[quote=@Retired] Not really any comments/concerns for this one, aside from the same bit about how he was abducted - assuming that the final paragraph was to be taken literally. Mostly just curiosities like does he wield a triangular or circular shield and did he and Peggy actually have a life together considering he didn't die? But the latter can obviously be revealed in the IC. [/quote] Less literally, more as an overly flowery way to say 'and then he was away'd.' Can cut it out pretty easily. During the war he primarily wielded the heater shield, which was simple steel and found more value as a symbol for the troops to rally behind than as an actual weapon. A couple'a months before the armistice, though, a final engagement with HYDRA led to him pilfering the round one- made of an alloy with all the properties we know and love. It was meant to be wielded by the Nazi's own version of a super soldier that never came to fruition. There's a heavy dosage of irony in using it how he does these days. Avoiding specifics? Sort of. They were together for a number of years after the war but before Steve went on the run. He wants to go back to her but knows it'd only endanger them both; there's no way to keep up the fight and be together with her at the same time. Carter's older now and time hasn't been kind. Steve's lifestyle would almost certainly be the end of her. [quote=@Retired] You all have characters that are pretty martial arts focused with leadership skills. Nomad, Batman, Sabretooth, Old Patch, and Dark Web. If you wouldn't mind, can you take the time to describe to me how you envision the character's role inside and outside of combat? Otherwise, I can only see them as their archetypical roles, which makes them all fairly similar. [/quote] Wellll ain't that unfortunate. In this timeline Steve Rogers is much more of a brawler than in the comics. All he's got to work with is his military training, which was much more focused on tactics and weaponry usage than strict hand to hand. Augmented speed and strength, combined with the shield, make him [i]very[/i] dangerous to normal humans. Things get trickier against more skilled or stronger opponents who can cancel his strengths, forcing him to be a bit more clever in his approach. Steve takes advantage of his shield's strange properties and his environment as much as possible, and he's not above pulling a gun when things get messy enough. This Rogers is not a superhero, he's a soldier. Its a philosophy that'll inevitably lead to him bumping heads with his teammates whenever he starts barking orders or asks people to make uncomfortable decisions. He's' not one to sacrifice his principles- [b]ever[/b]- but there's a naivety to the cape-and-tights types that gets on his nerves. Plus, to be honest? All this shit that's going on is totally overwhelming. The man comes from a universe where [i]he's[/i] the weirdest thing walking around. And now he's fighting aliens and jumping through dimensions. He's as out of place alongside these super types as mainstream Rogers is in modern times.
