OOC:

PLAYER NAME: MerryB
AGE: 34
CONTACT: PM this journal

IC:

CHARACTER NAME: Clinton Francis (shuddup) Barton
CANON: MCU [Earth-199999], with possibility of compatible details sneaking in from mainstream comicverse[Earth-616] and the Ultimate version[Earth-1610].
CANON POINT: post-Infinity War
CRAU: No
AGE: 47
AGENT OF DESTINY: No
BACKGROUND:
[MCU Wiki]

POWERS/ABILITIES:
• enhanced hearing (thanks, S.H.I.E.L.D.; surgical implants more than cured partial deafness)
• enhanced vision (ditto; eyes had been hazel before blinded on a mission, woke up with new blue ones that he can sometimes consciously focus like riflescopes). Exceptional detail recognition, distance vision, and motion sensing.
• dead reckoning (learned)
• master-level archer: exceptional aim, seen "send[ing] an arrow into moving targets with pin point accuracy". Supranormal spacial awareness, split-second calculation and anticipation demonstrated by shooting "an enemy warrior off a fast moving vehicle while looking the other way." [199999] His precision is not affected by arrows having different attachments (grappling wire, explosives, etc. from his trick quiver) so he's adaptable; can fire arrows with supranormal rapidity.
• hand-to-hand combat, both armed and un-. (He's shown sometimes using his bow as a shortstaff.) He's extremely advanced as he's shown as a formidable opponent to Black Widow. Of course she beats him, but it takes her whole minutes longer to knock him out while she's on her feet than it takes her to pwn a roomful of mafiosos while tied to a chair.
• speaking of adaptability and combat: One trick Clint and Tasha have in common is a mastery of situational awareness and being able to use an opponent's surroundings against them. Clint focuses this mainly on an "uncanny knack for using miscellaneous hand-held objects as projectile weapons".[1610] They've compared notes (played like a scoring game) on most creative/unexpected/ironic things they've weaponized.
• veteran espionage operative, whose training, while (paraphrasing Tasha) not covering gods and magic, probably does include other forms of weaponry and tactics.
• can pilot small aircraft.
• can draw really well. Not so great at making things up but can draw things he's seen very accurately, from maps to portraits.

STARTING EQUIPMENT: You'd think his daemon would take the shape of a hawk… but no, it takes the shape of a spider. With a smokey female voice. (Future nicknames for it may include "Natd" ("Nattered"), "Blackd", "Rovd"/"Novd".) Just as well… he takes info and instruction from her original better than just about anyone else. Plus, super easy for daemon to stay on his person near-invisibly.

SAMPLES:

1. Scorched Multilog (plus extra facetwin fun)
2. Zombie meme
3. butt appreciation meme (plus Nat and Cap)


EXIT STRATEGY: Headcanon based on SPOILER FOR END OF "INFINITY WAR"

(Thanos might [as] well be an agent, witting or un-, of D.E.S.T.I.N.Y.)

When half the Earth's population abruptly disintegrated, that tragically included Clint's wife and sons. He tried to flee with his daughter who then also turned to ash in his arms. The combination of her ashes and Barton's fists hitting the ground seemed to collapse it beneath him, crumbling away as the people had, and he blacked out with grief and fury with a last sensation of falling. He woke up in Xistentia. What's keeping him basically on his feet and coping is the suspicion nothing is real and he's had a psychotic break, which he might as well make the best of, in the hopes when he comes out of it, his wife and kids will be fine. He also spent so much time away from them, dissociation/confusion—imagining himself in different times (perhaps before he married Laura or the kids were born)—is horrifically easy. He'll alternate between his usual self and falling through the fissures.
