In 800+ words, tell us...
Is this character an OC or AU set in a canon world? If so, which canon?:
Steph is a genderbent Captain America. Her world is essentially identical to Steve's, in terms of general history, but there will be some changes in additional characters, friends she had and people she noticed that Steve didn't encounter, and vice versa. Her version of the 21st century has some unique differences, too, due in large part to the patriotic hero of World War II being a lady.
Character's background (their past and present, including applicable events in other games you may have played them in):
Life hasn't been entirely easy for Steph, but then it rarely is for anyone, is it? Still. After her father was killed overseas during the Great War, Sarah Rogers raised her daughter all on her own. Being somewhat sickly as a child, Steph had a lot of exposure to her mother's abilities as a nurse and her gentle bedside manner. Between that, and her mother's slow death to pneumonia, no one was surprised when Steph enrolled in nursing school and spent the next several years trying to graduate. Difficult to manage when every visit to a sick wards leads to a fever at home.
Steph was "discovered" while exploring the Stark Expo with her childhood pal, Bucky. That discovery led to being chosen as the next in a long line of experimentation to create a team of Super Soldiers. If the experiment was successful, they'd try it on a soldier.
Unfortunately, after Steph's success, the serum was lost. And Steph? Was all the military got. She spent the rest of World War II proving that serum wasn't a waste.
After sinking a plane into the Arctic and effectively ending her life, the last thing Steph expected was to wake up in the 21st century.
Stark Tower really is the ugliest building she's ever seen.
Character's personality:
Sassy. That's a big chunk of it right there. Steph is extremely intelligent and has a dry sense of humor (though she can be prone to pranks, with the right friends) but her defining characteristics are stubbornness and loyalty.
She doesn't let her temper out much, but when she does, it can be wicked.
Character's skills/abilities/powers:
Enhanced strength, endurance, healing abilities: basically, anything you can do, she can do better. Steph can do anything better than you.
Any special equipment your character is bringing along? This includes weaponry, magic items, etc.:
Luckily, Steph managed to snag her shield on the way out, if only because I can't imagine her without it. The shield is made of solid vibranium, stronger than steel and weighs only one third as much. It is completely vibration-absorbent. Steph tends to use it for things such as stopping Thor's hammer, breaking down walls, and playing pinball, with her shield as the ball and members of HYDRA as the pins.
Why do you want to play this character in Ten Forward, and what do you plan to do with them?
I want to play this character everywhere I can. She's fascinating and fun and a good excuse to dive into history and play around with gender politics. My plans for this character pretty much revolve around discovering who she is, throwing her into different situations to see what happens.
What is your character's greatest flaw?
Steph doesn't always know when to call it quits - in fact, she'd insist that sometimes there's no such thing as 'quit.' It can manifest itself in ways that resemble self-destructive tendencies, though she's not often reckless, and certainly never with anyone's life but her own.
Describe your character's family (whether family by blood or by choice). How does your character feel about them? What did your character learn from them?
