Personality

.:Personality: Rogue look sweet and she can be, but she has quite a temper. Not one to be walked all over, Rogue is more than happy to stand up for herself of make what's on her mind known.

 Raised in a southern home, Rogue is polite and mindful of her manners. She will be tidy in the presence of others but behind closed doors,her things are what one might say in a state of beautiful chaos. Always a free spirit, Rogue does what she feels she needs to do and always follows her instincts. After meeting Logan on the road and absorbing a part of him, she takes a bit after him, and can be rowdy and rambunctious. She is fond of the outdoors, often enjoying a walk outside during warmer seasons barefoot. Although she doesn't particularly seek to be alone, she often is, and when she is, she exposed a little more skin, such as not wearing gloves or a long sleeved shirt.

 Although Rogue considers herself attractive, she has little confidence with the opposite sex due to her mutation. Platonically, her relationships with men aren't a problem for her. She can often behave like just one of the guys with them and hold her own in rough play. Present her with a romantic situation and she might just get thrown off guard. She doesn't believe anyone would genuinely flirt with her and might even mistake it for pity on account of her mutation and its restrictions.

Not too exposed to the world, Rogue can be quite naive and is often too trusting but it doesn't stop her from typical nature to be curious and thirsty for knowledge and experience.
Although she is young, Rogue is skilled at hand to hand combat and excels in agility. Since she is not very muscular and broad, she can move around the battlefield quickly, and focuses in improving her hand to hand combat since her mutation doesn't particularly aid her in the field. She might not have much confidence in other departments, but in battle and out on the field, she soars.
Like any young person, she likes to have fun and participates in going out to see movies, have a drink or two, or even hang out to play pool, sing karaoke, and dance with her peers at the mansion. A hard worker committed to her classes and her goal of controlling her powers one day, Rogue can cut loose every once in a while. And just like any young woman, she might get herself into trouble once in a blue moon.
.:Powers/Abilities:
Rogue has the power of absorption, meaning any direct skin to skin contact will absorb life force from a human. In their life force, she draws out memories, information, and even personality traits. The process of absorption is very unpleasant, often bringing on dizzy and lightheadedness and strong headaches and migraines. If absorbed for too long, the human may fall comatose and even die. When Rogue absorbs mutants, the experience complete changes. Not only does she absorb memories, personality traits, and energy, but she also takes on their power for a short time. Depending on the power, it could be catastrophic

 Skilled fighter and brawler: Although Rogue's powers aren't often used in the field for personal and safety reasons, she can be a valuable asset to any team. She is quick on her feet, stealthy, and focuses most of her training.

History

.:Birthplace: Caldecott County, Mississippi.
.:Family: Priscella and Owen D'Ancanto.
.:Occupation: Teacher.
.:Current Location of Residence: Charles Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters.
.:History: Raised in a southern environment, Rogue was always running around the fields and getting into some sort of mischief. At the end of the day, she was a good kid, just a little too curious. Raised by Owen and Priscella, Was the typical southern teenager. She went to school, enjoyed the company of school mates, and even had a crush in high school when her powers came into effect. It was her first kiss that brought on the emotional stress that made her powers first surface. At the age of sixteen, Rogue was afraid and had nowhere to turn to. Instead of being cast out by her parents, she took to the road on her own where she met Logan, realizing he was similar to her. Once in Logan's company, she looked up to him like a father and the two had been nearly inseparable. Being the only person she trusted, the two stayed at the school after being attacked by Sabretooth and it was there that she began to grow in her studies and as a young woman. With the affections of Bobby Drake, Rogue grew less self conscious about her powers until she was taken by Magneto for a terrorist plot that would have left her dead and half of the city turned into mutants. Once the plot was interrupted, she was brought back to the mansion to continue her studies and development with the students and staff while Logan went off in search of answers in regards to his past.

Months went by and Rogue devolved a steady relationship with Bobby Drake. It was a positive experience for her to know that someone was willing to overlook her mutation and try to be with her, even if things became hard when they wanted to be close with each other. The companionship was needed, and she meshed into the student body with the help of Bobby and his friends. Things seemed at peace until Stryker's forces infiltrated the school during a time that the nation was pushing registration in fear of mutant terrorists. Rogue and Logan barely escaped the raid of Xavier's with Bobby and John Allerdyce and met up with Storm and
Jean, only to learn that Erik Lehnsherr was out of jail and aware of plans the involved the military scientist that raided the school the night before. With some students and Scott and The Professor in Stryker's custody, the group forged together to infiltrate the military base at Alkali Lake and take back their own, stop Stryker's plans and shut down Cerebro II. Once the two sides succeeded, the X-Men and Brotherhood went their separate ways. Upon escaping the collapsing base at the lake, the team lost Jean Grey, and proceeded to mourn her life on the journey home.
 It wasn't long after, that Worthington Labs developed a serum that was said to cure the mutant gene. Young, and desperate to be like other people, Rogue went on her way to receive the cure, only to be interrupted by a fight between Pyro and Iceman. It was on her journey that she missed the battle of Alcatraz and came home cured from her mutation.

 But the cure was faulty, and Rogue's mutation came back, only to leave her discouraged and shut off from the idea of any relationship.

Sample Post

There had been a time for flirtatious glances and the idea of hand holding, brief lip locks and subtle gestures of affection. But like anyone's life, there was also a time to let go of childish things and accept reality. The time to grow up had approached sooner than she had anticipated. Growing up... It was something that kids wanted from the beginning of life and here she was at the ripe age of twenty one and she regretted ever wanting to grow up.

She sat out in the garden of the school, blanket beneath her as she lay out in the sun. Just because she couldn't show her skin half the time didn't mean she wasn't well groomed. Rogue took pride in her appearance and hygiene, so the leg shaving and the waxing continued because even if she couldn't show off to land herself a man, she was still going to feel good about herself, dash the men. Dash the idea of a relationship. Her relationship had to be with herself and for now, that was fine. Laying back on her blanket in a green and white stripped bikini, the sun licked at her skin. A thin sheen of sweat layered on her skin from laying out so long. The heat was nothing for Rogue. Growing up in a southern home where you could practically breathe the water out of the air, Rogue was accustomed to humidity and heat. Dry heat was the best. She felt toasty out in the sun, wind kissing at her cheeks and her bare belly and thighs.

The garden spoke to her. Every rustle of flowers, cricket chirp, every bird that chirped was a message from earth, coaxing her to believe that just for a second, she might be back home in the comfort of Mississippi. Truth was, Rogue was a vagrant. Home was where the heart was, not a place. Right now, her friends were here, and that's what cemented her to the institute. Did she have a purpose? Just to learn control of her powers...

It was a fair goal... But there was no end in sight. "Home... Oh home... Home is wherever ah'm with you..." Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.... That damn song was stuck in her head. It wasn't uncommon to hear Rogue randomly sing quiet lyrics to herself when she thought she was alone. It was part of her charm actually, and with a southern lilt and a sweet voice, her sounds were always so pretty. It was just a darn shame she wouldn't sing for anyone but herself...
