1. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use? Richard John Grayson, but I go by Dick.
2. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it? Dick, and I guess my parents liked it and just decided to go with it. My mom used to call me Robin, and sometimes Roy or someone some that part of my life calls me Rob.
3. What do you look like? (Include height, weight, hair, eyes, skin, apparent age, and distinguishing features) I'm about 5'10",

7. When's the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now? Tim lives right down the hall from me on the Barge, so, that about covers it.
