Alright, Lash, if we're going to write this, fill me on the characters we've got at our disposal. Let's figure out what makes 'em tick.

Okay, the way I see it, we can pick up where TT # 53 ended.
As of that issue, the Titans consisted of:
ROBIN KID FLASH WONDER GIRL SPEEDY MAL DUNCAN (as the GAURDIAN) BUMBLEBEE DUELA DENT (as The Harlequin) LILITH HAWK DOVE BEAST BOY GNARRK GOLDEN EAGLE BAT-GIRL (since retconned to Flamebird, a change I don't mind)

Let's just go through them in order. Even one's I "know", I'm not really all that knowledgeable about what they were like during that period.
What ages are we looking at the characters as being?
This is a Robin who hasn't yet emerged from Batman's shadow, I take it? Yet it's hardly one who is just Bats "junior partner".

Basically, at this point, they were still seen as the kid sidekicks, but you have the definite sense that they are starting the process of growing up and "doing their own thing".

So Robin's like, the leader and stuff? Kind of the responsible one? But does he have the same kind of "laughing in the face of danger" jokester attitude of his early years, or has that mellowed?

He was definitely the leader and definitely still the jokester. He also was shown to have had a bit of a "thing" for Duela. Those 2 were boinking, for sure!

Okay, so Robin I think I get, then.
What about Kid Flash? I only know the angsty Wolfman-version, and the more recent having-taken-over-the-Flash-mantle version. What was he like before that?

Jillikers, I need to dig out those issues, but going from memory...
I can recall Kid Flash and Speedy nearly coming to blows over Wonder Girl at one point. I can't remember which of the 2 she was actually dating at this point, but I think it was Speedy.
Kid Flash is pretty much Mr. Dependable in this era.

Oh, this is after that. Of course, it could easily be retconned back in as an ongoing problem at the time. It wouldn't cause any continuity snafus if we did.
His drug addiction wasn't actually addressed in these issues, but being in a band called GREAT FROG... well, you just figure there was some drugs lying around with the groupies.

So Wally is like Mr. Dependable Nice Guy, and Roy is like Mr. Coked-up rock star, and Donna's caught in between them?

Wally was midwestern corn feed dependable and always had the hots for Donna;
Speedy and Donna had a thing going;
Flamebird had the hots for Robin:
Don't forget Lilith and Gnaark. They were an item;
Hank Hall (Hawk) was an obnoxious bore who also had the hots for Donna;
Aqualad & Tula were an item at the time;
Speedy's drug addiction was in the past;

Dick's the leader with a sense of humor
Wally's Mr. Middle-America.
Roy's the bad boy.
What about Donna? What drives her?
