Name: Raven Darkholme
Alias: Mystique
Race: Caucasian/Mutant
Date of Birth: November 6
Place of Birth: Unknown
Citizenship: American
Approximate Age: Thirty-four
Gender: Female, in her natural form.
Height: 5'10'' (variable)
Eye Color: Yellow (variable)
Hair Color: Red (variable)
Dress sense: Normally nude, for better transformations.
Powers
Mystique can psionically shift the atoms of her body to duplicate any humanoid
of either sex, wearing any kind of clothing. She can precisely duplicate
another person’s retina pattern, finger, palm and skin-pore patterns,
and vocal cords. She can increase her volume, but not her mass.
Mystique’s power grants her age retardation, increased healing, and
immunity to drugs and poisons.
Other Abilities
Mystique is extremely intelligent and a highly skilled combatant, master of several
martial arts, actress, marksman, and strategist in terrorist and
commando operations. She can also use a wide range of conventional
weapons. Mystique also displays mastery of several languages.
Family: unnamed Mother (deceased), unnamed Father (deceased).
Actress: Rebecca Romijn (and Jennifer Lawrence for flashback purposes, I suppose)
Personality and Background
Due to her profession, Mystique has the reputation of a
loner, and possessing a strong will. In her personal life, she has her
streak of emotional dependence, and isn't really as cold as she
portrays in the professional world. She is extremely energetic and
spirited, and is very loyal to those she respects and cares about. She
also detests telephones, because lines can be intercepted by the wrong
people, and prefers to see people in the flesh rather than use a phone.
Her mutation developed in her early teens, after a bad sunburn peeled away
to reveal blue, scaly skin. The yellow eyes and red hair developed not
too long after, and her parents treated her as if she was a leper. They
eventually tried to poison her, but it only made her violently sick,
and, after a trip to the emergency room, that was it. A violent confrontation ensued, and Raven ran away from home. A homeless teen, she wandered around the East Coast until she ended up in New York, where she chanced to meet one Erik Lensherr. Charismatic and sympathetic, he didn't treat her like a monster, but in fact the opposite. Erik encouraged her to embrace her birthright, and so she did. She has
devoted her life to working for him and his Cause since.
By her early twenties Raven had figured out enough to
disguise herself for short periods of time, and began using her abilities to further Erik's goals. He taught her
to use her gifts to punish humans for what they did to her, and helped
her push her talents to the limit. After a while, the two entered a
serious relationship that lasted for years. She followed him faithfully, and became his
right-hand woman in the Brotherhood, helping out with his most recent
schemes in mutant supremacy, including the incident at Liberty Island
and Alkali Lake. At Liberty Island, she fought the Wolverine, and lost
when he stabbed her in the abdomen with his adamantium claws. She
recovered fully, but will always carry the scars. She is also solely
responsible for breaking Erik out of jail after Liberty Island.
Constantly on the run with Magneto, Mystique was often used to encounters with the
police or the X-Men, but it wasn't until she was captured by the
federal government did she undergo a huge change. While breaking
Mystique out of imprisonment, Magneto was targeted with a Cure dart, but
Mystique stepped in front of him. Taking the dart instead, Raven was 'cured' of her mutation. Having no use for a human, Magneto abandoned her.
Furious at the betrayal, after years of loyal service, Raven went to the FBI and sold out Magneto in exchange for a clean slate. She started over in a new city, going back to school to complete a degree in computer science, when her mutation returned. While still reeling from the emotional changes that accompanied the return of her powers, the apocalypse was upon them all. Alone, Raven was barely able to survive. She retreated to safe areas, keeping to the shadows as was her specialty. When she realized she needed help, Raven began looking for Magneto and the remnants of the Brotherhood.
