Description / Characteristics of this Role:

Bucky Barnes is Steve Rogers’ childhood best friend and a skilled soldier in the U.S. Army. Unlike Steve, Bucky was always strong, confident, and popular before the war. However, beneath his charm and cocky exterior, he deeply cares for Steve and sees himself as his protector. After Steve’s transformation into Captain America, their dynamic shifts—Bucky now follows Steve’s lead, but their bond remains unbreakable. He is a loyal and capable fighter, but war takes its toll on him, forcing him to face the brutality of combat and the reality of loss.

Bucky is charismatic, loyal, and protective of those he cares about. He has a natural leadership quality and confidence that makes him well-respected among his fellow soldiers. While he can be sarcastic and playful, especially with Steve, he’s also fiercely determined in battle. He doesn’t hesitate to put himself in harm’s way for others and has a deep sense of duty. However, as the war drags on, he starts to feel the weight of his experiences, making him more hardened and weary.

Bucky starts as a confident and battle-ready soldier, but as he fights alongside Captain America, he begins to understand the weight of being a hero. He experiences loss, hardship, and the brutality of war firsthand. His journey is one of loyalty, sacrifice, and eventually, tragedy. By the film’s end, he has proven himself as one of the most skilled and dedicated soldiers on the battlefield, but his fate remains uncertain as war consumes him.

Bucky’s voice should carry both charm and strength. He speaks with confidence, often playful and teasing when talking to Steve, but serious and authoritative when giving orders in battle. His voice can also carry a hint of weariness, reflecting the hardships of war.

• 
  Tone & Delivery: Warm, confident, and occasionally sarcastic. In intense moments, his tone becomes sharp and commanding.


•

• His speech is less formal, with contractions and a slightly sarcastic tone.
• Occasionally drops “g” sounds in words (e.g., “We ain’t losin’ this fight.” instead of “We aren’t losing this fight.”).

Description / Characteristics of this Role:

Peggy Carter is a highly skilled and determined British intelligence officer who plays a critical role in the formation of the Allied war efforts. As a key member of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), she is a fierce fighter, tactician, and leader. Peggy is smart, resourceful, and incredibly capable, with a strong sense of duty. She’s not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, even when it means defying authority or breaking the rules. While she’s highly professional, Peggy’s relationship with Steve Rogers shows her compassionate and vulnerable side. She has a quiet but deep affection for him, even though she often struggles with the fact that she’s a woman in a male-dominated field.

Peggy is strong-willed, confident, and a natural leader. She has a sharp mind and a no-nonsense approach to her work. Though she’s often stoic, she possesses a dry wit and a sharp tongue when needed. She’s deeply principled and passionate about doing what’s right, regardless of the challenges she faces as a woman in a wartime setting. Peggy has a strong sense of loyalty, particularly to Steve Rogers, with whom she shares a deep, unspoken bond. As someone who frequently fights in a man's world, she is fiercely independent and determined to prove herself.

• 
  Steve Rogers (Captain America) – Steve is Peggy’s main emotional connection.

Peggy begins as a fierce, independent woman who is often underestimated because of her gender. As the story progresses, she proves herself to be a skilled leader and vital player in the Allied war effort. Her arc revolves around balancing her personal and professional life, particularly her unspoken feelings for Steve Rogers, and carving out her place in a world that isn’t always welcoming to women in combat roles. By the end of the story, she becomes one of the most respected figures in the intelligence community, gaining recognition for her contributions.

Peggy’s voice should be confident, poised, and sharp. She has a commanding presence, but her tone can soften when she speaks about Steve or her personal convictions. Her voice reflects her intelligence, determination, and strength, but also conveys the vulnerability that she keeps hidden behind her tough exterior.

• 
  Tone & Delivery: Clear, direct, and authoritative, with a calm and composed quality. Her tone should reflect both confidence and warmth when speaking about important matters, but also a hint of determination and resolve.


•

•

Her tone can shift from business-like to softer, especially when discussing personal matters.

Character Description / Characteristics of this Role:

Izzy is a highly skilled and brilliant technician who specializes in engineering, hacking, and all things tech-related. A self-taught prodigy, she has a natural talent for understanding and manipulating complex systems, often seeing patterns others can't. Izzy is resourceful, quick-thinking, and has an almost obsessive attention to detail. Her technical expertise is critical in navigating the digital landscape of "The Vortex" and its destructive capabilities. She is calm under pressure, preferring to work behind the scenes, but her contributions are essential to the team's success. Though she may come off as distant or introverted at times, Izzy’s sharp wit and dry humor often show through when she’s comfortable. Her loyalty to the team is unshakable, and she’s willing to take extreme risks if it means protecting her friends and ensuring that the device does not fall into the wrong hands.

Izzy is intelligent, pragmatic, and fiercely independent. She doesn't trust easily but holds a deep loyalty to those she deems worthy of it. Highly analytical, Izzy approaches problems methodically and isn't swayed by emotion in critical moments. However, beneath her analytical nature is a dry sense of humor and a sharp wit. She's not the type to engage in a lot of small talk, but when she does speak, it's usually with purpose, and her words are often laced with cleverness or sarcasm. Her confidence is not outwardly displayed; rather, she lets her work speak for her. She tends to be a problem-solver, always thinking of a plan B, C, or even D.

• Steve Rogers (Captain America) – While Steve is a man of action, Izzy is the one who makes sure that his plans go smoothly. The two have a respectful working relationship, with Izzy often providing the tech-based support Steve needs to navigate complex situations. She appreciates his leadership but may chafe at his "go hero" mentality, often preferring the quiet strategy that ensures success.

• Bucky Barnes – Izzy and Bucky share a mutual respect for each other’s skill sets. While Bucky is more about physical strength and combat, Izzy’s technical prowess is something Bucky values immensely. Their relationship is one of camaraderie, but with an undercurrent of friendly teasing, as they both have a dry sense of humor.

• Red Skull (Antagonist) – Izzy is the one who helps keep the team one step ahead of Red Skull’s plans by finding flaws in "The Vortex." While she initially believes in taking down the villain from a distance, her relationship with Red Skull becomes personal when she realizes how much his actions have put her team in jeopardy. Red Skull sees Izzy as a necessary evil—he doesn't like having her in his way, but he knows her skills could be valuable if he were to control her.

Izzy starts off as a bit of an enigma to the rest of the team—quiet, reserved, and only stepping into the spotlight when necessary. Throughout the story, she learns to open up and fully integrate herself into the team, trusting others with her abilities and her knowledge. As the stakes grow higher with "The Vortex," Izzy realizes that her technical expertise is more than just a tool—it's the key to preventing mass destruction. By the end of the story, she has grown both as a technician and as a person, no longer simply working behind the scenes but becoming an integral part of the team’s fight against Red Skull and his chaos.

Izzy's voice is calm, clear, and methodical. She speaks with precision, choosing her words carefully and often breaking down complex ideas into simple, actionable instructions. There is a slight confidence in her tone, though it’s not overt. Her voice may have a hint of dryness or sarcasm, especially when she’s frustrated with her teammates' more impulsive tendencies. While her tone is rarely emotional, when she does speak about something important to her, there’s a quiet warmth that emerges.

Izzy’s tone is even and controlled. When discussing technical matters, her delivery is quick and sharp, as though she’s already thinking several steps ahead. She doesn’t waste time with unnecessary details and prefers to cut straight to the point. In moments of tension, her delivery becomes even more focused, almost like a laser beam aimed directly at solving the problem at hand. While she may not be as outwardly expressive, there’s a certain quiet intensity to her presence.

Izzy speaks in a precise, logical manner, with little to no filler words. When dealing with complex problems, she tends to break down issues into smaller, more manageable pieces and often speaks in technical terms. Despite her sometimes dry manner, she’s incredibly efficient in her communication, which earns her the respect of her teammates. When she’s frustrated or sarcastic, she might slip in a snarky comment or two, but it’s all delivered in a calm, almost detached manner.

Izzy is more restrained in terms of emotional expression, but she’s far from unemotional. Her emotional range tends to be more subdued—frustration manifests as irritation with her teammates or systems that aren't working as they should. When she’s scared or worried, it shows in her meticulous work, as she attempts to control everything around her. While she doesn’t openly show fear or vulnerability, moments of genuine concern or affection for her teammates do break through her tough exterior from time to time, especially as the stakes become higher.

Izzy’s accent is neutral American, without a strong regional influence. Her speech is crisp and clear, reflecting her upbringing in a tech-savvy environment. Her accent isn’t something that stands out; it’s the calm and methodical tone of her speech that leaves a lasting impression.

Character Description / Characteristics of this Role:

Logan is gritty, driven, and fiercely loyal to those he trusts. He is a soldier through and through, with a mind honed for combat tactics and survival. He is often skeptical of technology or overly complicated plans and prefers to rely on instinct and simple, effective action. Logan can be rough around the edges and may come across as cold or distant to those who don’t know him well.

Despite his hardened exterior, Logan carries the weight of past battles and the loss of comrades. This can make him cynical, but also fiercely protective of those still by his side. His strong moral code drives him to take on dangerous missions, even when the odds seem insurmountable.

Logan is pragmatic, decisive, and sometimes blunt. He doesn’t have time for fluff or distractions—his focus is on the mission and getting things done. While he may appear aloof or stoic, there’s a deep sense of loyalty to those he considers family, especially Steve and Bucky. He’s a realist and often plays the role of the “voice of reason,” offering practical solutions in the heat of battle. His sarcasm and dry humor can also serve as a coping mechanism for dealing with the stakes of the war.

• Steve Rogers (Captain America) – Logan and Steve share a deep bond formed during the war, though their relationship is complicated by their differing philosophies. While they still have a deep respect for one another, Logan may struggle with Steve’s unwavering idealism and sense of duty. Their friendship is a pillar in the story but also a point of conflict.

• Bucky Barnes – Logan and Bucky have a strained but respectful relationship. Having both fought alongside Steve in the past, Logan feels a connection to Bucky, but the circumstances of their separate paths since the war have left some unresolved tension.

• The Team – Logan’s interactions with other members of the team may vary depending on their roles and personalities. He has a deep respect for Peggy Carter but can clash with her on strategies. His relationship with other team members would be one of mentorship or cautious partnership.

Logan’s journey revolves around redemption, reconciling with his past, and making peace with the choices he’s had to make. He is forced to confront his demons, whether personal losses or past mistakes, as he works to stop The Vortex. His arc involves coming to terms with his complicated relationships, particularly with Steve, and proving that even a hardened soldier can still fight for what’s right, no matter how brutal or complicated the battle is.

Logan’s voice should be gruff, deep, and seasoned from years of battle. His tone should convey authority and strength, but also a hint of weariness from the weight of his experiences. His delivery is direct, no-nonsense, and often blunt. He’s not one for flowery words or sentiments, but when he speaks, it’s usually impactful and to the point.

•

1. “We don’t have time for a plan. We’ve got a job to do. Stick to the mission, and we’ll make it through.”
2. “You think this ends with a handshake and a medal, Rogers? This war never ends. It just changes.”
3. “I’ve seen enough people get hurt over this kind of thing. You want to stop that? Follow me.”

Character Description / Characteristics of this Role:

Red Skull is the embodiment of ruthless ambition, power, and malevolence. A former Nazi officer who rose to prominence due to his intelligence and cruelty, he is a mastermind with a deep desire for control over the world. Red Skull is a man driven by a distorted vision of order and the supremacy of his ideals, believing that the world must be reshaped under his rule. He is cold, calculating, and enjoys manipulating people to do his bidding. His past experiences have shaped him into a man who believes that sacrifice and violence are necessary to create a "perfect" world. The creation of "The Vortex" is a key part of his plan to assert dominance and eliminate all those who stand in his way. Though he has a deep-seated hatred for those who oppose him, he is also highly intelligent, able to anticipate moves and outmaneuver his enemies with strategic precision.

Red Skull is manipulative, charismatic in a twisted way, and completely devoid of moral qualms. He is a brilliant strategist, always thinking several steps ahead and often making decisions that benefit him in the long run. His arrogance is one of his defining characteristics—he truly believes that his way is the only way for humanity to thrive. He is unwavering in his pursuit of power and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even if it means destroying everyone around him. Despite his imposing demeanor, Red Skull has moments of vulnerability, especially when it comes to his obsession with control and his fear of failure.

• Steve Rogers (Captain America) – Red Skull sees Steve as a symbol of the things that stand in his way—hope, heroism, and the ideals of justice. Their rivalry is deeply personal, and Red Skull enjoys playing mind games with Steve, often seeking to break him both physically and mentally. He believes that by defeating Steve, he will prove the superiority of his ideology.

• Logan (The Creator of The Vortex) – Red Skull and Logan share a complicated and antagonistic relationship. While Logan’s creation of The Vortex threatens Red Skull’s ambitions, Red Skull sees potential in the device and its power. He may try to manipulate Logan into aligning with him, but Red Skull's need for dominance means he will ultimately see Logan as expendable.

• Isabelle (The Team Member) – Red Skull may view Isabelle as an obstacle in his path, someone who disrupts his plans and fights against the power he wishes to wield. He has little regard for her abilities and sees her as yet another opponent to crush.

Red Skull’s arc revolves around his obsessive pursuit of power and control. Initially, he believes that he alone can reshape the world into his ideal version, but as he faces opposition from Steve, Logan, and others, his grip on reality begins to slip. His arrogance blinds him to the very real threats closing in on him, and by the end of the story, he must confront the possibility that his hubris could be his undoing. His arc will challenge his understanding of power, ultimately leading him to a bitter realization that, despite all his efforts, he may have only created the conditions for his downfall.

Red Skull’s voice is deep, commanding, and full of malice. His tone is usually cold and sharp, reflecting his unyielding nature and his disdain for weakness. When he speaks, his words are deliberate, with an air of superiority. He can switch from calm and calculated to enraged when his plans are thwarted, revealing his deep-rooted anger and frustration. His voice should convey both intellect and cruelty.

Red Skull's delivery is authoritative and venomous, with a sneering undertone that reflects his belief in his own superiority. He speaks with confidence and power, often with a deliberate cadence designed to intimidate. When enraged, his tone becomes harsher, and he loses the calm, collected nature he usually maintains.

Red Skull’s speech is precise, calculated, and eloquent. He doesn’t waste words and always chooses his language carefully, ensuring that his words carry weight. His speech can be grandiose, often laced with references to his philosophy of power and control. When addressing his enemies, his words drip with disdain, as he seeks to belittle them.

Red Skull is mostly cold and calculating, rarely allowing his emotions to show. However, when his plans are disrupted, or when he is confronted with the reality of failure, his anger becomes more apparent. His emotional range shifts between extreme arrogance, quiet menace, and moments of violent outbursts, especially when he feels his power slipping away. He rarely shows vulnerability, but when he does, it’s in the form of frustration or deep, seething anger.

A German accent, refined but laced with a sense of authority and menace. His speech should have a formal, commanding tone, but with an edge that reflects his villainous nature. His accent should give him a sense of old-world power, invoking both history and danger.
