CHARACTER
NAME: Phil Coulson
AGE: Unknown, probably 40-ish?
FANDOM/MEDIUM: Marvel Movieverse which is a movie series thing.
CANON PULL-POINT: Post- Thor and the short films.
ABILITIES: Being a badass? Coulson doesn't have any supernatural abilities, but he's been trained in a number of hand-to-hand combat techniques and knows how to use a gun. Probably other weapons too. Also, he has a taser. And he will tase you and then watch Supernanny while you drool into the carpet.
CHARACTER BACKGROUND: Marvel movie wiki page
CHARACTER PERSONALITY: Coulson is a really, really minor character in the Marvel movies. So minor, in fact, that when Clark Gregg signed on for the role in Iron Man he thought it was just going to be a one movie deal. But, surprise! Coulson now has important parts in all the Marvel movies, his own short films and he’s a huge fan favorite. Anyways, what all this means is that his personality is a little… sketchy. There’s a lot of gaps left to be filled in.
What we do know is this: he’s an Agent with S.H.I.E.L.D. and he’s a damn good agent. Nothing much phases him. He keeps calm in any situation because it’s his job to keep calm. He’s incredibly level-headed and doesn’t ever raise his voice, even when he’s threatening someone, interrogating them or just kicking ass. Coulson is also a very polite person which is probably due in part to his job. When he’s got guns pointed at him in the midst of a convenience store robbery, he’s incredibly polite to the punks who are doing it.
Coulson’s also got a really incredibly dry and subtle sense of humor. From remarks made to Tony about tazing him and watching Supernanny to talking with his fellow agents in a diner, it's pretty clear he's got an awesome sense of humor. He is a master of deadpan and saying ridiculous things with a straight face. Which really ties into the whole unphased thing quite nicely.
And now for the stuff that I’ve filled in due to the other bits of personality we see in the movies… (Watch the Avengers movie contradict some of this when it comes out.)
He’s a naturally quiet person, which is good for a job like his. He genuinely enjoys standing in the corner and watching the Type As go at it. There’s also a small part of him that takes maybe a little too much enjoyment in being the mysterious Agent in a Suit with Sunglasses that doesn’t say much and seems very straight-laced. And he is pretty straight-laced for the most part. There’s policies and procedures in place for a reason and while red tape is a pain in the ass to get through, taking shortcuts makes for a half-assed job.
He’s very slow to anger and when he does get angry he hardly ever blows up. Instead, he’s the type to get silent in a completely different way than he normally is. General politeness and mystery would turn into stone cold silence and lots of dangerous glares. This is mostly because he’s an internal processor - he deals with things and does everything in his head. Anger, gried, happiness, worry… Everything is expressed in his head and he shows it very subtly on the outside.
Coulson’s one of those guys that you have to look for the small things to figure out what he’s thinking. And he likes it that way.
WORLD: His world is really just like the real world. Except it has Tony Stark, some punk who built an Iron Man suit in the desert out of a box of scraps. And made a new element in his basement. There's also those weird aliens the Vikings mistook for gods. And the bizarre WWII weaponry that vaporized people. Oh, and the flying aircraft carrier-slash-base called a Helicarrier.
But other than that, it's totally like the real world.
OCCUPATION: Gunsmith.
SAMPLES
THIRD PERSON:
Coulson sighed as he looked down at the donut packages in his hands. He could never decide between the powdered ones and the chocolate frosted. Even when he got both of them, he could never figure out which one he wanted to eat first. They were both so delicious, picking between them was the hardest thing he had to do on these long car trips.
He should probably start getting one kind at one stop and the other at the next. Yes, that was a good idea. It would be his own personal policy. If he had a pattern and way things went, there wouldn't be any temptation to deviate from said pattern and he would never have to choose between them again. It was the perfect solution. Except for the part where that would still mean picking one for the last time and walking out the door with it. Well... When in doubt, use eenie meenie miney moe. He carefully recited the old rhyme in his head as he looked from one package to another. Chocolate.
A small smile crossed his face as he placed the powdered sugar donuts back in the rack and strode confidently towards the cashier. Finally, an end to his troubles. Why hadn't he thought of this before?
An hour and a half later, when his stomach started growling, he remembered why. One package of donuts was never quite enough.
FIRST PERSON:
[ the video feed turns on to a face with a small smile on it. except that smile is just this side of friendly and in fact looks a little dangerous. ]
Hello. My name is Agent Coulson, I'm with the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. This is quite the set-up here, though the communication device is a little anachronistic.
[ he pauses, looks to the side at something behind the camera and then continues. ]
I have a very important job I need to be doing back in New York and would appreciate anyone who could point me in the direction of whoever it was that brought me here. Thank you.
[ the smile gets just a little bigger for a moment before the feed turns off. if this is one of stark's crazy things, coulson is going to smack a bitch B( ]
