Current Character: N/A
IC INFO;
Character Name:
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Canon Information: Wiki Link
Canon Point: Post Avengers-Endgame.
Age: 53-ish.
God Houses: My primary choice for Tony is Odin, due to Tony's (1) intelligence; (2) remaking of Stark Industries from a war empire to something to benefit all of humanity; (3) spreading of information and technology; and (4) the need to learn, to grow, and become better. My backup choice for Tony is Heimdall, as Tony (though he is a general screw-up and can make selfish decisions) constantly seeks to protect people, defend the universe, and will choose the greater good over himself every single time . . . or, at least, when it counts the most.
Personality: When most people first meet Tony Stark, they tend not to like him. Mostly because Tony is arrogant, catty, snide, blustering, and acts as if he doesn't take much seriously. He is quick with an insult and quick to dismiss opinions that he feels aren't worthwhile, especially if they come from a position of authority. There is usually one way, or the highway, for Tony Stark . . . or, at least, there was, before it went horribly wrong.
Tony, out of all of the Avengers, has experienced the most dynamic character growth. He began as a spoiled rich kid who didn't give a damn about anybody but himself, and ended as a hero. And perhaps what makes Tony Stark a hero is the fact that he never really wanted to be the hero. Sure, he threw out the cue cards and said he was Iron Man, but when he actually had to be the hero, he quickly realized that he was not built for it. He endured countless wars, fights, battles, and arguments with the people he loved and superpowered aliens who wanted to kill him, and every single time, Tony came to the determination that he needed to get out.
But it's not that easy: Tony, below the witticisms and the anger, is loyal. Tony is a member of the Avengers, a collection of individuals with superpowers (or superskills) built to defend the world -- and that's something Tony takes seriously. Through PTSD, trauma, nearly dying, nearly having his friends die, nearly having his girlfriend-then-fiance-then-wife die, and nearly causing the end of the world... at least three times, Tony would go to the end of the world for his friends . . . and has, culminating in his self-sacrifice to save the universe from Thanos' dominion.
It's a long road, though, to being a hero. Tony can be endlessly selfish, consistently picking his own safety and security in the short-term to avoid the struggle of being a hero. He can be purposefully cruel, deliberately shoving the knife directly where he knows it hurts, when he's feeling particularly vengeful. And Tony can be a coward, in the moment -- wanting desperately to return to a time before he was Iron Man. But he never totally surrenders to any of these flaws.
After all, Tony is a genius. He invented time travel, for God's sake. He has something to give to the world, even if he's the world's most insufferable screw-up. He built that suit in a cave with a box of scraps, goddammit. And Tony Stark isn't meant to hide all of that away; no, he's meant to defend the universe with everything he's got. Nobody else on the Avengers can build a freaking time machine from quasi-scratch.
At the end of the day, Tony Stark always tries to do what's right. He completely fucks it up, on occasion. He's stubborn, single-minded, and focused on the end-goal of creating a world where the Avengers are never necessary. In a perfect world, he would quit, and be able to quit. And god, he tries - even after Thanos destroys one-half of the known universe, Tony attempts to move on, live his life. He gets married, has a kid, and tries to move past the failure -- but he gets dragged back in, once he figures out there's a way to save the universe, and he is the key to doing it. Why? Because it's the right thing to do.
Even if it ends in his own death. Even if he has to give up everything in order to ensure the universe is safe. Even if he has to give up everything he has ever wanted, dreamed of, worked for. Tony will do it. He may bitch and moan along the way, but he will do it.
Why? Because it's the right thing to do.
After all, Tony has a heart. He can't ever just stop when the universe is at stake.

IC INFORMATION
Character Name: Tony Stark
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Canon Point: Post-Endgame
Background: Wiki
Suitability: Tony is a genius who loves to solve problems. That's not necessarily an indicator that he's good at solving the big problems, but he has a hard time turning a blind eye to things that he knows he could be useful at solving. He would love diving into research about the Singularity and the old gods, and honestly would love to contribute modernizing the heck out of the place with his crazy engineering skills.
Past his general base talents, Tony has difficulty fully walking away from people who need help. He has little patience for people who think they can rule over others, or make swathing decisions about the fate of others without other involvement. He's tried, time and time again, to get other people, the people who are supposed to be in charge, to protect Earth. When they fail, though, Tony steps up to do the right thing with little hesitation. I think he'd be very well suited to identifying who are the people to "trust" in Abraxas, and trying to steer the game to a place where everyone (including the people back home) are safe and sound.
Powers: Tony is a normal old human who is a genius that loves to build crazy powerful suits. He has no supernatural powers.
PERSONALITY QUESTIONS
Describe an important event in your character's life and how it impacted them. The single most important thing that happened in Tony's life was being kidnapped and seeing the ramifications of his father's legacy. Witnessing his own weapons and technology being used to murder innocent people changed the trajectory of his life forever. Most people would shrivel up and quit, at your axis of morality being flipped -- or, worse, be tempted to just continue selling swords to profit off of innocent deaths. Tony did neither, and instead chose to fight to make the world a better place by completely rehabbing Stark Industries and becoming Iron Man.
It's also important to note that while Tony has had moments of regretting picking up the suit, he always goes back to being able to do the right thing. He feels responsible for rehabbing the Stark family name and for undoing the sins of his father's war machine. He feels responsible for being able to do something to protect the universe. He finds it hard to totally walk away, even when given the opportunity to do so. At the end of it, Tony just wants to do what is right -- which is the entire reason why he became Iron Man in the first place.
Does your character have a moral code, or other set of standards they try to live by? At the end of the day, Tony Stark always tries to do what's right. He completely fucks it up, on occasion. He's stubborn, single-minded, and focused on the end-goal of creating a world where the Avengers are never necessary. In a perfect world, he would quit, and be able to quit. And god, he tries - even after Thanos destroys one-half of the known universe, Tony attempts to move on, live his life. He gets married, has a kid, and tries to move past the failure -- but he gets dragged back in, once he figures out there's a way to save the universe, and he is the key to doing it. Why? Because it's the right thing to do.
What quality or qualities do they admire most? Tony deeply admires determination and adaptability. It's one of the reasons why he becomes so attached to Peter Parker - he recognizes that Peter has the capacity and ability to be something great. But it's not just that -- Peter took matters into his own hands when he was granted a gift to protect people. And, no matter how many times they argue and fight, Tony deeply admires Steve Roger's steeled determination to always do the right thing, even when Tony disagrees with him vehemently. You can't get anywhere without being determined to pave the path first.
Do they have a part of themselves they dislike? Tony can be endlessly selfish, consistently picking his own safety and security in the short-term to avoid the struggle of being a hero. He can be purposefully cruel, deliberately shoving the knife directly where he knows it hurts, when he's feeling particularly vengeful. And Tony can be a coward, in the moment -- wanting desperately to return to a time before he was Iron Man. While he never totally surrenders to any of these flaws, Tony can recognize that they're pieces of himself he grossly dislikes.
What is their sign, and why? Magician. Tony is a brilliant engineer who has invented a plethora of things, including his suit and time travel. When he's determined to figure something out, he has a single-minded focus on said thing. Nothing can distract him from his goal when he's decided he wants to solve a problem. It's almost like a type of mania, when Tony has latched his fingers onto something -- he continues pushing, and pushing, and pushing (sometimes to his own detriment) in order to figure it out, to fix it, to create it, whatever it is. Magician is the best sign suited to him for this reason.

TONY STARK
MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
— BASICS —
— FIRST IMPRESSIONS —
APPEARANCE Tony is a physically-fit middle age man with dark hair and eyes. He speaks quickly, talks with his hands, and has a few noticeably anxious tics. He moves with purpose, but his mind definitely moves faster than his body or mouth.
CLOTHING Tony is often seen wearing rather expensive suits or rather expensive loungewear. There is no real in between. As MCU continues, Tony moves away from the stereotypical "rich playboy" appearance and is more focused on comfort. There's a lot of work to be done and working on tech isn't exactly easy in a suit.
DEMEANOR Anxious, talkative. Tony is very confident and speaks as if he knows exactly what he is talking about, because he genuinely believes that he does. He's eager to learn and devour new pieces of information, but can seem dismissive if he finds you boring. He will change the subject abruptly mid-sentence if his mind latches onto something more interesting.
AURAL Enjoy seventeen minutes of Tony Stark talking about himself.
