4. What is their size and build? How does it influence how they use their body, if it does?
Brock is stocky. He’s not trim like Steve, or quite as bulky as Thor or Bucky. Instead he’s just sturdy. He’s not particularly tall, either, comparatively. He’s average in that area, maybe a little above (5′10/177.8) He’s about 172 lb/72kg, which makes him a bit of a brawler, but with the serum, he can also move far faster than he should be able to.
14. What do they care deeply about? What kind of loyalties, commitments, moral codes, life philosophies, passions, callings, or spirituality and faith do they have? How do these tend to be expressed?
His loyalties have never been to institutions so much as the people that make them up. He cares deeply about the people who have proven they’re worth protecting - yes, sure, the innocents out there have that from him anyway, but he especially cares about those who’ve shown they’ve got his back. He tends to respect loyalty the highest, & sticks to his own moral code that way.
24. How do they present themselves socially? What distinguishes their “persona” from their “true self”, and what causes that difference?
He postures a lot for work -- the tough guy persona is something he lives & breathes but when he’s home he’s a much sweeter person. It shows in little ways but mostly in his gentleness, or attentiveness, towards his partners or his animals.
34. How do they understand the world–what kind of worldview and thought processes do they have? Why?
He has a rather cynical view of the world because of his history - everything shit, & very little matters. There’s some smattering of good, but it’s outweighed by bureaucratic processes that stifle & smother true progress & innovation. People are greedy & self serving (himself included), & will almost always act in their own self interest.
He can, however, acknowledge that that’s not true of everyone. That’s why he does what he does -- so that maybe some of what makes up the people around him might rub off on him, & make him a slightly better person.
40. What do they wonder about? What sparks their curiosity and imagination, and why? How is this expressed, if it is?
Before getting his own infusion of the serum, he wondered what it must be like to be Steve goddamn Rogers. Now he wonders less. Weapon designs & technological advances are his favorite things ever, & he’ll gladly sit for hours watching documentaries & attending lectures or the like. The Stark Expo is another thing he loves to catch up on, too.
41. What associations do they bring to mind? Words or phrases, images, metaphors or motifs? Why?
You can find those here, under aesthetics.
