Abilities:
Due to extensive training by Batman, Robin is a master detective as well as a extremely good martial artist. Hes had training in acrobatics since he was a child, first by his parents and then by Batman.
He also has access to a large amount of gadgets.
History:
Robin's parents were acrobats in the circus and as such he was raised to take part in their act. This was cut short dramatically by gangsters that cut the line on the trapeze because the circus owner refused to pay protection money. Adopted by Bruce Wayne who had been in the audience but couldn't do anything without giving away his identity as Batman.
With Batman's help Dick was trained in everything he needed to fight crime and unknown to Dick eventually be Bruce's replacement if anything ever happened to him. Even though they had a good partnership Dick felt like Batman was treating him with kid gloves still, even after all the training and ability he had demonstrated. Refusing to be treated like a child and hidden under the Bat's shadow Robin moved cities to make a name for himself.
When Starfire landed on Earth Robin found himself working with a bunch of other teenage heroes. Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg. This was the start of Robin having his own team, the Teen Titans.
It was with this team that Robin found his nemesis, Slade. A man who was like the mirror image of his own mentor. Slade pushed Robin in ways that the teen had never imaged. Even to the point were Robin took on a different code name Red X to try and get close to Slade and whatever he was planning. Unfortunately Slade saw through it and used nanobots injected into his friends to force Robin to work for him.
With Slade defeated Robin and the rest of the Titans slip back into their normal crime fighting routine which lead them to make contact with Terra. Even though Robin was sure she was hiding something they eventually make her a full fledged Titan. Slade returned and it was brought to light that Terra had switched sides though she sacrificed herself to stop the madman once and for all.
The adventures didn't stop there, Red X resurfaced with someone else in the suit that was on par with Robin in almost every way. Weird gas had Robin acting crazy to the point that he thought Slade was back, it was only with Raven's help that he broke free of the insanity.
Robin returned the favor by helping Raven defeat her father with the rest of the Titans but just when the Titans were about to get back into their normal stride it seems that a new problem has arisen that Robin can't avoid. He has to go back to High school. It was bad enough living in the Batman's shadow but now he has to deal with trying to be a normal teenager.

Personality:
Robin is a natural born leader. Fiercely determined to keep the villains at bay and innocent lives out of trouble, he can often be too hard on himself. He sometimes take his duties too seriously, at the risk of endangering himself and those he cares for. He also react negatively when things don't go his way or he loses causing him to clash with the other Titans, mostly Cyborg. He, also, is a "attack first, ask questions later" person when it comes to villains.
Robin tends to get fixated on problems or stressful things, such as Slade, to the point of obsession. Like his Mentor Robin is used to using intimidation to get what he wants and sometimes has difficulty switching that mind set off.
Counter to all that though Robin loves teaching Starfire about Earth and making sure shes happy and content. He finds her odd look on the world so different to his own and that helps to keep him balanced.

Roleplay Sample:
"Black ball corner pocket" Robin grinned over at his opponent "Winner takes all, just like you said."
The three college guys laughed and pointed "Sure thing, you just pot it and we can call it a day."
Dick looked at the table, it was easy to see why they were doubtful. The black sat behind several other balls and it was an almost impossible shot. That was his thing though, making the seemingly impossible happen.
As he lined up the shot Robin almost felt sorry for the guy he was playing against but since Bruce had been slow with his allowance this week Dick had to take matters into his own hands. After all someone had to pay for the pizza and unlike the others he was the one with a proper guardian. With a click the hit the ball low and hard sending it rocketing up off the table which caused the other guys to start howling with laughter as the white ball smacked off the light hanging above the green felt table. The metal clanked and swung on its chain sending the ball back toward the table.
The guys fell silent as the ball rolled its way across the table and clicked the black into the hole "As you were saying" Robin smirked and held out his hand. Wasn't his fault he'd been making trick shots like that since he was ten. Though he did prefer using a birdarang to a pool ball. After the older teens had finished their groaning and thumping of the money into his hand Robin pulled out his phone and headed to his bike.
Flipping it open he hit speed dial "Hey, tell the rest of the guys Pizza night is still on. Robin saved the day as usual."
