Brief History:
Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves' Guild who referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil. They believed he was the child that had been prophesied to unite the warring Guilds. Soon after, Remy was placed in the care of a gang of street thieves who raised the child and taught him the ways of thievery.
Later, when he was around ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, then-patriarch of the Thieves’ Guild. Jean-Luc took the boy in off the streets and adopted him into his own family. As part of a peace pact between the Thieves’ Guild and their rivals, the Assassin’s Guild, a marriage was arranged between Remy and Bella Donna Boudreaux, the granddaughter of the head of the Assassin's Guild. However, Bella Donna's brother Julien objected to the marriage and challenged Gambit to a duel. Remy killed Julien in self-defense, but was excommunicated and banished from New Orleans in an attempt to maintain the nonaggression pact between the two guilds.
Remy wandered the world as he plied his skills as a master thief, aided by his mutant power to charge objects with explosive energy. He employed playing cards he charged with kinetic energy as his trademark weapon. At one point Remy had approached the master geneticist Mr. Sinister for help in controlling his powers. Sinister removed some of Remy's brain tissue to reduce his power levels, thus affording him a greater degree of control. As a result, Remy was now in the geneticist's debt, and Sinister subsequently charged the thief with assembling the team of assassins called the Marauders. Remy did not realize that Sinister would employ the Marauders to massacre the underground mutant community known as the Morlocks. Seeing the horrific results of his actions, Remy attempted to stop the massacre but was almost killed by the Marauder named Sabretooth. However, he did manage to save one young Morlock girl who would one day grow up to become the X-Man named Marrow.
Eventually, Remy encountered Storm, a member of the outlaw team of mutant adventurers known as the X-Men. Storm had been transformed into an amnesiac child who had turned to theft as a means to survive. Remy helped her escape her enemy, the malevolent psionic entity known as the Shadow King, and they became partners. Later, when the X-Men's founder Professor Charles Xavier returned from a long period of traveling in outer space, Storm sponsored Remy's admission into the X-Men. Remy soon fell in love with his fellow X-Man, Rogue, blessed and cursed with the ability to absorb other mutants' thoughts and abilities through skin-on-skin contact. The feeling was mutual, but the two soulmates were condemned never to touch. At one point, Rogue left the X-Men after she kissed Remy and absorbed a portion of his memories, learning of his role in the Morlock Massacre.
Remy was subsequently captured and brought before a mock trial held by Magneto, the mutant master of magnetism, then disguised as Erik the Red. He was summarily cast out of the X-Men and was abandoned in the frozen wastes of Antarctica. Starving to death, Remy made his way back into Magneto's citadel where he came upon the psionic essence of a dead mutant named Mary Purcell. The wraith-like Mary bonded with him, allowing him to survive until he reached the Savage Land, a hidden jungle nestled in the icy wasteland. There, Remy struck a deal with the enigmatic being known as the New Sun. In exchange for passage back to America, Remy agreed to run errands for the New Sun.
Remy returned home and encountered the X-Men again when he attempted to steal the fabled Crimson Gem of Cyttorak for his new employer. He agreed to return to the team, mainly for his self-respect and for his love for Rogue. However, Mary began to threaten Remy and his friends if he didn't agree to stay with her forever. When the X-Men finally found out about Mary, the wraith fled with Remy to her old hometown, where she tried to force him to merge with her and become a new type of hybrid lifeform. While Remy wrestled with her, Rogue charged in with a containment unit, which ultimately dispersed Mary.
During a trip back in time, Remy's powers were restored to their maximum potential by Sinister and he was able to utilize them to return to the present. Soon after his return, Remy served for a time as patriarch of the Thieves' Guild in his father's stead, as well as leading one of two teams of X-Men. Remy was also responsible for the unification of the Thieves' and Assassins' Guilds into the Unified Guild, of which he also served briefly as patriarch.
Meanwhile, the New Sun revealed his true nature after organizing an assassination game for a cadre of super-powered mercenaries with Remy as the target. When Remy took the fight back to the New Sun, he was shocked to learn that the New Sun was actually an alternate reality version of himself. In his own reality, the New Sun's kinetic charging powers had flared out of control, burning the world and killing everyone. As a result, the New Sun hunted down and killed versions of himself in other realities to ensure that they would not repeat his mistakes. During their final battle, Remy burned out his enhanced powers to defeat the New Sun, ending his threat and returning his powers to their normal level.

Was This Character Held for You?: No
Writing Sample: include one third person sample ; ambit ducked, dodging out of the way of flying debris. He pulled out a card from his pocket, charging it he tossed it into the direction of…..well he was still trying to figure out what this was exactly that had decided to attack him.
He dodged behind another headstone, “Ya wan’ to take a little stroll in a New Orleans cemetery and something’ attacks you,” The Cajun muttered, he dug around in his pockets, producing five cards, he focused the energy on them, watching them glow red then chunked them with fine tuned accuracy into the creatures eyes from over the headstone. The thing roared in pain and scouted wildly for Gambit.
He maneuvered around it, pulling out his bo-staff, hitting the thing between the legs, he turned swiftly, charging up the staff then slamming it into it’s back, “Looks like de odds are against your favor mon ami,” he said, watching it fall over. As he turned towards the exit of the cemetery, he didn’t notice the creature getting up. He heard the footsteps and turned, “Do you guys never give up?” he grabbed a concrete angel from a headstone, charged it, and threw it at it’s head, it blink stupidly and charged Remy, he looked over towards the massive mausoleums again, then took off down the rows , hearing the creature behind him crashing into the structures like they were dominoes.
He measured the odds, he could stay here, fight this thing, which would probably lead to something getting broken, and he wasn’t referring to the burial tombs, or he could run, hide in one of the older ones, wait for the thing to pass, then jump the grated fence and high tail it out of here.
“Hn…” he said under his breath, thinking. He paused, looking back, the thing glared into Remy’s red eyes, still charging after him. Diving behind a tomb, he watched as it ran past apparently blind to the Cajun hiding. “Well, dat was easy” he ran to the back behind the line of burial plots and climbed up the fence, jumping over the top and getting out of there.

Character Information
Name: Remy “Gambit” LeBeau
PB: Taylor Kitsch
Fandom: X-men
Age: late 20’s
Personality: Gambit is cocky and a self-proclaimed lady’s man. He’s charming, witty, and is intelligent in both mental and street smarts. He can be sneaky and dirty when he has to be . He’s the archetype of a loner rogue, he’s smooth, quick-witted and sarcastic. Also the Cajun charm is just an added bonus to Gambit. His confidence has been known to get him in trouble with both enemies and ladies he’s tried to woo in the past ( he once had two women pissed at him at the same time, not a very good idea on his part).
Powers:
He also has powers that give him the ability to charge objects (preferably playing cards) with kinetic energy. He’s well trained in the use of a bo-staff as well as fencing and general dueling.
History until they come :
Abandoned at birth due to his burning red eyes, the child who would one day become Remy LeBeau was kidnapped from his hospital ward by members of the New Orleans Thieves' Guild who referred to the child as "le diable blanc" - the white devil.
