[/i][/center]The Person
Name: Steven Grant Rogers
Age: 71
Place of Birth: New York, New York
Current Place of Residence:SHIELD HQ
Affiliation: SHIELD
Family: Joseph Rogers, Sarah Rogers, (parents, deceased), unnamed grandfather (deceased), Steven Rogers ("Captain America" of late 1700's, ancestor, deceased), Zinda Rogers (Lady Blackhawk, Wife, Retired), Stephanie Rogers (Daughter, Lady Blackhawk II)
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 240Lbs
Appearance:
Civilian Attire: Steve tends to wear simple jeans and tshirts in his spare time when he actually has some, other wise he can mostly be found wearing suits or spending his days in his SHIELD body suit.
Personality: Captain Steve Rogers is as straight up and down as they come. Loyal to a fault he will never abandon his friends, or leave a man behind if there is even the slightest chance of rescue regardless of the danger it would put his own life in. Steve has no qualms about putting himself in harms way and will willing sacrifice himself to save others.
Brave and stalwart Rogers will often refuse to back down regardless of the odds against him, fighting and driving forwards when others would fall back, inspiring those around him to even greater heights of heroism. It is this inspiration more often than his own abilites that allow the heroes he works with to win through against the tide of villians against them, the right words at a crucial time, a simple act of defiance when others would fall, these things make him the hero he is as much as the scientists who worked on him all those years ago.
None of this however has gone to his head, and even after all these years he still sees himself as the young man doing what is right for his country.
There is little in the world that phases the aging Rogers, having lived the best part of a century at the forefront of heroic action and politics he is perhaps the most recognised man in all of America, and in costume, quite possibly the world.

The Hero
Codename: Captain Steve Rogers, Captain America
Hero Attire:
In the field Captain Rogers wears the standard flexible SHIELD bodysuit worn by the majority of Agents. The suit will stop most small caliber bullets with little more than a bruise and is stab/slash/tear proof. The material also provides some insulation against heat and cold.
Powers:
The Super-Soldier Serum metabolized and enhanced all of Rogers' bodily functions to the peak of human potential. Dr. Reinstein described this potential as being "the next step in human evolution", while still remaining completely human. It should be noted that while he is still the pinicle of what an non-superpowered human could achieve, he is now in his 70's and as such is beginning to show signs of weakening/slowing in his advanced age.
Artificially Enhanced Physiology: Rogers has no superhuman powers, although as a result of the Super-Soldier serum, he was transformed from a frail young man into a "perfect" specimen of human development and conditioning. Rogers is as intelligent, strong, fast, agile, and durable as it was possible for a human being to be without being considered superhuman.
• Peak Human Strength: Rogers' physical strength was enhanced to the very peak of human potential. As a result, Rogers is as physically strong as a human being can be without being classified as superhuman. Captain America has been seen bench pressing 500 kg (1,100 lbs). At present he could possible still lift these kinds of weights but he does so infrequently to avoid undue stress on his body.
• Peak Human Speed: He could run at speeds of up to approximately 30 miles per hour, and had on occasion run a mile in little over a minute (almost 60 mph) when under duress. He has slowed somewhat with age but is still incredible fast for a ‘human’.
• Peak Human Stamina: His body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles, granting him exceptional endurance. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several hours without rest before showing any signs of fatigue.
• Peak Human Agility: Rogers' agility is superior to that of typical Olympic athletes.
• Peak Human Reflexes: Rogers' reflexes are superior to that of typical Olympic athletes. Like most of his powers, his reflexes border on superhuman levels as he has dodged a bullet fired at point blank range claiming that he "could see faster than it."
• Peak Human Durability: Rogers' ability to withstand injury is superior to those of ordinary humans. This explains how he had survived the physical punishment endured throughout his career, such as building falls and explosions.
• Peak Human Metabolism: His enhanced metabolism, bloodstream, and immune system allows him to heal from injuries or diseases faster than most humans. Captain America was still subject to all conventional human ailments, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities, though his immunity to most diseases was quite extraordinary. Rogers had stated he cannot become drunk and has never been sick after receiving the Super-Soldier serum.
• Peak Human Mental Process: Rogers' mental performance has been greatly enhanced, allowing his mind to operate in the most efficient and rapid manner possible. One manifestation of this is his tactical genius; the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. Rogers also possesses a near-edictic memory, meaning that he never forgets anything and has perfect recall. This enables him to remember any military tactic and apply it to any situation.
• Peak Human Perception: Rogers has exceptionally keen eyesight and hearing. Captain America once stated that he was able to dodge bullets because he "sees faster than them".
Skills:
Master Martial Artist: Having trained with such luminaries as William Essart Fairbairn and Rex Applegate, Captain America has mastered multiple martial arts including demonstrated ability in pressure-point fighting (where he rendered a guard unconscious using a nerve pinch). He combined these disciplines with his acrobatic/gymnastic talents to create his own unique hand-to-hand style of combat. He engages in a daily regimen of rigorous exercise (including aerobics, weight lifting, gymnastics, and simulated combat). He has many years of combat experience battling a vast multitude of villains from Nazis in WWII to terrorist organizations (Hydra) or criminal enterprises (Serpent Society). These experiences allow Rogers to maintain his abilities in peak condition, and often defeated opponents whose size, strength, or other powers greatly exceeded his own. Captain America is one of the finest human combatants the Earth had ever known.
Master Shield Fighter: Captain America's years of training and experience with his unique shield, as well as its physical properties, allowed him to accomplish amazing feats with the item. Aside from bashing foes and blocking incoming attacks, Cap was able to throw it with nearly perfect aim. He was able to hit multiple targets with the same throw by means of ricochet, and could even achieve a boomerang-like return effect, allowing him to strike enemies from behind or retrieve the shield without objects to ricochet from.
Master Tactician and Strategist: Captain America is an accomplished strategist. He has been widely considered one of, if not the greatest, tacticians on the planet, both on and off the battlefield. He is able to formulate battle strategies and his brilliant tactical sense allows him to alter any strategy to fit the changing need of the situation. When the Scarlet Witch described Captain America as a leader, she simply stated "You’re just the best there is." During the Secret Wars, the scientific genius Reed Richards asserted that "No one could have directed their group better then Captain America," as Iron Man and the others agreed This compliment came from brilliant thinkers Tony Stark and Reed Richards, who have routinely commanded their own teams.
Master Acrobat: Rogers' years of training and experience made him an expert in the field of acrobatics and gymnastics as well as a stunning aerialist. Rogers is also extremely well versed in many other physical skill-sets.
Indomitable Will: Rogers is still a very strong-willed person. He is able to overcome most forms of temptation including physical, mental, and sexual. During the Forever War, he destroyed the Forever Crystal, deciding it was too dangerous to exist, despite the many benefits of its power. Rogers accepts his own mortality, and refuses to rob any sentient creature of its freedom. He is capable of resisting all forms of mind control; only the strongest willed individuals have a chance of enslaving him.
Professional Sketch Artist: Rogers has great artistic skill which he developed from childhood. He often worked as a freelance illustrator and sketch artist even loaning his skills to the NYPD for a time. He enjoys drawing and does so with his free time.
Expert Marksman: He can throw most projectile weaponry with great aim and is well-versed in the use of firearms, though he preferred not to use them.
Weapons Proficiency: He did not typically utilize weapons other than his shield, but in desperate times or situations where he and teammates were outnumbered, he would wield additional weapons to ensure victory. These additional weapons have included firearms, bludgeons, and staffs, as well as swords. He his received training with different kinds of weapons during his wartime experiences for undercover infiltration missions. However these days with the absence of his Shield, he primarily uses a Berretta 9mm Sidearm.
Multi-lingual: He is fluent in English, French, Russian, German, Japanese, and Wakandan.
Expert Pilot: He is a phenomenal pilot and is versed in many Military, SHIELD, and Avengers aircraft.
Misc: While not particularly skills per se : Steve Rogers was shown to be worthy of carrying Mjolnir, and is one of two foreigners entrusted with the Black Panther's technology.
Special Equipment:
Has access to the entirety of SHIELDs vast armoury. If he needs something he can quite certainly get his hands on it.
Weaknesses: Steve Rogers isn’t as young as he used to be and while still fitter and more able than most normal humans half his age, time is beginning to take its toll on the great hero. While his mental faculties are as sharp as ever his physical abilities while still considerable have begun to slowly deteriorate.
Captain Rogers is for all intents and purposes the perfect human being, but he is still only human subject to many of the same things that could kill them, excessive blood loss, gunshot wounds, stabbings or falls from great heights could all end his life.
Most Heroic Achievements: There are far too many events in the man’s life that border on the impossible to pick out just one.
History: *Cries uncontrollably because its so huge*
Captain Steve Rogers first official action as Director of SHIELD was to organise the repealing of the Superhuman Registration Act, believing that each and every metahuman should have the choice whether or not to expose themselves to a world that isn't always kind to those who are different. Even with the removal of the government enforced registration he made it perfectly clear that the law was still the law, and those found abusing the trust placed in them would swiftly find themselves incarcerated for their own protection and the protection of those around them. With the merging of the worlds and the sudden explosion of superpowered beings, policing the world at large has become a much more difficult task, often hindered by the politics involved and the need to be seen as neutral in all affairs to the public eye.
His marriage to Lady Blackhawk came as a surprise to many given his position of authority and the seemingly stubborn nature of their meetings, with each saving the other from danger time and time again, most often when told to stay away. The relationship blossomed and marriage became the only way forward for the two and when Zinda became pregnant 6 years later she soon retired from the public eye. The birth of his daughter was the happiest moment in his life, and when the news of her illness reached him it also became one of the saddest. He never left her bedside as Doctors and scientists did what they could to save her life, and in the end it was his blood that kept his little girl in his world. 7 years of constant testing finally came up with a solution, abeit not a perfect one but one that would keep her alive and well for the rest of her life. By her mid teens she had already begun training with her father and it filled him with pride to see her growing.
Since then SHIELD, and Captain Rogers have been busy keeping the influx of villians and criminal groups in check, assisting the many groups of heroes that came into being both openly and behind the scenes, more often than not dealing with the clean up and aftermath of superheroics, including the incarceration of the many rogue factions in the Raft. While Rogers would prefer to be at the forefront of the hero comunity, fighting side by side with them he knows his era is coming to an end and that other heroes will be there to take his place...
