**Captain America**is the main protagonist of *Captain America: Modern Soldier.*He is America's first Super Soldier and was a hero hailing from World War II who would be revived into the modern world, becoming a symbol of freedom and patriotism.

## Personality

Considered by many as the world's greatest hero, Captain America has been defined by his courage and righteousness. He has always had a noble and honest spirit, intolerant towards injustice and abuses of power. Since he grew up weak and small, he learned on his own that true strength is having the courage to fight against abuse no matter one's power and having compassion for the innocent. Despite being transformed into a perfect human, Captain America maintained his original spirit and character. Since his reawakening, he was saddened by losing so much of his time but still retains the values he had since the 1940s. Due to his famed past exploits and continued works to save the world, America is generally respected by many; even if he doesn't seek acknowledgement for his deeds. He was also very empathetic.

Captain America is a very dedicated person and tried to be of service in whatever way he could. He finds the courage to defend the weak and innocent, not hesitating to stand up to corrupt bureacrats, hypocritical authority figures or powerful beings. A true hero, America is more than willing to sacrifice himself to protect others. He is not afraid to do what's right for the greater good and make the tough choices, even if it might be costly to him personally. As a soldier, America knows full well that war has its casualties and some of his dearest friends or even himself may need to make the ultimate sacrifice. He was willing to justify violence and killing to defend others and to preserve peace and freedom. Nevertheless, America will always prioritize civilian lives.

America demonstrates impressive charisma and leadership skills, being able to command respect from many and undying loyalty. His extraodinary ability was not to only inspire the nobility in others, but also assess combat situations and come up with effective strategies. America's uncompromising sense of morality and selflessness sometimes puts him at odds with others, leading to several moments of bickering, arguments and even physical fights over the direction in how to protect people. While his sense of duty exceeds his personal feelings, his sense of loyalty is difficult to surpass.

Since being defrosted, America was lost in a world he no longer knew. The world had changed; though technology had greatly advanced, human morals were constantly being compromised in favor of political expediency. To make matters worse, most of the people he loved from his past were gone, or greatly aged. He didn't really have real life outside of being a soldier and did not know how to belong, striving to uphold his code of honor in this new complicated world. He is very protective of his friends from his past and is willing to go to great lengths to save them, being susceptible to emotional and violent acts to fulfill his goal.

America does have a darker side, however, subconsciously craving conflict and battles to avoid civilian life and being forced to confront all he'd lost. He also has a dislike for agencies or groups that express control over the individual due to having fought vigorously for his nations' freedom. America's career as a soldier has given him tremendous experience, enabling him to come up with the most effective battle plans. He is willing to accept those even on the other side of the battlefield, but at the same time he is always aware of his surroundings and the possible threat.
