Personality
Roy Harper has a large tendency to be a bit too outgoing and for that matter laid back. They're the most evident parts of his personality and at the same time his biggest flaws. Never one to not open his mouth he finds himself putting his foot in it quite often and with disatourous results. Like most occurrances in his life though Roy takes such occasions in stride still approaching everything with his laid back ease and has a joke ready for every occasion. He is far from being the jokester of any group though. This of course doesn't mean he doesn't have a serious side at all.
All of this notably goes out the window though when it comes to his daughter. In the case of Lian his tendency to kid around is still there but Roy develops a very serious side. To put it metaphorical he's like a kid lifting a car off their grandparent or vice versa. Everything Roy wasn't five seconds ago he is when it comes to his daughter. Organized, responisble, caring, and nuturing he tries to be everything he isn't and everything the Green Arrow wasn't for him at certain times in his life.

Old Ghosts
History
Roy Harper's life has been nothing short of a roller coaster ride. Orphaned twice once by the death of his father and then by the death of the Indian who adopted him, Brave Bow; Roy found his first mark of stability when he was adopted by Oliver Queen. Queen motives were simple ones seeing as he had already taken the boy under his wing as his protege for his archery skills .For a time he lived comfortably with Green Arrow aiding him in his quests and enjoying the life of luxury but this would only be a small calm in the storm that was Roy Harper's life.
As his teenage years approached Speedy would enjoy great sucess as Queen's side kick success that lead to an offer to join the orginial Teen Titans. So while Green Arrow traveled with Green Lantern, Roy teamed up with Robin, Kidflash, Aqualad, and Wonder girl fighting crime with them in the Arrow's absence. A brief relationship with Wonder girl and some inner team frictions between Robin and Kid Flash lead to the break up of the group which Roy ultimately took hard. Returning to an empty home with Green Arrow still gone Roy had nothing but time and money. His usual social behavior though did not bode well with this and lead to something that he would be associated with for the rest of his life.
After the break up of the Teen Titans Roy Harper simply vanished. Speedy was no longer fighting criminals and some assumed him dead. Eventually curiosity got the best of one of his former teammates and Wally West came to check up on the boy who had been his best friend. While Kid Flash would find him first he would not be the helping hand that Roy needed and it wasn't until Oliver Queen returned that Roy was forced to face his heroine addiction. In the absence of Green Arrow Roy due to the neglect, lonliness, and boredom delved into his wild side and began to experiment with Heroine. His experimentation turned into full time use and he was kicked to the curb by good old Ollie.
Left homeless and alone once again Roy lived on the streets for a short time before he was found by the Green Lantern. Turning him over to the Black Canary for care Roy recovered and kicked the addiction. Roy though would not return for the Green Arrow's approval or even continue under the name of Speedy. Cutting ties with his old past Roy dawned a new costume and for that matter a new name. Roy Harper was no longer Speedy but Arsenal. Roy would once again join the Teen Titans but only for a brief period. Leading the team with Night Wing he would leave after tensions once again mounted. Roy would go on to work for the government doing an undercover mission which would inevitably complicate his life further. While working for Checkmate Roy went undercover to gain the trust of Chesire so he could turn her over. Like most things in Roy's life though this did not go according to plan and he fell in love with Cheshire. Some intimacy and one botched mission later Roy is now a single father.
Roy would go on to break his government ties helping the Teen Titans, making amends with Ollie before his death in a plane crash, and ward off Vandal Savage as he tried to harvest his and Lian's organs to prolong his life as they were his decedents. From all this though would come Roy starting his own super group called The Outsiders. His final recruit would be the person who helped lead the team with him and one of his oldest friends Nightwing. During this time Roy would sustain six bullet wounds to his chest from Brother Blood sidelining him for months. Shortly after his return though Lian is captured when they take on Tanner who kills her baby sitter and then brands Lian. In the end Roy and the rest of the Outsiders track down Tanner and prevent him from flying Lian and the rest of the children out of New York. After the events of Infinite Crisis and their face off in Metropolis with The Society The Outsiders disband feeling they are making little effect on the world.
Shortly after the return of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, Roy is invited to join their reformation of the Justice League. Accepting the invitation Roy dons the Red Arrow name after Hal refers to him as thus during one of his first missions. The costume comes afterward as a rite of passage and more so him taking up the "family name" as he fights along side the now resurrected Oliver Queen. Like Queen, Roy heavily opposes the registration act and has come into his own leading the crowd with Ollie, Batman, and Captain Marvel.

Yeah well at least I know I'd pick Superman as a running buddy instead of my bullet-riddled ass.

RP Sample:
(Roy as Arsenal)
Great. Just super. The woman whoever the hell she was thought it'd be a fabulous idea at the moment not to run. Like they were in some perverse alternate universe where her on the ground being a completely useless lump was some how going to be useful and bring this asshole down. It was as is she wanted to get shot. Of course that was some people's thing and really this was Gotham so he shouldn't be surprised if she was that way but some how Roy really doubted that she was all that into it. Did she think that he was just going to send this guy to the curb and that'd be that? Yeah fat chance if Roy was lucky he'd win this one. He had no intel on the guy and didn't know the first thing about his fighting style. Sure he was a Bats imitator but that didn't mean that he magically knew everything Bats did as far as hand to hand. If anything this chump would be lucky if he knew half the things Bats did, the problem with that though was Roy didn't know what half he knew. More importantly he wasn't exactly in peak physical condition at the moment.
Sure it had turned into an after thought but his ribs were still bruised from that gang run in when he was with that Church woman. It wasn't like most people thought were you just went to sleep and stuff like this was magically healed over night. Hell no, Roy was still hurting and he'd be stupid to be overconfident about taking this guy especially since he knew nothing about him. He didn't seem like the rest of the impostors that popped up at least they weren't stupid enough to think they were doing Bats a service by shooting someone at point blank range. Those nimrods got it, Roy just seemed to have the bad luck of running into the one nimrod who didn't get it. Well the one nimrod who didn't get it and the woman who didn't know how to fucking turn tail and run when she should. Sure any other day Roy might have been more then happy to play knight in shining armor but it wasn't any other day and Roy was hurting meaning that playing the knight got shelved.
This would just simply be do his best survival act. At this point he had lost all possible elements of surprise and his best bet was to knock this joker on his ass long enough so that he could grab the girl and high tail it. It wasn't as if she was going to do it herself so that meant that Roy had to do it for her. While it wasn't exactly the preferred method of things for him and under normal circumstances he would have wanted to put this creep in a condition that would lay him up for a few weeks. These weren't normal circumstances though and with far too many variables for his liking Roy prepared for the worst. Not that really this situation even on a normal night could have been a good one but at least then it would have been better then now. Maybe he'd actually had run into a woman who know how to run the hell away from danger instead of lay there and watch it unfold. Only in the world of Roy Harper could anyone manage to do such a thing, Christ Bats didn't have to put up with this shit, so why did he?
Sighing Roy stared intently at the wannabe Bats, who the more he looked at him looked like a complete tool, and listened to his words. "Has anyone ever told you how annoying your voice is? I mean really what you'd dig that thing out of the bottom of the box at a police yard sale and slap it on the inside of your mask with some duck tape because that's the general gist I'm getting from the way you sound." Roy smirked knowing full well the comment could very well cost him later but not really caring all the while. The guy sounded like a tool to say the least and Roy simply grimaced at the rest of his words. "I'm going to be honest I don't care who you are or what you think you're doing to Miss. Falcone here. This is Bats town you play by his rules. You don't follow you go in with the rest of the crazies in this town into Arkham. Oh and you aren't after the same thing he's after justice you've got your own little vendetta. Do us all a favor and don't confuse them."
Roy really did despise idiots like this one and wanted nothing more then to pound his head in. On any other night he would have been more then pleased to give way to that impulse and simply go at this idiot but once again it wasn't any other night. "You've got a choice, you high tail it out of here and I don't take you in or we do this the hard way. Either way you lose so unless that whole pain and suffering thing gets you off, well actually it seems like it does so never mind." Roy was now being nothing more then a grade A asshole but this chump had earned it. Roy got enough crap on a daily basis doing his normal job even if he did have that neat little stamp that said government funded on him. Well government funded by outside organizations that he didn't know the name of but that didn't really matter. They put a roof over his and Lian's head and he did what he'd been raised by Ollie to do. Not suck and handle idiots like this.
