"The Batman taught me, guided me, trained me. What I am I owe to him. What more can I say? And Superman. I grew up in your shadow, too. You taught me honor, selflessness, and the true meaning of the word �hero.� � I�m the sum of so many people who have influenced me, shaped my thinking, and given me love. Mom and Dad, you were the first � what you gave me will never leave. It�s forever locked in my heart and in my soul. Batman, you took in a young, frightened boy. And you showed him how to become a good man. Kory, it�s so funny. I spent the better part of last year fighting to forget what made me me. I almost alienated everyone, but you stuck by me and I love you for that. I gave up being Robin because that tied me to Batman. But now I become someone new who commemorates all those who made me someone special." -- Dick Grayson (Tales of the Teen Titans # 44)

Dick Grayson/Nightwing is the character I play on Gotham Mush. For anyone interested in playing on a Superhero themed mush, I highly recommend it. I've enjoyed my time there greatly.

Dick Grayson was the original Robin, the first partner of Batman, and has always been my favorite character. He's changed a lot over the years, from his time as the Boy Wonder, to joining the Teen Titans, to giving up being Robin and becoming Nightwing, and finally to leaving the Titans and becoming truly his own man at last. He's one of the most interesting characters in the DC universe, and I'm thrilled with the opportunity to play him.

For those interested, I've put up a bio of the character to highlight the most important parts of Dick Grayson's life. As well, I've posted some of my roleplay logs that I've gotten a chance to do with this character.

Dick: "You left Gotham in the care of Jean Paul. You hardly knew him. And what you did know didn�t exactly recommend him for the job. You left Tim alone with a lunatic. The kid could have been killed."
Bruce: "There wasn�t time."
Dick: "No time to pick up a phone? No time to call me?"
Bruce: "It wasn�t that easy. You know it wasn�t. I didn�t know your situation. I knew you were working through some problems �"
Dick: "Yeah. �Problems.� And I thought there was one guy who�d have faith in me. But when it comes down to the test, you picked somebody else to succeed you. A stranger."
Bruce: "I never knew you wanted to follow me as The Batman."
Dick: "Well � I�ve thought about it."
Bruce: "You left before we could ever discuss it. I assumed you wanted to get out from under my shadow. Make a name for yourself. You�ve done that. Created a life. Fought your own fights. I didn�t have the right to call you back."
Dick: "�the right? I'd die for you, Bruce."
Bruce: "But I couldn't ask you to. I didn't know how to� Look, this is the part I'm not good at. You reached an age where you couldn't be the boy wonder anymore. You outgrew it. A distance grew between us. I left so many things unsaid. I handled it all wrong. But that's the way it always is, isn't it?"
Dick: "I don't know what you mean. The way what always is?"
Bruce: "Between fathers and sons." (Robin # 13)
