Background
Born to poor Irish parents Sarah and Joseph on July 4th of 1920, Steve Rogers spent his childhood dealing with the consequences of poor health. However, he never let his smaller size and lack of endurance get the better of him. The scrappy youngster found a friend in Bucky Barnes and they were rarely found apart, especially when Steve lost his father as a child and then his mother as an older teenager. From his experiences in childhood as being a perpetual target of bullying, as well as the loss of his parents, there stemmed a self-reliance and staunch belief in standing up for the downtrodden of society.
World War II and the actions of the Nazis horrified him and though his health kept him from following his friends into the ranks of the Armed forces, an offer from a scientist recognizing greatness within invited Steve to be exposed to the Super-Soldier Serum. Successful results brought the young man to peak health and physical capability. Missions along the front lines sent him into collision with the secret science division of the Nazi regime and thus, revealed that Steve was not the only powerful human within the world’s military factions. He spread righteous fear in the wake of his patriotic costume and signature vibranium shield.
Coming to blows with a powerful villain left him entombed in ice as the only available action to save America from a devastating weapon. There Steve slept in a form of cryogenic rest until recovered by SHIELD.
Time has passed, the world has changed, and while Steve has been acclimating well, old memories still haunt…and some simply won’t die.
Notes
- Change of player in February 2018, in-game February 1965.
Traits
- Super-Soldier Serum: Via this infusion, Steve has attained peak human potential for his entire physiology, from inherent physical strength to endurance and beyond.
- Strength: Able to press-lift up to 800 lbs and jump 20 ft with a running start, his power extends to other actions as well. Throwing his signature shield has been powerful enough to disable tanks and a steel door means little in the face of a well-placed kick.
- Agility and Reflexes: Able to run at sustained speeds of 30mph and double this in short bursts, Steve is also able to dodge bullets when given the opportunity. His evasive abilities have saved him multiple times in the past, both by avoiding damage and offensively attacking a foe.
- Durability and Stamina: The serum strengthened his musculature and bones enough to the point that very little bothers him in a scrum. This grants him near-superhuman resistance to damages such as explosions and high-impact landings. A metal baseball bat would do little damage, even if swung with comparable strength; the bat might even bend in reaction to impact. His metabolism has increased to the point that fatigue is a hard state for him to reach and he has not aged a day since his infusion.
- Healing: The serum's effects grant Steve an immunity to Earthly diseases as well as a resistance to being drugged, poisoned, hypnotized, or becoming intoxicated. That last one is a shame sometimes.
- Mental and Sensory Acuity: Already prone to analytical thought patterns, eidetic memory and accelerated efficiency of thought processing allows Steve to be an incomparable tactician on the battlefield.
