A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: First, Last (Western order) Sharon Carter
Canon: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Age: 28
Timeline: Post-The Winter Soldier
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:
One of the most used quotes of Sharon, from canon, is that she is not the kind of person to choose love over duty. While that is a quote from the comics and I am taking her from the cinematic universe, I think this still applies to her in this version. She takes her job seriously and doesn’t let anyone distract her. With that being said, she is a strong and brave person. Most importantly, she has high morals and she is a realist. She doesn’t take people’s words at face value. She is a skeptic which helps her not to be fooled by her enemies. She challenges Director Pierce in The Winter Soldier when orders were given that Captain America was considered an enemy.

She is fiercely loyal and determined. Some would say she is stubbornly determined. She will not sway from following her moral compass. It can be good or bad depending if you want Sharon to be on your side. Because she has a strong sense of duty in serving her country like her aunt, she is a good agent in SHIELD. But she doesn’t blindly follow orders as she demonstrated when she challenged Director Pierce. When Rumlow ordered her to stand down, she didn’t. She stood her ground because she was following what she believed was right.

Sharon has hard angles to her which she uses as armor. When played against Steve’s idealism she can come off as overly pessimistic, but that’s only one side of her character. As I already stated she is fiercely loyal and loves sparingly, but deeply. Her Aunt Peggy is her greatest inspiration. She draws her strength from herself and her own abilities. She pushes herself forward and doesn’t back down because she doesn’t think she can do it. She’s an analytic thinker and a harsh opponent, but if she’s on your side she won’t ever disappoint you.

Background: Sharon’s Movie wiki

Abilities: She is highly trained in martial arts, espionage, firearms, and computers.

Not sure if anyone can see this, but I need some answers. I’d like to know how I arrived in this place. [mumbles] Wherever this place is. Any information on trying to get home would be helpful, specifically to the D.C. area.

[She started examining the pocket watch she was recording with a bit more closely.] Interesting piece of tech that I have here... [Sharon made a mental note to give this a thorough examination later.] I’d appreciate any information anyone can offer me. Thank you.

Thank you for your application. At this time, we would like to ask for a revision before we consider it for acceptance.

Specifically, we would like to see revisions to the personality section of your application. While what you have supplied is accurate, we would like to see more details about your character's personal flaws and negative personality traits.

Feel free to submit your revisions any time before the next app round, and they will be processed ASAP!

Sharon has a few personality weaknesses. She is private and can come across as withdrawn. Sharon will repress her feelings or keep them internalized. She doesn’t want to expose herself to others, and it’s a way to protect herself. Some people may think of her logical and private demeanor as insensitive because she can get caught up in her logic and will forget emotional consideration.

She also can get wrapped up in her work that she will forget her own health. She wouldn’t make a mistake that would get her killed, but she would do small things like skipping meals or losing sleep because she is so involved in her work. She can overload herself with her expectations to be a good agent like her aunt. She looks up to her Aunt Peggy after hearing her stories from the war, and Sharon wants to live up to her Aunt’s legacy.

Sharon can be very stubborn and it takes a lot for her to change her opinion. Usually the situation needs to reach a breaking point or the strong personality of a loved one before she will change her mind.
