PERSONALITY: Bucky Barnes is one tired individual. Born in 1917, Bucky's an old man who doesn't look it due to the super soldier serum that was given to him when he first died. Before that, before his death, Bucky was a fun loving, loyal, devoted, man who would do anything for his friends. He was a guy who liked a good drink, a good girl, and hanging out with people he cared about. When World War II started, he signed up to fight because of his belief in his country and his want to protect those that he loved back home.

And then he died. But he got better. Except of course, there were strings attached. When he was resurrected, Bucky was brainwashed and turned into a merciless killing machine, a weapon used by HYDRA to take out those that they wanted eliminated. While he was the Winter Soldier, he had no remorse and no regrets about what he did. He was made to kill and he would kill. Complying was the most important thing to him even if there was no way that he couldn't comply. Even the sight of Steve Rogers, his best friend, couldn't completely break him of that brainwashing and he was violent and aggressive with his old friend, uncaring if he lived or died.

But Steve was eventually able to get through to Bucky and he was free of the brainwashing for the moment. The Bucky of the past is dead and gone though and the Bucky of now is one who's serious and introverted, not wanting to be too close to people especially those he doesn't know. He experiences terrible nightmares of his past and carries massive guilt on his shoulders. He's been trying to make amends by helping people and teaming up with Sam Wilson to be on the good side of things but he still doesn't know if that will be enough to completely free him of what he'd done in the past. But, he's also okay with carrying that weight because he knows what he did, he admits, he doesn't try and make excuses for it.

Still, it's not all doom and gloom with him. Bucky still has a sense of humor though it's more dry and sarcastic now and he can still make connections with people, both for friendship and romance. He can just be awkward about it, unsure of how to proceed sometimes. He's old fashioned and sometimes walking on Bambi legs because though he's been in the modern world awhile, he spent some of that time as a weapon who had nothing else to live for. So, he's learning how to do that too, how to be a man and just live his life without constantly having to pick up arms and fight.
