| Bio: | General Information Name: Kurt Josef Wagner Nicknames: Fuzzy, Elf, Blueboy, Squirrel, whatever epithet springs to mind when he's just pranked someone Codename: Nightcrawler Age: 21 (11/11) Gender: male Powers Description of Powers: Instantaneous teleportation up to four times per second within a three mile radius; wall crawling; optimum human strength and enhanced speed, agility and balance; disappearance in shadows; full feral suite with enhanced senses of vision, taste, hearing and smell; limited spatial awareness of things in his immediate vicinity; prehensile tail that acts effectively as a third hand. Appearance Height: 5'10" Eyes: luminous yellow with no visible iris or pupil Hair: blue-black, thick, curly, and tends to be somewhat unruly. Relatively short in back, he has longish bangs that don’t quite fall across his eyes. Face & Complexion: He's never had a zit! See, there are bonuses to being covered in fur! Speaking of which...covered in incredibly short, dense indigo fur with a texture roughly equivalent to high end silk-velvet with similarly colored skin underneath. His face is somewhat angular and his features are fine, almost delicate, and best described as elfin. Build: Lean and wiry, with an acrobat’s athletic build - he’s extremely muscular and well-defined but doesn’t really put on bulk. Dress Style: Casual pretty much covers it - cargoes and well worn jeans along with tank tops or novelty t-shirts. Also, the spade of his tail is pierced (and god damn what was he thinking when he did that? Because it hurt like hell) as well as both ears, his left eyebrow, and his tongue. He wears anywhere from one to five gold or silver hoops or CBRs in each ear and one in his tail depending on his mood - and occasionally a small, somewhat irregularly shaped steel hoop that was a 'peace offering' from Lorna when she finally started to get over his mutation. Health Eyesight: Superhuman, with night vision especially enhanced Hearing: Superhuman Physical Health: Excellent, though he's a wee bit malnourished at the moment General Dexterity: Superhuman Handicaps: Scaring the everloving crap out of most people at first sight? An almost pathological fear of fire beyond the size of a good sized candle as well as a moderate degree of claustrophobia. An occasional and incredibly irritating need to hide his true appearance behind an image inducer when he goes out in public. Over-developed sense of personal responsibility and Catholic guilt. Although it's been almost three years since his secondary mutation manifested and he's pretty much in control, thanks to a lot of time spent with Logan and Hank, there are times when he has trouble coping with or controlling his instinctive, and frequently less than socially acceptable, response to situations. Special Abilities: Kurt is an Olympic class acrobat, both by natural inclination and by training. He's an accomplished swordsman (with either hand or his tail) and has excellent aim with thrown projectiles - such as darts and knives - and is a pretty damned good juggler too. Highly skilled in both armed and unarmed combat as well as black ops thanks at least in part to Weapon X. He's also multi-lingual and, in addition to his native German, he's fluent in English, Rom, French and Italian, speaks passable Spanish, butchers Joual somewhat, and can inquire as to the location of the bathroom and the nearest bar in an assortment of other languages - not to mention question your parentage, intelligence and sexual habits in quite a few more. Driving at excessive speeds with complete disregard for traffic laws or personal safety . Licensed pilot. Basic first aid and emergency triage. Oh, and reprogramming his image inducer in a variety of ways neither imagined nor intended by it's designer or Herr Professor Xavier. Psychology IQ: Slightly above average, possibly nudging into bright, and maximizes what he has by being diligent in studying anything he's decided is actually important Mental Health: A bit hit and miss occasionally depending on circumstances, though remarkably decent all things considered. He has a fear of fire verging on the pathological though he does his best to hide it, is mildly claustrophobic, suffers chronically from assorted nightmares and can have a possibly unhealthily over-developed sense of personal responsibility and Catholic guilt. Religious Beliefs: Almost but not quite lapsed Catholic...he still wants to believe but it's pretty hard to anymore. Extrovert/Introvert: Less of an extrovert than he used to be, but still pretty out there. Personality Goals/Dreams: Once it was to be Cirque du Soleil’s star acrobat, then it was to be able to pass and fit in and live a ‘normal’ life while working for Xavier’s dream, then it was to protect other mutants from ever having to go through what he did at the hands of Weapon X, and lately it’s just been to live to see next week and keep as many other people breathing and intact as possible while he’s at it. Quirks/Habits Somewhat orally fixated, especially likes to suck on Tootsie Pops and DumDums. Speaks with a German accent that comes and goes depending on his emotional state and tends to use German terms of endearment, at least with girls and children. Tactile almost to the point of being invasive (he's an overgrown blue lap cat with those he's comfortable with). Still somewhat hyperactive, though not the poster child for ADHD that he used to be. Tends to perch on whatever's available or hang from his tail rather than sitting. Fiddles with his tail and the hoop in it when he’s nervous or uncomfortable. Likes: Movies, especially old ones, extra-specially Errol Flynn ones; hard candy; flying; being touched or petted; music, especially the Beatles); going fast (adrenaline junky); dancing; booze in general and beer in particular; reading, especially classic adventures like Ivanhoe, The Man in the Iron Mask, and The Three Musketeers; playing in the DR (because that was just made to be his personal playground, right?); the smell of incense and beeswax; the feel of his rosary beads sliding through his fingers. Dislikes: Fire, his image inducer (unless he's using it as a toy), intolerance and prejudice, zombies, ramen, people who take themselves too seriously (except Scott, he makes an exception for Mr. Military, cuz he's special), isolation, confinement, boredom, inactivity, fire, needles, spandex (oh dear god fur and spandex do not mix), chlorine, being stared at, America's drinking age, nightmares, getting stitches, computer keyboards and telephone keypads, chewing gum, being petted the wrong way, the medbay, shedding, blow dryers, rocking chairs, scaring people. First Impression: What the fuck is that??? Or, if you're less inclined to terror and more to make conversation he comes off as friendly, personable, somewhat mischievous and very flirtatious. Background Occupation: X-Man, black team field leader, college student Education: A thorough schooling in the acrobatic arts. Nothing formally academic before high school though would now be a sophomore in college (internet correspondence) majoring in modern languages if there was any college to go to. Home: The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, or the refugee camp it's become. Finance: Pretty much irrelevant at this point, but before the zombiepocalypse he’d managed to save a fair amount and buy himself a pretty nice crotch rocket. Parents: Raven Darkholme – biological mother, Erik Lensherr – biological father, Christophe Wagner - adopted father, Adele Wagner - adopted mother, Margali Szardos - surrogate/pseudo mother Siblings: Jimaine Szardos – surrogate sister, Stefan Szardos – surrogate brother (deceased), Rogue – pseudo sister? Personal History: Kurt was fished out of a river as an infant by a young German couple who, fortunately for him, saw him as a child and not a pet. Equally fortunately, they were circus folk who raised him in the relative safety and camaraderie of a small traveling circus, where he eventually became the star despite some suspicion and latent hostility from some members of the troupe. His best friends and surrogate siblings were the children of Margali Szardos, the troupe's manager as well as the fortune teller on the midway. Over the years he had a few accidental run ins with various locals, none of which ended particularly well. The worst happened when he was thirteen, when Stefan died in a climbing accident in the Alps under particularly awkward circumstances which resulted in a mob and the obligatory attempt to burn the demon at the stake. Fortunately his teleportation manifested just in time for him to escape. At fifteen he moved to the United States to attend the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters where he made friends, went to school for the first time, fought evil and just kinda misguidedly bad mutants on the side and along the way found out his biological parents were mutant terrorists bent on world domination. At seventeen he and his sorta not quite but kind of almost in a way sister Rogue became a couple, which led to a bit of uncomfortable fallout from some of the friends and team-mates, but he didn't really give a damn. Besides, it was pretty much over-shadowed by Mystique using him to dupe Rogue into absorbing Carol Danvers, putting both of them into a coma that he spent a week afraid she'd never wake up from. Hardly two weeks after she did he was captured, along with some of the other mansion residents, by a reconstituted Weapon X program and that pretty much blew all other concerns out of the water. He spent almost seven months as the program’s ‘guest’, being tortured and trained and molded into a living weapon. During this time he formed a, um...close bond with his cell-mate, Jean-Paul Beaubier. He and the others were finally rescued due to a glitch in the Weapon X containment and he returned to his place with the X-Men, dealing with both the aftermath of his time in captivity and the rather…intimate…relationship he’d had with Jean-Paul during that time. He and Rogue worked things out afterwards, though, and they’ve remained together since, though their relationship has definitely been volatile at times. He’s almost 21 now and the last six months have been a waking nightmare of dodging and pithing the shambling hordes of the restless undead - basically fighting off the rotting victims of some unexplained virus that swept over the world in less than a week, leaving a huge portion of the population as animate corpses with an insatiable desire for human flesh. Just ‘this’ week, though, Doctor McCoy finally came up with a viable cure for the virus which they were scheduled to begin mass delivery of in two days, unfortunately he's been snatched to the Mojo!verse. Hopefully his absence won't affect the plan too adversely. Social Friends: Most of the residents of the mansion…or those left, anyway, but especially Rogue, Kitty, Jean, Ororo, Warren, and Piotr. Scott, Logan and Jean-Paul as well, before they died. (his world) Current: TJ, evo!Kurt, assorted Kittys, Caro, 616!Meg, Dani, Wanda, sort of zombies!Rogue Enemies/Rivals: The Brotherhood including, sadly, both his biological parents. Oh, and Remy sort of, given the man's conviction that winning Rogue is just a matter of time. Of course, that was all back when there were enemies that mattered other than the undead. Current: wx!Kurt...sort of Hobbies/Activities: From before…fencing; movies; playing in the DR; acrobatics, especially trapeze work; dragging Rogue out dancing or to the movies, frequently with Kaetzchen’s help; dragging Rogue to his room for private movies; practical jokes and pranks. Current: Working out with Jimaine, sword work with Kate or evo!Kurt, playing with evo!Kurt Romantic Marital Status: Sexual Preference: Bi-sexual with a very definite preference for guys. Past Relationships: Assorted trysts that didn’t really rate being dignified with the word ‘relationship’, Amanda Sefton, Jean-Paul Beaubier Present Relationships: Planned Relationships: Jimaine Interesting Facts: Kurt has a digitigrade stance that requires him to walk on the balls of his feet with his heels a good six inches or more above the floor which, combined with using his tail as a counterbalance, gives him a slightly stooped posture. Player: Diane Played By: comic, concept and cartoon art because, y’know…fuzzy and blue and glowy eyed and stuff. Okay, or maybe by Matt Dallas Canon: Other - Zombieverse | |||||||||
