Cajun Gumbo (Gambit)

[Jacksbonnielass]

"Remy LeBeau has always been the outsider, orphaned at birth, he was adopted by the legendary Theives Guild of New Orleans who often shunned him because of his strange burning eyes. Eventually he realized he is a mutant-- gifted at birth with the ability to charge inanimate objects with explosively released biokietic energy, he's charming, he's deadly, the most mysterious X-Men of all GAMBIT"



"It has been awhile, since I laid eyes on my N'awlins, granted dere was the little problem 'a bein' thrown out f'killing mah Bella's brother, but that's just a technical problem, they need Gambit now, more den anything"

Things haven't looked good for the Thieves Guild. Remy Lebeau, adopted son of Jean Luc, hasn't been back for awhile, and now a mysterious force is working it's way through the Thieves Guild, and now through the Assassins Guild, it's up to Remy to find out what it is. But where is New Orleans hero when she needs him? He's in New York, on a break from the X-Men, his powers strengthening back from too much stress. But what will happen when someone from his past shows up? With bad news about the one place that has held his heart the most?

So this is something I've thought over for awhile, haha plus I miss Rping my Cajun on forums. If you've read all his comics, you know his background, but this I guess is sort of if Belladonna hadn't been in acoma and such, idk ,it popped in my head. Anyone interested?

Remy "Gambit" Etienne LeBeau: Me
Belladonna Beaudeaux:Me
Jean Luc LeBeau (Gambit's father):Aparna
Mercy LeBeau (Gambit's sister-in-law):
Marius Beaudeaux (yes he's alive in this, Bella's dad):
Rogue: Aparna
Villian (he who is causing chaos):
any other X-Men who might be of importance in this:

that's about it, this is open and I really want people who know the characters or are willing to know them, like really know them. I also had this idea of conflict between Remy,Bella, and Rogue, like romantic conflict. As far as the Villian goes, he can be an OC or a character from the comics. I sort of took this from my short time in Ultimatium when we decided there was problems in New Orleans, and went with it as a different plot.

anyone interested ^_^? Gambit's info will be up soon

[boo radley]

Yay! Gambit! *misses you*

[Jacksbonnielass]

Personality: Gambit is cocky and a self-proclaimed lady’s man. He’s charming, witty, and is intelligent in both mental and street smarts. He can be sneaky and dirty when he has to be . He’s the archetype of a loner rogue, he’s smooth, quick-witted and sarcastic. Also the Cajun charm is just an added bonus to Gambit.

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.

Yay!

Name: Anna Marie



Mutant Name: Rogue
Age: 21
What She Doesn't Know:
Apparently her powers never progressed to their full, which is why they often hurt anyone she touches (in a later comic book, Professor X fixes this).
Powers:
Can absorb powers and memories by having contact with skin, which often gets in the way of any relationship; if contact with skin lasts for too long she can render a person unconscious.

Mutant Level: Gamma
Marital Status: Single


Question - so when exactly is this story taking place? Before Rogue brings in that army to stop Mary? Or... I'm so confused haha

[Jacksbonnielass]

^ sorta spun off the Gambit comic series, A little after the time Rogue steals Belladonna's memories to see what it feels like to be in Remy's arms and thus ends with Bella loosing all her memories of Gambit, and after Belladonna has the job to hunt Remy down. And the setting is going to start in New York then end up in New Orleans, then the Bajou's if we get it going that long.

I'm confused myself I figured we're good enough to just wing it and see how it goes. So it's sort of a spin-off to the comics, a story unto it's own. If that helps

[boo radley]

That really does I'm so excited! So Rogue and Gambit are already in a relationship, I take it?

I'm making some Gambit and Rogue graphics, separate and together, if you want them

[Jacksbonnielass]

yes they are, then throwing Belladonna into the mix would make it interesting. If we can get anyone to play her *gives everyone on the forum a kicked-puppy look*

[boo radley]

yes! I would be so happy if a Belladonna showed up haha we should PM the X-crazed fans here.

[Jacksbonnielass]

we should ^_^
