Player Info Name: Diane Email Address: taekwondodo47@yahoo.com IM/MSN Username: surly canuck Basic Info Real Name: Kurt Josef Wagner Nicknames: Elf, Blue, Fuzzy. Code Name: Nightcrawler…except it’s not so much a codename, just his stage name. Affiliation: N/A Occupation: high school student, former circus performer Education: high school sophomore (should be junior but he’s lucky he can even hack that level of work and that’s only because Doug and War help him. Lots) Canon: other Physical Age/Birthdate: 19, November 11 Height: 5’8” Weight: 151 Hair: blue black, thick and curly Eyes: solid gold, blue induced Appearance: He has a full body coat of indigo fur, hair of a slightly darker shade of blue, glowing yellow eyes with no visible pupils, three fingered hands, two-toed, pointed ears, a prehensile tail, and extremely sharp fangs. His face is somewhat angular and his features are fine, almost delicate, and best described as elfin despite his superficial resemblance to a demon. Kurt is slender but not slight, with an acrobat’s lithe build. He’s extremely muscular and well-defined, but not bulky and has almost no body fat and moves with an unconscious, inherent grace that’s more cat-like than human. His fur is extremely dense but fine and very with a texture similar to high quality silk velvet. The natural bio-luminescence of his eyes is barely noticeable in broad daylight or a brightly lit room, but in even relatively dim conditions they glow brightly and can be disconcerting to look into. The lack of visible irises or pupils also makes it impossible to tell where he’s looking (an effect he’s not at all above taking advantage of) and can make some people very uncomfortable about meeting his eyes. His hair is thick, curly, and tends to be somewhat unruly. His fangs are long enough to be very noticeable when he smiles – and he smiles often and easily. Kurt’s tail is not quite four feet long, prehensile and capable of supporting his own body weight and then some if necessary. The spaded tip is flexible, strong and can effectively function very much like a third hand - he can pick up things as small as a pencil or a piece of chalk with it as well as lift almost any weight that he could lift with his arms. While the entire appendage is highly sensitive, the base and spade are particularly so. He has absolutely no sense of fashion and if left to his own devices will tend towards loose, comfortable, and garishly bright clothes. Warren’s taken it upon himself to…correct…this deficiency and his wardrobe, while still comfortable, has taken a turn for the – relatively – fashionable. He has one piercing in his left ear, in which he wears a small, hand-hammered gold hoop. Played By: Chase Crawford Powers, Abilities and Stats Mutant Powers: Kurt is a teleporter. His maximum range is approximately two miles in either direction though he could go farther if he were panicked enough…but the aftermath wouldn’t be pretty. He can teleport himself and up to around two hundred and fifty additional pounds and can can teleport 4-5 times a second for brief periods. Though he’s unaware of his, he is capable of using his teleportation as a weapon to disable an. Likewise he’s unaware of the fact that he’s also capable of teleporting just a portion of whatever – or whoever – he’s holding onto as well as teleporting one object inside of another, with generally explosive results. He has a spatial awareness that allows him to ‘see’ everything within his immediate vicinity; this allows him to both teleport blind within a limited area and to navigate in absolute darkness. He uses the earth’s magnetic field to help guide his teleportation, which gives him a pretty reliable sense of direction. Kurt can cling to virtually any surface with his hands and feet and is as comfortable walking, running or even ‘sitting’ on the wall or ceiling as he is on the ground. His strength, while it doesn’t stray into the realm of the truly superhuman, is well beyond that of all but the most incredibly fit baseline human given the muscular tension and stamina required to do something as simple as stand or ‘sit’ on a wall, which he can do for extended periods with no real effort, and his dexterity, balance, agility and general coordination definitely nudge well into the realm of the superhuman. He is superhumanly flexible and can run quadrupedally as well as bipedally, both at much greater speeds than a normal human. His indigo fur combined with some aspect of his mutation which he can’t even begin to understand renders Kurt effectively invisible in deep shadow or darkness - even his clothing will disappear with him and not even the Wolverine can find him by sight if he takes shelter in the shadows. Teleportation is, in and of itself, physically exhausting even when he doesn’t overdo it, and he requires an almost ridiculous amount of calories to support it, not to mention having a pretty insane baseline metabolism to begin with. Consequently, underfeed the boy and he’s not really good for anything. Hearing: above average Eyesight: above average, super human at night Dexterity/Agility: super human Physical Strength: peak human General Health excellent IQ bright Mental Health stable Skills: Kurt is an Olympic class acrobat, both by natural inclination and by training. He's a half decent swordsman and has excellent aim with thrown projectiles - such as darts and knives - and is a pretty damned good juggler too. 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. Oh, and he should totally have a degree in driving at excessive speeds with complete disregard for traffic laws or personal safety. Equipment: black market image inducer, backpack full of school supplies, wallet with student id, one credit card and a bit of cash, iPhone (because Doug insisted and OMG REPROGRAMMED IT so the on-screen display is actually big enough for his freakishly large fingers). Background Family: Raven Darkholme – biological mother (unknown to him), Margali Szardos – foster mother, Jimaine Szardos – foster sister, Stefan Szardos – foster brother (deceased) Religion: Roman Catholic, though somewhat lackadaisical about it History: Abandoned at birth, he was raised by his foster mother, Margali Szardos, 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 were his foster siblings, Jimaine and Stefan. Over the years he had a few accidental run-ins with various locals, none of which ended particularly well. His teleportation manifested when he was 13 but he kept it under wraps, only letting Stefan and Jimaine know about it. He was already a big enough freak, after all, there was no reason to add to it…not to mention that the brimstone scent that accompanied his teleportation would have just been more evidence for those who thought he was a demon, not a mutant…not that mutant isn’t bad enough. When he was 14 he had the good fortune to stumble accidentally on another mutant in the woods near where Der Jahrmarkt was performing. He’d gone out for a night-time run and some illusion of freedom and happened to run across a young Warren Worthington who’d done much the same. They talked at length on that and subsequent nights until they both had to move on from the area and became fast friends, keeping in touch after. Later that year Kurt had one of his worse run ins with the local flatscan population, which ended with a mob and the obligatory attempt to burn the demon at the stake. His teleportation allowed him to escape, but the event, along with a flurry of media interest in the tiny circus’s amazing star attraction, brought home the fact that he wasn’t likely to remain safe for much longer and neither were the people who’d shielded him. It was at this point that Warren’s continuing suggestion that he consider a career with Cirque finally became what seemed to be the best option. The troupe was cutting edge, fancied itself progressive on the mutant issue and, once War arranged for the directors to see a performance of Der Jahrmarkt, wasn’t about to pass up the chance to have possibly the most talented acrobat the world had ever seen headline their latest installation show in Vegas. Warren handled all the arrangements, including contracts and emigration and the acquisition of a black market image inducer and, with some trepidation, Kurt made the move to the United States. Things went well at first, they redesigned the show, which had already been in development, around Kurt’s skills and he found the other performers to be, by and large, accepting and curious. Moreso, in fact, than his own small, insular and heavily Rom troupe had been. He left behind epithets such as Beng and marime and felt something vaguely close to normal for the first time in his life, even making his first foray out in public under the concealment of the image inducer – and under Warren’s watchful eye. The show opened to massive critical acclaim and quickly became Vegas’s top draw, attracting international attention for its cutting edge staging and the incredible – almost unbelievable – talent of its young star. Unfortunately, not everyone associated with the show was enthusiastic about its success and Kurt’s star billing , most notably the aerialist he’d replaced. Progressive they might be, but even Cirque couldn’t – or wouldn’t – stand up to public accusations that their star was not just a mutant, but a grossly physically deformed mutant whose highly acclaimed ‘costume’ was actually his true appearance. When the press latched onto the scandal and cheering crowds were suddenly replaced by picket lines of protesters Cirque Warren stepped in to get Kurt out of the line of fire and negotiate the contract’s termination. Fortunately, due to War’s supreme paranoia, Kurt hadn’t used his real name with Cirque and it was a simple matter for Warren to use his contacts to establish a legal identity and history for him and arrange for him to enroll in his own school since he couldn’t risk going home. The last year has been something of an adventure, given Kurt had had no formal education before his sudden and unexpected move to New York and before Cirque he had never been out in public…beyond being on public display under a big top spotlight. Between them Doug and Warren manage to keep his head barely above water grade wise and for the rest he does his best to ignore the social politicking and turbulence of the school and simply focus on his friends. He misses the circus desperately, and the fact that he can’t even risk taking PE now just compounds it, but Doug and War mostly make up for what he’s lost in the two best friends he’s ever had outside his foster sibs. Personality: Kurt is good-natured, easy-going, charming and personable, but he is also playful, more than a little mischievous and a compulsive showman. Performing’s pretty much defined his entire life and he’ll do almost anything for an appreciative audience and loves to put on an act. He’s a compulsive flirt though he knows better than to expect any kind of reciprocation and in fact might fall over from shock if anyone ever did show any romantic interest in him. He's incredibly loyal and will do anything for his friends. Kurt tends to take people as they come and it’s rather hard to truly piss him off or get on his bad side though it can be done if you really make the effort. And, lord, once he does blow watch out, he’s definitely his mother’s son in some regards. He’s been accused, with good reason, of being a hopeless romantic with his head in the clouds, since despite everything he’s been through he tends to attribute the best possible motives to people in any given situation unless he has a hell of a good reason not to. He’s incredibly tactile and loves to both touch and be touched and anyone who’s gotten onto his list of ‘family’ can confirm that he's really just an overgrown blue lapcat with no real sense of personal space. He fancies himself a bit of an old-fashioned swashbuckler in a mostly tongue in cheek way and can put on a good show of the whole overdone chivalry thing when called for, complete with elaborate bows and hand kissing if he thinks he can get away with it. While he generally has little patience for television, and can be hyper bordering on ADHD on occasion, he absolutely adores movies and can sit still through marathons of movie watching with almost no trouble – so long as there’s lots of popcorn and soda (or beer…or whiskey…or vodka) and preferably someone to cuddle with. Old movies, new movies…adventure, drama, musicals, comedy, horror… You name it, he loves it. He especially has a soft spot for old black and white monster movies as well as anything involving pirates or knights. Movies are special, TV's just...TV. He'd much rather be doing something active outdoors…though he’s developed a bit of an appreciation for some of Doug’s computer games – you can SWASHBUCKLE! – though he pretty much sucks at them. He’s sort of getting the hang of it, though. Sort of. Mannerisms and quirks: Kurt is incredibly evasive with strangers, both verbally and physically, and has perfected a ‘don’t touch me’ dance designed to keep anyone from ever brushing against bare skin and discovering it’s actually fur. Conversely, though, with the very few people (in this time and place only War and Doug) he feels safe and comfortable with he is incredibly tactile and is always touching. He’ll sprawl across laps, use people as pillows, climb into bed with them and just generally be touching in some way almost all the time. He could easily pass for an overgrown blue lapcat. He speaks with a relatively heavy German accent and his English sometimes fails him. He almost never sits when he’s not in public, preferring to perch or sprawl, and will frequently just ‘sit’ on the wall or even ceiling. His tail has a mind of its own and is a very handy indicator of his mood for those who know how to read it. When he’s relaxed it tends to casually wind itself around whatever’s handy (which frequently means someone’s arm or leg or even waist). He will drop randomly into German or Rom or even French or Spanish sometimes as they’re all easier for him than English, and since Doug follows without missing a beat they’ll sometimes end up conversing in an entirely different language without really realizing that they’re leaving Warren out while he sits and patiently waits for them to realize they’re being incredibly rude. He tends to gravitate to War’s wings when they’re ‘out’, constantly and casually touching them in passing, and will almost automatically perch behind the older boy and go to work smoothing the abused feathers back into shape when he looses them from the harness. Purrs when he’s content and feels safe. Likes: candy in general and suckers in particular, ‘flying’, the circus, Warren, Doug, his image inducer, being able to go to school and be ‘normal’, spicy food, food in general, beer, vodka, Doug’s apartment, being the center of attention because he’s performing Dislikes: needing his image inducer, high school politics, having to hide from people and never being able to touch anyone out of fear, the anti-mutant bigotry that cost him his shot at Cirque, having to go to school given how bad he sucks at almost every subject, bland food, America’s stupid drinking laws, Warren’s harness, Warren’s parents, the Arschloch who outed him at Cirque, being the center of attention because someone’s discovered he’s a freak Relationships: Friends: Warren and Doug Enemies: no one in particular, though he’s really not fond of the Arschloch who outed him to the press when he was with Cirque and some of the ‘popular’ kids at school strike him as definite trouble in the making Marital status: single Past Relationships: none Present Relationships: none Planned Relationships: open Sexual Preference: Gay. He might tell himself that guys like him can't afford to be picky if the opportunity ever arises but in practice...girls do nothing for him.
