MY NAME IS { james 'logan' howlett }
but some people know me better as { w o l v e r i n e }
When people see me, they notice...
Logan stands at five feet and three inches tall and with his Adamantium skeleton, he weighs around three-hundred pounds. His eyes are blue and his hair is black. His unusual features include anima-like canine teeth; two sets of three, one foot long bone claws covered in Adamantium stored in his forearm; mutton chop sideburns; his unique hairstyle; and a hirsute physique. (Helpful source: Marvel wikia)
When they talk to me, though, they might make note of...
Logan is the most savage member of the X-Men, and often questioned as to why he was allowed to join the Avengers. He's a gruff loner with an immense sense of honor. He's very honorable, brave, and noble. Yet he is one of the most dangerous men in the world and he doesn't hide that. He is always trying to control his berserker and more savage side and most of the times doesn't even mind dealing with his adversaries permanently for the greater good. He doesn't give his trust away easily and people that he completely trusts include Captain America, Nick Furry, and Spider-Man. He's protective over the children of the school as well as his fellow X-Men. Since the death of Xavier, he has tried to make sure he lives up to the X-Men legacy and name.

Now, as for those people I'm related to, well, I've got...
Logan's biological parents are both deceased. He has a son, Daken Akihirio, and a clone which he considers a daughter, Laura Kinney. He has become like a father to Black Widow, Jubilee, Armor, and Shadowcat.
The things I'm good at? Glad you asked...
As an X-Man and an Avenger, Wolverine's skills range from leadership to combat. Though he's rarely good with following orders, he knows how to give them. He's a master tactician and has an uncanny ability in preparing for an upcoming battle. Though he can act rather animalistic at times, he's actually quite intelligent. Due to living so long, he has been able to master virtually every fighting technique found on Earth. He's mastered twenty-eight forms of Kung-Fu and knows where the pressure points are located on the human body as well as some aliens and supernatural creatures. Through controlling his thoughts and emotions, he has also been known to stop the negative effects of Chi. Logan has also trained to become a master swordsman, using the Kenjutsu technique. During his years working for the C.I.A., Canadian intelligence, and S.H.E.I.L.D., he has become an expert at covert ops. He has become familiar with many vehicles, weapons, aircraft, and computer systems. He has also become a highly skilled assassin. Logan can also speak many languages including Arabic, English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Thai, German, Vietnamese, Lakota, and Portuguese. He has come to know the cultures and respects the beliefs and costumes of those languages. He's also a skilled mechanic and works on the Blackbird. (Helpful source: Comic vine)
But, well, I'm not completely perfect...
Logan has a hard head and doesn't always follow orders, which gets him in trouble with his teammates at times. His animalistic nature has been known to show up and he has a hard time controlling his anger.
I guess you want to know about what sets me apart from most of the population, huh? Well...
Wolverine's most prominent mutation is his healing factor. He's able to heal from virtually any wound at an incredible speed. This also gives him a high resistance to poisons and toxins. He possesses superhuman abilities such as durability, strength, acute senses, reflexes, and stamina, His speed is enhanced, but only at a low-level superhuman speed. He has been shown to understand the emotions of animals and communicate with them at a very basic level. Logan also has level nine psi shields implanted in his mind, though they wouldn't be enough to keep a powerful telepath out of his head. (Helpful source: Comic vine)
Awesome, right? Well, not all the time...
Though he has a healing factor, it depends entirely on his body's state. If he has lacked a lot of sleep and is malnourished, his healing will take more time. Wolverine's direct weakness is the Murumasa Blade, which is a magical blade that has been endowed with the ability to halt the process of accelerated healing factors. His senses can also be overloaded, though he has learned to deal with that. Decapitation would also be a direct way to kill him, however it is unknown if he would or wouldn't heal if his head was reattached to his neck. Logan is also vulnerable to certain amounts of Adamantium poisoning. The poison can stun his healing factor to a very minor degree. The thirteen different allotropes of Adamantium have also been shown to have an effect on him, causing dizziness. Carbodium is also a poisonous substance to him and could be lethal. (Helpful source: Comic vine)
If you see me out in the street, you'd notice I wear...
When he isn't wearing his yellow and dark blue costume, Logan can usually be found wearing jeans and a plain t-shirt, occasionally with a leather jacket unzipped or a plaid shirt unbuttoned on top. His style rarely changes and he prefers to keep it simple. He doesn't give much thought into what he wears or how he'll look, as he doesn't care about that all that much.
Maybe some of that comes from my past...
The man who would be known as the superhero named Wolverine was born as James Howlett Hudson in the mid 1880s in Alberta, Canada. He was the second and sickly child to Elizabeth and John Howlett Sr. His mother was ill and, in the early 1900s, a young Irish girl named Rose O'Hara was brought to the Howlett estate to be a friend and a caretaker to young James. Together they befriended a young boy named Dog, son of the grounds keeper, Thomas Logan. Dog tried to form a normal bond between the two, but due to his father’s drunken abuse, he grew to resent the pair and plotted with his father against them. After a botched robbery turns into a successful murder, young James’ powers suddenly manifest and he stabs Thomas with his newly drawn claws, also slashing Dog across the face before fainting. He and Rose flee the house and make their way through the harsh Canadian wilderness with James near-catatonic and Rose having to facilitate their transportation.
They arrive at a mine where Rose gives false names, calling James incorrectly as “Logan.” The other workers dub the revived Logan “the wolverine” because of his penchant for tenaciously digging and begin to accept him as one of their own due to his incredible work ethic. What they don’t know is that by night, he runs in the wild with a pack of wolves that he is cowed the alpha of. Dog arrives one day, having survived his encounter years ago, still holding a massive grudge against Logan. Logan recognizes his erstwhile friend and accepts his challenge to a brawl to the death. Before Logan can kill Dog, however, Rose tries to pull him away and is inadvertently stabbed through the chest, killing her and leaving Logan to mourn alone.
In 1910, Logan traveled to another frontier community in the Canadian Rockies and met a young Blackfoot woman named Silver Fox, with whom he falls in love. She reciprocates, and the two share a cabin together in the woods and live happily for a time. In late May, when Logan believed his birthday to be, Sabretooth tracks and murders Silver Fox after seeing her and Wolverine together, envious that Logan had found a measure of peace. Upon discovering the gruesome scene, Wolverine flew into a rage and battles Sabretooth, but couldn’t best his counterpart, who was able to keep his cool.
Sabretooth and a mysterious cloaked figure then manipulated the feral, mindless Logan to slaughter the inhabitants of the town he had been living in at the time.
Later, employed by The Hudson's Bay Company as a fur trader to the Blackfoot Indians, he defeated the demonic snake-worm known as Uncegila, a feat which earned him the Blackfoot warrior name of "Skunk-Bear." A broad, largely unseen conspiracy then began to shape Logan, robbed of his conscience and free will, into the perfect killer. Wherever Logan went, Sabretooth or one of his handlers, was not far behind.
In 1914, Logan joined the Canadian Army to fight during The Great War. During a battle in Belgium on April 22, 1915, Logan encountered Lazaer (anagram of Azrael, the Angel of Death) for the first time and a fight ensued. Lazaer got the upper hand and impaled Wolverine with his sword, but Logan pulled the sword from his body, and impaled Lazaer to defeat him. Since then, every time Logan has had a near death experience, he has had to battle Lazaer so that he is able to return back to the realm of the living and use his advanced healing factor to return to health.
When the authorities became aware of Logan's abilities, he was assigned to a special unit of the Canadian military, The Devil's Brigade, tasked with the most suicidal missions in the war under the command of the super-humanly strong Silas Burr (who later became the mercenary Cyber). After a falling out, Cyber murdered Logan's girlfriend and during the confrontation Logan was severely beaten and one of his eyes was removed, but he was able to escape. Cyber and Sabretooth tracked him at the bidding of Romulus and returned him to the squad where he was assigned to Madripoor.
After a stint in the small nation, Logan traveled to China where he turned down an offer from the warlord Ogun to instruct him in the Art of War. But Logan was a man ever on the move, this time finding himself in South America where he ran across Mystique for the first time. The two of them were going to be executed by firing squad, but escaped using their abilities and formed a small criminal syndicate. Wolverine and Mystique became romantically involved, but the relationship was short lived as Logan reported on their criminal doings to the police, thus sending the syndicate to prison and returning to Canada to take part in the Weapon X program.
During World War II, Logan teamed up with Captain America and Bucky Barnes in Madripoor. The two were unaware of his mutation, believing him to merely be extraordinarily lucky, and dubbed him “Lucky James.” One of their first significant missions was to rescue Natasha Romanova, a young child at the time, from being brainwashed into an assassin by The Hand. Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker was also implicated, causing Cap and Bucky’s attention to shift to the fascist HYDRA organization. During this time, Seraph, guardian of Madripoor and another ex-lover of Wolverine, was killed by Sabretooth, presumably under the orders of a strange entity called Romulus. But whom he was would not be revealed until years later. Logan decided to officially get involved in the war and enlisted in the Armed Forces, joining the First Canadian Parachute Battalion. It was with this battalion that he first encountered Bloodscream, an immortal being with vampire-like qualities and powers. He fought in various missions, already soon making a name for himself as one of the best soldiers in the division. He ended his stint living in Japan and possibly training as a samurai.
After WWII, Logan returned to Japan, having remembered Ogun's offer to train him. Logan would soon develop a deep love of Japan, particularly samurai culture and code of Bushido, that would stand the test of time. His training complete, he journeyed across the nation until he met the beautiful Itsu, with whom he started a family. But Logan’s destiny was never one of peace, and after he accidentally killed a man during a disaster, he returned home to find Itsu dead and the child they conceived stolen by Romulus. Logan had nothing left in Japan and returned to Canada to once again join with Weapon X. It was then that he gained his trademark adamantium skeleton, but also lost his memory due to the trauma of the experiment before joining Alpha Flight and taking on the Hulk for the first time.
After his military duty and his return from Japan and his training there, Logan applied for the job of Special Agent for an American underground government organization. With extreme coincidence, Logan's mortal enemy Sabretooth turned out to have applied for the same 'job'. A fight erupted in the offices of the organization, but both were subdued. At this time it turned out, it was not just a normal organization where the two had come to. They were both given a memory wipe and had false memories implanted. All except for Logan's time in Japan was a complete mystery to him, and Logan had no recollection of his former feud with Sabretooth. He fought on various missions together with teammates Maverick and John Wraith. It was during one of these missions that Logan first met and fought Omega Red.
False memories were given to Logan and his teammates after most missions, so they would not, or only partly remember what they had done or what their objective had been. After some time, Sabretooth's brutal ways became an eyesore to the other team members and it was not before long that the team had an internal conflict, resulting in a breakup of the team and Sabretooth leaving. Logan's missions for Team X seemed done, but his long road of suffering would just be at the beginning.

For the past several years, Logan has been off doing missions for both the X-Men and the Avengers. He has been keeping tabs on the school, however he hasn't been there. Having finished his latest mission with Captain America and Iron Man in France, he has chosen to return to the school and watch over the students.

For the past several years, Logan has been off doing missions for both the X-Men and the Avengers. He has been keeping tabs on the school, however he hasn't been there. Having finished his latest mission with Captain America and Iron Man in France, he has chosen to return to the school and watch over the students.
You want to meet me? It's your lucky day - here's a sneak peek...
Logan couldn't count the times he had returned to this school with a bag slung over his shoulder. He would get some comment from Scott, a hug from Ororo, and a bundle of questions from Jubilation. As he turned off his motorcycle, he sniffed the air, taking in the scents of those that were there and anyone who had stepped foot onto the campus recently. Naturally, he looked for the scent of enemies. If anyone he didn't like stepped foot onto the school grounds, they leave with their foot missing - and that was the best result for them in that situation. He didn't like the students to be put in danger, even if that was what the school prepared them for.
He took his helmet off and hooked it onto the handlebar of the motorcycle before making his way up to the front door. When he entered, he naturally turned a few heads from students that had heard about him, but never met him in person. The man that was an X-Man and an Avenger. He didn't like to gloat because there was nothing to gloat about. He simply was a man with a job to do and that job included protecting innocents.
He still couldn't believe that Scott Summers was the headmaster - it irked him how a man like Scott could boss him around. He had some respect for Scott, but they rarely saw eye to eye. He wasn't afraid to call the man out, though, so he couldn't quite complain. He didn't have to listen to Scott. He considered the man's orders to be mere suggestions. He did whatever felt right and even if he turned out to be wrong, he handled the situation and got out of it.
Walking into the main building, he paused and glanced around at the students that were there. They looked at him and murmured amongst themselves, but of course he could hear them. They knew who he was, knew the types of classes he taught and how he taught them. He smirked and continued walking. He'd let the students think they knew what to expect from him. And then his first class of the day would come, and he'd make the students' day turn to hell. After all, it was his duty as a teacher to make sure Summers wasn't slacking with the kids training. He wouldn't admit it, but this was going to be fun.
And the person behind the curtain reveals themselves...
I'm the lovely Tiger, the one who also writes Jubilee. If you need to get ahold of me, a personal message is just fine. Favorite color is the amazing red and I've been roleplaying for over four years.
And we got here by...
I know the admin from another site and I saw your lovely advertisement.
