Physical Description: Steve Rogers is your average all American male. He doesn't dress in flashy clothes and he looks rather nice in plaid. He's six foot with blondeish brown hair that is usually combed to the side. He has bright blue eyes and tries to maintain a very neat and well kept appearance. He's usually sporting a derpy grin or something along those lines. Steve's appearance is all because of the super soldier serum though. Sometimes he feels out of sorts because of it.

Character History (Pre-Veil): Steve's History

Post Veil History: One year ago Steve popped through with no memories of Bucky, Peggy and the Howling Commandos. He had no idea he was supposed to be hunting Bucky, but he does remember most everything else. Steve immediately went to make his own life there by blending into the population. Recently Steve was out doing his secret hero thing when he was approached by Jack Chessing. Jack is the one to recruit Steve into the Knights and has whisked him off to join up. A justice bromance was created.

Chosen Canon Point: Post Avengers of Ultron

Personality and Psychology: Steve Rogers is probably one of the most genuine people that you will meet. Steve has always been willing to put his life on the line and this was before he was durable and at the top of human performance. He has a big heart that always has him putting other people before him. He's always chosen to protect people and perhaps that's why he uses a shield. Steve doesn't have blasters like Tony or a hammer like Thor. He doesn't have arrows like Clint. Steve Rogers will put himself in the line of fire for anyone if they need his help. Steve doesn't just believe in being patriotic for the sake of being patriotic. He believes in serving his country and doing what's right because it's the right thing to do. The right thing has always been something that's Steve believed in since his father served in the first World War.

He reacts incredibly harshly to those who abuse power or try to manipulate people below them. A lot of men from his time went to war hoping to prove something to themselves or those around them. Steve Rogers went to war because Hitler's gross misuse of power hit home with him. Bullies have never been something he's been able to tolerate. He's always tried to protect people and himself from bullies (even though he wasn't ever successful growing up). It's because of this honest spirit that he was even considered for the super soldier project. Steve proved himself in training time and time again, but the big hit came when Colonel Phillips threw a dummy grenade at the soldiers. They were exercising and many of them scattered for cover, but Steve threw his small body onto the grenade to shield the others from the blast without knowing it wasn't live. He yelled for people to stand back. Steve never needed super powers to fight and protect, but they are an added bonus.

Steve has always had trouble with women. As a small man who would get sick or hurt at the drop of the hat not many women were interested in him. He talks about standing on the sidelines constantly at dance halls because he was too afraid to talk to women because of his lack of coordination. He was content to sit on the side and watch his best friend go after them. Steve maintains this tongue tied nature even after the serum changes his physical appearance. He often has issues talking to Peggy in a romantic situation and gets flustered when women openly flirt with him during his USO tour. It's seen again when the female soldier comes onto him. Steve isn't sure how to take the attention and winds up cornered. He respects women a great deal and is constantly calling them ma'am despite if they're in the military or not. Men get the title of sir unless he's friends with them like the Howling Commandos.

His overall personality basically stays the same, but Steve does a get bit more world weary when he is broken out of the ice. He's lost all of his friends and it's put a strain on him. He keeps busy by working out and sketching, but it's hard for Steve to forget a life that wasn't so long ago for him. The world changed so quickly and he wasn't sure how to play catch-up. The world is more cynical than he remembers it and people act so different. No one seems genuine about anything and they all seem to worship sarcasm and attitude. Steve is visibly upset when he learns that SHIELD has been making weapons to use against Thor and his in case they come down to cause problems again. The government he remembers wasn't this secretive. He's constantly irritated by Tony Stark's look at me behavior and comments that Tony Stark wouldn't know a true sacrifice if it hit him in the face.

Steve Rogers will do the right thing because it's the right thing and not because he gets something out of it. He'll sink a plane with himself in it into the ocean if it means saving millions of people. He'll lay his body down on a grenade to protect a handful of mean. Steve Rogers is a hero and is respected by a large number of people in SHIELD. Steve is also a military man and will most likely always following a commanding officers order. He follows the orders given to him after the serum project where he's put on a USO tour. Despite the fact that it's an underuse of his abilities Steve doesn't complain. He only defies orders when Bucky needs him. Steve follows Fury's orders in the Avengers until he starts to suspect that he's not being told the whole truth.

Loyalty is a big thing for Steve Rogers. If he considers you a friend or an ally then he'll always come to your aid. When he gets word of Bucky's unit being overrun there is no power that can stop him. He's determined to walk there until Peggy offers to help him. He's willing to take a million risks after Erskine is shot and killed. He runs after the attacker without knowing how the serum has changed him and if it's all just cosmetic or did it really happen. He chases the man down because he shot and killed someone that Steve considered to be a friend. Though it's incredibly probable that Steve would do this for any human being that needed his help.

Memories Retained or Lost: Steve no longer remembers Bucky, Peggy or the Howling Commandos. He remembers his time the war and what he did, but those people are gone for Steve. He doesn't realize that he's supposed to be hunting Bucky either.

Powers and Abilities:

Super Soldier Abilities

Peak Human Strength: Steve's physical strength is enhanced to the very peak of human potential. His strength is among the most displayed of his Super Soldier abilities. After his transformation and after running Kruger down and chasing him to his escape mini-sub, he punched through the solid glass of Kruger's mini-sub and threw him out of it and back onto the docks in one throw. During his USO tour, he was able to lift a motorcycle with two dancers sitting on top of it. While escaping the HYDRA facility when he went on his first solo mission and after Bucky got across one of the metal bearings before it collapsed, near the stairs before he leapt over to where Bucky was at, he bend an section of the railing to make space. On his last mission to attack the final HYDRA base, he threw an HYDRA trooper into the air and threw one out of the hangar bay of the Red Skull's plane. Additionally, upon his surprise awakening in the hospital room set, he was about to be approached by two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, but proceeded to throw them through the set wall. While working out his frustration of his reawakening by beating a punching bag he delivered a powerful blow that took it off its hook. A combination of his strength, his shield and his hand-to-hand combat skills made him an devastating opponent to HYDRA troopers who tried to attack him. When Steve battled Loki in Germany, he was able to land heavy hits, however the hits barely stunned the evil god. He was able to break a secure door open on the Helicarrier by simply pushing on it. A combination of his strength, combat skills and shield enable him to tear through Chitauri foot soldiers with ease. He was able to get Black Widow onto an Chitauri airship by an combination of her running start onto an nearby car and then onto Cap's shield and then he throws her up into the air and enabling her to get onto one. While in the elevator, Steve was able overpower nearly a dozen men, all of them skilled combatants, even both Rumlow and Rollins. Steve was also able to pull himself away from the immense magnetic force applied on his hand by the magnetic lock. Steve was also able to support massive pieces of concrete debris to save Natasha and himself, from being crushed. Then on-board The Helicarrier a wounded Steve was still able to lift a massive metal support beam, that easily weighed near 800-900 pounds, to save Bucky. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Steve able to throw a moving motorcycle at a jeep, when he led the Avengers on a assault at Baron Wolfgang von Strucker's base. Later, Steve and the Avengers engaged in a violent battle with Ultron and Iron Legion that eventually came out victorious and Ultron's first form was destroyed. In Seoul, Steve battle with Ultron using his shield in an intense fight. Steve was able to toss Ultron through a concrete pillar.

Peak Human Durability: Steve's bones and muscles are denser and harder than normal, which makes him very durable compared to a normal human. He has survived full on combat with Red Skull on two occasions, during the last confrontation between the two, Skull hit him with his own shield and showed no signs of being hurt. He was able to withstand Loki throwing him around in the square without injuries. When he was thrown out of the second story window of a bank and landed on top of a car, he was able to get up quickly and continue fighting. Not even a blast from Chitauri weapon was able to put him out of action, though it was mostly due to his protective costume and he did go down long enough to require Thor's protection. Steve was able to dive out of a Quinjet without a parachute into open water. Later, Steve was blasted through a city bus by the Winter Soldier's grenade launcher and walked away unscathed. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Steve was blasted by Wanda Maximoff telekinetic hex bolts, able to take of both Iron Man's repulsors and Ulron's concussion Blasts without damage.

Peak Human Speed: Steve can run and move at speeds that are far superior to the finest Olympic athlete. Upon his transformation and after Kruger killed Erskine, he gave chase to Kruger, easily keeping up with him, showing he can run at speeds of up to approximately 30 miles per hour with ease (48 kilometer per hour), and could probably run a mile in little over a minute when under duress (which would roughly be a little less than 60 miles per hour). He was able to cover at least several blocks quickly during the attack in New York and dodge Chitauri attacks and return back to Barton and Romanoff to help them in under what seems to be at least 7-10 minutes. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson stated that Steve ran 13 miles in 30 minutes, during their first encounter.

Peak Human Stamina: Steve's musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. Steve's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles, granting him indefinite endurance and lung capacity. As seen in the movie, Steve could catch up with Kruger's mini-sub while swimming under water. As mentioned, he was able to go several blocks to reach police officers and back to help Hawkeye and Black Widow and looked like he didn't broke a sweat or wasn't tired at all. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, after a morning run, Sam Wilson was completely exhausted with intense panting and sweating but Steve did not sweat a drop nor even panted. Steve was later tasered by Rumlow, shot and stabbed by Bucky, but he kept on fighting them.

Peak Human Senses: Steve's senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are all enhanced to the very peak of human potential. He also has a perfect pitch and can notice all sorts of sounds and smells. He also can see farther than any human with perfect clarity.

Peak Human Agility: Steve's agility is greater than that of an Olympic gold medalist. He can instinctively coordinate his body with perfect balance, equilibrium, flexibility, and dexterity. He can leap 50 yards out in a single bound and 20 ft into the air without a running start, which he displayed while chasing after Kruger, clearing an large fence in one leap. Also, while the first HYDRA base exploding, Steve leaped to the other side to reach Bucky. He was able to leap around up to a catwalk in an storage room on the Helicarrier and was able to leap back and forward in the damaged section of one of the Helicarrier's engines. Also, he leaped off the bridge on to the top of a bus and then on top of a car and land on the ground while dodging Chitauri attacks. Also, he leaped over a car with a simple running move and another car with a parkour-type move and didn't lose any momentum. Steve was able to chase after Bucky through an office building with amazing parkour moves.

Peak Human Reflexes: Steve's reflexes is enhanced to the very peck of human potential. Steve was able to take down multiple HYDRA agents in a confined elevator. His auto-reflexes allow him to easily dodge gunfire and attacks even when not consciously aware of them, his immense reflexes can be used to attack and counter instead of just defensive purposes.

Peak Human Mental Process: Steve's mental performance has been greatly enhanced to the very peak of human potential. Allowing his mind to operate in the most efficient and rapid manner possible, one manifestation of this is his leadership and tactical genius; the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to any changing tactical situations, by creating perfect winning strategies rapidly. Steve possess perfect memory was able to precisely and accurately replicate the locations of all HYDRA bases on a map, despite "only getting a glance." Though not a super-genius like Tony Stark or Bruce Banner, he is able to instantly learn anything, Steve can memorize, understand and recall all kinds of information and skills to a limitless volume. In The Avengers, even with his limited knowledge of modern technology, Steve was still able to help Tony repair the Helicarrier and saved it from crashing, or when he quickly gave the Avengers and the first responders their jobs to minimize and contain the damage from the invasion.

Peak Human Healing: Steve's healing speed and efficiency is at the highest limits of human potential, which means he can heal faster than any human. His healing prevents him from getting sick, poisoned or drunk making him immune to all diseases and protect him while frozen. Any and all injuries will heal rapidly and perfectly without leaving a trace of injury. When Steve regained consciousness from his nearly seven-decade "sleep", the serum completely restored his exceptional capabilities. He displayed various cuts during the Battle of New York, after the battle, Steve seems to fully heal and no longer displayed the wounds of battle. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve was shot multiple times by Bucky on-board the Project Insight and than brutally hit by his bionic arm, Steve was able to recover within a few days.

Peak Human Aging: Steve Rogers was frozen in ice for nearly 70 years before awakening in the 21st century. It is theorized that the serum halts Rogers' aging due to extensively healthy cells.

Other Abilities

Indomitable Will: Steve is an extremely dedicated person. Despite being physically weak and small he still tried to enlist in the Army, before being rejected due to his poor health and physical condition. Even after he became a "Super Soldier" instead of fighting the enemy, Steve was used to inspire the American solders. That is until he heard that the 107th battalion including Bucky where captured in a nearby HYDRA facility he went behind enemy lines and rescue them. After he rescued the imprisoned soldiers Steve was finally put into active duty. But after Bucky supposed death he went into a depression feeling that it was his fault. But after talking with Peggy and when it came down to stopping HYDRA once and for all, he found the strength to finish it. However, upon being awakening from the Arctic and found that the world had changed and gone on without him, he once again went into a depression. However, due to striking a friendship with both Coulson, who is his greatest fan and Romanoff, who was friendly with him when they met on the deck of the Helicarrier, he slowly but surely started to come back around. It is only when called back to action does Steve fully find the strength once again do what needs to be done. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve discover that his long thought dead best friend Bucky, who he saw fall from Zola's train is now a HYDRA master assassin known as The Winter Soldier. And that HYDRA has secretly operated within S.H.I.E.L.D. for decades, sowing chaos across the world in the hope that humanity would willingly surrender its freedom in exchange for safety. They plan to use the new helicarriers, created for Project: Insight, would sweep across the country, eliminating these individuals with their satellite-guided guns. Steve, Sam and Maria Hill, break into the Triskelion and take control of the helicarriers with microphones. They tell the staff that there are traitors in S.H.I.E.L.D and that Alexander Pierce is one of them and that they cannot initiate Project Insight.They manage to put the chips in the helicarriers, but when Sam is going for the last one his jet-pack is damaged by the Bucky and he is forced to skydive down to the Triskelion where he gets caught up in a fist fight with Rumlow. Steve is force to fight Bucky he tries to convince Bucky that they are best friends. As he tries to get the chip in place with only seconds left before Project Insight will initiate he gets shot multiple times by Bucky. Steve managed to put the chip in place and Maria take control of the other helicarriers which caused the helicarriers to target each other, and the assault soon had all three falling from the sky. Bucky became trapped under debris cause by the barrage, yet Steve still took the risk to rescue him. As soon as he was free however, he attacked again. Steve refused to fight against his best friend, and let himself be brutally beaten instead. But before Bucky could deliver the killing blow, Captain America told him that he would be with him until the end, a promise that Bucky had given Steve decades before. Steve falls into the water beneath and is about to drown when Bucky grabs him out and then disappears.

Master Combatant: Steve Rogers has mastered numerous martial arts boxing, and maybe some other forms of martial arts. (It is more than like he probably learned from some of the members of the Howling Commandos). Nonetheless, as stated above, a combination of his strength, his shield and his training has made Captain America a formidable combatant. After the Battle of New York, Steve further advance his fighting prowess, mastering modern fighting styles and techniques.

Master Shield Fighter: Over time of training and experience with his unique shield, as well as its physical properties, allow him to accomplish amazing feats with the item. Aside from bashing foes and blocking incoming attacks, he is able to throw it with nearly perfect aim. Steve can hit multiple targets with the same throw by means of ricochet, and could even achieve a boomerang-like return effect, allowing him to strike enemies from behind or retrieve the shield without objects to ricochet from. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve was able to use his shield in taking down multiple pirates on board, a pirate-hijacked S.H.I.E.L.D ship.

Advanced Tactician and Strategist: Steve is an accomplished strategist. He is able to formulate battle strategies and his brilliant tactical sense allows him to alter any strategy to fit the changing need of the situation. A prime example is when he formulated the plan to go in first by himself in "the front door" of Skull's hidden base and then after they bring him in, the assault team and then the full force of the SSR came in. His tactical brilliance also came into play during the Chitauri assault on New York, first in organizing first responders to protect the civilian population, and then re-deploying other members of The Avengers to best defend the city with their limited resources (even the usually anti-authoritarian Tony Stark recognizes Steve's tactical abilities and accepts his assignment).

Advanced Military Operator: Steve is well-versed in all Armed force disciplines including intelligence gathering, escape arts, demolition, survival tactics, swimming, mountaineering, march or drill skills, map making, map reading, communication systems and vehicles used in armed forces.

Expert Marksman: Steve can throw most projectile weaponry with great aim and is well-versed in the use of firearms like the military-issued Colt 1911 or the Tommy Gun during WWII and eventually modern firearms, picking up an assault rifle and using with ease. While he knew how to use the modern assault rifle, he was not use to it or as skilled with it as a hand gun. This caused him to constantly miss his targets each time he fires and even slip from the platform he was on, forcing him to grab a wire to stay on the ship when caught in a hail of gunfire from the men that he was fighting on the Helicarrier.

Expert Vehicular Operator: Steve is proficient in driving motorcycles and piloting various aircraft such as one of the bomber/jet planes and the Red Skull's plane.

Multilingual: Steve is capable of speaking languages other than English. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, during a rescue mission, Steve was able to understand Georges Batroc.

Expert Sketch Artist: Steve enjoys drawing and does so with his free time. He even adds humor and irony to his drawings as he sketched himself as a monkey in the original Captain America uniform.

Excellent Stealthiness: Steve was able to sneak around the HYDRA base where Bucky was held and was able to sneak around the Helicarrier, regardless of the surveillance.
