## Biography

### Life Before the War

Steven Rogers was born July 4th, 1916. Raised on the streets of Brooklyn, while Rogers lacked strength, a strong spirit grew in its place as well as his resourcefulness and strategic planning. Rogers grew to see violence as always the last option. Raised during the Great Depression also gifted him with a want to help others.

### Project Rebirth

Rogers enlisted immediately after the US had entered World War II, but he was denied enlistment. Hoping to take his mind off of it, Rogers began to spend his time at the movies. However, after seeing several horrifying Nazi News Reels, Rogers became determined to join the army and protect his country. He attempted to enlist eight more times, finding himself rejected each time.

## Personality

Captain America has been hailed as the world's first and greatest superhero, and for good reason. His courage, righteousness and dedication to honor and justice are unmatched by almost any other hero in the world. Captain America displays a great amount of empathy and inspiration, able to calmly deescalate threats and inspire those who have given up long ago to fight for what's right once again. Captain America values honesty, trust, kindness, and hard work. Having spent most of his life physically weak and frail, Captain America learned the value in personal courage and putting in the work, often being the first to recognize it in others.

Captain America holds strong convictions, strong enough that many end up seeing him as stubborn, as once he has his mind set on what he feels is right, very little will be able to deter him. This has made him a very dangerous opponent, no matter who faces him.
