character information
● name: James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes
● canon: Marvel 616
● canon point: Post-"Who Will Wield The Shield?"
● age: Roughly early-30s. He was born in 1925, and "died" in early 1945, was frozen until 1954, and then was periodically frozen and thawed for varying lengths of time, making his physical age hard to pinpoint.
● (canon) background: @ Marvel Wikia
● abilities:
Bionic Arm: His left arm is bionic and fully integrated into his nervous system. It's Stark and SHIELD tech that functions just like a regular arm, with a few additions. It's super-humanly strong, compared to his real arm, and allows him to throw Captain America's shield around with accuracy and force, a difficult feat for most. It also has an EMP to knock out electronic devices, can discharge electricity, and has a sensory array that will let it and other objects through a metal detector undetected. He can also remove the arm, and it will function independently.
Combat and Espionage: Bucky is a highly trained operative with years of experience in warfare, espionage, and assassination. He knows several forms of hand to hand combat and martial arts, and he's a skilled shield-fighter. He's also skilled with many types of weapons, including firearms, explosives, and throwing knives. He's been trained in acrobatics, stealth, quiet kills, tactics, strategy, and infiltration. He can also pilot most human-made aircrafts, and Atlantean aircrafts (thanks Namor).
Peak Human Conditioning: He isn't superhuman, besides his bionic prosthetic, but his level of fitness, strength, speed, and stamina are all at Olympic athlete levels.
Multilingual: Speaks fluent English, German, Russian, and Japanese, along with a rusty smattering of French.
● strengths:
The thing about James Barnes is that he is determined to be better. He knows he isn't a good man, but he works hard to change that, to deserve his second chance in the world and make up for the terrible things he's done in the past. He's a determined man in general, and will power through a situation to do what he needs to, no matter how difficult it is. You could almost call it stubbornness. He also cares about the greater good, and will get his hands dirty so that other people don't have to. Bucky cares enough to want to spare other people the horrors he went through, making him quite altruistic. He's also very loyal to the few friends he has, and he would do anything for them, even getting himself captured by a villain to try and save his best friend's girl, for no other reason than Steve would want him to. At odds with his serious demeanor, Bucky has a soft spot, for strays, and for teenagers who need guidance. He shows this when he sits down to talk with Eli Bradley about the first Patriot, and in later canon when he takes in an alien pet. For everything he has been through and done in his life, he is a resilient man who wants to make the world better, who wants to live up to the expectations of him, who wants to be good.
● weaknesses:
Bucky's weaknesses have to do a lot with his traumas. He is reckless and impulsive, he doesn't always think things through, tactically speaking, especially if his emotions get the best of him. He jumps into traps and puts himself in danger with only half-baked plans, at best. He doesn't care much about his own safety, as long as others are out of the way, and at times will even take the path of more resistance (and more physical pain). This is because he lives with the heavy weight of guilt and self-loathing on his shoulders for the crimes he's been forced to commit as the Winter Soldier. There is a lot of blood on his hands, and Bucky comes off as if he doesn't believe that he deserves to still be alive. He holds himself responsible for all the carnage, and it drives a lot of his self-destructive behavior and general lack of self-worth. When he's feeling low, he'll run right into danger and take more of a beating than he technically has to, because he feels like he deserves the pain. Bucky is also angry, has been angry since he was a child orphaned by the misfortune. He would constantly pick fights with bigger kids, and was honestly a bit of a bully. That anger hasn't really gone away, it's only been redirected and put to use by the Army, distilled into raw combat skill. Nowadays, he's angry about what he's done, what he's been through, the awful things that people still continue to do to innocent civilians. His temper can make him lose his head at times.

Alternate universes aren't a strange concept where I come from, but has anyone else ever dealt with an alternate timeline? Where events happened differently to what you know, or that version of you had a different relationship to someone important than you did?
[He won't admit that this sort of thing is throwing him for a loop. But, there are more important things to discuss. Bucky gets to the point.]
Back to business, the scientists need soil samples from past the fence. I'm signing up, but I need another couple of people to go with to make it a full mission party. At least someone who knows how to take soil samples. Apparently it ain't just coming back with a box of dirt.
