“My X-Men, the President of the United States himself has approached me to form a sort of alliance with the government, a partnership if you will, where we will be called upon when those without the abilities we can offer them cannot achieve the desired result. At first, there was a list of terms given to me, to us, orders, if you will, of which I was quick to point out to the Department of Defense that the X-Men answer to no one now, nor will they ever answer to anyone in the future. My refusal to follow those terms was met with something I have not seen towards mutant kind in a very long time… understanding, compassion, an outright asking me what our terms would be, the first of which they were not the least bit surprised with, ‘Only if the majority of my X-Men agree this could be a step towards all of us living side by side in peace will I even consider your proposal’. This is why I am coming to you now. I am asking you all to consider what this could mean for our future, for the future of all mutant kind…”

Times are changing, the canine attack has brought mutants into an entirely new light. The above proposal is for all mutants living in the US… will YOU keep an open mind and possibly eventually agree to become a member of Agency X?

Play-By: Jensen Ackles

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Character Name: David North

Nickname/s: An alias Christophe Nord (original name)

Current Codename: Maverick

Previous Codename: N/A

Age: 34 (actual), 26 (looks)

Height: 6' 2"

Appearance: Maverick is a tall, well built man. He has the face of a soldier and the scars to prove it. He is never slouching and his clothes style changes depending on what he is doing. He looks like he is going to pick a fight with someone.

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Blue

Relatives:
    Alain Nord (Father, Deceased)
    Jeanne Nord (Mother, Deceased)
    Andreas Nord (Brother, Deceased)
    Ginetta Lucia Barsalini (Wife, Deceased)
Current Occupation: Soldier for hire as bodyguard or assassin.

STUDENT INSTITUTE INFORMATION

School Attending: N/A

Advisor/Advisees: N/A

Squad Group: N/A

Room Number: N/A

Classes Taught: N/A

Curriculum: N/A

Non-Curriculum: He is a trained combatant and an expert marksman. He prefers sidearms to larger weapons. He is an expert in covert operations and demolitions. He also has vast experience with computers and communications equipment.

Education: Volkspolizei Academy (East German police force), Weapon X training programs

Resources: He has underground contacts that supply him with weapons and information. His money comes from odd jobs and what he had on him when he left Weapon X.

X-GENE MUTATION

Kinetic Absorption: Nord's primary mutant power was the ability to absorb the energy caused by a kinetic impact. While this power did have limits, Nord could survive a 10 story fall, powerful blasts of energy, and being struck with superhuman force without being injured.
Control: Passive
Weaknesses:He has to be hit in order to take up enough kinetic.

Regenerative Healing Factor: Upon joining the Weapon X Program, Nord was artificially granted a slight healing factor by the program similar to the ones possessed by Wolverine and Sabretooth, though far inferior to theirs. As a result, he could fully heal from mild to moderate injuries faster and more extensively than a normal human. This healing factor also made him highly resistant, if not immune, to most diseases and toxins. It also greatly suppressed Nord's natural aging process, causing him to age much slower..
Control: None; It is like the bodies immune system. It works on its own.
Weaknesses: Only thing that could stop it would be something akin to the Legacy Virus.

Kinetic Absorption and Energy Control: After some experiment at Weapon X, Nord's kinetic absorption power mutated to greater limits and the energy he absorbed had to be channeled into powerful blasts of concussive force or heat. He could also purposely channel the energy to increase the force of his physical blows. After absorbing his peak level of energy, Nord's punches and kicks were 10 times stronger than normal. It isn't known if Nord could channel the energy for the purpose of lifting great amounts of weight.
Control: Complete control
Weaknesses: Has to wait for a certain amount of Kinetic build-up.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

Personality: Maverick is a person that is just irritated all the time. He does not like to talk about casual things because it is not important to him. If someone does not have something meaningful to say, then he ignores them. Maverick only considers the following things important: missions, food, and what's happening in the world.

Maverick has a soldier's mind. He is always thinking three steps ahead. He is used to being around trained warriors, and can't stand it when novices are involved on an operation. He has the tendency to yell at them and make them feel bad.

Maverick has some good qualities such as being helpful. He helps anyone who is in trouble. The only problem is that his help is not always wanted by the victims and usually has a cost to it. Maverick sometimes goes overboard and does not use restraint when dealing with petty criminals and occasionally puts them in the hospital. He is also a little over-protective of the young mutants that are being hunted down and experimented on. Maverick sees it as his personal responsibility to stop all of that.

Skills: Maverick is an expert marksman. He can pretty much shoot any weapon and hit his target. He uses this skill more than his actual mutant powers. He is also an excellent tracker of mutants. Maverick was trained to track feral mutants, or mutants with animalistic mutations.

Demeanor: Calm, forceful, cold

Nature: Dangerous

Current Affiliation: X-Men on occasion

Previous Affiliation: Weapon X

History

Maverick was born as Christophe Nord in Switzerland. His father, Alain Nord was an agent of the Socialist Party of Germany. When Christophe was six years old, his mother had tried to leave his father and was executed for suspicion of being traitorous. Christophe had been told that she was on an educational sabbatical. At seventeen, Christophe enrolled in the police academy. With his natural born talent, he quickly became a special agent of the secret police. During his time there, His powers emerged and he learned about his mother's demise. Christophe quickly left Germany and made his way out of Europe. His father killed himself shortly after Christophe's departure.

Christophe was brought out of Europe by a man named William Stryker. He was a colonel in charge of a unit called Team X. This is where Christophe became David North. Under the careful supervision of Stryker, North was able to become a better operative. North was put on a team of mutants. This included Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Wraith. He was apart of several operations to stop other nations from gaining advantages in technology and intelligence. First, Logan left the team after a mission where human life was completely disregarded. Maverick was not directly apart of the whole tricking Wolverine affair. He was busy tracking down other mutants at the time. Maverick stayed with the group for a few more years until a big political scandal. The team went underground after some political investigations. All of the mutant operatives were put through some psionic conditioning to be left as sleeper agents that could be reactivated when need be. North was also changed into a weapon capable of tracking and subduing Sabertooth and Wolverine.

David North awoke in New York City. The only things that he remembered were his name and the fact that he was a mutant that was once a tracker of mutants.. North traveled around the city trying to find someone who knew him. When he couldn't find anyone, North went underground and started searching for answers to his past. He eventually made his way to some old army barracks. He had seen them in one of his flashbacks. He found a letter there that was post marked Switzerland. North didn't make much of it at the time since the name on the letter was Christophe Nord, but he kept it just the same.

North traveled all across the country and became a vigilante along the way. He stopped crimes using his powers and the combat skills that were trained into him. He started to look through army records to see if there was something there, but it was all gone. North went to Europe about the time that the cure was happening. He felt some strange force drawing him back to Switzerland. He went there and found out his real name was Christophe Nord. North spoke to some people and learned what happened to him before he left Europe. He left with some memories of who he was.

North started to look into the Weapon X project and was able to find one of their old bases. He collected files on a lot of the missions and the members of Weapon X. He sought out Logan first in order to make amends for what happened to him. North gave Logan files about himself and the project. After doing that, North killed the doctor who had changed them. North left and contemplated the plan of tracking down and stopping Omega Red that he had discussed with Logan. He decided that it was not worth the risk, since it was probably a trick that he had seen the doctor he had just killed do. He contacted Deadpool and Wraith of what happened and tried to find Creed with no luck.

North continued to track down old Weapon X associates and trying to find out more about what really happened with the Omega Red mission. His memories were coming back to him, but not fast enough. Maverick took a break from his quest and went to the Xavier Institute. During the canine outbreak, North fought alongside the rest of the mutants to stop the imminent threat. He returned to the institute to help with the repairing of the damages. He was there during the Blade Girl kidnapping and helped to track down the culprit. He left the scene after putting an adamantium bullet in the guy's head. North was offered a job to help with the rescue of captured mutants, but turned it down because of a lack of information. North went off and did his own research and gathered his own supplies to return and help them out for free.

SAMPLE ROLE PLAY

Maverick was running through the alleys of New York. He had been sent there to find a mutant kid that was running amok. He had been ambushed by some soldiers looking to take him to some government facility. Maverick had fought them off, but had been stunned in the process. He was on the run trying to get help.

Maverick made it to a bar and started to call home from a pay phone when the door blew open. "Freeze mutant." Maverick ripped the phone out of the wall and threw it at them. Maverick charged his fist full of energy and punched one of the guys in the stomach. The guy flew back into the rest of his team. He then ran to the back of the bar and ran out the door. He was chased down an alley that had no exit. "No where left to run, you freak."

Maverick pulled out a flash-bang grenade that he had on him. "And no more innocent people around. Time to play," Maverick replied. He pulled the pin and threw it into the middle of them. Maverick covered his eyes and heard the men yelling. He turned back to see them covering there eyes with one hand while reaching out for him with the other. From the roof and the windows of the surrounding buildings, gunfire and destruction could be heard. An hour later Maverick was walking up the sidewalk to a house completely covered in blood and sweat. He rang the doorbell and a man answered. "Hello, my name is Mr. North. I am here to talk to your daughter about attending the school I represent. May I come in," Maverick said while trying to play it cool. "Uh, sure," the other man replied. Maverick entered the house and the door closed.

Hey there Stick,

First of all, welcome to Mana4X2, glad ya have decided to join us Yes.gif. Second, an overall great start to Maverick’s bio, there are just a few things that need to be clarified with you…

Have you read the earlier history in Logan’s bio? If not, you can find it here: http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=743. Reason that really should be done is because you will notice bits were kept from Origins in full, or changed. It is up to you if Maverick was there during some of the obvious parts mentioned in there EG: The informing of Logan about ‘someone’ killing off members of the team;; in other words, the trying to trick him, etc. The only thing that was changed is the fact Silverfox was in on it, because that connection doesn’t fit into this universe, nor does the fact she was Emma’s sister.

After you have read Logan’s history if you have ANY questions regarding the above please don’t hesitate to ask, we’d be glad to help you out.

There again too, even though there is no bio in the Back Up 4 Grabs section, Maverick has been in the site before. Here are the links to the threads in order of appearance. A couple have been deleted due to the future side plot they were setting up for having to be scrapped. These will help you to get a better idea of who he’s already interacted with, etc. It IS up to you how friendly he is with Logan now though, keeping in mind the Wolverine here is still trying to recall exactly why he knows he knew this guy. His previous player had it that Maverick and Logan were actually friends, not the enemies seen in Origins, which is how I've been playing Logan until now... understanding that they were once good mates on the same team, just not really remembering the specific details just yet.
    1) http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=2387 - general interaction, with Nord really wanting to put a bullet in Spoor's face, hence why he does not hesitate to help out later on *points to link after the next one*.

    2) http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=2519 - the first meeting with Logan in a VERY long time, also features the side plot his previous player was setting up, but has since had to be scrapped. As an explanation as to why it wasn't followed up could be that what he thought was truth was actually a ruse to try and trick him into doing something (feel free to come up with exactly what that something is), and, fortunately, Maverick found this out before anything untoward happened.

    3) http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=2459 - Maverick’s assistance during the kidnapping of one of the X-Men own, one of Logan’s closest friends, as per this universe, lol.

    4) http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=2662 - again, previous player established that Maverick distrusts women, and if you wish to keep this facet of his personality, you may come up with the reason why yourself. If not, then it can be explained away as simply the general distrust of people he doesn't know.

    5) http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=2754 - this also features said sideplot, but will show you yet another interaction with an old Team X squad mate.

    &

    6) Lastly, http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index....opic=2949&st=30, Maverick’s part in Part 2 of the current Site Wide Plot… he was temped as turning down the offer to help, but again, for instant interaction and a place to join in the game, feel free to have him return when the tags are open for him to do so in Part 3. If you decide to do just that, we’ll be sure to let you know when it’s the right time to post. Oh, the link will take you to the first post where Maverick appeared, often he was posted along with Deadpool under DP’s account ^^.
I think that is all of them. If not I will send you any links later on. I do hope this doesn’t turn ya off wanting to play him now, lol. As aforementioned, will be happy to help you bring this bio up to speed for Maverick any way I can. Oh, just noticed too, you've mentioned the cure... The Last Stand has never been included in the Mana4X2 Universe, only the first two movies and Origins, therefore, you will need to change the mention of the cure and incorporate where Maverick was and what he was doing during our last major plot, which you will find the summary of which here: http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=2062.

Additionally, due to a glitch within Yahoo’s ability to actually allow email alerts from any IF board from being received over the last how many months I am not sure, just letting you know that if you have an email address other than the Yahoo one you are using now, it’d be best to change it over. That is why it took 7 times before you were able to actually receive the validation email… sorry about that. If you want more info, see this announcement: http://z14.invisionfree.com/Mana4X2/index.php?showtopic=3121.

Next, lol, this is just an offer, because if you really want to keep the ever worthy Joe Flanigan as Maverick’s play-by, then that is absolutely fine. Just wanted to show you the graphic set that was made for the previous player, give you the choice of possibly using it, since the play-by for him then was so very fitting as well.

And last, but not least, when you are approved for play, we will send you the password to his current account, as well as a copy of the bio HTML coding for reposting under it.

Is that it? Oh wow. LOL. I think it finally is… tongue.gif.

Thanks for the eight or so links. I changed the play by back to Jensen Ackles. It seemed like a better fit. I have altered the history and some parts of his personality. It needs to be checked over and given some serious critiquing. All suggestions welcomed.

WOW, seriously... WOW! Thank you SO much for taking the time... for wanting to take the time to not only read up on the links given to you, but incorporating it all into his bio too. So very awesomely done, Yes.gif.

Everything that needs to be there IS there, and again, thank you hugs.gif. Proves to us Admins that you are not only genuinely love the character and want to play him, but that you also wish to work with us to make sure you can pick up from where his player left off here.

Here is my green tick of Approval T.gif. After going through it and giving it another thorough look now that I have more time it us definitely all good as is. Anything that may be remembered or sorted out later can be added in after the fact, like has been, and will be the case with Logan's, Creed's and Wraith's bios. Just need to wait on at least one more Staff review before the password to his current account and the HTML coding is sent to you for reposting. In other words, until you are free to begin posting for him ^^. I am kind of hoping my fellow Staffer, Domonique, who plays Wraith has a good look at this soon. Might PM her about it actually ^^.

Oh, and it's such a relief you did choose to keep the old play-by grahics set, cos it will save our ever busy graphic gurus some time.

Again, WELCOME to Mana4X2! Can't wait to work with you in game, specially considering I play Wolverine, hehe biggrin.gif.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!! Gotta add my two cents!

I'll admit, when Maverick's former player left, I was depressed because Fae didn't have another person to 'try' and make 'em 'happy'. So.....tell me how I feel now that we have a Maverick player. AND he's down packed!!!!! Although, would it really kill you that he could have a pic where he's partially nekers? ^^

Seriously though, like Mana said, you seem to have a knack at Maverick in the personality, powers and history. Because, honestly, you get some people who will not take the time to work out the various kinks in a characters bio, not to mention a canon! So, this just kinda shows that your serious.

And so, I offer my stamp of approval...... T.gif WhiteKitty.gif

While I may not be an admin but I had a question. In the past Maverick was written to have a great deal of dislike for women, he didn't trust them. If I'm wrong, I'll bow out but where is that in the bio?

This is extremely well written and you've shown already that you're serious about playing him and prepared to put in the effort to take everything on board. I think you're going to play him very well and there's really nothing more that I think needs to be said that Domonique and Mana haven't already made clear. In any case I'll just add my approval. T.gif

As he's now been approved by all three of us, I'll go ahead and move him to the appropriate section.

Phalon, Stick was given the choice as to whether he wanted to keep that completely or explain it away as a general distrust for those he doesn't know, and perhaps more so towards women. Either way, it's touched on in the additional paragraph to the Personality.

Check your PM ASAP, Stick, password to current account and HTML coding for bio reposting coming your way happy.gif.
