## Background

It is true that Robert became blind in infancy. This was however, the result of an accident caused by either his own incompetent father or Melville, who was born a day after and was likely nearby at the time of the accident. It is a complete mystery of which of the following events is true. Unfortunately for the blind child himself, he is often one of, if not the easiest person to be taken advantage of in the whole school.

## Appearance

Robert is a young male child with pale skin. He wears a black bolero hat on his head which covers his hair. He also wears black pants and shoes. To keep himself warm, he wears a white jacket with 2 side pockets and is constantly seen wearing black gloves. Robert without any given orders, would wear either a black and white stripe scarf or a black Bandana which gives him more of a country look. A noticeable feature of his is a sunglass that covers his eyes and a walking stick which shows that he is blind.

Robert has blue eyes and short blonde hair under his hat. He is also the second tallest kid in class, only behind Charles.

## Personality

Robert is one of the most self-aware and conscious student at North Park Elementary. This however, does not make him the most moral student. Robert has huge dreams and passions, but often gets caught up in it and prioritizing it over the well being of other people. When his actions end up hurting the people who are actually close to him, Robert goes through a great deal of stress and starts overthinking in a very unhealthy way.

Robert's major struggle consists of him trying to deal with his disability and the way people takes advantage of him. Since Robert knows himself very well, he uses his talent to the best of it's ability and will try to stay clear  of things he would fall behind in. This way he can compete with many of the students of his school, and even at times may at surpassed them in some areas. Robert also has an easier time accepting any given situation than anyone else. This however, in itself, doesn't mean that he is totally happy. Curtis, Posie, Cripple-Fucker, Mr. Iris and Melville often gets on his nerves and would at times cause him to have a short argumentative temper when things get too ridiculous.

Robert's personality could also be influenced by his cultural background since he is a person from the American South. Since American southern culture is rooted in honor and disrespecting the honor of a southerner is more insult to them. This could explain why Robert can get insulted by them, his Colorado-born classmate. Robert also gets annoyed at the false and fake stereotypes of southern culture. This oftentimes gets him to correct anyone who gets southern culture wrong. Robert has a dislike for Getting Gay With Kids Choir since they lip sync their songs rather than actually singing their own song. He hates being called a redneck or hillbilly. Robert also have some southern hospitality in him, especially among his friends and family.

Robert is usually the voice of reason in most of the situation, whether he is with Curtis or the main trio.

## Family

#### Nolan Iris (father)

Mr. Iris is the reason Robert's got his stoic philosophy. Mr. Iris always tries to do the job he sees right in front of him without being hired in the first place, but somehow gets paid for it afterward. Mr. Iris is so careless with his own actions that he actually manages to put Robert and Nancy into life-threatening danger, such as the time he manages to offended a mafia boss who are not out of their way to actually kill both of the Iris' children. This had caused Iris to believes that he himself have no control over the situation causing him to stay away from his own father.

#### Nancy Iris (twin sister)

Nancy Iris is Robert's twin sister is only a few minutes older than him. She is North Park Elementary School announcement girl and news reporter. Both Robert and Nancy have their own duality within both of them. Robert is the one who retreats from the world, while Nancy is the one who pursues it.

#### River Iris (mother)

River is Robert's mother, the alien UFO. Robert and his mother have a healthy enough relationship, at least as healthy a relationship between an alien and a blind kid can be. River helps Robert adjust to living with his own alien heritage.

#### Simo Häyhä (ancestor)

Simo Häyhä (1905-2002) was a Finnish sniper who fought during the Winter War, which was one of the European theatre of the Second World War. Simo Haya had a total confirmed kill count of 505 making him the deadliest sniper of all of history.

## Relationships

#### The Main Trio

Robert often serves as the voice of reason whenever he is the fourth member, but this does not make him the voice of what is good and wrong. Many of the things that he said to Chaz, Jerry, and Mandy are rational but may not be necessarily put him in the right. At times, all three-member way put their biases in Robert's words as time like any most people would do when presented with pure facts.

#### Curtis

Curtis is Robert's best friend. They both complement each other's needs. Curtis often keeps an eye out for Robert and is making sure he is not bumping into anything or helping describe what Robert can't see due to his disability. In turn, Robert serves as Curtis mental filter, which keeps Curtis safe from his own action. Curtis' reckless behavior and lack of a second thought often annoyed Robert a lot, but Robert usually forgives Curtis since they are best friends.

#### Asimov

Asimov is one of Robert's friends and is second in command for the North Park Elementary Music Band. Asimov can sing on a par with Robert. They both practice music every other week together.

#### Posie

Posie and Robert's relationship is very strained. Posie's own ego would often blind her to the fact that Robert is the most talented musician in town and is definitely far better than her in that field. Posie did volunteer herself to join the local band which Robert leads, but she would often try to take his spotlight believing Robert is the weakest link. Posie had led an entire protest against Robert being the first big name person out of  town. She does genuinely believe that by doing this, she is actually helping Robert by guiding him the right way.  Robert never takes Posie's beliefs on the disabled.

#### Cripple-Fucker

Cripple Fucker always wanted to have sex with Robert just like any other disabled person. Robert does tolerate Crip a tad more than Sid. But still absolutely despises Crip. Cripple Fucker goes out of his way just to have sex every time he sees Robert, and the sexual intercourse is never with Robert's consent. Cripple Fucker had try to join Robert's band and attended his concert for the intent of getting close to him so he could Fuck him. This made Robert have a huge distrust of Cripple Fucker.

#### Crippler

Crippler is someone who Robert does not like. Robert sees Crippler as an insane maniac, since Robert does not discriminate against anyone, and the fact that he never wanted a totalitarian society, even if it is for cripples. Also, since Robert was not born blind but got it at a young age would make him a second class citizen in Crippler's society. Crippler however, does want Robert to succeed in his music career and gave him a speech on why he believes that Robert is destined to be a great musician who will be remembered throughout history. Crippler had even requested Robert to abandon both Curtis and Nancy, as they would never be as good as him, whom Robert loves the most besides his mother. As a result, Robert becomes very conflicted and confused.

## Powers and abilities

#### Blindness

This is just a disability that holds Robert back. He does seem to see light. Robert as a result, would often bump into many things and cause a lot of accidents. This had happened when he accidentally destroyed Asimov, and had even made things worse by mistaking the heart of a Cthulhu as a battery and putting it into Asimov.

#### Hearing

Robert possess an impressive amount of hearing. He can at times detect Hansel and Cripple Fucker when they are walking stealthily. To show how impressive this ability is. When he larps as a bounty hunter, Robert became the best bounty hunter in North Park and is undefeated for a while. The fact that he can shoot a gun while wearing a jetpack with good accuracy shows that his hearing is really a big deal. To show further lengths on his hearing ability, he can hold his ground against Lydia, Hansel, Dull and New kid all together pretty well.

#### Fire Arm Accuracy

Being a descendant of a legendary sniper, Robert may have had the sniper gene in him. This would explain how he knows how to use a gun which he carries around school all day. The sniper gene combined with Robert's hearing would make him good at shooting moving targets but fails at those who standing still. Theoretically Robert would actually make a good hunter since animals are known to make noise all the time.

Robert can shoot the wrist of a commercial pilot far away.  A commercial pilot usually flies up to 5.9 to 7.2 miles. The commercial plane can be seen by the naked eye at 200 to 250 miles away. This mean Robert can shoot someone with pin point accuracy at over 900 miles away which is 409 times longer than the real world record longest shot by Canadian sniper with the distance of 2.2 miles. Also a commercial plane can go as fast as 575 mph.
