Identities

Public: Laura has a passport and fake ID thanks to The Facility, but she hasn't really used them for much other than the basics and to lie low.

---

Secret: She shows up on missions with the other Teen X-Men, and has claws like Wolverine's. Not a lot of public data, although she would show up in Facility files, and there are likely still rumors in the criminal underworld from when she was still a Facility agent.

Background: An Overview

Created as a privately funded copy of Weapon X, Laura began her life as X-23. Until her teenage years, she was treated as a tool, a weapon, anything but a person. At age seven, upset that her X-Gene hadnt manifested yet, Zander Rice, the head of the project, had her irradiated until her body mutated to survive. As further revenge against her surrogate mother for succeeding where he had failed, Rice conducted the adamantium bonding surgery personally, without anaesthetic. X-23's claws were completely removed from her body, coated with the alloy, and re-inserted. At age ten, her first mission, to kill a presidential candidate, was a complete success. The next few years were a blur, kill after kill, until finally with the help of her Mother, she managed to escape. Zander got one last laugh though, as her mother had been dosed with the trigger scent. As the woman lay dying in her arms, X-23 was given a name: Laura. Several more incidents hammered home the point that nobody around her was safe, so she fled to New York, where she would eventually be discovered again by the X-Men and enrolled at the Xavier school. It was here that she learned from her teachers that she could be a hero, a force for good, and not just a dangerous weapon.

Canon Differences & Notes

Canon differences or character notes.

Powers

Healing Factor
Lauras body regenerates much faster than normal, able to recover from severe damage in a few minutes. This ability also keeps her from bleeding out whenever she pops her claws. By repairing muscular tearing and microfractures, she can push her body to the limits of human physique. Her metabolism is also affected, rendering her mostly immune to anything less than vast doses of drugs and poisons, as well as removing fatigue toxins.

---

Enhanced Senses
Lauras senses are much more sensitive than the human norm, allowing her to see farther and more accurately in full light, and roughly equivalent to the human daylight norm while in near complete darkness. Her hearing is enhanced in both sensitivity and range, and her acute sense of smell allows her to track targets even if weather has partially washed away the trail.

---

Enhanced Reflexes
Lauras reflexes operate faster than possible for a normal human, allowing her to swiftly react to threats, engage in superhuman feats of acrobatics and agility, as well as make the most out of her other enhanced attributes.

---

Enhanced Durability
Lauras body is more durable than typical for humans. She is by no means invincible, but she can take a few hits before she breaks and has to heal.

---

Claws
Laura has six bone claws, two in each hand and one in each foot. At age seven, her claws were extracted, bonded with the alloy Adamantium, and replaced. The bonding enhanced her already sharp and durable claws, infiltrating and supporting the bone before the dense alloy set. Its molecular structure locked in place to form a nearly indestructible blade that will never dull. She can extend and retract these claws at will as long as her hands and feet are straight when the claws emerge.

Skills

Combat Training
During her time at The Facility, Laura was taught how to fight and kill. She studied martial arts and close combat, as well as the use of firearms for longer range operations.

---

Covert Ops
What good is a weapon if you cant get it to the right place to strike? The Facility also trained Laura in spycraft and espionage to enable her to infiltrate and locate her target, make her kill, and escape without detection.

---

Polyglot
Laura speaks fluent English, French, and Japanese, among other languages, taught to her during her time at the Facility.

---

Quick Witted
Laura is adept at processing multiple sources of information, and is able to quickly respond to changing tactical situations.

Resources

Xavier Student
As a student at the Xavier School, and trainee X-Man, Laura gets all the benefits of the school grounds (IE, Room, Board, Medical Facilities, Classes,) In addition to her uniform and hero training.

---

Blood Money
When Laura's mother helped her escape The Facility, they took a bag with money and several fake identities. A decent amount of this was used to help her aunt and cousin escape to Canada, but Laura still has several bug-out-bags with cash and documents hidden in various lockerse and hiding places.

Pros

Laura has no Pros.

Cons

Trigger Scent
To ensure that Laura would kill without hesitation, The Facility developed a Trigger Scent that could be applied to targets. After torture and psychological programming, exposure to the scent drives her into a beserker rage, killing the person marked with the scent and anyone else around them, only stopping when everyone is dead. The exact chemical formula is a Facility secret, but vials have been known to appear on the black market from time to time.

---

How Human Am I
Due to spending most of her life in captivity as a living weapon, being treated as a tool, Laura has trouble interacting normally with people. Some find her mannerisms, actions, and complete lack of tact off putting, while others are afraid of her due to her history. This has caused her to isolate herself, which only compounds the problem. Needless to say, this experience has also left her severely emotionally stunted, and with a nasty case of PTSD. During combat she also shows little regard for her own safety, allowing an injury if it would let her gain an advantage. Her life has already been filled with pain. Whats a little more?

---

I Can Make You Hurt
A girl with a healing factor doesnt have scars last, although some disappear slower than others. Years of repressing her feelings and pushing down her feelings have left Laura somewhat emotionally numb. She sometimes resorts to self harm to feel something, even if it is just pain, and establish some semblance of control.

---

Healing Interrupt
The presence of a foreign body in Lauras brain can interfere with the action of her healing factor. For instance, if she was shot in the head and the bullet remained inside her skull, it would have to be removed before her healing factor could fully repair the damage.

---

Repo Woman
Growing your own clone of Wolverine isn't cheap, especially when you've trained her as an assassin. The Facility wants Laura back, and even if it isn't always the highest priority, Kimura, Laura's 'handler' during her time there, still holds a grudge.
