Copyright (Marvel/DC/ect): Marvel

Apparent Age: mid- to late-twenties
Hair: appears to be naturally red

Height and weight: 5'10", 130 lbs
Appearance: Although a shapeshifter, Mystique's natural appearance is striking. Blue-skinned and red-haired, she is tall, lean, and graceful.

Picture:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: shapeshifting, limited regenerative healing (resulting in her incredible longevity), resistance to poisons
Learned Abilities: hand-to-hand combat prowess, skilled also in strategy and manipulation
Equipment: If there's a weapon on any kind on hand, Mystique is more than likely able to use it: guns, knives, and garrottes especially.
Weaknesses: Mystique has been known to endure psychological meltdowns in the past. Although in possession of a disciplined and highly intelligent mind, she can be emotionally unstable.
Background: Her exact origins are unknown, as is the date of her birth. What is known is that over the course of a century, Mystique's tangled activities of intrigue and love affairs have resulted in an emotionally damaged woman. Her lovers have included Destiny, Sabretooth, and countless others. She has mothered two biological children, Graydon Creed and Kurt Wagner (a mutant like herself). She also adopted Rogue, with whom she shares a relationship marked by uneasiness and, at times, hate. As a master strategist, she has attempted to use her precognitive lover Destiny's predictions to keep a horrible future from coming to be.
Personality: While it is not unknown for Mystique to display affection (toward Rogue, or Destiny), it is rare. She is a hard woman, one who knows what she wants and how to get it, and who stands for very little getting in her way. Prone at times to mental breakdowns, she is nonetheless a highly intelligent woman with a penchant for manipulation.

Brief Sample Roleplay
The office door opened; a stiletto-heeled boot emerged, followed by a leg clad in skin-tight pants which didn't seem to end. The woman to whom it belonged sauntered out, tall, red-haired, and artfully mussed. A pleased smile, not unlike that of a cat after a good meal, sat on her full glossy lips, and she smoothed her rumpled blouse, running manicured and long-fingered hands down her waist. She gave the man still catching his breath in the room she'd just left not a single backward glance, striding with confidence down the hallway.
In the elevator, one hand possessively on her large purse, the woman pushed the button marked "Lobby" and stepped back. Examining her reflection in the metal panel into which were set the buttons, she smirked with satisfaction. The door dinged, and she walked out, calling goodbye to the receptionist as she left the building.
She passed out of sight for a moment behind a vendor selling magazines on the busy city street. The woman who emerged from the other side was blonde and petite. Successfully hailing a cab, she got in, gave the address, and reached into the purse.
"And here we are," she murmured, pulling out a thick sheath of papers stamped with Privacy warnings.
