Rogue
Rogue is from a small town along the banks of the Mississippi River in the Deep South, as her thick accent will attest to. It was a good and peaceful life, but that was all to vanish when her mutant powers became active and she nearly killed a boy after kissing him. Confused and frightened, Rogue ran away from home and was befriended by Mystique, who brought her to the Brotherhood of Mutants. There she met Magneto and the two fell in love. But eventually Rogue realized that the Brotherhood's message of hatred and violence wsa wrong, and she joined the X-Men. She still harbors great resentment towards Mystique for lying to her, but she also holds a special fondness towards Magneto. But her current love, Gambit, is more than enough to keep her mind off her Brotherhood memories.
Rogue's mutant talent is also her curse; should her skin come into contact with any mutant or human she will absorb their memories, and abilities. Should she remain in contact with anyone too long, she will absorb their life force and kill them. Because of this, she is forced to wear gloves and is destined to never feel the touch of another.
