backstory;
born in gotham, bruce drake is the son of tim drake and stephanie brown. named after his grandfathers; bruce wayne and arthur brown. he showed signs of his intelligence as child, making him easy to compare to his father and more importantly one of the men he was named after, bruce wayne. the comparisons started as a joke when he was young but it wasn't too long before they became serious.
bruce became the newest robin after damian wayne's retirement at only 11. he was a very quick learner. a strategist like his father and stealthy. like his mother, he had a lot of fun with his robin role. finding thrill and excitement in catching bad guys.
like every robin before him, bruce became very well trained. he was practically deadly by the time he was 16. during his robin years, bruce joined a young team of heroes that was lead by jon kent. unfortunately, this added more pressure to him to be like the robins before him. responsibilities and trauma just kept adding up. being robin wasn't all that fun anymore. he couldn't save everyone. he saw terrible things that a kid shouldn't have seen at all. massacres, brutalities, death... and all he could do was look up to the rest of his family members and act like the man he was compared to. like batman. pretending that none of it affected him. like this was normal. he was robin and it was his job to help his family. now he wasn't just helping his family but a whole other group on top of it. all the while acting like he was fine.
he loved his time on the team when he wasn't thinking about his responsibilities. he found love in daphne kent. their dates were fun and freeing when he could find the time to go on them with her. jon kent was one of his closest friends. everyone on the team was close to him but they still represented work.
one day, while he was in gotham acting as robin... bruce came across a group of the rogue's kids. after fighting with them a bit, one of them said something that was a little too true. causing him to stop and for once... let them all go. when they met him again, he spent the whole time actually talking to him. getting to know them. over time, he became friends with one of them. tearing his allegiance in two. these new friends got him to rebel and have a lot more fun. there was no pressure to be with them.
eventually, he'd have to make a choice. jon's team came across the villain group bruce had been spending time with. they had a plan to take out the entire group because of their destructive behaviour. the plan soon went astray when bruce started making his rounds to each team member. taking them out one by one. betraying his friends for these new villains. like bruce wayne, he'd always had a plan on how to take each and every one of them out. leaving the team there after he'd beaten each member, bruce left with his new team. the criminals he'd been hanging around. flirting with their carefree lifestyle until he eventually fell for it.
for years bruce ran with this group as robin. due to his inside knowledge on how the batfam operated, he was able to avoid all of them for a long time. committing crimes as robin had caused quite a stir in gotham. no one wanted to see the boy wonder as a criminal. no one wanted to believe that he'd turned from good and started running with a gang of crooks. ...but he had.
last year, robin was finally caught by his mother, spoiler. when he was brought to the courts, many of his old family and friends spoke against him. casting him out as a black sheep. they all seemed so disappointed in him and all he could feel was torn. on one hand, he was angry. angry that he'd been caught at all. angry that he'd been introduced to this life so young in the first place. that they couldn't all just give him his time and space to figure out who he was without comparing him to bruce wayne. but he'd also felt a little angry at himself too.
bruce was fired as robin and now goes by cardinal.
now, he attends the school. ordered to join their villain rehabilitation program.
