The FATE: of Rogue of the X-Men

Talking about MSH Rogue with Mike Lindsey on Google+ the other day so here’s my take at various stages of her career as far as a generic Fate Core game goes

Rogue – New to the X-Men

Reformed Evil Mutant power stealer
I can’t control mah power!
Not sure old baldy can really help me
My mother is a bad example
Mentally Unstable Dual Personality Immune to Takeover

+3 Deceive
+2 Athletics, Burglary, Physique
+1 Fight, Notice, Provoke, Stealth
-1 Lore, Will
3 Refresh

3 Physical Stress
1 Mental Stress
2 4 6 Consequences

Stunts

*Ms Marvel Array – Flight (+1), Body Armour (+3), Super Strength (+3)
Power Absorption (+5)
Catch : Cannot absorb artificial abilities like power armour or extra body parts

Rogue must touch a victim with her bare skin and make a successful Power Absorption roll to take all their Stunts/Skills/Powers giving the victim a one scene unconscious Consequence. If there are powers or abilities equal to or higher than her level she must make a Physique roll or similarly take a one scene unconscious Consequence. If hers are higher already she keeps her own. Mental Skills or powers are not able to be copied. The effects last for a scene unless she deliberately or is forced to keep contact longer. If this happens she must make a Will roll to prevent permanent power theft. Being Mentally Unstable and adding a third personality would lower her Will another rank and increase her Mind Control immunity. If a scene is long it is fictionally appropriate for the powers to wear off, perhaps with a compel.
