Captain America

Background
Steve Rogers grew up in the 1920's and 1930's in Brooklyn, New York. Steve Rogers was frail and shy man that had no family in the opening days of World War II. The Pearl Harbor attack leads Steve Rogers to try to join the U.S. Army like many of the young men of his generation. He was branded F4, unacceptable, by his local draft board. That would have been the end of his story if not for General Chester Philips, who overheard Steve's desire to become an America Soldier. General Philips convinced Steve Rogers to become part of Dr. Abraham Erskine's super soldier program.

Steve Roger was in the middle of the super soldier process when a Nazi spy broke into Dr. Erskine's lab. In the moment Dr. Erskine's super soldier program became a success transforming Steve into the peak of human ability, Dr. Erskine was killed by the spy's bullet. The good doctor took part of his super soldier formula making Steve Roger one of a kind.

Steve Rogers was trained to be the ultimate soldier. Then he was given a patriotic uniform to rally the American soldiers as Captain America. He was partnered with Bucky Barnes, a young man, trained to assist Captain America. Steve fought the evil agents of Axis, Baron Blood, Baron Zemo, Warrior Woman, and Powerman. But his biggest battles were with the Red Skull. But it wasn't like Captain America wasn't with allies in the form of Nick Fury and his Hollowing commando along with the invaders.

It was during the closing days of the war that Cap and Buck were fighting Baron Zemo with a plan to blow up Washington D.C. with a rocket from a base in Greenland. Captain America and Bucky couldn't stop Zemo from launching the rocket but hitched a ride on it trying to disarm the rocket. Steve lost grip and fell to the ice waters of the North Atlantic, the last thing he saw was his friend Bucky exploding with the rocket.

Thanks to the super soldier serum in his veins, Captain America was trapped in suspended animation. The years would fly by for Steve Rogers as he slumbered frozen in ice. The world would come to remember him as a hero, a legend bigger than the man himself.

In late 2009, a group of scientist studying the icebergs around Greenland discovered the frozen body of Steve Roger while using research submarines. Upon reporting their discoveries, a team of Shield team about the U.S. Navy Submarine Los Angeles was dispatched to recover the body. Aboard the submarine, Steve Rogers began to revive. By the time the recovery team made it way back to the helicarrier, Rogers was fully recovered. He's spent the next 6 months becoming familiar with the world and how it's changed. Now a man without a time, the hero has loose ties with Shield but chooses to act on his own. The world at large doesn't know he's back but that's all about to change.

Personality
Steve Rogers is an artist. He was an art student before he tried to volunteer for the army. Though it not something Captain America get to do often but when he gets a chance, he draws and paints. He loves to visit art exhibits and galleries. Though he does not speak about it often or shows off his art as, well it just not something most people would expect from Captain America.

Being brave is being so scared of something, someone, or some idea that they must something to stop it. That is how Captain America feels about being brave. He feels that he must always do something, whatever it takes to protect his country, and its people. That's what drives Captain America as a hero and his resolve not to give up. He knows he has the power and ability that he must always act without concerned for him self. In all truth what drives Cap is his fear is, "that all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing." It is this that will always drive Cap to be the first to fight, the last to go home, and never give an inch.

Captain America is a patriot. Words and phrases like Freedom, Liberty, Justice, Land of Prosperity, and the America Dream are not just buzz words to him, they are his core values. Cap believes in these things are worth protecting from anyone that challenges them.

For Captain America, 1945 was yesterday. He still has the core values of that time and taste. He loves big band music and Jazz. His speech is slightly out of date. He opens doors for women. He is more apt to stand up for a friend's honor or his own. He doesn't understand modern movements. He may move past these things and become more modern but Captain America will always be a man out of 1945.

Captain America is that values loyalty and friendship. These things are not to be handed out lightly but once have, Cap will come to a friends aid and side with them without question. He is always quick with his aid. Cap is slow to identify a betrayal and always giving his friend the benefit of the doubt time and time again.

Captain America does not see the world in the shades of grey. He lives in a world of black and white. There are good and there is evil. The shades of grey exist only when one side does something out of character to achieve it's goals. Though good must always watch it deeds for no matter the intentions, good can go down a slippery slope to corruption. As some one who believes the ends do not justify the means he will not willingly go along with something he sees as wrong just because it seems the simple answer to accomplish something. There is no sacrifice the one to save the many. Cap will find a way to save them all.
