Rogue
“Know thyself," said the old philosopher, "improve thyself," saith the new.

Power(s):
~ The absorption of life-force through skin-on-skin contact. Absorption transfers memories, thoughts, knowledge, superhuman abilities, and virtually everything that makes that person who they are. If Rogue touches someone who is be making skin-on-skin contact with a second person, Rogue absorbs the life-force of that person as well. Absorption can include the manifestation of physical mutations with prolonged contact.
~ She also possesses the ability to manifest powers that have been previously absorbed and use them, separately and in conjunction with one another. The more contact she’s had with someone, the more she absorbs, and the easier it is to recall their abilities
Absorbed Power(s):
~ (TBA)
Special Skills:
Rogue’s power involves the absorption of thoughts and memories. As a result of her ability Rogue retains the knowledge of those she has absorbed, and over time she has learned to access it.
Automatic mental processes, speaking and understanding a language, for example, come naturally to her, something that she has as yet kept to herself. She may trust her friends--her family--but that doesn’t mean she has to tell them everything.
At this point, she can no longer recall where the line between her original skills ends and her absorbed talents begin. The skills she is currently aware of are as follows:

“Do not judge men by mere appearances; for the light laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy.” ~ Edward Chapin
Rogue’s silken mane of auburn hair has grown out over the years, her snowy white bangs framing her pretty face when she leaves it down, which she tends to do more often than not. Her eyes are a brilliant emerald green, vibrant and full of life, her every emotion showing through those emerald orbs. She has a very slender, trim figure, toned muscle accentuated by feminine curves. Her flesh is unusually pale, a result of her constant need to stay covered for the protection of those around her.
