CHARACTER Name: Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America Canon: Marvel Universe – Film Verse Timeline: Just after the conclusion of the Avengers film. If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: Not applicable!
Personality: Steve Rogers is nothing if not determined and driven. Born to a poor Irish immigrant family on July 4, 1920, he suffered a great many physical ailments while he grew up, which left him physically weakened and sickly. He was scrawny and frail, but when the United States entered World War II in the winter of 1941, none of this mattered. He began to enlist at every enlistment station he could find, hoping that he could be accepted. Despite false names and pleading with those conducting his physicals, he was denied each time the chance to serve his country. It was this humility, this determination, and the gumption to stand up to bullies despite his physical restrictions that made him catch the eye of Dr. Abraham Erskine. Erskine was searching for the right man to try his top secret Super Soldier Serum on, but it had to be a special man; a man whose traits were good, noble, and honorable. The serum would not only amplify the chosen man’s physical attributes, but also all the traits that made him who he was.
Sickly asthmatic Steve endured a grueling boot camp, using his wit and intelligence where he had no muscle to manage to put himself ahead of the rest of the more physically capable men. Even when he as chosen, he maintained the humble idea that he was just a kid from New York, despite the fact that he had earned this chance himself.
When Dr. Erskine is killed by HYDRA agents, Steve takes the murder personally, and does everything he can to successfully track down the assassin. Despite this deed, he is forced to endure humiliation as a member of a USO show, in which he enjoys grand success on the home front, but at the army camps in Europe, he falls short. When he finds out that his best friend Bucky is captive behind enemy lines, Captain Rogers goes against his orders and has Howard Stark air drop him into Austrian territory. He infiltrates the prison and liberates the prisoners single-handedly, and brings every single one of them back to camp to much applause. However, he openly offers himself to his commanding officer for a reprimand, willing to accept punishment for going against his superior.
He is even willing to sacrifice his life to save others by crashing a HYDRA ship into the Artic so that it does not detonate over US civilian targets. His last words were to the woman he loved, promising to meet her for a date so she could teach him to dance. That dance never came to be.
Steve awoke in 2011, found by agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who were tracking down the Tesseract, a mystical cube that was a self-sustaining energy source. He has been forced to adapt to a world seventy years removed from the one he remembers, without anything familiar from his life before.
Steve has a strong sense of justice and honor, even if that sense of justice may put him on the opposite side of the established law. He believes in the sanctity of life and humanity, and has a great deal of respect for those around him, though at times, that respect has to be earned. He is a patriot and a soldier; the ideal of the old-fashioned hero. He has a sense of humility and innocence; certainly a man of a bygone era trying to come to terms with a new world that he has been thrust into. He perseveres, despite the hardships he is faced with, and emerges as a true and just leader.
