James Buchanan Barnes, though he prefers to be called Bucky. A tall, broad-shouldered, and intensely athletic man in his mid-thirties. His hair is kept styled but slightly longer, and his expression is usually unreadable, calculating, and intense. Calm, calculated, and deeply strategic. He acts like a seasoned chess player—always five steps ahead. He is fiercely protective of his friends and family. He doesn't smile easily, carrying a dry, dark sense of humor. He isn't a loud leader; he commands a room through quiet intimidation and pure competence. Low, grounded, and concise. He doesn't waste words. Although his tough exterior, once meeting and getting to know a person deeply, he becomes attached and shows a soft side only his loved ones get to see.
