The staff is going to make a serious effort to update the infobox more often, so keep an eye out. Newer updates will always be closer to the top, but probably below this one.

New Stuff Around the Site
Aaaaand it's time for our revival, for the billionth time. Oh, how we are a stubborn board that refuses to die. The Cbox is looking prettier than ever with rules next to them now, and there will be more new stuff to come. Also, because of this, the Cbox rules will no longer be part of the General rules.

Canon Characters
There are plenty of canon characters still up for grabs, so head on over to the character list to see which ones are available. If you find a character that you're interested in playing, leave a post in the Character Request thread to get started. We're looking for new members, and everyone here is super friendly, so take a look around (guests can view almost all the forums here) and leave a comment in the Guestbook if you have any questions or want to introduce yourself.

Welcome to Speed demon's X-men Evo RPG.


This is a written RPG based off of X-men: Evolution. We're always looking for new characters, so check out the character list (under the Characters section) or PM the admin if you have questions. If you are interested in playing OC characters, please visit SD's OC X-men Board (accessed through the button in the top left corner of the site).

You're currently viewing our forum as a guest. This means you are limited to certain areas of the board and there are some features you can't use. If you'd like to join the RPG, you will be able to roleplay as you own characters.

Unregistered

Pictures:Art of Steven E. Gordon

Real Name: Kurt Wagner

Code Name: Nightcrawler

Age: 17

Origins: Germany

Height: 5'9" on the rare occasions when he stands up straight.

Weight: 153 lbs

Hair: Straight, shoulder length blue-black hair both with and without his image inducer. Without the inducer his full-body coat of short, dense, velvety indigo fur is visible.

Eyes: Without inducer they're solid yellow with no visible pupils and slight bio-luminescence that is really noticeable only in the dark. With inducer they're dark blue.

Mutant Powers: Kurt's mutant powers are many and varied. He has the ability to teleport himself, his clothing and an undetermined amount of mass instantaneously from one location to another. When teleporting only himself he is capable of traveling distances of up to two miles and might be able to teleport further someday. His teleportation leaves a cloud of dark purplish smoke and the scent of brimstone and is accompanied by a 'bamf' sound.

Closely linked to his power of teleportation is his spatial awareness. He is constantly aware of his surroundings and how they relate to him. He does not need to actually see an object or person which is in reasonably close proximity to him to know exactly where they are located and, in fact, can use this ability to navigate in absolute darkness. This is invaluable in ensuring that he never teleports into a space which is already occupied by something or someone else. He is also always aware of his orientation with regards to the earth's magnetic fields and at least partially uses them to help guide his teleportation.

Kurt's next, most obvious mutant power is his ability to cling to virtually any surface with his hands and feet. This enables him to literally run up walls and across ceilings or to perch comfortably in either of these places. Also, his indigo fur combined with some aspect of his mutation which neither he nor his mentors really 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. He also has extraordinary night vision and his sense of hearing is almost as advanced. He's not a match for Wolverine or Rahne, or any other 'feral' mutant, in either of these areas, but he's certainly far above base-line. His sense of smell is also somewhat beyond 'normal' though not extraordinarily so.
His tail is prehensile and acts almost as a third hand, its flexible spaded tip being capable of picking up and manipulating objects almost as dexterously as his large hands.

Skills: Kurt is an excellent acrobat, both by natural inclination and by training, and is adept in a large number of different circus arts, chief among them any kind of tumbling, trapeze and highwire work. He has some skill with a sword, mostly of the variety that looks impressive but isn't much use in a fight (unless you're only counting points), which he learned from the troops sword-swallower and knife thrower. He's been working with the Wolverine to turn this into more of a practical skill. He has excellent aim with thrown projectiles - such as darts and knives - and is a good juggler. He also has the standard hand-to-hand and martial arts skills that Wolverine has been drilling into all of them for the last two years, at probably a somewhat more advanced level than many of the others due to his agility and background as an acrobat.

Kurt is also multi-lingual, having combined a natural facility for languages with the polyglot world of the circus. In addition to his native German, he is fluent in English, Rom, French and Italian, speaks passable Spanish 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.

History: Kurt's unusual look is a result of a genetic experiment done by Magneto when he was still a child. When his mother Mystique learned of what was going on, she tried to run away, but ended up dropping Kurt in a river, where his adopted parents found him. Although he possesed the mutant gene since he was born, Magneto's experiments enhanced his native abilities. He spent the rest of his childhood with his adopted parents.
Power Discovery: Who knows? Kurt had total control on his powers when he arrived at the Institute, so I'm guessing he had been using them for quite some time.

Personality: Kurt projects the image of an extremely upbeat person - and, for the most part, he is. He tries to find the bright spot in every situation and the good in every person - at least as much as possible - and is unfailing loyal to those he considers family or friends. He is, however, reluctantly coming to the conclusion that it might be wasted effort in the case of his biological mother.

He's an inveterate practical joker and clown - at least in part as a learned strategy for diffusing tension and distracting attention from his appearance. It's also a great way of covering for the times when he isn't feeling upbeat and positive. After all, who'd ever expect Kurt Wagner, practical joker and class clown extraordinaire of being a nervous wreck? Of course, part of it's just that he's a hyperactive little bastard who loves to be the center of attention and make people laugh.

He's not too good at sitting still and just watching whatever's on the tube. Movies are special, TV's just...TV. He'd much rather be doing something active either outdoors or in the Danger Room - because, really, did someone make that place just for his own personal amusement?

He secretly lives in fear that his holo will someday fritz someplace so public that he won't be able to hide, but at the same time has begun to feel like a hypocrite for fighting for mutant acceptance while hiding his true nature behind a lie.

He is slow to anger and quick to forgive (usually), but for that brief period when his anger burns bright, you can definitely see more than a physical resemblance to his mother. Hatred isn't really in his nature, and, despite the rivalry, even enmity, between the X-Men and the Brotherhood, he has never really hated any of them. Not even Avalanche, who he considers to be singularly lacking in redeeming features, or Toad, who's just...ick. He'll fight them if he has to, but he certainly won't go out of his way to start anything, or get involved in any conflict that can be avoided. Nor would he take any particular pleasure from seeing any of them hurt.

*Note: The Cbox now reads from top to bottom. CBOX RULES
- Please try not to spam. There is a 1000 character limit per message; make use of it. It's not MSN so don't leave one word messages if you can.
- Being respectful still applies in the cbox.
- Try to use the same name when you post a message, or at least one that members will be able to recognize you by.
- The cbox is OOC (out of character) so you don't have to still be in character.
- No advertising in the cbox. We have a section for that, so post advertisements where they belong.
