Not to be outdone by our Ironman, here's a counterpart, not from the same universe, but an AU version of the other big name Avenger. So, Angel Grove, here's your new Captain America, Steve Royama! Steve's history can be found over at his journal, but he's just a kid from Los Angeles who was undersized and sickly at the start of World War Two and eager to prove himself, especially when his heritage as the son of Japanese immigrants got him sent to Topaz Internment Camp in Utah. From there, he still met Erskine, ending up as a candidate in Project Genesis, and then, after tradgedy struck right after the initial experiment, as a lab monkey until he realized Bucky was in trouble and decided to go after his unit, fighting for the first time.
From there on, his story is pretty similar to your basic MCU Cap, and he's coming at you from right after the events involved in Winter Soldier. Basically, he knows what happened to Bucky, has seen him again, and is trying to deal with that.
Steve's experiences are based heavily in history and, in particular, inspired by George Takei's beautiful musical, Allegiance, which tells the story of a family during Internment, a show which stars the amazing Telly Leung, Steve's face! I'm still working on cropping his icons, but they're incoming and he's ready to help with action and everything else!
And my standard MCU Steve is now off, so if anyone's been dying to grab THAT mantle, here's your chance!
