Name/Handle: Ca
Contact: hotdoge @ plurk / hotdog#0520 @ discord
Reference: I'm under the grace period I believe!
Other characters: N/A
IN-CHARACTER:
Character name: Howard Stark
Character journal: speedboat
Series name: Agent Carter // Marvel Cinematic
Canon notes: Post Series finale
Species: Human
History: Wiki entry.
Personality: Brought up by humble people who were probably immigrants or first gens, Howard had an equally humble upbringing. He claims his mother sewed shirtwaists and his father sold fruit, but like every true Disney princess, he yearned for more. Though not much is known about Howard's early life, we know that he proved himself early on to be an utter genius in the fields of engineering and physics. He built an empire at a very young age and borne from that coupled with his lesser beginnings, he often exhibits arrogance to the point of alienating others. It's a coping mechanism, mainly, though he is self-aware enough to know how brilliant he is as well.
Howard is not good at cultivating nor maintaining relationships, however his charm and well-dressed good looks often curry him favor with the ladies, even if it is only for one night. He gives a lot of his one-night stands matching custom bracelets which is pretty gross since he never intends to talk to them again. This is because he's lonely and craves affection, but doesn't trust anyone enough to let them in. That said he does have friends, against all odds. Ana and Edwin Jarvis, his butler and his butler's wife, and Peggy Carter current agent of the SSR and formerly involved with Captain America, are all the friends he has (and needs) in the world. It would seem almost no one else can stand him, though he did work well with Erskine on Project Rebirth for the most part, if only because he can put aside some of his worse traits when working on something important.
Despite his rampant narcissism, he has nothing but respect for those who can match him or best him in certain arenas. Especially on an intellectual level, though he understands and supports military efforts as well. He also becomes attached to people quite quickly due to aforementioned loneliness and the fact that he clicks with so few other humans. When he does, he wants them to stay close (though he can be nomadic himself.) He tells Peggy that he loved Steve too, which would lead us to believe the men had much further interaction than we see on screen until we analyze Howard's character. He felt connected to Steve Rogers on a deep level because in a way he 'created' him, and as such he feels he shares the other man's accomplishments.
Howard is neurotic and awkward and strange; and he was probably bullied as a kid. He is constantly pictured on the outside, and only shows up every few episodes to cement this. He is lonely and needy but also craves control. He wants to know that his friends are where they are while he is wherever he wants to be. It's also likely that he knows prolonged exposure to himself makes most people go insane. It is because of this and his self-awareness that he loves the people who do choose to stay in his orbit without limit. He would do absolutely anything for Peggy and Jarvis, and will never stop searching for Steve either.
Impossibly stubborn and occasionally thoughtful, Howard is undeniably self-serving and self-obsessed, but he is hyper aware of his impact on the world and does want that impact to be wholly good. He thinks people who waste their intellect on evils are just that: a waste. He only throws himself into endeavors he believes will positively advance the human race. He's never mean for the sake of being mean as he is not a cruel man. Merely out of touch with reality and rather infuriating to be around. Most notable geniuses throughout history have been flighty and quirky, engaging in strange behaviors and possessing neuroses of all kinds. Howard is afraid of water, but owns boats and pools; he owns a flamingo for no known purpose. Generally: a weirdo though he can do almost anything except make a car fly.
Howard is also extremely invested in the happiness of the few friends he does have. Though on the surface he is raucous and extroverted, he gives nothing of himself to most. Jarvis and Peggy are of course, glaring exceptions to this. He respects Peggy more than most men and regards them both as his best (and only) confidants. Because he keeps so much inside, he can be prone to outbursts, often at inopportune times. An intoxicating blend of intolerable and charming, Howard is really one of a kind, often leading people to begrudgingly like him. He acts like he doesn't need the validation, but he has no qualms about admitting and exhibiting the fact that he constantly craves attention. He's akin to a small yippy dog nipping at the heels of anyone who dare ignore him.
