Character Name: Captain Steve Rogers
Series: Captain America: The First Avenger
Age: 25. Technically.
From When?: Just after he wakes up in 2011 New York

Inmate/Warden: Warden. Steve is basically your ideal boy scout: helpful, friendly, all that good stuff, and a great leader. He’s willing to lead by example and do his assigned duty, even in a place where he’s not technically a soldier. He’ll make sure his inmate graduates, no matter what he has to do.

Item: A notebook.

Abilities/Powers: Welp, he’s been injected with super-soldier serum. So it can be assumed he’s basically the peak of human perfection. When it comes to Olympic athletes, they’ve got nothing on Steve Rogers. He is exceptionally skilled at using a shield, of course, as both a weapon and protection -- and the general training that comes with spending a few years in the army. He tries to stay as physically fit as he possibly can, though he doesn’t really need to -- balanced diet and daily exercise. Despite all the super-soldier stuff, though, he is still a normal human. He can be hurt, wounded, all that -- he just heals a little faster than most.

Personality: To put it succinctly, Steve Rogers is one of those few people that is a genuinely good guy. He's basically your perfect boy scout. Despite all that, he can't be summed up very easily in one sentence, so here goes.

Steve grew up as -- basically, a 98 pound asthmatic weakling. That one guy that always got shoved around and beat up because he wasn't a threat. This continued until -- well, until he met Erskine and joined up with Project Rebirth. Luckily, he always had his best friend around to watch his back for him (and teach him some fighting skills). However, this constantly-being-beat-up thing ingrained in Steve a very intense dislike for bullies. He knows what it feels like, to be shoved around because you're smaller than everyone else. He made up for it, at least back then, by speaking his mind and basically being a fiesty little son of a gun. He never gives up, even when he's massively outgunned. There's always a creative way around a problem, in Steve's mind, and sometimes it's the simplest one.

Though he can be stubborn and pigheaded some of the time, he is always unfailingly polite and friendly. This also applies to ladies, though he is a great deal more awkward and skittish around them than anyone who didn't know Steve before the serum could possibly believe. He has a tendency to be a little bit shy and reserved when he first meets someone, but once he cares about someone? There's no letting them go. He's very used to being overlooked, having grown up with it, so he is good at staying quiet and in the shadows until an opportune moment arises. His true goal in life, though, is to protect people.

Project Rebirth, of course, helps with this -- but even before that, Steve shows his willingness to do absolutely anything he can to protect the little guy; even if it comes down to lying on what he thinks is a live grenade. He wants to be like his father, who died serving his country and protecting America. There is not a truly bad bone in his body, and Steve proves this time and time again, with the easy way he gets along with people, leads them, and does the things he knows and believes to be right, even if it means technically disobeying orders.

Because of his ability to lead and -- well, general nice-guyness, it's pretty much impossible to not admire Steve Rogers. He's a stubborn, determined, scrappy young man who is damn well going to do his parents and country proud any way he can. He cannot just sit around and do nothing, watch the world crash down around him and let bigger men abuse their power and hurt innocent people. He's not the standing by sort of guy. Do something first and apologize later, is how he sees it -- and the things he usually does end up being helpful in some form or another later along the line, anyway.

He's not all perfect, though -- as stated, he can be extremely stubborn, and he is fiercely protective of anyone he cares about. Because he is so intent on doing things his way, or getting a job done to his satisfaction -- he can and does clash with certain personalities; most notably in Avengers, but that has little to do with this game for now. He dislikes arrogance and power-hungry individuals, people who say things and act as if they're better than everyone else -- it reminds him of the worst dregs of HYDRA and fascism. He is somewhat old-fashioned, as well....even moreso, waking up seventy years in the future. He doesn't exactly get computers and things just yet, so the barge will in essence be quite a lot of culture shock for him.

Path to Redemption: N/A

History: Steve's history on the Marvel wiki. The part about the video game can be omitted, as I will just be playing him from film canon.


Sample Journal Entry: [There is the sound of buttons being a bit haphazardly mashed, and some slight shuffling. Eventually, there is a quiet 'oh', and the video flickers to life and reveals a handsome young man, dressed in a tight-fitting t-shirt and sweat pants.]

Sorry, folks, I'm still trying to figure out how things work around here. [He gives a little sheepish smile and ducks his head, before glancing back to the camera.] Uh. Hello, I'm Captain Steve Rogers. Some of you might know me as Captain America. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I was told that you could use my help up here.

There's not -- a lot for me to do at home right now, so here I am. [A little pause.] Though if anyone could catch me up on -- current events, back home, it'd be appreciated.

Sample RP: A new mission. That was what he'd been told back at SHIELD HQ -- what they had in mind for him. Not getting him back into the world, getting him up to speed on what he'd apparently missed in the last seventy years; but another job for him. He could handle that, Steve thought. It was what he had signed up for, anyway, and he was always willing to serve his country.

Even if that meant going into space -- which was a new (and slightly terrifying) thought all on its own -- he would still be doing something useful. He would be helping people, rehabilitating them. That was easier said than done, of course, but he was adaptable enough. So of course he'd said yes, jumping at the chance to help out, and here he was -- on a barge, in space, looking slightly befuddled at his brand new communicator.

That was something they hadn't explained yet. It looked a bit like a radio, maybe it worked the same sort of way? This would take some figuring out. Steve frowned and poked at a button or two, holding the comm to his ear. "Um. Hello?" Nothing. Hm. Maybe there was an instruction book he could find, somewhere around here.
