Profile

From an age younger than he can remember, Roy William Harper, Jr. has faced adversity and tragedy. His father died in a forest fire which led to him being raised on a reservation. After the death of his adoptive father, Roy tackled the streets and became a textbook bad boy. Drinking, drugs and dames du jour! His thievery crossed paths with Oliver Queen and after figuring out the billionaire's secret, Roy became Green Arrow's sidekick: Speedy. Together they fought crime until Roy's addictions became too much to bear. Thrown back to the streets he came from, Roy's life was over until he was given the greatest give in the world.

Reborn as Arsenal, the former sidekick has come full circle. Joining up with a hand of misfit anti-heroes, he fights to make the world a better place for his daughter while making sure to establish himself as a crimefighter in his own right.

AMBITDEXTROUS

Roy is capable of using two hands for everything. Nobody knows if he's right or left handed because he's been using both hands his entire life. Whether it's writing, shooting, driving, typing... whatever it is, Roy's perfectly able to work as well with his left hand as he's able to work with this right.

ARCHERY

Not many people in the world can shoot an arrow like Roy can. His skill in this area is practically perfect, giving him something very special to hold on to. His shooting is, by far, very fast and very accurate. To him, shooting blindly is the same as shooting from point blank range. Cake.

Arrow Anecdote: Green Arrow is the better shot. Arsenal is the faster shot.

ARROWBATICS

Being a superhero means that some things are required. Being able to leap, tumble, flip and twirl is one of those things. One never knows when they'll be forced to do such acrobatics and thus Roy has had to become accustomed to these action moves and maneuvers. His skills are impressive but what really makes this incredible is that he can do all of this things while shooting a bow and arrow.

FREE RUNNING

Roy has spent a large portion of his life running. The combination of his life on the reservation, his life on the streets and his life alongside the Green Arrow has put Roy's parkour and free running talents to the test. He's stellar at traversing various landscapes by using only what's available to run on, flip over, slide along and various other cool looking movement.

HOLISTIC MEDICINE

As a member of the Spokane, Roy has been taught the ways of healing and such by the medicine men there. Considering that he was the unofficial adopted son of one of them Roy has become a master in using plants and things in regards to dealing with wounds or poisons. He's an effective chemist, so to speak, when it comes to this stuff, capable of mixing and matching until he's produced the right product needed.

IMPROVISING

Thanks to his extensive training and expertise in Moo-Gi-Gon, Roy is a master at turning virtually anything into a weapon. He's an expert at throwing things with deadly accuracy thus making him a formidable opponent whenever he's in battle. Anything that Roy can get his hands on can become a dangerous weapon. He's been known to use things from pool cues and balls to silverware to compact discs in both lethal and non-lethal forms. His Moo-Gi-Gon training is to thank for this ability, as it works hand-in-hand with his uncanny ability to be able to hit the bullseye when he needs to. They don't call him Arsenal for nothing.

MOO GI GON

A special martial art that's designed to make those that train in it capable of using anything as a deadly weapon. It's a combination of taking an object and using the objects properties in a forceful manner. When Roy mastered this art he focused on coupling it with his uncanny accuracy and therefore any object becomes a viable weapon in his hands. Especially if it can be thrown or shot.

REZUCATION

Roy Harper was raised on the Spokane Tribe Indian Reservation. Here is where he learned how to read and write, as well as the inner workings of what is right and what is wrong. While he fell under the guardianship of Big Bow, Roy had the teachings of an entire tribe at his disposal. Being taught and raised by an actual village gives Roy a wealth of knowledge that others may not have. He knows a whole lot more than he looks like he does and can recall that information with ease.

STREETWISE

Being a former drug addict tends to lend itself to knowing the streets. During his days living on drugs and alcohol, Roy roamed the streets and found his way into the bad parts. He's learned, from experience, what places to go to, how to act and things of that nature. He knows the "street life", pretty well, having been forced to live on them prior to being recruited by the government. Now, though, Roy continues to be filled with street smarts. It keeps him alive.

THIEF

Roy possesses considerable skill as a thief and a burglar. He's capable of handling pick pocketing and sleight of hand with style and ease. He's a functional thief in that he can and has broken into some of the more extremely well protected locations... including the Arrowcave or the Quiver or whatever Green Arrow called it. He's capable of dealing with security measures of all types from deadbolts to security cameras and drones to even attack dogs and electric fences. Roy could be a career criminal if his heart leaned in that direction.

TRICK SHOOTING

Style and presence are two things that Roy likes to personify. Therefore, it goes without saying that he's capable of pulling off trick shots of all manners. While his best comes from archery, usually involving the shooting of multiple arrows or the redirecting of arrows with other arrows or the ricochet effect, he's also capable of trick shooting with other projectiles and projectile weaponry. Sometimes this is used to show off, but other times it assists in his combat, making him more unpredictable while still being highly effective.

WEAPON DESIGN

Roy has some very specific knowledge when it comes to weapon design and creation. While everything that he designs has the same base model (whether it be a bow or an arrow or a shuriken) he can make subtle differences in each weapon to help it to do what he wants it to do. This is mostly used in terms of his arrows where the slightest difference in weight or shape could determine the angle at which it strikes the target. The limits on his weapon design are mainly a combination of physics and his imagination.

Arrow Anecdote: Did you know that Roy introduced the idea of "Trick Arrows" to Green Arrow when he was Speedy?

CONTACTS

Roy Harper is well connected. He's got friends all over the superhero community and he's also still a well known name on the streets. Either as Roy or as Arsenal, there's a good chance that he can get some people to talk. The cherry on top of all these contacts are Roy's various one night stands. They may or may not want to kill him but they could prove to be useful from time to time. Either with info or a place to crash or even a change of clothes.

LIAN HARPER

Roy's daughter is his everything. She's his reason for being and his reason for doing what he does. She's the reason he left Checkmate. The thought of her is what puts Roy into the zone. She is his heart and the one thing that keeps him from letting himself die. Everything is about his daughter now.

OUTLAWS

Roy Harper/Arsenal is a member of the Outlaws. It's a rag-tag group of badass anti-heroes that kick ass, erase names and don't even have time to chew bubblegum. Of course, this comes with the perks of having people to watch your back and to do completely insane and stupid anti-heroics with.

TEAM ARROW

Roy is a member of Team Arrow for life. There are times when he and Oliver won't speak for months at a time. Where the Team itself is at each other's throats. Where they all wish the others would just never speak to them again. But during life or death situations or when the chips are really down, Team Arrow can count on each other. They fight like cats and dogs but they are family.

THE ARSENAL

Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, has taken his name to heart. While his primary equipment could be considered to be nothing more than an imitation of his former mentor, Green Arrow, Arsenal employs a variety of bows, quivers and arrows. Some of which are built in the traditional sense and others that have been modified for various purposes.

Arsenal employs a variety of "trick" arrows as well. Arrows that he has designed to be used in specific situations. In addition to a variety of "normal" arrows of varying sizes and styles, these specialty arrows can do everything from provide Arsenal with grapples and zip-lines for travel or administer electric shocks or even explode upon impact. There are even rumors that Arsenal has a Brass Knuckle Arrow.

The similarities with Green Arrow stop there, though, as Arsenal also employs a variety of other equipment in his adventures. Throwing discs and boomerangs, stylized 'A' shurikens and various other personalized equipment can be found on his person on a regular basis. Arsenal keeps portable melee weapons on him as well, including batons or fighting sticks. He's almost always armed to the teeth even if he doesn't look it. Arsenal has even been known to use firearms as well.

THE REZ

Sometimes Roy is welcome on the Reservation and sometimes he's not. The Rez, though, is his home and Roy will go to great lengths to fight for it and the people there. Even if that means breaking a few laws and a few skulls to do it.

Weaknesses

BABY MAMA

Roy's Baby Mama is a psychopath. She's an assassin. She's a killer. She's completely bonkers. There's a very good chance that she wants him dead. He should've listened when someone told him that girl was poison.

ENEMIES

Being the sidekick of Green Arrow has given Roy a number of enemies to deal with. Of course, who knows how many of them know his new persona as Arsenal, it's still possible that someone might get the connection due to the arrows being used or something.

FORMER ADDICT

Roy has fully recovered and rehabilitated his heroin addiction. However, the fact that he was ever hooked on the drug in the first place leaves him open to temptation. It takes all of his resolve and willpower, sometimes, seeing as how he's still in the susceptible stages of his recovery, which means relapses (however unlikely) are still possible.

Roy also has some issues with alcohol addiction that he must constantly work towards keeping from taking over his life once again.

LIAN HARPER

Roy's daughter is his entire world. People really shouldn't attempt to get to him through her because that's just messed up. Still, though, there are some psychos that are that messed up and will do just that. Bastards.

OVERCONFIDENCE

Roy's overconfident to the point of being cocky and conceited, which makes this not a good thing at all. This makes Roy think he can take on the world and win. This also causes him to show off from time to time, which means he's more apt to make mistakes. In his nasty line of work he can't afford mistakes. That's how you die.

SECRET IDENTITY

Roy Harper is Arsenal. Finding this out could be devastating to the safety of his daughter and others that do not fly in the same superhero circles.

TEMPER

Roy has a very serious temper. It's a short fuse and once it's been burned, he's going off the deep end. He's got a raging temper that will cause him to act irrationally and wildly. There are only a few things, a few people, that can talk him down from his hotheaded raging.
