AU History

Character Name: Remy Etienne LeBeau.
Age: 17.
Race: Mutant.
History: Abandoned at birth and abducted by members of the Thieves’ Guild due to the prophesy that called for ’le diable blanc’ (the white devil) to unite the warring Guilds, Remy was placed in the care of a street gang of thieves to be raised and tutor him in the ways of thievery. At around ten years old, Remy attempted to pick the pocket of Jean-Luc LeBeau, who took the boy in and adopted him into the family.

While his training accelerated under the Guild, Remy was also placed in an arranged marriage between himself and Bella Donna Boudreaux as part of a peace pact between the two Guilds (Thieves’ and Assassin’s). Already good friends with the girl, who he had met while he was still on the streets, as the two moved into their teens they began dating in anticipation for their upcoming future.

Two years ago Remy accompanied his cousin Etienne Marceaux on his Tithing, a ritual initiation into the Guild. Assigned to steal from the immortal mutant Candra, both were captured and sold onto the Pig, a child slave trader. Planning to sell them to HYDRA to become child soldiers, the boys were able to escape their cage. Their resulting escape however led to Etienne’s death, an event Remy blames himself for, being unable to protect Etienne.

Due to having trouble coping with Etienne’s death, Remy’s powers became less stable but manageable until he destroyed an irreplaceable painting during a job. Told to get himself sorted out by his father, Remy found contact with SHIELD a year ago and has been studying under them to try and get to grips with his powers.

Abilities/Powers:
Mutant ability: Able to tap into the energy of an object and transform it into kinetic energy, resulting typically in an explosion. This is done both by physical contact and limited eye contact. This can affect both organic and inorganic material. His ability to tap into energy also grants him superhuman agility and dexterity, as well as static interference/shielding of his mind, protecting him from some detection and intrusion. He also possesses a hypnotic charm that allows him subtle influence over the mind of others, making them believe what he says and agreeing to his suggestions (limited to non-telepaths and the like).

Remy is still learning his powers and as such does not have total control over them. For the most he can contain the charging to only being used when he wants to, but on occasion it can trigger without his intent, or not work when he wants it to. His mental shielding is on the lower spectrum, and even if he is not aware of it, his charm ability is also at an early development stage. He however has full control over the extra agility and dexterity.

Abilities: Fully bilingual in English and French, able to talk a few sentences in multiple other languages; trained in a range of thieving skills; able to throw small items with great accuracy; skilled in duelling and fencing.

Interests/knowledge base: History, architecture, art history, languages (French), range of sports (particularly basketball), video games, scifi (but will never admit to it), growing knowledge on the physics of explosions.
