[Personality]
Tony is narcissistic, determined, extremely intelligent, not one for following the rules and doesn't exactly like being told 'no'. He's sociable and used to being the centre of attention due to being the CEO of Stark Industries and it's shown that he's a womaniser and that he blows off some of his responsibilities to pursue things he'd rather due - like going gambling at a casino instead of attending an award ceremony. Or working on a car instead of getting in his private jet to go to Afghanistan to do a weapons demonstration. His assistant Pepper Potts is the one who has to get Tony to do anything by haranguing him near constantly until he finally agrees or she forces something in his face for him to sign. Tony's also shown to be an adrenaline junkie, taking his motor bike to meet his private jet while the car follows him and then going racing in Monaco without actually bothering to tell anyone. The first time he uses the Mark II Iron Man suit, he flies through the city, pushing it to its limits until it ices up and he seems to greatly enjoy the buzz of saving lives too.
There's also an arrogance that feeds into this narcissism but when he's almost killed and then held hostage, meeting a man named Yinsen, he sees exactly what his company has done and he feels personally responsible for it and wants redemption, both personally and for the company for the lives they've destroyed and this is also to help ease his own guilt as he was the one to design and sell the weapons.
A little like a certain other billionaire playboy superhero, there is a public face which still acts as expected, posing for pictures, flirting, pulling outrageous stunts. In private, Tony is really a lot more anti-social, locking himself away in the workshop to get on with inventions and such and if he gets involved in a project then he doesn't want to leave it, ignoring and/or forgetting obligations and appointments which means that Pepper has to step in. He's very demanding of those around him and none more so than Pepper who essentially runs Tony's life for him. Tony is charming though (although this doesn't work so much with Pepper) and knows how to play ball politically and if he can't talk his way out of a problem (which he can a great deal of the time) then he'll buy his way out of it instead.
But underneath all that gloss and public persona, Tony has some very big issues lurking away and festering. There are the commitment issues. And the intimacy issues. For all that he and Pepper have a heaping pile of unresolved sexual tension, he's not a relationship man at all. Tony chases skirts, has a one night stand and has Pepper get rid of them because he's never around in the morning. This is to make sure they keep their distance and don't see Tony the person. Tony even goes so far as to say that Pepper is the only one he has to depend on (although there is also Rhodey but that's in a far different capacity). He feels alone even in a crowded room because no one actually knows him as a person and it's a very isolating thing.
There's a great deal of pressure on Tony, some of it trying to live up to his father Howard Stark and to make Stark Industries be what it should be. Maintaining the public face is also the other huge source of pressure. Tony's rebellious streak is part of his way of reacting to this and dealing with it but it's fair to say that he's a functioning alcoholic who isn't addicted to alcohol but uses it as a crutch to get him through certain situations.
Iron Man 2 shows a more negative impact of everything such as how alcohol is really starting to drag him down as he uses it for escapism and he begins to really expect too much from himself in terms of redemption and heroics.
This is when life decides to really kick Tony in the teeth: the thing that allows him to redeem himself and the company and even his old man is actively killing him and that time really is running out and so, being Tony Stark, he decides that the sensible thing to do is barely sleep, party less and to shut out the world which notches up the narcissism again. This comes to a head at a world senate meeting where he is cocky, arrogant, flippant and dismissive and tells the world that he has privatised world peace before showboating out of there.
The senate meeting brings up a new issue: Tony's identifaction with the 'suit' and what it allows him to do and he's incredibly possessive of it and he fears it being taken away from him because he wouldn't know how to define himself - there's a need for Tony to be Iron Man instead of Tony Stark, genius, loaded playboy. His motivations to save lives though are still selfish - he's Iron Man because he can do that and it isn't the world that he wants to save because he knows that he can't do that but he can save actual people.
Change does come though when Tony must look to old news reels of his father - a man he had a poor relationship with - watching them obsessively until he finds the answer to saving his life (fixing the problems he's been having with the current arc reactor in his chest) and he bounces back but with a difference. It makes him acknowledge, fully, just how short life actually is and he takes steps towards a somewhat stable relationship with Pepper although it should be noted that there's some reluctance to fully describe it as a relationship meaning that commitment and intimacy issues are still very much present; after all, Pepper is the person he's closest to in the world and he still has those issues regarding her.
[Specialties/Abilities]
Tony is a billionaire genius who built his first Iron Man suit when held hostage in Afghanistan out of parts of his weapons with no real actual equipment. With shrapnel in his chest. In an underground bunker. With only one assistant. He also managed to build an arc reactor which powers the electromagnet in his chest, keeping him alive. This arc reactor powers the suit of armour he built; the Iron Man suit.
In the Iron Man suit, Tony is extremely strong, able to fly, able to shoot pulses of arc reactor energy hands and he has a small armoury on board. Tony is near enough invulnerable in the Iron Man suit.
Oh and the suit has his computer butler thing JARVIS in it who talks away to Tony about the suit conditions and so on. He is British. Like all good butlers.
[Affection]
Tony's pretty tactile so brohugs for the men, pats on the shoulder, handshakes. Ladies he will totally hug you and be polite. Just don't hand him things.
[Fighting]
I'd prefer we discuss everything considering the nature of the Iron Man suit. Also - do not damage the arc reactor.
