Character Info:
Stray is 19 year old Tim Kyle - formerly known as Timothy Jackson Drake - who was adopted by Selina Kyle/Catwoman as a almost 10-year-old. The inccident in Ethiopia didn't end with anyone dead, which is why he never became a Robin. He is in a relationship with his universes Bernard ( @basically-bernard ).
He was thrown into this Dimension via cursed Amulet and has found his way back home, via a stable portal that he and others now use to switch between these two universes.
He sees Jacyn ( @jacynkaplanbrake ) as a brother, even tho things aren't too healthy between the two.
Batkid ( @batkid-from-another-father ) is a younger Tim, that he also sees as his little brother.
Duke ( @irl-batsignal ) is also a brother and good friend for him.
Thomas ( @toddlerofgotham ) has started to grow on him and has also become something like a little brother to him (or more likely like his own kid).
He also got adopted by Bitey ( @bite-anon ) somehow. Sometimes he lives with him and other times with the Selina from this universe ( @selinakyl-ee )
The Harley ( @harleenquinntime ) of this universe also got the Aunt title, which in return makes her daughter ( @luluquinn ) his little cousin.
Another close friend is Liminals ( @l1m1n4ls ), who have helped him and Duke once before to escape from DreamCorps ( @dreamcorpsinc ) who are now back, bringing trouble once more.
I'll add to this as the story progresses and I'm sorry for the late introduction and all the tags ^^"

Some extra Infos for anons who want to torment this little bean >:3
- His parents are still alive (Butterfly effect is working hard in this AU)- His parents did disown him for getting adopted by Selina and haven't talked to him directly since.
- He changed his name after 1 year, because the press was relentless with showing up whenever the name Timothy Jackson Drake was put down anywhere.
- He tried to contact his parents a few times in this first year, but was either ignored or belittled for his efforts.
- He and Jason (at the time still Robin) sunk the Batmobile in the river, after they took it out for a Joyride (Both Bat and Cat had been "preoccupied" and the boys were kinda pissed about it)
- He had a "phase" of staying up far too long + consuming worrisome amounts of energy drinks. This habit resurfaces when he is extremely stressed out. This does mess heavily with his nap schedule, that he has to help with his narcolepsy.
- He became Stray at 8 ½, after Catwoman couldn't persuade him to stay home and stop stalking the Bat's. Training him in basic survival skills for his stalking hobby, somehow evolved into him becoming her sidekick.
- He does not know what exactly happened to Jason, only that Robin didn't go out for a long time and that Jason was also missing school for months. After that Jason only showed up sporadically as Robin, until he stopped with his enrollment in Metropolis U. Now when he joins the other heroes from time to time, he always uses a new costume, confusing the villains and rogues. The others started to call him "Nameless", since he didn't give himself a name.
- He did date Stephanie for a short while, but both of them decided that they worked better as friends.
- Stephanie's Robin run was a bit longer, since it was really meant as training in this universe. She did go back to Spoiler after a year.
- The current Robin is Damian, who he sometimes can bond with, since Tim never was Robin and that they both like to talk about cats.
- Tim also likes to sometimes join other villains as a temporary sidekick. Manly the Riddler, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
- Tim is a bit more morally grey. When he helps with rescuing people, there is a chance that he will leave people behind who he knows are bad/irredeemable (This is talking about a single incident, where he left behind a father in a burning building and rescued his two kids, because he knew that he was actively molesting them. He also closed every door on his way outside.)
- Bitey did wipe his memories of an incident once, when he ate a man in front of him and Tim had (understandably) a panic attack.
- He had a problem with overly protective Stalking, that he has been working on.
- He is in therapy, since his Mom wanted him to process the adoption healthy and is still going now.
- Bruce helped Selina with suing the Drake's, since they didn't answer the emails she or her lawyers sent. They only came back to Gotham, after Bruce Wayne's lawyers took over the case.
- Tim's parents gave up custody, when the case started to gain attention from the public to save face.
(I think this is everything? I'll add more at some point ^^)
