This is first and foremost a school. The Basics
Name: Kurt Wagner Codename: Nightcrawler Type of Character: Canon Species: Mutant Play-by: Hayden Christensen Age: 17 Gender: male Sexual Preference: heterosexual Height: 5'6 Weight: 140
Faction: Neutral, aiming for New Mutants School Year: 11th grade Occupation: circus performer, student
Tough break Scott, doing the school play with pale gloomy and grumpy over there. The Details
Body Type: Kurt does not come as described on the box. Kurt is covered in a light fur coat in indigo blue. His eyes are yellow with slitted irises. His dark hair is one of the few mundane traits about him. He has long elfin like ears and four slightly extended fangs which can give his smile a menancing quality. His hands are oddly shaped with two fingers and a thumb that are oversized and incredibly strong. His feet are also oddly shaped with two toes only but a toe like heel. Like his hands, his feet are oversized and dextritious able grip and hold to surfaces and objects. Emerging from his tail bone is a 3ft tail with a triangular tip of leathery material. Like the rest of him, his tail is pretensile and able to hold his body weight. His body is lean and muscular, built for speed and agility. When he perspires, the scent of sulfur will linger in the air.
Wardrobe: Kurt favors dark clothing. When out and about, Kurt wears a heavy wool dark hooded robe that goes to the floor. He wears a lighter version of it, in terms of fabric when about the house. Kurt favors loose pants and loose shirt, partially because that was his style in the circus, partially because of comfort with his fur. A crucifix that supposedly belonged to his mother is always worn around the neck though Kurt is (at this point) not a serious Catholic. Kurt only wears shoes when required, as they hurt his feet.
Costume: Kurt currently has a costume from his days in the circus, a black body suit with white costumized gloves and socks. Red shoulder flares come off the body suit and the circus version has reflective paint. Matte paint will be used on his school outfit and the color turned to canary yellow.
Posture: Kurt has a non-typical body posture to match his non-typical body. He will commonly crouch on his feet, his body between his bent up knees. He is rare to sit on the couch, usually sitting/crouching on an end table or like a house cat on the back of the damn couch. Woe to the couple in the commons who suddenly finds a blue fuzzy elf munching on popcorn as he crouches on the top of the couch's back. Kurt's tail has a bit of a mind of its own and when he's idle will swish back and forth. He will also sometimes spend time just hanging upside down from his tail.
Personality: Kurt is a playful kid who just wants to hang around. It took Kurt a long time to realize that something was 'wrong' with him. That said, he doesn't see it as a 'wrongness' merely a barrier to overcome in dealing with other people. Kurt's adopted family was very loving and supportive of their fuzzy elf son and he is actually well adjusted knowing that people will accept him. Even some of the inner members of the circus knew the truth and Kurt was encouraged to publically perform as himself, enjoying that crowd thought he was a mere costumed acrobat.
As such Kurt loves to entertain, whether its in his acrobatic displays above the crowd, a joke told among friends, or teleporting where no one thinks he is. He just wishes he had a more 'quiet' teleport so he could sneak around more. Still he has a nice collection of peeping elf pictures that he's culled from his periodic schooling periods.
As with any adopted kid, Kurt longs to discover who his parents are. Especially are they like him, did they leave him behind because of his appearence? He doesn't know if he can really deal with the answers he suspects he would get. Kurt has two fears about his parents that he keeps to himself. Either his parents are normal humans who didn't want a freak baby OR that his parents are somehow connected to Satan. Kurt puts his money on the former.
Kurt holds the opinion that differences are meant to be bridged and that what makes us different from one another is only a topic of conversation and learning. And a good natured joke is welcome too. Kurt holds no issues with humans nor does he have an issue with mutants who act out. While he thinks their behavior is unneeded, he can see the basis, having been targeted out of hatred himself.
Kurt feels that his appearence can be used as a tool in developing an understanding between humans and mutants. When dealing Kurt one is forced to confront his difference, face first. That means everything can be on the table at the start. Kurt feels that if the 'oh my god, you're a mutant' issue can be dealt with at the start, it allows him the opportunity to demonstrate the fun loving sweethearted fuzzy elf that he is beyond his fearsome appearence.
Kurt is a Catholic, allowed to explore that religion by his Romany traditionalist family. Despite that, Kurt has some altered beliefs considering his upbringing. He holds very little to Christian sexual values and prohibitions, and is comfortable with homosexuality, and has engaged in sexual conduct at an early age. That said, Kurt has a high value towards human life and freedom. While he's been taught to defend himself, his loved ones, and those in need... Kurt has no appetite for violence, beyond a good roleplay.
Turn Ons: Redheads, Errol Flynn movies, anything swashbuckling, circus performances, circus girls, non-circus girls, Gothic Christian art, marketing and business management.
Turn Offs: Science classes, chicks that don't dig the fuzzy dude (they will come around), male gingers (they are just weird), people who chase him with torches... so rude, public beaches.
Worst Secret: He fears he might be evil... Character Goals: To create the best damn fuzzy elf run circus EVER! Have a bunch of fuzzy elf babies (they are in danger of going extinct!). Become a role model for young freaky mutants. **Two year Goal - Perform in MSG as part of the Szardos Circus, get into a serious relationship, graduate high school (USA) **Five year Goal - Return to and run the Szardos Circus, have an elf baby or two, publicly out himself as a mutant.
So... got any cool powers? Powers and Abilities
Genetic Mutation: - Physical Mutation: The most obvious of Kurt's mutation is his appearence. Demoniac features, indigo blue fur, and altered hands and feet plus a tail. Kurt's transformation includes a marginally flexible skeleton but this aspect is not beyond that of a standard human mutation and allows for his gymnastic agility. His tail can support his own weight and his feet has nearly the dextrity of hands. His eyes allow for exceptional sight in the darkness.
- Teleportation: By moving through an alternative dimension, Kurt can teleport through space. Kurt's teleportation does not have a temporal mechanic and he's functionally in stasis when moving through his personal 'Dark Dimension'; unaware of its nature and unaffected by its presense. Aspects of his dimension bleed over into our world when he teleports in the form of the purple smoke that accompanies his exit and entrance.
- Shadowblending: When not teleporting, a partial rupture is around Kurt. This rupture causes light around Kurt to partially bend leaving him in all but full lighting to appear shadowy and vanish completely in low-light situations. Well all but his glowing yellow eyes.
- Enhanced Spatial Awareness: Kurt has an enhanced sense of spatial awareness, aiding him in both his agility and teleportations.
Weaknesses:- Line of Sight: While Kurt's powers are not limited by distance, Kurt's powers are limited by knowledge. Kurt has to KNOW where he's teleport or he risks injury or death by teleporting into something or to a non-existant perch. As such Kurt limits his teleports to short local ports for evasion and not travel.
- Exhaustion: While Kurt CAN teleport repeatedly, it will wear him out and if he pushes too far cause him to drop exhausted to the ground.
- Hyper-Kinetic: Kurt still teleports by instinct, and is known to teleport whenever agitated or excited. This could mean that when in the midst of an argument him bolting or leaving a girl with a nose full of brimstone who just kissed him.
Mastery: Kurt can teleport on command to any destination that he can see without much reflexive delay. Kurt also can teleport to a few fixed locations beyond line of sight if he knows the area very well. His private quarters are a good example of this.
Learned Abilities: - Acrobat- Kurt is an accomplished acrobat who has been training in the skills of the big top performance since he was 7.
- Swordsman- Kurt is trained in cutlass, curved swords and is a bit of a swashbuckler. On nights where his act is not the main event, Kurt performs a sword dance.
- Pagentry- Kurt has alot of experience on show business flare and display from his time at the circus choreography and costume design were his speciality.
- Business Marketing- Kurt has alot of on the job training and has taken over the marketing and showplanning for the circus at this point.
- Languages- Kurt's first language is German but he is fluent in English both spoken and written. He has limited Russian and French vocabulary.
Resources: None
Education: Kurt's education is scatter shot, leaving some of his science and advanced math skills in the remedial range. He has never had prolonged formal education in a public or private facet. Kurt's language, history, and writing skills (even in English) are at par with his age.
So why not tell them the Truth Charles? The History Kurt Wagner was born in or somewhere near the Wagner Estate in Bavaria, Germany to Raven Darkholme. It is believed, but denied, that his father was Baron von Wagner. Kurt at this stage is unaware of his mother's true nature having been told that his mother was accused of adultery and fled. Kurt never knew this life anyway.
Shortly after birth, Kurt was possibly abandoned (he is told the story that he was found in a waterproof floating crib coming down the river) and came into the hands of Margali Szardos. Though twice a mother, the young gypsy circus woman took Kurt into her home and nursed him alongside her newborn daughter Jimanie (Amanda) Szardos. Kurt had the support of an older step-brother Stefan.
Kurt's childhood in the circus was warm, friendly, and supportive but far from carefree. Since he was five he has been working the camp. While his appearence kept him from being on the front's Kurt had alot of work making the camp, setting up the show and helping his step-sister with making the costume. Kurt's agility eventually earned him training in the aerial shows drawing the attention of Margali's brother in law and learning the ropes as it were.
Kurt's schooling was for the most part at home with Margali. As such, the self-proclaimed witch had own intentions and biases and as such Kurt's advanced math and corresponding sciences suffered. His language and literature skills though have been up and beyond his grade level, already knowing four languages.
Kurt's childhood came with a surprise that he shared with Stefan and Jimanie, his appearence wasn't the whole of his apparent difference. He could teleport in line of sight. They kept this from Margali. His other surprise was the first time he felt the scorn of his appearence. He had been in town, under his robes when he got seperated from the others. He was chased when his hood was knocked off and managed to lurk back to camp on his own.
On his sixteenth birthday, Kurt proposed an idea for a tour through France, England, and... America for the circus. A big financial undertaking so to start it off they would do a big show in October outside Berlin. With the spotlight on him Kurt performed with no net. On a simple trick, Kurt intentionally missed the bar and plummetted.
As he fell, a puff of purple smoke erupted around him and suddenly the blue elf performer was sitting on the bar swinging over the crowd. This 'magic trick' caused the sponsor necessary for the trip to roll in and Kurt had just gotten started, it was time to bring real magic back to the circus. And he would do it right outside New York City.
