Hobbies: Keeping an eye on the younger Bats to make sure they don't mess up too bad, sending memes on their group chat, also send motivational posts to the group chat after which Tim blocks him temporarily (Tim: "We know you're being inspirational and all but on us motivation works the opposite way so think twice before sending us these posts. Just yesterday Jason got motivated to let go of everything that was holding him back from achieving his target and now Bruce will kill you if he finds out you indirectly triggered a massacre of criminals."), holding training sessions with the siblings, watching movies.

Personality: Richard in this story is definitely the adhesive of the family such that when he had to fake his death for a year without letting the others know that he hadn't actually died, the entire family fell apart. If it hadn't been for Alfred, all of them would have dispersed due to Richard's absence.

The prominent personality facts about him are as follows:

• Very friendly and charming. A bit flirtatious in general but loyal to Barbara.

• Gives the impression that he can trust people easily since he's good at forming bonds with everyone, but in reality he does not trust that easily. He might be very friendly on the outside but it takes time and effort to gain his trust.

• Very supportive and motivating towards his younger siblings.

• Is such a huge part of the family and his presence affects them all so much that without him, all of them feel hollow.

• Makes sure to help out his family members the best he can.

• His favorite adoptive brother is Tim and favorite adoptive sister is Cassandra.

• Knows exactly what his family members and friends need at the moment. Is very adept at providing whatever is needed, be it a shoulder to cry on, a comforting hug, a raid to the bakery or even a heart-to-heart conversation.

• Adores Ashley just like he adores Damian. Both of them are like little spoilt children to him.

• Out of the new friends he has made due to Jason's reunion with Ashley and Co., his favorite is Dominic. He finds the man to be a lot like his own self and the two bond together very well.

• Since the Bats have a coincidental tradition to have a Super best friend, Richard's Kryptonian best friend is Kara Zor-El. Both are a chaotic duo which turns into the Troublesome Trio when Wally West gets involved too.

• Is usually the one to cause family drama but denies the claims every time.

• The year he had to spend away from his family was the worst for him but his strong will and determination kept him going.

• Even though he wasn't supposed to have any direct contact with his family members since he was supposedly dead, he still helped them out whenever he could without letting them see him. Eventually Damian figured out his secret and confirmed it with Tim too.

• Probably the best fighter in the family. Uses a perfect balance of attack and defense and his moves are always fluid yet unpredictable.

• Excellent observer and analyzes people near accurately. This trait helped him a lot on his undercover mission as well.

Theme Song: Even If It Hurts by Sam Tinnesz

Even if it hurts, even if it makes me bleed.

I'll carry you, pushing through with the blood on my sleeves.

Origin Story: (follows the canon storyline with a few modifications by me)

The major modification in his story is that he got shot in the head during a patrol night and barely survived. But his survival was kept a secret from the family so only Bruce and Alfred knew that he didn't die. Later he was sent to Spyral on an undercover mission.

After a year of working with Spyral and helping Batman to uncover the mystery behind the spy organization, Richard eventually returned to the family and revealed that he hadn't died.
