POWERS

ABSORPTION Using skin-to-skin contact, Rogue can absorb the mutant powers, mundane abilities and talents, memories and thoughts, life force, physical capabilities, and psyches of any living target.

This power is currently involuntary and uncontrolled. Prior to his coma, Rogue had been working with Professor Xavier long enough to discover there's some sort of mental block interfering with her ability to control her powers. She hasn't been able to figure out what.

For the most part, this transfer is temporary, lasting approximately 60x the amount of time Rogue touches someone. For most of her active use of this power, she touches an target for a second or two to absorb their abilities, etc for the next 1-2 minutes. A few seconds of life force absorbed won't harm the average person, though they might feel dizzy or disoriented. With more prolonged contact, the target can go unconscious and then comatose. The extent of thoughts, memories and personality absorbed also relies on the length of contact. With a little swipe, she'll only absorb surface level thoughts.

There is no current upper limit to how many targets Rogue can absorb at once. It is wildly disorienting to have more than a few, as she takes on not only powers/abilities, but personality traits, memories, and in the cases of people with physical mutations, those physical traits as well.

Though it hasn't happened much, a being more powerful than Rogue can technically absorb her psyche and powers instead of the other way around if she makes contact. Contact with non-humans has varied results; her powers don't work with purely non-organic beings, but things could get weird with cyborgs, aliens, and the like.

CAROL DANVERS' POWERS Rogue has kept some of the memories and powers of an Air Force pilot whose plane she was trying to steal as a pre-teen. [[TBD: This pilot ended up having partial alien descent so it went weird]], and Rogue kept her memories and some of her powers. These include the following:

SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH: Rogue can lift about 50 tons, maybe more.
SUPERHUMAN DURABILITY/STAMINA: She can also go at full pace for 24 hours or more, and she can withstand high-caliber bullets, force attacks, temperature changes, falls from great heights and other attacks without sustaining injury.
FLIGHT: Rogue can fly! She's almost as fast as the speed of sound.

SKILLS

THIEVING A byproduct from years running with Remy, Rogue's very good at stealing things, picking locks, cracking safes, that kind of thing.

FLYING The thing about stealing powers and memories from a pilot is you also become a great pilot. She's good at flying planes, now.

GENERAL RESOURCEFULNESS Rogue hasn't ever sat in one place long enough to become a specialist at any one thing. But between her powers and wits, she can get through just about every situation with maximum optimism and minimal preparation.

APPEARANCE

HAIR auburn with a naturally white streak. EYES green HEIGHT 5'8

Rogue gives off the impression she's a cool girl who smokes in the back of class.Trashy? Probably. But in a fun way. She carries herself with languid grace and confidence. She also always seems to know exactly how much personal space someone has, never breaking that bubble. In another world, Rogue would be the draping sort, and she still is prone to slaps on shoulders, comradely squeezes, that kind of thing, but always with more of a measured precision than one might expect.

Rogue's entire wardrobe is shared with Remy, and she wears a lot of bright, colorful shirts as a result, along with colored sunglasses, and she always seems to be in short denim shorts. When there's even an inkling that she might be close enough to touch anyone, so in crowds/airports/missions, though, Rogue covers all the way up and wears a whole ton of turtlenecks and long pants or tights. She has an impressive selection of gloves, and she's rarely seen without them. She tries her best to make a style out of it. Rogue speaks in a Mississippi accent and it's strong. Rogue likes colorful makeup and will never, ever dye the white out of her hair.

REFS: X, X, X

PERSONALITY Rogue on the surface is carefree, easy. She's confident, sure of herself, sounds like she's flirting or making best friends every time she opens her mouth. That's because she thinks it's important to sound awfully approachable when you're actually a poison, toxic person. There's a lot of self-loathing just under the surface, and she can get easily caught in the melancholy of what she thinks of herself as a person, what she's done, and how her powers limit her. She's never quite bought herself as a hero, and is one to make rough moves or decisions if she thinks it's best for her team. Somewhat too eager to make herself the bad guy, and slides towards the morally grey when she thinks she's working for the greater good. Constantly torn between self-deprivation because she's scared of her own potential and want. Most days, she still maintains the optimistic drumbeat that people in the world are good, and worth fighting for.

Rogue's passionate in both her love and temper, and shows people both. Prone to lashing out with both words and fists. She's a little scrappy, and not what anyone would call refined. She's smart enough, in the street-smart kind of way, but she doesn't want to have long drawn-out battles of the wits, she wants to slap someone upside the head for calling them a dumbass and be done with it. That's how she resolves most of her fights; quick to anger, quick to forgiveness. She can certainly hold grudges for what she deems are the right reasons, too. She's tender to others, and is drawn to those who are a little lost or forgotten, and works to bring them up. She knows how that feels.

HISTORY

FAMILY MAMAS (adoptive): Mystique (Raven Darkholme), a shapeshifter and terrorists sometimes associated with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and Destiny (Irene Adler), a powerful precognitive mutant, raised Rogue from the time she was very small. She still loves them both, but she's made it clear she can't be part of their lifestyle. They don't approve of hers right now, either.
PARENTS (BIRTH): Priscilla and Owen, last name unknown to Rogue, because they died or disappeared when she was teeny.
NEW BROTHER? She's recently learned Kurt Wagner is, technically, her adoptive brother. Mystique was his birth mom. Weird situation, but she knows she lucked out.
HUSBAND: Remy LeBeau has been her family long before they made it official in the only legally binding way available at the time.

Born in Caldecott County, Mississippi. Her parents, Priscilla and Owen, were young when they had a daughter. They formed a commune before she was born, and become obsessed with finding a higher level of consciousness. Must've found it, because they and the rest of the members were long gone by the time Rogue was five. She was found by two mutants, all alone in their rotten little swamp house, clutching a shotgun in her chubby little hands. She was from then on adopted and raised by Mystique and Destiny, who had seen her potential and viewed her as their own little daughter, but also terrorist prodigy. She learned how to read and write and all that, but most of her education was more hands-on and violent.

TIMELINE

╳

2011 - AGE 12 Rogue's powers manifested when she was about 12 years old, when she kissed a boy named Cody Robbins, the first boy she had a crush on. To her horror, after only a few moments of kissing, he fell over, unconscious. Rogue found she had all of his thoughts, memories, and abilities. Cody never woke up from his coma. Horrified, Rogue ran back to her parents, who welcomed her properly into the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. That's where she thought she belonged. Wrapped in doubt and self-loathing, she worked with them for the next two years.

╳

2014 - AGE 14/15 On a mission with the Brotherhood, Rogue was instructed to steal a plane from the Air Force. This should have been something easy, and she tried to absorb the powers of the pilot. She ended up getting, permanently, the memories, skills and powers of Carol Danvers, who happened to be flying that plane. Confused and upset, Rogue ran away from her mamas. She ended up in New Orleans trying to steal the same valuable item as a boy, who needed it for the Thieves' Guild. They ended up teaming up instead, and took off across the country as teenage runaway delinquents.

╳

2014-2018 - AGE 15-19 And teenage delinquents they remained for several years, moving from place to place in a shitty Jeep, stealing and scamming as they went. Remy and Rogue's pasts with the Thieves' Guild and the Brotherhood came back to haunt them several times on their journeys, but they always ran away from it just fine.

╳

2018- AGE 19 For fraud and legal reasons, because they each need someone who won't have to testify against them, Remy and Rogue decide to get married. No pomp or circumstance, rather impulsive, but Rogue has a last name for the first time.

╳

2020-2023 - AGE 21-24 The small-time thieving led to big-time thieving. Rogue and Remy spent a lot of time in and out of jails and . They started getting just a little too bold, ending with trying to steal from Mr. Sinister himself, in a misadventure that started with them looking for a solution to control Rogue's powers. It did not go very well, and they become enemies.

╳

2023 - AGE 24 Remy and Rogue are plucked from a jail cell by Kurt Wagner, who Rogue had recently learned is her adoptive brother, and are encouraged to join the X-Men. They do, and participate in their first mission, (X-Tinction Agenda) which proves that while they're perhaps unorthodox, they're assets.

╳

2024 - AGE 25 In December, Charles Xavier goes comatose and is no longer present in his body. The X-Men are divided into two teams for the first time, and Rogue is given a co-leader position along with Remy.

╳

2025 - AGE 25 (26 soon!) Takes to responsibility pretty well but also can weird stuff please stop happening...
