Mutation:
Although Rogue does not have a very complex mutation like many others at the institute or whom are part of the X-Men, she has as powerful a mutation as any and definitely a formidable one. Rogue, as a mutant, is a vampiric power mimic and psionic leech. Through definition of these abilities, it is unfortunate that neither are controlled nor contained by Marie. As Rogue’s powers had just developed within a year or two ago, she hasn’t had much time to learn how to control them and the trauma of their surfacing caused a psychological block with her being able to understand and manipulate her abilities.
With a simple flesh to flesh contact, Marie begins to absorb the memories, personality, and any meta-human or super-human abilities of her contact-held victim or target. The duration of Rogue’s hold determines how much she drains, how long she’ll retain it for, and how much pain and psionic damage is inflicted as a result. The target of Rogue’s grip feels immense psionic pain as she holds, and the longer she does the deeper and sharper the pain becomes – eventually causing her victims to black out, fall into a coma, possibly receive brain damage or as an ultimate result – die. The physical pain felt is mostly a reaction to the brain’s shock of Rogue’s touch and muscles begin to awkwardly spasm and the nervous system therefore goes haywire and the sensation becomes sharper, and much more violent as the duration continues.
Although meta-human and super-human abilities eventually subside and disappear, the memories which Rogue drains along with the personality of her victims eventually becomes dormant within her psyche. Occasionally she can recall these memories and feelings of her victims, both voluntarily and involuntarily; both with an unfortunate psychological handicap to her. Eventually, as Rogue continues to use her power she will gain more and more abilities and personalities within her – and although the belief is that she is a limitless well of possibility; the impact this power will have on her is currently unknown.
The level of power which Rogue absorbs also depends on how long the duration she holds onto the victim for. As a general rule of thumb, for every second Rogue holds onto someone; she’ll gain three minutes of use for their memories, powers, and unfortunate dealing with their personalities. As another general rule of thumb, after a minute of contact with Rogue the violence and potential damage done by her mutation greatly exemplifies to levels where her contact hold is reaching extremely dangerous levels.
Rogue, like the mutants she comes in contact with, does not have immediate control over the mutations she absorbs. If Rogue were to absorb Nightcrawler – she would gain a blue coat of fur over her skin like him, and immediately begin having to understand how to teleport like him. The level of power which she absorbs also changes how quickly she can learn to cope with the powers she has absorbs. In a nut shell, Rogue is like a loose cannon – although she can manipulate many powers and is essentially a limitless well of powerful opportunities; she is not as in control of her powers as she would like to be, or could be.
It still remains unseen if she will ever be able to be involved with skin to skin contact ever again; or what level of recall she may have over absorbed abilities.
Skills:
Rogue is exceptional at playing the piano and received numerous lessons from her mother.
Marie is also capable of driving a car, despite not having a license.
Rogue has also recently become skilled in hand-to-hand American karate.
Personality:
Generally, Marie was your all-American southern girl next door. With her soft, flowing brown hair and rose-blushed cheeks, any boy wouldn’t think twice except to bring this girl home to mother. Coming from the deep fried south of chicken and mashed potatoes, Rogue has always had a comfortable upbringing with caring and gentle-minded people. Never having social issues in school either, life was going just average and enjoyable for the would-be mutant. Although she did not have many friends as a child, Marie would encounter a boy named Cody who in turn would take a liking to Rogue and she had her first boyfriend. Unfortunately, what would happen to Cody changed Marie forever.
Soon after the incident that caused Rogue to run away from home, Marie took to the streets and quickly adapted to learning how to lead life as a criminal. Although what she did was not criminal, in Rogue’s mind she killed her boyfriend. As a result of this trauma and lack of understanding of her powers, Marie shortly grew very introverted, paranoid, and afraid of other people coming into contact with her. According to Marie, everyone that touches her seems to die and everything she comes into contact with seems to crumble. This feeling of depravity and desperation would sadly stick with the southern belle for quite a while.
The trauma of what Marie’s body was going through would soon cause her to run in to a man named Logan, who she quickly saw as a replacement father figure in her life of uncertainty. Finding someone like Marie relieved her feelings that she was a devil-kin freak of nature and some sort of cursed being. The X-Men and Logan would luckily ease Marie into the feeling of being welcomed amongst their mutant community, however, she was very reluctant to let anyone get close to her ever again and begun keeping her feelings inside as a representation of her powers encasing her physically.
Marie’s relationship with Robert Drake, a fellow student at the Academy, would blossom Marie back into the girl she once was. Her spirits lifted, and her morale generally better than ever before; she went into a relationship once more. Unfortunately, memories of Cody kept Marie from physically interacting with Bobby. The general teenage urges would not refrain from Marie, however, and she quickly turned to hating herself for what she was and tried numerous times to push Iceman away. Both of the students, however, would find themselves in the fray against the government and quickly gained support from the X-Men as two of the younger mutants who would become staple members of the team in the future. Unfortunately, Marie wanted nothing to do with being a mutant until she could touch her boyfriend.
As a result of taking the cure, Marie became generally depressed with her decision and Bobby felt himself responsible for the occurrence. Shutting herself out from the world, regretting what she had done, Marie realized that who she was would never change and she would have to cope with it as those before her had to. There was no running from her weaknesses or fears, and the whole situation helped develop Rogue into a much stronger person who became very resilient and stone-skinned towards criticism and adversary. The new Marie was born as a result of her moment of weakness, and with luck, her powers did return as the cure wore off.
With the death of both the Professor and Jean Grey, Rogue has now accepted her place amongst the mutant school and understands although she is both learning her abilities – she needs to be a role model for those below her and carry on the dream which Charles desired more than anything. If it wasn’t for him, she probably would have been much worse off – and Marie will always remember that.
History:
Marie D’Ancanto had the typical, average, American childhood. She did fairly well in her studies up through high school, learned the piano at a young age along with becoming entertained and acquainted with NASCAR. At the age of sixteen, Marie had her first boyfriend by the name of Cody Lange and the two were southern sweethearts. Unfortunately the summer of Rogue going into Junior Year, the time she and Cody were to have their first kiss, was a fatal moment as much as a monumental one for changes in the girl’s life.
Marie and Cody’s kiss resulted in her mutant powers emerging, and the shocking result of such greatly traumatized Marie and put Cody into a coma that he, to this day, has not recovered from. Suddenly feeling the emotions that Cody had, as well as realizing that she finally knew things about her boyfriend that he had never told her it became apparent to Marie that she was the one who had suddenly sent her boyfriend into an epileptic shock. Feeling as if she was some sort of devil-kin, or that she had committed the ultimate crime; Marie took some belongings in a bad, as much cash as she could scrounge up, covered herself head to toe and took a Greyhound bus north to Canada to run.
Unfortunately, her run would be stopped short as she came across a bar with the intentions to re-fuel and possibly find some place to sleep. There, Marie ran into a cage fighter known simply as “Logan” and realizing he was much like her – Rogue stuck to him like glue. Following him around for the evening, he eventually tried to scare her off but Rogue had cought a ride in the back of his truck. Shortly there after, Logan took off and it wasn’t for a while that he realized he had a stowaway.
He shortly allowed her to stay with him, though finding the shy and reserved girl to be a bit of a bore. An attack on their truck would eventually put the two in peril but Charles Xavier’s X-Men by the code name of Storm and Cyclops were there to rescue them both from the Brotherhood’s minions. It would later turn out that Rogue was more important than she thought she was, and many violent battles were fought over her and her powers. Magneto’s great plan was to use Rogue as a conduit for extreme magnetic and mutagenic energy to transfer the baseline population into mutants. Luckily, the X-Men saved the young Rogue and she became part of Xavier’s budding student body at the mansion intended to train mutants much like herself in the control and utility of her mutant abilities.
Unfortunately, life at the Xavier Institute wasn’t the end of adventure or tribulations for the young mutant. Soon, Reverend Stryker would infiltrate the mansion and the students would be forced to go running. It was then when Rogue and her recent boyfriend, Bobby Drake – alias Iceman, would fight alongside Wolverine as junior X-Men. The events of the mutant-like D-Day wherein Magneto and the X-Men would unite to save Xavier made Rogue realize how truly apparent the dangers to mutant kind where. Unfortunately, her classmate Pyro saw things much differently than Marie and Bobby and the two lost a friend, while gaining knowledge and versatility well beyond their years.
The next major event in Rogue’s mutant life would occur shortly thereafter the event when the government began to realize the growing situation surrounding mutants. Scientists of a third party manufactured a cure from a boy whose mutation was to negate mutant powers. As a result of the popularity of the cure, Marie even considered it. While her X-Men friends and student colleagues were all busy with the problems considered from Jean Grey and the cure, Rogue left the mansion to find the cure for herself. Marie ended up taking the cure, out of spite for how Bobby could get close to Kitty and not to Rogue. The stress of the whole situation caused her to push away her mutant powers, and Bobby would later find this out and tell her that it wasn’t what he wanted. Able to finally hold her boyfriend’s hand, Rogue wasn’t sure if the Institute was a place for her anymore but it was the only home she had known.
A few months passed and eventually the effects of the cure wore off for Marie, and she returned to mutant training over her powers. Unfortunately for Marie, her powers returned even more potent than before and due to the strain in her relationship with Bobby as a result of her powers re-emerging, Rogue and Iceman decided to part ways. Depressed over this and other things, Marie would lie low for the next few months at school and stuck mostly to herself. At times, Rogue even considered ending her own life or seeking out the cure once more; but she had decided to remain strong for herself and her friends.
The Chrimera Virus would shortly thereafter break out as well, signaling some of the mansion’s more stronger X-Men and students to go combat the threat of Exodus and a reformed brotherhood in mutant town. Choosing, as often, to stay out of combat; Rogue just wished the best for friends and begun to consider wondering if she even had a place training to be an X-Man; after all, her powers didn’t have very much combat versatility unless she would drain her teammate’s abilities or those of her adversaries along with their memories and personalities. Deciding that it was time to learn something new, Rogue took up American-Style karate and spent the next sixth months training in hand to hand combat.
With only half a year left until graduation, Marie has been considering where to spend the next few years along with what to do with her, as she assumes the X-Men do not have much of an interest in her abilities or strengths for their team. Although she has appreciated her time sent at the Institute, being there reminds her of Bobby and ever since the events of the Cure she simply hasn’t been the same since.
Sample Post:
( From NeXus, where I play Rogue. )
Anne-Marie looked at herself in the mirror of the changing room at the facility; it was a cold and sort of dark room. Rogue tilted her head as she watched her slender silver locks fall to the side with her brown hair as the fluorescent light flicked swiftly. Slowly Rogue shut her eyes, clenching her eye lids closely to her cheeks as an uncomfortable thought floated across her head.
“Jeeze Louise, wha’ am ah doin’ this for… is ih for me? For Remy? Somethin’… someone, give a girl a sign please… “groaned Rogue to herself as she slide her forehead up against the changing room mirror and slowly breathed in to herself before quickly regaining her posture and composure. Nimbly the woman slid the patient’s gown over her body and walked out of the changing room into the laboratory where Dr. Agee was waiting for her.
“Ready?” Smirked the coy doctor as he motioned towards the towering machine.
“Fer wah? Oh… righ’, sorry. Yah.. yah, jus… jus give me a moment please…” Rogue’s complexion faded a bit as she neared the mutant de-powering machine.
All Rogue could hear was the insensible whirling of the machine’s insides and the static jumping off the edges of the monstrosity. It resembled a CT scan on the inside but looked like a nuclear reactor on the outside. Dr. Agee was some man she saw on television who promised a cure to the mutant epidemic and said it was actually quite simple. With one last sinking gulp Rogue sat on the bed of the machine and laid back; prepared to let it take her.
“Good. Now just relax, and when we’re done you can slap me silly if you’d like.” Dr. Agee chuckled, thinking himself as good as the next stand up for the weekend’s Saturday Night Live.
“Yah, ah sure damn will.” Anne’s green eyes glared right at him, not knowing whether she should thank or despise the man in front of her.
Rogue finally realized that she was a fool this whole time. No man was worth giving her self dignity up for. Pride. What is pride?! She was about to stop her life right there in her tracks and throw away everything she has ever known about herself. She’s a fighter, she is no wuss. What were all of those months and years worth fighting for? The Siege Perilous? Being an X-Man? Ending Carol Danver’s mental existence? Cody? All of these things would be put to vain if she ended her mutant abilities right here. Anna-Marie was a good person and she knew that. She was someone who upheld the dream of Charles Xavier, and this right here certainly was not his dream.
“Here we go, sweet cheeks.” Agee grinned, and then his face dropped. “WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”
“Wha’ ah shoulda done the moment ah walked in here, ‘sweet cheeks’”. Rogue rolled off the reclining bed in the medicine gown and glared right at the roly poly geneticist.
Turning around she leaped up in the air, hovering a few feet off the ground. Screaming out in rage the X-woman dived forcefully into the machine as she began to punch and slam at the reactor-like gene diffuser. Her anger, her rage, the pent up feelings of guilt all came out as she beat the inatimate structure to scrap metal. All of the hard work that Agee had put into his creation was going to pot right in front of him as Rogue fought the righteous fight and destroyed the reactor so it could never be used again.
“Mistah Ahgee, you havetah understand - if ah let you do this ta me, you’d let it be done tah others. Ah am an X-man, an’ this here ain’t tha dream of Charles Xavier. Ah am the dream of Charles Xavier.” With that, Rogue let herself drop to the ground as she headed back towards the changing room.
“GET OUT YOU FREAK!” Spat the angry Dr. Agee.
“Ah do apologize for wha ah’ve done to your machine, but ah couldn live with maself if ah let it go like that.” Rogue turned around, a tear running down her right cheek as she headed back to the changing room to get her clothes. She would find another way to be able to love Remy, she would find another way to transcend her torture. This was not worth it, it was the easy way out - and Rogue isn’t a quitter.
