This is something that has slipped recently, and we need to try to get back on track. We’d like for everyone involved in the RP to continue posting at least two open para’s per week. We understand that everyone in the RP is busy, and that sometimes life gets in the way, so if you honestly feel as though two open topics a week is too difficult, talk to us and we’ll work something out. This is a no pressure situation, we’d just like to try and cultivate an environment where people feel as though they can approach someone in a low stress situation.
As an addendum to this rule, we would like you each to pick up one open topic by someone you have yet to play with that week. The details are hard to work out, and it’s a bit like musical chairs, but we need to make an effort to make sure that all of the characters have established connections with the rest. If there is no open topic for you to pick up, message a character you have yet to speak to. It doesn’t have to be IC if it doesn’t seem logical, but at the very least, reintroduce yourself OOC and open a steady line of dialogue. This should allow for a more friendly environment, where those who feel as though they are too shy to pick up open topics can at least have a line of communication OOC.
So the way I play Bucky, all the Winter Soldier fail safes are gone, he has Steve back, he has Natasha back, and everything is going great for him, and he’s never been happier.
So obviously someone has to crush that happiness XD
A villain captures and brainwashes Bucky ( think what happened what happened to Clint, Selvig, and the misc. SHIELD agents in The Avengers. It’s still Bucky, but he’s corrupted. Basically the Winter Soldier is back. Whoever this villain is (Could be Viper or Skull stickin’ it to Steve, Could be Loki just for shits and giggles, could be Bucky’s “arch enemy” Baron Zemo via Tash’s “villain for hire” account; anyway, they use Bucky basically as their mind controlled puppet, having him do all sort of terrible things. Bombings, assassinations, the works.
The hero community, those who know who Bucky is and a bit of his backstory, i.e. people like Tony or Clint or Bobbi or whoever; would think “Barnes is compromised, we need to take him out. It’s what he’d want us to do.”, and Steve and or Natasha or whoever else wants to get involved would have to snap him out of it before it comes to that, but not before he does something bad, like assassinate some politicians or something. (I’m so cruel :P)
Once he’s free, he goes into a sort of anti-angsty depression. Everyone would know it wasn’t his fault, still be a little removed towards him. Basically he’d be back at square one with only Steve and Natasha there for him, no one knowing how to act around him and him not knowing how to act around them. He’d have to deal with and come back from the fallout.
idk, I feel as though I’ve fallen into the pre-Winter Soldier sarcastic loveable ass Bucky and it’d be fun to do a bit more of the dark side of the character. Still need a villain, flesh it out some more; message me and hopefully we can get this started soon.
