Name: Remy LeBeau
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Side: Neutral
Affiliation: Civilian
Description:
Personality: Arrogant is the definition of Remy LeBeau. He has confidence that most people dream to have, and the attitude that goes along with it. Time and time again Remy has been told that he has a big ego, and that only makes it bigger. Remy is known to be reckless and wild, though few actually know the truth. Remy is very observant and intelligent. He usually plans everything out far in advance. Every second Remy is observing his surroundings and those around him, learning their strengths and weaknesses, what makes them get up in the morning and what breaks them down. He knows their every unique movement, and can predict their next move. At times, Remy knows people better then they know themselves.
Remy is a master thief and gambler in the plainest of terms. He is aware of everything around him and plays the game accordingly. No matter his situation, Remy always manages to play a good hand and come out on top, even if it doesn’t appear that way to others. He is a master at conning his enemies, and even more a master at conning his allies. He plays his whole life with a poker face, and rarely takes it off for anyone. Even in the darkest of hours, Remy is deceiving people.
Through all his confidence, Remy is lacking at times, though he refuses to let it show. The inability to ever show his eyes bothers him, but he hides it with a smart remark, and goes on with life. With the knowledge of his past and all his deeds, Remy can sometimes find himself feeling inadequate next to an X-Man, or any other person who has willingly dedicated their life to a life of good, in any form.
At the least though, Remy is polite. He is a major flirt, and says some rather risqué things to a woman, but he is rarely rude.
Powers/Abilities: Gambit has the ability to turn an object’s potential energy into kinetic energy, turning it into an exploding projectile. With the ability to tap into his own body’s inner bio-kinetic energy, Gambit possesses a very dangerous mutation. Unlike other mutants, Gambit is not immune from his powers, having hurt himself in the past.
Being able to tap into kinetic energy gives Gambit multiple powers. The main power is turning objects into explosives that detonate approximately ten seconds after Gambit releases them. However, if held too long, the energy can become unstable and explode in Gambit’s own hands. For the sheer weight, Gambit prefers to charge smaller objects such as playing cards or nearby rocks. Charging larger objects takes more energy, more time, and they are harder to throw. With the help from Mr. Sinister in his younger years, Gambit has been able to work with his powers and reach his full potential as an adult, the ability to charge organic matter anywhere within sight, not just touch. However, charging things within sight takes more energy then touch.
The kinetic energy surging through objects gives off a pink glow and heat, allowing Gambit to light a small room, and possibly heat one as well. To heat a room would take much more energy and concentration, and that is usually more then Gambit is willing to try for.
Another side effect of his powers is that he has gained increased agility, speed, dexterity and reflexes. This allows him to perform rather acrobatic-like moves without formal training. However, some of his moves comes from his past as a thief as well.
The last part of his mutation is his psionic shield and charm. Gambit’s powers grant him a mental block that can keep even the most powerful telepaths, such as Xavier, out of his mind. In addition, Gambit also has a kind of low-level charm that persuades people to trust him more then they normally would, and be attracted to him.
History: Remy’s history is a complicated one, however, well accomplished. In his rather short life, he has accomplished more then some men twice his age, though the past will never satisfy Remy.
Abandoned at birth, cast aside as being the devil, Remy would never know his parents. His demonic eyes give everyone who saw him the chills, and promised him a life of solitude. As a baby, Remy was stolen from the hospital by the Thieves’ Guild, and placed on the streets for his own safety, to keep him away from people who wanted much more from the little devil boy. Living on the streets as a boy, Remy did his best to survive. Living out of trash cans, stealing what he could, Remy was always alone. However, it wouldn’t last forever. One day Remy made the fatal mistake of trying to steal from Jean-Luc LeBeau, the head of the Thieves’ Guild. Jean-Luc immediately caught the boy. At 8 years of age, Jean-Luc knew the boy was finally ready to return home with him, where he would be raised as Jean-Luc’s son, and made into a true thief, one fitting of being an heir to the guild.
Growing up past that was more fun then anything else. Learning the skills of a thief, learning the movements, honing his reflexes, what more could a young boy ask for? He was rich now, his whole life transformed into something much more beautiful. He was a thief, an artist of sorts, though the rest of the world did not see it that way. When he was 15, Remy was once again forever transformed. He was partially blamed for the death of his younger cousin, Etienne. Remy was to be the observer of his cousin’s tilling, the rite of passage for a thief, one that would mark his life as a thief, or his life of solitude after having been exiled from the Thieves’ Guild. Etienne was to steal a chalice from a woman named Chandra. During the theft, things went horribly wrong when Chandra caught the boys and sent them off to dealer who took children with exceptional skills. The boys escaped from the dealer because of Remy’s powers, the first time he used his playing cards as a weapon. When jumping from a cliff to the sea below, Etienne died. Being the person who was meant to watch over Etienne, and keep him safe, Remy blamed himself for the death, though he had done everything in his power to save the younger boy.
Throughout his childhood, his best friend and sweetheart was always the beautiful blonde Belladonna Boudreaux. The daughter of the head of the Assassins’ Guild, and the rival of the Thieves’ Guild, though neither of the children cared. Both instructed to stay away from the other, the children still did not listen. They would grow up to become the saviors of their families.
Before that could happen though, Remy had yet another task when he was 17. At 17, he had another rite of passage, and in this one, he had to steal a rare and very sought after pendant from the daughter of a notorious jewel thief in Paris. Coming with him on this mission was his older brother Henri, the person who had been his observer during his first rite of passage.
Remy seduced Genevieve, the woman who had the pendant, and was using that as his way to get the pendant. Little did he know that Sabretooth was out for the pendant as well. Leaving Genevieve in the middle of the night one night, Remy was unaware of Sabretooth. Taking that as his opportunity, Sabretooth kidnapped Genevieve. Returning the hotel that he shared with Henri, Remy found a ransom note waiting for him, Sabretooth had kidnapped Henri as well. Leading him to Notre Dame, Remy found Sabretooth with both his brother Henri, and Genevieve, the woman he was falling in love with, dangling from the top of the building. In exchange for the pendant, Sabretooth would allow Remy to save only one of two. Doing the only thing he could do, Remy saved Henri, leaving Genevieve to fall to her death, and died in Remy’s arms. That night taught him a lesson he would never forget, after having felt responsible for his second death.
Upon returning to New Orleans, Remy and Belladonna were married off. For them it was love, but for the guilds, it was a peace treaty. Though not everyone saw it that way. Belladonna’s brother, Julien, opposed the marriage. He hated Remy, and wanted nothing more then Remy dead. In a duel, Julien was outclassed as both a swordsman and a fighter compared to Remy, but Julien didn’t care. He challenged Remy anyway, and to save his own life, and defend his marriage, Remy had no choice but to fight. The duel left Remy the victor, but Julien dead. Though everyone agreed that Remy was fighting in self-defense, Julien’s father was outraged, as was Belladonna. To spare Remy’s life, he was exiled from New Orleans and left feeling betrayed.
After leaving New Orleans, Remy was sought by other people. He spent time working for Mr. Sinister in exchange for an operation that would reduce the power of his mutation to a controllable level. As repayment, Remy was to gather a group of assassins called the Marauders and lead them into the sewers to the Morlock tunnels on an unknown mission. Once there, the mission became obvious, it was the annihilation of the Morlock race. In horror, Remy observed the team he had assembled slaughter hundreds of innocent people. Remy managed to save one girl from the massacre, and girl with bones covering her face. After that, he fled Mr. Sinister with the deepest of guilt, determined to never let anyone else know of this secret that would haunt him forever.
Now, Remy has found himself in New York, doing what he does best to survive and live a life on his own.
