And if you had any hair I'd take that too!"
Hair: Short, brown hair, usually a bit tussled and messy; not too neat, more pulled around to have the classic rough look about it.
Eyes: Brown, human, AMERICAN eyes!
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 260lbs
Distinguishing Marks: Bionic arm, though it is synthetically covered to look more human.
Appearance: On the surface, Bucky doesn't look like too much. Not even six foot, toned, but he hardly looks like the toughest guy on the planet, he's a surprise for most men he encounters. He's not a bad looking guy, though; a bit of stubble on his face, tussled, untamed hair and a natural air about him, he can be described easily as conventionally handsome.
Despite his size, he has a strong posture, and comes away as very confident; his time in war and the military assuring those features, hiding what insecurities he has. A straight back, high shoulders and a smile, he always seems comfortable as himself.
Bucky usually wears a modified winter soldier gear set which is bullet resistant, temperature resistant, and has a continual

Dislikes:

Brainwashing
Personality:
He looks up to his close friend and "brother", Steve Rogers; he believes and has the utmost faith in the man that is Captain America, ready to throw himself or everything on the line for that man. He believes in the cause and the myth that is Steve Rogers.
A proud American and a proud soldier, Bucky is no stranger to war, battle or confrontation, and will go toe-to-toe with anyone for his country. A firm believer in freedom, liberty, democracy and the American dream, Barnes is a brave, courageous soldier with a sensitive side that makes him the right man to put in to defend a civilian crowd. He knows war isn't for everyone, and instead will sign himself up to bare the burdens of the unable or unfit.
Despite all this, James is very much ashamed of some of his past brainwashed as the Winter Soldier as part of the Russian's assassination squads. He feels he has let down his country and Steve, and thus tries to redeem himself in their eyes - clueless that Steve has likely long forgiven his friend for his misdeeds. When depressed or upset, Bucky has displayed showing signs of aggression, a spark reaction.
"With great power comes great responsibility"
Powers:
Super Strength - Only in his left, bio-cybernetic arm, Bucky has super-strength, which he uses to great effect in combat. This strength has been shown to allow him to throw a shield through guns and steel super-computers.
EMP - His bio-cybernetic arm allows Bucky to produce EMPs which can knock out technology and electrical hardware.
Electrical Shock - Using his bio-cybernetic arm, he can produce electrical shocks to harm his enemies at close range.
Bypassing Airport Sensors - By scrambling the technology inside of an airport system using his arm, Bucky is able to pass through airport sensors without problem.
Holographic projection of skin over his mechanical arm.
Bio-cybernetic arm can be controlled mentally by Bucky when it is detached from his body.
These are the only actual powers Bucky possess, and are all made through his arm. Outwith that, he is simply human, as unlike Steve, he never took the super soldier serum. However, Bucky is recognised as a peak level human.
Weapons
Modified Handgun, made to produce higher fire power than the average gun, as well as print sensors so that if anyone other than Bucky attempts to use it, the gun will explode.
M4a1 Carbine rifle, often topped with a silencer and switchable scopes for long or short distance shooting.
Tactical knife, usually kept on a holster on his leg.
Strengths/Abilities:
Master marksman - Bucky is trained by the American military, SHIELD, the SAS and the Russian KGB, making him a deadly marksman and gun user.
Master hand-to-hand combatant - Bucky is trained by the American military, SHIELD, the SAS, Steve Rogers and the Russian KGB in hand-to-hand combat, knowing multiple styles of fighting, making him a dangerous hand-to-hand fighter.
Arms expert - Due to his vast military training, Bucky is an expert in firearms and their uses.
Leadership - Bucky has an extensive military past, from Russia, Britain, America and in SHIELD as well as being sidekick to Steve Rogers. Because of this, Bucky has learned to be a brilliant leader, having earned his ranks.
Weaknesses:
Emotions - Bucky is an emotional man, and while he usually manages to keep them in check, he can be overcome by them and make needless mistakes.
Human - Bucky hasn't taken the serum that Steve has. Because of that, he's as vulnerable to being shot as any other human - he's simply proven to be very resilient to pain, not invulnerable.
Self-doubt - Bucky is prone to comparing himself to Steve, and can be a crippling flaw in his being. He can be very self-critical, which can occasionally make him doubt and freeze on making a decision.

History:
Just a kid from Indiana, James was adopted as the mascot for Camp Lehigh and nicknamed Bucky after his father's death during World War II. At the age of sixteen, Barnes was sent to England to train with the S.A.S. for two months, with another month spent in special training within the states due to his early hand-to-hand skills. Bucky was determined as the best the military had seen, and was soon sent to New York, where he was to gain an education before stepping into the army.
While at his young age, Bucky met the youthful Steve Rogers, commending the young man's heart and determination; he could only compliment Steve for his attempts to join the military he had already going to enlist in, the young man's spirit to fight the enemy and become a soldier to protect his country. He admired Steve's heart and the all round nice guy he was, becoming fast friends. The best the two had in a long time, Bucky would often defend Steve from bullies, and any who brought trouble to Rogers, practically an adopted brother to Barnes.
Bucky went off to join the military while Steve tried at home, and as he climbed the ranks, completely unaware of Steve's joining the army or upgrade during Operation:Rebirth. Barnes had become a Sargent within the army, and as Steve had become a showman and poster-boy for war bonds, Bucky was eventually captured by the HYDRA forces, where he became a living experiment. Believing his death was impending, Barnes was shocked to be set free and rescued by Steve Rogers, equally so when he witnessed the change in his best friend's body first hand.
Helped back to camp with the rest of the squadron, Bucky voluntarily backed Steve as a military man, and was enlisted into Rogers' platoon, where he fought proudly and courageously. It wasn't until he and Rogers fought on a train to capture Dr. Zola in order to learn of Red Skull's plans, where Bucky seemingly plummeted to his death in a frozen gully before Steve's eyes. The truth of the matter was that, while Bucky was very seriously injured and lost the use of his left arm in the fall, he survived, and was lucky to be naturally cryogeniced in the snow for several days due to his strengthed body and will to survive.
He was then found by the Russians, who knew of his work while with the American army and as part of Captain America's platoon. They cut off his left arm to avoid infection and gangrene, as the damage was far too severe, and replaced it with state of the art technology, giving him a bio-cybernetic limb, linked to his mind and built with an EMP and the ability to shock, as well as jam sensors. They then brainwashed the shaken Barnes and had him believe he was Russian, and trained him with the KGB Spetznaz to become a heavy duty assassin - codenamed The Winter Soldier.
Crafting him a special gear, Bucky was the sent to various missions where he would eliminate targets with such skill and perfection, it often looked like accidents, or far from staged. He knew nothing of the targets, and had no idea what they had done to find themselves blackmarked for death at the hands of the government. Nor did he care, as he had been reprogrammed to believe only in the orders given to him by his superiors. For a while, until SHIELD were finally able to catch him themselves.
Restraining and controlling Bucky, they learned how severely brainwashed he was and, seeing no other alternative, put him into another crygonic sleep - this time professionally, where they wired him to computers and preserved his body in the state it was at that moment in time. Years passed as they reconfigured his mind and brain, repairing the damage done by the Russians, while saying nothing to Steve - everything could easily have gone wrong, killing Barnes, and they didn't want him to become hopeful and then disappointed.
After the crisis with Loki's attempt to take over the world and the battle of the Avengers, technology had far since progressed. Even Tony Stark had no idea what reach his company had taken - soon Bucky's mind had been largely restored, and finally taken off of ice, where he was then helped back to strength and functioning by SHIELD. Although his body was well preserved, he lost some consistency and deteriorated somewhat, weakening his musculature. Once at full strength, he will be reunited with his best friend and former squadron leader, Steve Rogers.
