:: PERSONALITY ::
Kurt is hands down one of the nice people you could ever meet in your life. He has an incredibly pure heart, and a noble soul, and he holds those morals dearly to him, attempting to live by them as much as he possibly can. However Kurt is young, and still learning the ways of the world. He is quite fun loving, and has quite a broad sense of humour. He likes to play practical jokes on his friends and team mates, and often uses humour to attempt to diffuse tension or to “laugh in the face of danger” as they say.
Kurt is vividly aware of how different he is from the rest of the world, and it has made him quite insecure over the years. He has suffered persecution because of his looks, as well as his religious beliefs and morals. Having spent a lot of his time amongst con artists and thiefs, he has picked up a few things, but has always shunned what he would call the darker side of the human soul. He feels like he is being punished for past sins, and that is why he has the appearance, in his opinion (as well as others who have persecuted him) of a demon. However, Kurt believes that following his religious beliefs and trying to do good in the world will atone for whatever he may have done.
Kurt believes that the message that Professer X and the X-Men, he believes that Mutants and humans can, and were meant to co-exist, and he will often try to spin his religious beliefs to amplify that belief. He is a spiritual person who is good natured, and forgiving, but he is also a fighter. He will stand up for who and what he believes in, as well as putting his life on the line for those he cares about.

:: MUTATION ::
- :: TELEPORTATION/SHADOW MANIPULATION ::
Nightcrawler has an uncanny ability to manipulate an alternate dimension. This gives him the ability to seemingly teleport any distance from a few inches up to approximately two miles. He can also bring small portions of this “shadow dimension” into our very own, which allows him to hide in the shadows, and remain unseen. Using this ability does take a physical toll on Kurt, much like sprinting at full speed would to a person. Kurt’s “teleportation” has limitations, Kurt’s mind will not let him teleport into a place that he either has not seen before or cannot see (technology helps a lot for this, thanks Google Maps) for fear of porting into a wall or some such, and the distance is limited because of the physical toll it takes on him. Kurt can port at maximum distance only a few times before he would have to have a considerable time of rest. When Kurt does teleport he displaces a small amount of the shadow dimension in place of himself which is what makes the “BAMF” sound and leaves behind a slight smell of sulfer.- :: ENHANCED PHYSIOLOGY/APPEARANCE ::
Kurt has a very noticeable physical mutation, the first thing is his blue fur, secondly that he does not have normal human hands or feet, and he also has a prehensile tail. This combined mutations help Kurt’s physical atributes reach a state that is considered super-human, such as his agility, reflexes, and to an extent his strength too. Kurts tail helps an extreme amount with his agility and reflexes, helping him keep balance in some extreme circumstances. His mutated hands and feet allow him to grip even some of the slippiest surfaces and also aloww him to hang upsides down, and sideways amongst other things.

:: History ::
A lot of Kurt Wagners history is unknown to him and some of it may become clear to him as the stories progress within the board, but what is may become known about Kurt is that he is the son of Mystique, Raven Darkholme and the demon Azazel.
After giving birth to Kurt, Raven disgraced with the baby itself and of an unsound mental state she threw the baby mutant into a well, expecting it to hit the bottom and die, however Azazel who had remained of the frame of mind that he didn’t want the baby teleported in at the last minute and saved the baby Kurt before taking him to one of his loyal followers. A gypsy fortune teller woman who he made promise would raise him and never tell him who his real parents were.
Kurt spent his childhood growing up in the gypsy camp, the lady taking care of him and raising him with her Catholic morals. Kurt would often question her about his appearance, and why he seemed to look like a demon, to which she would always say that his parents had been sinners, and that God had seen it fit to punish him for their sins. Kurt took it personally, and as he began to reach his teenage years came to begin marking himself whenever he felt that he had commited a sin. What people would see as angelic markings on his skin, was actually self markings that Kurt had done to himself as a form of penance, believing that along with the Catholic dogma that if he was truly sorry for his sins that he would be forgiven, and maybe one day he would have a normal appearance.
Kurt began to earn his way within the travelling circus group as a trapeze act, the unsuspecting public believing that Kurt’s look was down to make up and costumes, something that Kurt never bothered to correct them, because it was easier for them to accept what was barely plausible than accept the truth. It was something that Kurt came to deal with over the years when people would stop their children from gawping or from wanting to be his friend if they ever found out about his differences.
One summer Kurt met a young girl from the local village that they were visiting, and the two began to form a bond of friendship. Kurt felt that she was different, and she didn’t make fun of Kurt or question him about his appearance. The two of them spent almost every day together, and their friendship began to take a step towards a more romantic turn, but it was too good to be true, much as Kurt feared. The girls father caught them in the act, and in a rage he attacked Kurt, furious that a “demon” had attempted to defile his daughter. Kurt fought back, and it was this that forced his mutant ability to manifest. Kurt teleported, and in doing so he accidentally took the life of the man attacking him. Kurt, distraught, and ashamed fled the small village in Romania, using his new found ability to run before bumping into a team of X-Men who were just happening to be investigating the rumours of a blue skinned mutant in the area. Kurt, completely shattered and distraught fell into the waiting arms of Cyclops, who offered Kurt sanctuary at the Professor Xavier school. Kurt grabbed that chance with both hands, and now resides at the school, determined to make amends for his mistakes, for his sins, and help the X-Men forge a brighter future when he is ready.

Logan had been just as surprised as Jimmy when the blood test results
revealed that he was the boys father. He could understand the anger, and
the frustration that the young feral had felt, and part of him felt it
himself. He had been working with the kid to harness and control his
powers, yet the thought of him being his son had never crossed his mind.
Even though the scent felt….off….he had it in his mind that he was Victor’s
son, and everybody seemed to think the same thing, but it wasn’t true.
Jimmy Hudson was the son of Wolverine.
Logan stood on the edge of the woods, sniffing at the air, he was dressed
in casual clothes, a pair of jeans, some simple boots and a wolf skin
jacket over a flannel shirt. He had his hands stuffed in his pocket as he
tried to catch the scent of the young feral. Jimmy had took off, and Logan
couldn’t blame him, he wanted to do the same, but now……now he felt a sense
of responsibility. He had the X-Men, he had his Pack, was needed for once.
Logan felt an attachment to the Institute and to the students that had
begun to look up to him and treat him with the reverence and respect due to
a member of the X-Men. Logan wanted to help them, he’d seen what mutant
powers out of control could do, and he’d also seen how those powers could
corrupt.
Logan had fought in so many battles, so many wars in his life….but he knew
it would pale in comparison to what might be on the horizon. He needed to
help these kids get ready, and he needed to help Jimmy, not just because he
was his son, but he was a young kid, angry, scared, and p**ed off at the
world. Logan knew what that could do to a person, and he hoped that it
wouldn’t have the same effect on Jimmy, he hoped with all his strength that
the kid could forgive him, and if not…..
Logan would step aside.
He sniffed at the air once more, and caught a scent that was almost masked,
yet slightly familiar, Logan turned to face the source of the scent, fists
balled ready for action.
