Name: Charles Richard Drake

Nickname: Charlie, Charles Bishop, Charlie Bishop

Codename: Red Hawk

Public or Secret Secret

Age: 19

Side: Teen Avengers

Race: Human

Birthplace: Gotham City

Equipment: As Red Hawk, which is a composite of his mother and fathers codenames, he has created a costume that reflects his stance as an archer, but also as a bat-family member. This costume s an almost entirely black bodysuit with short sleeves, but the left pectoral upwards to his neck is crimson. It has short sleeves, and is made from nomex and kevlar, making it almost entirely bulletproof, fireproof and electrically insulated. Instead of a domino mask, Charles wears black sunglasses that are just as good as his mask. On the left pectoral, and back of the costume, he has the Red Robin symbol.

In addition to this, Charlie has added a black and red hunting jacket, which has been modified for his costume. This jacket contains retractable wings that come out when the red robin symbol on his jacket is pressed. The symbol is on the right side of the jacket, and it contains microcircuits that are pressure sensitive. He added this symbol to honour his father and to add a small bit of flair to the jacket. A crimson hood covers his head, and it is kept in place through the use of an electric circuit.

In addition, he wears long black fingerless gloves to cover his hands and arms, which contains a holo computer. On his back, Charlie wears a quiver and bow. The bow rests collapsed on his lower back, and the quiver is on the upper portion of his back. He also keeps his equipment in a black utility belt, and the rest of his weapons on his back if he needs to. His suit incorporates tech known as Stealth Tech, just so he can be hidden with his abilities in stealth. This tech turns his suit grey and black, making it harder to see.

• Bow: Charles’s bow is an exact duplicate of his mothers, which is in turn a duplicate of Hawkeyes. It requires peak human strength to operate, or higher. But there is a limit to how much strength can be used on it, which is two tons. If someone with more strength than two tons uses the bow, it will snap. It is constructed from light weight carbon Nano fibres, making it more weight reduced than it looks. His particular bow, while being styled after his mothers and Hawkeyes, his is a compound bow as he prefers that type of bow, even if it is more bulky.

• Battle Staves: Charles wields battles staves styled after his mothers, as well as after Mockingbirds. They are able to connect into a single staff, which can also be used for pole vaulting. The staves are made of an unbreakable polymer, allowing him to hit someone with the full extent of his strength. He doesn't carry them at all times, only at times when he has no access to his sword or bow. As they connect into a single staff, he regularly uses them as a staff to be used as a bo-staff.

• Trick Arrows and Regular Arrows: Charles carries with him a number of trick arrows. There are various types, though he regularly uses EMP arrows, tranquilizer arrows, explosive tipped arrows, net arrow, bola arrow and a zip line arrow. Other arrows are used if the situation requires it.

Holo-Computer: Charlie's gloves featured a built-in computer system with holographic interface. Although capable of scanning and wireless connectivity where appropriate, USB and TRS connector cables and a USB port are included.

Utility Belt: Charlie's utility belt contains several equipment used by the bat-family. Such as several types of Red Robin throwing discs, such as normal ones, explosive ones, and ones that emit an electric pulse. As well as this, he uses a small evidence kit, forensic kit, gas pellets, plastic explosive, bolas, smoke bombs and a re-breather.

Abilities/Powers: Peak Human Condition: Charles is in the lower levels of peak human conditioning, having been conditioned since he was thirteen years old. He is capable of lifting 450lbs,run a mile in half a minute, perform acrobatics with some ease, dodge an arrow or bullet at near point blank range, keep up continuous physical exercise for an hour and take more punishment then an average human.

Genius Level Intellect: Charlie's intellect is naturally high, his IQ being tested at 184. He is quite skilled at detective work, computer sciences, biology, engineering, inventing and chemistry. He has a natural eidetic memory that he has had since birth, which is bordering almost total recall. He can remember nearly everything he has ever learned, but it still takes an effort to learn these things.

Skilled Acrobat: Charlie is a skilled acrobat, having been trained by his parents in acrobatics. While he is not on Dick Graysons level, he is still a skilled acrobat.

Master Martial Artist: Having been trained in martial arts since he was four years old, Charles is a master of martial arts. He has proficiency in Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Karate, Kendo, Tae Kwan Do, Aikido, Kenpo, Stick Fighting, Kung Fu and Judo. He is most proficient in Kenpo, Kendo, Jiu Jitsu, Kung Fu and Stick Fighting, having been learning these longer than the others. As well as this, Charles has a particular affinity for Jiu Jitsu and Kenpo, using these two forms regularly in conjunction, but he will also use the other forms he used regularly, if Kenpo and Jiu Jitsu don't work. He was taught hand-to-hand combat and martial arts by his mother, father, Clint Barton and a few other teachers, but the majority of his training was done by his mother and father, as well as Clint. Charles's martial arts ability is great enough that he has taken ten people on in one fight, and beaten them with only a few superficial injuries.

Skilled Archer and Marksman: Charlie has been trained archery and marksmanship, being a skilled archer in his own right. He would be outclassed by any members of the Arrow family. He can fire 22 arrows in one minute, and shoot any part of the human anatomy, though he never fires to kill. As well as this, Charlie has shown the ability to fire two arrows at once, though he rarely uses this as it is not too reliable. He is an exceptional shot, hitting his target 8 out of 10 times, and being able to throw a wing-ding with precision. He can even throw a throwing knife with enough precision.

Skilled in Stealth: Charlie is skilled in stealth, able to sneak into a few high security places without much difficulty. He is unable to sneak into the Bat-Cave, Watchtower, Lexcorp, and other highly secure facilities without being detected though.

Skilled Detective: Due to vigorous mental training, and things he has learned over the years, Charlie is a skilled detective. He is able to decipher mysteries with skill.

Multilingual: He is able to speak, read and write English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Russian.

Skilled Tactician and Strategist: Charlie, much like his father is also a brilliant strategist and tactician. He has planned out complex strategies that have allowed him and his team to win, even if they have been complex at times. The strategies and tactics play to the strengths of his team and to his strengths.

Weapons Proficiency: Charles is proficient in the use of swords, bows, staves, staffs and throwing weapons. This is through his years of training, as well as his continued training regimen. He is most skilled in bows and staff fighting.

Weaknesses: Lack of left peripheral vision: Due to a training injury he has little no peripheral vision on his left side, meaning he can not see out of the corner of his left eye. This puts him at a disadvantage if he needs to look to his left side.

Friends and Family: Charlie is protective of his friends and family, and if they are hurt, he will go after the person who has done this and if angry enough, he could kill them.

Human: Charlie is as human as anyone, just more developed then most. While he can take more of a punishment then most, he will eventually succumb to a fatal injury if he keeps fighting.

Overconfidence: At times, Charlie is overconfident in his abilities and will underestimate his opponents. When this happens, he can be at a disadvantage.

Survivors Guilt: Charles has a survivors guilt complex. Whenever he survives something where others were hurt or killed, Charles will become depressed, and manic in his anger for a few weeks. This also leads to him becoming angered if someone slanders the event in question, and insults him.

Personality: Charlie Drake is said to be like his father in many ways, as he can be shy, couragous and even determined. He is also a bit like his mother, as he is quite determined, and strong willed. To keep his secret identity a secret, he has constructed a fake personality to use in his civilian life, which only contains bits and pieces of the real him. In public and other places, Charlie acts shy, acting like he is afraid to look people in the eye or look at them when he talks to them. As well as this, he is quiet, not speaking much unless someone talks to him first. He can be overprotective of his friends at times, showing that he does not want to lose anyone from his life. He also wears glasses in his civilian identity to hide his Red Hawk identity as well. One quirk he has in both personalities is that he is slightly chatty, making remarks to people during a fight.

Charlie's real personality, the one he uses as Red Hawk and towards his closest friends and family, is still overprotective but less so than he is as his civilian guise. However, as Red Hawk, he acts more gruff. He uses a gravelly voice to distinguish his two identities. He is slightly more boisterous and egotistical in his Red Hawk identity, using this trait to appear more dangerous than he is. He is overconfident at times, however. And he cares a lot for his friends, being empathic and understanding towards people, despite his anger and depression. However, he is brooding and angry as well. He saw his mother and father almost die. And ever since then, Charlie has tried to use his anger. To harness it as Red Hawk, and to control it, to make him a better crime fighter.

The anger within Charlie is more of a demon than something to aid him. It is constantly trying to make him commit atrocities that he would never do. And due to this anger demon, Charlie struggles to contain it and conform it into a force of good. He has a high level of control over it though, never giving into this demon he has. One final trait Charlie has is that he is afraid of taking on his father's former mantle of Red Robin, believing he can't live up to it just yet. He is afraid of screwing up as a hero, one reason he hasn't taken on the mantle of Red Robin.

Character Description: Charles stands at five foot seven, with a lean muscular build. His muscles, however, are usually hidden by his clothes. His black hair is generally kept either flat, or slightly spiked. As well as this, he also occasionally styled it in other styles, trying to make it look distinctive. The clothes he regularly wears can vary from long sleeved, four button shirts, to long sleeved formal shirts. Accompanying this is jeans, black or blue trainers, and a black jacket.

History: Tim Drake and Kate Bishop met when the Young Avengers and Teen Titans came to blows. They fell for each other, and began to work together. For three years, they were together. And then he proposed, which resulted in them marrying four months later. And 11 months after their wedding day, Charlie Timothy Drake was born, a bundle of joy that would make his parents the happiest people around. Kate and Tim had decided that they only wanted one child, and that Charlie would be enough for them.

Charlie's parents were loving and caring towards him, and decided that they would train him in everything they knew, but let him have a normal life as well. From the age of four, Kate also taught Charlie archery. This was because she wanted her son to also be like her, even if he did take after his dad a bit. This allowed them both to train their son in their trades, making him more versatile then the others. In addition to all of this, he was trained in the use of a knife and Escrima very competently, something he was become very proficient with, also learning parkour to make sure he could use it when he was older. Despite all this training, Charlie had a sort of ordinary life. He had friends he would hang out with, and he occasionally played basketball with his dad, and going shopping with his mother, even if he hates this bit.

By the time he was twelve, Tim took Charlie out as his sidekick, codenamed Red Bird, and he was also put on a diet and training regiment to get him to the peak of human potential. Together, father and son patrolled the City's of Gotham as Red Robin and Red Bird. As Red Bird, Charlie utilized a collapsible bow and Escrima Sticks as well, something he would keep using for the rest of his career. During one night of training, there was small accident. He was hit in the side of his left eye by the staff. The staff caused a severe disability, causing him to lose his peripheral vision in his left eye. However, he was able to keep working as Robin despite his injury, compensating for his lack of left peripheral vision. There were also nights when Kate would join them, Hawkeye, Red Robin and Red Bird working together. They were a happy family of crime fighters, always working in tandem. Tim was still training Charlie, but Charlie was beginning to finish his training. For five years, Charlie was Red Bird. He had managed to go to Gotham University, and graduate at the age of seventeen with a masters degree in engineering. Around the time Charles was fourteen, he had joined the new version of the Teen Titans and Young Avengers: The Teen Avengers, a mixture of the two teams as they had merged into a single team.

One day, a few weeks after Charlie had gotten his degree, Ra's Al Ghul attacked the Drakes while they were on patrol. He had been making a plot to attack Tim and his family. This was because Tim had sabotaged many of his plots, and Ra's was finally ready to attack. During this assault, Tim and Kate were knocked out. This caused Charlie to lose his temper and composure, and he attacked Ra's. Even though he held his own for a short time, Ra's stabbed Charlie in the gut. But, Charlie returned the favour by stabbing the centuries old mad man in the shoulder. Tim and Kate woke up, and managed to subdue Ra’s, while Charles blacked out.

When he came to, Charles made a decision. He left behind the Red Bird identity, and took on a new one: he became Red Hawk, a composite of his mother and fathers identities and made an entirely new costume. And for the last two years, he has worked with the Teen Avengers, putting his talents to good use. Only a year ago was he appointed the leader of the team. Through his own initiative, they have moved into the old Mount Justice headquarters, using the left over tech from there for their own needs.

RP Sample:
The pain in his left arm, as well as the after effects of his electrocution, were causing Charlie's mind and his reflexes to become clouded and weaker than usual. Plus, his archery skills were less sharp than they generally would be. After he had fired his arrow, he had very quickly collapsed his bow and placed it on his back again. He didn't want to use too many arrows, and he preferred to use hand to hand combat and his bo staff in close quarters. And he was about to take a step forward, to try and tackle her to the ground, when she did the very thing he had tried to prevent.

King was dead now. And that meant, Charlie had failed. Glaring at her, he listened to her words. Some part of him, the part of him that was like Jason, understood her words. But the rest of him didn't. He then began to feel the rage bubble within him.“You may have done him a favour. But you didn't do yourself any favours right now! Because you want to know something Widow? If you're part of a team that considers themselves doing the right thing, then you are so wrong! You have become no better than the villains and scum you kill.”Charlie spat this out.

And he then ran right at her, running at a speed that was greater than that of the finest athletes. He went into a tackling motion towards Black Widow. But then, he tensed his legs and leapt over her, and as he landed, he swept at her legs fast. He wasn't going to let her get away now. He planned to show her the error of her ways, even if it hurt him.

Face-Claim: Josh Hutcherson
