[color=999999]Alone. Hunted. Afraid. This is how Kurt Wagner enters America in 1968, fleeing from the horrid memories of his previous life in Germany. A stranger in a strange land, this version of Nightcrawler is searching for safe haven in America, for a place he can call home and a family he can rely upon. He'll be facing the challenges that an immigrant and someone with such an obvious mutation as he does would be during one of the most contentious times in America. Through his eyes I will be exploring the themes of discrimination, family, and enduring optimism in the face of resolute hate. I want to take a very honest look at how somehow like Kurt Wagner would adapt to the rapidly changing circumstances in America. How he would find family and hope in the Morlocks, and how far he would go to protect his newfound home.

A big thing I want to emphasize is that Kurt will be exploring a part of the mutant world that isn't especially emphasized. While Xavier and Magneto fight for mutant equality, Nightcrawler is simply fighting for mutant survival among those who, for the most part, can't hide their mutations. He and the Morlocks are operating on a much more micro-level than the other advocates, defending mutants if they can afford to, offering sanctuary and family, but overall just wishing that humans would let them live in peace.

Or, as Kurt might quote, [i]"...on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18[/i]

I'll get to a detailed history fairly soon.

[color=999999][hider=Supporting cast][list][*]Callisto
Leader and founder of the Morlocks, Callisto is the only authority to in the underground society which formed in response to the mutant scare. An effective tactician, a fiercly loyal friend, and bearing the brutal honesty necessary for her position, there is no doubt that Callisto would do anything to protect her fellow Morlocks. As tensions between humans and mutants increase, she has found it increasingly difficult to keep her underground society hidden and out of the conflict which rages above them on the streets of New York.
[*]Caliban
A pale, freakish mutant, Caliban serves as Callisto's chief adviser and only mutant tracker. One of the founders of the Morlocks, Caliban at times feels like Callisto's focus on isolation and defense is not enough, but ultimately stands with his friend. Caliban is a lonely sort, either found in Callisto's company or no one's, and often feels under appreciated for the services he offers his fellow Morlocks.
[*]Titan
Before he went underground, Titan was a mutant who has deep connections to organized crime in New York City. He used his immense strength and rock-like exterior to pose as dumb muscle for those who would employ him, all while gathering connections and information that would ensure his rise in status amongst the criminals he wished to rule. Unfortunately, his rise to power was cut short when he was sold out by a man he thought he could trust. Forced to flee, he found safe haven amongst the Morlocks, where those outcast by society above were more than happy to have his strength at his side. Titan is known for butting heads with Callisto regurarly, and he represents a growing faction of more militant Morlocks who wish to gain power and strike back against the humans. Whether Titan genuinely believes in the Morlock cause is unknown, but he is certainly a popular figure in the underground mutant community.
[*]Leech
A friendly and naive sort, Leech proves to be one of the youngest Morlocks currently living underground (currently age twelve). He, due to his power nullification mutation, proves to be also one of the most powerful. A bit of a controversial figure among the his adopted family, as some enjoy the feeling of being normal while others feel like it takes away from their identity.
[*]Rahne Sinclair
One of the few mutants living underground that could pass for human, Rahne lives with the Morlocks as she feels she has nowhere else to go. Excommunicated as a teenager by her adopted family on the grounds of her "unholy mutation", Rahne has lived with the outcasted folk ever since. [/list][/hider][/color]
