Name: Timothy Jackson Drake
Notable Aliases: Alvin Draper, Tim Fisher, Robin III, Red Robin, Blackbird, DRAAAAAAAAAKE,
Age: 17-19 (depending on the timeline)
Universe: Honey's Sweeter (a canon fusion of DCU pre-reboot and Uncharted)
Fluent In: English, Japanese, Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, and Latin

AU In a Nutshell: Born the youngest of three to Nate Drake & Elena Fisher, Tim had a happy (if somewhat chaotic) childhood with loving parents and two older siblings, Russell Christopher and Victoria Renee. One Halloween, Tim dresses up as Robin – and becomes Robin III after accidentally proving his mettle. His parents, however, were less than pleased.

Luckily for Tim, his godparents Tom Bronson (Wildcat III) and Sharpay Evans defended Bruce's choice and helped Tim continue his vigilante work. Elena remained unconvinced of her son's life choices, however– and after Bruce mysteriously vanishes and/or is presumed dead, the Drake-Fishers move to Atlanta, where Tim watches over the city as Blackbird. It's not the life he expected for himself, but it's a fulfilling one– even if most of his villains are his sister's exes.

Notes:

Nate & Elena lived in Gotham as a budding novelist and reporter for Gotham News Network, respectively. They attended a lot of the same socialite events as Bruce and traveled in the same social circles; however, they were a good decade older than Bruce, so they weren't close.
Tim's godfather, however, was an old college friend of Bruce's– and Bruce's boxing teacher, whenever Ted Grant wasn't available. Tim used to spend time with Bruce and Dick through Tom, who would drag Tim along with them.
One time, Tim insisted that Bruce couldn't leave the house unless he hugged Dick goodbye. If pressed, he insists he has no recollection of such an incident.
(He remembers. He will also never, ever admit that he does, or risk further embarrassment to himself.)
Tim is a giant Momma's boy – Elena's word is law, and woe be to anyone who disrespects her. He previously served as Elena's cameraman on several family vacations (as well as on those trips where normal cameramen wouldn't make it out alive) and her proofreader whenever she needs it.
That said, there's no denying the love Tim has for his father. He's still the baby of the Drakes, and Nate spoils him rotten.
Tim's older siblings are Russell Yunus Drake, who is eight years older than him, and Victoria Renee Fisher (regrownroots), who is four years older. Tim enjoys being the youngest, and is noticeably more spoiled compared to Russ and Tori.
Tim's hero complex is twofold– he heavily admires Russell as much as he admires Dick Grayson, and wants to be someone that both men can be proud of.
His relationship with Tori is peak #sibling. He respects her, but finds her exasperating sometimes because she's just as stubborn as he is.
The three Drakes in a nutshell: responsible (Russ), spontaneous (Tori), and paranoid (Tim).
Tim has been Robin since he was ~12 years old. He was a big Batman fan as a child, and also managed to put together Dick's secret identity after one too many nights at Bruce's home.
Most of his canon exploits as Robin have remained the same; however, his canon run as Red Robin has changed– Tim moved to Atlanta for his senior year of high school, and thus took on a smaller role compared to the other Bats.
Re: his family history, Tim has not disclosed his heritage to his friends (including Kon and Bart). He's desperate enough to compartmentalize Tim Drake's and Robin's lives separate that he's actually wiped every trace of Nate's criminal past clean (on Batman's and Oracle's databases, anyhow). While records still remain, Tim distanced Nate Drake the treasure hunter from Nate Drake, Tim's dad, and remains firm that those two are not the same person.
The jury's still out on whether Dick knows, but Bruce more than certainly knows, and it's been the cause of the occasional scuffle here and there.
Tim lies all the time (a trait not entirely changed from canon). He's so used to little white lies that sometimes, he finds it hard to tell the difference between the truth and falsehoods.
He was much more sympathetic to both Steph and Cass in his world, if that's even possible. He knows what it's like to have parents with shady pasts, even if his dad atoned for it, and he gets Steph better than he did in canon (to a certain extent).
Knows way too much about guns for an ordinary civilian, let alone a Bat. He has an open carry license in both NJ and GA, and is an expert marksman. He prefers a bo staff and his fists to a gun, but when push comes to shove, he'll use a gun if given the opportunity.
Most definitely a nerd. His parents encouraged his hobbies, even if they weren't around too often when he got older, so he still plays WoW and video games whenever he gets the chance. If he's not around a computer, he's downloaded games on his phone and iPad, so he'll sneak attempts to master a new level or unlock a sidequest in-between bouts.
Plays D&D with his godfather Tom, as well as his godbrother Darren Bronson. D&D nights have become family bonding nights– and Tim makes a pretty good DM when he's willing and able.
Like his dad, Tim's skilled at puzzle-solving and investigations. Unlike his dad, Tim's much more rational and doesn't lose his cool nearly as easily as his dad would in similar situations.
Although Tim doesn't quite get the obsession with Sir Francis Drake, he tries for his father's sake.
