CHARACTER
CHARACTER NAME: Tony Stark
SERIES: Marvel Cinematic Universe
CANON POINT: Near the end of Avengers (after beating Loki)
LOSS: Tony is going to be forced into a "normal work week." Monday through Friday, any alcohol that Tony touches will turn into water, keeping him from indulging in his favorite pastime. He also loses the ability to sleep past 8 AM on those days, no matter how late he was up the previous nights working.

ABOUT THE CHARACTER: Tony Stark is a capable, intelligent man, who is a genius in the fields of engineering and business. His intelligence is great, but that's not a facet of his personality usually shown, aside from the great amount of time he spends on his work. Rather, when one meets him, he gives the impression that he's a suave, debonair guy. In the words of Tony Stark himself, he's a "genius billionaire playboy philanthropist." He's very charismatic, and is known for using his charisma and wit to woo the women, help his business, and to cover up his myriad of character flaws.

These flaws are many and varied. He is, as mentioned, a witty individual, making quips on the spot. Some are genuinely funny, and others are completely inappropriate or subtle (or not-so-subtle) jabs at other people, but he doesn't seem to care either way. Tony definitely gives off the impression that he doesn't care about people, and that he is always number one in his own book. He rarely seems to consider the consequences of his actions at times, such as provoking Bruce Banner for the fun of it. Both Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff comment on his self-service. But this is something that Tony is working on, and more to the point, something that doesn't necessarily define him when the times are tough. In the end of the Avengers, he doesn't hesitate to lead a nuclear warhead into a portal, knowing it would likely kill him, but save millions of others- something Steve outright said that Tony would never do, playing the sacrifice.

Tony Stark is also an alcoholic, although he rarely seems to genuinely suffer from this character trait. He enjoys alcohol, and he enjoys getting drunk, but he can usually handle it. The only time it's ever shown as getting out of control was during his birthday party in Iron Man 2, when he got trashed while in his suit and had to get shut down by his best friend, James Rhodes. He has also been known to go as far as showing up and giving lectures to large crowds while being completely sloshed – something you could even say that he's known for.

Another major flaw is his apparent irresponsibility. Tony never held himself accountable for his actions – and because of his wealth, status, and charisma, nobody else did, either. After being captured by the Ten Rings and seeing the horrors his work unleashed on people with his own eyes, he began to change from that. He certainly takes responsibility for his actions afterwards – a bit too much responsibility, really. He held himself accountable for every Stark Industries weapon in the hands of those who would use them for evil. Although he did begin to take responsibility in this large way, his previous attitude still bleeds through in other ways, such as in his attitude towards others. It could be said that while he's turned into a responsible person in regards for the "big things," his attitude doesn't reach other issues.

Tony Stark, mostly because of the way he lived his life, didn't have many real friends. There were many ladies that he wooed, but they never meant anything to him. As it stands, he really has two people that he can trust and call his real friends; his former-secretary current-lover, Pepper Potts, and the liaison between the US military and Stark Industries, James Rhodes. He's loyal to his friends, those few that he can trust, and woe to anybody who would harm them. His new status as an Avenger is a bit complicated, as none of them genuinely seemed to trust each other to begin with. However, after fighting off an alien invasion and a demigod, Tony seems willing to trust them and fight with them.

Tony Stark is, in short, a wealthy, lady-charming businessman, as well as an engineering genius. He's spunky, has attitude, and also a huge sense of humor. But his heart is (now) in the right place, and even if he's an asshole, he's a likeable one. He has a complicated personality, but he's a very complex character. In the end, though, he's somebody you'd rather have with you than against you.

ABILITIES: Tony Stark is a genius when it comes to mechanical, electrical, chemical, and other forms of engineering. He built his first Iron Man suit in a cave, with a bunch of scraps. With proper materials and equipment, he built even more sophisticated, more powerful suits. He's also created a new element, condensed a massive, clean power source into something smaller than a can of soda, developed an incredibly sophisticated artificial intelligence, crafted the world's first three-dimensional holograms, and designed more advanced weaponry than the world's seen. Yeah, he's good.

Also, he'll be arriving with his Iron Man Mark VII suit, and odds are he'll end up getting back / making more suits in the castle. With the suit, he can fly, shoots lasers and repulsor blasts, lift tons, and fight like nobody's business. And since he's arriving with his suit and his loss is not JARVIS, he'll have an artificial intelligence program with him.

Here's his suit in action.

THIRD-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE: Why was it that every time he got into a major fight, his helmet was always the part of the suit that was completely scrapped? Torn off, crushed like a tin can, whatever. No matter who he fought, what the situation, it was always the helmet.

Or, well, in this case it had apparently been Thor, ripping it off to make sure he was alive.

Whatever, not important. What was important was that they took Loki into custody. And now he had finished putting his helmet back together.

He slipped it back on, the war-torn New York streets fading to black as the helmet reconnected with the rest of the suit's circuitry. "Jarvis, you on? This thing working?" Jarvis, technically J.A.R.V.I.S., was the artificial intelligence that Tony had developed to keep an eye on his house. Jarvis's role had expanded, though, now keeping him company in his suit (and performing several tasks from within,) as well as the new Stark Tower in New York, which had been the scene of a rather climatic battle.

In just a moment, the familiar HUD display came back on, giving Tony some light. "All functions seem operational," the suit's AI answered in his usual posh accent.

"Good. I have a date with a shawarma restaurant, and I do not intend to miss it." Not a usual date, but still important. Because one, he was hungry. Two, he wanted to try shawarma. And three, the team deserved to eat some food after fighting off a demigod and his army of alien soldiers.

It was odd, to think of himself as a part of a team. One thing that Natasha said about him, way back when she was observing him, was that he didn't play well with others. And he didn't – that was something he could admit easily. But he had somehow found himself listening to others, working as a team, and doing what needed to be done, even if it wasn't the best for him. It was weird. Felt kind of good… but weird.

"There may be a problem with that," Jarvis said, interrupting Tony's thoughts as the suit's viewing functionality was enabled, in effect giving Tony a view of the outside world once more. Except instead of showing New York, this was…. Definitely not New York. Or at least, not New York City. The city was full of concrete and half-destroyed buildings. Not trees and grass. And Tony was seeing a lot of trees and grass.

And a duck pond, but that was obviously unimportant.

"Jarvis," the billionaire said slowly, "where is this?"

"I don't know, sir. We don't have access to any Stark Industries satellites." After a pause, Jarvis added, "No other satellites are detected in orbit, either."

That was great. Just great. His suit was good, damn good, and he knew that if Jarvis wasn't picking up a satellite, it was because there weren't any to pick up. And that meant some very disturbing things. Like, for example, how the hell was he going to try shawarma now? "Any other signals out there?"

"Just a radio broadcast, sir."

"Good enough. Jarvis, hack the signal. Put on some AC/DC." In the suit, Tony was grinning. "Time to let this place know who they're messing with."

FIRST-PERSON JOURNAL SAMPLE:
[ Every resident of Paradisa with a working radio will suddenly find themselves rocking out to this number. That's when, BAM. Anybody out in the courtyard will see a red and gold power suit landing just outside the main entrance.

It's seen better days, that's for sure. Banged up, dented, scorched… are those laser burns? Either way, it looks warily around until speaking. He's talking through the radio, but an open journal on his person dictates his words through the journal as well. ]

I'm sure I don't have to tell you why this is a fantastically bad idea. I mean, really? Kidnapping me while I'm still in my armor? After I just used it to fight off an alien invasion?

There are bad ideas, and then there's this. On a scale of bad ideas, this one sets the new extreme.

So whoever did this? Consider undoing it.

[ There's a pause, and then he feels the need to add- ]

But hey, nice castle. Very stylish. A little old-fashioned for my tastes. Still beats the last time I was kidnapped, that's for sure.

Oh, and one last thing. Is there a shawarma place around here? I'm starving, and I was really looking forward to it. Really, you have no idea.

This is Iron Man. Out.
