Character Age: 16
PB: Anna Paquin
Affiliation: X-men
Powers:
Rogue possesses the ability to absorb psyches and abilities of individuals (or even several people at the same time). She can also absorb memories, knowledge, talents, personality, and other physical abilities (whether or not they are mutant or human). She is able to do this through skin to skin contact with them. Overall it takes 60 seconds of skin contact for her to absorb something. In the amount of time that Rogue has taken them the victims will lose it in the same time. When Rogue loses them, the victim will regain whatever it is she took. Often during this period of time, it will leave the victim unconscious and weak.

If Rogue holds on to her victim for a long time, the transfer of powers, memories, etc. Will become permanent; leaving the victim nearly dead. Unfortunately this happens the majority of time Rogue has ever used her powers.

Unfortunately there are many risks with this power. Rogue cannot control when she can and cannot use her powers. This is why she always wears long gloves. She is always extra cautious when coming in close contact with people. She is in constant fear that she might possibly kill someone. Besides the obvious fears of coming into contact she also has the risks when absorbing. When taking the total psyche of a person there is a chance for their personality enveloping Rogue’s and attempt to take over her body. Also, even though she often forgets the memories of the victims often times there are ‘echos’ or remnants of these memories. Causing her to have nightmares and sometimes random spurts where she accidently held onto a person’s personality trait for a while. It seems that often these things remain buried in her subconscious indefinitely.

Personality:
At a glance Rogue can seem a bit standoffish and cynical but there is a lot more to her than that.
Due to her powers Rogue has spent a good amount of her life trying to not get too close to others physically. Though this resulted in her not get close to others emotionally as well. She does like to be with people but she tends to only stick with her small group of friends. When she first meets people she is rather quiet and to herself. She is used to being betrayed and look down on, causing her to not easily trust people. Though there are some she trusts (such as Logan and Kurt) but it does take her a while to completely warm up to others. She is not one to reveal her past. Partially she is a bit ashamed for letting herself fall with Mystique so easily but also she tends to keep personal things private. She wishes to be close to people with every fiber of her being. But her power prevents her to have the opportunities to do so. Because of this she hasn’t had any concrete relationships with boys; though she still develops crushes, they tend to hurt her more than the normal girl.

Though Rogue used to be a bit optimistic and upbeat before her powers, she is not as whole-heartedly optimistic, but rather it depends on the situation that determines her mood toward it. Though she tends to have a darker mood on things she still tries her best to remain open to things and experiences. She does not want to completely shut herself out from the rest of the world. Though she does need to make sure everyone is safe from her touch, she still wants to be with them.

Overall Rogue is honest and has a dry sense of humor. She can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Though it may take her a bit to warm up to a person she is always there for them and cares deeply for them. She is very loyal and does her best to be a friend. True she can be dark at times but she always means well.


Scene Examples:
Narrative after using powers:
Rogue leaned back for a moment, resting her head on the side of the cold tub. Honestly if this is how bad a hangover felt she was sure she was never going to get drunk anytime soon. She was begining to feel better and she noticed through her talks with Bobby and John that her personality was starting to come back to her. Though she now learned how to say fuck in three languages as well as 7 other obscene words she hadn't heard of before. As if that'll ever do Rogue any good. She hardly ever cussed let alone did anything she wasn't supposed to.

Rogue rubbed her temples and fought the urge to punch the headache out of her. She hoped that it had something to do with the hangover rather than the guy. If only he wasn't so drunk...then it wouldn't be as big of a deal. She didn't even want to know what Logan was thinking of the whole situtaion. If the news of their missing had gotten to the other students already she was sure he had to have known by now. Well... he did say that he wanted her to get out more didn't he? So she fucked up and used her powers...it wasn't like she could control it...he had to know how much she hated using them...though now all she wanted to do was keep herself hidden from the rest of the world. She shook her head trying to get rid of those thoughts only to immediately regret it. She made herself stand up and thought perhaps John's banana milkshake sweetened with honey could work. He did seem experienced in such things anyway.

She began to walk down the stairs, using the railing for support when she heard a noise in the kitchen. Before she could even go through the door and focus on what was happening whoever was inside had already left. She decided to shrug it of. That sort of thing tended to happen in the institute; and instead went to grab the blender and a couple of bananas. Though the second she peeled the banana the smell made her stomach churn and she just threw it to the side and ran upstairs before she could make a mess. Though since she hadn't eaten much that day and there was no alcohal in her to get rid of, she ended up just succeding in dry-heaving. Groaning, Rogue dragged herself to her bed and just fell on top of it, not caring anymore.

As she tried to make herself relax she thought about Bobby and John. John confused her. He seemed to not be her biggest fan, but when the guy was going after her he got inbetween them and defended her. Though Rogue chalked that up to the fact that he probably just liked bar fights. Or something like that. As for Bobby he seemed rather nice. The polar opposite of John was quite obvious. Though she thought something more was there. Rogue wondered though if she would get to hang out with them again soon anyway. She did bitch at Bobby all the way back to the institute, granted she didn't mean half of what she said, but she certainly made a bad enough impression on them. If she were them she would ditch herself in a heartbeat. If anything Rogue felt like she was more of a hassle to them than a possible friend. Or it could be the fact that she was too busy beating up on herself at the moment. Either way she didn't think they would like her that much after how much trouble she helped bring on them.

Rogue rolled over onto her side and forced herself to go to sleep. Perhaps she would go away for a bit...she hadn't of been back home in a long time. There were still some things she left unfinished. Coming up with a decision to leave for a couple of weeks Rogue finally drifted off to sleep.
