Character Name: Wade Wilson (Deadpool) Character Series: Marvel Comics Character Age: Adult, real age unknown Background:Here we go Personality: Deadpool is, to put it mildly, completely fucking insane. His thoughts follow very bizarre twists of logic, jumping from point A to station 9 and a half with nothing to connect them in between save for Bea Arthur and possibly pineapples. He's so crazy that not only can he see his thoughts in little yellow dialogue boxes and even talk to them, but he's convinced that he's in a comic book. And he'll let you know exactly just how insane he is, have no fear. There is absolutely no filter between Deadpool's mind and his mouth; he'll ramble on about the price of chimichangas in Peru all while putting a bullet through a guy's head. He often acts like a hyperactive little kid, one with no attention span and a love of extreme violence. He's extremely annoying, constantly making immature wisecracks, and he will never, ever shut up. Not during stealth missions, not during fights, not even when he has his head chopped off.
This insanity doesn't exactly help in his line of work as a mercenary for hire. While Deadpool is extremely good at the 'killing people' part, he's not quite as adept at the 'secretive' part, or the 'loyalty to your employer' part, or even the 'remember who the target is' part. He's about as subtle as a brick wall dressed in a neon tutu and dancing the Macarena; he's incredibly reckless and will go charging straight into gunfire and fights where he's hopelessly outnumbered, cackling and cracking jokes the entire way. It helps, of course, that he has a healing factor and can recover from just about any injury, leading him to often seek out dangerous and bloody battles just for shits and giggles...and then several issues later, wear a dress to hide from monkey hitmen because come on, getting shot hurts. (Have we mentioned the insane part yet? Consistent characterization is for people who aren't having their brains constantly changing and healing itself thanks to their regeneration power.)
He's also unfortunately not exactly the brightest bulb in the box, what with having dropped out of high school and all. It's quite easy to manipulate Deadpool initially, as he's often either too thick or just doesn't care enough to question his orders; on the other hand, he's so unpredictable that any attempt to rely on him may backfire wildly. He's been known to both try to kill and save people's lives for no reason other than 'he felt like it' – sometimes even the same people on the same day. That said, though, Deadpool's certainly not stupid – he can speak seven different languages fluently – he just can't focus enough to ever put his intelligence to its full potential. He actually can be quite clever when he puts his mind to it; for example, he manages to trick the entire X-Men team and the public into believing that he's a menace who needed to be stopped, when really, his goal was to just improve the X-Men's image and make them look like heroes for bringing down the mad merc.
As is probably obvious by now, Deadpool is a character full of contradictions, and his morals are no different. He's done some incredibly heinous acts in his lifetime, such as keeping a blind old woman as his prisoner and locking her in a tiny room filled with sharp objects when he's angry at her; on the other hand, he's also shown so much remorse for this and kindness towards her that she forgave him and can't help staying with him voluntarily, even when he offers her freedom. He goes above and beyond the call of duty to help out his (dubiously) heterosexual life partner, turning down the best job offer he's ever had because he believed in him and stealing alien embryos to save his life even though he wasn't getting paid for it; a few issues later, he's gunning down that same partner because the government hired him to. There are certain lines he won't cross though: he won't hurt kids ever. He makes friends easily because of how charismatic and crazy awesome he is, then loses them just as easily due to his selfishness and insanity. Deep down, Deadpool is actually a bitterly, bitterly lonely person who's convinced that no one will ever stay with him because he knows just how terrible of a human being he really is; it also doesn't help that underneath the mask, he's actually hideously scarred and deformed, driving even more people away. His worst fear is to be alone forever; despite all his outward protests to the contrary, he really just wants to be respected and cared about.
That said, he's acknowledged this fear to himself and how morally reprehensible he is, and he constantly strives to fix himself, to be like the superheroes who don't have to think hard on what's right and what's wrong. Deadpool is a chaotic neutral character who desperately wants to be chaotic good, but always falls just a few straws short. There have been a couple of times when he's tried not to kill anyone – not because he found anything wrong with it, but because he knows that Good Guys do, and he wants so badly to be a Good Guy, to be acknowledged and admired like the X-Men and the Avengers and all those other shiny characters on the side of Justice. Unfortunately, it never quite turns out as he planned, whether due to him screwing it up or circumstances beyond his control, and he goes back to being the ruthless mercenary with little regard for human life. He's really not a bad guy, though, for all of his instability and insanity; when push comes to shove, Deadpool usually winds up siding with the right side, even if he has to be bribed, blackmailed, and cajoled into it.
Abilities: The biggest one is his healing factor. He's virtually indestructible; he can regrow and reattach any of his limbs or organs, including his head. This healing factor also gives him superhuman stamina and speed, as his muscle cells are constantly regenerating and don't tire out the way a normal human's would. He's also mostly immune to telepaths and the like because his brain cells are constantly in flux.
His insanity is also an ability! Deadpool has terminal cancer that is constantly being fought back by his healing factor, resulting in his skin and brain being incredibly messed up. This allows him to completely shatter the fourth wall; he's well aware that he's in a comic book (and has been in video games and movies), and can even see his own inner monologue boxes. Once he regains this ability, he will be aware that he's in an LJRP, although he won't actually do anything about it other than make the occasional reference and joke, because again, completely insane. (This power is more for humor's sake than anything else; Deadpool's not going to be less wary of Lucy Smith because he knows she's an NPC being played by the mods, for example. Mayfield is still going to be his world, if that makes sense.)
As for learned abilities that he'll be arriving with, he is very strong, although not to a superhuman extent – he's recorded as having the strength of an Olympic level weightlifter. He's also an extremely good shot and insanely good with blades, especially his twin katanas; he's on record as probably being one of, if not the, best swordsmen in the Marvel Universe. Basically, he's as good a fighter as you'd expect from a superhero, even if he doesn't exactly fit the billing.
Although I'm resetting his memories, he'll be arriving with all of his regains from his past stay at Mayfield: his costume, his katanas, his teleporter, and his regeneration.
