Laura Kinney- X-23 DONE

She can't recall what it was like to feel
She says, 'This room's gonna be my grave
And there is no one who can save me.'

Is there no one I can pay to let me go
'Cause I'm half sick of shadows
I wanna see the sky
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
So why can't I
And it's raining
And the stars are falling from the sky
And the wind
And the wind I know it's cold
I've been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And it's here
And it's here for I've been told
That I'll die before I'm old
And the wind I know it's cold...

• Personality: Laura is cold and calculating, never trusting anyone easily and always willing to kill or let die anybody on earth (including herself) for the sake of the mission. Laura is completely apathetic to pain, death, blood or horror. Laura has deeply rooted self-hatred and a death wish, with a tendency to self-harm when confused upset or frightened to deal with her emotions.
  
• Likes: Her mother, fighting, succeeding in missions, silence
  
• Dislikes: almost all people, crowds, strangers paying attention to her, fear, pain.
  
• Appearance: Laura is a small girl, thin and shorter then average with pale skin. She has black hair that reaches half way down her back and green eyes. Laura’s movements are graceful but on edge, constantly holding herself as if expecting to launch into battle.
  
• Distinguishing Features: Two retractable metal claws in each hand and one in each foot.
  
• Equipiment: Locket: the only personal item she owns, a small necklace with a photograph of her and her mother inside of it that Laura never takes off.

Cracked into a million bits
And she cried out, 'So the story fit
But then I could have guessed it all along
'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me.'
She went down to her little boat
And she broke the chains and began to float away
And as the blood froze in her veins she said,
'Well then that explains a thing or two
'Cause I know I'm the cursed one
I know I'm meant to die
Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie
So why can't I

And it's raining
And the stars are falling from the sky
And the wind
And the wind I know it's cold
I've been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And it's here
And it's here
It's finally here

• Powers: Regenerative Healing Factor: Like Wolverine, X-23's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing factor that enables her to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. She is capable of fully healing injuries resulting in massive tissue damage and blood loss such as multiple bullet wounds, slash wounds, and puncture wounds within a matter of minutes. Her healing factor is developed to such a degree, she is capable of reattaching severed limbs, such as a hand.
  Superhumanly Acute Senses: X-23 possesses superhumanly acute senses that are comparable to those of certain animals. She is capable of seeing at much greater distances, and with perfect clarity, than an ordinary human. She retains this same level of clarity in near-total darkness. Her sense of hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, allowing her to both hear sounds that ordinary human's can't and to hear sounds that ordinary humans can, but at much greater distances. X-23 is able to use her highly developed sense of smell to track targets by scent with an impressive degree of success, even if the scent has been eroded by natural factors, such as the weather.
  Claws: X-23's skeleton includes two retractable bone claws in each arm and one in each foot that she can extend and retract at will. These claws are housed beneath the skin and muscle. Unsheathing them causes her skin to tear and bleed, but the wounds are quickly dealt with by her healing factor. X-23 can unsheathe any number of these claws at once, although she must keep her wrists and/or feet straight at the moment the claws emerge. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than normal human bone, allowing X-23 to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials. X-23's claws have been coated with the nigh-indestructible metal Adamantium. As a result, her claws are virtually unbreakable and are capable of cutting almost any substance, with the exceptions of Adamantium itself. Her ability to slice completely through a substance depends upon the amount of force she can exert and the thickness of the substance. Also, since the bones of her hands and wrists are not laced with Adamantium, it is likely that the reverberation of her claws could conceivably break her hands with significant force. Unlike Wolverine, the presence of Adamantium in her body is not sufficient enough to interfere with her bones' normal function of generating blood corpuscles, although it is as likely that some degree of her immune system is distracted by the presence of the foreign substance.
  
  
• Weaknesses: Laura’s senses are increased to the point that she can be hurt or incapacitated by sounds or smells that would only bother other people.
  The adamantium in her claws is poisonous. However her healing factor is able to deal with this. But the fact remains that if anything causes her healing factor to stop working, Laura will become severely ill and eventually die.
  Laura has terrible social skills, to the point of barely being able to relate to others.
  
  
• Skills: Expert Covert Ops Training: Due to her extensive training as a top-secret operative, X-23 has been trained to become a living weapon. She is highly trained in the use of long range weapons and explosives, and is an expert in assassination techniques.
  Expert Tracker: Due to her enhanced sense of smell, Laura is a dangerous tracker and has memorized many different scents.
  Master Martial Artist: She is an excellent hand to hand combatant, with intensive training in numerous armed and unarmed martial arts techniques.
  Multilingual: Laura can speak fluent American English and French.
  
  
• History: 16 years ago, the human high council were approached by Dr. Rice and Dr. Kinney, two human biologists who believed that they could clone a mutant to raise as a soldier against Apocalypse. Due to the resources, time, effort and man power that would have to be used to accomplish this, it was decided that only one mutant would be cloned. And after much deliberation, they decided that the most efficient mutant they had samples of was Logan, a mutant that was a powerful member of the X-men.
  However eventually, after 22 failures, Dr. Kinney found the sample was damaged to the point that the only way the project would succeed was if the clone was female. Something that Dr. Rice grudgingly accepted. Due to the lack of man power available to the program, it was Dr. Kinney herself who had to carry the clone, and when she was born, realised that she wanted to try and love the newly named “X-23”. Unlike in other universes, here her higher ups were not aiming to find profit, and instead wanted a loyal soldier. To this end, while X-23 was taught to fight almost as soon as she could walk, Dr. Kinney was allowed to treat the child as a daughter and to name her “Laura” the idea being that they would make the weapon see human kind as kind and worth dying for.
  When Laura was seven, Dr. Rice demanded that she was bathed in radiation in order to accelerate the development of her mutation, and despite the tearful protests of her Mother, it was carried out, causing her powers to activate in time to save her life. Weeks after, the Adamantium bonding process was carried out.
  Since she was twelve, Laura has been travelling around the world to assassinate and murder any threats the High council have ordered her to, and has witnessed enough of Apocalypses rulings to want to fight him, and if she had a any choice in the matter she would do so of her own free will.

And it's raining
And the stars are falling from the sky
And the wind
And the wind I know it's cold
I've been waiting
For the day I will surely die
And it's here
And it's here for I've been told
That I'll die before I'm old
And the wind I know it's cold...

• Your name: Will.
  
• Years of experience Roleplaying: about two.
  
• Where did you find the Reign of Apocalypse?: ad on the “Marvel-DC rise and fall.” Board
  
• Name of Song you choose: “Shalott” by Emilie Autumn
  
• Roleplaying Sample: Laura sat in the corner of her “room” in London. The room was a blank cell with no features but the door her mother occasionally entered so that they could spend time together. She did it about three times a day when Laura was not on a mission. She would usually cry a lot. Laura never knew why, especially when she had asked her Mother “am I doing something to hurt you?”
  The only answer she got was “no. I’m hurting you.”
  This made even less sense. Mother never hurt her. She was one of the only people who had never hurt her. Laura had told her so, and then Mother started to cry even more. She was very different to Laura, and sometimes she annoyed her through constant worrying, but Laura loved her dearly. Love. It had been an odd word to learn, having heard it from two mutants, a man and woman, who had toasted Apocalypse with wine Laura had poisoned. But once she had learned its meaning, Laura found it a word she liked. She had only ever used it twice, once to her mother and the other to her Sensei, the old kind man who tought her to fight. But she liked the word.
  The door opened and a file was handed to her, inside was a list of people she had to get on a plane to find and kill. She had never used the word out loud, but moments like this were the only other thing she could think of using that word for.
  X-23 smiled and walked out of the room towards the hanger bay.
