Hiiiiiii!
Robyn here with character number 2! As usual, I'm on AIM at a forgetful girl and reachable by gmail at alieandvixx(at)gmail.com.
So this is Laura Kinney, but no one in game will know her last name because she's keeping it a secret. She gave the orphanage a fake name because she didn't want to be sent home (but her mommy isn't looking for her anyway) which was probably like... some random word. Laura Stone, let's say. But when asked, she says, "Just Laura."
Anywho, she's 16, turning 17 in December, and she's at the orphanage right now. She's been there for over a year off and on. She came to NY to find her daddy (who is Wolverine, btw, no clones here) but got into some trouble with the sentinels and got scooped by Essex. She's got a bit of a woeful past, but not nearly as much as 616 Laura, because she was never a part of Weapon X. She just had a shitty childhood as the bullied weird, poor kid, and her mother wasn't really the greatest, and so when her mom's boyfriend tried to molest/rape her and she went all raging claws on his ass and woke up with a destroyed house, him bleeding, and her mother wielding a knife at her and telling her to leave, Laura ran away.
She was fourteen then, and managed to get to New York where her mother said she met a guy at a party who was responsible for Laura, but she had no idea where to look and just ended up living on the streets for a while before she landed at Essex's orphanage.
OH! She DID have a father figure for a couple years as a kid, her Sensei Takashi who taught her martial arts and was generally nice to her for a while until they were in a fatal car crash together. (Laura got better.) So she does know a bit about fighting but she is no way an elite assassin ilke in 616 either.
More details on Laura here in her profile (which is even longer than this rambly intro, no lies!), but really all you need to know is that she's a little quiet, kind of quirky, has some serious cravings for affection, and is otherwise a fairly normal, if slightly damaged, 16 year old girl.
So! Plot? She's going to be bffs with Illyana and buddies with Skids, but I haven't yet plotted with the other orphanage kids much. Beyond them, once she gets out, she needs all SORTS of relationships.
Whee!
