Powers:
01 "Charging"; Gambit is a mutant whose primary ability is the manipulation of energy. He uses the bio-kinetic energy his body produces to convert the potential energy of non-living matter into kinetic energy. The conversion process, referred to as charging, often results in a violent and powerful explosion. The explosion is proportional to the size of the object. In his first appearance and first demonstration of his powers he charges an object via an aura emitted from his eyes, rather than through physical contact. Because energy charges his body, Gambit has slightly greater strength, stamina and agility than any non-powered human. Gambit is able to manipulate the potency of his bio-kinetic energy to burn, cause molecular discomfort, incinerate and create timed detonations. For the purposes of Cycle, he will have to touch whatever he's charging.

02 Hypnotic Charm; He also possesses a hypnotic charm that allows him to exert a subtle influence over sentient beings, leading them to believe what he says and agree with his suggestions, it's very subtle, doesn't work on those who are very strong-willed, and also does not work on those who know about it. NOTE: I will contact players prior to using this instead of putting up a permissions post.

03 Fighting ability/thief skills; During combat, Gambit customarily wears a suit of highly articulated light body armor and uses a telescopic metal staff. He is extensively trained in martial arts, particularly French kick-boxing or savate. He is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, using street-fighting techniques and acrobatics. Gambit is a skilled card-thrower, and throws charged playing cards with great accuracy at opponents. He also excels in all aspects of thievery, as he was adopted by the patriarch of a Thieves' Guild.

He's not agile enough to dodge bullets or strong enough to lift a car. He takes just as long to recover from injuries as any normal human, and his eyes tend to get warm in prolonged direct sunlight. He can see in lower-light than a normal human as his eyes produce a subtle light of their own, but because of this, bright lights temporarily blind him. His rash decisions tend to get him into some dicey situations. Really, he causes no end of trouble.
