Appearance
Picture:
Hair Colour:
Light Brown
Eye Colour:
Dark green
Build:
Muscular, but in a slender way.
Skin Tone:
A bit more tan than the general noble, from being outside, as well as in the Holy Land.
Height:
6’
Dress Style:
Robin always wears colors that will let him blend in with his forest surroundings, so he always sports the green hooded shirt and the brown pants, tucked into the brown or black leather boots that are worn from the assorted missions. On colder days, he will don his green cloak that has been mended in a few places. He would never think of wearing anything different.
Specifics:
The green hooded shirt that he wears almost always has become famous in the town of Nottingham as belonging to the most wanted man in the shire. Along with this, he is always carrying his bow and quiver full of arrows with him on all missions, so you might just spot that, as well as a knife at his belt and perhaps even the curved Saracen blade that he acquired on his first trip to the Holy Land as a soldier.
Psyche
Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual
Self Image:
Robin knows that he is doing the right thing by defending the villagers of Nottingham. But he doesn’t like to think about what he did in the Holy Land, having been killing recklessly. He has entirely turned around his ways, attempting to steer himself away from killing without thinking first. But occasionally, when he finds himself doing this, he despises himself, and attempts to turn his wrong doings around.
To the Outward Eye:
Being the all-famous Robin Hood, most all villagers know what to expect when meeting up with him. They know he will be kind by his smile and they’ll know he will try to help them in any way possible by his caring expression. Others who are against what Robin stands for will receive the all-too-familiar scowl and an arrow poised towards them.
Social Status:
Robin began as being the noble, being allowed in all gatherings and banquets. But, of course, now being the outlaw, he’s not exactly welcomed with open arms just everywhere. However he joins any noble’s festivities, whether the nobles like it or not. He is always welcomed at almost every villager’s house. But he chooses to live with the fact that he is an ‘outcast’ by taking up his own home in the forest with his choice friends at his side always.
Positive Traits:
Negative Traits:
Skills:
Robin’s main skill is his brilliant talent with the bow. He was born with this skill, and being a nobleman, was taught all necessary weaponry, bow being the main lesson. His bow won him many medals in the Holy Land. Other talents he may have is the ability to speak the native language of Acre, Turkey, which is Arabic. As well as being a great strategist. He can normally think of a good plan in many situations…
Likes:
His betrothed, Marian, holds his heart the most.
Seeing the look on the Sheriff’s face when the gang succeeds.
Spending a quiet evening at the camp (this is rare, however.)
Talking with Marian.
A beautiful Spring’s day (you can generally find him on Locksley hill on days like this).
Climbing a Tree (it reminds him of his childhood).
Dislikes:
The visions of the Holy Land that flash up in his mind, especially when he pulls his bow to fire.
Being reminded of the latest happenings in Acre.
Loosing against the Sheriff, especially when it costs lives.
The long trek from the towns to the camp, especially on a cold day or after a tiring mission.
Recovering from his assorted wounds from missions.
Failing, because he feels like it is his fault.
History:
Robin was raised a noble in Locksley village by Thornton, his father’s man servant. Both of Robin’s parents died when he was only four years of age, not old enough to even remember them aside from a vague feeling. Having rule of both the Locksley manor and village, Robin grew up independent and almost cocky, not having any father’s footsteps to follow. Exploring Nottingham with his loyal man servant, Much, Robin came to know all of the villages and all of the “hideouts” where he could hide from the guards after he had been up to no good.
As he matured into a teenager, a certain young and beautiful noble girl caught his eye, and soon to be his heart. He would often make visits to this certain Lady Marian’s manor, with Much always tagging along behind. Soon the three were almost inseparable, and Robin and Marian grew closer by the day.
It was in the year 1187 though, when Robin was about twenty years of age that King Richard requested all able bodied men to join in the fight for the Holy Land. Robin instantly agreed, and, as he had always done, Much tagged along with him, remaining forever loyal. Much to the sorrow and anger of Lady Marian, Robin gave his farewell to England, his home, and his beloved Lady and boarded the ship to the Holy Land.
During these five years in the desert land of Acre, Robin would often awake from vivid nightmares of both the war itself and a corrupt town called Nottingham. It was as if something was calling desperately for him to return home.
The last beckoning call was reality. In a Saracen attack on the King in Robin’s camp, Robin was shocked with a stab wound to his side just near to his heart. After still bravely saving the king, he was given the gentle command to return home to tend to his wound, which caused him great pain. He was finally going to return to his home; to reside once again in the beautiful town of Nottingham and to see once again the face of his love.
But upon arriving back on the shores of England, Robin discovered Nottingham was not as he had left it. A new evil ruled in Nottingham’s castle, and vile men and intentions lurked around every corner. He couldn’t stand the change and he knew he had to do something… And so, in one brave and sacrificial move, Robin was outlawed from his title of nobility and position, all having innocent villagers from the gallows.
So he now resides among the trees of Sherwood Forest with his gang of LOYAL men (and woman! ) and with Lady Marian acting as his spy in the Castle. Though the anger seems to linger between them that he ever left of for the Holy Land, Robin’s heart still remains imprisoned with Lady Marian…
The fight for justice has only just begun. And Robin, with his small army of outlaws and his always loyal right hand man, lead this fight, risking everything, but gaining many things through their hardships…

He was staring at the sky. It was the first time he had looked at it since she had gone, and it was still gray, at least in his eyes. It would always remain that way, because it seemed as if her smile was the only thing that called the sun out.
A breeze whispered through the lone tree's branches above him. But he did not feel it on his face, because it seemed to only be felt when her presence was felt by his side.
An unceasing, distant but always there aching was in his stomach, reverberating all through his body. As if a hole was left where she was not there; As if his heart and soul was still left behind in Acre when he looked into the lifeless face of his love as she breathed her last. The love that he had gained back after so much effort, just to loose her, even through the great effort to keep her with him for the final time.
The world had ceased the moment he had sat beneath the boughs of the tree that he had spent so many sorrowful moments under. It seemed that the last time he was underneath his tree, he was watching her form walk away from him as she was to be married to the man who had robbed her of him anyway. Why did everything have to be robbed from him? So many good people that had been his followers, had paid the ultimate cost for their deeds. Why did they have to leave him behind? To be so great a savior for all in the world around him, the world he held dear even through its changes, and to feel so small inside it. To feel as if every single thing that you held dear and were trying to cling to was being wrenched from your grasp and you were left behind. You were always left behind. Alone...
He could see her now, though she was by him. She was smiling, holding his hand and just talking. She was with him; For the final time, perhaps, but that was enough. Her smile was remaining. And her blue happy eyes as she faded. But her presence was with him; Always and forever.

But he chooses to live with the fact that he is an ‘outcast’ by taking up his own home in the forest with his choice friends at his side always.
Positive Traits:
- Sense of Leadership – From being the leader in one of the many troops in the Holy Land, Robin acquired this trait, and uses it always.
- Bravery – Also from being a crusader, he got a sense of bravery, and from the adventures with Much when he was younger, he can charge into a situation, knowing that he’ll get out of it easily.
- Understanding – Since he returned to England from the Crusades the first time, he was committed to understand the hardships of the villagers of Nottingham.
- Slightly Cheeky – Being the most wanted man in Nottinghamshire, you need to come with a good amount of slyness as well as wittiness about you. This comes in handy when Robin needs to talk his way out of things.
- Cunning – His mind is his greatest tool when a good plan is needed. He can think up almost any plot, that most always turns out perfectly.
Negative Traits:
- Hardheaded – If something or someone matters enough to him, nothing can stop him from defending and saving it, not even sense. He is a little too willing to loose his own life when it comes to something he cares for.
- Temper – Robin can have a quick temper, but it is generally when a plan of his fails and the Sheriff wins for the day, or if some harm has come to his friends or to Nottingham’s people.
- Rash – Being fearless is one thing, but Robin kind of kicks it up a notch. Occasionally he’ll plan things that are virtually impossible, leading to a narrow escape, and with him lucky to be alive.
- Cocky – At occasional times, Robin can bring out his cocky side, especially when he’s winning against the Sheriff. This almost always ends badly.
- A streak of Evil – Of course, Robin would never consider going to the dark side, but when it comes to his anger against Guy of Gisborne, he seems to loose his old kind personality and dons an evil side that barely ever comes out. This is when he needs his friends most…
