Canon or Original:
Canon
Mutations:
Teleportation: By displacing himself through the Brimstone dimension and returning to earth at a location of his choice Kurt is able to teleport himself and those whom he is in physical contact with. When teleporting a bit of Brimstone's atmosphere is released with a foul smelling black cloud of smoke being left behind along with the muffled sound of imploding air rushing to fill the void Kurt's presence took up. As well this is a biochemical and biophysical reaction Kurt can mentally activate; and is in no way psionic.
Subconscious spacial awareness: This limited power allows Kurt to teleport where he needs to and to avoid placing part of or all of his body into the ground or walls.
Micro suction discs: These are present on Kurt's feet and hands; and allow him to climb walls and ceilings with ease.
Flexible bone structure: Kurt is able to flex his body in the same ways contortionists can and can hold strenuous poses without risking any damage to himself.
Camouflage: Thanks to Kurt's indigo fur and the light bending properties of the Brimstone dimension Kurt can blend into shadows with ease; and appears to be shadowed in direct light.
Prehensile tail: Kurt is able to control his spade tipped tail completely; showing the ability to use it like a hand and even to support himself completely or lift an adult male with it.
Infrared vision: Due to the fact that Kurt's eyes are constantly glowing the mutant has enhanced night vision compared to a human.
Superhuman agility: Kurt's agility, balance, and coordination are all enhanced past the capabilities of the human body.
Superhuman reflexes: Kurt's reaction time and reflexes are well above those of a normal human's capabilities.
Classification:
Gamma
Equipment:
Image inducer, cell phone/x communicator, fencing foil.
Uniform:
Kurt's uniform is a full black skin tight body suit that reaches from his neckline on down; with a hole for his tail to comfortably fit through. This uniform does have red accents in the form of a stripe along Kurt's shoulders that go down the front of his chest and form into a single stripe that reaches towards his groin. In addition there is an X symbol stamped on the chest of this uniform. As well Kurt wears a pair of white boots and gloves; that each reach mid-calf and half of his forearms respectively; and both have a red fringe along them. The material is able to stretch perfectly for Kurt's movements while withstanding a decent amount of damage in fights.
Skills:
Master acrobat: Kurt is trained to the level of an Olympic athlete; helped with the fact that Kurt's spine is flexible enough to allow contortionist level movements and to retain the odd positions held without injury.
Skilled combatant: Kurt has learned how to fight; in both hand to hand combat and fencing; of which he is a master; and is able to fence using his tail to hold the foil.
Aviator: Kurt has served as the blackbird's pilot numerous times; and has helped Wolverine in its mechanical maintenance.
Medic: When the need calls for it Kurt has proven to be a competent medic to his team and the students.
Weaknesses:
Teleportation: Kurt must be able to see, or have been to the location he wishes to teleport to, retains his momentum when teleporting, and is affected by the earth's magnetic fields. As a result he can teleport two miles in east to west; or vice versa; and three miles from north to south; or vice versa. As well the teleportation does take up a small amount of energy from Kurt and can negatively affect himself and anyone he teleports; to the point where he could grapple someone and then teleport with them to outlast most people in a fight since he has more experience in fighting with the resulting effects of teleporting others. Also doing vertical teleporting jumps can be strenuous for Kurt opposed to jumping and then teleporting forwards. As well Kurt's teleportation always make noise and leaves smoke; so he cannot hide the fact that he teleported somewhere too well; and can easily be detected. As for traveling through the Brimstone dimension; Kurt does not spend enough time in the dimension to even realize it exists; and thusly cannot teleport to it as his final destination. Lastly if Kurt where to teleport into a solid object he could be seriously injured or even killed.
Physical mutant: As Kurt has a physical mutation he cannot hide among crowds too well unless using his image inducer.
Angel's blood: As Kurt's father is a Neyaphem angel's blood which normally heals people will further injure Kurt.
Immunities: Even with his many abilities Kurt is still susceptible to any illness that a human can contract.

Motivation, and Why:
To help others, as well as from the goodness of his heart. As well Kurt is highly religious and as such feels he is supposed to help others.
Loyalty:
X-men
Physical Appearance:
Kurt has a skinny body type and is very light. What weight he has to him is mostly muscle from years of exercise and training. Kurt is usually a bit hunched in his posture; which gives him a bit more of a bestial look. In addition Kurt has a long prehensile tail that has a spade styled tip. His eyes are pure yellow and have a glow about them; which contrasts with his short deep indigo fur and his short indigo colored hair. His teeth are sharp and fang like; yet with proper maintenance have retained a healthy white tone to them. He also has long elf like ears. Finally is Kurt's hands and feet; he has only three fingers including his thumbs; and his feet are longer and only have two toes and all of these have slightly longer nails almost resembling claws.
History:
Kurt was born to Raven Darkholme and Azazel; yet before he had aged enough to remember any of this Raven; who is known formally as the mutant Mystique; threw him into a river since his physical mutation was apparent from birth and an angry mob of people who had learned of his existence went after them. Azazel saved the boy and left him with a sorceress named Margali Szardos; who was living and working with a gypsy circus. There Kurt lived and thrived being raised by the circus folk; and became a performer with the stage name of The Amazing Nightcrawler. While Kurt was never formally adopted he considered the circus his family. In addition Kurt had believed his parents to be dead. Kurt’s best friends were the children of Margali; Stefan and Jimaine being her son and daughter respectively. Even before his teleportation manifested Kurt worked as an acrobat and aerial artist; and his appearance didn’t meet any hatred or fear due to the audiences thought it was simply a costume he wore.
As time went on a Texas millionaire named Arnos Jardine purchased and moved the star acts of the circus to his own American based circus in Florida. At which point he demanded Kurt be placed into a freak show; and drugged him to do so. With the help of another mutant Kurt managed to escape; and fled to Winzeldorf Germany and came across his foster brother Stefan. Once reunited with Stefan Kurt found out that his brother had committed a series of child murders when he went mad; and when Kurt tried to fulfill a promise to stop him if he ever took an innocent life the pair fought and the altercation ended in Stefan’s death. When the citizens of Winzeldorf saw Kurt they assumed him to be behind the slayings of the children and almost killed him; but failed when he was saved by Xavier. Kurt joined the X-men after his being saved; but tried to explain to Margali the cause of Stefan’s death; yet she was not present at the circus Kurt had hoped to find her at. It took some time after this for Margali to learn of the truth and what tension was between the two was resolved at that time. In the course of this time Kurt also was reunited with Jimaine; who moved to the United States and changed her name to Amanda Sefton. For a short while the pair began a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend; yet it would not last.
A number of times Kurt had been separated from the other X-men; one time he was even lost in various dimensions where he had to work alone. But Kurt was able to find a way home to rejoin his team. In one of the following battles Kurt had lost his teleportation ability; and feared it to be lost forever; but he had been rescued by Shadowcat, Colossus, and Magik before he could be killed. Once Kurt’s powers were regained he had joined in a battle that would later be known as the Mutant Massacre. During this battle Kurt was placed into a coma; which he recovered from with time; but during that period it was believed that the X-men were killed. This belief is what brought Kurt to join a team in the United Kingdom; with Shadowcat; by the name of “Excalibur”. This stint in the UK was short lived; as when Kurt learned that the X-men were alive he returned to Xavier’s school to rejoin the team once more.
RP Sample:
Kurt kept his mind clear as he popped into the bedroom of his pretty young teammate; who was sound asleep in the darkness. Thankfully or else she may have heard the small implosion of air that let out a ‘bamf’ sound or smelled the smell of burning brimstone as he slipped into her bathroom with a small bottle of a blue gel like liquid. His glowing yellow eyes made it easy to make his way to Jean’s supply of shampoo and body wash as he kept the lights off. Near silently Kurt poured the blue gel into the bottles and replaced them just where he found them; the dye should work almost instantly after it had time to mix into a uniform solution. Once Kurt’s task was completed he teleported out once more; now arriving in the hallway with a quiet ‘bamf’ Kurt began to walk back to his room whistling an innocent tune.
It took a few hours for the sun to start rising; and by now Jean should have been getting ready for the day. But soon enough Kurt heard a loud pounding on his door; someone had figured the blue prankster to be the culprit already? With a laugh Kurt grabbed a camera from his closet and teleported out into the hallway and quick snapped a picture of Jean before he began teleporting down the hall repeatedly. Soon enough smoke filled the corridor as the sound of yelling and people running could be heard. Kurt knew that even if Jean were upset now she would most likely have a laugh or two later on; after all the dye in her hair and on her skin should fade in a couple washings and they were good friends. And the picture would be a happy memorabilia for her. Yet before he was out of earshot Kurt did call back, “What?! I thought you’d look good in blue Jean!~”
About half an hour later and the search for the blue elf had led outside; yet he was nowhere in sight. The sound of a faint ‘bamf’; the second was a dark cloud of smoke that reeked of burning brimstone; and finally a blue blur of fur jumped out of the corner. Kurt’s feet and one hand came in contact with the wall and he bounded forwards until he made it to the window. Kurt waited silently as he looked out the window at the people outside; while the hand that didn’t touch the wall held a bag securely in his grasp. Now the summer weather had made it so that many of the residents wanted to be outside to enjoy the weather; and that made it more likely that they’d search for him outside; and Kurt was going to take advantage of that. So Kurt looked at the surroundings of the area outside and finally found a tree that would make a good target; and with another small ‘bamf’ he was gone and back in an instant; though now he was in the tree.
Kurt sprung forwards and with a loud laugh reached into the bag he held and threw a few water balloons down at his team mate Cyclopes; if any of them were to actually hit would be another matter. Once his ‘ammo’ was depleted Kurt did a little summersault in the air and landed on all fours as he began to bound off towards the school once more; his tail swaying behind him as he occasionally looked over his shoulder to see if he were being followed. “Sorry Scott!~ Couldn’t resist!”

Note
The rp sample is something that could have been a minor thing years before the current site time; and has approval for me to enact something harmless on Jean and Scott from their players.
As well I didn't mention events that happened in the "Excalibur arc" since it is another comic set not directly pertaining to the "X-men" set. As well if we get a Shadowcat and she requests that the bit with her is taken out I will oblige.
