Character: James "Logan" Howlett aka: Wolverine

Age: Apparent Age: 40’s / Actual Age: 177 (Birth year: 1832, current year 2009)
Bio Blurb:
Logan is a mutant in a world that hates mutants. He has a healing factor and sharp razor claws that come out of his hands. He's a short to average sized man, a bit furry looking and has a bad attitude, but he's trying. In this series he's trying to rebuild the school, reunite the X-men, save Rogue and find Professor X and save the future. There is a lot going on.

A mysterious explosion destroys the Xavier School and disrupts the X-Men. Professor X appeared dead, as did Jean. A year later Logan is on the run as Anti-mutant forces are out to force Mutants to be registered or locked up, for the safety of human kind. He starts to try and find the former X-Men to rebuild. Some are easy to find and ready rejoin the fight, while others are scattered across the world and a bit less willing.

(optional: Wiki.)

Personality Blurb:
Logan is a good man who cares about people, a much as he tries not to, or at least try to look like he doesn't. He has a lot riding on his shoulders. He's a bit of a grouch and hard ass but he has a soft heart, especially for kids and fellow mutants. As much as he might appear to not want to do the things he has to do, if it will protect others he's willing to do anything.

He's a leader, though reluctant. He believes in Charles's cause to save fellow mutants. He gets frustrated that he can't be like Charles, who could help so many mutant kids while he feels like he's not as worthy. But he tries his best.

Preferred Essence(s): The Cowardly Lion of the Wizard of Oz.
I like the idea of him having something that's completely opposite of what he is, as he's far from cowardly.

Other thought The Scarecrow of the Wizard of Oz. Mostly because of the Brains problem. I wouldn't mind messing with his head some more. Memory problems run abundant with Logan.

In another thought, The Tinman would be interesting. The lack of heart and all would also be the opposite of Logan, as he really does have a big heart.

Thoughts on any of these would be great.

Looking For: If you can't tell, I'm wanting to with with The Wizard of Oz the most. Other animal type or memory issue fables or stories would be welcome, but I'm really leaning to Oz, thanks!

Appearance: Logan is a short slightly fizzy man with hair that looks a bit like ears of a Wolverine. He's not the tallest man, but he's burly and strong. He has long sword like claws that come out of his knuckles, and can heal any burns or cuts with ease. He tends to scowl a lot too, but has been known to smile.

The Cowardly Lion: If I go this route I was thinking he might end up like Victor Creed and get a bit more shaggier like a mane or something. Let his nails grow into claws. He would hate it. He's at least have a long thing tail mot of the time, which will annoy him.

The Scarecrow: I'm thinking of taking his Healing Factor away, but a trait I was thinking with this would be to be able to put himself together again only when accessing this essence. Like going to straw instead of blood. Like Ragdoll Sally, easy to put parts together again. If he went into a scarecrow form he's lose his higher level of brain function and thinking however.

The Tinman: If I went with this he'd sometimes appear to be metal, both inside and out. His skeleton is already adamantium, so maybe his skin could be too. Anytime he goes into a metal form though he'd lose his heart. Be heartless and care less for things.

Abilities:
Instantaneous Regeneration:
Also known as his Healing Factor. Depending on how severe the wound is he can heal within seconds or hours. Stripped down to his bones, he can still regenerate back to normal health. He can be killed, but given time his system will regenerate and bring him back to life. Because of the Adamantium grafted to his bones this helps with his indestructibility.

Reduced Aging Process:
Because of his healing factor it seems he’s slowed in the aging process as well. There is a possibility that he has stopped aging, or slowed to a point that it’s almost not noticeable. Later we find that he is aging but it’s the metal in his body that is making him sick. At that point in his life he seems to age more aggressively, like time has caught up to him a bit more.

Poison Resistance:
High tolerance to poisons and tranquilizers, drugs and alcohols. This isn’t to say he can’t be affected by them, but it takes a lot more to do anything at all, and poisons that generally kill a person might just make him sick. A single tranquilizer might take out a normal person but Wolverine simply gets a bit groggy and shrugs it off. He drinks alcohol by the bottle to feel much of anything but never gets to a ‘drunk’ status.

Retractable Bone Claws:
His natural born mutant power was to grow retractable bone claws that would regenerate if broken. This and his healing factor are his genetic mutation. Three spare sharp bones shoot from between the four knuckle joints, extending well past his hand. If broken off they will regenerate. These bones retract back into his arm.

Adamantium Skeleton:
The Weapon X Program grafted Adamantium to his bones making him indestructible. The bone claws are now covered in perfect sharp blades, still three of which shoot out of his knuckles. His entire bone structure is covered in this metal, leaving him indestructible BUT also vulnerable to opponents with magnetically aligned powers or metal control powers. He has control over how fast or slow he can draw his claws out, as well as how many at once.

Superhuman Advances:
Strength, Speed, Endurance, Reflexes, Agility, Senses, Weather adaption.
Unlike normal humans his mutant DNA that helps his healing factor also assists in his health, age and general abilities. He can run faster, hit harder, and lift large things with ease. He has high stamina and endurance, a high resistance to different elements and temperatures as well as enhanced senses. Taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight are all high above most other humans. Like an animal he can track things on the wind. His senses enable him to ‘feel’ danger in the air, much like an animal.

Quirks:
The Cowardly Lion: Fear of small animals. Like... literally jumping back with a yelp around a kitten or a puppy. Uncontrolled shaking of his knees around a rat. Etc.

The Scarecrow: When he takes a Scarecrow form he gets a bit thoughtless, distracted and brainless.

The Tinman: When it takes a metal man form, he loses his heart and ability to care.

Goal: I'd just like to have some fun in the setting and having him bond with other people. I'm like to find him people who need help, protection, or just friends.
Extra: I'm open to other ideas or thoughts for Logan.
Questions: I just want some thoughts on what others think and feel.
