A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Slade's superhuman abilities granted by an experimental super soldier serum enhance his body's natural capabilities, primarily allowing him to heal sever injuries over the course of days rather than months, and a highly enhanced mental factor allowing him to focus his senses to functionally enhance them temporarily, increase reaction time, and overall allow for an incredible mental capacity. Regular use of the highest capacities of his brain often results in intense migraines.
Wade's regeneration is beyond much logic or reason, as he can regenerate even a lost limb in hours. As far as he's tested, he's functionally immortal. -

S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Slade is a genius, with astonishing intellect and a depth of experience and knowledge to match his unparalleled martial prowess. Wade is by no means his rival, but has come a long way in matching up in terms of combat capability despite his lack of natural talent or supplemented super serum. His academics are roughly at an 8th grade level, though even that is often hindered by the years of substance abuse he continues to suffer. -
T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Slade has an eidetic memory, able to recall any of his experiences without fail. Wade claims he once snorted a ceramic coke spoon, but X-rays scans have not been able to corroborate this. -

Every dynasty starts somewhere. A generation ago, the Wilson family was known by its partiarch, Nathaniel Wilson, a wifebeating drunk who was a bit cleverer than most. From their home of abuse, two siblings separated by cover a decade would take two radically different paths in life. Slade would join the military before getting chosen for a super soldier program. With a veritable fortune made from mercenary work and bounty hunting, he would found a family and enter an early retirement. Wade, watching their mother die slowly from a particularly nasty beating, would stumble on the path of the brother he had equal part idealization and disdain for, falling into a world of crime where he too would undergo a type of super soldier serum injection, with radically different results. A few more years would strip him of the only love he’d ever found, and no amount of blood or drugs seemed to make up for it.
Slade, by all accounts, should have left Wade to the wayside. Wade would have been the first to agree. But upon their first family meeting in over twenty years, Slade revealed bigger plans. Wade had nothing, and Slade everything. But they lived in a world that seemed like it would crumble at any moment. If not from supervillains and their schemes of apocalypse, then it would be those politicians and CEOs who let all those within it grind themselves to dust and blood for the right to live while they drink the blood pulled from the stone by another's hand. Regardless of how the once enstranged brothers feel about each other, family is family, and blood is blood. Slade has everything to lose and everything to give, while Wade has nothing to lose and a life he can't even if he tried.

Famously, Deadpool was created as a character derivative of Deathstroke before finding his own identity and popularity, allowing him evolve from and arguably eclipse the original. The idea of making them a mercenary/assassin brother duo started as a joke, but alongside the inherent silliness came ideas of telling a genuine story with as much seriousness as can be allowed from a pair that includes Deadpool. As a big fan of duality, that contrast is something I leaned into, and expect to pull more out of. Deadpool is often ridiculous, but his demeanor is also a blatant defense mechanism for the pain and struggle that he often has to go through. Conversely, Deathstroke is serious to the point of being silly in his own right, which I plan to note in his dynamic with Deadpool. I’m very much looking forward to exploring the two. Slade has to ground himself after living an ideal and bombastic life most only dream about, where Wade starts to climb himself up from the very bottom after folling as low as one can go, all the while the two reconciling their own history and struggle to try and make a sad, violent world better when the only language they can communicate with it is more violence. Also they’re going to fight Walmart ninjas.
Aside from finding means to interact with other players when the opportunity presents itself, their own story might touch on some of my frustrations with the world of today, taking some older ideas I had involving a world of corporate espionage fought between superpowered ninja mercenaries in the shadows of the world at large. I know who writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards.

Thankfully, a month gives me time to handwave the Martians getting to New York, getting an apartment, getting jobs, and settling in. Now I just have to make the final decisions on where people end up.
If they're a test subject they won't be having a good time
I wasn't expecting Asher to have a good time as a test subject.
But perhaps I'll just leave Asher to be a loose end who can join in random character interactions around New York. He could always become an Oscorp test subject later, if not an Alchemax, Cadmus Project, Mandarian, or Argus one.

I'm cool with whatever just send me more deets in a message of privacy
I got hit by the big tired when doing the middle section (I typed it last for some reason) so I'm not too proud of it but happy with that post overall.
