Character name: Bucky Barnes
Canon and canon point: Post Captain America: Civil War
History: here.
Personality:

Bucky Barnes’ personality can best be compared to a venn diagram, comprised of two or three distinct personalities combining, only encompassing who he truly is on a daily bases somewhere in the overlapping middles.

The original circle, the man who he was at the very start, is Sergeant Barnes. He’s a loyal and compassionate man, sticking true to both the people he loves and the causes he fights for. He goes above and beyond for friends and family, for his country, and gives his everything to the things he deems worth it. Beyond just those two defining trains he’s also an incredibly social man; he carries a quiet charisma and a sarcastic, dry wit that makes him charming and appealing to women, strangers, and peers (largely made evident by the impressive number of dates he’s gone on, and the respect he earns from his company during the war). He’s not excessively outgoing, doesn’t go out of his way to draw attention to himself, but seems to be comfortable in crowds and one on one alike. He’s skeptical, grounded, and observant, unimpressed by big promises that are ultimately unrealistic (such as Stark’s flying car prototype, or the figurehead of Captain America outside of the man behind the mask). He’s a great shot, a strong man in his own way, and generally morally good.

A secondary small but admittedly darker, more dense circle is composed of the Winter Soldier. A Russian-made elite Hydra assassin with no conscience and no need for personality traits that don’t suit mission purpose, it’s a strategic tactical personality with ruthless violence and immeasurable combat skill. The winter soldier speaks a number of languages even Bucky doesn’t realize until he hears, knows an enormous array of weapons, fighting styles, survival tactics, vehicle operations such as helicopters and motorcycles, and ways to hide from the eyes of governments and individuals alike. He is a method to completing a mission objective personified. He follows orders by any means necessary, and his means are vast, calculated, and unfaltering.

The last, most recent circle is made of the man he’s become after regaining free will, put together with only spotty memories of his past initially. He’s an inherently broken, fractured soul with a guilt complex the size of a mountain. He’s a man who knows how to fight but tries not to, a man who appreciates the quiet and compassionate people of Romania or Wakanda, who runs when he can but stands his ground when he can’t. Some of his sense of humor remains in tact, though it’s occasionally clouded in darkness and bitter self-deprecation. He keeps to himself in part because he feels he has to, because he’s not sure who in the world his enemies could be but also because he’s spent a century being out of touch with reality. Technology, pop culture, and social norms have evolved leaps and bounds from what he’s used to, although he does a decent job picking up on things and integrating quickly. His time as a depersonalized assassin have taken a big hit on his social skills, but he gets by with gentleness and by saying exactly what he believes to be the truth without filtering it or beating around the bush. Good or bad, intimate or distant, he’s frank in conversation and in voicing his doubts.

From these three distinct personalities and times in his life he makes up himself, pulling from one of the sources over the other when the situation best suits him. He has since regained the majority of his memories from both of his prior lives, and has worked intently on healing the worst parts of his mind, both on his own and through Wakandan therapy. As such, he’s still growing into the person he chooses to be and still has a lot to discover about himself, his interests, and what he plans to do in the future. It’s a day-by-day basis.

What are they in for? Murdering SO MANY PEOPLE, including but not limited to JFK, Howard & Maria Stark, and about a hundred others.
