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: Clint Barton (Hawkeye)
Canon: Marvel Avengers Movie
Reference Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Avengers_(2012_film)

Character History: Hawkeye is an agent for S.H.I.E.L.D., and a master archer who uses his unique bow and arrow set to launch everything from grappling hooks to bombs towards his targets. His uniqueness in the
“save-the-world-from-destructive-otherworldly-powers” team known as Avengers is that he is 100% human. Though he bears the title of the “World’s Greatest Marksman”, Hawkeye’s skills and talents are cultured through a mix of blood, sweat, and naturally damn good eye sight. Hawkeye is also known for being an expert marksman, exceptional fencer and acrobat.

Hawkeye’s past is a bit mysterious and tragic, (and involves a lot of Marvel retconning) but he grew up in a circus carnival, learning his trade.
After some time doing shady criminal things, he was eventually recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. working for Nick Fury and the organization as an agent. He is an orphan and due to the sniper aspect of his work, a natural loner who prefers to observe things from afar. Content with being under the radar and off by himself, his best friend is Natasha Romanov (The Black Widow); a friendship built of the fact that both of them have a skill set that keeps them loners.

Personality:
Hawkeye is easygoing and uncomplicated though he has a quick tongue and a snarky sense of humor. He tends to react rather than act in his interactions with people and so winds up the quiet one in the background without minding much. He respects others for their abilities and at the same time is willing to give others a second chance rather than dismiss them because of their ways. Hawkeye realizes that he is not a “superhero” like the others but has no problems with the limitations of his humanity. He knows what he is good at and he knows he’s the best at it- it’s not arrogance, it’s professional pride.

A man who doesn’t have much of a private life outside of work, Hawkeye likes what he does, enjoys working with the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization and doesn’t care much about the complexities or politics. A simple man with a level head and a sniper’s mentality, Hawkeye trusts in his upper management to take care of the paperwork and just tell him where, when and what to shoot. In return, he makes sure to always hit the target.

Writing Sample:

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
No. They might be. So?

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
Peregrine Falcon. They’re fast.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Nope.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
Whatever it gets served on? I don't care.

Of course.
