| Introduction
|
| Despite his dark appearance, Kurt always tries to be positive about any situation. He is optimistic, adventurous, but also incredibly anxious. Due to his mutation, he has faced a lot of adversity and ridicule and because of that is terrified of ever being seen. But once you get to know him, and he lets you into his life, he loves cracking jokes and sometimes even pulling pranks.

| Description
|
| Kurt appears somewhat demonic, with blue fur covering his lanky body and a 3"8' long blue tail to match. Along with this, his legs also are mutated and he constantly stands in a semi-crouching position which leaves him at about 5'7". He only has two toes, which are longer than an average human, and his hands have three fingers including opposable thumbs. For his face, he has bright yellow eyes and sharp fangs. His hair is dark blue and stops a little after his shoulders, and is usually tucked behind his elf-like ears.
Kurt very much enjoys the aesthetic of the '80s and '90s and his fashion reflects this: with high-waisted, cuffed jeans, lots of layers and loose sweaters, and bright colors.

| Reputation
|
| Kurt is one of the newer students at Xavier's, so he has yet to truly make an impression yet. However, he is one of the very few visibly mutated students at the school, and because of this, he is very wary about talking to people on campus or out of it.

| History
|
| Kurt was initially born out of an affair his mother, Mystique Darkholme, had with the mysterious mutant Azazel. At first, they wanted to play off Kurt as the Count's son, but, when he was born -- they both knew they couldn't pass off Kurt as a human child. Mystique and Kurt were run out of their village by a mob, and to save her son, she placed him in a basket and let him float down the river during her escape.
Kurt was then found by Margali Szardos, a fortuneteller for Herr Getmann's Traveling Menagerie. Taking the child with her, he was unofficially adopted by the circus and from a young age worked as an act. Despite not being able to teleport, he was incredibly flexible, and his demonic appearance brought in crowds. However, each year, less and less people came to see Kurt, and Herr Getmann could no longer afford to keep Kurt contained between his acts. He decided to sell him, but, Margali fought against this. She freed him, and they both fled, however on his way out, he knocked over a torch, setting the circus on fire. Herr Getmann and his men chased Kurt into the woods where they were about to kill him. But, in the blink of an eye, he was in the middle of the street, confused but relieved that he had somehow managed to get away.
Kurt was on the streets now, hiding in the shadows and scrounging for whatever he could to survive. One day, he found his way to Father Wagner's church, where he would sleep in the attic during the day to avoid detection. However, Father Wagner found him, but instead of throwing him out -- he accepted him, and officially adopted the boy.
Father Wagner housed him in his church, but, it wasn't easy. Knowing that Kurt deserved better than what he was getting, he reached out to Charles Xavier about his school. With Kurt's approval, he left Germany and to America, where he now resides in Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters as a student.

| Powers
|
| His prehensile tail can both carry the weight of himself and others.
Kurt can teleport anywhere in a 2-mile radius, however, he must see/know where he is teleporting to void teleporting into solid objects. When he teleports, a small puff of smoke is left in his previous position, and the smell of burning brimstone is also present. His teleportation also makes a clear *bamf* sound, both appearing and disappearing. He can take people/objects with him, however, the larger the object is, the harder it will be for him to teleport it. He uses the Brimstone Dimension to teleport, hence the smell/smoke.
He can see in low to no light.
He can stick to objects with his hands and feet, allowing him to climb on surfaces.
Because of both his blue fur and his connection to the Brimstone Dimension, he has limited camouflage abilities. In dark light or dim light, he can blend in easily with his surroundings.
