" Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone on Coney Island? " Wayward Pines Memories According to his false memories, Bucky Barnes was born and raised in Wayward Pines, Idaho. He was an all-around good guy: friendly, personable, a great athlete and a pretty sharp student. After high school, he went off to join the army with his best pal, Steve Rogers. After the two of them served their country, they returned to Wayward Pines. Bucky's been working as a mechanic ever since. Comment here if you'd like to plot any false memories between your character and Bucky! Current memories include: Kenzi is his cousin FROM CANADA. He's childhood friends with Steve and Natasha. The first time they met was in the playground, when Nat kicked him in the balls. He played baseball as a teenager. He briefly dated Rachel Conway after high school, before he enlisted in the army. It was a lot of fun until one fateful night when they drank too much (thanks, fake IDs/negligent bartenders!) and Bucky got into a barfight with Rachel's boss (that Rachel may or may not have started) before the night ended with her puking on his lawn. Bucky had to hose it off the next morning, hungover. THEY HAVE NEVER ADDRESSED THAT NIGHT IN ALL THE YEARS SINCE. Their friends threw a homecoming party when Bucky and Steve came back from their time in the army. He lives with Steve and Nat, paying rent for a room in their house. He really needs a girlfriend. He works for the Salvatores in their auto shop. He's pals with Cassian. Butch is like a cool uncle figure to him. He lets Ellie hang out while he's working on cars, and will even show her some things about cars. He attends a veterans support group with Nyx and Steve. Canon Memories As of 2/20/17, Bucky remembers large chunks of his life up to his recapture by HYDRA in 1945. Or, rather, he remembers the most notable events, and has a few vivid recollections of various wartime missions and pre-war shenanigans here and there. His memories of life as the Winter Soldier are still largely muddled and hazy and are slowly piecing together, save for a few clear memories. Most of what he can recall from the Winter Soldier years consists of familiar feelings and abstract imagery, devoid of much context. Flashes of the helicarrier fight and the fall of Project Insight have returned to him. His most recent memories-- those from between Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War-- are the most vivid and uninterrupted. When Bucky arrived in Wayward Pines (2/1/17), he could only remember the following, to start: He's a veteran, though he doesn't remember which war he fought in. He and Steve took a couple of gals to the Stark Expo (or, rather, Bucky took Steve and a couple of gals to the Stark Expo) and got to see a flying car. And saw Howard Stark, himself! Steve Rogers is his best friend. Something about being chased and, confusingly, cats? Angrily shooting at Natasha after she SHOT HIM IN THE EYE.

" I don't do that anymore. " Appearance & Fashion For the canonblind: Bucky has A COOL ROBOT ARM. He will try to keep it covered as much as possible, but, you know. It's there. It's a thing. He has no Wayward Pines-approved memories associated with it, and will usually just give a vague answer about army injuries to explain it, if/when asked. LUCKILY, Bucky's usual way of dressing can easily fit in here, though he is also trying to stick to how he figures the Bucky of his false Wayward Pines memories would. Luckily for Bucky and his hair, this means he gets to go a bit grunge. So, it's basically a lot of flannel, a lot of denim-- sometimes ripped, even though that's a fashion choice he doesn't quite get-- and a lot of tees and 3/4 sleeve shirts. And when he's working, he's wearing a mechanic's shirt, usually over a long-sleeved thermal shirt or a henley. And more jeans. JEANS 24/7. A HANDY VISUAL AID (insert cool robot arm over that left one): (yeah I could link to actual 90s fashion, BUT WHY BOTHER WHEN HE'S BASICALLY ALREADY DRESSED THE WAY BUCKY IS IN GAME) Oh and he does try to keep the robot arm covered as much as possible by wearing long sleeves and a glove whenever possible. But it's not always possible to keep it hidden. AND I just decided that his closet is full of t-shirts with bands and references he largely doesn't understand. A LOT OF 80s STUFF. He definitely has an ironic D.A.R.E shirt that he doesn't get the point of.

Wayward Pines Memories

[zymasoldat]

Plot false memories in this thread! Here is where you can find false memories that have been established already.

Memory Preferences: I'm looking for Bucky's alternate history in Wayward Pines to be something more reflective of how his life could have gone, if he hadn't been captured and brainwashed by HYDRA. So I'm looking for positive associations, big brotherly sentiments, etc. more than angsty memories.

I'm open to pretty much anything, but I'm not going to be playing with the false memory mechanic too much with Bucky. So basically, we can establish mutual past encounters/memories/etc that your character may remember, but Bucky may not remember as many of them, himself.

[paragon]

I can definitely have Steve remember being a soldier, too. Maybe more specifically a welcome home party for the both of them? With very hazy memories of who was actually in attendance. Or something to that effect.

[zymasoldat]

Ooh yes, I like that idea! Let's go for the hazy welcome home party.

[paragon]

Of course if anyone else wants to remember being there . . .

HANDWAVED SCENES

[zymasoldat]

handwaved scenes!
LOOK, WE'RE ALL BUSY PEOPLE. It can be hard to finish all threads, especially when you also want to tag into newer things so that your character isn't in living in the land of backtags forever. So, if a thread needs to get dropped for any reason, but you want to hash out how the rest of the scene would've gone, comment here with a link to the thread and we can handwave or even loosely DM the rest, rather than have the interaction FADE INTO THE ETHER. Presumably, anything hashed out here will be game canon.

Ana and Bucky flirted about markers and then ran into one another at the bar and flirted again?

[zymasoldat]

Yes! Multiple flirtings have happened! Will she be at the June intro log? I can toss Bucky at her there, too.

[seeyaduke]

Probably at Glug Glugs because she came back on Saturday and stuff.
