Hello there! Introductions: This is Bucky; he's an incredible flirt, who's completely confused about pretty much everything, because this isn't 1944, is it? He has all his memories, all his limbs, and none of the murderous mental conditioning or guilty angst his future-counterpart possesses. Not to say he's always cheerful - he was tortured and endured an experimental drug regimen which he's still not entirely clear on the implications... But really, he's much happier than the Winter Soldier. He's also not at all Politically Correct, and while he doesn't intend to be... He's probably gonna be a little bit racist and chauvinistic. (Seriously, I apologize SO HARD in advance. He doesn't know any better. Please teach him!) If you're not familiar with his canon, or wanna see how I've fleshed it out (from the about 40 minutes of him as a fleshed-out character in Captain America and Winter Soldier), you can check out his VERY long history from my app here. And please, feel free to ask me any questions about him, I adore Bucky and will...probably give you a dissertation on him. >.>
Other introduction: I'm Katie, I'm not brand new to RPing, but I am completely new to playing in any sort of community/game setting. But I loved the whole idea and setting for this game, and really wanted to drag 40's Bucky into the craziness. (Also, Amy enabled me into it and held my hand while I freaked out multiple times, so all blame/praise should really go to her.) I can pretty much always be reached on Plurk at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
eirian84, unless I'm sleeping. I'm CST, but work nights part-time, so basically just pretend I live in Australia. I generally answer tags in the evening/wee hours of the morning when I wake up, or in the morning if I've had to work. You can also PM this journal if you've got any sorts of ideas for plots and/or shenanigans Bucky could get into. I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody, and meeting some really great and interesting characters!

And yeah. There's potential for the Winter Soldier, but he would be HARD to get to interact, especially in any kind of slice of life situation. In a focused PSL where he could get the attention and care he needs to function? I could see it. But in a game? Yeah, nightmare. :) I think this is an awesome canon point for him, because I really enjoyed him in TFA and the flashes of him that you do eventually start to see later on in Civil War (without being spoilery. :D )
I also admit that I just love to see happy, well-adjusted characters bouncing around. Every character is entitled to drama and trauma, but it's grindingly exhausting and sometimes, you need a few level heads around! (That's what Rhys was supposed to be, but, well, the City had a different idea for him, alas. >.< But Rhys *mostly* Means well and will be grateful for whatever trouble Bucky helps him out of? :D )

I've seen CA:CW... once, in the theater, and it literally broke my feels. I walked out of there just repeating "...I feel nothing. What is wrong with me?" I should watch it again like I did Avengers 2 (downloaded, with frequent pauses to catch my breath & digest what's happening, lol) but... ugh. The Bucky-snark, though... In the other movies/flashbacks, you don't get such a strong sense that Bucky's kind of a shit-head sometimes, which I love, haha!
I do have some plans for Bucky-drama/angst, involving realizing he's got some form of super soldier serum in him (tongue-twister, gah), plus the whole 'people seem to know a different version of me', but that's mostly gonna be for quiet moments. When someone else is in trouble, ESPECIALLY someone he considers a friend, Bucky is level-headed, no-nonsense, we'll-figure-this-out kinda guy. He doesn't get into trouble.
Except possibly in relationships.>.> But who knows what will happen! I kind of want to read what's going on with everyone in the logs... but I also don't want to be 'spoiled' and possibly color how Bucky reacts to things when he learns about them.no subject
And drama and angst are necessary for character development and to make the fluff more rewarding when you get to it! I have a hard time playing ships without that groundwork, it's just when it becomes an endless black hole of suffering with no relief that it gets to be an issue. :) Every character has their weak points, and other characters help shore those up- that's why it works!

YES, THIS EXACTLY. I've written PSLs where it's nothing but angst, & I just quickly lost interest, even though we were furthering the plot & characters.
Also part of why I don't like most zombie stuff. It's only a matter of time, people!*Ahem*. But Bucky's still pretty new to me, no matter how much I had to analyze him just for his app, and I know I'm still learning a lot about him - so, we'll see what happens! It's exciting, but kinda terrifying, lol.no subject
But of course, you do have to knock them around some to see what makes them tick, and to make them appreciate their good times. Hopefully this is great for you and Bucky- this is the first time I've really played Rhys in a big, in-depth game and even though he's been in my head for several years now, I'm totally in new waters with him and it's great. :D They don't shine until you rough 'em up a bit, I guess.
