Full Name: Remy Etienne LeBeau…but call him Gambit.
Fandom: POTO, original, other (specify)? Marvel Comics, albeit with a simplified backstory so my head doesn’t explode
Age: 30? People don’t age in comics.
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 170lbs
Build:Rowr Muscular
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown (Sorry, canon. Movie avatar)
Nationality: CAJUN.unf
Job: Adventurer; formerly Professional Thief
Personality: The charming, dashing rogue. You know the type: unscrupulous at times, yet still the good guy, flirtatious. Kiss the girls but not make them cry, likely they’ll just be left with dreamy looks on their faces. The gentleman thief. But he’s on your side, mon ami.
Life Story (as much as you want us to know): Just so your eyes don’t glaze over, I will be using for my canon the tl;dr version—
Remy LeBeau was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was kidnapped from the hospital where he was raised by the LeBeau Clan Thieves' Guild. They referred to the child as "Le Diable Blanc" ("the white devil") and believed he was prophesied to unite the warring Thieves and Assassins Guilds. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of Fagan's Mob, a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery. After living as an orphan on the streets, a 10 year-old Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then patriarch of the Thieves Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy off the streets and adopted him into his own family. Remy's bio-kinetic charging abilities manifested early in his teens, although he kept his powers secret from his family and friends, practicing his powers away from prying eyes. When he was 15, he accompanied his step-brother Etienne Marceaux on his "Tithing", the ritual initiation test of the Thieves Guild. However, it went awry as they were assigned to steal from the powerful immortal mutant Candra, who quickly captured them. Candra recognized Remy from a previous encounter and sold them to the deformed, mutant gangster and child slave trader known as the Pig. Remy used his powers to escape their holding pen, but the physically enhanced Pig quickly caught up to them. Remy discovered his signature attack when he picked up a playing card that Etienne had dropped, charged it and threw it in the Pig's face. Finally escaping his cliff top headquarters by diving into the sea, Remy was ultimately rescued by the Guild; Etienne drowned. In an attempt to reconcile the Thieves and Assassins Guilds, Remy married Belladonna Boudreaux, granddaughter of the head Assassin, whom he met at age 8. Unfortunately, he was challenged by her brother Julien to a duel after the wedding. In the duel, Gambit killed Julien, and he was exiled from the city, ending his relationship with Belladonna.
After wandering around the world, he encountered Storm, and she brought him back to the X-Men. Only Wolverine expressed his doubts about the Cajun, which led to a Danger Room duel between the two. Gambit was able to triumph by using a robotic doppelganger of Lady Deathstrike to distract Wolverine. Their relationship since then has been anything but friendly. Thankfully, Wolverine is the only one he butts heads with at the school, and Remy has made fast friends among Xavier’s team, Logan non-withstanding. As of now, he’s cultivated a flirtatious relationship with Rogue.
Remy was one of the mutants left behind when the others got time-and-space warped, but it seems that now he, too, has wound up in Paris.
((Oh yes, and I'm keeping the whole immune-to-rogue's-funky-touch-powers thing))
