TASK THREE

After doing some research on 80-ish movies and whatnot, here are three of young Robin’s favorite costumes:

1- Batman, a classic, with every young boy hoping to be a hero, and tuning in to re-runs of the 60′s tv show - Robin was one among many of his age group to follow up on the comic book idol.

2- Westley, from The Princess Bride. His skills and intelligence were second to none - though some more hardcore Inigo Montoya fans would beg to differ - and the approximation of the costume towards that of El Zorro from his comic books was more than enough to seal the deal.

3- Ghostbusters. Another classic while he was growing up, he and a group of his friends dressed up as them -- all along arguing about who was playing who, of course.

Robin Finch | 42 | Psychic | Birch & Bar owner | Neutral

A man who would self-describe himself as being ‘of few words’ before letting out many many more than one would think necessary while introducing their own little ol’ selves.

Robin once thought to embark upon a career in law, but he found it wasn’t something that he felt truly at home with.

He’s been divorced for a few years now, and has a teenage son that he shares custody of, though he lives permanently with his mother due to school and not wanting to uproot his entire life.

He feels far more comfortable behind the counter of his pub/bar than he would in staying home alone for the evening. In a way, he’s very sensitive to the feeling of loneliness, even if he might not admit it verbally.

His psychic abilities aren’t too well-developed, but he’s a very empathic person when it comes to others, their needs, and the overwhelming urge to help those he comes across.

Almost as one would with a wounded bird, pun on his name fully intended.

Robin didn’t have much contact with his father, being brought up by his single mother until she passed on during his teenage years, and though he can’t say he’s not curious, he won’t be looking for any hints as to his heritage.

His focus is on the family he built, whatever his son needs, rather than what kind of people he’s come from.

He does have some interest in developing a little bit of his magic, but he’d be at the same time wary of those younger than him and their powers. If only because he hasn’t trained his own, and isn’t entirely sure whether he wants to.

More to be developed soon hopefully, I want to see where things take him since I’ve played him twice before but with different lores/species and he’s a big fave softy of mine.

Born and raised in Huntsville, Ontario, Robin only commuted to earn his law degree but has otherwise never left his hometown for any prolonged period of time.

He was plenty happy to grow up and stay right where he was though, on some cases, his growing up differred from what had been his first plan-through.

Namely, his high school sweetheart, first girlfriend and first love, gave birth to their first child when they were just graduated from High School. Robin had immediately proposed that they marry, before she was even showing, and they were proud to receive their little girl into the world.

Thankfully, his parents were of much needed financial aid, but Robin saw it as his duty to keep themselves afloat, thus putting most of his attention in his studying and, then, working odd hours at however many jobs he could manage.

They had a second child, a boy, some years later, with her focused on raising them -- even as he graduated, his workload was very much jampacked as he believed that to be the best way to help out.

There’s never a question as to whether he loves his children or not but, sadly, he’s never been good at expressing just how much he cherishes them growing up. He can only hope they’re aware, even though he’s recently been taking steps in being more proactive about it.

About two years ago, they made the joined decision to divorce, seeing how their love for each other had cooled and they thought it best not to expose the family to any type of unhealthy living altogether. They remain in good terms, but he’s moved out of the family home and into a new place of his own.

With their oldest daughter being already in her early twenties, she’s freer to come and go as she likes, whereas their son is in his mid-teens, and a high school student. Both of them have their own bedroom in Robin’s home, should they choose to spend the night at his.

As well as a practicing attorney, Robin is the proud owner of a local pub, named ‘The Blackbird’. He usually oversees things during the evening, even having his dinner in there if neither of his children are visiting, since he’s a social creature and doesn’t really like eating on his own.

Since divorcing, he was in a brief relationship with another man, and identifies himself as bisexual -- though anyone he ever dated would have to be approved of by his children.

Robin is very self-deprecating but kind to others, genuinely interested in their well-being and the bettering of the town. As such, he tries to involve himself in town-related affairs.

He can totally be the dad friend if you’ll let him. Please, let him.
