[/i][/center]The Person
Name: Claude LeBeau
Age: 28
Place of Birth: Utopia
Current Place of Residence: Mobile
Affiliation: Unaffiliated
Family: Remy LeBeau (Father), Anna LeBeau (Nee Marie, Mother), ------ LeBeau (younger sister)
Height: 6"2
Weight: 200 lbs
Appearance:
Please note, he also has his fathers eyes as can be seen in sig and av
Civilian Attire:
Claude's civilian attire is as varied as he is a person. On any day you're as likely to meet him adorned in a t-shirt, tight fitting jeans and matching cowboy boots and a hat as you are to meeting him in a casual suit. He of course generally just lets the occasion itself determine what he'll wear. Due to the pricey nature of his employment he can afford clothes of a very high quality.
Personality:
When discussing the personality of Claude its important to separate his "Claude" and "Gambit" persona's. Claude is his fathers son, a witty and charming rogue with a love of his family. A confident and upbeat man who enjoys entertaining others with a card trick or a dirty limerick he heard. Claude knows loyalty and respects honour, he's also a man of his word.
When Claude enters his "Gambit" persona he takes on a different personality, this isn't due to a split personality disorder, it is more so a technique of keeping his work life and personal life separate. "Gambit the Terminator" is cold, calculating and without mercy. He'll accept almost any contract with his only requirement being suitable funds. Although his trainer Deathstoke long since abandoned such a sentiment.
Likes:
- Scotch & Vodka (not in the same glass of course)
- That new gun smell
- Movies from the 20's (who could forget the glorious 3rd Star Wars Trilogy?)
- A good stereotype impersonation (nothing racist about it!)
- A dramatic exit
Dislikes:
- A bad cheque
- Sewer water (its impossible to get the smell out of your body armour!)
- TV Preachers
- Super villains who giggle too much
- Being hung
The Villain
Codename: Gambit The Terminator
Villain Attire: Claude adorns himself in a suit made from similar materials to his father's suit, which provides more protection then a standard X-men uniform (which is generally made from kevlar), unlike his father's his suit also includes a mask, this provides his head equal protection and his sensitive eyes some protection against sudden bright lights.
Powers:
Like his old man, Claude has the ability to tap into the potential energy contained within an object and transform it into kinetic energy. This allows him to charge any organic or non-organic matter within his line of sight through thought, usually causing it to explode or incinerate, but he also able to just cause burns, or cause molecular discomfort.
Claude's ability to tap energy also grants him superhuman agility and dexterity, as well as creating a static interference that shields his mind from detection and intrusion by even the most powerful telepaths.
Claude also possesses a hypnotic charm that allows him to exert a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Claude to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests.
[as of 5-31-11] Claude has purchased various implants from the current Power Broker. These implants include a Hypertrophy Accelerator which grants him minor (5 ton) super strength and matching durability, an Optics Enhancer to improve his vision (doubling how far he can see, and improving his ability to adapt to darkness), a Nociception Regulator allowing him to function at peak efficiency for a full day before fatigue kicks in, a Logic Co-Processor to improve his reaction speed and thought speed and lastly a Monocyte Breeder granting a healing factor the equivalent to the likes of Spider Man.
Skills:
Master Assassin: Claude has received extensive training from Deathstroke the Terminator in the art of assassination, he is very well versed in armed combat using weapons of almost every kind found on Earth from swords and other classic weapons to the most up to date rifles, explosives and other tools of dealing death. While trained to an extremely high standard in almost all weapons, experience has made him particularly proficient with katanas, staffs, uzi's, rifles and frag grenades. His training also vehicle operation, guerrilla warfare, tracking, demolition, he has received Ninja training. He is capable of entering and exiting the most secure SHIELD facilities without notice and has on at least one occasion done the same to the Young Titans building.
Businessman: As a high ranking member of the Hellfire Club, Claude has seen it fit to adapt to his new surroundings and as such, has used his finances to develop a high-end security company. This company primarily deals in bodyguards & dog units, state-of-the-art security hardware, software and vehicles. The company enjoys contracts with several members of the Hellfire Club and associates, while also serving to legitimize Claude's funds earned elsewhere.
Gambit The Terminator is currently the most expensive and dangerous Assassin on the planet, bar none.
Hand-to-Hand: Claude was trained hand to hand by the X-men and then by Deathstroke (who taught him the above mentioned Ninja arts, but also Boxing, Ju-Jitsu and Karate). Claude is considered an "expert" in unarmed combat but he is far more proficient armed combat, and prefers it when given the option.
Tactician: Claude has been trained in tactics by Deathstroke and is also extremely talented at it, being right up there with Deathstroke and Batman.
Genius IQ: While never going to be a world chess champion or write a book on nuclear physics, Claude has a genius IQ in the form of "Bodily-Kinesthetic's" which explains his ability to learn and master combat and other body and movement related techniques.
Peak level fitness: While possesses enhanced dexterity and agility by his mutancy, regular intense excersize has given Claude the strength, endurance, reflexes and durability at the maximum level a "human" can achieve.
Card Tricks: Thought by Daddy dearest, Claude can perform a wide variety of "magic" card tricks.
Multi-lingual: Claude speaks English, French, Chinese, Mandarin, Russian and Arabic to a fluent degree.
Information gathering: Claude has put together a database of information piling together everything known on thousands of different meta-humans, including a very wide number of individuals in the super hero/villain community. His database is more wanted by SHIELD then he is.
Special Equipment:
Promethium Weapons: Gambit makes use of a promethium katana and staff, just like his mentor.
Exotic Weapons & Ammo: Gambit's normal target is a meta-human individual, a superhero or villain that must be taken out. For that reason he has stocked a wide variety of extremely specialist and often very rare weapons or forms of ammo for dealing with individuals who require a special approach. He has everything from adamantium and kryptonite bullets and exotic gases that can handle extremely high immune systems. Anything he doesn't have, he can usually obtain at his clients expense.
Life Model Decoy: This robot replica of Claude can fool the vast majority of people and security, with the robot being present in a place while "Gambit" is busy at work it has made proving one is the
other nigh impossible.
Stealthsuit: Claude has traded in his previous costume for a state-of-the-art lightweight bodyarmour stealthsuit. The bullet, stab, heat and electric proof suit features multifunctional layering, incorporating the latest Transpirable Teflon-Based Temperature Control system, Conductivity Control, a Musculature Motility Layer, Self-Repair, a Light Emitting Plastic Layer & a Super-Conducting Plastic Opto-Electrical Hybrid Computer 12.6 Teraflop Speed CPU, GPS & tactical HUD display. In laymans terms, it renders him invisible to the naked eye & electrical systems, including heat and infrared based systems while also reducing noise produced and fighting off attempts at external tech attack by as much as possible allowing for maximum stealth efficiency, while intelligently providing him a tactical feed and analysis of everything within view. It also allows for communication and repairs itself.
Weaknesses: Claude has no enhanced durability of any kind, and thus despite being incredibly badass, can still be killed in all the standard ways a human can be killed, such as physics. Physics states that two objects cannot occupy the same space, so should one make bullets present where his head is occupying space....it is quite likely you'll have a dead Claude.
Criminal Record:
Claude has no criminal record, Gambit the Terminator however is wanted for a wide number of murders, information theft, arson, damage to public property and more more crimes then general come along with a person who announces his presence with half a dozen grenades and two emptied uzi clips.
Henchmen: While Claude's new company serves to provide a front to his other activities, it has also provided a recruiting ground for his personal security while operating with the Hellfire Club. Claude's retinue of bodyguards and attackmen are all former military, most of which are Spetsnazz or SAS.
History:
Claude is the first born child of Gambit & Rogue, who came screaming into the world on Utopia, the X-men's Island home. So unexpected was Claude's coming about that it resulted in Anne-Marie taking a walk up the wedding isle with the baby bump that was him on prominent display.
When the X-men eventually relocated to their historic home, the X-mansion, Remy & Rogue instead saw fit to bring their first little one (of several) to New Orleans, where he could enjoy his precious young years in a comfortable, loving home. A normal upbringing before the eventual inevitability of his going to Xavier's for a weird and wonderful education.
His youth was very normal, until that very special day that all mutants go through when you first make something explode. In Claude's case it was a teacher's notebook. Regardless of whether he intended to do it or not, he got detention before mother and father dearest sent him on his rite of passage. It was time to attend Xavier's. With bright eyes and a snazzy accent a high spirited Claude went to live in New York to be a New Recruit, bringing the legacy of Remy & Rogue in his steps.
He would however, not complete his education at Xavier's after a brush with hatred and death. When Claude was 15 he was attacked by a group of youths who had a dislike for mutants. Not satisfied to shout insults and the general beating up scene, they wanted attempted to kill Claude via hanging him. Luckily he was saved, but not without damage. He was brought home to recuperate, he had some telepathic sessions to ease his mind and plastic surgery was able to remove the scar from his throat. However....somewhere in the recesses of his mind something in Claude had changed.
Instead of returning to Xavier's in New York, Claude sought out the New Orleans Assassins Guild. The boy made a vow never to be made a victim again, he was going to be top of the food chain. However...the Assassins Guild refused to train him, much to his dismay. He didn't matter he was determined, he didn't matter he had a connection to them through through his Dad. It was a big fat no. Taking some money Claude disappeared into the night. At first his parents didn't worry, he had often snuck away to go camping, so it wasn't until a few days passed that they started to grow concerned.
By then however Claude was long gone in his search for someone who would teach him to be a killer. Something more then a killer. The top of the food chain.
This is what brought a fifteen year old Claude LeBeau into the presence of Deathstroke The Terminator. Tracking him down was a feat in itself, convincing Slade Wilson to train him was another matter entirely. However, as Claude's first crush had learned just as Deathstroke would, Claude was nothing if not one for victory through preserverance.
Thus eventually began a five year training regime, from day one the difficulty dial was set to eleven. They traveled the world together, every day Claude learned some new trick, the next day he put it to use. On many occasions Claude was nearly killed, as time moved however the boy (quickly becoming a man) went from being "Claude the son of Gambit and Rogue" and was turned into "Gambit The Terminator," a legendary Assassin who's name was right up there with Deathstroke and Elektra.
By the time Gambit The Terminator graduated he had a kill count of well over a hundred people, a dozen safehouses around the world and each one was sufficiently equipped for any job he'd need. He was Gambit The Terminator, and his job was to kill the unkillable. Although Slade had long ago given up the contract work, letting his sense of morality tell him who deserved to die, the new Gambit was quite happy to be a contract man for the while.
Now 28 years old and the top man of the current generation of killers-for-a-price, Gambit is still applying his trade and culling the superhuman heard for anyone willing to pay for his services. He always finishes a contract, but after that everything is on the table.
RP Sample:
Claude was sitting at what was called a writing desk, he was however not writing but typing on his laptop. Important details for an upcoming job. It was the dead of night in the LeBeau Manor in New Orleans. The Utopian born New Orleasian gave a slight stretch before cracking his knuckles against his neck. With a quick blink he returned to his typing.
"The windows are locked, as are all the doors. There's motion sensors, telepathic wards and a laser grid all undisturbed...and my dog is still asleep. So I'm going to guess you're an extremely talented assassin sent to kill me." He had yet to take his face away from the laptop screen.
"Well they call me the killer, and I can get through any defense." He was maybe six two and covered in black, a pistol with a silencer in both hands.
"Don't be cocky now, you missed one." replied Claude again. Even through his mask he could tell his would-be assassin was raising an eyebrow in annoyance at that.
"Oh yeah? What's that?" He had said enough words now for Claude to be able to tell that he was from New York. He'd remember that. Now however he placed down his laptop screen, his black and red demon eyes quickly glowing red before everything on his attacker exploded. Small explosions of course, he didn't want to have to call a contractor. They were pirates.
With everything on his person having exploded, his attacker was left as nothing more then a twitching, naked, bloody brat on the floor. In the mean time Claude stepped up from his seat, taking up his promethium katana in one hand. It was never too far away, just in case.
"Come on now, don't be stupid. Me of course."
