James Buchanan Barnes
Height; 5'11
Weight; 190 lbs
General Appearance; Bucky has long, untidy dark brown hair and pale blue eyes that often appear gray, with a wide jaw and dimpled chin. He doesn't take much care in his physical appearance anymore, so it's not uncommon to see stubbled growth on his face, and his lack of a full beard seems to be more genetic than conscious decision on his part. He has sturdy, squared-off frame and a muscular build overall. His left arm has been replaced by a bionic prosthesis, with old, heavy scarring around the juncture of metal and skin.
Physical Mannerisms; In a fight he moves with brutal efficiency, his whole body at use as a weapon against his opponent. When inert, he tends towards a slight slouch, like he's waiting to be put into motion again by some outside command. Generally he carries himself slowly and with purpose, aware of his environment and reacting only as necessary to it. His head remains tucked low, eyes on his point of focus with almost frightening intensity. He does not often fidget or move restlessly, unless in one of his more mentally unstable moments.
Verbal Mannerisms; Bucky doesn't waste words. Questions are generally food and answers truncated, to the point. His voice is much softer than one might expect, low and pleasant if a little rusty from general disuse. He can speak a number of languages with a satisfactory accent, but as is depressingly the case for him he's lost his own along the way.
Fashion; His uniform as the Soldier was not a choice. The only voluntary choice he makes in his clothing is to seize upon second-handed and lower-class clothing, used to hide himself and let him blend in with the 'invisible' amongst us, the transient and vagrant. His generally unkempt appearance furthers this image. He knows how to hide in plain sight, to wait for extraction, as he has no real desire to be a part of the society around him. He does tend towards the color blue when stealing clothing, even if he doesn't know why.
Etc; Bucky's scent would be The Robotic Scarab. Also, feel free to observe him in action.
