Hi everyone. My name is Kei and I live in a weird timezone at the start of the world. I've been on an RP break for a few months but I'm feeling more settled in my new role at work so I'm bringing back one of my longtime fave characters, literally-any-version-of Sam Wilson. This one is 616 from just after the second Civil War storyline, before *ugh* HYDRA Cap. Sam is still Captain America but he's fairly close to rage quitting - most of the public hates him for being political while black, a bunch of people have just died or been put into comas, a kid he was looking out for got framed and sent to jail, and he's in the process of ghosting on his fledgling (heh) relationship with Misty. He's kind of Done With This Shit and just plain tired.

When he's in a better mood though he's pretty friendly and funny. He's a total extrovert with a bit of a compulsion to look after people and he's been around for about 15 years since he first met Steve, so even though he was never actually a huge part of the Avengers until recently he's pretty well-known, if only for his 100% completely platonic (like, actually) relationship with Steve.

Fun trivia: Sam is one of the only Avengers who's never died, but he makes up for it by being way too familiar with every bird joke you could possibly make.

Hi Kei!

I'm Grace and I have four kidlets here.

This guy, Bucky Barnes, is the MCU version but he's got a lot of love for his BFF Sam that he won't admit to. He'll be shocked by the Cap situation and have questions. He's coming from point in Infinity War where they're gearing up to battle so he was probably just with his version of Sam a few minutes before he arrived. We should have them meet up soon!

I also have Remus Lupin (

lonewolfen) from the Harry Potter books. He's coming from a handful of months after the First War, very jaded, but getting better having been around his friends (well, one is now gone, but the other is still here). He's generally pretty polite, has a sharp wit, and would be kind to Sam.

Next is Thor (MCU) who is coming from literally right when Thanos snapped his fingers. He is a very sad boy. Like, slipping into PTSD but has no idea it's happening. He kind of goes between shouting in CAPSLOCK on the Net out of merriment and slipping into brooding moods when he's alone. He doesn't know his version of Sam that well but generally like likes the Bird Man -- yes, he'll probably call him that.

Last but definitely not least, I have Gwen Stacy aka Spider-Woman aka Spider-Gwen from Earth 65. She's coming in from a botched mission to recruit a Peter Parker from the multiverse who died trying to protect her. After already losing her own Peter Parker back home. She's got some issues, but overall she's really a pretty nice person. Sarcastic and sassy, but always ready to help anyone with anything. In her world, Captain America is Samantha Wilson and she is one of the few people in her world who actually likes Spider-Woman and vouches for her being a good person so she'll definitely like Sam. And want to be his friend.

Phew, that was a lot. Let's write together soon!

The BFFness is way more explicitly acknowledged in the comics ever since that time when Bucky tried to kill Tony Stark and then Sam ended up babysitting him for a few months. GOOD TIMES. IIRC at Sam's canon point Bucky is either leading the Thunderbolts or in space, but they've seen each other pretty recently.

I'm super looking forward to confusing Thor though because Sam's Avengers team has Lady Thor on it!

I seem to recall Sam being her own sidekick in 65 too lol.

And I used to be in HP fandom so Remus is cool!
