CHARACTER NAME: James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, aka The Winter Soldier
CHARACTER CANON: MCU

OOC

Slowtagging: Oh yes.
Canon-puncturing: He will eventually be aware that he was fictionalized in comic books during WWII for the purposes of propaganda, but apart from that, please do not canon puncture him. He's got enough to deal with right now.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): None, although if you think a subject is offensive to begin with, it's probably best to talk about it first just to be safe.

IC

Hugging this character: No
Kissing this character: No
Flirting with this character: You can try, but it probably won't have much effect.
Fighting with this character: Yes, but we'll need to talk, as he's pretty formidable.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Yes; again, let's talk.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Oh lawdy. This is okay, but I do ask that you not make ANY assumptions about ANYTHING, even based on previous gameplay. Bucky's poor mind is a quagmire, and his memory is vastly unreliable, both because he has been brainwashed, and because he's had it altered so many times. So what he fully remembered a week ago, he might have trouble with now.

General Warnings: Just going to C/P from the meme.

Bucky (who will not respond to that name at this time, for the record) is in an extremely precarious place when it comes to his personal development and identity. For the last 70 years, he's been in a loop of being cryogenically frozen, thawed, given forced amnesia, and then brainwashed into doing horrific things. Lather, rinse, repeat; over and over and over again. What memories he's had of his previous life have been fleeting, murky, and quickly dispatched by the people controlling him. As it stands, he has virtually no identity apart from the horrible things he's done, although he doesn't remember all of those, either. For a long time, he's been a machine—Nameless, unquestioning, efficient, obedient. Out from under Hydra's thumb, he's learned who he used to be, and while anger is perhaps the most present and familiar part of this revelation, he's struggling more with the other emotions it's prompted, as he's not accustomed to feeling sympathy, compassion, curiosity, or confusion. He has virtually no coping mechanisms. He's volatile, there's no doubt about it, but he's also largely adrift and looking for answers—Not just to who he used to be, but to who he can be now. He might not directly admit it, but he wants to know what it's like to be a real boy—To finally feel and think for himself, now that he knows he can. And a big part of that is going to be interacting with people. This will likely be a slow and painful process—He's got little experience with social interaction, and he's not good at it. But he has to learn how to be something other than a blunt instrument, and the only way he can do that is by being around other people, particularly those who won't judge him too harshly, ask too many questions, or try to manipulate him. (That last? NOT going to go over well.)

Godmodding

Right now, no one. We'll get there eventually, but it might take awhile.
