The Reflection in the mirror:
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Burning Red
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 179lbs
Legal Status: Adult
Occupation: Teacher, former thief
Affiliation: X-Men; formerly Marauders, Horsemen of Apocalypse, X-Treme Sanctions Executive, Unified Guilds (patriarch), Thieves Guild (patriarch)
Abilities: Gambit has the mutant ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy by touching it. When Gambit thus charges an object and throws it at a target, the object releases this energy explosively on contact. Gambit is able to charge living beings now, shown when he charged Sebastian Shaw, Daken's arm and even a small lizard to use as a bomb. His favorite object to use are common playing cards, although other things will do in a pinch. He once charged a wad of gum, and spat it in the face of X-Cutioner while he was restrained. At his full power, Gambit is able to charge any organic or non-organic matter within his line of sight through thought. The failure to control his abilities in his youth forced him to turn to Mister Sinister, who excised the portion of his brain stem responsible for his full abilities. Later, while he is trapped in Victorian England, he returns to Sinister to have his grey matter re-implanted, restoring his abilities to their full potential. He uses his powers to return to present-day by transforming himself into living energy, which joins with the kinetic flow of the time stream. After the surgery performed by Mister Sinister, Gambit's powers were restored to their natural potential. He was able to use his power simply by looking at an object that he wished to charge, including living objects. Gambit could also manipulate the potency of the energy release and could even exercise a measure of control over time. With access to his full power, Gambit is able to manipulate the potency of his bio-kinetic energy to burn, cause molecular discomfort, incinerate and create timed detonations. However, he burns out all of his power after fighting New Son, and it is left back at it's normal level.
Gambit's mutation gives him red and black eyes
Gambit is also able to heal himself by stimulating his cellular activity, although this ability has only been demonstrated once.
After having a card explode in his face and being blinded, Gambit showed the ability to see the future in his cards. A tarot reading ability that was only shown while he was blind.
Gambit's ability to tap into energy also grants him superhuman agility and dexterity, as well as creating a static interference that shields his mind from detection and intrusion by even the most powerful telepaths.
Gambit also possesses a hypnotic charm that allows him to exert a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Gambit to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests. However, powerful minds have proven immune to Gambit's charm.
Remy is an expert weapon fighter. He specializes in the Savate style of fighting with a Bo staff, while he is also trained in traditional dueling and fencing. He can throw small objects with extraordinary accuracy. Though never confirmed, this uncanny accuracy may be a factor of his mutant powers, given that he very often throws playing cards much farther and with much greater accuracy than any human has ever been known to achieve. He is also a skilled duelist and fencer. Gambit is bilingual (fluent in both English and Cajun French). He can also change his accent to reflect his role. He is cunning, observant, patient as well as a master thief. He is also a master card shark and gambler. Gambit can weigh the risks based on what is to be gained or lost. He is willing to gamble everything for those he loves most. Hence his name.
What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: Gambit is a charmer by nature. He enjoys the romantic aspect of life over most other. He's a thrill seeker, and a rebel at heart. He's given his heart to very few, but his body to almost all. Remy has a complicated past as far as the line between good and bad. He is constantly trying to redeem himself with small act, and then taking two steps back with strong bad acts. He's closest to Rogue and Storm, along with somewhat close to Wolverine and Bishop. In the end Gambit will do the right thing, most so for the sake of someone else and not his own body, which he will always risk for a good time.
History: Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves' Guild who referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil. They believed he was the child that had been prophesied to unite the warring Guilds. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery.
Later, when he was around ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then-patriarch of the Thieves’ Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy in off the streets and adopted him into his own family. As part of a peace pact between the Thieves’ Guild and their rivals, the Assassin’s Guild, a marriage was arranged between Remy and Bella Donna Boudreaux, the granddaughter of the head of the Assassin's Guild. However, Bella Donna's brother Julien objected to the marriage and challenged Gambit to a duel. Remy killed Julien in self-defense, but was excommunicated and banished from New Orleans in an attempt to maintain the nonaggression pact between the two guilds.
Remy wandered the world as he plied his skills as a master thief, aided by his mutant power to charge objects with explosive energy. He employed playing cards he charged with kinetic energy as his trademark weapon. At one point Remy had approached the master geneticist Mr. Sinister for help in controlling his powers. Sinister removed some of Remy's brain tissue to reduce his power levels, thus affording him a greater degree of control. As a result, Remy was now in the geneticist's debt, and Sinister subsequently charged the thief with assembling the team of assassins called the Marauders. Remy did not realize that Sinister would employ the Marauders to massacre the underground mutant community known as the Morlocks. Seeing the horrific results of his actions, Remy attempted to stop the massacre but was almost killed by the Marauder named Sabretooth. However, he did manage to save one young Morlock girl who would one day grow up to become the X-Man named Marrow.
Eventually, Remy encountered Storm, a member of the outlaw team of mutant adventurers known as the X-Men. Storm had been transformed into an amnesiac child who had turned to theft as a means to survive. Remy helped her escape her enemy, the malevolent psionic entity known as the Shadow King, and they became partners. Later, when the X-Men's founder Professor Charles Xavier returned from a long period of traveling in outer space, Storm sponsored Remy's admission into the X-Men. Remy soon fell in love with his fellow X-Man, Rogue, blessed and cursed with the ability to absorb other mutants' thoughts and abilities through skin-on-skin contact. The feeling was mutual, but the two soulmates were condemned never to touch. At one point, Rogue left the X-Men after she kissed Remy and absorbed a portion of his memories, learning of his role in the Morlock Massacre.
Remy was subsequently captured and brought before a mock trial held by Magneto, the mutant master of magnetism, then disguised as Erik the Red. He was summarily cast out of the X-Men and was abandoned in the frozen wastes of Antarctica. Starving to death, Remy made his way back into Magneto's citadel where he came upon the psionic essence of a dead mutant named Mary Purcell. The wraith-like Mary bonded with him, allowing him to survive until he reached the Savage Land, a hidden jungle nestled in the icy wasteland. There, Remy struck a deal with the enigmatic being known as the New Sun. In exchange for passage back to America, Remy agreed to run errands for the New Sun.
Remy returned home and encountered the X-Men again when he attempted to steal the fabled Crimson Gem of Cyttorak for his new employer. He agreed to return to the team, mainly for his self-respect and for his love for Rogue. However, Mary began to threaten Remy and his friends if he didn't agree to stay with her forever. When the X-Men finally found out about Mary, the wraith fled with Remy to her old hometown, where she tried to force him to merge with her and become a new type of hybrid lifeform. While Remy wrestled with her, Rogue charged in with a containment unit, which ultimately dispersed Mary.
During a trip back in time, Remy's powers were restored to their maximum potential by Sinister and he was able to utilize them to return to the present. Soon after his return, Remy served for a time as patriarch of the Thieves' Guild in his father's stead, as well as leading one of two teams of X-Men. Remy was also responsible for the unification of the Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds into the Unified Guild, of which he also served briefly as patriarch.
Meanwhile, the New Sun revealed his true nature after organizing an assassination game for a cadre of super-powered mercenaries with Remy as the target. When Remy took the fight back to the New Sun, he was shocked to learn that the New Sun was actually an alternate reality version of himself. In his own reality, the New Sun's kinetic charging powers had flared out of control, burning the world and killing everyone. As a result, the New Sun hunted down and killed versions of himself in other realities to ensure that they would not repeat his mistakes. During their final battle, Remy burned out his enhanced powers to defeat the New Sun, ending his threat and returning his powers to their normal level.
Remy was later framed by mutant businessman Sebastian Shaw for the death of the Australian crimelord named Viceroy. With the assistance of Rogue, her team of X-Treme X-Men, and former Triad member Red Lotus, Remy was able to clear his name. Soon after, Remy became embroiled in the X-Treme X-Men's fight against an alien invasion of Earth. He was captured and used as a power source for the invaders to open a portal that would allow their full invasion fleet to pass through and complete the conquest of Earth. The process was halted by the enigmatic villain known as Vargas, who plunged his sword into Remy's chest. Remy survived, but found that he had lost his mutant abilities. As a result, he and the also-powerless Rogue sought to live a normal life together and retired from the X-Men.
However try as they might, a normal life was not for them to lead as the pair soon became embroiled in the X-Treme X-Men's fight against the mutant predator Elias Bogan. After Bogan was defeated, the X-Man named Sage used her mutant ability to "jumpstart" Remy's mutant powers and he rejoined the team.
In an alternate future over 70 years from now in which the X-Man Bishop was born, Remy had become an aged figure named the Witness, so-called because he had apparently witnessed the betrayal of the X-Men by one of their own members. He was also thought to be the last survivor of the X-Men. Upon joining the X-Men himself, Bishop suspected Remy to be the traitor until realized that Xavier's mind and Magneto's mind spawned the corrupt psionic entity known as Onslaught.
During Apocalypse's most recent bid for power, Gambit joined Apocalypse's side as the horseman, Death. Gambit believed that Apocalypse would be able to save the mutants, but he would be able to stop Apocalypse should he betray them.
As Death, Gambit attacked his lover Rogue and his former group X-Men. Cyclops arrived with The Avengers to stop Apocalypse and his Horsemen. Apocalypse finally lost, and seems dead for a while. Sunfire, Apocaypse's other Horseman rescued Death from battle and they escaped. Afterwards they returned to take Polaris, who had also become a Horseman of Apocalypse only to find Polaris had been injured in the last battle and was now in a coma. Death and Sunfire lost the battle and were forced to run from the X-Base. Afterwards they discussed what will happen to them without Apocalypse. During their conversation, Mr. Sinister found them and they joined his Marauders.
As Death, Gambit regretted attacking Rogue. Sinister rescued him from his Death form, leaving Gambit feeling betrayed by the X-Men and indebted to Sinister. In the end, Gambit decided to stay with Sinister. The Marauders waited for the right time to attack the X-Men, with Gambit at the Marauders' side. During the battle, Mystique betrayed the X-Men and shot her step-daughter Rogue, Gambit's lover. They then took Rogue and ran. The Marauders had won the first battle.
After that, Gambit and Sunfire attacked Cable. Cable lost and was thought to be killed by Gambit, but Cable was in fact not dead.
The X-Men went to the Marauders for the baby where Wolverine injured Gambit, and learned the baby Messiah was actually with Cable. Upon learning the Marauders had no idea where the baby was, it was surmised Gambit assisted Cable in taking her.
When Bishop attacked Cable, Gambit rescued the baby, but as he returned to Sinister, he discovered Mystique killed him. Gambit felt as if he was finally free, and when Mystique used the baby to try to heal Rogue, Gambit saved baby again. Professor X and Cable came to take child, so Gambit gave the baby to them. Rogue was healed, and even though she wanted to kill Mystique, she didn't. Rogue's final request of Gambit was that he didn't follow her.
Sample RP:
As Gambit looked up at the gate, he could see two cameras peering at him. 'Foscam FI8910W Pan & Tilt IP/Network Camera with Two-Way Audio and Night Vision. Childs play.' Remy snickered as he started to time the movement of the cameras with his watch. He could tell no one was even manning them. If someone was even watching them at all, he couldn't tell. Some places just use this for show, or to cover lawsuits if something random happens.
24 hours earlier. Gambit, taking a vacation from the X-Men. Though, vacation was loosely used. Rogue had told him they needed time off, and being around the X-Men, was just not quite worth it. Cyclops had gone military dog style, Magneto was now a good guy. Night crawler was dead, and Wolverine was now... pretty much a full time teacher. No, instead Gambit took all his charm, and good looks, and found himself at some fundraiser. He didn't know it was a front for the Purifiers. Ironic really when you think about it. Gambit preferred not to.
Remy had found himself flirting with a young woman, later he found out a close relative to William Stryker himself, and had gone so deep into character, he as far as she thought, was ready to break down the front door of any place, that supported the mutant cause.
So here he was now, breaking and hopefully entering a high security training facility for mutants. Not the first, nor the last time, Remy found himself in this situation. Stealing to please a woman. Not the stealing part, or the pleasing a woman. Alright Cajun, you don' dis move about a hundred times now.
Gambit tossed his legs back, as he easily jumped up, and over, the stone and brick outer walls. This place was used to being broken into, but the clientele inside, was a stronger theft deterrent, than the cameras themselves. Remy had to stay quiet, and keep calm. 'If my memory oh de' blue prints I saw, dis is the entry place I need. Right above the master bedroom. Home to one mutant I understand isn't the type to be woken up from a sleep.'
Gambit reached into a side pocket, and pulled out a bump key. He had marshaled it to fit just about any basic lock. And windows, for whatever reason, either are a simple latch bolt, or an easy key. Remy inserted the bump key, and slowly pulled the window open. As he stepped down onto the carpet, he heard rustling going on down the hall. Gambit ducked himself behind the bed, as a person was heard walking down the hallway outside.
Gambit let out a small sigh of relief, and he moved closer to the closet area. He knew there was a false wall. Remy pulled out a small black light, and saw large finger prints on the wall. He put his hand in the same place, using both his hands as the hand print was quite large.
A small screen opened, and inside was a Transposition Cipher code disruption device. This was old news to Remy, and cracking it really took no skill, just updated software on his cell phone. Plugging it in, the wall moved back. Inside was a small vial. 'Don' know what a woman would need with dis little thing, but I hope da big guy don' mind.'
Remy turned around, and found his way back to the window. As he jumped out, the moon caught a reflection and shed some light into the room. Above where the vial was set, laid a name plaque. 'Core sample of Legacy Virus, obtained 10/13/2001. Property of Hank McCoy."
As Gambit exited, he walked under a sign. 'School for gifted youngsters." And smiled playfully.

Plugging it in, the wall moved back. Inside was a small vial. 'Don' know what a woman would need with dis little thing, but I hope da big guy don' mind.'
Remy turned around, and found his way back to the window. As he jumped out, the moon caught a reflection and shed some light into the room. Above where the vial was set, laid a name plaque. 'Core sample of Legacy Virus, obtained 10/13/2001. Property of Hank McCoy."
As Gambit exited, he walked under a sign. 'School for gifted youngsters." And smiled playfully.
Code word: Armageddon
