"Roy wouldn't like Jason! They have completely opposing ideologies! It's out of character for Roy!"

Jason was a general menace that kidnapped Mia for one conversation in a pathetic attempt to convince her to abandon Ollie and partner with him instead. He kills criminals, but only criminals. His mindset as Red Hood is "I'm protecting civilians by killing criminals"

Jade is a mercenary, an assassin, someone who kills people for money regardless of whether or not they're a criminal and has no problem killing people without monetary incentive. Roy fell in love with her. The government told him to bring her in, since she's a mercenary, and he fell in love with her and didn't bring her in, indirectly allowing her to continue to kill people.

Out of character my ass.

WHEN DOES THE SUFFERING END???

Hi, I love your fics and the way you write Roy. I know there are already a lot of comics starter reading lists for Roy, and have gone through some of them, but I was curious if you have any comics to recommend as having your favorite *characterization* of Roy, the ones that really get his personality, regardless of the quality of the overall comic. Or I'd even be interested in just what you see as his guiding traits!

I have a Roy recs list here! And a post about a core element of his personality here.

Looking at the stories I've loved that involve Roy, I'd say key traits include:

Lian being his guiding star. She is the most important thing in his life and any comic that doesn't get that doesn't get Roy.

He is extremely outgoing, charming, and cool. He also knows it which is a little obnoxious.

Flirts. All the time. With everyone.

Extremely competent.

Desperately emotionally needy in a way that slips out by accident before he bottles it up again.

Loyal to a fault.

Short-tempered but very quick to forgive. He doesn't hold grudges.

The above three traits mean he will enter or stay in an unhealthy relationship for longer than he should because he's terrified of being left again (but resigned to it being inevitable).

Very good with anyone younger than him: he's a good big brother, a good team leader, a good mentor.

He used to have a lot of hangups about being considered as good as Dick, good enough to lead, more than Ollie's former sidekick, more than a junkie, etc. I think he's mostly outgrown this now but it crops up occasionally, especially around Dick.

Desperate for validation.

Not always great at recognizing when to stop teasing or lay off. He tends to regress to acting like a teenager around the other founding Titans. This manifests most obviously in mild bullying of Garth (who also regresses by just taking it rather than smacking Roy with the entire ocean).

Loves tech.

Will occasionally rant about politics but not as much as Ollie.

Outsiders (2003) in a nutshell:

Dick: Donna is dead my entire life is sorta falling apart and I'm going to isolate myself and never be on a team again because of my grief.

Roy:

Also Roy: Here is our emotional support team that you will get attached to because you not getting attached to a team is kinda laughable.

Also: ✨ homoerotic subtext ✨
