Player Name & Pronouns: Cat (she/her) Preferred Communication:sometimesamuse
Character Name & Journal: Bucky Barnes (sinistral) Guild Affiliation: n/a; new arrival will stay "neutral" until he's forced to pick one Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Bucky is brand new to the game and while he would love to be old man yells at sky and get off my lawn about all of this, I'm a mean person so he's definitely not going to be allowed to have that kind of peace or tranquility. I'd really like to get into exploring the idea of self with him: not only living for himself, but actively choosing what kind of a life he wants to lead and what kind of a person he wants to be. Until now his life has very much been scripted by HYDRA and their complete control over him, and even after escaping from them he lives more as an anonymous drifter who moves around. Exploring the idea that he could be a member of a community and valued for something other than being a brainwashed assassin is definitely a long term goal.
Plot/CR Hooks: Being brand new, getting used to this world is going to be an adjustment; superheroes exist back home for him, but he doesn't consider himself one of them and honestly wants nothing to do with them or that life, Steve. Things that push him toward having to use his powers are more than welcome because he'd quite happily be a hermit forever if allowed. His canon point is near the beginning of Captain America: Civil War (specifically, right after his apartment has been invaded and the rooftop fight with the Black Panther), so his life has been hiding from the worlds and trying to be anonymous; thrusting him into a place where he can't do that will definitely shake him up. He's also been given some minor healing powers — which he won't realize on arrival — so that could be a hook into interactions with others and realization that he can't be anonymous forever. He also has the Winter Soldier programming completely intact and can be triggered into complete obedience. This isn't something I want to dive into right away, but it's on the table for the future.
Regarding this event specifically, I welcome all the team ups, especially of the "I just wanted coffee but now I'm bench pressing a van because I didn't want it to crush a little old lady" variety. You wanna go punch some hipster vloggers? Let's go punch some hipster vloggers. Lodgings-wise this guy will take advantage of the whole free housing thing, at least for a bit; if you really want him as a roommate, we can absolutely discuss it. And powers going haywire? Yes please have some accidentally crushing doorknobs or ripping car doors off their hinges through a strength surge; I am here for all the ridiculousness that can come from this kind of thing so lay it on me.
Also please try to sneak up on this assassin and pin refrigerator magnets to his metal arm, I need this like burning.
Canon-wise I am still trying to avoid spoilers for the latest Spider-Man movie (I only have to hold out a few more weeks!) so please, uh, avoid me for a bit if you fall into that territory.
