ADVANTAGES:

AMBIDEXTROUS - Remy is equally capable of performing any task with either hand from writing to rolling dice and acts of slight of hand. This means that Remy will be able to perform tasks just as well with one hand injured.

ATTRACTIVE - Remy has a habit of turning heads where ever he goes, regardless of how he may appear, he's just damn attractive. As someone once said, "as infuriating and arrogant as Gambit can be, those eyes, that grin, the body, it takes a girl's breath away."

CHARISMATIC - Remy just seems to have that special magnetic charm or appeal about him. There is something about Remy that people just can't seem to resist, allowing him to influence others in a positive manner. Positive in his eyes, at least. It can be difficult to not be swept up by Gambit's relaxed charm.

BALANCE - Remy can run across ropes or rails, stand on top of posts, effortlessly climb ropes and can easily recover from being thrown. As a generator of bio-kinetic energy, Remy has physiological attributes adapted to constant movement.

CONFIDENT - Remy possesses an untouchable air of superiority that makes others instinctively realize he's in control. He sometimes comes off as cocky, but his confidence can otherwise be a comforting presence in stressful situations.

POWERS:

BIO-KINETIC ENERGY CHARGE - Remy has the ability to charge objects with a volatile kinetic energy. The object then explosively releases its charge on impact or after a controlled amount of time. The larger the object is, the more time it takes to charge. The charge must be imparted through contact and only non-organic matter is affected.

ADAPTED PHYSIOLOGY – As a generator of bio-kinetic energy, Remy developed enhanced physical qualities as he matured, adapted specifically for movement. This has resulted in his speed, agility, reflexes, endurance, flexibility, and balance being pushed to the limit of natural human capacity. As Remy is still developing his skills, he isn't quite up to his capabilities.

STATIC INTERFERENCE – Remy’s charge emits a static interference that protects him from telepathic probes. However, the protection is only be in effect while the charge is held close to himself (e.g. holding a charged card).

FIGHTING SKILLS:

FAST EXIT - Remy can attack physically and move to firing distance before any foe can complete an action that affects him. His enhanced speed and reflexes, in combination with the reach of his staff allow him to fend off close ranged foes long enough to retreat to cover. Remy's enhanced physical attributes also allow him to perform acrobatic moves with relative ease.

GAMBLING - Playing games, including, but not limited to: board, card, computer, dice, strategy, and tabletop games. This skill also covers gambling. Perhaps not surprisingly, Gambit prefers card games.

OBSERVATION - The use of all sensory powers with Willpower trump suits, plus a general ability to tell when something is interesting or out of place. Observation skills also help when surveying a location for entrance or escape routes.

SLEIGHT OF HAND - Stage magic. Remy can make small items appear and disappear by a combination of misdirection and swift, fluid gestures. He can also use this skill to pick someone's pocket, another basic skill for a professional thief. Remy is also able to open locks of all sorts, as it is a staple skill of any professional thief.

WEAPON STYLE - (Edged & bo-staff) - Anything from a Sword to the sharp edge of a playing card, assuming Remy can lift it. He can reduce the difficulty when throwing any edged object. His preferred tools are his playing cards and his telescopic staff. Remy can also throw small objects with extraordinary speed and accuracy.

DISADVANTAGES:

MORTAL - When it comes down to the nitty gritty, Remy is human. Despite his enhanced physical abilities, his body is still susceptible to pain, injury and disease.

OVER-CONFIDENCE - There's confidence, and then there's over-confidence. Remy balances on a fine line between the two, and over-confidence has, on occasion, put him in more danger than was necessary.

SUCKER FOR THE LADIES - Remy may be a ladies' man, but he's a sucker for them too. After all as he'll tell you, he may be a mutant, but he's still only human.

Standard X-Men uniform with a black leather trench coat over top.
