Bamf
Name/Username: Gambit
Alias: John Summers/ Remy LeBeau
Species: Mutant
Team/Alliance: Loner
Powers/Abilities: Gambit possesses the ability to manipulate kinetic energy as well as limited hypnosis. He is also skilled in burglary, the use of a bo, card throwing, and hand-to-hand combat.
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1
Sexuality: Straight
Marital Status: Single
Relatives: Scott and Alex Summers
Personality: He's a loner by nature, prefering to help himself rather than others. Proud of what and who he is, despite the hardships faced in his youth, he has the bad habit of keeping people at a distance. That's not saying he doesn't have his softer side. Gambit is a self-described ladies' man and rarely passes up the chance to chat with a lovely young girl. Every so often he'll help someone, but whether it's to benifit himself or just out of good will, no one but Gambit knows.
Biography: Born as John Summers, he had a hard childhood. Much of it was spent in an orphanage where he and his brothers were eventually taken from by Mr. Sinister. He had no memory of what his life had been like before the ophanage so he only had Sinister's story about their father to go on. After a year or so of being subjected to Sinister's tests, he escaped and headed south.
John spent several years in New Orleans where he changed his name to Remy LeBeau. He was taken in by a master theif who taught him the art of stealing. When he'd learned all he could, he took to traveling the world. Remy, now calling himself Gambit, started studying martial arts and perfecting several other skills.
He's worked with several different mutant teams over the years which makes it difficult to figure out where his true loyalties lie. Truthfully, Gambit's loyalties lie with no one but himself. He still moves around often, the cajun accent he picked up in New Orleans becoming more muddied with every different place he visits.
He still thinks about his brothers sometimes, wondering what happened to them after he left. He's not worried or even curious enough to seek them out, though.
Inventory: Extendable bo staff, a deck of clear plastic playing cards. various tools for entering locked buildings (lock picks and such), and his long brown coat are what he normally has on him.
Appearance: Gambit regards himself as quite the looker. Shoulder-length brown hair is often left to fall into his face. He has an athletic sort of build, well-toned from years of martial arts training. He's muscular, but incredibly flexible and agile. His eyes are odd in the way they always seem to be glowing a bright red.
He always has a sense of movement to him, even when standing perfectly still. He gives off the feeling that he could spring into action or something with barely a second of thought. His posture is often a lazy, yet confident stance. Don't let that fool you, his reflexes are exceptionally quick. He could fling a card at you before you could blink.
He has a slight southern/cajun accent, but occasionally it's tinged with traces of other countries.
