Profile

Mystique has many faces and many names. Her real name is Raven Darkholme, which is associated with her time as the Deputy Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the United States Department of Defense. Her true face was not associated with that role in her life. She's been a senator's wife in another incarnation. Basically, she is whomever she chooses to be, having the ability to take on the physical appearance of anyone. Her true cause is equal rights for mutants, even at the destruction of humans. She has lived over 100 years and has learned many skills during her long life. She will lie, cheat, steal and kill if it helps her achieve her goals. She's led villain teams and she has worked with the heroes. For her, everything is as mercurial as her appearance.

Sheet

Description

Click to expand.
The woman before you stands out starkly as a mutant, presuming she's not disguised as someone else. Two immediate traits are readily apparent and either could draw another's eye first; the skin over her entire body is a medium shade of blue and her eyes are solid yellow lacking pupils or irises. Her hair is a vibrant red, contrasting in an almost shocking way against the pallete of her blue skin at at the crest of her head, a small white skull rests, some intricate piece of jewelry or headband, no doubt. Her lips are painted the same color as her hair to compliment that same contrast.

She is certainly female, her curves well defined in the black leather halter top that leaves her arms and midriff bare and along with the black leather pants, the belt with the small little skull on it at the buckle, and the thick curb-stomping boots on her feet.

History

Click to expand.
Raven Darkholme was born in the late 1800s in Austria as a normal girl. It wasn't until her twelfth year that her powers appearned. Her mother was very religious and when faced with the yellow eyes of what she presumed was a demon, she cast the child out of her home. Left on her own to fend for herself, Raven barely survived her first year but she learned to adapt. To survive. To overcome. That became the theme for her life. As she learned to control her shapeshifting powers, she also learned to lie and steal if she had to for her survival. In time, she managed to move to the United States where she continued her unlawful ways, running with unsavory sorts. From thief to killer, she did what she needed and didn't think twice about the blood money.

She met a fellow mutant named Irene Adler while still a young woman and the pair became fast friends then later, they became lovers. Irene would be the only person she allowed close for many years of her life. They had their ups and downs though, sometimes parting but always going back to one another in the end. During these times, Mystique lived as alternate people including Leni Zauber. It was in this persona that she met Sabretooth briefly, both on a mission to kill the same target. The result of that time together was Graydon Creed who she left in the care of others but monitored his life until he became a teen and showed no mutancy. While she kept track of him after, he was not as important to her any longer as she had decided by then humans were the enemy as their prejudices were what forced her to live the life she did in the shadows. She blamed them for her own choices.

Years passed. She found love in the arms of Baron Christian Wagner but they were unable to have a child due to his infertility. She started spending time with other men in secret and that's when she met Azazel. Unbeknown to her, he was actually a demon. She bore him a child, Kurt Wagner, also known as Nightcrawler. She tried to raise her son who was so much like her but when the biased villagers of the area they lived sought to kill them both, she was faced with a choice. Knowing she could shapeshift but he could not, she knew what his life would be like and she chose to sacrifice the child both to save him the pain of the life she livedand to save her own skin. He was tossed away and she believed him dead until many years later.

So many lifetimes, so many identities. She served with the Israeli Special Forces in the identity of Amichai Benvenisti, learning the deadliest of skills by some of the most skilled in the world. As her life continued, as eventually took in a young girl in Mississippi. This girl would become her adoptive daughter. She taught her the ways that had kept her alive, which put the girl firmly as a villain. They faced off against multiple foes including Ms. Marvel. During this time Mystique was also living in the identity of Mallory Brickman, a US Senator's wife. Eventually she used her own name but not her true face, serving as Deputy Director of DARPA which gave her access to information and weaponry. Everything was fair game for Mystique if it helped advance her path.

She organized a group of mutants who wanted the same as her, to get mutants out of the shadows. They became the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. In time, they would become Freedom Force, working for the government instead of as villains. This time as Freedom Force had gotten her a government pardon for all crimes she'd committed in the past. As long as she behaved. She even became a member of X-Factor for a time, fighting with the good guys but if she saw something that needed dealing with, she went after it and that led to her parting from their group. Finding that the government was out to get rid of and/or control all mutants, she again focused her efforts on stopping that from happening even if it meant she had to destroy the humans to do it.

Personality

Click to expand.
Mystique is a strong woman with an amoral compass. She is very focused and goal oriented. She can be single-minded when she sets a path for herself. To the hazard of anyone that gets in her way. She has no problem with lying or manipulating people to get what she wants.

She does not let people in, doesn't trust easily. When she does let someone in, she may still keep parts of herself from them because she has grown so used to keeping secrets it is just an ingrained part of her being. This is not to say she doesn't love. She does and deeply, that same single minded focus she has on her goals focused on that other person. She will protect them with her life if she cares for them. It's just hard to get past those walls for that to happen.

Others see things like killing as wrong. For Mystique, it is an ends to a mean and no emotions are attached to it. She does what she must, in her mind.

Abilities

Click to expand.
METAMORPH
Mystique is able to alter the formation of her biological cells with a thought. She can duplicate anyone as long as they are humanoid in appearance. She will become an exact duplicate of the person including sex, voice, fingerprints, retinal patterns, and palm/skin patterns becoming an absolute perfect copy of the person save for the fact she cannot duplicate another person's scent. The transition from one form to another is instantaneous when she chooses to do so. In addition, she can manipulate her own form to simulate any clothing visually or even simulate the appearance and refractive capabilities of metal to simulate armor as well as make additional growths appear (such as claws like Wolverine) though these are only copies made from her own body and do not have those items intrensic properties.

She has such precise control she can go beyond regular shapeshifting to simply duplicate people. She can move her major organs to other locations to protect them if she needs for any reason. She can change her skin color, allowing her to camouflage to an extent much like that of a chamelon. Somehow she is able to manipulate her body mass, drawing it from somewhere but it is not understood where. She can take on the form of someone as large as Blob or as small as Puck but she wouldn't be able to go further above or below those limits.

PSYCHIC DEFENSE
Due to the fluidity of her form and brain, it is difficult to manipulate Mystique or read her thoughts through psonic/psychic influence. She has a natural defense against mind reading and is somewhat resistant to other types of mental attacks but a psionic bolt by a strong telepath can take her out as much as any other person. She may recover from it more quickly due to her regenerative capabilities.

REGENERATION
Mystique's cells duplicate at an advance rate, allowing for her to heal more rapidly from wounds. She can mentally focus to speed up the process even more than it already is. Because her body is constantly regenerating, her aging process is greatly reduced, allowing her to survive for centuries if she avoids major injuries. Injuries that may kill a normal human being she can recover from in a short period of time. This ability also gives her a resistance to toxins and disease since her body will reject them immediately. She has enhanced physical strength, speed, agility, reflexes and senses since all of these areas are kept at optimum health by her body.

Skills

Click to expand.
COMBAT
Mystique's long life has allowed her to learn extensive combat and weapons skills. From hand-to-hand training in the Mossad to advanced experimental weapons with DARPA, her experience is vast and high level. In hand-to-hand combat, she would be on par with Captain America and the Black Widow. She is an expert marksman with any type of firearm in the world.

COMPUTERS
Mystique is dangerous with a computer, and realized their potential the moment they came on scene. Having 'been there since the begining', she can virtually hack or expose any system, or nearly fluently use any system she's not used before. Only other world-class hackers or tech geniuses if she's trying to access information from the outside. If she's inside? Kiss your data goodbye, most likely.

ESPIONAGE
With her ability to copy a person exactly, Mystique is the perfect spy and perhaps the best in the world because of that, coupled with her many years of experience in the field and honed skillset. She is able to act exactly like the person she is emulating. She can manipulate people to gain information or access to locations. She knows security and how to bypass it. She can get into places that are supposed to be impossible to breach, by skill alone and if not, by taking the place of someone who would be there. She would be considered on par with the Black Widow in her skill at espionage.

LANGUAGES
Mystique is able to speak at least eleven languages including English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Farsi, Czech, and Russian.

SCIENCE
Mystique has been shown to have extensive knowledge in the field of science, even allowing for her to actually create a virus and anti-virus. It is not something she uses often but should there be a need, she would be comfortable in a lab setting performing advanced scientific tasks.

Resources

Click to expand.
IDENTITIES
Mystique can be anyone. She has a wide variety of established identities she can assume instantly should she choose. With a little work on her part, she can have any paperwork or identification necessary to become another in a short period of time. These identities are through multiple countries throughout the world, always giving her a way out when things get too hot for the current one.

MONEY
Mystique has been alive over 100 years. She has saved up money to have available to her when she needs it. She literally has millions of dollars she has earned either through her mercenary or larcenous means. This money is stored all over the world in a variety of accounts under a wide range of identities. If she needs it, she can afford it.

SAFEHOUSES
With the many sudden exits she has had to make, Mystique learned not to keep all her eggs in one basket. She has safehouses all over the world. They are owned under a variety of identities. There are resources kept at all of them, from money to weapons to new identification paperwork. These can be anything from a penthouse in Manhattan to a hovel in Austrian mountains or anything in between.

WEAPONS
Between the years she has been alive and her time at DARPA, Mystique owns practically every type of weapon under the sun, including some that are experimental. From firearms and blasters to swords and daggers. While she can use all of them, she has a particular love of firearms/blasters which she often has concealed on, or even within, her body. Like all things, she has caches of these spread all over the world should she need them.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.
METAMORPH LIMITATIONS
Mystique is only able to copy the appearance of someone else. She is not able to copy their powers. Were she to take on the form of Colossus, she would be an exact replica of him but she would not have actual metallic skin. It may look like it and it will be a hardened version of her skin but it would not be metal and would not have that level of resistance. She may take on the appearance of Archangel's wings but she would not actually be able to fly.

MISTRUSTED
Because Mystique has, and does, shift loyalties from time to time, she is not the most trusted person on the planet by many parties. There are, perhaps, one or two that might trust her because they know her agenda aligns with theirs completely. Others might work with her if there was a common goal or need or she was -realy- convincing, but they most assuredly would question her motives, or be waiting for the knife in the back to come, unless they didn't know her.

SCHIZOPHRNENIA
Mystique is not mentally stable. Spending long amounts of time as other people throughout her life, in addition to the physical shifting of her brain into other shapes, has led to a mental instability which leads to many of her mercurial mood shifts and changes of loyalties.
