Bucky Dutton

Bucky Dutton is a student-athlete attending Thirlcrest Academy. Currently, he is the first-string Left Tackle on the Varsity team, and holds a position within the Varsity Council.
==Appearance==
When it comes down to it, Bucky is one of the easiest Jocks to recognize, thanks to his unique look among the group of athletes. Anyone could easily point him out in a crowd with little to no effort, both because of his signature style and prominent figure. Towering over most of the other Jocks, Bucky stands at a staggering 6'5", making him the third tallest Jock on campus. Despite his height, no one would regard him as lanky. Bucky weighs an impressive 317 pounds, which attests to his dominance on the field. Impressively, even at his weight, Bucky manages to maintain a relatively clear /six-pack/, so he's not fat.
Bucky’s hair, veiled in a coffee brown pigmentation, is always kept at a fair length and styled in a mullet. The business side of his hair is styled in a messy fringe, framing his face well, while the party side is kept long enough to turn heads and garner attention— something he enjoys a lot. To further attest to his desire for attention, Bucky has grown out his facial hair. He claims he "wants to look older," though it's obvious he just wanted something new for people to compliment.
Slightly hidden by his farmer's tan, Bucky's face is littered with freckles that oddly complement his rather pale skin. The only color on him is relegated to his face and arms, sporting an insanely defined farmer's tan. It's like night and day when Bucky's at the beach; his entire torso and legs are akin to a blank sheet of paper, while his face and arms have a light caramel glaze.
It's obvious to anyone who glances at him that he's no string bean, unlike Aaron Rosso. Bucky is a corn-fed, workhorse of a man. On the field, Bucky is known for his ability to take on two defensive linemen at once to protect his pocket. Off the field, everyone who attends morning weights with Bucky can attest to his strength, considering he can rep out 385 on bench. Bucky's arms are built like cannons, and if it weren't for his excessively built-up biceps, his chest would take the cake for his best muscle group.
Hailing from the Lone Star State, Bucky's style is more Southern than most on campus. On campus, he enjoys "repping" the Knights brand and can always be seen in his letterman jacket or sporting one of the many free T-Shirts that coach has gifted him over the years. Off-campus, Bucky usually wears his Old Seaman work-shirt. Both outfits are paired with Wranglers, Cinch, or Buckle jeans, as well as his signature belt and buckle and boots. More often than not, Bucky's outfit is topped off with his leather Stetson.
==Characteristics==
Bucky is often pointed out as one of the key players within how the Jocks conduct themselves considering he's in the upper-echelon of Varsity's social hierarchy. Whenever TJ and Igor are absent, Bucky is /the/ person that everyone looks to for answers. This influx of attention and admiration from his peers has resulted in the fluctuation of Bucky's -- already quite massive -- ego over his years in the academy. Fueled by a constant stream of validation that other Jocks and Cheerleaders endlessly bestow upon him, Bucky has gotten quite full of himself. And, while most students still find a way to admire Bucky for his expectational football skills, likeable personality, or overall enjoyable presence, there is still a large enough portion of the student populace that find him a pain to be around.
That same group of people may describe Bucky as abrasive, annoying, and unbearingly loud. Honestly, depending on the day, Bucky fits every descriptor. It's almost as if Bucky's voice is on a constant high. Where most people have outside-voices and inside-voices, Bucky's vocal range would better be described as an outside-voice and a more-outside-voice; which Bucky's honestly quite oblivious to. Somehow, Bucky still finds a way to speak slower than molasses even with such a loud voice. Bucky tends to savor every syllable he speaks, letting them all roll of his tongue smoothly; turning every sentence he says into a smooth, Southern soup of words. His slow speaking pattern actually helps emphasize and accentuate his ever-so-present Southern draw.
As of recent, Bucky has been doping up more than ever... With the supervision of Coach Holtz, of course. And with this influx of steroids in his system, Bucky has been more prone to mood-swings, keeping him in touch with his feminine side! Bucky's short-temper has been on an even tighter timing lately, with the fuse running short almost daily. To help preserve his energy, Bucky has started to jump to conclusions more frequently and handle every issue in the way he knows best; a good 'ole ass-whooping. With the exception of cheerleaders, Bucky is no foreigner to laying his hands on others in order to get a point across; even some Jocks coming into his crosshair when it really comes down to it. Though, it's not as though Bucky doesn't enjoy it. In-fact, Bucky sees it kind of like a sport. Akin to a gladiator, Bucky sometimes resorts to fighting things out just to "earn more glory," as he likes to put it.
Usually, when it comes to academics and things similar to that, Bucky is not the brightest by any means. If it weren't for the nerds Bucky forced paid to do his homework, Bucky probably wouldn't be playing football at all. On the other hand, however; socially, Bucky is actually quite in-touch and overall knowledgeable. Bucky finds it extremely easy to make friendships and build bonds via multiple means, and he also has a decent time extorting those under him into doing his bidding without having to resort to physical intimidation or violence. Bucky also tends to attempt to talk things out and over with other members of Varsity before resorting to ulterior motives to enforce his will, as he doesn't really like the idea of in-fighting; thinking that a strong group needs a strong bond, and physical altercations do nothing other than further ties. 
Either way, Bucky is no stranger to anyone on campus, and can usually be found all over campus doing God knows what. Enjoying the pass-time of antagonizing people, inciting them to swing on him -- which is something he enjoys just as much as he does football -- as well as bullying anyone who sports a green vest, or forcing them to take his pile of homework for the week. On the other hand, Bucky can also almost always be seen surrounded by his best buds 'n pals, who just so happen to also be Jocks. Most of the student populace try to avoid Bucky's bad-side, and succeed at it quite well considering Bucky isn't usually one to try and find problems, and instead likes letting them come to him. Sometimes Bucky will even go out of his way to solve problems, and be an actual helpful and genuine person -- though it's becoming more rare to see this side of him.
==Character Background==
Claiming the birthplace of the World's one-and-only Bucky Dutton, Aledo, Texas was were the future football-star drew his first breath July 11th, 1989. Bucky's upbringing was anything other than difficult for the most part. Other than the overbearing physical and mental anguish that Bucky was put through via his parents and their extreme training regimes that Bucky had to take part in, he had an expansive and well-rounded childhood. Rolling hills cascaded all around his nearly two-million dollar household on the 6,700-acre plot of land that the Dutton family operated their ranch on. Despite how Bucky may come off sometimes, he is actually extremely well-off, and was exposed to constant spoiling from his parents no matter the occasion nor ask.
Bucky's parents were both successful in their own rights. His father, who was now at the helm of the Dutton Ranch, was once a nationally ranked, college wrestler; his name well known throughout the entire country by those who kept up with college athletics. On the other hand, Mama Dutton – so the boys’ like to call her – formerly held the World’s record for the 400-meter dash in the women’s division, and was all-around one of the best female track athletes in the nation. However. after marrying she did not continue her athletic ventures; cooping herself up on the Dutton Ranch, tending to her garden and growing a small collective of fruits and vegetables to sell at farmers markets. Not for money, just for fun.
Bucky's father had a passion for football. More specifically, he had a passion for nurturing football legends. Prior to Bucky's birth and development into a young man, John -- Bucky's father -- had busied himself with assisting in the Aledo High School football and wrestling teams. Bucky, who obviously garnered a deep love for the sport at a young age due to the excessive exposure to it, was obviously influenced by his father's passion as well. Bucky's sports journey began with flag football once he turned seven years old. Quickly progressing, though, he was moving on to full-contact by the age of ten. And, despite their mother's concerns, Bucky and his brother Dean were dedicated to maintaining peak physical condition thoroughly healthy eating and regular exercise. 
Bucky's large stature, inherited from his blood line of powerful relatives and impressive forefathers, helped him excel in various sports -- such as football, wrestling, and rodeo. Bucky achieved significant success in high school football, even earning a spot on the varsity team as a freshman. However, feeling the pressure to improve, Bucky's small, child-like brain couldn't help but turn to anabolic steroids; believing that they would enhance his strength, speed, and growth as a player. His steroid use led to his increased size and performance, but also caused emotional instability and conflict within his family. 
After the second violent altercation with his father, Bucky was sent to Thirlcrest, where he continued to grow and develop as an athlete. Despite the challenges, his coaches recognized his potential, and he aimed to make a significant impact in his junior year of high school -- something he achieved greatly.
==Relationships==
===T.J. "Hangaround Crusher" Smith===
Best Friend | Close.Bucky and T.J. are unlikely friends, especially considering Bucky isn't foreign to saying a variety of racial slurs, no matter the place nor audience. However, a friendship prospered as Bucky evaluated T.J. as "one of the good ones," and began warming up to his African-American teammate. They can often be seen around campus together, usually with T.J. upset at bucky for calling him n[basketball-human]r, or admiring bad-bitches around campus.
=== Igor "Naggor" Kozryev ===
Best Friend | Close.Igor was a rather late arrival on the football team, however it was evident that he would be a powerhouse from the beginning. Bucky was drawn to the guy rather early on considering they shared a relatively similar size, and they've been rather close ever since. Bucky will always be there to back Igor up with his shenanigans or whenever he's in the midst of a fight. They can usually be seen bullying geeks and outcasts, or grabbing a bite to eat from the cafe.
=== Layla "Laylur" Covington ===
Ex-Girlfriend | No contact.Layla is Bucky's ex-girlfriend, and arguably one of the most influential people in his growth as of late. Their relationship spiraled from a work-force acquaintancy, as Bucky was originally pimping Layla out to make a quick buck. However, the both of them soon developed feelings for each other and began dating. They were the most well-known couple on campus for quite a while, and while Layla's faith was brought into question countless times, Bucky swore that he only had eyes for her. Going from a toxic relationship, where Bucky would put his hands on Layla whenever she spoke out of turn, to one that most would strive to obtain-at least from what the public had seen-the two's journey was filled with ups and downs. Alas, Layla had disappeared for quite some time, Bucky soon connecting the dots and assuming she had been abducted by the C.I.A; it was only right for him to let go, ready to flirt with anything he saw.
=== Roy "Boss-Man" Rianelli ===
Friend | Role model.Roy is one of Bucky's many friends, and while they weren't extremely close, the two of them were there for each other whenever the situation called for it. Roy was Bucky's superior, one of the only ones he actually enjoyed listening to, resonating with most of his decisions. After his departure, Bucky couldn't help but feel as though Varsity as a whole wasn't the same. Bucky admires Roy and tries to be similar to him in some aspects, envying his ability to solve nearly anything socially. Someday Bucky hopes he can leave an impression even somewhat similar to Roy's on Varsity before he graduates.
=== Jennifer "Jen-Meister" Cho ===
Friend | BonhomieUnbeknownst to Bucky, Jennifer doesn't really like him all that much. He's much too oblivious to the fact, thinking he's too good to not be enjoyed by everyone he's around. He usually finds himself standing up for and protecting Jennifer, whether it be through genuine means or her malicious use of his indomitable physical prowess. Usually, Bucky enjoys her company and thinks of her with good spirits; however, when it comes to her more aggressive, and demanding side -- like the one shown during her argument with T.J. at the mini-golf course -- Bucky can't help but find her to be an annoying ass-hole.
Coincidentally, the two actually have a more in-touch relationship over the internet. They have found themselves deep in an internet-relationship where either party catfishes the other, with their aliases being bbw_shelby and big4lbino_buII.
=== Football Team ===
Family | Protective.Bucky's been around long enough to know the ins and outs of Thirlcrest, and he spends a lot of his time teaching his teammates things he wish someone taught him when he was first enrolled into the academy. The guys on the team are around so much that they start to feel like family after a while, and Bucky's not one to skip out on family. He is always there to back them up in fights and disputes, and will be by their side if they're ever to need advice while in a difficult situation. He's usually found with them in a group, cracking jokes and bullying nerds with them. Without the football team, Bucky wouldn't be the same man he is today.
=== Cheerleading Team ===
Cherished | Overprotective.Just like the football team, Bucky's been around the cheerleaders for quite some time, watching from the sidelines as all of their drama took place. Usually, Bucky tends to leave himself void of any of their presence, especially after Layla. However, that isn't to say that Bucky won't be there to defend them. In-fact, Bucky is one of the biggest white-knights on the team, always being there to ensure everyone not only keeps their hands off of the girls, but keeps their word-choice with them clean of any insulting terms. The cheerleaders can always count on Bucky to defend them against people who are only there to hurt them or their feelings, even if that person is a Jock as well.
