note regarding The Snap: I feel it's fairly integral to my canon to keep Bucky getting snapped, primarily because I have already diverged so wildly from canon. I feel like diverging further would do damage to the progress I have him making, so I will be keeping the Snap canon for most verses.

on being left handed: Though naturally left handed, as The Winter Soldier, he was trained & conditioned to be not just functionally ambidextrous, but entirely - to the point that after being fully deprogrammed, it took him a further six months to shake it off & start defaulting to his left again. There will always be the barest hint of hesitation in using it as his dominant hand in intimate situations, but that’s something he’s slowly overcoming with time.

therapy & adjustments after Endgame: Bucky sitting down with a mandated therapist not long after the events of The Blip was hardly the first time he was put in a position to unpack his trauma, but it was definitely not the most productive. he had previously started unpacking the bulk of his experiences almost directly after the fall of the Triskelion in 2014, upon being remanded into the Avengers’ custody & choosing to work towards his own healing on his own terms. read more.

Born: Andrea Provenzano, June 8, 1973, to Anna Vittoria Provenzavo, neé Riina.

He would grow up in a small apartment in Manhattan's Lower East, but most of the files regarding his childhood are heavily redacted.

He has no contact with his birth father, one Bernardo Provenzano, nor his maternal grandfather, one Salvatore Riina.

From ages 7 to 15, Brock was sexually abused in a manner of ways by his step father. Whether or not his mother was fully aware of this at the time is unknown, but his step father's tendency to become violent when intoxicated coupled with existing drug & alcohol abuse, the lack of confrontation is hardly surprising.

It was within this period, as well, that he started abusing drugs & alcohol himself. Because he had access to this at home via his step father, it was more than easy to fall into a pattern of addiction.

There's some suspicion that his Naval career was kickstarted because he was given a choice of jail, or joining up. Regardless, the start of his Naval career coincides with the end of his addiction.

His step-dad disappeared one night shortly after Brock's 15th birthday when he went out to buy beer. By the time his step-son came home from work, Anna Vittoria was already concerned. A police report was eventually filed, but there were no leads.

At the urging of a high school guidance counselor who could see the damage his home life was doing him, Brock enrolled in a new & controversial program sponsored by a revolutionary public high school's collaborative efforts with New York University, catapulting him beyond regular curriculum by the time he was in the 9th grade.

This meant getting up early, & getting home late. Even after his step-father went missing, Brock continued with the program.

because of this choice & his own sheer stubbornness, he had completed requirements for graduation as well as an associates by the time he had finished 11th grade. instead of completing the second half of his junior year & continuing onto his senior year, he opted to enroll in nyu full-time.

he graduated NYU with a B.A. in international relations, & minor in national security studies.

Pushing through, he completed the program in record time & used many of his credits to qualify for an additional certification in counter terrorism.

Brock joined the Navy in ’90, immediately after graduation, and pushed himself hard enough that by the end of ’91, he was an esteemed member of a small class of Navy SEALs, joining Naval Special Warfare Development Group/DEVGRU.

He took the name Brock Rumlow during this time, after an instructor who relentlessly pushed him to be better & a college professor who had shown more faith in him than he'd had in himself.

May 24th, 1990: Alexander Pierce & Nick Fury meet for the first time.

December 16, 1991: Assassination of Howard & Maria Stark.

Brock was promoted to O-2, Lieutenant, Junior Grade, shortly before his involvement in combat activities during the Battle of Mogadishu.

Took part in his first major duties, including the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia, which took place in late ‘93 during the Somali Civil War.

This took place shortly after his return from Somalia.

Originally fronted as a member of the Red Squadron (Assault Team), his actual role was one of a little over a hundred members of the covert Black Squadron (Reconnaissance & Surveillance Team). This information is known only to four individuals: Vice Admiral Joseph D. Kernan, Rear Admiral Edward G. Winters, III, Nick Fury, & Maria Hill.

It was his time on the Black Squadron that caught the attention of the CIA's Special Activities Division's Special Operations Group for tactical paramilitary operations.

His being scouted was additionally direct result of his fringe but effective involvement in the events preceding the Battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan (which would peak later in 2001).

his step father was declared legally dead after being missing for seven years, & the family was allowed to collect his life insurance, which Anna used to improve & otherwise update the family restaurant.

Between deployments to the Middle East, the Navy received a special request from the S.H.I.E.L.D. station in Bogotá to have a person on hand to monitor & assist with a growing situation.

Given that the bulk of his team was either overseas or recovering from duty, Brock volunteered.

He landed in Bogotá during the last week of March, setting up under Deputy Chief of the station, one Nicholas Fury, whom he'd work closely with to monitor the ongoing situation.

May 5th: Alexander Pierce is in State Department in Bogotá when ELN rebels take the embassy. Security get Pierce out, but the rebels take hostages. Fury goes to Pierce with a plan that had been brainstormed between him & Rumlow for extraction - wanting to storm the building through the sewers. Pierce says no, insisting that they negotiate.

Fury ignores the direct order & carries out an unauthorized military operation on foreign soil, rescuing the hostages - a dozen political offers, including Pierce's daughter.

Pierce attempts negotiation, but ELN refuse, & put out a kill order. They storm the basement, but find it empty. Pierce is relieved that Fury defied him, as it meant the hostages were saved, whereas otherwise they would have been killed, including his daughter.

Brock leaves Bogotá with a letter of commendation & notes of distinction both from Diplomat Pierce & Deputy Chief Fury. Fury makes a note to keep an eye on the young officer, & then moves to California following a promotion from Pierce.

took part in Operation Desert Strike in September of 1996.

Promotion to O-4, Lieutenant Commander

December 17th, 2001: The Battle of Tora Bora (تورا بورا). SAD/SOG tracked down Osama bin Laden in the rugged mountains near the Khyber Pass.

Despite the operation being largely ineffectual, his personal efforts & command effort to set up the operation as a whole were taken into account & later used as a basis for his recruitment.

US forces stayed in the area until January 2002.

Brock officially transitions from full active duty with the Navy SEALs to working on loan to the CIA under the CIA's Special Activities Division Special Operations Group - a division with less than one hundred operatives.

He's implanted with a modified L-Pill, a small capsule under his left molar that can be dislodged in the event he's compromised.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signs a classified order authorizing extended clandestine operations

Note: The secret order, authorized by the then-president, gave the military new authority to attack the Qaeda terrorist network anywhere in the world, and a more sweeping mandate to conduct operations in countries not at war with the United States.

John Garret returns to Wyoming for Grant Ward. SHIELD is alerted of this, having kept Ward on its own index after his disappearance in '99.

Fury officially makes a request for a high level operative transfer from the CIA's Special Activities Division Special Operations Group to oversee & orchestrate an infiltration of a suspected parasitic organization having formed within SHIELD.

Specifically, he requests the young agent he had kept tabs on nearly ten years ago.

Note: his work with HYDRA is a deep cover operation overseen jointly by his commanding officer at SAC, & Fury.

Brock is largely unsupervised because of the nature of the deep cover, but his loyalty is unquestionably to SHIELD, & I will not negotiate on this.

His job is to hunt N*zis, & turn the suspected parasitic organization within SHIELD over to the high command to be dealt with.

Starts working with SHIELD in the capacity of STRIKE Commander, & starts his work infiltrating HYDRA. He re-introduces himself to Secretary Pierce, reminding him of their work in Bogotá, & thanking him for the letter of commendation.

Pierce starts keeping tabs on Rumlow, monitoring his potential to be recruited to HYDRA.

Starts up a casual relationship with level 6 agent Rebecca Stevens as part of his cover.

canon compliant, to include E.K. Johnston's Queen trilogy & the most recent Vader run.

Small exception for divergency during Queen's Hope; I give Sabé a little more flexibility regarding returning as Padmé's face double -- she would, if Padmé asked, but she is still significantly hurt at Padmé's deception regarding Anakin so she will still ask for some amount of distance after the fact instead of more or less walking away in entirety.

Padmé Amidala (@ofcatnaps), various

Sabé didn't find out about Padmé's marriage to Anakin from Padmé herself - this is a fractious topic between the two of them, & Sabé does hold some amount of private resentment & pain over this.

Sabé never had a room to herself until after Padmé became a senator & her services as a handmaiden were no longer routinely needed. Even then, she finds herself sharing space with others in spaceship bunks, or even her own apartment because the idea of being truly alone is a bit new to her. She's adjusting, & she finds she likes it though.

Poe’s flight jacket is specifically is an older style that had once been common in the rebellion & has since be repurposed for his time in the Resistance - largely because the jacket itself once belonged to his father. it’s for this reason that the jacket is actually marginally large on his frame & fits Finn more precisely.

Poe has low grade yet pervasive chronic pain from repeat emergency ejections & blasts taken in his x-wing. It’s not something he’ll acknowledge readily, or own up to in any capacity really at all, but it IS a reality he has to live with & it affects him in varying bursts of intensity. (read more).

In his modern verses, BB-8 takes the form of a rescue airedale terrier Poe has had since he was 27. (read more).

canon compliant. I'm familiar with both the Original Trilogy, the comics & supplemental novels surrounding her canon, & the Sequel trilogy + will pull from all of the above as needed.

At this time, I do take some issue with the handling of Vader's legacy being kept from Ben because it feels like a slap in the face after how much attention was given to how betrayed she felt with her own parents keeping secrets from her.

In light of this, I typically will refer to my own Ben's divergency more often unless plotting & writing otherwise with other Ben Solo/Kylo Ren RPers.

over 573 languages are estimated to have gone extinct in Andy's lifetime, & she can theoretically speak all of them given she became fluent in the root languages of all modern languages many, many centuries ago. This means there are very few modern languages she cannot comprehend outside of a few language isolates.

Andy both loves & hates technology's rapid advancement - especially over the last few decades alone. She had to be coerced into trading in her flip phone for a touch screen & even before that they had to pry her pager out of her cold, dead hands. Despite her reticence to adopt new technology, though, she learns exceptionally fast - she's just tired.

She claims to only ever have owned the one axe - originally forged for her by her mother. It's had replacements & improvements over the millennia, but to her it's still the same axe. (Even if the current form is spot-welded tempered steel.)

divergent from the ending of Van Helsing (2004), in that Anna does not die at the end of the film.

a native of a village in Transylvania & the last of the bloodline of the royal house of Valerious, Anna is the descendant of Valerious the Elder, daughter of King Boris Valerious & sister of Prince Velkan. Nine generations of her family have fallen before her since her ancestors swore to purge Dracula from their bloodline, leaving her & her brother all alone as the last to fulfill this promise.

Anna collects Christmas baubles - specifically handblown glass baubles. the earliest known baubles originate from the 16th century & were made of glass beads & tin figures hung on trees like garlands, but Anna prefers the ones that originated in France around 1832-1858. read more

Anna has received training in all traditional Romanian cavalry weaponry, to include longbows, sabers, & javelins. of these, she vastly prefers sabers, with the long bow being a close second. She also carries two small daggers on her at all times - one on her belt, one in her boot. She is also proficient in Russian fist fighting - bare knuckle boxing -, though it was largely outlawed generations before her birth. read more

Genya does not enjoy silence. Quite the opposite, really - silence sets her on edge. She’s used to the bustle & chatter of the Grand Palace & Little Palace, & the silence makes her turn her thoughts inward far too much for her liking.

Genya is very vocal about what she likes to drink - champagne, & there’s no such thing as too much. she is specifically particular to a variety of the sparkling wine imported from Kerch via the southern colonies that has a honeycomb or yellow apple taste to it, but she’s hardly one to turn her nose up to whatever is being offered.

when she’s not indulging, she prefers tea from one of the samovars maintained for palace servants, where заварка (Zavarka, a tea concentrate - usually black with a smoky taste profile from the long caravans used to bring it to Os Alta) is brewed before being diluted with water from the base. she prefers her tea not especially strong, but still with more of a punch than many of the others might prefer.

She takes her tea with jam - peach during the summer, as that’s what’s grown in the hot houses in the Little Palace, or plum during the rest of the year. this is usually by taking a spoonful of jam & setting it on her tongue before drinking, & it’s the last little tradition she has to remember her blood family by.

most important: Kaz suffers from extreme haphephobia (fear of touch) due to deeply ingrained childhood trauma. He only removes his gloves in front of Inej & would not under any circumstances do so in front of anyone else unless significantly plotted.

He does not respond well to touch, & will react angrily to it at bare minimum. He is known to take a hand from those who lay them on him, so please keep this in mind when interacting with him.

in modern verses, I have edited his backstory a touch to keep his characterization consistent even in verses where it would not be congruent with worldbuilding for him to have suffered a bad break & had it set improperly, as well as to keep the level of trauma he would have endured because of the reaper's barge consistent even without the event itself being possible.

an important note that the show's first season is largely an invented plot to server as a prequel to Six of Crows, & it's possible that the second season will feature the book's plot more properly. that being said, this changes the timeline as in the books, the events of shadow & bone take place several years before six of crows.

Kaz's age: his age is fluid depending on which canon I'm interacting with. Book muses will see book!aged Kaz, show muses will see an older Kaz. Modern verse, I write him around early to mid 20s

The DeKappel Painting (s1e1): diverging from the show, inej & kaz instead stole a painting from the merchant Jan Van Eck worth almost 100,000 kruge. Kaz keeps this painting rolled up under his bed in the Slat.

Kaz' eye color: I default to the book - his eyes are brown.

important note: Kaz's general job description & characterization do not change heavily, nor will his backstory. Many of the verses listed below are variations on the same thing for ease of interaction with a wide variety of muses in varied settings.

in terms of backstory: in AU verses, I will default to Kaz & his family having succumbed to a freak outbreak of an unknown hemorrhagic poxvirus, & Kaz survived after spending 8 days laying feverish beside them as an updated point of reference to account for having same-similar levels of trauma to his canon backstory.

in terms of his disability: in any verse variant enough that his backstory warrants tweaking, Kaz will suffer from significant osteonecrosis instead of an unhealed break to convey the same level of disability within a worldbuild where his break going improperly healed would be otherwise implausible. He is disabled, & I will not be writing that out in an iteration of his character.
