' A b i l i t i e s
• Power [/color] | Superhuman regeneration, enhanced senses and adumantium coated claws (two on each hand, one from each foot)
• weapons [/color] | Trained as a human weapon and assassin from birth, Laura was deadly even before her training at Xaviers where she leared even more hand to hand combat with her genetic progenitor Wolverine and how to use her claws in even newer deadlier ways. She can kill you in around 27 ways just by standing in front of someone, and if she is equpt with any sort of weaponary the number increases dramatically. S.H.I.E.L.D often equip Laura with guns, even though her claws do most of the work.
• Overall Abilities[/color] | X-23 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. Despite the extent of her healing factor, X-23 is not immortal. Injuries that result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form are potentially lethal for her. X-23's natural healing also affords her virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases and the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity. Hence, her endurance, agility and reflexes are enhanced. X-23 also possesses superhumanly acute senses, allowing her to see and hear things at an extended distance. She is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden, and can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success.
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. The claws are naturally sharp, tougher than normal human bone and have been coated with Adamantium, allowing X-23 to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials. Presumably, because X-23 is a clone of the mutant Wolverine, her healing factor will also provide her with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process.)

• Height [/color] | 5'2''
• weight [/color] | 120 lbs
• Hair color & Style [/color] | Brown, long and wavy
• eye color [/color] | Brown
• Overall Appearance[/color] | Laura opts for a 'tomboy'-ish look with jeans, a vest and military boots claiming that its more practical, which for an ex assassin would technically be true. Her hair although always brushed and washed, is very rarely styled in any way, usually it is left to hang in waves or is she's training she sometimes ties it up... because getting her hair ripped out wouldn't injure her but it would still hurt like a bitch.
Laura carries herself with self assurance not exactly confidence but a more “i have seen that before” sort of attitude, like nothing phases her. However if you bumped into her she is one of those people who would stare at you until you moved out of her way.
Her S.H.I.E.L.D uniform consists of closely woven black pants, boots with a claw hole on each tip, and a black wife beater i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww23/DeltaJade/uniform1.jpg

• Favorite Color [/color] | Black. Simple and deadly.
• Likes [/color] |
• Dislikes [/color] |
• fears [/color] | To be captured and used by New Order, this to happen to her daughter, for mutant kind to be wiped out.
• Goals/ dreams[/color] | For her and the people she cares about to be free.
• Overall Personality[/color] | Over time Laura began to develop the personality she was severely lacking in being brought up as a weapon, however the early mental development that every child needs and what Laura was deprived of is still very noticeable in the way she acts. She often prefers her own company, knowing that others can hurt her or let her down, but she has opened up to people she has known well such as her daughters father, and even her daughter. This can be an asset however because she doest rely on anyone to give her anything, if she wants or needs anything she will go out and get it herself. She can often find herself alone because of her dedication to completing tasks, conditioning from her youth.
Laura tries her hardest to give Ace a childhood that she can look back on fondly. She is sometimes awkward in social situations because she forgets how to reciprocate feelings causing her to be blunt or sarcastic. She can however have a good laugh and does try her best around people.

• Overall history[/color] | A top-secret program attempted to recreate the original Weapon X aka Wolverine, they failed to secure a test subject that could survive the bonding of the virtually unbreakable metal Adamantium to their skeleton Doctor Martin Sutter recruited renowned mutant geneticist Doctor Sarah Kinney and tasked her with creating a clone. Using the only available genetic sample from Weapon X, which was damaged, they were unable to salvage the Y chromosome after 22 attempts. Kinney then proposed they create a female clone, and though her request was initially denied, she still went ahead and produced a viable female subject, prompting Sutter to reconsider. Despite resistance from his protégé Doctor Zander Rice, whom he had raised after Rice's father was killed by a bestial Wolverine at the original Weapon X Project, Sutter allowed Kinney to proceed. As revenge for her insubordination, Rice forced Kinney to act as the surrogate mother for the clone, and she gave birth to "X-23."
Raised in captivity, X-23 was trained to be a weapon. Kinney did her best to ensure the child retained some semblance of humanity, but her efforts appeared to be in vain. After seven years, Rice had X-23 subjected to radiation poisoning in order to accelerate the activation of her mutant gene, then forcibly extracted her claws and coated them with Adamantium. Next, Rice created a chemical compound he called "trigger scent" that sent X-23 into an involuntary berserker rage upon smelling its presence. Three years later, X-23 was sent on her first field mission to kill Presidential candidate Greg Johnson. Numerous other missions followed, as X-23's services were sold to the highest bidder, and she was left emotionally stunted as a result. Rice, in an attempt to avenge his father's murder, abandoned X-23 on a particularly dangerous mission, but she survived against overwhelming odds and managed to return to the facility.
Ultimately, Rice persuaded Sutter to hand over control of the program to him, then secretly ordered X-23 to kill Sutter and his family. Later, Rice revealed to Kinney a chamber with dozens of incubation pods containing female clones before he fired her. Before fleeing the facility with X-23, Kinney gave her one last mission - destroy the pods and kill Rice. However, Rice was able to exact revenge on Kinney from beyond the grave, as he had earlier exposed her to the trigger scent, sending X-23 into a rage that caused her to kill her mother. As she lay dying, Kinney named X-23 Laura.
X-23 surfaced in New York two years later and was found living on the streets by a pimp named Zebra Daddy, who took her in and employed her as a prostitute. During her time as a prostitute, X-23 seemed to suffer from a self-mutilating disorder. She superficially cut herself with her own claws whenever she was in a threatening situation. She also seemed to suffer some personality issues which left her mostly mute and unable to free herself from the grip of Zebra Daddy. X-23 started to come to her senses after she met Kiden Nixon a young mutant with the ability to freeze time when in danger, and together with Kiden's teacher, they rescued another young mutant, the feral Catiana, from an angry mob. Zebra Daddy tracked X-23 down, but with the aid of her newfound friends and the mutant named Felon, Zebra Daddy's thugs were defeated. X-23 then killed him to save the lives of her friends. X-23 later took a job at the mutant-themed Wannabee's nightclub in the Mutant town district of New York. It was there that she saved the life of the daughter of mob boss Don Parisi from a gang of thugs, whom she killed. The deaths inadvertently implicated Wolverine, prompting his teammates in the X-Men to investigate. X-23 instinctually attacked Wolverine on sight, but he was eventually able to calm her down, and she led the X-Men to Parisi's daughter. After aiding the X-Men against Parisi's super-strong mutant enforcer Geech, X-23 fled the scene. She later returned to help the X-Men save victims of a car accident, after which she was enrolled at the X-Men's Xavier institute.
X-23 quickly became very protective of Wolverine, attacking his teammate Bishop after he felled Wolverine during a training session. She also took to observing Wolverine on the mansion's security monitors. X-23 then secretly followed Wolverine on his investigation of strange activity in the Canadian Rockies. Ambushed by the Hauk'ka, evolved Saurians from the Savage Land, X-23 managed to escape and alert the X-Men. Traveling to the Savage Land, X-23 and the X-Men teamed with the Land's lord Ka- Zar and his circumstantial allies, the Savage Land Mutates, to prevent the Hauk'ka from destroying human civilization by controlling the weather-manipulating X-Man Storm.
Sometime later, she was accused of the murders of four humans that were investigated by Wolverine and his fellow X-Men. (While she was responsible for the murders, she committed them because the victims were brutally attacking a young woman.) After a brief conflict with the mutant heroes, X-23 came to live with them at the Xavier Institute. She had nearly no social skills, so Wolverine tried to help her adjust to her new life. And slowly but surely she did, making friends at the institute and even began a relationship with Jay Guthrie (Icarus)in her mid 20's.
Laura and Jay had grown close after all the numerous missions they went on together, and the constant feeling of guilt they both harbored. When Laura was 30 she fell pregnant with Jay's child, at the beginning she was very apprehensive but when Aislin arrived on Christmas eve, Laura knew that it was the best thing she had ever done. With their newborn they moved to live with Jays parents and were a happy little family for a few years. When Ace was five Laura accidentally and brutally killed an intruder in front of her daughter, a memory she hopes Ace will never remember. Deeming herself to be too dangerous to be around her family she began to leave for small periods of time, before this fear Laura had eventually broke the relationship between her and Jay and she left for good.
Laura moved back to New York, to the institute, becoming an X-man once more. She arranged with Jay to have her over the summer, spending 3 months out of the year with her. Aislin being an inquisitive child asked a lot of questions about her mother, to which Laura always told her the full truth, knowing that if she didn't someone else would. The two began training when Ace showed an interest, Laura wanting her child to know at least how to defend herself bout a car and they traveled through the country and trained on different terrain, with a few sights in between.
She watched the numbers of X-Men dwindle as the new strain of legacy virus hit home hard, a lot of first generation mutants succumbed and there came a time where there just weren't enough team members, so they disbanded, but had regular get togethers at the mansion. When New Order raided the mansion, Laura was glad her daughter was not there, she was still living with her father at the time. Laura had to fight her way through many a New Order soldier, watching friends and comrades fall around her she got outside to hold back the tide, to give the kids a chance to escape. While outside she witnessed Lorna and Piotrs daughter Liliya get hit by a localised tactical nuke, knowing that leaving the girl unconscious would certainly mean her death Laura threw the girl over her shoulder (thankful she wasn't in steel form while passed out) and sliced her way to some nearby forestry.
Left behind with the Rasputin girl, they decided to stay based at the X-Mansion, as some young and troubled mutants trying to escape the danger zone may still think there was help there. With the aid of S.H.I.E.L.D Laura and Lily are making sure mutants in the New York area escape to the Resistance.

Her breathing was almost a pant, nostrils flaring with each expulsion of hot breath. The pain was something to focus on, it let her feel something. She didn't even remember if she knew how to feel anything but pain. Pain and anger.
She didn't feel connected to anyone here, so even the basic concept of affection or companionship was lost on the young woman. Fear, now that was a tricky one, if she did indeed know how to feel it it was quickly metabolized into rage. Loss... had she lost anything? Guilt? When she tried to think about it all she got was a blank, numb feeling. She knew that these feelings existed but she had no idea how to feel them.
And the pain blocked out that numbness so exquisitely it was almost pleasurable, it got her heart to race, she felt relieved as the now congealing blood thickly dripped onto the carpet. After watching her body knit together the injuries she had caused for a long moment, she closed her eyes at let the sharp screams of the nerve endings take over her completely. She knew he was there though, she couldn't block out the way he smelled. Death and cooked flesh.
Her eyelids shot open and she stared him down, letting the now healed and uninteresting arm drop to her side. As he spoke she cocked her her head to the side animalistcally with a loud crunch, as if she was trying to work something out. “i don't give a rats ass what you appreciate” She stated bluntly before walking over to him.
The small woman stopped dead in front of him, and as a response to the threat of his sparking hand she brought her fist up to her shoulder, “Do you ant me to roll over too, Sparky?” She added harshly as the two metallic claws extended from between her knuckles slowly, more blood oozing from her as the skin was sliced in two.
