The person behind the character:
Name/Nickname: Angel
Age: 18
Experience: 8 years
Contact information: PM for more info <3
Character basics:
Real name: Laura Renee Kinney
Code name: X-23
Date of Birth: August 5th
Place of Birth: Canada
Age: 16
Known family: Sarah Kinney - Surrogate Mother
James 'Logan' Howlett - Genetic father
The Reflection in the mirror:
Hair: Black, straight
Eyes: Emerald, almond shaped
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 105 normal/ 155 with Adamantium
Legal Status: Minor
Sasha Grey
Occupation: Weapon/Assassin
Affiliation: Weapon X currently
Abilities: The first and most obvious of Laura's abilities, is in fact her skeletal structure. Laura's skeleton includes two retractable steel claws in each arm and one claw per leg. Laura can extend or retract these claws at will though it does come at a price. The claws are housed beneath her skin and original bone structure, and she can release one or all six of the claws at once, though that too isn't without it's own demands. The claws are unnaturally sharp, and are stronger than any substance known to man, which allows her to cut through nearly every substance, ( or at least every substance that she's come into contact with).
Specifics: When her claws come out, it's extremely painful. As painful as getting stabbed on the hand in the knuckle of her index and ring fingers.
Another of her powers is Laura's ability to heal her body at a super human rate. She is able to regenerate injured or even destroyed parts of her body, which varies in the speed it takes due to the amount of damage taken. Laura's healing ability, also allows her possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of her cellular structure at a superhuman rate, which varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage she suffers. Laura's natural healing ability also extends to an immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases and other illnesses.
Specifics: Her healing ability is quite rapid. A gunshot wound will heal in a matter of minutes, she can regrow chunks of flesh in minutes to hours, depending on the severity of her injury. She cannot survive a beheading, and if she loses a hand, it will grow back, however with bone claws instead of adamantium.
Laura doesn't suffer from fatigue either, due to her super human endurance, agility, and reflexes. She also possesses enhanced senses, which allow her to see and hear things further away than even most mutants, she is able to taste poisons and spoil in foods before others eat them and potentially die, and she is also able to recognize people by their genetic scent, despite any perfume or deodorant one might use. She is able to track them down, even if they are hidden, with an impressive degree of success. Her healing factor has also offered her life longevity, due to the slowing of the effects of aging.
Specifics: Lengths of hearing and scent 'tracking' is unknown -- possible training exercise IC. Her max speed is 35 miles per hour.
Power Weaknesses: Laura's abilities typically come at a price to her own body, such as the adamantium steel claws that extend and retract from her body. Each time they are used, the steel rips through the many layers of muscle, tendon and skin, to slip to the surface, though she is able to heal at an extreme rate. Using these claws, demands that she keep her wrists/ankles straight at the moment the claws are extended or retracted to afford the proper replacement or extension.
Despite Laura's ability to heal and regenerate, she is not immortal. Injuries that result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and of course the removal of her head, and things of that nature, will surely kill her. Laura, while being one of heightened senses, also suffers from them as well, and for most of her lifetime, she was used as a killing machine using something called a Trigger Scent that sent her into violent murderous rages.
She has more emotional weaknesses however. She is very easily susceptible to a fit of rage, should anyone mention her mother or the circumstances that surround her death. The mere mention of her mother won't stress her out, however if anyone pushes her too hard or asks too many questions, it will make her stressed, and possibly flip out.
Skills: She is quite skilled in Martial Arts, having been trained since she was big enough to move well enough.
What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: Laura gives off an icy air when one first meets her. She isn't one to have an actual 'meeting' per se, as most of her meetings are battles, and she is typically the last thing a person sees before they die. Laura is hated or perhaps strongly disliked by others that know of her existence because of her harsh, cold attitude. She is strict, precise, and never uses any sort of slang when speaking, despite her apparent age of sixteen. She was raised without the benefit, or lack thereof of outside influences, such as television, radio, or video games, and thus her 'self' projection is, at best a cold one.
She is quite different with the two main people in her life, at this point. With her surrogate mother, Sarah Kinney, she is a distant, however obedient daughter. She once longed for a personal connection with her, to feel something, any sort of sign that the woman loved her. In the beginning there was, she'd have to admit, however any attempts for her to feel or give love was terminated by Dr. Sutter. After having to kill the man who taught her how to fight, she blocked off all emotional receptacles as best as she could. Despite her feelings, or lack thereof towards Sarah, she'd be the only human that she believe that she would protect.
While she doesn't 'fear' anything, the closest to that emotion that she would come to is with Kimura. She both fears and respects her, as much as Laura can fear and respect anyone. With other people, Laura sees them as potential targets or as fuel to the fodder as it were.
The only thing that changes Laura's personality is when she gets a hint of the 'Trigger Scent'. Once she comes into any sort of contact with the scent, she becomes a murderess hell bent on killing anyone and anything that gets in her way. Kimura and Sarah are not exempt from this rage. Laura has absolutely no control over this, as she goes into something like a 'berserker' rage, unable to stop until she is outside of the reach of the scent.
History:
Born.. That is a term X-23 is unfamiliar with. She was more 'created', as a means to solve a dilemma of a grand scale. Dr. Sutter, geneticist who had a big hand in working with the Weapon-X Facility and with Adamantium, desired the original Weapon X, however he failed in taming the beast, as it were, and decided to create a second. A clone. Dr. Sutter hired a second Geneticist by the name of Sarah Kinney. Sarah worked with what little DNA she was given, and from that 22 failed attempts of creating a second Weapon X. On the 23 attempt a successful embryo, rather than 'specimen' was created, against Dr. Sutter's wishes. And if that wasn't bad enough, Sarah had implanted the child within her own womb.
Nine months and two weeks later, Sarah gave birth to a perfect baby girl. She was purely Weapon X. Sarah's own DNA had no play into what the child was, not her appearance, not her abilities. She was a birthed clone of Weapon X. In the years to come, Sarah tried to give X-23 as normal a life as she could possibly have, however almost every attempt was batted away. If X-23 tried to hug Sarah, she was ordered to push her away. Emotions would only make X-23 weak. A weapon wasn't weak. Because of this, X-23 has become devoid of true feeling or emotion, however she does possess a hint of empathy.
X-23, being a born child, wasn't growing fast enough in Dr. Sutter's opinion, and at the age of seven, she was exposed to radiation that sped up her mutation. Once her bone claws became evident, they were forcefully made over with adamantium. Rather than giving X-23 a full skeletal 'make over', they kept her adamantium levels at a minimal, thinking this would be more beneficial to handle her. Along with this, Dr. Sutter created something he called 'Trigger Scent', which, once exposed to it, forced X-23 in something of a berserker rage, that was a common sign in the original Weapon X, however this way, Dr. Sutter and the Facility was able to activate and control when and where the rage was activated.
Three years later she was sent on her first mission, and upon successful completion, X-23 was used as a commodity, being sold to the highest bidder, and swiftly became the Facility's best agent. From the point of her mutation came into play, she was subjected to some of the most harsh and intense martial arts training known. Her training was more than a human, even at top atheticism could withstand. She has been trained educationally as well, not for her own good, but to be more of a use to the Facility. She is able to speak many languages, and has the equivalent of a high school education, as far as non-combat knowledge is concerned.
X-23 has no problem with killing people, even without the use of the Trigger scent. She has been nicknamed 'Little Ninja' for her ability to kill quick and brutal, and disappearing without leaving any sort of trace of her having been there. She has no empathy for men or women, though she has a small issue with children, envious of their innocence, though she will still get the job done.
She is skilled in interrogation, both as the interrogator and the interrogated. She has been tortured during mock interrogations, and still has yet to crack under pressure.

She has no empathy for men or women, though she has a small issue with children, envious of their innocence, though she will still get the job done.
She is skilled in interrogation, both as the interrogator and the interrogated. She has been tortured during mock interrogations, and still has yet to crack under pressure.
She was a prisoner. A prisoner in her own body. Chains held fast to her, made of the same adamantium that had been forced into her body. She shuffled her feet forward a few steps, the gray painted cement floor was cold and a touch slippery beneath her feet as she moved. Emerald eyes narrowed on the floor before her. She waited, planned each moment out perfectly.
They wanted her to be perfect, and perfect she would be. The Perfect Weapon. A weapon to destroy them all. The full curve of Laura's mouth lifted, tilted upwards at the corners, a hint of a dimple, and the almost-smile was removed swiftly from her lips. She didn't like to take pleasure in the thought of those she knew all of her years writhing in pain; pain that she created, though the mere thought of creating something so exquisite in them would make her feel as though she was truly alive, a person in her own right.
Each footstep forward created a bit of a delight in her, thought that delight was diminished when she was faced with a lovely specimen of woman. Her skin the color of coffee with cream, her face was beautiful, breasts full and large, stomach tight and toned, as was her long legs. Laura's eyes lifted from the floor, her lips screwing into a small grimace. ”Miss Kimura..” The other woman's full lips parted and smeared into her signature smirk.
”Hello, Copy.. Planning some sort of escape?” The woman closed the distance between them. Kimura's crimson tipped fingers rested against Laura's shoulder, at first it seemed to be a kind touch, though her nails dug into the flesh, until Laura's blood bubbled under the length of them. Laura's frown deepened as she locked her gaze on the woman's own chocolate brown eyes. ”It's truly a shame..” The woman mentioned, passing her fingers down her shoulder, cutting the flesh jaggedly, though her mutation didn't allow for much of a cut to be had, aside from her own claws, and was soon knitting together the flesh that had been creased. Kimura's fingers continued downward, cupping one of Laura's breasts.
Laura released a low growl. Her body was off-limits. Kimura knew that, and yet she dared to press the issue time and time over. Kimura's hand drifted lower on her body, her fingers resting just above Laura's pelvic bone. ”Such a pity that you're off-limits, otherwise..” Kimura snatched her hand away from Laura's body and passed her with a slap to the curve of her backside. The skin on Laura's hand, the knuckle of her index and ring finger, splitting to allow for the passage of razor-alikened claws to rip from their hiding spot within her body.
”Ah-ah, Laura. You don't want her to get you in trouble.” A soft voice rang out. Laura shifted her gaze towards another woman. This one appearing in her mid-thirties, blonde haired and blue eyed. All-American Girl trapped in a bad situation. ”Mother.” Laura uttered the word with as much emotion as she might have uttered the word 'The'. It had no meaning to her, as she was never allowed to claim any sort of attachment with the woman in which she was brought to life from experiment to lifeform. Laura pulled the claws back into her hands, and she frowned lightly.
”Don't let her get to you. Dr. Sutter wouldn't allow for you to have even the bit of freedom you have here.” Sarah Kinney came closer to the child, she had formed a bond with, even if it was just in the womb. She reached out to take Laura's hands, and Laura shied back slightly. ”I'm permitted to unlock the shackles and cuffs.” Sarah whispered in a soft voice. Laura swallowed and placed her hands in the woman's own. Sarah rubbed her thumb against the skin that had been broken only seconds ago, and she offered Laura a smile.
Laura simply looked away. She was in no mood for the woman's attempts to be kind to her. She didn't have time or the desire to learn to be kind and loving in return. The shackles were removed and she was lead into the Mission Planning room. The black yoga pants on her form hugging to her legs like a second skin, just as the black zip-up sports bra hugged her upper form.
Another mission was being planned.. one that included X-23 as the primary weapon being used.
They wanted her to be perfect, and perfect she would be. The Perfect Weapon. A weapon to destroy them all. The full curve of Laura's mouth lifted, tilted upwards at the corners, a hint of a dimple, and the almost-smile was removed swiftly from her lips.
