( rahul kohli. 36. he/they. cis man. ) are you a HERO? something tells me that a bag of frozen peas, empty coffee cups, a quiver full of trick arrows make you who you are, CLINT BARTON. with the powers of MASTER ARCHERY SKILLS, you’re sure to have a friendly, defiant personality — and you definitely belong to SHIELD. were you listening to HELP I’M ALIVE by METRIC on your way to the subway? it suits you. we can’t wait to see what you do next!

character name: clinton francis “clint” barton age: 36 faceclaim: rahul kohli voiceclaim: troy baker bc this masterpiece is something for sure (i’m not here for renner & bless rahul he can’t do an american accent to save their life) skill set: master archer, master martial artist, affiliations: the avengers, shield family: harold barton (father, deceased), edith barton (mother, deceased), barney barton (brother) zodiac: cancer (june 18, 1988) wiki link: i’ll mostly be going off of 616 clint (especially the fraction run!), but using some elements of mcu timeline etc (also the hawkeye show was kinda good so i don’t hate every single piece of mcu clint anymore but don’t tell anyone i said that)
(tw death, violence, brief abuse mention)
was your character “blipped” out? if so, what did they return to and how is it affecting them? if not, who important to them was blipped out, and what has it felt like after those five years have passed?
Unfortunately, no, Clint was not blipped. It was bleak. We don’t talk about The Ronin Years they spent off the grid working out their rage issues, because it was an incredibly bad, sad, mournful experience for all involved. Clint felt the loss of his friends and family deeply, and took it to heart, okay? He’s working through some stuff.
where are they living? are they living with anyone?
Clint has become the landlord of a kind of grimy apartment block in Brooklyn, and has commandeered a loft for himself. Also Lucky, his dog (the best dog, fight him). And Kate’s allowed to crash sometimes, too.
why is your character affiliated with who they’re affiliated with?
who are their major friends, allies, and foes?
major friends: natasha romanoff, kate bishop, bobbi morse (sorta? kinda? it’s complicated), jessica drew, lucky the pizza dog
major allies: the avengers, shield, yelena belova (??), apparently wolverine and also bucky barnes?
major foes: the russian bro mob, barney barton (yes, his brother)
whose hands do they believe the country should be in?
At this point, Clint could not give less of a shit. Overthrow the government, burn the whole system down, whatever. Just let them take a nap.
what’s their current mental state at? their physical state?
Physically? Oh, great. Grand. Never better. (This is 100% a joke, Clint Barton is falling apart at the seams.) He’s constantly covered in scrapes and bruises, and has yet to meet an injury a bag of frozen vegetables can’t cure. The bandaids on his face are pretty much a permanent accessory at this point. He’s in technically very good physical shape, but he doesn’t have superpowers, and, as much as he hates to admit it, he’s not getting any younger. He’s put a lot of strain on his body over the years, and it’s starting to catch up.
Clint is also partially/severely deaf due to a combination of in-action injury and childhood trauma. They wear hearing aids and mostly gets by just fine--or as fine as Clint can ever get by.
Emotionally? Also a mess! Maybe worse! Exhausted! Heartbroken! Lonely! Left behind! After a career as the spare circus Avenger and a few healthy decades without sleep, he’s never been great at healthy life choices. Natasha’s death in particular destroyed him, and he’s been grieving deeply, making worse choices than usual, trying to keep it together for Kate and Lucky. He’ll get by. He always does somehow.
