» NAME: Steve Rogers
» CANON: Marvel Cinematic Universe
» CANON POINT: post-Civil War
» AGE: ~100
» SETTING: wiki
» SHORT DESCRIPTION: loyal, idealistic, brave, stubborn, honest, self-sacrificing
» INFLUENTIAL EVENTS:
Project Rebirth
Being born in relatively poor health, Steve had been rejected from joining the army several times already. He was so determined to help the war effort that he did this despite it being illegal to try so many times, which he did by constantly lying about what town he was from. Dr. Erskine, the man who developed the Super Soldier Serum, was so impressed with his determination and pressed for Steve to be the soldier that they use it on. Steve jumped at the opportunity to join the army and trained as hard as he could, even when he was physically unable to keep up with others. Where he couldn't train hard, he trained smart, and when the men were tested with a dummy grenade that they thought was live, everyone ran away from it when Steve dove on top of it to shield everyone from the blast with his own body. This was how he was ultimately chosen and the procedure changed him from a small and sickly man to a muscular and healthy one able to function at the peak of human capacity.
Azzano
Now transformed, Steve was a powerhouse, but Project Rebirth was scrapped and Steve was relegated to performing with the USO as Captain America, first to sell war bonds in the US and then to entertain the troops in Europe. He was dissatisfied with the situation, but unsure of what to do to change it until he got word that his best friend's unit had been captured and that his best friend, Bucky, might be dead. With the help of Peggy and Howard Stark, he dropped from a plane and single-handedly free the captured Allied men in Azzano, including Bucky. After that, he commanded Bucky and several of the other men he freed as the Howling Commandos and he was finally able to give the help to the war effort that he'd wanted to give all along.
Into the Ice
On a mission with the Commandos on a Axis-controlled train, Bucky was blasted back and fell from the train. Presumed dead from the immensely high fall, Steve was forced to accept the fact that he'd been only a few feet away and completely unable to save him. Shortly after, Steve flew the Red Skull's weaponized plane into the frozen ocean far away from civilization, saving countless people from the potential damage it could have done and accepting his own imminent death in the process. His final moments were spent saying goodbye to Peggy, the women who had supported him through much of this journey as Captain America and who he'd fallen in love with during their time together.
Waking Up
Almost 70 years later, Steve's body was found in the ice. Waking up in the modern world was a shock to him and he found himself stuck feeling like an old fashioned man in a foreign world with the knowledge that most of what he'd known and accepted, even cherished about his life was gone and would never be the same. He was asked to join the Avengers shortly after this when SHIELD felt the Earth was threatened. As time went on, he continued to adapt and did his best to catch up with cultural changes, pop culture and technology. He also had to adapt to the fact that nearly everyone he'd know had died and to him, he'd only recently lost Bucky and said goodbye to Peggy. Though an old woman by then, Peggy was still alive and Steve visited with her often until she died a few years later.
Winter Soldier
A few years after he woke up, SHIELD fell apart when they learned that HYDRA, an organization that Steve had fought against during WW2, had been growing inside of it all along. Worse than that, the experiments performed on Bucky during his time as a POW had helped him survive his fall from the train, but HYDRA has spent years training and brainwashing him into a nearly-robotic assassin. Once Steve realized that the man he was fighting was Bucky, he refused to fight the man and nearly died again trying to get Bucky to remember him. In the end, Bucky saved him and went on the run for two years and once Steve found him again, it was with SHIELD right on his tail. Steve chose to become a fugitive to help Bucky and to stand up for several things he was being asked to sign away. The two of them flew to Siberia to stop a madman from waking up several frozen soldiers even more dangerous than Bucky had been and in the process Steve learned that Bucky had killed Howard, a man who'd helped them in the war and who was the father of one of Steve's current teammates, Tony. Steve helped Bucky fight Tony when he attacked them and escaped with him, bringing him to the safety in Wakanda so that he could be frozen and going on the run himself, as he was now a wanted criminal.
» FIT: Steve has spent time in a warzone and ran missions for SHIELD. He's been a man out of his element and a pioneer. He will adapt to this setting the way he always has through the major changes and upheavals of his life and he'll do it while trying to keep everyone else safe. I'm interested to play with what happens to him when he loses the structure his life has had of following a government or having a greater mission. It's a thread that they explored a little in his last solo movie and I'd like to play with it further here.
» POWERS: Peak human strength/speed/endurance. Peak human immunity to most sickness/faster healing. Metabolism strong enough to render alcohol and many drugs useless. Peak human brain function trained to memorize plans/process tactics.
