CANON. Marvel 616
DOB/AGE. March 25, 1925. 20.
HEIGHT/WEIGHT. 5′9″, 160lbs
CANONPOINT. c. April, 1945
APPEARANCE. Wavy brown hair, a John Q. Public smile, clothes that might be hip if they weren't so square. Bucky is in superhero shape but isn't particularly tall or thick and could pass for a few years younger than he is. Somehow exudes "America" in his general bearing, this is #canon but idek.
LANGUAGE. Speaks American. Also German, French, and Russian. A fast talker with an expressive face, he will use words like “cripes” unironically. He drops his g's a lot in comics which I don't always write out because it looks silly in text, but one assumes his diction ain't precise.
GESTURES. Bucky typically carries himself with military posture and can probably be recognized as a trained fighter if you're character has that kind of eye. Otherwise, he speaks with his hands and has an expressive face.
SKILLS & ABILITIESGENERAL SKILLS. Can drive a car, motorcycle, or Atlantean sub-marine plane. Possesses an eighth-grade education. Really good at poker. Can probably get you porn.
COMBAT. Bucky is a bonafide genius at fighting, and has been trained by secret comic book military programs that can make you into a super soldier in the space of a couple months. He's an expert hand to hand, with knives, and with most kinds of firearms.
STEALTH. Bucky is, primarily, a scout— his job is to sneak behind enemy lines and clear the way for the cavalry. He's not a KGB assassin (yet) but the basis for the skillset is there.
InventoryCLOTHES.Bucky came in dressed for undercover work in civilian clothing.
GUN. A basic M1911 pistol, standard issue for American troops.
WALLET. Contains a National Registration Identity Card, code B251V, and a letter to his sister he never finished.
1. Comics have recently forgotten this thanks to Sebastian Stan, but his eyes are brown.
