The Details

Body Type: Remy has a naturally slim built backed with a strong core, and lean muscle on his limbs. His arms and legs have been built by Remy's choice of career, and his core through the mistakes of said career.

Wardrobe: Remy always dresses with elegance and class for any situation he may be in, with the belief that "no suit is not comfortable for any situation." Remy has a wide array of formal wear, but the two things that stand out in his wardrobe is that they all have a sort of purple color scheme, and that Remy wears a thick trench-coat over them. While the coat may seem innocent, the interior is layered with protective padding, and the pockets contain Remy's cards for easy release.

Costume: Remy's costume is the leather armor that Remy wears under his wardrobe. While the team would wish he wore the X-Men colors, he compromised with the team and wears the X-Men logo as his belt buckle while he wears his formal attire. Aside from the extra protective pads on his chest and legs, there is no outstanding difference between his Costume and his wardrobe.

Posture: Remy's posture varies to the company he keeps. In a cast of primarily female companions, Remy can be seen carrying himself with suave, romantic aura around him. With just a pinch of mystery to entice and bait women. With men he is much like a typical rouge, with a constant poker face, with a posture that just assumes to worse from a person.

Personality:Remy is... complicated, but then again the same can be said for a lot of people. Remy often or not doesn't really express his true personalty, but rather portrays the personalty people expect to see from him. When they look at the Cajun thief and expect a two-timing, backstabbing pickpocket, he will be shady, and leave you to your own interpretation of him. He won't go out of his way to correct you. However, if you allow Remy the benefit of the doubt you can see the deeper side to Remy. The side of him that is deeply passionate to his friends, the part of him that wants nothing more to teach and be a team player.

But of course his other half gets in the way.

Remy by nature is a kleptomaniac, he likes to steal things and pick people's pockets to constantly challenge himself and his abilities. (Don't worry he tends to give people back the things he steals if he likes the person enough) To Remy, he just see's it as a game to improve his abilities and help teach people better methods to avoid theft, however it is often an invasion of privacy.

Remy considers himself his own worst enemy. He is constantly in the search to do good in the world and strives to improve himself as a person, however his own morality is conflicted with his personal interest for wealth, when Remy does something good, people expect it to have Remy to have some sort of motive behind it that isn't genuine. While sometimes it may be true but when it comes to Remy trying to be honest it takes a lot to have them believe the truth. Truly a boy who cried wolf complex.

To say Remy enjoys the company of women would be an understatement. His views on relationships and love are very loose. Being a married man himself he doesn't see the point of being tied down to just one person physically. If Remy feels the desire or the urge to pursue a relationship with a woman that is not his wife you're damn right he will pursue it. He rarely grows romantic feelings for a specific woman. If he ever does, he usually ends up subconsciously sabotaging it by flat out admitting his infidelity.

It takes a lot to ground Remy to loyalties or responsibilities, but when he is rooted somewhere like the X-Men he is fiercely loyal to them. Due to his nature, and the tales told about him, he doesn't have people lining up to be his friend but those who align themselves with Remy tend to get Remy's signature loyalty. A man willing to risk it all, for his friends. The ultimate gambit.

As his code name implies, Remy is an avid fan of gambling, he enjoys pretty much any sort of card game, or any game that involves risking money. It is a part of Remy's nature to be a risk taker, and quite frankly, a gambler. Much like a gambler, Remy is able to hide his true feelings under a clear cut facade. If he feels stressed, nervous, or scared he would often crack a joke, to settle his nerves. The same goes for whenever he is given the third degree on his intentions or his past.

Turn Ons: Gambling, card games, wine, jazz music, romance movies.

Turn Offs: Killing, Racism, hard rock music, stern sticks in the mud, and rude men.

Worst Secret: The fact that he is still legally married to his wife is Remy's worst secret. However being a man of deception and lies, this is just one of the several secrets hiding in the mind of Remy LeBeau
Character Goals:
**Two year Goal - Get divorced
**Five year Goal - Still be alive after said divorce.

So... got any cool powers?
Powers and Abilities

Genetic Mutation:
Remy LeBeau's mutation lies into his ability to accelerate molecular activity. Remy can take an objects potential energy and "charge" it into Kinetic energy. When the object has too much kinetic energy, it tends to end with an explosion. The size of the explosion and the amount of kinetic energy an object has all depends on the overall mass of the object in question. Remy can charge objects as small as lug nuts, or even something as large as a bus.

Although it takes time to charge varying objects. For example, his playing cards can be charged in a matter of a second while something much larger like his motorcycle can take a minute to charge fully. While objects like cards can detonate with the force of a grenade, bigger objects tend to have detonations that can level houses. In order to charge an object, he has to be in direct skin contact with the object in question and focus on channeling the potential energy into kinetic energy.

Once the object is charge it glows with a purple hue with a humming sound which its loudness depends on the mass of the object charged. The charged object becomes hazardous to the touch, once it is released from Remy's touch, it will explode on contact with the next thing it physically touches. Along with channeling potential energy, Remy can also accelerate kinetic energy in a object. The best example of this is when he charges his bo staff with his mutation he has the power to plow through heavy metal doors with a max charge.

Remy can also accelerate his body's own energy. Doing this allows Remy superhuman levels of agility. With concentration on his body he can move at speeds of that of a human at peak human ability, and leap several feet in the air. However accelerating his body also accelerates his metabolism and tires him out much faster.

Due to the nature of his mutation, his brain's potential energy is always in motion. Creating a "static effect" to Telepaths. The static allows him to be undetectable by Telepaths and cause them a deal of mental pain by invading his mind. In addition to his, Remy has learned tricks and techniques to annoy telepaths by being able to think while his subconscious projects mindless thoughts by playing poker in his head, and counting cards.

If Remy can get into direct contact with a person, he can subtly charge a person's brain waves and allow him a "hypnotic charm" of sorts. Using this, he can have people agree with him and confess to him things that normally they would not say to the Cajun. While it appears to be a form of empathy it is simply just Remy playing with the activity in one's brain.

Weaknesses:

Remy of course has limits to his ability on things he can charge, and what he can charge. Remy for instance can not charge liquids. This can apply to liquid filled objects like water bottles, while Remy may be able to charge the bottle itself, the water will not be charged and will not add to the total potential energy in the bottle. Remy also can not charge biological things like people or animals. Or at least to the point where they explode. (That would be way too messy)

While Remy's Telepathic static effect are more annoying then anything, high class telepaths can still invade Remy's mind and find their way through Remy's mental blocks.Remy's hypnotic charm can easily be defeated by knowing Remy is toying with your brain. If you remove the subtly it is worthless and can't be used again.

Perhaps more of a personalty trait more than anything, but Remy is a shameless kelptomaniac. Despite even his own good intentions and his personal feelings for a person, he constantly faces temptation to test and hone his abilities as a thief from stealing from his friends. While most of the things he lifts from his friends are something small like Sunglasses, or keys, and even returns them later, it puts people at a distance from the Cajun, and makes trusting him in the long run all the more difficult.

Learned Abilities: and foremost, Remy is a master thief. His agility, balance, and hand-eye ability allows him access to any building and pass through even the most advance security systems. He also knows how to pick locks, crack safes, and tinker with security cameras to erase any footage they may have had of him.

Through years of training, Remy is a master marksmen with a wide array of small throwing weapons. While he is a master marksmen with practical and conventional throwing weapons such as knives, bolas, and grenades, Remy prefers to throw weapons he can charge like his throwing cards or other junk items he can turn into a deadly weapon.

Remy is of course, a skilled martial artist. Being well trained in French kickboxing, and Bojutsu, the art of using a Bo staff. While simple in practice, in addition to his enhanced agility and movements he is widely seen as one the best hand to hand fighters from the South.

Remy is also fluent in English and French. So much so, he has actually proven to be a talented teacher when it comes to teaching youth French. Remy also has a rough understanding of Japanese though he isn't fluent in it like he is French and English.

Resources: A Telescopic bo-staff, his Japanese Import Speed bike, and several decks of assorted cards to charge.

Education: Remy has no formal education or public degrees. However he is thinking about obtaining a GED

So why not tell them the Truth Charles?
The History

Remy LeBeau, is an orphan... sort of. When Remy was born in a hospital in New Orleans, his black and red eyes not only scared his parents but the idea of raising a mutant frightened them. So naturally they acted as if the birth never happened by dumping their child into the streets of the city, he was not even given the satisfaction of having a name. Being a nameless, child, Remy quietly survived in the streets of New Orleans. He first began begging and pleading for change and food, whatever he could get his hands on.

When begging wasn't bringing in enough to get him by, the young Cajun started to become more desperate. He began to watch thieves and pick-pockets on the streets, he watched the way they moved, the way the talked, he learned everything about pick-pocketing from a distance, and by the age of 7 he was already stealing to survive. He learned how to even take food right off the plate of the outside eaters with ease. Remy continued living off the table scraps and the pocket change of the people around him till the day he turned 10, and tried to steal from a man known as Jean-Luc LeBeau.

Or better known as the leader of the Thieves Guild.

After successfully stealing from the leader of the Thieves Guild, Jean-Luc was more then impressed with Remy's abilities as a child. After a bit of searching, he confronted the young boy, and adopted him to become his child. Ironically, he even made the adoption legal and gave the young boy the name, Remy LeBeau. Once legally adopted, Jean-Luc quickly raised Remy like he was his own. Helping Remy hone his abilities as a thief and training him in martial arts. Little did Remy know that Remy's training and his life as LeBeau was for one sole purpose, it was to unify the Thieves Guild and the Assassin's Guild.

At first, Remy was against the idea of a fixed marriage. He didn't want to be locked into a marriage as soon as he turned 18. Remy wanted to see the world, he wanted adventure, he wanted excitement. Well that was all until he met the woman he was marrying. However, when he discovered the woman he was marrying was childhood friend, Bella-Donna Boudreaux. He would keep his objections silent until the wedding. Remy was in love, and perhaps even still in love with Bella-Donna.

Their wedding went on according to plan, Remy was nervous about being betrothed at an early age, but if he had to do it with anyone, he was just happy it was someone like Bella, who would accept him for his lifestyle. Well sadly, this storybook wedding didn't end exactly to plan. Bella-Donna's brother challenged Remy for the right to rule the unified guilds. While the duel wasn't to the death Remy's mutation caused him to kill Bella's brother in the duel. After the fight, Remy had no choice but to be excommunicated and banished from New Orleans. He was never allowed to see his wife again and can never step foot into New Orleans.

Left without a home and a family once again, Remy traveled across the globe in search of adventure and the thrill that came with being without responsibility. He became a freelance thief for high ranking government officials. You needed some awful pictures of you and your Mistress taken away by your black mailer? No problem, you needed a rare book that is not up for sale? No problem. Remy was in and out, no questions asked.

Remy's life changed for the better when he was 23 years old. He traveled to Westchester to steal some documents from the Xavier Institute. What Remy was expecting to be a quick in and out heist turned into a fight for his life against what turned out to be a school for mutants. The two fought to a standstill, and instead of turning him in to the authorities, Remy was giving a better alternative, to join the X-Men. Seeing as his choices were to spend the rest of his life in a international high security prison, or live in a mansion with fellow mutants, Remy picked the obvious choice.

All schools have tests.
Sample Post

Remy had to snicker at the mention of women's intuition, Remy normally wasn't one to undermine, or underestimate, but women's intuition was just a load of crap. Remy grew up in a business that required intuition, and the idea that women have some sort of psychological edge over men was just absurd. That goes without saying that their are women out there who are faster, stronger, smarter, and much more cunning than most men, but women's intuition was just simply logic, some women had it, and some others did not. The women that fell for Remy's charms lacked that edge, and the ones that don't, do.

Unfortunately for Remy, he was dealing with a women who did have that edge.

Remy kept those thoughts to himself though, knowing with someone as proud as Jubilee would simply just be hazardous to the Cajun's health. Remy however simply smiled and nodded his head. However the next words from Jubilee's sweet lips stung Remy quite a bit. Not that the Cajun would let it show, but he definitely needed to be in his two cents into the matter. The words slid out of Remy's mouth like smoke. "Oh chérie, you could not be anymore right, but then why will not give the Cajun a chance? What more do I need to do to prove Remy be a changed man?" Remy then let out a chuckle as another retort came to mind released it to the poor soul. "Besides, Remy can't imagine a perfect future without seeing your smiley face everyday." In a different context, maybe in the honest emotional context Remy felt about how his peers saw him, maybe those words could have meant different, however not even Gambit could prevent Gambit from giving the complete truth.

Remy then grinned from ear to ear, perfect, Jubilee allowed Gambit a chance to at least spend more time to win her over. Even if this motorcycle ride wasn't going to get into her pants, the worst that can happen is that she could be one of the few people in the school not to give him any sneer or distrusting looks. Well at least Remy can hope. Remy pulled out the keys to his bike, and said with a genuine "P'tite you don't mind helmet hair do yeah? I mean, Remy thinks no matter what'cha done with your hair it'll look astonishing." The two then exited the coffee store and to the parking lot in the back, where Remy's classic, purple, classic American bike. Remy turned it on from the Key chain and hopped onto it, grabbing the helmet that rested on the seat and held it out to Jubilee. "Someone's gotta wear it chérie."
