+1 (more) Bucky Barnes!

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Hi all!

My name is Ali-chan and I'm totally new to the game! I bring you an alternate universe version of Bucky Barnes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where Steve's the one who fell off the train in The First Avenger, Bucky took up being Cap after they thought Steve was dead, and now it's early 2014 (pre- his version of Winter Soldier) and Bucky!Cap is working for SHIELD and still thinks Steve is dead. Basically, take everything that happened post-the train scene in First Avenger, swap Steve and Bucky, and that's how it goes. (His history is written up in his app, which I have posted in his journal, if anyone wants more details.)

Basically, he'll know of some of the MCU cast here from his own experiences, but not all of them; he'll be completely unimpressed with being kidnapped in general, but what's a guy to do except gather intel and maybe pick his fights (unlike certain other people he knows). He's also got a Pilot Augment, for what it's worth.

I'll be getting my contact/permissions info up and introing him tonight or this weekend; in the meantime, my plurk is antipositional and I am looking forward to finding this dude some icons playing with you all!

Oh geez. There goes the game ;)

Eeeek! So excited to have you!!!

HAHHAHA so Sansa is gonna be super confused because she's bff with sad raccoon canonical Bucky.

Which means I'm about it.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Excuse u, Steven.

SAME!!! Super-excited to be here~

[passingthrough]

Hey, I know you. Welcome to the game!

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Oh man, yes - I am all about it, too! Bucky is going to be confused/horrified/many other things that there's another version of him here whose life has apparently sucked 3000% percent worse. XD

Welcome to Drift Fleet!

Natasha's not going to know what to do with embarrassment of Barneses.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Hiiiii! And thank you, I can't wait for him to run into Kitty~!

[theladyofwinterfell]

I know, poor Bucky. Bless his little heart.

[theladyofwinterfell]

i feel like embarrassment is the perfect word to describe a collection of buckys

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Thank you!

Hoo boy - well, if anyone can eventually figure it out, I feel like it is Natasha, right? At least this one won't know what she's saying if she wants to gossip in Russian.

[outstandingbalance]

it seemed appropriate, not gonna lie

[theladyofwinterfell]

sansa is just going to sort them into "metal arm = my dear friend," "no metal arm = new friend????"

[passingthrough]

I won't be shy!

[stillgotmyleftarm]

The only positive here is maybe Bucky is exactly the guy needed to help himself recover? Who even knows, but he's gonna try.

[outstandingbalance]

She'll work on it. It's actually kind of cool because before she (or I) were in the game, there was a Cap Bucky and she kind of regretted never getting to meet him.

Gossiping in Russian seems like a solid CR goal.

[outstandingbalance]

Straight forward. I like it.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

This is forever going to be how I describe more than one Bucky.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Ah-hah - well, here's your chance then, Nat!

It does seem like the best kind of gossip.

[unbearablynaive]

Yoooo and welcome!

So slight plot twist, Vision here does remember the last Cap!Bucky we had (this was back in like 2015). We even very briefly had a Winter Soldier Steve. Would it be OK to bring that up or would you rather I avoided it? Either way is fine!

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Hello! 8D

I would be totally fine with him bringing that up, absolutely! The more shenanigans and confusion the better, in my book. XD Definitely cool with that~

[unbearablynaive]

Eeeexcellent.

[sinistral]

He's still trying to convince everyone he doesn't have a heart, lbr

[sinistral]

Well. This is going to be a thing for sure. I'm cautiously nervous to see how it goes from a CR standpoint, but certainly happy to see you in the game!

[theladyofwinterfell]

YOU HAVE A BIG HEART BUCKY BARNES.

[sinistral]

HE BEGS TO DIFFER

or at least to keep it a secret

[stillgotmyleftarm]

I am definitely excited to see where things might go, be they good or bad. (And either is definitely okay with me!)

And very much excited to be here, thank you!
