Character Name: Logan aka Wolverine
Player: Kerri

Journal: canadianwildboy
Fighting Skills: Logan is familiar with and experienced in virtually every fighting style on Earth.
Other Skills: Wolverine speaks fluent English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, Cheyenne, Lakota and Spanish, and has some knowledge of French, Thai and Vietnamese. He is an accomplished pilot.
Powers (if applicable): Logan has the power to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his celllular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human. This power is not subject to his will; the regeneration occurs automatically. The speed with which the healing occurs varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage. It is unknown whether he could regenerate an entire organ or body part such as a limb.
His fast healing ability makes him virtually immune to poisons and most drugs. Alcohol does not intoxicate him. He also has limited immunity to the fatigue drugs generated by bodily activity. This gives him greater endurance than an ordinary human being.
His senses are superhumanly acute, and are comparable to those of certain animals. For example, he can track someone by smell just as a dog or wolf can. His sense of hearing is only slightly less acute than that of Daredevil. It is unknown whether Wolverine can see into the infrared and ultraviolet portions of the spectrum or if his taste and touch are superhumanly acute. (He has not submitted to testing.) His senses comprise a separate mutant power but they are also due in part to his power of cellular regeneration. Thanks to the latter power, the cells of his sense organs do not atrophy.
His skeleton has been artificially laced with Adamantium molecules, rendering his bones virtually unbreakable. He has also been equiped with three Adamanatium claws on each hand. The claws are roughly a foot long, the length of his forearm. He can unsheathe any number of his claws at once. The hardness of adamantium and their sharpness allow him to use them to cut through virtually any substance depending on its thickness and the amount of force he can exert.
Logan has great strength for a man of his size, although it does not reach superhuman levels. He has been known to lift at least 500 pounds.
History: Wolverine’s past is shrouded in mystery. There is no known record of his birth, and since his mutant healing ability causes him to age at a considerably slower rate than that of human beings, his age cannot be estimated. He was found barely alive in the Canadian Rockies by James and Heather Hudson. At this point, he already possessed his adamantium claws and skeleton, although he had no memory of the procedure. Indeed, he had no memory of his life at all before his discovery by the Hudsons. They nursed him back to health and a semblance of sanity.
Because of his special qualities, he was brought into the Canadian Secret Service. (This was not the first time in his life he was an intelligence agent, but where or for whom is unknown.) Because of his usefulness, the Canadian government spent millions both to train Logan in the use of his powers and to psychologically condition him to suppress his berserker tendencies. They were moderately successful.
Logan possesses memories of being a Samurai in Japan, a mercenary operative for the Central Intelligence Agency, and a "wild man" in the Canadian wilderness. Due to extensive memory implants given to Logan through the Weapon X program, any or all of these memories are suspect. Logan has at least one memory of meeting Captain America (Steve Rogers) in World War II while he was in the Canadian Army which has been verified as true. Sometime after World War II, Logan was taken by a group of scientists led by Dr. Cornelius as part of the Weapon X program. Cornelius was hired to perfect and use a technique that would bond the indestructible element adamantium to human bone cells. Logan's skeleton was bonded to the adamantium, and he was indoctrinated into the Weapon X assassin program.
Wolverine was conscripted by Department H, and for his first mission was sent against the incredible Hulk. After his success in pushing Hulk back, SHIELD took an interest in him and made him an offer he refused twice before Department H was persuaded to make an indefinite loan of his services. Since then, Logan has been moving between countries at will as a sleeper agent. |
