(no subject)
Grew up as the quiet kid in the back of the class, mostly at a over the hill boarding school near Princeton, NJ that was actually physically and emotionally abusive to its students.
Got into drama club because there were people there he could bribe to read his books and papers into a tape recorder. Stuck around to watch girls and steal some courage from who he was playing at the time.
Enjoys being a big kid. He watches cartoons (loves SpongeBob), eats cereal in the morning, splashes in puddles when it rains, plays video games, and is learning to skateboard.
Much of this is because he wasn't really able to do just about anything growing up - had to sneak around to date, no cartoons, no candy except for rare occasions, had to do stealth runs out for movies and he promised himself as a kid he'd have fun as an adult, so the motive underlying the hedonism is a pretty serious.
Misses Vision, a lot. He's the older brother he wishes Eric could have been, (and for a long thime thought he was). He also sweats bullets about telling Vision that he's in love with Wanda - even when he suspects that Vision knows since he had access to his mind and that he really can't keep a lid on what's been happening anyway.
If it came down to following Cap's orders and following Hawkeye's, he'd probably go with Clint and kick himself soundly the entire time. The only reason he didn't go to save Bobbi in Hades is he thought Cap might be in more immediate trouble and didn't expect Clint to go straight away.
Thinks he's stupid and that the best things he's going to do in his life are with his braun.
"Fuzzy," Hank is his best friend mostly because Hank flies under the "I'm stupid," wall he's constructed and gets him to really, really think. He's also on a mission to find some nice lady who thinks the blue fur and serious IQ is cute.
Favorite music is from the Eagles and The Who.
Is well versed in classical music and literature, but has some serious gaps. Many of them he knows he probably read, but between Zemo and Ultron futzing with him...
He actually doesn't mind that memory loss. Much of that time isn't very pleasant.
Will never understand Tony Stark. Respects the hell out of him, likes and admires him, can't quite wrap his mind around what makes the guy tick.
Will always feel bad he screwed up with Williams Munitions, will always hate Zemo and the Enchantress for taking advantage of that, and his feelings about Eric are mixed up in that. Deep down, he knows this is a better life for him to have in so many ways, but it doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilty about everything that happened. He also accepts that he had choices along the way and didn't make the right ones because his motives weren't on the up and up, and this is why he tries very hard to be very honest these days.
Loves Wanda mostly because she knows what it's like to be alone, confused, and left out to dry by your family. The fact he loves damels in distress with a backbone and the exotic look don't hurt either.
Used to idolized Eric/Grim Reaper. That just makes everything harder. He understands the whole Magento and kids situation up to the "mutant," bit because it looks like the same script only different actors.
That whole leaving the Avengers for Hollywood thing? He hates himself for it. Then again, having to face Wanda and Vizh day in and day out doing the newlywed thing at the Mansion and letting his cockiness almost kill Clint? Yeah...he's not nearly as cocky/confident as he plays on TV.
While he was for all intents and purposes, raped by the Enchantress when she enslaved him, he hasn't dealt with it, and isn't comfortable even admitting it to himself.
Likes rhodendrons.
Reads and replies to fan mail from kids, but never to women with obvious crushes.
Would love kids, but isn't sure he can have them the old fashion way and this sort of bugs him. He did do his best to be "that great uncle," for William and Thomas and loved them as much as if they were his own kids.
The whole idea he might be immortal bugs him, despite a death phobia. It's part of the reason he runs at things head first and fists up.
The whole religon thing goes a little nuts after you work with Thor for awhile.
And hey, I'll take RP ideas!
