Rogue history, pre Fandom_Tropolis
Rogue is a mutant. She absorbs people through her skin, their personalities, memories, and in the case of other mutants, their powers. The longer the contact lasts, the longer the effects last. If the contact lasts long enough, the person will die and Rogue will have their personality in her head forever. Even if they do not die, she does retain a bit of their personalities and memories, especially if there was long or repeated contact.
In the years her power has been active, Rogue has learned to control the other people in her head. She can, for the most part, block out the portions of their personalities she doesn’t like or need, and has incorporated certain things into her own personality. For example, she tries hard to remember Logan’s fighting skills. She also retains a small bit of their powers, but not enough to really change anything.
Rogue also has pills that will supress her mutation for six hours at a time. She uses them very sparingly, as her body can build up a resistance to them (and has in the past). She usually only takes one when she's going to have sex, and not even always then. She has a large collection of body stockings and cat suits to make that easier.
D'Ancanto is a rather Hispanic name, though Rogue doesn't really look all that Hispanic. This is hugely different from Rogue's comic background, and is drawn mostly from my own imagination. Since the whole Mystique/step mother thing was thrown out in the movies, I get free reign.
Marie Ann (Maria Anna) D'Ancanto was the third of four children born to Carlos D'Ancanto and Nancy Johnson. She has two older sisters, Ellen (Yelena), four years older; and Sara, two years older; and a younger brother, Carlos Jr., who is four years younger than she is.
Her father's parents emigrated from Spain, but he was born in America. Marie and all her siblings have Spanish-American names (Maria, Yelena, Carlos) that their paternal grandparents call them, but they go by the Anglicized versions most of the time. Unlike most Mississippi residents, Marie grew up Catholic.
When her powers manifested, she put her boyfriend Cody (the movie says David, but that's ridiculous, so it's Cody, gorram it) into a coma. Her parents and grandparents disowned her, calling her a devil or a demon. Her sister Sara is also a mutant, but didn't realize until Rogue's powers appeared. She is very mildly empathic and telepathic (since I think Rogue's powers are in this family) and was the only family member who has kept contact with Marie. (A lot of the dresses are Sara's; she was the sister who ran for homecoming queen, and was also in a lot of pageants. Telepathy and empathy make her really good at them.)
Rogue spent the first semester of her junior year at fandomhigh in Virginia. She briefly dated Shane, a relationship which ended badly. Rogue was very torn up for a while afterward, because the relationship, while short, was very intense. Then Logan, who she’d had feelings for since they first met, came to visit, and admitted he had feelings for her as well. They started a long-distance non-relationship, since she was still at school and he was still running around Canada. She flirted with John Connor, but left the school before anything could really happen.
At the end of her first semester in Fandom, Xavier wrote her and asked her to come home. She agreed, and finished high school in Westchester. She stayed on at the mansion after high school, joining the X-Men and attending a local community college while her classmates went off to four-year universities. She stayed, not out of a sense of obligation, but because she really, honestly believed in what Xavier was doing. She taught at the school, working with kids who, like her, had no real family to speak of anymore. She finished her associate’s degree in three years, at the same time a bunch of ex-students came back to join the team.
When they all came back, she talked with Xavier, and they decided to set up an outreach program in Metropolis. With all the weirdness the city attracts, they were sure that mutants would show up here, and Xavier wanted a safe place they could come to. Rogue volunteered, finally realizing she’d missed something by staying in Westchester for college. She moved to Metropolis and set up the office.
She and Logan started dating when she turned 18 and have been together ever since, but their relationship hasn’t been a smooth one. They’ve broken up and gotten back together several times, usually after a big fight. Logan thinks she should have gone away to school, and not let Xavier control her life. Rogue thinks he should stay with her, and help fight for mutant rights instead of traipsing across Canada looking for a past he doesn’t even want to find. Logan thinks he’s too old for her, and Rogue has, at times, wanted to date around. He thinks she shouldn’t have joined the team and used her powers so much, and she thinks he’s overprotective and being ridiculous. But every time they fight, they end up back together because they honestly love one another. At the moment, they’re not together, because he’s off in Canada doing some unnamed mission for himself or Xavier-even she doesn’t know. He visits her from time to time, and she often drives up to visit him, when he’s stationary for long enough to let her know.
