character information
● name: Rogue / Marie D'Ancanto
● canon: X-Men Cinematic Universe
● canon point: Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut (right before timeline resets)
● age: 34
● (canon) background: Canon History. Because Days of Future Past takes place roughly fifteen years after the end of X3, I use the following headcanon as a bit of filler for the in-between. The major developments in the war are mentioned in DoFP itself.
Not long after taking the "Cure", mutants everywhere began to have their powers reactivated, and some time later Rogue resumed training with Xavier after his return to the mansion. She learned how to partition her mind and lock away the more unsavory personalities she'd absorbed over the years, but true control over her powers eluded them. After finishing high school, Rogue stayed on as a teacher at Xavier's school, as well as a full member of the X-Men. She taught French and self-defense classes, and filled in anywhere else she was needed. Her romantic relationship with Bobby Drake ended when they both realized they wanted different things.
Rogue took a few college classes online, pursuing a degree in French literature, while continuing to teach and travel the world on missions with the X-Men. Tensions began to heighten both in Washington and on a more local scale as once again the Mutant Registration Act was put forth to become law.
Early Days of the War: The Mutant Registration Act was finally passed, allowing the government to begin collecting information on the sizeable mutant population in the US. The rest of the world quickly followed suit with similar registration programs. The Sentinel Program was launched to help deal with the more 'dangerous' mutants.
The X-Men, including Rogue, were forced to flee the mansion in Westchester when the government declared that all mutants were to be detained and imprisoned, even those without dangerous abilities, and those who resisted would be met with lethal force. Shortly after, all humans who aided mutants were imprisoned or killed as well.
Sentinels began exercising extreme force in their hunt for mutants, destroying buildings to deal with the mutants inside and even entire cities. The X-Men split up to cover more ground as they sought to find a way to save mankind and end the war. Rogue went with the younger X-Men, including Bobby, Kitty, and Piotr, who she'd taught and trained with over the years.
A number of years before the events to change the timeline in Days of Future Past, Rogue was captured and taken to a prison camp for processing like other mutant prisoners. When her DNA was scanned and matched to Xavier's own records (now in the hands of the government), she was moved to Xavier's mansion, which had been transformed into a high-security facility for further development of the Sentinels. It is there that she was experimented upon as a means of studying her mutation in the hopes of utilizing it through the Sentinels to take the powers of all remaining mutants, in a similar way that Mystique's mutation had been studied to create Sentinels capable of adapting to and mimicking mutant abilities. The lab where she was kept was housed in Cerebro so even a powerful telepath like Xavier would not be able to locate her -- because of this, she was believed to be dead by many, including Xavier, Logan, and Magneto.
When Kitty was injured while projecting Logan into the past in order to change the timeline, Bobby revealed to Xavier and Magneto that Rogue was indeed alive, and the three of them rescue her from the mansion compound in order for her to take Kitty's place. [This plot takes place in the Rogue Cut of Days of Future Past.]
● abilities: Rogue possesses the ability to absorb the life force, memories, abilities, personality, and outward physical characteristics of other sentient beings through skin-to-skin contact. No upper limit has been determined for the number of beings she could simultaneously imprint. Upon absorbing another's memories, Rogue also gains any associated emotional responses. Rogue is typically able to control such emotions, however absorbing psyches more powerful than her own results in Rogue’s psyche being supplanted for a short time. After the immediate absorption wears off (generally for every 1 second she touches someone, she is able to use their abilities for 60 seconds), a copy of the other person's psyche is left in Rogue's mind; these psyches are fully formed, and Rogue is able to communicate with the ones who aren't hostile or overly resistant. Prior to the Sentinel War and her subsequent capture and captivity, Rogue had been working with Charles Xavier to control her powers, but their efforts were met with only limited success. Note: This version of Rogue has no control over her mutation. Thus, her mutant power may be nerfed or control granted in order to make her safer to be around - I'll leave this to mod preference, though she certainly wouldn't be averse to having control.
Because her power is not an 'active' one, during her time with the X-Men she put great effort into being a 'useful' member of the team. This included learning to pilot the Blackbird jet and a handful of other aircraft, and also became proficient enough in a number of fighting styles to lead her own self-defense course at the school.
Rogue is fluent in English and French, though her French is often heavily accented. She also knows bits and pieces of Russian from spending time with Piotr/Colossus, and some German from having Erik/Magneto as a prominent psyche in her head.
● strengths: Rogue is sassy, stubborn, and strong-willed, refusing to be pushed around or bullied by others. When she first meets Logan and stows away on his truck, he leaves her in the middle of road. She asks where she's supposed to go, and upon his response of "I don't know" she asks for the clarification of "You don't know or you don't care?" She points out that she'd just saved his life, not hesitating to talk back even when she'd just seen him nearly shishkabob some men with his metal claws.
She is fiercely protective of people she cares about, and those who just need protecting -- she will come to the aid of anyone in need, even if it looks to be a losing battle, because it's the right thing to do. That's why she alerted Logan to the danger in the bar, despite the fact that he'd clearly proven that he could handle himself.
She’s adventurous, willing to do things she’s never done before and go places on her own. Hitchhiking alone across the US and Canada, she ends up in unsavory places but doesn’t let fear get to her. Walking into an unsavory bar and secretly hitching a ride with a gruff mutant with metal claws are things she takes in stride, and she doesn't hesitate to make sassy conversation with said mutant when he does finally agree to giving her a ride.
She does what has to be done, regardless of fears or doubts. When Rogue was rescued from captivity for the sole purpose of taking Kitty's place in holding Logan's mind in the past, she wasn’t swayed by Kitty's mourning of the recently deceased Bobby, stepping in immediately to absorb Kitty's power and take her place; even Magneto seemed a little surprised by her determination.
● weaknesses: Rogue feels extremely guilty when people she cares about are hurt by her powers, and grieves greatly for those she was forced to kill during her years of captivity as part of the government's experimentation. She frequently has nightmares that have been 'inherited' from others, including Magneto from during his time in Auschwitz and Logan from his experiences at Alkali Lake. If she doesn't make an effort to stabilize herself mentally, these stressors can take a toll on her ability to keep the psyches in her mind at bay, leading to rare periods where the stronger psyches supercede her own.
She can be a little reckless, not fully considering all the repercussions of her actions, like when she stowed away in the back of Wolverine’s truck, regardless of the fact that she had no idea what he would do when he discovered her. She'd just seen the man beat the tar out of someone and slice a shotgun in half with metal claws, while she had no real ability to defend herself other than a power she was afraid of, yet she still took the risk. This recklessness only extends to herself; she wouldn’t do anything to overtly put someone else in danger.
Running is her first instinct when she feels unwelcome and unwanted. When her mutation manifested, she didn't stick around to wait for her parents to kick her out; at the first sign of them regretting having adopted her, she packed a bag and left. After borrowing Logan's power to heal herself at the mansion, she was easily manipulated by Mystique into believing that the faculty and students at the school were afraid of and angry with her, and it took only a few choice words to send her running again.
