Well, it does help that he appears in Robin's Final smash in such an awesome way.
Anyway, more wallpaper:
As a side note, the more I finish Awakening, the less Robin feels like an Avatar. I have no idea why people call him Avatar sometimes :v The protagonists from the Suikoden series, or even silent protagonists in general, like Crono from Chrono Trigger, for example, feel more "Avatar"-ish than he ever will, imo, since you can actually project your own personality into these characters. "My Unit" makes more sense, but it's still strange. Sometimes I wonder why they even let you customize Robin's appearance, trying to give you a false sense of him being an Avatar, when he obviously has his own personality (and even a big role in the plot!) in the game. Stuff like being able to choose the gender is good, though. (and that reminds me that even M!Robin and F!Robin have sightly different personalities!)
No really, I can't see my own projection into Robin
at all, Heck, even OC/Self-inserts Awakening fanfics I've come across
keep (mostly default)Robin and add another character that they can relate to. You'd think they'd use Robin as their OC, since he's the player's character.
That's why I just consider him to be
Robin
