Grade Card: Gambit

[Hank McCoy]

As an experiment, I'm going to be setting up some polls for the canon folks so that people can give a general "grade card" style review of their performance if they choose to. This will hopefully let those of us who play recognizable characters know if we're doing something people can enjoy and relate to.

Since I haven't been posting much lately due to my rather untimely demise, I'll exempt myself from this exercise for now.

If any non-canon folks want one of these put up please let me know.

If you have any helpful comments for the person who portrays this character , please add them.

I'm not even sure where I should start.

Gambit is one of the tougher characters to play. He's a complicated guy, which is what I love about him. He's a thief, a charmer, an honourable man, a romantic, a liar, a bastard, and he does everything with a Cajun flair. Also, one of the best written accents I've ever seen. It sounds like Gambit in my head. Awesome job all around.

I've liked everything I've written with him, with my lil' Acolyte Jubilee. They're both confused as hell, and they're both still trying to keep this friendship going. Gambit working for Magneto is great. But he still has these links back to the X-Men and the side of right. Fantastic.

Rems has been a favorite of mine since the mission to save Xavier. God, that seems not that long ago when you think about it. He's one of the few that treated Christine like she was a normal girl most of the times he interacted with her.

And how can I hate someone who introduced her to the glories of the "Purple Grasshopper"

Very much agree with Jubilee on the voice. It's Gambit.

And the only thing that ever clues me in that it's a masterful skill (instead of just...the way Gambit talks as written by Gambit) is the fact that the voice doing the narration doesn't talk anything at all like that.

Sneaky, deceptive, and dead-on.

Growing up, Gambit has always been one of my favorite characters...among the top three actually. When I first saw Gambit here on this site I thought it looked like well done job, but as I roleplayed with him as different characters in different scenes and started reading some of the other scenes that he was in, I started to realize that this is a very very well done characterization.

There's plenty of the Cajun charm that comes through. He's a womanizer, and at once both lighthearted and ready to brood any second. As far as accents go, I have never seen one written better and more consistently believable.

Very well done.

And Bobby's glad he doesn't talk about himself in third person like he did in the cartoon.

Remy LeBeau… My wacked out best-friend and womanizer. There’s not much I can say without repeating all of the above… But I’ll praise you anyway.

I am (what is it… third-ing?) the compliments on the accent. Very very very sexy. Even though I AM slightly biased. ;D No third-ish person! YAY! Ya absolutely pegged the most twisted character in the entire X-men Universe, and great job with the interaction!

Now I’ll try to be original: The relationship between Rogue and Remy has been absolutely superb! I loved the arguments in the beginning, and how working through the universal plotline has made them stronger and the opened idea of friendship is a completely new terrain from which loads of interesting ideas develop.

Thanks for stickin’ with me! Mwah!

Best Remy I've ever, *ever* seen. Anywhere.

Angsty, funny, and generally Remy-like! I automatically compare every other Gambit I see RPd anywhere to ours, here.

*glomps Rems*

updating this because Remy is just that awesome
don't know how things are going to go in that AU we've created based on an incident before the House of M arc, but I can tell you one thing, it's going to be awesome because Remy is showing us a side we rarely get to see.

My heart's already breaking for him because he still has feelings for Rogue and he's trying to live but everything's telling him to go back
