The rules are:
1. Post all rules2. Write 8 facts about your character
3. Tag 8 people -- No.
4. Write the name of the character with its owner.
I've done this previously for Steel Wolf, so if you'd like to read those answers, head to the following link...
...But here are eight more for good measure.
9) As should be surprising to no one, Steel Wolf’s personality (in particular his speech patterns and artistic ability) are influenced by the X-Men’s Colossus. He was always my favorite X-Man growing up, and Claremont’s portrayal of him stuck in my head. The main difference being that Steel Wolf’s life as a soldier has altered his worldview in a way that Piotr’s upbringing and experience did not.
10) Steel Wolf will kill if there’s no other option. While it’s not his first choice, or even how he’d want things to end, Steel Wolf is first and foremost in his mind a soldier, and looks to a threat in that manner. But only if there’s no other option, and he takes no pleasure in it.
11) Due to the process that granted him his powers, Steel Wolf is unable to have children. This is a point of great sorrow to both he and Auren (which was hinted at in her interview in another journal entry). This fact isn't something based on me and my wife in real life (we've got two sons), it's just something I thought would be an interesting element for them.
12) The above fact always bums my wife out (on whom Auren is based) because it means that our characters can’t ever have kids like we do in real life.
13) Steel Wolf’s current costume was almost designed by accident. A friend had done a pic MANY years ago, and I was experimenting with different designs for him at the time. As a result, when he drew Steel Wolf, he made a costume for him that was split right down the middle, red on one side and white on the other. I took that as inspiration, and came up with the design he now wears. I love asymmetry, so that design element appealed to me.
14) When I first created him, Steel Wolf could release an explosive wave of energy from himself like a bomb. This didn’t last, and was written out of the character after a few times using him back in the day. I decided it was dumb.
15) Steel Wolf’s continuity is linear. That’s right, every seemingly-random appearance and picture that he’s been featured in (that I’ve had done or been a part of) is part of his canon, and fits into a timeline I have. I’m a continuity nerd, and I can’t imagine how much it would irritate (and confuse) me to have concurrent incarnations going on at the same time.
16) Steel Wolf was a villain for awhile. Back in the day, one of our campaign’s foes had managed to infect Steel Wolf with a kind of biomechanical virus. It was so invasive that it allowed the main villain to gain control of him. And for a few months real time, whenever we’d play, I’d actually play Steel Wolf as a bad guy under the villain’s thrall. Eventually, he was freed and the villain dealt with.
