Tell me about your first friendly casualty.

“Tell me about your first ____.”

_{★— “Friendly casualty? Now this is hard– depends what you
mean really. There could be multiple meanings behind it - one
being the first time I’ve ever accidentally performed what we
call Friendly Fire, which means I’ve hurt a comrade of mine in
battle. The first time THAT ever happened was when I was given
my first dose of gun training back in camp Lehigh. Now as some
of you might now, I’m not too partial about arms, never liked ‘em.
There’s ANOTHER reason why - S’pose when I was trainin’ I was
just gettin’ used to things, being aware I was previously a frail fella
that didn’t really get a dose of toyin’ with weapons. So I didn’t
EXPECT the recoil from my first shoot, I was told to be ready for
somethin’ but when I first fired, my elbow went FLYIN’ back and I
ended up smackin’ my instructor in the face and broke the poor
fellas nose… I suppose that COUNTS? Right?”}
_{“Okay and now for the second meaning, so the second meanin’ I
got is when someone on your team gets injured, one of your friends.
S’pose the first time it was Junior, back when he was stationed with
us rather on lookout duty. The guy was a TWIG, it was a wonder he
passed basic. He was the youngest of the Commandos, a young lad
that thought drinkin’ would put more hair on his chest yet the first shot
of whiskey he got he’d be rollin’ on the floor. Anyway, he was a GREAT
lookout, a great scout with eyes as sharp as a hawk. With our numbers
short, we decided to bring him along with us to infiltrate a HYDRA base
in the mountains. Sure, we were well equipped, prepared to perfection for
most things. The second the Junior slipped through the door (second to
Gabe) we heard the loudest yelp and the boy came out runnin’ and
screamin’. Now as I said, we were prepared for MOST things - but in
this case, we WEREN’T prepared for Hydra agents with FLAMETHROWERS,
barrelin’ our way in tens. I’d never heard anyone shreikin’ like that in my
life - it was the LOUDEST thing. He ran and dived face first into the snow,
but lord, I could never get the smell of burnin’ hair outta my system, even
to this day it makes me cringe. I ran over to see burns and scars decoratin’
him, it was the saddest sight. The most innocent fella I knew was charred
up, now I’d seen guys with bullets in ‘em before, boys cluttering the infirmary,
but this was the first time I had bared witness to such a TRAGIC incident.
It made me feel sick, it made my knees feel weak and all I could hear was
a ringin’ in my ear. Luckily Junior was fine, they just patched him up, but
seein’ someone you care about get HURT really does somethin’ to you.
Let’s just say I didn’t leave Juniors side until he was well again. As the
Captain, I couldn’t help but feel accountable. It’s not just a title, it’s the
RESPONSIBILITY.”}

Steve Rogers was your average kid, a who had nothing. He grew up during the great depression which resulted in him later on having a great value for everything that he now receives. He was meek as a child and was constantly bullied for his small size, that added to the fact that he had an extremely poor immune system and was diagnosed with every ailment and illness under the sun. Instead he continued with his education, specialising in arts where he constantly depicted himself as a super-hero, or drew heroes that could help save him.

After his mother (Sarah) passed away he faced a severe depression which he masked by engulfing himself in his pursuit of achieving his dream; joining the army and following in the footsteps of his father (Joseph).

He was constantly rejected. Time after time due to his small stature until he was taken on board project ‘rebirth’ where with the assistance of Howard Stark’s technology and Dr Josef Reinstien – he was turned into a super soldier. Initially he was a poster boy, being used for marketing campaigns by the US army in order to encourage recruitment as well as help improve the general PR image.

Breaking the rules and letting his complex get in the way, he decided to take down US’s number one enemy at the time – the Red Skull.

It was during a fight with Baron Zemo - that he had lost his best friend, Bucky Barnes in a tragic fall when the boy wonder was strapped to a rocket. Steve watched the rocket explode and that image had forever haunted his nightmares.

Taking down the Red Skull, he managed to save the country – however, it involved extreme self sacrifice as he steered the plane he was in into the sea. Luckily enough, it was preserved in ice as the sub-zero conditions froze Steve in a block of ice for a number of decades. The super-soldier serum is what had kept him alive all this time, preserved in ice until eventually he was thawed free – waking up, confused, dazed and delusional.

Mun and Muse are over 18 so anything goes

Please be polite. Manners are appreciated.

This is a largely 616 blog. Please ask if you want to RP MCU! - if you want to RP MCU you have one of two choices; either I will switch to MCU to suit you if you’re more comfortable with that OR we can do an alternate version where 616 meets your MCU.

All smut and gore will be tagged as NSFW or TW: Gore

Please be aware I’ve got one main trigger – Self Harm, if you could please tag themed posts with tw: self harm, I’d really appreciate it!

Feel free to thread

Do not expect instantaneous replies

Please remind me if I haven’t replied to our thread within a week.

Ship hate and bashing will not be tolerated.

Please have fun while threading! If you have ideas I would love to hear them.

Mun has been roleplaying as Steve Rogers for 4 years now. This is a reboot account after a hiatus.

IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE A THREAD FROM AN ASK: please create a new thread and tag me. I will NOT continue asks that have been reblogged - it just makes things easier for the both of us!

I will drop your thread if I believe that you are godmodding / becoming a Gary/Mary sue.

I will assume your character knows little of mine or hasn’t met unless they have in the comics

ASKS: If you wish to continue a thread that has spawned from an ask meme, PLEASE create a new thread and tag me in it, rather than reblogging the ask! I just feel it messes up formatting and looks a bit clustered.

Please see my EXCLUSIVITY page for particular character exclusivity before interacting! I’m not exclusive on many characters but there’s just a handful that have sentimental value to me!

In terms of shipping, I am open minded and will usually provide your muse with a verse of their own. But please note, while I play Steve as bisexual I do NOT ship Steve and Bucky in any universe, please respect that and ensure that your ships are tagged and I’ll do the same. I usually tag anything to do with Tony/Steve as otp: you gave me a home.

OOC: Mun is +21

They/ Them or He/Him pronouns please :D
