Sorry about lack of updates. Was sick in bed for a few days, which was not fun.
As for how I'm intending to play Jimmy Hudson I'm going to avoid being a member of the X-Men, instead focusing more on the legacy of Wolverine and other mutant stuff like Weapon X. Expect a character proposal either tonight or tomorrow.
Sorry for being absent. Was actually sick in bed with the flu until yesterday, so that was fun. Anyways I've reposted my character and am ready for the IC to begin.
Powers: Abe is of both celestial and infernal heritage and has inherited powers from it. His celestial side gave him healing energies. By touching someone who is injured Abe can send forth energy from his body that can heal wounds, remove poisons and toxins, and help the wounded come back to a clear state of mind. From his infernal side he inherited the ability to shape shift, taking on the appearance of another person, including their clothes.
Skills: Abe is a skilled actor, being in theatrical productions since he was little. Because of this he can get into a role very fast, quickly picking up on the speech pattern and mannerisms of who he is impersonating. He has used these skills to infiltrate criminal organizations and get the information needed to take them down. He can also bullshit his way out of a lot of situations.
Weaknesses: There are several limitations to Abe’s powers. He must physically touch someone to heal them, the more severe the wound the more energy he must expend and the longer it takes to heal. He cannot reattach severed limbs or resurrect the dead. Abe can not use his healing powers on himself. With the shape shifting Abe can only shift into an appearance of similar height or weight as Abe. Also he has to have gotten a good look at someone’s face to replicate it properly, otherwise it comes off blurry and missing features. Use of either power tires Abe, who can actually fall ill if he expends too much healing energy. Besides his two powers, Abe is essentially human and can be wounded or killed in the same manner as other humans.
Day Job: Film student and part-time employee at a movie shop.
How did Arrowcaster find you?: Arrowcaster heard rumours of a shape shifter. While investigating it he discovered Abe and his undercover operation with a crime cartel.
BRIEF Bio: Abner was born to Heidi Willow, a young college student and soon to be single mother. He was told while growing up that his father was an older man that had a brief affair with Heidi, leaving the city before she learnt that she was pregnant. The young mother dropped out of college to care for Abner, working many shifts at various minimum wage workplaces. It was around the time that Abner was turning two that Heidi began seeing Deacon Shan, a friend of her family. Within a few months they got married, Heidi deciding to give Abner the Shan name as well. Deacon was a good father and supported Abner’s, or Abe as he began to be called, interest in the dramatic arts. He starred in various productions while in school, almost always getting the lead. Another major aspect of Abe’s life was movies, as he was a bit of a movie buff.
When Abe was ready to apply for college he shocked most who knew him because instead of pursuing acting he decided instead to go to film school. However that was all shaken up when he turned eighteen. As he was now an adult his secret heritage awoke in him. He became aware that his mother and biological father were playing host to a celestial being and an infernal being when he was conceived. This forbidden union produced a human with some of the power of both beings; the celestial healing and the infernal shape shifting. Abe decided to use his powers for good, figuring that he could be a hero.
How will your character be different one year later?: As Abe grows more into his powers he will be able to access more of his hybrid heritage. For the shape shifting that means a greater range of transformations, being able to play around more with height and build. The healing energy will increase, allowing him to heal faster and even make physical light barriers out of the energy. He will also have learnt more about the celestial and infernal beings whose power he shares.
Sample Post:
The still of the midnight air over the docks was disturbed violently by the sound of a Glock 19 firing repeatedly. Fleeing from the bursts of fury was Abe, though he was in the garb of the hero Paradox, his boots clattering against the ground, the wooden planks underneath him drooping from the force of his sprint. As he turned a corner past another empty stall, Abe cursed his one hiccup that had led to multiple men firing at him with the intent to kill.
For several weeks Abe had been posing as a new recruit in the Viper Cartel. Under a different face and an assumed name, Jack Hilton, Abe had positioned himself close to Mob Boss Angelo Gregor, all in an attempt to gather evidence of his crimes to anonymously hand over to the Mega City Police Department. That was all going fine and well until one of Angelo’s lieutenants had spotted Abe shape shifting near one of the cartel hangouts. Realizing he was a powered interloper, the lieutenant quickly alerted his associates. That was twenty minutes ago.
Abe swore profusely as his lungs burned from the near constant sprinting. He had been switching disguises every few minutes, but alas the mobsters were not thrown off the trail. It didn’t help that they were running around on the edge of the city at an ungodly hour of the night, meaning there weren’t a lot of people around.
Feeling completely maxed out, Abe ducked into a washroom connected to a burger stand. Abe dashed into the farthest stall and started to pray that he had lost the cartel members. After a few minutes Abe got up, having not heard anything in a while. He pressed his ear against the bathroom door, hoping that it was over. Instead, he heard the sirens of a police car. Apparently there were enough people in the area to have reported the gunfire. Abe shifted into the appearance of a homeless man as he opened the door, his hands up.
“Thank god officers,” Abe said with a slur, “These guys have just been shooting off.”
“OK sir, just stay there,” ordered one of the officers.
“Sure, sure, I’ll just sta- Oh shit!”
A bullet ripped through the officer’s shoulder, as two gangsters jumped out from a corner. He yelped as he fell down. The other officer whipped around only to get a fist to his face, blood gushing from his nose as he too collapsed. Abe immediately fell into flight or fight mode, charging the nearest gangster. Abe’s fist exploded toward the man, landing squarely in his throat. As he collapsed Abe turned to the other gangster, his other fist swinging at him.
The gang member raised his gun, only to be swatted by Abe. With a wild yell Abe raised his leg, striking the man in the reproductive organs. He too fell to the floor. With both assailants down Abe turned toward the wounded police officer. Crouching down, Abe placed his right hand on the man’s shoulder, golden energy spreading into it. As he did so the officer stopped groaning, his pain disappearing.
Once the wound fully healed Abe stood up and sighed. Then he heard the click off a gun with its safety off. Abe tensed up, as everything he ever wanted to do but hadn’t yet went through his mind. Eighteen years was not nearly enough for him.
The shot he had been anticipating finally went off as something whizzed past Abe’s head. A gasp of pain was audible as Abe heard the gun fall to the ground. Abe turned around to see an arrow lodged in the gangster’s hand. Seizing the opportunity, Abe let loose several savage punches, the final one smashing the gangster to the ground unconscious.
“That’s a mean right hook,” stated someone standing in shadow.
Abe turned to face him, fists at the ready.
“I’m not here to fight,” the man stepped into the streetlight, “Just to watch. The name’s Arrowcaster.”
It took a second but Abe realized who he was, “Oh man! You’re one of those old school heroes. A legend!”
Arrowcaster grinned, “I don’t know about old, but I’ll take the legend part.”
Abe shifted into his hero costume, “So how can I help you?”
Just came back to the Guild and ready to RP and this seems interesting. Most likely will apply as Wolverine, specifically Jimmy Hudson, the son of the Ultimate Marvel Wolverine. Of course I'll be mixing things in from other continuities and my own ideas. Expect a character sheet tomorrow.

My apologies but I am going to have to withdraw from this game. Changes in my schedule and health issues have made it so I cannot put the in the time and quality that I would want to give. Maybe we can RP in the future.
Sorry, real life sucks, if it happens again I'll make sure to message you to know if I may be away for a couple of days. Anyways posted in the CS thread and the IC thread.
