“My name is Nick Fury. I'm the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
NICK FURY
Name: NICHOLAS JOSEPH FURY
Alias(es): Nick Fury, November Foxtrot
REGULAR
Age: Undisclosed. Possible mid-40s, possibly over 80
Height: 6’ 2”
Physical Description:
Nick Fury is tall and a man of solid muscle, though not overly muscular. His body is in peak shape thanks to the super soldier forum given to him that has essentially frozen him in a state where he was at his best; preventing any physical aging. He is an African-American man, bald, with dark brown eyes.
Because of the injury sustained in the Gulf War Nick Fury wears a black eyepatch over his left eye, faint scarring can be seen around the edges of the patch. Unlike most SHIELD operatives Nick wears black armored attire beneath his aged black leather trenchcoat.
Face Claim: SAMUEL L. JACKSON
Personality:
Nick Fury is a no nonsense leader and takes his duty to the world very seriously. He is a smart man and wont give anyone the pleasure of thinking they've outsmarted him as his prep allows him to cover all angles that they may think of. Fury is dedicated to his team and his team mates, though that is not to say that he is above using said team mates in any way he sees fit (short of sacrificing them) to complete a goal.
He is a patient man but can be quite forceful when he needs to be. Though his history and reputation and even position usually draw respect from others immediately Nick Fury doesn't really give a rat's ass if someone doesn't have that respect for him, because in the end he will damn sure show them why they should. He enjoys challenges and always tackles them head on, unless he has formulated a plan to tackle it from some other angle. Director Fury fears nothing and never surrenders, always prepared to fight to the bitter end.

Enhanced Stamina:
Superhuman Durability: Fury can take physical injury and impact greater than a normal human being.

As Director of SHIELD there are a number of access he is allowed and favors he can call upon from the US government

Disadvantages:
His attitude can alienate others

Poor depth perception
Occupation: Director of SHIELD
Citizenship: US of A
Place of Birth: 'Merica
Relatives: A few ex-wives and a son
History:
Details of Nick Fury's early life and career are sketchy and contradictory. He has claimed both that he was orphaned as a child, and that his mother is still alive; that he graduated college in India less than a decade ago and that he personally contributed to the end of the Cold War. Regardless, his status as a "war hero" is generally considered unquestionable. He has also said he has been prepared to die since the age of eighteen, but what happened then and how it affected his life remains a mystery.
One thing that is known about Fury prior to his life in service is Fury himself was no stranger to trouble, but more than often confined it to the boxing ring where he would bout, or in the Police Athletic League where he became one of the finest marksman. During Fury's enlistment he served in the first Gulf War where he sustained the injury that now causes him to wear an eyepatch. Around this time a new formula was in experimental stage to recreate the Super Soldier serum.
Many willing and unwilling subjects were tested upon, Fury himself being one of these test subjects. While results looked promising Fury was the only "success" and not even he had the full potential that was seen in Captain America. The recreation of the formula was scrapped for some time, until decades later when the US government attempted a new formula with the aid of gamma radiation.
This new testing was the most recent of failure and led to the creation of the monster Hulk. Serving his country Nick Fury had come into role of Director of the very secret organization he had helped build; SHIELD, and thus his first act was to permanently end all attempts at recreating the super soldier forum. As a part of SHIELD Nick Fury encountered many of the superhumans living on Earth, keeping a close eye on the mutants as well as the beast Hulk but at that time unwilling to act against them.
It was not until the arrival of billionaire Tony Stark creating the mantle of Iron Man did Fury see how these superhumans could be of great use. And so the Avengers Initiative was drafted. The discovery of a preserved Captain America seemed to be faith, or whatever you'd like to call it, and Nick Fury knew that his team of superhumans needed to come to fruition. His Initiative was initially rejected but after the battle with Loki Fury has been proven to be correct; the Avengers were indeed a great idea to protect the planet and to this day Nick Fury is still keeping an eye on those who he finds to be possible future members.
Sample:
The air was crisp and cool over the islands of Japan. Aboard the Helicarrier Nick Fury stood with his one good eye leveled down on the land forms and the water below. Two SHIELD agents stood a few shy feet behind him, a third approached. With his arms folded behind his back Director Nick Fury appeared to be deep in thought but he still heard the steps of the approaching agent. "What is it?"[/color]
Agent Maria Hill stopped in her tracks, smirking slightly that Fury was able to pick up on her approach. "We have the President on the line, Sir." She paused. Nick could tell there was more. He hated to deal with the politics but he knew it was a vital part of their operation, however unfortunate that may be.
He turned sideways to lay his good eye on the female agent, his face showing just how unpleased he was. "And?" "He wants to discuss the mutants, and...the new possible members of the Avengers." Nick Fury smirked and turned away from Maria, "Tell him it can wait."[/color] That was the end of the discussion as far as Fury was concerned. He unfolded his arms and let his jacket slip off his shoulders, revealing the jetpack he wore.
"There's more important things that need my attention." Leaping from the Helicarrier with the two agents on his six Nick Fury descended into Japan.
