Slade Wilson was sixteen years old when he first enlisted in the United States Army, after faking his age. He proved to be an exceptional soldier, earning decorations for valor in combat. After this, Slade was selected for the covert-operations unit, Team 7. Five years before taking the name "Deathstroke", Slade operated with Team 7, a team created to secure The Majestic Project - a plan to control future metahuman threats. It was during this time, he underwent experimentation that turned him into a super soldier. Enhancing his abilities. He was the only one to survive, and the US government deemed it easier to bury the project then have to explain where the subjects went. So Slade escaped. Taking the Moniker Deathstroke, and became the deadliest assassin. As Deathstroke, he worked for whoever paid the most. While that was often those on the wrong side of the law, there were a few occasions a Government needed some dirty work handled. Which has led to some rather dubious legal standings on where he stands. Having faced off against with the likes of Batman, Green Arrow and even Superman as well as several politicians, it was only a matter of time. The US government figured he’d be the best fall guy.

Specifically the senator for Colorado. A sticky fingered politician doing things they shouldn’t have. Higher ups found out, and figured an assassination would make a better story and incriminate less people. Said higher ups may also have been involved. Turns out it was a set up. The Titans were tipped off, and Slade was arrested. Locked up in Belle Reve. Wilson wanted to get revenge those that set him up. It wasn’t because he was arrested. It was because he didn’t get paid. It was the principle of it. He wouldn’t let that one go. [h2][color=FF4500]Abilities[/color][/h2][hr] Slade Wilson is a killer. He knows how to kill. Years of training made him a formidable hand to hand combatant, and skilled marksman. This was only increased when he underwent experimentation. Skills and abilities courtesy of DC Wiki. Deathstroke volunteered for the Enhanced Soldier Initiative, an experimental procedure that activated a dormant metagene, which evolved his brain. This greatly enhanced Slade's mental capacity, causing his mind to operate at peak efficiency, nine times beyond that of a normal man. Deathstroke's evolved mind also allows him to access his brain functions on a cellular level, granting him enhanced physical attributes. Accelerated Healing: Deathstroke possesses a greatly accelerated healing rate. His rapid healing clots blood in seconds and seals wounds in minutes. The time it takes for full healing depends upon the wound, ranging from seconds to hours, depending on the level of injury. Enhanced Senses: Deathstroke's senses are far more heightened than those of a normal human, to the extent that he can feel slight shifts in the air. Superhuman Agility: Deathstroke's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels, allowing him to easily gunfire. Superhuman Reflexes: Deathstroke's reflexes far superior to a normal human. He is able to easily react to and dodge point-blank gunfire, as well as catch arrows and daggers and thrown at him from behind, without looking. Superhuman Stamina: Deathstroke can exert himself for long periods of time, without tiring easily and while wearing heavy body armor. He has exerted himself for days on multiple occasions. During the "War of Jokes and Riddles", Deathstroke exerted himself for 5 days and 5 nights. Superhuman Strength: Deathstroke's natural strength has been augmented to superhuman levels. He is strong enough to easily snap a sword in half, overpower normal humans, throw others several feet with one arm, as well as lift and throw a large piece of concrete. [h2][color=FF4500]Character Motivations and Goals[/color][/h2][hr] Coin and principle. This iteration of the Terminator is motivated by money and honour. He takes pride in his professionalism and abides by a set of rules. He won’t turn on his employer, or leave a job until it’s done. He expects the same respect he shows his clients shown to him. He doesn’t betray his clients, and he expects not to be betrayed. After being set up, he intends to make an example. I intend for this Deathstroke to be more of a team player then he traditionally was. Pulling more from conventional military camaraderie and professionalism. If he is treated with respect, he will give respect. As a player, I would like Deathstroke to grow as a team player. To have his morals and code pushed. Maybe the ones who set him up also are responsible are supporting some of the actions the Squad is thwarting. [h2][color=FF4500]Character Notes[/color][/h2][hr] I intend for this iteration of Deathstroke to fulfil the Deadshot role which normally comes with the Suicide Squad. With him focusing more on weapons like rifles. While he will still use his signature sword, staff and handguns, he will act more as a sniper than a brawler. This iteration has worked for Waller in the past, and holds her with great respect. [h2][color=FF4500]Relationships[/color][/h2][hr] TBD Though will probably bond with Grifter over previous military experience, and respects the team as he trusts Waller to pick the right people for the job.
