Kurt Wagner | Marvel 616

[suchmiracles]

Character Name: Kurt Wagner
Age: 40
Employment in Deerington: Currently a bartender/event organiser/do-er of things in the basement bar at Pixie's Booze and Moves, also part-time softball coach
Residence in Deerington: In a cabin by Lake Tomie with wwrench, howlett, speed_of_snark & dividingline, it's dangerously wholesome
Day to Day Activities: When he's not working at the bar or chasing (or being chased by) monsters, Kurt can usually be found doing any of the following:

▶ Keeping up his exercise routine in the forest, in the very early AM -- this consists mostly of working through various gymnastic routines in the trees, sword drills, basic callisthenics etc.
▶ Helping out with whatever he can at the church.
▶ Browsing for new books, in the thrift shop looking for clothes (which somehow keep ending up looking like this), or making an enjoyable nuisance of himself at Manes on Main.
▶ Patrolling across various rooftops.
▶ Hanging out around the lake and the cabin.

He also hosts karaoke night at Pixie's on the last Friday of every month & the Sleeper Support Group on the second Tuesday of every month (more details for both can be found here), plus softball practice on Saturdays (when the town isn't on fire), so you can expect to find him at these activities unless he's otherwise engaged with Deerington's usual foibles. Please do feel free to use any of these events as starters for your own CR!

About This Character: Kurt is unexpected in a whole heap of ways. He looks like a spooky demon but he's really just a charming cuddly goofball who loves to make jokes and have fun. For a while he was studying to become a priest, though that may or may not have been an illusion implanted in his mind (rule #1 of dealing with a Marvel comics character: just.. try not to think about it too hard). He's still holding on to his Catholic faith, but these days it's more defined by an ongoing belief in larger forces than being too tied to doctrine. Good Catholic boys don't tend to fall in love with murderers, after all.

These days his antics are a little more toned down, but he's still a charmer. He's also dealing with having fairly recently come back from the dead in canon (long story short: he was killed in battle and went to Heaven, but was kind of miserable there without his friends, then there was a fight with his demon father on a flying ship, blah blah, he was resurrected but may not have a soul now), but it's cool. Ish. Mostly.

He's also got the added Deerington exclusive trauma of not being able to teleport (his main mutant ability) without it literally tearing his fuzzy little body to pieces. Not that he usually tells anyone that until he has to.

Any Warnings: Kurt's past includes a lot of violence and a decent amount of child neglect and abuse, though I will try as much as I can to warn for these things if they're going to come up. He has had a fairly happy life in canon but it hasn't been easy (thanks, superhero comics!), so he might also dwell on his own or other deaths, injuries, possessions by weird ghouls and aliens, etc. He's also an adult in a number of relationships, so some threads may drift into sexual/nsfw territory, but again any content of this kind will carry warnings.

Kurt is a (semi) practising Catholic so scenes with him may also include references to that religion/religious themes in general, though not often heavily. Please let me know if you would rather I avoid any of this!

Present Life: As time goes on, Kurt's becoming more settled and (knock on wood) happy in Deerington, though not without a few bumps in the road. He experienced his first death at the end of October last year and that was gnarly enough to not bear repeating, so he's definitely becoming more aware of the potential cost of remaining in the dream as well as the good things it has brought and continues to bring into his life. Coming to terms with the fact that he might not actually want to wake up (and that they might not have a choice in the matter) is an ongoing thread running through a lot of his time at the moment.

Future Ideas: Everything is going kind of (fingers crossed) OK at the moment for Kurt. Between his job, his work in the community and his home life, he's got some stability going. The spring has been tough and it would be great if the people he cares about would just, you know, stop dying for a little while, but at the moment he's doing all right.

Recently he has had his own faith tested somewhat and with the reappearance of Mother Superior I'm interested in digging into a bit more of that, as well as his ongoing conflict between what he wants and his responsibilities to the people of Deerington.

CR You Want:

▶ Friends! Kurt is a people person, please give him more people. Especially friends around his own age to hang out with, kids he can mentor, non-humans and mutants he can share solidarity with, etc.
▶ Since he's working at Pixie's, I'd also love to explore who he might be meeting there, or just seeing on the regular -- who is coming to open mic night? Who might just be hanging out there to enjoy the tunes? Who turns up every week looking for new records? Bring me your music lovers, your booze hounds, your karaoke veterans yearning to play one more Dolly Parton number.
▶ Religious buddies. Kurt hasn't had much chance to really explore this side of himself in Deerington (yet), but I'd like to start exploring that -- what does it mean for his faith, long term, to be in a place like this?
▶ Newbies to the concept of mutants are always fun to throw at Kurt, especially if they come from a canon where people generally look human.

CR You Don't Want: I'm definitely not adverse to flirting/cuddling/smooching with the fuzzy dude, but his romantic dance card is pretty full right now.
