Rogue Cheney

Rogue Cheney is a male anime and manga character who features in Fairy Tail.

Biography

Rogue Cheney (Japanese: ローグ・チェーニ, Hepburn: Rōgu Chēni) was a male human born in the Earth Lands around 400 years ago. He lived during a time when Dragons had preyed on humanity and to combat the large beasts there was the rise of Dragon Slayers that utilised the creatures magic against them. However, this saw one of the Dragon Slayers transform into one of the creatures where he became the Black Dragon Acnologia that started killing the rest of the Dragons and terrorised the lands. Around this time, Rogue was one of many orphans where he along with four others were chosen to be Dragon Slayers by Dragons that cared for them. The five were to be part of a plot to defeat Acnologia and the Dragons bonded their souls to their charges who were dispatched 400 years into the future via the Eclipse Gate in a time when ethernano was rich in the world. They five were then to be trained to adulthood and work together to defeat Acnologia who had survived in hibernation over the centuries. However, upon arriving into the modern age, an incident occurred that separated the Dragon Slayers from one another where they each were raised independently and they came to forget their origins.

Seven years later, Sting came to inform him that Natsu and the other key members of the Fairy Tail had returned with Rogue claiming that he did not care. However, Sting pointed out that Rogue was lying and reminded him about how he admired Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox so much all those years ago. Just then, an archer from a Dark Guild arrives and shoots an arrow at the two. Sting intercepts the arrow, eats it, and then proceeds to use his Dragon's Roar. With the attack barely missing the archer, he cowardly flees. As Sting calls him scum for abandoning his comrades, Lector and Frosch appear praising the two Dragon Slayers. As they all walk away, Sting asks Rogue if he wants to duel Natsu, but Rogue showed no interest. Five days before the beginning of the Grand Magic Games, Frosch and Lector inform Sting and Rogue that Natsu and his guild decided to participate. While Sting expresses complete joy over the fact, Rogue remains indifferent. In the city of Crocus, Rogue and Sting defeat several Mages, after which they run into Natsu. The Twin Dragon Slayers proceed to deride Natsu for being a Dragon Slayer who couldn't defeat a Dragon. They then announce that they are Third Generation Dragon Slayers and Rogue explains that to become 'true Dragon Slayers', they killed the Dragon that taught them Dragon Slayer Magic.[26] Before leaving, Sting turns around and warns Natsu that if they meet in battle then he intended to show him the power of a "true" Dragon Slayer, to which Rogue replies that he has gotten bored talking with Natsu, and that he desires to leave. As the teams who passed the preliminaries of the Grand Magic Games are revealed, Rogue walks out with Sting and his team, meeting his former role model, Gajeel, along the way. Rogue remains quiet and solitary throughout much of the first day. While Sting and Rufus begin talking about Warcry from Team Quatro Cerberus, Rogue walks away saying he doesn't care, silently saying to himself that he's only interested in Gajeel. By the end of the day, Team Sabertooth was in the lead with 20 points total.

On the Second Day, during Chariot, Rogue sees that Gajeel and Natsu are also afflicted with severe motion sickness, quietly saying to himself that he believed that only he and Sting suffered from the condition. The second day ends with Sabertooth gaining 0 points, moving them down to second place. That night, Rogue is present with the rest of his guild when Sabertooth's Guild Master, Jiemma, talks about how Sabertooth is supposed to be the strongest guild. Rogue looks away when Yukino is forced to strip and subsequently excommunicated. Afterwards, while walking down the hallway, Rogue questions Sting about the harshness of their guild, stating that Yukino was their comrade, to which Sting replies that it's the norm for their guild and that Yukino only disappeared because she was weak. Frosch then asks if it will also disappear because it's weak, but Rogue says that it was not since Frosch was with him. Later on, as the Sabertooth lodgings are attacked by an intruder, Rogue and Frosch inform Sting and Lector, who have been awakened by the noise, about the situation. Sting and Rogue run down the hallway, looking for the intruder, only to find several of their guildmates being attacked by a livid Natsu, leaving the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth speechless. As their Guild Master appears, he witnesses Natsu challenge Jiemma to a fight, with excommunication from his own guild being wanted. Rogue, completely shocked, wondered if Yukino's excommunication was the reason for Natsu's intrusion. He watches as Natsu easily defeats Dobengal and furiously assaults Jiemma, only for the latter fight to be interrupted by Minerva, who reveals to have captured Happy. Natsu ceases fighting and, as he leaves the Sabertooth lodgings with Happy, expresses his belief on how a guild should be. Taking Natsu's words to heart, Rogue silently realizes that Sabertooth was completely devoid of camaraderie.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Rogue Cheney was a slim young man of average height with rather messy black hair, which almost reaches down to his shoulders, along with some strands pointing upwards on top of his head and a prominent tuft obscuring most of his forehead. His hair is later brushed to the right side of his face covering up his right eye. He has red eyes with slit pupils similar to that of a snake.

Rogue also seems to lack the sadistic tendencies shared among several of his guildmates. When Lucy was being tortured by Minerva, Rogue did not join in with his teammates' laughter. Rather, Rogue was looking away from the torture with a displeased expression, and he did not jump to Minerva's aid afterwards, unlike his team. He also appears to be unusually kind towards his guild and is very protective of Frosch. He and many of his guildmates were horrified at the 'death' of Lector, showing that he cares for his fellow guildmates.

Powers and abilities

As a Dragon Slayer, Rogue was trained in the arts of Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic (影の滅竜魔法 Kage no Metsuryū Mahō) that allowed him to wield the abilities of physiology of a Shadow Dragon. This gave him the power to generate and manipulate shadows to his every whim. With this Magic, Rogue is also able to fade himself into shadows to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks. However, if Rogue is caught while in a tangible form, or by another person in shadow form, he is then vulnerable to attacks. The shadows produced by Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic are able to be utilized in several different ways, allowing for a high level of adaptability; the shadows are able to be released in freeform, as condensed, or even molded into the shape of a weapon, taking on the properties of said chosen shape. As a member of the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers, Rogue learned this form of Magic through two means: by receiving the teachings of a Dragon named Skiadrum and by having Dragon Lacrima implanted into his body.

Among the techniques known to him included:

• Shadow Dragon's Roar (影竜の咆哮 Eiryū no Hōkō)
• Shadow Dragon's Slash (影竜の斬撃 Eiryū no Zangeki) :
• Shadow Dragon's Waxwing Flash (影竜の連雀閃 Eiryū no Renjakusen) :
• Shadow Drive (シャドウドライブ Shadō Doraibu) :
• White Shadow Dragon's Rough Silk (白影竜の絁 Hakueiryū no Ashiginu) :

In the modern age, he came to join the magic guild Sabertooth (剣咬の虎セイバートゥース Seibātūsu) that at the time was looking to be the strongest group of wizards in the Earthlands. He along with Sting came to be their most skilled fighters where they were collectively referred to as the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth (剣咬の虎セイバートゥースの双竜 Seibātūsu no Sōryū).
