Hi everyone, I'm Rebecca and right now I'm bringing in Steve Rogers from Marvel 616, who is probably my favourite character to play of all time. His canon point is the end of Secret Empire which is the weird Hydra!Cap storyline, but given that he was brainwashed for most of that, he only really remembers the restart of the universe, up until Pleasant Hill.

Personality-wise, Steve is similar to his MCU counterpart, but not the same. He's been in the future since the early 1990s, so he's more well-adjusted, and more grounded in his modern life. He isn't as wistful or nostalgic as MCU Cap. He's also been an on-again-off-again Avenger for decades, so he's settled into his work, his team is like his family, and he's learned and grown a lot as a leader over the years.

That said, Steve is stoic. He's friendly but emotionally unavailable and unlikely to open to anyone besides his closest inner circle, part of this is because he's got a lot of wartime (and by wartime I mean ALL the wars: WWII, Secret Invasion, Civil War, Secret Wars, Disassembled, AvX) trauma he's never worked through. The other part of that is the fact that Steve kind of recognises that, at least where he comes from, he's a symbol that represents something. Steve knows that what Captain America represents is important to a lot of people, and a lot of work that the Avengers do; because of that he has a hard time letting people see the person behind the stars and stripes.

Waking up in a random dimension is like something he does all the time, and he's also familiar with the concepts of multiverses, so he'll probably adjust quickly enough.

I'm up for either threads or netposts or whatever. And I'm thinking of potential other characters to bring in :D :D

Some things came up and I was away from the computer for a few days. Nothing tragic, it's resolved now.

I should be good to go for playing, if anyone wants Jughead for anything! I think for my own sake and sanity I'm going to clear out my inbox and start fresh. I would love to get a scene or two going for him!

Hey, guys. I'm Anna, introducing 616 Tony Stark.

In terms of basic background, he's pretty similar to his MCU counterpart, but there are some key differences. For one, he's been Iron Man since he was 19, and he actually kept up that "secret identity" thing for more than half of that time. He's been out to the public since shortly before the 616 Civil War -- which he doesn't really remember and wouldn't like to talk about. He's also younger than MCU Tony -- he's 36 -- but he's been doing this a long time, and he's pretty world-weary and VERY hard to surprise. His tech is similar to MCU Tony's, but more ridiculous. And tanks to his weird repulser node tech, his brain is basically magic.

He's also a recovering alcoholic. He's been sober for the last six years or so without a substantial relapse storyline, except that weird one where his brain got turned inside out, which probably doesn't count.

And, although he and Steve fight a lot, in the comics, they actually sort of care about each other and wouldn't call the other one out of retirement, get them killed in front of their wife and adopted child, then retire from the superhero business and steal their life while doing apparently nothing to prevent any of that from happening. (Thanks, End Game.)

New universe, new you is basically the title of Tony's self-published self-help book, so he's used to this kind of thing and is happy to help. Or take a vacation, because god knows he needs one.

As for me, I work pretty long hours and my schedule can be unpredictable. i'm happy to write with anyone, and I'm good at keeping up with network posts, but I tend to be a pretty slow long-form tagger. If you need me for anything and I don't seem to be responding, please feel free to drop me a link! I never ignore people on purpose, but sometimes I do miss things.
