NIGHT VISION
<span style="color:#4040bf">'''Description:'''</span>
Kurt's glowing eyes grant him exceptional night vision without hampering his ability to see in the light.
<br>
 
Long bodied and athletic looking, this mutant stands a few inches shy of six feet tall, though he tends to appear shorter due to how his body puts him into the slouch of some predatory animal. There is little to allow this creature to be called human, Any visible 'skin' is covered by a thin pelt of blue-black fur, with a coif of wavy hair that is only slightly darker in color worn slicked back from his features, hanging to just above his pointed ears, and sometimes flopping to one side or the other of his face. Fine featured, almost aristocratic giving him a perpetual youthfull look that he apparently combats with a short beard, darker than the fur over his flesh like his tossel of hair, that is carefully groomed. Elongated, pointed, ears flow up along the side of his head, and his eyes are glowing yellow pools, without pupil, illuminating enough to darken the skin of his eyelids as they provide their own shade. <br><br>Dark red and black, Nightcrawler's is designed to engender the looks of film swashbucklers of old film while still allowing free movement for the acrobat. Woven with what look like rip-stop and cut-proof materials mixed with ballistic fiber, its clearly meant for protection as well as to keep him able to move as he needs. Pulled tight to him like an acrobats costume, showing off every round of muscle and sinew in his form. Slightly thicker leather and kevlar armor has been placed atop like a cowled mantle. With a thin, flexible, gorget protecting throat and neck before the cowl mantles over his upper torso, rounding over his shoulders with paneling that forms an X over his chest and extends down to protect his lower stomach, with a black circle, bearing the trademark X symbol emblazoned upon it. His forearms are protected with plated gauntlets that end in forked points just below the elbow, with his hands in pristine white gloves. From the hips down the black body suit stretches until reaching, red, plated greaves cover from knee to ankle leaving his elongated, two toed feet, in white stocking like material that allows him to flex them as normal. From the lower back of his suit springs his tail, long and seeming to move with a mind of his own, the appendage appears long enough to reach past his head if it stood still, and ends in a pointed devil's spade.
PREHENSILE TAIL
|History=
His tail is strong enough to not only support his own weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground. It is deft enough to fight with a sword or other melee weapon.
<span style="color:#009999">'''History:'''</span>
 
<br>
SPATIAL AWARENESS
Kurt Wagner was born in Germany to the shapeshifting mutant Mystique and alledgedly Baron Christian Wagner. In reality, his mother had an affair with the demon-like, nigh immortal mutant Azazel. He was to be raised as the Baron's son with all that entailed. The Baron grew suspicious, but before things could be confirmed, he died suddenly.<br><br>When Kurt was born, his mother lost control of her powers and that, coupled with Kurt's appearance, outed her and brought down a mob, complete with torches and pitchforks. In the ensuing escape, Mystique sought to save herself, and threw Kurt down a cliff and into the river. There are those that say that his mother did it blindly, and others say that Azazel knew Kurt would be thrown and caught him only to give him to his then lover, Margali Szardos.<br><br>Kurt did not perish, but survived, and he was found by a traveling circus's fortuneteller Margali Szardos. Kurt was raised with her two biological children, forming positive relationships with them as a family. At the same time, he was trained as an acrobat and began performing in the circus as a young teenager, using his natural agility to the benefit of the circus. As he aged into adulthood, and started drawing smaller and smaller crowds, the owner of the circus, Herr Getmann planned to sell Kurt. With the help of his foster mother and Armen Freilich, he escaped. Unfortunately, not before accidentally setting the place abaze by knocking over a torch. As he was chased into the forest, one of Getmann's goons was about to shoot Kurt in the face when he teleported for the first time, escaping the second angry mob of his short life.<br><br>Two days later, he found himself entering a small church under the care of, ironically, Father Wagner. He was welcomed and fed and cared for. In exchange, Kurt did manual labor for the church and was happy for a time. One evening Freilich burst into the church, being chased by Getmann's squad of bruisers. The Father attempted to settle things peacefully, but the goons instead lit the church on fire. Kurt teleported Armen to a nearby farm before he returned to deliver a sound thrashing to the Getmann himself. The Father implored Kurt to stay his hand, inadvertantly offering up the opportunity the men needed to try and kill Kurt. <br><br>It was at that time, finally, that Xavier showed up and altered the men's memories to believe Kurt dead.<br><br>A few years later, the circus was purchased and Kurt was to be placed in the freak show of the new, American owned show. He left in disgust, returning to Germany. He found his foster brother had murdered some children. He tracked Stephan down and fought with him, accidentally breaking his neck and inciting mob number three. Xavier showed again, psionically paralyzed the crowd and recruited Kurt into the X-Men, where he would receive an education at the illustrious Xavier Institute.<br><br>  Since then, Kurt has lived and worked at the Mansion, at the School, and most importantly, as an X-Men as a living, breathing embodiment of their 'live' code. He not only protects mutants from humans, but also protects humans from mutants that might seek to harm them.
Kurt has a very limited subconscious extrasensory ability that prevents him from teleporting himself so that any part of his body would materialize below the surface of the local ground. Because this ability is so limited, however, Nightcrawler will not teleport into any place that he cannot see or has not seen in the past.
|Personality=
 
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Personality:'''</span>
SUPERHUMAN AGILITY
<br>
Kurt's physiology gives him more agility than any human limits would allow.
Kurt Wagner is study in opposites. He is a man of faith, though he appears to be of demonic origin. A man of compassion, though he has been known to be good friends with thieves and murderers. He is a man who is willing to fight for the ideals of peace and to protect others, when most would condemn him to torture and even death.<br><br> He has a love of adventure and can be a bit of an adrenaline junkie. With his powers and physiology, such gallantry comes naturally and easily. A lover of the spontaneous and exciting, he's a big fan of swashbuckling fiction and fancies himself to be such a man as well. The ability to wield three swords at once doesn't hurt.<br><br>Kurt also has a 'great' sense of humor. He enjoys joking and pulling harmless pranks. Especially on his closest friends and allies. He has been known to have prank challenges at the school; sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses... but it's always in good fun. (He was also the creator of 'Mutant ball'... no holds barred, all out game of ball where all mutant powers are allowed.)<br><br>Kurt is a devout Catholic. If he is not at the mansion, he is in the Parish church. He celebrates Mass at least twice a week, and is a regular in confession. There was a time when he'd considered studying for the cloth, but he decided against it. If any jewelry can be found on him, it is a small gold crucifix that hangs about his neck.<br><br> Despite his appearance, Kurt is quite charming and plays the gallant well. He is a notorious flirt and romantic, and often knows just the right things to say to elicit a blush or a fluttering of lashes. Also, he rarely swears. If 'Verdammt'comes out of his mouth, things have gone very badly.
 
|Abilities=
SUPERHUMAN REFLEXES
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Camouflage:'''</span>
Kurt's reaction time is beyond baseline human limits.
<br>
 
He has limited abilities to blend into shadows, both as a result of his dark fur and his connection to the light-bending attributes of the Brimstone Dimension<br><br>
TELEPORTATION
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Flexible Bone Structure:'''</span>
Kurt has the ability to teleport himself, the clothes he is wearing, and within limits a certain amount of additional mass which is in contact with him. He teleports by displacing himself into the Brimstone Dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of departure. He consciously determines his point of return. It is taxing on himself and whoever he takes with him. This makes it an effective combat tactic to grab an opponent and teleport them with him a few times, wearing them out.

<br>
EDUCATION
His tail is strong enough to not only support his own weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground. It is deft enough to fight with a sword or other melee weapon.<br><br>
Despite not having a true formal education, Kurt is quite knowledgable. From religious texts and philosophy, to the humanities, Kurt has largely educated himself over the years. In his downtime, he's often found with a book in hand.

Kurt is learned in the ways of Emergency First Aid. He has the knowledge of how to stop bleeding, splint limbs and such. He is only a 'first responder' and has no real training after that.

<br>
PILOT
Kurt's physiology gives him more agility than any human limits would allow.<br><br>
Kurt is something of an accomplished pilot; he is more than capable of flying the Blackbird, at any rate. Teleportation gives him that added ability of spacial orientation.
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Superhuman Reflexes:'''</span>
 
<br>
SOCIAL GRACES
Kurt's reaction time is beyond baseline human limits.<br><br>
Kurt has had training in the social graces. He knows courtly manners, Romani manners, and has exemplary modern manners. he knows his way around a formal meal. He can dance, and he knows proper greetings.
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Teleportation:'''</span>
Kurt speaks English, German, Romani, Japanese and French fluently.

Kurt has the ability to teleport himself, the clothes he is wearing, and within limits a certain amount of additional mass which is in contact with him. He teleports by displacing himself into the Brimstone Dimension, traveling through it, and then returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of departure. He leaves behind smoke with a stench reminiscent of burning brimstone which is a small portion of the atmosphere escaping. There's also the muffled sound of air imploding to fill where he was, the telltale BAMF. He consciously determines his point of return. It is taxing on himself, but moreso to whoever he takes with him. This makes it an effective combat tactic to grab an opponent and teleport them with him a few times, wearing them out (OOC Consent required of course). The longer the distance, the more effort it takes and the more exhausting it is for him. His range is two miles although when teleporting from north-to-south he can push up to three miles. When taking someone with him, the distance is either reduced or he is exhausted more quickly.<br><br>
