Name: Sgt. James “Bucky” Buchanan Barnes ( Winter Solider )
Canon: Marvel
Canon point: End of Winter Solider #1
Age: 90’s but looks to be in his mid to late 20’s
Appearance: Bucky has shaggy shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes he stands at 5’9’’ and his left arm has been replaced with a gleaming metal bionic one. At times he has the build of an athlete, and carries himself with a soldier’s posture most of the time. At times he looks like just a normal man, ( aside from his left arm. ) But in his uniform or when he is angry to doesn’t look like the type of man you want to cross.
Background:
Bucky was an Orphan on the streets of Brooklyn, living life kind of rough, until one day he helps a kid by the name of Steve Rogers fend off a group of neighborhood bullies. The pair become fast friends, and Steve convinces Bucky to leave the streets and come stay in the Orphanage with him. ( First Vengeance issue 1-4)
It was the 30’s and times where tough for everyone, though life in the orphanage was far better then life in the streets, it didn’t mean it was always an easy life. When you best friend and the only person you consider family is always sick and there is hardly enough money to keep food on the table and cloths on the children’s back you start to have real life worries at an early age.
[ Childhood head cannon here shared with Steve player applying ]
Bucky was a healthy bright boy, even though he had somewhat of a mouth on him and a quick wit, he was still a highly adoptable child, though he’d often make sure no family would take him in. To stay with and take care of Steve, his best friend and the only family Bucky really sees himself as having.
At times when Steve would get sick, Bucky would sneak out and steal medicine to try and help his friend get better. In later years he realized how stupid this was because he didn’t really know what he was doing and very well could have made the situation worse. But at the time he was just trying to take care of someone who also took care of him.
[ End of childhood headcannon. ]
Though Bucky dropped out of High School he takes art classes here and there with Steve but has none of the talent Steve does and mostly just goes to see the naked girls. Which Steve chides him for from time to time, but Bucky just lets it roll off his shoulders.
It is during one of these classes in 1941 when they hear that Pearl Harbor has been bombed and the nation has gone to war.
Bucky decides to enlist in the army and so does Steve, Bucky tries to talk Steve out of it because of his health and size, and the fact that he doesn’t want his best friend going off to war.
When Steve says he’ll find a way to do it on his own without Bucky, Bucky has a change of heart and decides to help train Steve up.
Bucky gets accepted into the Army and Steve gets rejected; Bucky is relieved. More than relieved he doesn’t want his family going off to get shot at he lost his father to WWI and doesn’t want to lose Steve as well.
The night before he ships out he goes to the Stark Expo with Steve where they get into (add word get into what?) about Steve ditching their dates to go try and enlist again. He tries to talk Steve out of it and brings his size into it.
He cares too much to let his friend go off and fight a war, when Bucky is sure Steve wouldn’t come back, no matter how much fight his best friend has in him.
They aren’t mad at each other for long though, just a matter of minutes because Bucky has to ship out. They go their separate ways. [ First Vengeance 1-4 ]
During a gruesome mission Bucky is take as a POW and tortured and experimented on, it is a dark time, but he stays strong and doesn’t give the Hydra operatives any information. He starts to lose track of time and isn’t sure how long they have been holding him in the lab. Bucky starts to question his sanity when a taller, broader stronger Steve shows up for his rescue, in tights no less. But after an exchange of a few words he is sure it’s his friend, but between this and the torture well he’ll just have a lot of processing to do when they get back to base right now they just need to get out of the Hydra base.
They finally manage to escape, and while he is in shock, over what he’s seen and been through and over Steve’s new size. Bucky can’t help but to be happy that Steve’s outsides finally match what he knew was inside.
[ The following is from Captain America Vs Winter Solider Trade the lead in to the stand alone Winter Solider comics]
But even though Steve has a new body, new strength and isn’t the sick little kid anymore he can’t help but feel protective over his friend, and think he needs someone around who still sees him as the scraper from Brooklyn and he will happily remind Steve that he is a brat at times.
On a mission to collect on of Red Skull’s man and put a stop to Hydra, Bucky falls from the train, and is presumed dead by the US Army and Steve. Only the fall doesn’t kill him it bangs up his body something awful.
But his fall into the freezing snow preserved his body and kept him from bleeding out from the loss of his left arm and the serious wounds covering the left side of his body. The Russians find him and the doctors begin to run tests on him and rebuild him. The doctors on the transport treated as best they could to keep him alive put him cryostatis until his arrival in Moscow.
Once in Moscow they start testing the serum they smuggled out of the Hydra labs during a spy mission on his blood while keeping him in status. They are aware that this is Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s partner and best friend, they believe he has the secrets to the serum and will make a good test subject.
When they bring him out of cryostatis they fear him dead and give him a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart along with electroshocks.
When Bucky awakes because of the trauma of the snow and cryostatis he has no memory of his former life. Understandably so Bucky freaks out when he wakes up on a lab table. The Russians realized he has retained his muscle memory. Even with one arm the Russians are surprised as his spryness. They sedate him and put him back in cryostatis, and determine there is nothing super about him.
He remains in the cryo tube from 1945-1954, when the robotics division attached his arm, and the Russians began building a new memory for project code name Winter Solider.
He spends the next three years doing spy and assassination missions for the Russians, in between missions he is returned to statis. But slowly despite the brainwashing his mind starts trying to fill the holes that when in his memory when he is pulled from the snow. (this is confusing)
In a mission in Chicago the lines start to blur more in his mind, memories start to bleed through, and he becomes confused he is no longer sure what he is or who he is. After he kills a senator he fails to meet with his handlers instead he follows his urge to board a bus to New York City.
For two weeks he was away from the Russians and living in an old flop house in The Lower East Side, it took to Russian agents to take him back into the custody. When he is returned he says he doesn’t know why he felt the need to go to New York nor does he remember anything from his life outside of being The Winter Solider.
In 1983 he goes to the Middle East to be the bodyguard to the head of his project, and still doesn’t have any memory of his life before being brainwashed into serving Russia. When the elderly Krachove dies as per his wishes Winter Soldier is put back into statis and put into storage in the department of abandoned experiments.
He remains in statis from 1988 to about 2007 when General Lukin ( who has dealings with Red Skull) wakes him and uses him to start the search for the cosmic cube.
During the hunt for the cosmic cube Bucky and Steve start running into each other and fighting each other. Both unaware of who the other is, Bucky because he has no memories and Steve because he assumes like everyone else from that time Bucky is dead.
Someone drops the Winter Solider files off at Steve’s apartment and he realizes who the Winter Solider is and it changes his feelings on the battle. But he will still try to stop The Winter Solider from getting the cube.
During the final fight for the cube Steve uses it to restore Bucky’s memories, the feeling of all his memories coming back empty spots in his mind filling in and clashing with his life working for the Russians is painful for Bucky. He remembers all the peoples he’s killed trying to get the cube and the misssions before that. With his moral compass returned it is a crushing blow to him and he grabs the cube from Steve and destroys it.
He disappears in the blast and most people other than Steve presume that he died in it.
He didn’t.
With his new memories he returns to where his life with Steve started trying to sort things out. He is mildly injured from the blast and has no medical treatment.
Fury finds him and offers him away back, but only so long as he stays away from Steve and lets them try and convince Steve that Bucky is truly and finally dead, because it would be too much for the Super Soldier to handle.
Bucky agrees because he doesn’t think he really deserves his best friend back after all he has done and he still has some spotty patches in his memory because of all the time in statis. Fury takes care of the wounds from the blast caused by the Cosmic Cube and gives Bucky a place in Shield.
As of Winter Solider #1 Bucky has yet to see Steve, but he is working with Shield and partnered with Black Widow. He feels some about of guilt about hiding his existence from Steve, but at the same time he still feels he is no longer good enough to be friends with such a man. Widow knows of Bucky and Steve’s past and like Bucky is under orders not to tell the Captain about Bucky. We’ll see how long they can both obey these orders.
Bucky will be coming into The Citadel at the end of Winter Solider #1
Previous Game History: NA
Personality:
Bucky is a honest and good man for the most part, he is unafraid to do what needs to be done and will do what is right when it comes down to it. Before his time with the Russian’s he was a trusting man and put faith into the people he knew. After the return of his memories, he is far less trusting of the people in his life. The only ones he can say he honestly trusts with all parts of him self are Natasha and Steve and he can’t even have Steve as a part of his life right now.
If a person is on Bucky’s good side they have a friend for life and protection, he can be over protective of certain people sometimes to the extreme. But that is because he has suffered so much loss in his life. His parents, then his memories and in some ways his own life, now he has a connection that that moment when he was happy, but can’t reach it and it hurts him.
Given what he has gone through in his childhood and in his adult life, Bucky values the few people he knows he can trust. He makes him over protective of them at times, he doesn’t let this get in the way of missions, but he will make sure that no one gets left behind, that the people who are dear to him Natasha and Steve are safe and sound.
Though he is a high school drop out he values intelligence but doesn’t think that going to school is the only way to obtain that. But that doesn’t mean he thinks dropping out was the best choice and it’s not one he would advise anyone to copy. But he knows four walls and a degree don’t equal a good life.
Bucky at times has nightmares; he’s come to accept them and they leave him cold and shivering in the night. He isn’t ashamed of them but he doesn’t talk about them either. He is a closed book to most people and while it may make him seem cold and calculating on the outside he is actually a quiet caring individual. But after getting his memories back, and combining that with what he now knows he did while under mind control there are a lot of things in life he doesn’t feel he deserves. Love, Friendship, companionship, but he knows that not true, and he one current connection Natasha spends time trying to convince him of that.
Bucky when he gets the chance also loves fun and sometimes he’ll find himself forgetting his current situation and finding a little bit of the old him when he goes out for a drink or to a picture ( The prices today still make his scowl and sometimes he wonders if Steve is suffering from sticker shock as well.) and finds self feeling almost normal. Until he catches a clerk staring at his arm, or the some what visible scars creeping out the left side of his collar and he will be pulled back into his current reality and go back to his apartment and try to remind himself he is fighting for the good now or the lesser of two evils.
Because of all the time he spent brainwashed and outside of his own control, Bucky has some control issues, he likes to know that he has made to the choices to do things. That it is him making the choices going on in his life and not some group of scientists playing with his brain.
He finds himself at odds with orders at times and doesn’t always obey them, because he knows his superiors aren’t always right. When it comes to the order to avoid Steve, it is both a source of relief and great pain. Because he misses the man and wants his best friend, his family back in his life, but at the same time talking to Steve means facing all the horrible things he has done.
Bucky also knows he has a problem at times with being overly honest and far too blunt and at times way too sarcastic it’s a problem he’s had his whole life. It’s a problem that has got him into bar brawls before the war, and back ally fights. He probably peeled more potatoes than any other recruit when he was in boot camp, but still managed to become one of the top snipers in his group.
Overall Bucky is a sharp man filled with pain from his past. A man trying to push past all that he has done, to build himself a future. A man who has drifted through time unaware of some of his actions, and is now back in control.
Skills and Powers:
He is an Olympic-class athlete and exceptional acrobat highly skilled in both unarmed and armed hand-to-hand combat and extremely accurate marksman. He is fluent in four languages including German and Russian. His bionic arm gives his some degree of super strength. He doesn’t have any super powers other then slightly enhanced healing and extremely decreased ageing from the tests and treatments preformed on him by The Russians.
Items: Pair of hand guns, combat knife, his uniform, compass, standard mission kit.

Action:
[ Bucky squints into the device a slight scowl on his face, he had just started to get his life together. He had enough of this kidnaping and being toyed with bullshit. ]
Look. People. Creatures. Begins, whatever the hell else is here. This may sound stupid or have been thought of before, but hey if it hasn’t then it’s my bad for not putting this out there.
If we can dream stuff into reality, why the hell hasn’t anyone tried to dream away out of this place? Or has someone tried that and horrible and mysterious things happened to them? I need intel before I can start working on a way out of this place.
[Cranky solider is cranky, he really doesn’t like when people decide to treat him as a chess piece and it is obvious in his expression. ]
Third Person Prose:
He’s got a mission and he has his shoot strapped on, Bucky takes a breath an pushes himself out of the door of the aircraft. Simple mission too, which has him relieved. Land sneak into the building get the dangerous weapons plans release the hostages set the explosives and get the hell out of dodge before the building blew. Easy stuff a junior agent could probably pull it off. But as he falls toward his target a stone arch way appears before him and a fleeting thought of why me passes through his brain as well as a thought of this is probably some how Stark’s fault. As he falls through the arch the world starts to go black and all he can think is ‘oh crap. ‘
It’s soft too soft, things should hurt everything should hurt, and he’s pissed too, he’s tired of literally falling into these types of messes. He knows it should hurt he blacked out before he could pull his chute, maybe it was the formula doing it’s job, but even then he should feel residual pain, enough to lay him up for a bit. Bucky takes a deep slow breath and opens his eyes and is greeted with white fluffy clouds and trees.
He sits up slowly and looks around he landed in a thick bed of clover, but not thick enough to soften his fall that much. “What the fuck is this Alice in Wonderland bullshit?” He mutters to himself climbing to his feel and looking around.
He shoulders the sniper riffle on the ground next to him and checks himself he’s got his weapons he supposes that’s a plus, he’s got a small first aid, another plus in case anything major happens.
Bucky stares at the knight looking guys and scrubs his hands along his face and circles around them checking the area the only thing is a door. Which gets more grumbles form the man. He had leave coming up he doesn’t need this bullshit. But there is no way back up and nothing here fit for survival. He needed to find someplace where he could try and get contact with base, maybe set up a rendezvous and a pick up point.
He runs over the facts in his mind a where stone arch way in the middle of the sky, now a door, sentinels who aren’t moving and just looking off as if out into nothing. This is not a good situation, he needs more intel, but there doesn’t seem to be anything around other then the door.
He walks up to one of them and looks at them for a moment as they both point to the door. “Where the hell am I, you fools work for Hydra or AIM?” He waits nothing no answers, just still pointing at the door. Bucky pushes a hand through his hair and checks the area again, nothing but the doors and the terracotta esq warriors. Just fucking great.
”Options he thinks to himself. Wait here: Pros: Archway could open again go back out that way. Rescue opp could be coming. Cons: No food or water supply, not good for a long wait, no outside communications with base available.”
He scrubs a hand along his face again and pushes up through his hair, if he went through the door he would be able to figure out where he is. Or at lest he hopes, and maybe set up some form of communication and build a base. It was dicey and unknown but the best way to go in a time like this. He takes in a deep breath and moves for the door.
He really was getting sick of all this Alice in Wonderland Shit that his life had become.

But as he falls toward his target a stone arch way appears before him and a fleeting thought of why me passes through his brain as well as a thought of this is probably some how Stark’s fault. As he falls through the arch the world starts to go black and all he can think is ‘oh crap. ‘
It’s soft too soft, things should hurt everything should hurt, and he’s pissed too, he’s tired of literally falling into these types of messes. He knows it should hurt he blacked out before he could pull his chute, maybe it was the formula doing it’s job, but even then he should feel residual pain, enough to lay him up for a bit. Bucky takes a deep slow breath and opens his eyes and is greeted with white fluffy clouds and trees.
He sits up slowly and looks around he landed in a thick bed of clover, but not thick enough to soften his fall that much. “What the fuck is this Alice in Wonderland bullshit?” He mutters to himself climbing to his feel and looking around.
He shoulders the sniper riffle on the ground next to him and checks himself he’s got his weapons he supposes that’s a plus, he’s got a small first aid, another plus in case anything major happens.
Bucky stares at the knight looking guys and scrubs his hands along his face and circles around them checking the area the only thing is a door. Which gets more grumbles form the man. He had leave coming up he doesn’t need this bullshit. But there is no way back up and nothing here fit for survival. He needed to find someplace where he could try and get contact with base, maybe set up a rendezvous and a pick up point.
He runs over the facts in his mind a where stone arch way in the middle of the sky, now a door, sentinels who aren’t moving and just looking off as if out into nothing. This is not a good situation, he needs more intel, but there doesn’t seem to be anything around other then the door.
He walks up to one of them and looks at them for a moment as they both point to the door. “Where the hell am I, you fools work for Hydra or AIM?” He waits nothing no answers, just still pointing at the door. Bucky pushes a hand through his hair and checks the area again, nothing but the doors and the terracotta esq warriors. Just fucking great.
”Options he thinks to himself. Wait here: Pros: Archway could open again go back out that way. Rescue opp could be coming. Cons: No food or water supply, not good for a long wait, no outside communications with base available.”
He scrubs a hand along his face again and pushes up through his hair, if he went through the door he would be able to figure out where he is. Or at lest he hopes, and maybe set up some form of communication and build a base. It was dicey and unknown but the best way to go in a time like this. He takes in a deep breath and moves for the door.
He really was getting sick of all this Alice in Wonderland Shit that his life had become.
