Characteristics:
Real name: Remy Etienne LeBeau
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 179 lbs
Hair: auburn
Eyes: glowing red irises on black
Age: 35
Ethnicity: Acadian/Cajun
Citizenship: USA
Education: no official schooling
Religious affiliation: Catholic
Zodiac sign: Scorpio
Other features: a tattoo on his back in the center between his shoulder blades - four playing card symbols against the background of a veve symbol
Known relatives: Jacques LeBeau (foster grandfather, deceased), Jean-Luc LeBeau (foster father, deceased), Rochelle LeBeau (foster grandmother, deceased), Bella Donna Boudreaux (wife, separated), Henri LeBeau (foster brother), Mercy LeBeau (sister-in-law), Theoren Marceaux (cousin), Etienne Marceaux (cousin, deceased), Marius Boudreaux (father-in-law), Julien Boudreaux (brother-in-law, deceased), Constance Lewis (daughter)
Powers:
- Ability to charge inanimate objects with explosive kinetic energy. Mental block prevents him from charging living tissue.
- Limited empathy and hypnotic charm. Ability to "charge" the kinetic energy within a person's brain, allowing a subtle influence over any sentient mind. This power allows Gambit to compel others to believe what he says and agree with anything he suggests.
- Static intereference that prevents his mind from being accessed by telepaths; added effect of destabilizing touch-based powers.
- Skilled hand-to-hand combatant and strategist, expert in parkour
- Master thief
Weapons: a deck of cards he uses for charging and throwing, and an adamantium bo-staff; sometimes uses firearms and various theft-related equipment.
Other pertinent information:
Alpha-Level Mutant, possible Omega-Level (Class 4 by the current classification)
Chain smoker (probably not anymore due to general lack of cigarette production)
Notorious flirt
Filthy rich (probably not anymore due to bank system collapse)
Frequently moves from place to place
Prefers a bike
Bisexual
Extremely secretive
Supersticious and with an inclination towards mysticism
Played by: Rodrigo Santoro

Wears this
Following the war with the AI, Gambit had to abandon his luxurious lifestyle, since the economy had diminished to barter for life necessities. He was happy to find that his expertise and his connections - those that were alive - were still functional and reliable, people appreciated having a master thief as an acquaintance even more now. As such, he could count on at least some sources of food, gas, weapons and cigarettes.
Gambit organized several hideouts for himself, keeping what remained of the Hellfire Club building as one of those. Already during the war, he'd found for Connie a refuge: she was now living in the bayous with Tante Mattie, and he couldn't think of a safest place.
Due to the decrease in population numbers, loner Gambit found it more logical to stick closer to at least one bunch of people he'd felt some connection towards, which meant he was now a frequent visitor at Xavier's mansion, at least whenever he could spare some gas for the trip.
