PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Height 5'9"
Weight 161 lbs
Eyes Shining yellow, no visible pupils
Hair Indigo
Other distinguishing features Nightcrawler has only 3 fingers (including an opposable thumb) on each hand, and only 2 toes, each longer than an ordinary human's, on each foot. Nightcrawler also has a prehensile tail about 3 1/2 feet long, which can carry his own weight. His body is almost entirely covered with fine indigo-colored fur, making him so dark that he seems to blend into deep shadows. (Contrary to appearances, he does not literally turn invisible in deep shadow.) Nightcrawler also has pointed ears and pronounced fang-like canine teeth. His spine is more flexible than an ordinary human being's, allowing him to spend much of his time in a semi-crouching position without damaging his posture and enables him to perform contortionist-like feats.
POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
Multi-Attack Though Kurt is not too strong, he can often make up for that in a physical attack by speed. If Kurt starts out a Phase in the same space as an opponent and does nothing else but attack during the Phase, he can "bamf" and strike continuously at the character during that Phase. This gives Kurt the equivalent of four attacks per Phase while letting him Dodge and attack at the same time. He can only perform this maneuver once every four Phases. The AV for this attack is his Dex of 9, and the EV is equal to his APs of Teleportation 4 APs
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Kurt is a dichotomy of a serious philosopher and a happy-go-lucky adventurer. He often acts before thinking things through, preferring to imagine himself as an Errol Flynn-like hero. He is dedicated to his Catholic faith, believing it gives him strength, while fully understanding the irony of a Catholic who looks like the Devil. He has become comfortable with himself, hardly ever using the image inducer created for him to disguise his appearance.

Exusiai's Notes Nightcrawler is by and far one of my favorite characters. Who doesn't love the fuzzy blue elf?
