Just to let everyone know it seems Imgur has for whatever reason been blocked in the UK. This is my main image hosting website of choice, so if anyone has any recommendations for others please let me know. Unfortuantely the below is all I see if something is posted through Imgur!

I'll be catching up on what posts I haven't read this morning, and I'll get another Bat post up later today!

Aside from RPG’s own image feature, I’ve been using ImageChest lately. It functions quite like Imgur, fyi, and it even allows you to copy the BBCode link of the pic you just uploaded. 

Oh, and btw, chief, I’ve wrapped up my character sheet (finally). Feel free to point out if there’s something or anything I need to change. Thanks!

[COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ REGENERATIVE HEALING FACTOR[/b][/color]
Wolverine’s regenerative system can heal most—if not every—wound and injury inflicted upon his body at the velocity far surpassing that of an average human being’s. The regenerative process is automatic, which means that Wolverine has zero control over it. Initially, his healing factor only took up to hours or minutes to recover near-fatal injuries until the experimental procedure that bonded his skeleton with the Adamantium metal (we’ll get to that later). Since then, his healing factor works a few milliseconds slower than prior to the Adamantium bonding. In addition, this mutated manifestation renders him immune to all sorts of substances and diseases, as well as capable of hindering most of his tragic memories in the past, which unfortunately causes him to suffer from serious memory issues.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ RETRACTABLE CLAWS[/b][/color]
Part of Wolverine’s skeleton comprises of six lengthy bone claws stowed underneath the skin of his forearms—three in each. Consciously, Wolverine can draw out one or all of them through the gaps between his knuckles at any given time. Even prior to the Adamantium bonding, the bone claws were keener and firmer than normal bones, capable of piercing many arduous materials. The Adamantium bonding only amplified their strength further, rendering them indestructible.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ HEIGHTENED SENSES[/b][/color]
Wolverine’s senses far surpass those of average human being’s, most notably his sight, hearing, and smell. He can hear sounds from a far greater distance, see further than any or most men, and even recognize and track his target merely through their scent. However, his heightened senses can often be taken advantage of, as a thunderclap might cause him to suffer from sensory overload.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH[/b][/color]
Wolverine’s arduous skeleton—coupled with his healing factor regularly recovering his muscles—grants him the ability to withstand unimaginable physical pressure and throw heavier physical blows than average trained pugilists can. This also allows him to lift up to 800 lbs.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ SUPERHUMAN SPEED[/b][/color]
While far from the fastest, Wolverine can move at decent superhuman speed, especially in combat. He can attack faster than the eye can catch up, even easily bombarding his adversary before they can land a blow.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ SUPERHUMAN ENDURANCE[/b][/color]
Due to his healing factor, Wolverine can exert himself physically for several continuous days without suffering from fatigue. The Adamantium bonding only amplified his durability further.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ SUPERHUMAN REFLEXES AND AGILITY[/b][/color]
Wolverine’s heightened senses enhance both his reflexes and agility beyond those of average human beings’, allowing him to react to any assault precisely.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ANIMAL EMPATHY[/b][/color]
Honed during his time in the wilderness, Wolverine can communicate with animals on a basic level, managing to perceive their feelings and displaying his intentions to gain their trust.[/color][/sup][color=#2e2c2c]-[/color][/indent]

After a freak experiment at the Weapon X facility, Wolverine’s entire skeleton was fused with Adamantium—one of the strongest, rarest metals in the world. As a result, his bones are practically unbreakable, increasing the strength of his flails and kicks. The Adamantium fusion has also improved the strength of his already sturdy bone claws. They are capable of slicing through just about any concrete material, although whether or not the claws can penetrate an object completely still depends on its density and the amount of force that Wolverine employs.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ TRACKING[/b][/color]
Wolverine’s heightened senses allow him to hone his tracking skills to perfection, making him one of the finest trackers in the world.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ MARTIAL ARTS MASTERY[/b][/color]
Due to his extensive combat experience, Wolverine has mastered a variety of self-defense methods of different martial arts disciplines across the world. This allows him to adapt to all sorts of martial arts practitioners, greatly aiding him during his stint as a cage fighter.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ WEAPONS PROFICIENCY[/b][/color]
Wolverine is proficient in utilizing all sorts of blades, explosives, and armed weapons, thanks to his experiences as a soldier and a mercenary.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ VEHICLES PROFICIENCY[/b][/color]
Wolverine can operate and repair different types of vehicles, most notably motorcycles. At one point, he was an accomplished pilot during his stint in the Canadian military.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ASSASSINATION[/b][/color]
As somebody who spends most of his life in the battlefield, Wolverine knows dozens of effective methods in executing his adversaries, especially when blades are involved.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ MULTILINGUAL[/b][/color]
Wolverine is a polyglot who understands many languages, such as English, Japanese, Russian, Mandarin, Korean, Spanish, Farsi, French, German, Thai, and Vietnamese.[/color][/sup][color=#2e2c2c]-[/color][/indent]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]The year was 1922. James “Jimmy” Howlett was born the son of Elizabeth Howlett, the wife of the Howlett Estate’s owner John Howlett. In reality, however, Jimmy was the illegitimate fruit of a secret affair between Elizabeth and Thomas Logan, the groundskeeper working for the wealthy Howlett family. Although loved and cared by his extended family and servants residing in the mansion, Jimmy’s childhood was a rocky one, as he spent most of the time laying ill on his bed, barely able to do anything. This soon changed, one fateful night, when Thomas breached through the mansion drunk and forced Elizabeth to come with him. Furious to learn about the affair, John confronted Thomas, engaging himself in an intense verbal exchange with the groundskeeper which soon became physical. Thomas, armed with a shotgun, decided to blow John’s head into smithereens, instantly ending the scuffle. Hearing the loud gunfire and his mother’s shriek for help, the alarmed Jimmy forced himself to rise out of his sickbed and scurried towards the scene, only to be devastated by the sight of John’s lifeless form laying close to his terrified mother. In a fit of rage, Jimmy subconsciously retracted his bone claws out of his knuckles, revealing his genetical mutation for the first time. With them, he wounded his biological father several times before stabbing him in cold blood, aiming at his heart. In his dying breath, Thomas finally revealed to young Jimmy that he was his true father and not John, much to Jimmy’s dismay. Shocked and horrified, Jimmy ran out of the mansion and into the wilderness, spending the rest of his early years residing in a Cold Lake forest with a pack of wolves. It was around this time when Jimmy began adopting the name “Logan” as a tribute to his biological father.

In 1941, the Canadian government initiated a nation-wide search for every adult man with “X-Genes” for their classified military program dubbed the “Weapon X.” Logan, who was only 19 at the time, was one of the X-Gene carriers drafted to partake in the program, becoming a brother-in-arms to a fellow feral mutant by the name of Victor Creed. His stint in the army was far from humane to say the least, as he and the other Weapon X members were continuously tormented, brainwashed, and experimented on by researchers in an enclosed facility. The purpose was to improve their mutations to help Canada and the Allies win the second World War. While some like Victor willingly accepted the programming, Logan, on the other hand, chose to rebel, questioning the methods that the researchers used to [i]upgrade[/i] their [i]living weapons[/i] any chance he could. As a result, he became the primary subject of experimentation, receiving both physical and mental torments far beyond human comprehension. With each torment, they forced Logan to abandon his humanity, gradually leading him to insanity. Eventually, as the conflict between nations heated, so had Logan reached his limits. Despite his healing factor, he couldn’t withstand the torments and intense brainwashing much further when they began infusing a heavy dosage of Adamantium alloy into his bones. The process was extremely agonizing that it prompted Logan to snap out of the programming, causing him to enter a berserker state where he found himself mindlessly attacking several researchers and even fellow mutant soldiers on sight. Some were injured, but most were killed, including Victor’s younger brother Saul. 

By the time he escaped the facility, Logan had almost no recollection of his past, as his healing factor repressed all the traumatic memories that’d been burdening him since the moment he discovered his mutation. He ended up returning to the same forest he used to reside in, now completely animalistic. Thankfully, before long, his healing factor managed to recover his sanity back, and by the time he’d regained complete awareness, he abandoned the forest to spend the next decades of his life wandering aimlessly from places to places, working as a hired mercenary and an unauthorized cage fighter to put his animalistic tendency to good use. However, as he grew older and wiser, Logan began to grow tired of living a violent life. While he still participates in local bar fights every now and then, he’s long left his old life to reside in the Canadian Rockies, enjoying tranquility with his sweetheart Silver Fox and her fellow Blackfoot tribesmen. But with a ghost from his past returning to haunt him, how long will the tranquility last?

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]Why do I want to play this character? That’s the first question that I believe we’ll all find upon filling up this exact section of the character sheet, eventually. I think—at least for me—the reason is obvious. For those who have known me long enough (obviously the guys who I got to interact with before I went to RPG), they’d know that Wolverine is one of my all-time favorites within the broader Marvel verse. After all, I used to spend a lot of my time playing this good ol’ Canucklehead within group settings similar to this, but alas, that was ages ago. I haven’t quite played him that much ever since, so when the chance is present, you bet that I wouldn’t hesitate to apply for him. Now, in addition, I’ve been a fan of him for a long time. Aside from Spidey, Wolverine is another one of those comic book tough guys who I can easily resonate with. While I’m not a century old boomer who’s been through wars and tragedies beyond human comprehension, I am—in fact—somebody who often enjoys staying in solitude just as much as Wolverine does. And it can’t help when I was something of a loner growing up, so Wolverine and his stories always touch me on a personal level.

Now, as far as the direction of his story is concerned, I’m thinking of building Wolverine’s inclusion to the X-Men gradually to focus on adapting the story where he met Silver Fox and the Blackfoot tribesmen, but instead of taking place prior to World War I, this exact angle will take place at the present day when Wolverine has gone through World War II and the experimentation performed upon him by the Weapon X researchers—hence the reason why I decided to make him younger than two centuries. The main inspiration for my Wolverine is his Earth-616 counterpart, but I’ll also take a bit from other versions outside of the mainline comics, most notably the live action adaptations. Say what you want about the movie, but X-Men Origins is partially to [i]blame[/i] for inspiring me to go ahead and pair Wolverine and Silver Fox to start this series of stories. I also thought that the movie could’ve been told differently, so I want to give retelling it a try if this can be considered a retelling, anyway. I’ll definitely ditch and repair obvious plot elements here and there [s](including the not-so-mouthful Barakapool and Sabretooth being Wolverine’s brother)[/s], but I digress.

There are, of course, playable characters I hope Wolverine gets to interact with as the game progresses, especially those connected to him and/or the X-Men. Well, that, if anybody’s up for collaborations in the future. I might not be the best there is at what I do, but I hope my stories can bring the same kind of intensity that you’d find from reading an actual Wolverine comic.
