Robin Hood is an honest, loyal man that likes to live by his code. Many may thing that his code is not fitting to a man like Robin, but Robin just likes to help those in need, even if it means stealing from the rich to give to the poor. In his adventures, Robin is looking to find friends, or enemies, whether it's back home in the Enchanted Forest or in the new realm he finds himself in - Storybrooke.
Anyone that would like to make his presence known in Robin's path, feel free to say something and I'm sure we'll find each other in our own adventures.
PS: Cannon or AU accepted.

Once more, Robin almost laughs, but not out of mockery for the man standing on the other side of the bar, but because it's the first time that he has ever heard such names. Thinking back, he has never heard of drinks like that back in the Forest, but then again, Hook did say it was his especiality drinks.
Robin takes a look at the bottles behind Captain Hook, trying to figure out just what would be in the drinks that the man has suggested, but there's no such thing as a hint. Robin focuses again on the smiling face of Hook, scratching his chin for a moment.
“I have to tell you, I haven't heard of such names before, so I wouldn't know what to pick.” He shifts himself on the seat, before placing his hand back down on the bar and leaning himself forward a little. “Tell ya' what, Captain, surprise me. I'm a simple man, everything is still new to me. My knowledge of drinks go from the ales I drank in the taverns back at home and this wisky thing we have in this land.”
And Robin is not lying. Even back in New York, he was so emerged in having a brand new start with his family, that he didn't even think about spending his time sitting in bars, drinking his sorrows away after losing yet another love of his life. So even if such drinks existed outside Storybrooke – which he doubts that would be the case – Robin wouldn't have the chance of knowing them.

When Robin saw Marian walk through the doors of Granny's Diner, he just knew that his life had done a completely 180 degree turn. His wife was dead and he had fallen in love with Regina, but everything changed when Captain Hook and Emma Swan brought his wife back, apparently having saved her before her death – perhaps he could stop blaming himself for putting his wife in danger while on the job.
And then he had to leave Storybrooke, maybe forever, just after Marian had given him the chance to either choose a life with his family, or a life with his new happy ending. Handling both wouldn't be easy, but Robin knew he could do it. So while his life took a big turn months ago when Marian walked through that door... nothing had prepared Robin for what would happen the moment Regina walked through his house's door in New York.
Now, Robin is back in Storybrooke with his son, the woman he loves... and a pregnant Zelena. Robin still can't wrap his head about what happened and he's in dire need of a distraction. Regina is running her errands, no doubt looking for the Author to try and fix the situation – she told him she would take care of Zelena. Roland, his son, is with one of his Merry Men, sound asleep after Robin tucked him in. Poor boy had his memories wiped – again, thanks to Regina for dealing with the situation. He doesn't know his mother came back, he doesn't even know that his father has impregnated another woman, who was glamoured as his deceased mother.
It came to no shock to him to see that he's now standing in front of the bar's doors and after taking a deep breath, Robin walks in. If that's a distraction that Robin is looking for, a drink – or two – will surely do the trick. Robin walks up to the bar and takes a seat on the stool, watching from the corner of his eye as Killian Jones, better known to him as Captain Hook, approaches him. Robin almost wants to laugh as Hook talks about a nice strong drink. Robin folds his hands on top of the counter and nods his head slowly.
“Right you are, Captain.” Robin doesn't know much about the man, but if there's something he knows about Captain Hook, it's the man's love for any alcoholic beaverage. “Perhaps it's not the best of ideas, but considering what's happened, I won't say no to the strongest drink you have.”
Robin does let out a little crooked smirk, not to hide his feelings, but to perhaps ease into a conversation with the pirate.

He has short light brown hair, fierce bright blue eyes, a little scruffy beard on his face and the tattoo of a lion on his arm.

.:Personality:. Robin Hood lives by a code, and as said so by himself, what kind of man would he be if he didn't have one? He follows this standard, which is to steal only from the rich to give to the poor and encourages his Merry Men to do the same thing. He gives it to those that need it the most, never taking anything to himself. He's selfless, loyal and protective. He'll go out of his way to help anyone in need and would do anything for his son Roland, especially after his mother Marian, died. This code he lives by can cause many heartache, including to himself, but that's the kind of live Robin lives.
.:Strengths:. Stealing. Leadership. His ability to go unnoticed.

| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. Sherwood Forest
.:Family:. Roland (son), Unborn Child (son/daughter) Marian (wife – deceased), The Merry Men
.:Occupation:. The Resident Outlaw
.:History:. Robin Hood is an Outlaw. He was a common thief and it wasn't until he stole a horse from a poor man (for his own needs) that he saw the error of his ways and decided to reform. That was, of course, after he met his future wife, Marian, who was pointing an arrow at him and told Robin that that horse meant to a lot to her and her family. Robin, seeing the error of his ways, gives her family the horse, as well as his own two horses. It wasn't long until Robin fell in love and married her. Once happily married, the couple opens a tavern but it's quickly becoming troublesome, as the Sheriff of Nottingham demands payment, or Robin goes to jail – ultimately closing their business.
So Robin makes the decision of trying to find a solution, which comes to him in the form of Rumplestiltskin. The Dark One tells Robin that he will clear his taxes if he finds him the Elixir of the Hounded Heart. Robin agrees and takes a portal to Oz, where he meets yet another thief, Will, freeing him from the clutches of a guard as the portal falls on them. Will agrees to keep quiet about Robin's intentions if he brings him a little of the potion as well, to mend his broken heart. Robin sneaks into Zelena's castle and starts filling up to vials, only to be surprised by the Wicked Witch, causing him to break one of the vials. Not knowing that guards aren't supposed to speak to the witch, Robin salutes her. Zelena demands to know why Robin is stealing from her and swiftly, Robin picks up an enchanted bow that never seems to miss it's target. Zelena splits herself into three different images, urging Robin to make the right decision. Moments later, as Zelena attempts to throw a fireball at him, Robin hits a steam engine with the arrow and escapes the room.
Later he finds Will and lets him know that his mission was unsuccessful and he plans on dealing with Rumplestiltskin once he's back in his land. After a hug, Robin slips the unbroken vial into Will's pocket after learning that Will is dealing with the loss of his sister and wanted to use the potion to ease the pain. Back in his land, Robin defies the Sheriff and steals his gold, giving it back to the poor. And that's the moment Robin names himself Robin Hood and shows his wife the clover he stole from Oz, to change his appearance in order to stay hidden from the Dark One.
When Marian becomes pregnant and falls deathly ill, Robin Hood decides to steal from none other than Rumplestiltskin himself. Using the clover that glamours his appearance, Robin tries to sneak into The Dark One's castle but his caught by Rumple. Robin uses his enchanted bow to fire right at Rumplestiltskin, not missing the target. But instead of leaving triumphantly, Robin learns that The Dark One can't be killed and gets imprisoned and tortured. Later, Rumple's servant, Belle, feels sorry for Robin and sets him free. Once he finds his wife Marian, he uses the healing wand he stole from the castle on her, healing her right from her deathbed. Robin leads a very pregnant Marian away from a stray arrow, shot by Rumplestiltskin and the couple lives happily ever after...
Or so he thought. As everyone comes to know, all magic comes with a price and a few years after giving birth to his son Roland, Marian dies, only for Robin to blame himself for it. Once the first curse was broken, Robin and his son take up residence in Rumple's abandoned castle, where he finds his enchanted bow once again. Later it is almost used as Mulan and Neal arrive at the castle. Neal introduces himself as Baelfire, the Dark One's son and Robin believes him, claiming that no one would ever say that unless it were true. After looking around, Neal finds a hidden door – which surprises Robin, as he has never seen such magic before and he tried to wield the walking stick Neal just used to uncover the door, only nothing happened. Upon learning that Emma and Neal's son were in the Neverland, Robin agrees to help Neal get there by having his son Roland call for the Shadow, so Neal can travel to another realm. After the ordeal is over, Neal is riding with the shadow and his son his safe once more, Robin offers Mulan a spot with his Merry Man. She declines, claiming she has something else she needs to do, but later returns and takes up his offer.
When Regina and the folks from Storybrooke return to the Enchanted Forest, Robin and a couple of his Merry Man defend them against a flying monkey, saving Queen Regina and Snow White from it's attack. Later, Robin suggests that the Queen and her people can take up residence in Sherwood, until Regina can remove the intruder from her castle. The first time Robin actually noticed Regina was when she saved his son from the flying monkey, turning it into a stuffed toy and gifting it to the boy. Later on, Robin insists on accompanying Regina to her castle, where she can bring the shields down, in order to repay her for saving his son's life earlier. Upon reaching the castle, Robin learns about Regina's son, Henry, and that she's planning on using a Sleeping Curse on herself which can only be broken when her true love – her son – breaks it. Robin tries to stop her but she freezes him and walks off. Moments later Robin is unfrozen and Regina comes back, having had a change of heart as she wants to deal with the Wicked Witch first.
Much later, Robin helps Regina, Snow White and Prince Charming to break into the castle – getting yelled at by Regina in the process as he nearly killed her with an explosion – and once inside, they learn that Zelena's only weakness is white magic, the kind that Emma has. This causes Snow White to cast yet another curse so they can reach their daughter, but before it takes place, Zelena drops a potion that erases everyone's memories of the past year, including Robin's and his son's as they make the trip to Storybrooke this time around.

Love can be a strange thing and Robin Hood is no stranger to it's feelings. He once thought that he was deeply, madly in love with the woman that gave birth to his child. Marian captured his heart, even when she had that pointy arrow aimed at his head. But then he met her... Regina had quite the attitude, but even so, he knew there was something else behind the walls she kept up.
Even now, Robin isn't sure what to think. The twigs snap underneath his feet as he walks through the forest of Storybrooke. He has always enjoyed the scenary, reminds him of home. During his time in New York with his... no, that was not his wife – that was Regina's sister, thristing for revenge. But he missed it... he missed it all. He missed the forest, he missed Storybroke – home away from home. But most of all, he missed Regina. But now, with the evil Author gone and despite the dangers that lay ahead of them, Robin feels like everything will be alright. All they have to do is save Emma the same way she saved his Regina from becoming The Dark One and all will be well.
But what of Roland? How can he explain to his son that he's going to have a baby brother or sister to take care of in a few months? How can he explain to his son that a woman his father is not with, is going to give him yet another child, something he's always wanted when Marian was alive? His son might have no memories of his mother coming back from the Enchanted Forest, saved by Emma Swan months ago... but he's going to see his father and Regina holding a baby, his sibling.
His thoughts are interrupted as he hears a twig snap not too far from him. His fantastic hearing catches the faint sound and he knows he's not alone. Robin turns around and looks into the darkness, trying to see anything... perhaps a shadow, or the figure of a person. But he doesn't.
”Who goes there?” Robin speaks into the darkness, expecting an answer that doesn't come. He wishes he had his bow with him, or even that crossbow that Little John stole... how long ago now? He also misses the feeling of an arrow stuck in between his fingers, the gentle stroke of it's feathery tip as it screams at him to be released into the nearest target. That would have come in handy, especially when he doesn't know what kind of danger lies ahead. ”Show yourself!”
But nothing could have prepared Robin for what came next...
