* Daxton 'Dax' Chill: Dax could be argued to have the worst home life, what with his father not in the picture and his mother a chronic alcoholic, possibly rivaled with Duke at the time of this story, where he's in social services' care. However, despite that and the most delinquent looking appearance of the bunch, due to his punk rocker choice in style, Dax follows the adage of not judging a book by its cover. He has two sides to him; his more rougher side is the one he shows to most of the world, highlighted by his school problems, both attendance and disciplinary related, and being fight prone. On the other hand, inside, he's probably one of the most virtuous of the group. He is a fervent believer in the PowerOfFriendship, and is very loyal and supportive of those he considers his friends, especially Dre. He'll even becomes the tension-breaker if a situation warrants it. Aside from perhaps Troy, Dax became a Robin for the most altruistic of reasons, and very much admires Batman and everything he stands for. His fighting style is more urban than most of the other Robins, sans maybe Duke at this point in time. Last but not least, despite his general lack of drive for academic pursuits, he's a very obviously passionate individual with regards to his likes, one of them being automotive engineering.

** Dax is a good example of not judging books by their covers. He's a really skilled mechanic despite his youth and lack of drive in his school life, and is very much into motor cross and NASCAR. He plays, albeit badly, and has even been a member of 2 different bands, though his discipline did quite extend enough for him to ''stay'' in those bands, leaving the first and causing the second to disband due to "physical disagreements". Most of all, he's a very naturally altruistic person, who very much believes in the ideals of Batman and the PowerOfFriendship. Of note, though he was paired with Red Hood during ComicBook/RobinWar, he's noted to abstain from the use of guns.
