Nation: Australia
Name: Logan Mortlock
Nick-name: (Wolverine??)
Age: 26
date of birth: January 1, 1983
Hometown: Brisbane, Australia
Occupation: Police Officer and ass-kicker
Residence: Currently staying in various motels until he's able to find a roommate to share an apartment with.
Family: His mother and father have disowned him, tired of his brash attitude and shame he brought to his family. Far cousins include Arthur, and Peter Kirkland while he also has non-blood related step cousins, Macbeth, Aoife, and [Wales].
First Impression: “He seems like a friendly fello-oh sh*t he just tried to sock me in the face! Oh geez why is he still trying to hit me?! Does he think this is fun?!”
1.He has been wrestling crocodiles since he was a kid, as a way to exert all that built up energy. He has never lost a fight except once when it was two (crocs) against one. During that fight, a croc was able to cut the bridge of his nose. It was not big but it was certainly deep and when it began healing, Logan had the bad habit of picking at the scab thus it never fully healed. He wears a badage over the injury now, occassionaly replacing it.
2.Logan is the kind of overly friendly guy who doesn't know a thing about personal space or boundaries, and thinks that being “hands on” makes a friendship stronger. He is also very optimistic and only tends to see the brighter side of things even if the world around him fell to the fire and brimstone of a raging apocalypse.
3. Even though he is not the type of guy to be easily angered, Logan tends to solve problems with his fists and never backs down from a challenge. Because of his strong and muscled build, he is hard to take down and as such, if a kangaroo kicked him in the jaw it would be a like mere tickle to Logan.
4. Despite his big, muscled, exterior, animals are naturally attracted to Logan . They seem to sense his kind and harmless aura and always react friendly towards him, no matter how instinctively vicious they may be. This of course changes only when Logan wants them to act hostile towards him, challenging them to a good tussle in a test of strength and agility. Logan always finds a way to win in the end (usually because he excels them in stamina).
5. Before he was sent packing by his family to America, Logan was part of the local police force. Even though he had the highest success rates in arresting criminals, he never carried a weapon as he is a strong believer that his body is the only weapon he needs. This philosophy leads him to wonder if those who always carry weapons are actually very weak and self conscious about their natural strength. He's not one to judge but if those types are ever in trouble empty handed, Logan will always be willing (and eager) to save them.
6. When Logan was first born his parents wanted to bring him up under their morals of a calm and collected life-style filled with music and meditation. However, as the years went by Logan became more attracted to the exciting wilderness found in Australia and wrestling it's natural wild life. The more Logan grew in age, so too did his adventurous lifestyle and shenanigans leaving his parents to rack their brain's over what to do with their son. In their eyes, his constant bloodied and bruised visage was appalling and they could no longer bear dealing with his constant need for fighting. After mulling it over for a few years they finally decided to disown Logan from the family and send him as far away from them as they possibly could, on a one way trip to America. Surprised by the sudden trip, Logan thanked his parents for, what he thought was, an all expense paid vacation.
7. Logan is definitely the epitome of what's considered a "burly man" and does not try to hide it in any way, shape, or form. Even his laugh is big and hearty, causing a slight rumble in the air just before he let's it out while holding his masculine hands against his rippling abs. Whenever wearing a buttoned shirt he will always have the first 3 or 4 buttons opened revealing his manly chest hair. During the hotter seasons he has a tendency of ripping off sleeves as well as bursting his shirt open in an attempt to cool down. This in turn causes many trips to local clothes stores, and in turn causes him to be in the red for the rest of the month.
8. Before he left for America, he informed the police force of his "vacation" but still asked for a recommendation letter. Even though it was his time away from home, he knew crime fighting was in his blood and would become restless after prolonged relaxation. He enlisted in the Liberty City police force, already intimidating his superior officers with his great stature and chiseled body. He baffled them when he refused to take the mandatory weapons assigned to an officer. His co-workers pledged to avoid any future partnerships with this man.
9. Logan believes everyone in the world to be his friend, even those he put behind bars and curse him under their breath whenever they have the chance. Whenever someone curses or condemns him out loud, obviously outraged, Logan jovially laughs it off under the impression that they mean it jokingly, of course, and in good nature. And if someone attacks him, deliberately trying to harm him, he sees it as an invitation to a friendly sparring match. He really has no real enemies.
10. One day while out gallivanting through the wilderness known as the local Brisbane forests, Logan caught sight of large billows of smoke looming over a nearby area while in search of his next sparring partner. Running towards the source of the smoke Logan was shocked to find part of the forest engulfed in flames trapping a young koala in a ring of fire. Not knowing what else to do Logan immediately bolted through the fierce blaze and sifted through the heated ashes to save the koala. Since then he has raised it as his own, proudly naming the koala Biff Manlington (after his great-great grandfather), and considers it to be one of his best friends in this world. Though for some reason it has an extreme dislike for humans other than Logan which may have started because of the incident of the forest fire.
11. Logan does not try to hide his Aussie accent, and in fact prefers it over what is considered the normal speech pattern in America. At times his words get very confusing, though it’s just the slang he grew up with, and many people accuse him of making up words. He tries to convince them that this language is in fact real and commonplace in Australia but no one believes him.
Secret-o Mate': Logan is a sucker for kids movies and has a tendency to cry during, or at the end of a movie. Though he does not cry in a sense, no it's more manly then that, he bawls his eyes out. He's just a big ol' softy deep down. Movies Logan has cried in, but is not limitied to: Finding Nemo, The Pokemon Movie, Spirited Away, The Iron Giant, Bambi, and Wall-E.
