CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Phil Coulson
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Appearance in Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and The Avengers)
Reference Link: Link

Character History: (As a minor character, there's not a lot of backstory available for Phil Coulson. Some of these are assumptions derived from his character and behavior in the movies)

SHIELD is a counter terrorism and covert agency run by a man named Nick Fury and Phil Coulson serves as his right hand man. It is assumed that he has been with the agency for many years. He appears to be a simple man and his life is primarily dedicated to his work, though he has managed to find some time to date. He has helped ensure the safety of the world numerous times and is often tasked with liaison jobs, otherwise also known as, cat herding. He has to make sure people are doing what needed to be done; it doesn't matter if they're superheroes or regular people. If something needed to be kept secret, he will make sure it is kept secret. If someone needed to be tasered to stay motivated, he'll do that too. The fate of the world is at stake, after all.

Personality: Coulson is a responsible and resourceful man. He excels at his job and is capable of remaining calm in all types of situations. He listens to orders and will do whatever it takes to get a job done. He takes things in stride and has an excellent poker face, too, managing to keep a straight face and demeanor no matter the situation. He's good at reading people and adapting to a situation quickly and efficiently. It is what makes him a good leader and subordinate. While he may seem stiff and serious, Coulson has an unexpected lighter side to him, often acting as a straight man and unintentionally delivering punch lines with his dry wit.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Phil. I've gone by Agent Coulson for so long, I believe there are people who think my first name is Agent. Not that I mind the formality.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
Yes, please. Leather shoes tend to chafe.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
I believe it was almost a full day. I was having a stare down during an interrogation. He was a tough nut to crack. But I got him to open up once I got around to arranging thumbtacks on the table.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Unfortunately, it comes with the job. Anyone could be a terrorist or a villain seeking to dominate the world. I just have to know when to put the suspicions aside. In this line of work, you won't last long if you can't trust your own team.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
An eagle. The bald eagle, specifically. Because it is a symbol of America.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
No. I can't afford to be.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
A paper plate. I don't have to wash up afterwards.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Yes. I'm aware of my limitations and my capabilities.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
When I was young, I stole my cousin's medicine and flushed a month's worth of it down the toilet. I thought they were drugs. I got into a lot of trouble for it.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Yes. I play a vital role assisting Director Fury in SHIELD. Though I can and will eventually be replaced.
