Re: Characters defined by circumstances

[nyxelestia]

In a sense, I feel like his character is defined by gaining a tremendous power to go with that core personality of his, and severe displacement. It's absolutely possible for him to exist in an AU - but the same can be said for any character. Some of them fit into AUs easier or harder than others, but all of them can.

I compare him to, say, Thor, who is strongly defined by his family circumstances (being the favored son, backstabbed by the brother he loved, thrown out on his own and needing to work his way back) - that works in nearly any setting and is much easier than Steve's circumstances.

But then, I'm kind of picky about characterization, and while I may still enjoy a story, I tend to look at many/most fanfics and mentally complain about how OOC it is.

You can get that pretty easily without a super serum or magic, though. For a lot of people, we can call that "puberty." Someone feeling like they don't belong in a "new" body could also be the result of a recently cured illness, a new diet/workout routine, etc, etc. There are more possibilities than people realize, which is probably why I think the Avengers are one of the casts that fit the most easily in AUs.

Re: Characters defined by circumstances

Like I said, I don't think it's impossible. It's just that whenever I see him in an AU, his story isn't anything close to that, and it shows in his 'current' characterization. Then again, I see most fanfics as "enjoyable but still OOC", and I'm apparently a wee bit of a stickler about characterization when I bother to get into it/pay attention.

Ah, what you say has weight. I guess it just matters on how flexible you are on them.
