Origin:

Like the vast majority of his fellow G.I. Joes, Robbie is but a normal human, lacking super-human abilities of any stripe. However, he seems blessed with exceptional all-around ability, which he has used to excel in his military career - and which he is likely to use in the pursuit of more political prowess in the future!

Known Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

Grenade: in the event that his submachine gun just isn't enough to remove an obstacle from his path, Robbie carries one fragmentary grenade on him in the field. He can use this grenade to inflict Remarkable (30) Edged Attack damage to his target and every other uncovered target in the area of detonation.

Helmet: this neon green helmet, complete with the G.I. Joe logo, has actual combat benefit in addition to being incredibly conspicuous. It provides Robbie Good (10) protection from physical attacks that strike him in the head, although it may attract more attention than it's worth.

Kevlar Vest: supplementing the protection his helmet gives him, Robbie also wears an impressively neon green vest made from bullet resistant materials. This vest provides protection similar to the helmet, that being Good (10) resistance to physical attacks that strike him in the torso. If conspicuously so.

Knife: kept in a sheath on his right hip when not in use, this handy blade is useful for cutting through anything - or anyone - that gets in Robbie's way on the job! Made from Incredible (40) m.s. metals, this blade can be used to cut through items of like m.s., or to inflict Edged Attack damage in melee.

Submachine Gun: his primary armament in battle, this light weapon helps Robbie perform his 'fast attack specialist' duties. It can be fired to inflict Typical (6) damage in a single shot, or Good (10) Shooting damage in a semi-auto spread. Robbie carries many, many ammo clips for this weapon.

Quirks:

(none)

Talents:

Aerial Combat: one of the many requirements for entry in the Army's fast attack maneuvers school was an Airborne qualification. As such, Robbie had to learn how to use the air to his advantage in combat situations - even if doing so in a generally downward direction. He makes Fighting FEATs in the air at +1 CS.

Guns: a part of his basic military training, Robbie has been well trained in the use of most conventional firearms. Whether using a standard, semi-automatic or fully automatic rifle or pistol, or even curious weapons like shotguns, Robby may do so as though his Agility was +1 CS in rank.

Languages / English (and two others): another requirement of the Army's fast attack maneuvers school is fluency in three different languages. Rising to the challenge, Robbie has indeed mastered two additional tongues to supplement his native English, though which languages these are have yet to be revealed.

Leadership: a by-product of his West Point education, Robbie has learned the ins and outs of leadership ability, being able to lead a squad of fighting men into battle when necessary. If he leads a group that shares a Karma pool with him, said pool may add 50 points to its total while he's running the show.

Martial Arts type B: another facet of his basic Army training, this talent describes Robbie's ability to hold his own even when unarmed. Having been educated in the fine art of being a living weapon, Robbie may attempt any unarmed fighting maneuver as though his Fighting score was +1 CS in rank.

Military / United States: the source of all his many and varied skills, this talent serves as a fine 'origin' of sorts for Robbie (aside from his exceptional prowess in most areas in general). This talent grants Robbie an instinctual understanding of military protocols and procedures, along with the benefits of rank.

Contacts:

Though he's a West Point graduate, Robbie is nonetheless a member of the G.I. Joe team, and as such can rely on the group for help in a pinch should he need it - even if he's not as well-liked as Captain Grid-Iron. Despite his schooling, you see, the team looks after their own, because they all know what they're up against.

Costume:

When in action with the G.I. Joe team, Robbie wears a pair of blue jeans, a black T-shirt beneath a neon green Kevlar vest, a neon green helmet with the G.I. Joe logo on it, black boots, orange knee pads, orange arm straps, blue wrist bands, a silver chain link belt, and a gray sheath for his knife.

Personality:

Robbie is the quintessential go-getter. The man is continually working to improve himself and his performance, both physically and mentally. His ultimate goal for doing so is unknown, but Robbie burns with an internal fire rarely seen (or experienced!) by most people, and as a result they can't help but be impressed by him.

Story:

Unlike a large number of West Point graduates, Robbie didn't get his position as a matter of favor or political appointment - he got there the hard way, by enlisting in the Army right out of high school. His single-minded dedication to personal improvement got him into the Point, at which point he impressed everyone there.

For instance, he completed the exhausting ten week Cadet Summer Orientation in but five weeks, and went on to excel in every aspect of the Point's curriculum. For a short period of time afterward, it is unknown just what Robbie was up to, but in the end he was recognized for his efforts by receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor.

This, in addition to his Airborne qualification and intense language studies, earned Robbie a place in the Army's new school for fast attack maneuvers. The goal of this school is to produce highly motivated individuals with advanced technical skills for light ordnance assault deep in enemy territory.

Considering his history, you can imagine that Robbie graduated at the very top of his class. This collection of skills and ability naturally highlighted Robbie as a candidate for the most exclusive 'club' in all the United States Armed Forces: the G.I. Joe team! Seeing this as a powerful stepping stone, Robbie gladly joined the team.

As is his time before entering the fast maneuvers school, Robbie's actions with the G.I. Joe team are something of a mystery. He mainly participated in highly classified 'special missions' for the team - but then that's what he was trained for since day one. He remained with the team until it was disbanded in 1994.

Though the group was reinstated a scant few years later, the threat of Cobra and other terrorist organizations not as quashed as the Joint Chiefs had previously thought, Robbie did not rejoin the team as did many of its other veterans. Again descending into mystery, what Robbie has done since has yet to be revealed.

However, it's likely he's been continually improving himself since leaving the G.I. Joe team. After all, someone with his ability, qualifications and ambitions may wind up running things in the Pentagon in time. And if that isn't enough, he may find himself a proper career in Presidential politics...!
