For people who enjoy the Racetrack as Robin AU,(Ā @jitterbug-mai and @happyotpplease Iām looking at you.) :)
The following is a file compiled by Batman about the individual Racetrack Higgins, somethings have been left out for the sake of length or are in editing. Possible trigger warning for just being a vigilante in general:
-------------
Batcomputer file #07429: Born of fire and water
Vital statistics:
Subject:
Racetrack Higgins
Real Name: [REDACTED] Higgins
Other Aliases: Tyler Wayne, Robin (past), Orphan (past), Nightwalker (current).
Zeta-tub Designation: A47
Species: Human. Caucasian with Italian and Irish ancestry.
Physical Description:
Gender: Male
Hair color: Blond. Black as Tyler.Ā Ā
Eye color: Blue
Description:
Racetrack is just under average height and has a lean, well-toned build from years of training. His eyes are an electric blue and his hair is light blond curls though when he goes out as Tyler Wayne he dyes it black. When I originally met Racetrack, he was underweight and skinny due to not having enough food to eat while living on the streets; he had limited muscle strength and looked like he had been in his fair share of fights. Nowadays heās gained weight and muscles and might be just as tall as me one day, but for now, every time I look at him Iāll still see that young boy with a black eye and a toothy smile.Ā
Personality: [Race is a very gummy-like person - Stephanie. No -Bruce] Usually when other heroes, villains too, meet Racetrack he gives off an air of being childish, snarky, and annoying, most likely to get on their nerves. While I admit he acts like this from time to time, it is hardly the only thing to his personality. The reason I think most people see Racetrack this way is because compared to the rest of the family he is rather jovial and silly usually cracking jokes and keeping the mood light. This doesnāt prevent Racetrack from taking on a more serious and focused attitude towards the circumstances at hand though he still has a long way to go to be completely mature. Whatās more is that while you wouldnāt think from his cheery mood that he could become angry or pull off intimidating, but that would be the wrong assumption as I have personally had to pull him off of a man that had insulted Stephanie. <p> Racetrack is also a very determined individual with the right types of know-how to back him up and paired with his never-ending loyalty he is a force to be reckoned with. Another thing that aids him is his friendliness and ability to listen, often being the one many of my kids turn to for comfort. The last side of him I would like to mention is his tactical side that he perfected over hours of playing board and card games that require the tactical eye. He would make a good, even great leader if he ever decided to get out of the house and start his own team. For now, he is content with simple team-ups. Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā

Equipment/Abilities/Powers:
Powers:
N/A. Racetrack possesses no known superhuman powers or meta-human gene.
Equipment:
Believe it or not Racetrack designed his own main weapon. Based on a Balisword and the collapsible feature of Timās bo staff Racetrackās weapon is what he likes to call enknives or foldables. These knives possess the ability to slide in and out of their hilt with ease and lock into place acting either as escrima sticks or knives. Their length is 13 inches sheathed and 22 inches unsheathed, they sit inside holsters on Racetrackās thighs. The inventory of Racetrackās utility belt includes batarangs, smoke bombs, a grappling hook, earplugs, gas capsules, gas mask, rebreather, small First-Aid Kit, ultrasonic bat-beacon/batcall, hand-cuffs, a Ā slotted screwdriver, bat-tracers, bat bombs, bat-bolas, bat-blow darts, evidence bags, EMP device, mini drones, and bat listening device. Other devices Racetrack has but are not kept in his utility belt include matches, a comm-link, lock picks, and a flashlight. Ā
Abilities:
While training to become Robin or another hero under my guidance, my mentees enhance their abilities in speed, endurance, agility, strength, stealth, and reflexes to the point of almost peak human capability, Racetrack is no exception having trained to the point of being at or just over average in all five categories other than strength. Nevertheless, I have to add a note here about his speed: Racetrack may only have a slightly above average speed but he has spent years perfecting the art of running so while you think you might be able to beat him in a sprint you can not, so for the sake of your ego do not challenge him to a foot race. Moving on, Racetrack is strong enough to easily carry one other human his own weight and punch a full-grown man out in one take, so it is easy to say Racetrack is stronger than your average adult which helps to put his martial arts training to good use. Racetrackās fighting style is very much based around being close up, as his weapon requires this, though through the years Dick has taught him many acrobatic skills, and alongside Damian teaching him sword fighting they have made Racetrack all the more deadly.
[He has also developed a habit of kicking his opponent, so in combat training protect the nuts -Jason. ā¦Yes.]
As with most of my family, he has developed the skill of Multilingualism, being able to speak a total of nine languages, fully he knows English, Italian, Irish and Arabic. Next down the line, or the ones he knows just not as well are Spanish, and Mandarin. Lastly, are the ones he only knows limited conversational which are German, Russian and French. He says heās planning on learning Polish next. In our family, it is also very common to pick up ASL which he did while taking dance classes with Cassandra. This takes me to my next point, and while Racetrack stopped learning dance a long time ago, he is still skilled in the art. Other abilities Racetrack had to learn and pick up from his years training under me are a genius-level intellect that makes him a master tactician, strategic planner, and able detective and hacker, so while he might not be on Tim or Barbaraās level he can still keep up with most of the family. Having a job at Wayne Tech also means he is a computer technician and mathematician, now I know most kids at Racetracksā age hate math with a seething passion but much to Theaās disbelief he actually enjoys math being fairly good at the subject. As per requirement with both me and Gotham Academy Racetrack is also skilled in the subject of literature being familiar with works of literature and many myths such as Sun Tzu's The Art of War, William Shakespeareās Hamlet, and the Greek myth of Orpheus, to name a few. I do have a feeling that this is mostly Jasonās fault as Racetrack was not that into literature when we first met, but slowly he grew to enjoy it. As required to properly use a Batarang one must develop marksman abilities which Racetrack has done being able to cleanly throw Batarangs and use a firearm. The remaining training Racetrack had to go through as Robin was espionage, and escapology which he is adequate at though being so busy learning other skills these are his weakest. <p> After hours of spending time in the game room with the others, Racetrack has taught himself how to be an expert card, and board game player being able to shuffle cards rapidly and beat me in a simple game of Slapjack. While growing up on the streets Racetrack picked up the ability to play the Harmonica with ease, and the skill of sleight of hand. With the help of Alfred, Racetrack is also an average cook knowing a few recipes and not being banned from the kitchen. After much begging from most of my kids, I am being forced to add this but Racetrackās imitation of my Batman voice sounds strangely like Alex Brightmanās Beetlejuice voice.
Vehicles:
Motorbike, and Batglider. The motorbike is called the Night Bike and is equipped with tracking, GPS, camouflage, bulletproof window, Auto-pilot, and has wheels built for all types of terrain. The Batglider is a black-colored glider used to stay in the air for long periods of time allowing the user to patrol in the air. Ā
Robin Suit: Racetrackās Robin suit has a red torso with green leggings: the pelvis area has heating tech for the winter, and he has black boots. A bright yellow cape accompanies this along with green gauntlet gloves that cover his hands and forearms, a black utility belt, and a black domino mask. On his left pectoral is a Robin symbol identical to the one on Stephanieās Robin suit. This suit was built to be flexible yet durable. It can withstand a direct bullet shot at the chest but will still provide Racetrack with much mobility. I added elbow and knee pads after Racetrackās second patrol. <p> The gauntlets contain a Holographic computer including TRS connector cables and a USB port. Racetrackās domino mask has similar functions as the nano-tech contact lenses, meaning the domino mask can detect heartbeats, show infrared, and provide the wearer with X-ray. It has a sample analyzer, subject identifier, visual recorder, and speech recognition software. When captured on camera it will distort the user's face and provide the wearer with an optical User Interface.
Nightwalker Suit:
Racetrackās Nightwalker suit has a darker aesthetic ditching the bright yellow cape for a hooded black one that is detachable. His torso is now black with red stripes down the sides and his sleeves are full arm length with black on top and red underneath. His symbol is now a yellow bat made of a semi-metallic material. His leggings are black but his boots are now green and equipped with toe spikes to combat ice. His utility belt is now yellow and equipped with Mini drones, and (as per Racetrackās request) neon paint packets. Things that were almost taken directly from the Robin suit design include: the knee pads, the heater in the pelvis area, the gloves, and the domino mask yet the latter two have both been upgraded. The gloves now include a taser technique in the fingertips and the following have been added to Racetrackās domino mask: Telescopic view, Keypad decoder, Vital reader, Language translator, Mini Drone's video feed, and the infrared has been updated to night vision infrared.

Education:
High School Education. Planning on taking college-level courses in Criminology, Culture Studies, and classes needed to earn a degree in Automotive Engineering. Ā Ā Ā
History: [For the sake of length History has been left out, and it is still under editing. I might post it later]
Relationships āAdvanced: [For the sake of length Relationships/Advanced has been left out, and it is still under editing. I will probably post about this later]
Weakness: Racetrack is only human. He is vulnerable to sickness, age, cold, heat, chemicals, regular weapons, magical attacks, mental attacks, poisons, trauma, injuries, he needs air to breathe, and all other human weaknesses so to defeat him all youād need to do is overpower him, distract him or put him in a situation he wouldnāt be able to get out of.
Contingency Plan: [As Added And Later Deleted By Tim] The only reason Racetrack is on this list is because 1) I donāt trust him, 2) heās bonding with Damian, and 3) he doesnāt need us he never did. Taking on Racetrack face-to-face would be dumb, I have more brains and training on him but he has more streets smarts and would stoup to levels I wouldnāt. Racetrack isnāt immune to Scarecrow toxin so my plan to take him out would be to douse him with a blast of Fear Toxin made to cause fear breakdowns, basically being doused with this would cause you to be so overcome with fear that you would essentially freeze in fear. After that, I would dispose of him. If no fear toxin was available my plan would become a whole lot more complicated. First off I would have to lure him into a building rigged with EMPs stopping the use of electronics, and then Iād have to fight him one-on-one with earplugs in so he couldnāt use his words to fight back. Using my knowledge of the layout of the building Iād be able to lead Racetrack into a trap and because he isnāt all that great at escapology heād be stuck, meaning Iād beat him. Basically a death-trap. There are other ways to defeat him but these are how I would go about it.

This took way too long and itās not even perfected but I just had to put this out there. I hope you enjoyed it and if you have questions about this by all means ask them.
If youāve reached this point congrats! Also you can breathe okay? You can go get a drink of water, or go outside for some sun. You are valued and people care about you. :)
