Video;

[After everything that had just transpired planet-side Steve figured this was long over due.

He called up a video on his MID and started recording.]


Hi, this is Steve Rogers. Some of you might know my name, some of you might know me as Captain America, most of you probably have never heard of either of those things. Back home I was a captain in my country’s army, fought in a war.

Currently I lead a team of people called The Avengers, we’re a group of super powered people who help protect the world from larger threats that can’t be fought alone.

[He pauses there because he sounds like a brochure. Back home he had earned the respect of the people who knew him, here not many knew him yet, and he was second guessing if this had been a good idea. He keeps going though, not letting his insecurities show through, he wanted people to be able to trust him.]

My point to this. The job I've been assigned is the head of training and defense and after what just happened planet side I think that there are some people who could use a course in hand to hand combat and some people who might want to hone the skills they already have. I'm going to put together a schedule and set up training classes. There will be an initial evaluation and from that I will split the classes up into group based in ability and current skill. I urge anyone interested to come down to the rec area or contact me.

I'm also looking for anyone interested in assisting me. Most of my knowledge and skill is with hand to hand combat with the assistance of a shield, which seems to have been lost in transit, but there are situations were weapons training would be more useful. If anyone has experience with that please let me know if you would be interested in assisting other crew members in training.

We might as well be ready for any kind of threat we could face. Our best bet at survival is being prepared for anything.

Oh, and Avengers, current, future and alternate universe versions, I expect you all there. Yes that means you, Tony...my Tony. I mean the Tony from my world. And- ok both Tony Starks.[Mentally face palming Steve.]

Thank you for your time. [He nods at the screen, hoping that went ok before cutting the video feed.]

[ooc: I will be putting together a list of classes and times that you will be able to sign your character up for oocly for future reference any logs you want to do with fellow players. A link to that will be up in the ooc com soon.]

The Balkans. My country had a different name when it began, but it broke up into many small countries during a civil war. [He doesn't know if Steve's world had a Yugoslavia, he just knows that there was a World War II for him, and that's the war that aggravated hate that lasted for generations.]

It's a good idea to know how to fight, so I hope you do okay.

[Even if he's hesitant to do it himself. It's a discussion that he's not yet managed to have- any normal person would want to avoid fighting out of weariness of conflict. There is some of that, most definitely. But half of Niko's reason is that he might remember sometimes he enjoys it, and he doesn't want to think about that.]

[Especially when someone comes from wars as nasty as the Yugoslav wars.]
