Civilian Identity
Slade Joseph Wilson
Alias
Deathstroke
Gender
Male.
Age
Around 60 though appears to be late thirtees or so.
Occupation
Mercenary for hire.
Appearance
Slade is a medium sized, buffed man, despite his age. He stands around 6' 4" feet and weights 225 pounds. Starting from the top, his hair is short and pulled back, it's also of a white color. He has a short moustache-beard combo and he almost never shaves, unless necessary for his mission. Also, his eyes are of a very light blue.
Like I mentioned before, despite his age, Slade is a very muscular man. Even when wearing his costume his muscles can be noticed.
He always assumes a very rigid posture, whether he is walking, sitting or just standing around.
Slade has always the same costume. It's composed of only two colors, his signature colors, orange and dark blue. He wears a dark blue, tight and chainmail-style uniform, with orange underpants on the outside, orange gloves that almost extend to his elbow, orange boots which are folded and last but not least, his mask which is half dark blue and half orange, with the right eye covered in the dark blue part and the other eye showing at the orange part, also, the strings that are used to tie his mask are always dangling on the back of his head.
As for accessories, Slade wears a bandoleer which comes from his right shoulder, goes across his torso and connects behind his back, a orange belt with some pouches around it, a holster on his left leg, which he uses to carry his Mauser and a Promethium sword, which he carries on his back, accompanied by his Power staff.
All of the pieces from Slade's armor, even his mask, are made out of a Kevlar and promethium mesh, making it incredibly resistant.
Personality
Frankly, Deathstroke is a jerk, he was always a cocky and arrogant prick and he will remain so until the day he dies. He hates almost everything for no apparent reason and he seems to hate people the most and that's probably the reason why he likes killing so much...
Deathstroke does his best to try and make things logical seeing that emotions can get in the way of business and this was proved right time and time again. One time Deathstroke let a target live because he had a family to return to and the penalties that came with that action were grave. Ever since that day things changed for him, he didn't even let the target say a word to him and all the information he asked were all on a need-to-know base.
Even though he tells himself he doesn't care about his ex-wife, he still thinks about her and his sons. It's been a few years since his ex-wife died and even more since he last laid eyes on any of his children, but he put that life behind him, he is a mercenary after all and people tend to hold grudges when someone close to them gets killed, so to prevent any misshapes Deathstroke decided it was best if his wife and children would cease to see him.
Deathstroke is mostly a lone wolf, he doesn't need or want anyone assisting him. He takes his job rather seriously, if the target is eliminated by anyone but him, he will hunt him down.
The image of his former life still haunts him to this day, he longs for his family, but he cannot return to them, even if they wanted him back it would be too big of a risk, so that shows Deathstroke's human side and his weakness.
Deathstroke also hates authority, he defies it with everything he's got. As a mercenary he has the right to do so seeing that he is the one that does the job... This aspect of his personality makes people who hire him hate him so much.

Background:
Slade was the son of a Sergeant and ever since he was little, he dreamed of becoming a hero, just like his father. He was not the only one excited with this idea, his father was obviously proud about this and when Slade finally became sixteen, his father enlisted him in the army.
At first it was tough. The army life proved challenging and the constant yells didn't make it any easier, but after a few years, Slade was finally a corporal and was sent to serve his country by serving a stint in Korea. Later he was assigned to Camp Washington where he was promoted to Major and where he would meet Captain Adeline Kane, his future wife. She was astonished by Slade’s technique and soon they fell in love. She started to train him and with her help Slade mastered all forms of fighting that could be learn in the American army and soon he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. A few months then Slade got married to Adeline, she became pregnant with their first child, though when the Vietnam war began Slade was shipped overseas, so he missed the birth of his first son, Grant.
After the war, Slade became obsessed with getting even better so he enlisted in a medical experiment designed to stimulate his adrenal gland in the hopes of increasing a soldier's ability to resist truth serums, against his family wishes. The experiment did not go as expected and Slade slipped in a coma.
A few months he awakened at the military hospital, but something changed in him; he somehow gained physical and mental abilities that where way beyond great and were even described as godly by some. He could tap 90% of his brain’s functions and he could do amazing things, like easily lift cars and run at 30 mph. He also became more aware of his surroundings. After the doctors tested him to see if he was ready to leave the hospital, he tried returning to the army but he was denied.
Feeling that he should use his powers for something he became a mercenary and started taking hits. He told his wife he became a safari hunter so she wouldn't suspect the large amount of money Slade would receive. Although Slade gained some powerful enemies due to this. One day, hitman destroyed his home and kidnapped their second son, Joseph. His wife asked why and he had no choice but to tell her. Adopting the black and orange suit he swore vendetta on those that defiled his home and kidnapped his offspring.
After some skulls were smashed, he finally found out who kidnapped his son, unfortunately when he confronted the kidnapper he gambled a bit, thinking he could kill him before he could have the chance of killing his son. Joseph got his throat cut and was rushed to the hospital. He was saved, although his vocal cords were cut. Enraged at the carelessness of his husband; Adeline grabbed her gun and shot Slade in his right eye. Slade swiftly escaped afterwords, leaving behind his wife and sons, thinking it was best to stay out of their lives so he wouldn’t make them suffer even more then they already did.
Now Slade, forsakening the family life he had, completly became Deathstroke The Terminator, the best mercenary money could buy. The highest bidder would have the honor of their target or targets be eliminated by the very best.
Base of Operations:
N/a, Slade doesn’t stay at one place for too long as it might enable his enemies to find out where he is.

Sample Post:
Slade was pushing the pipe away from him and Rose was pulling towards him. They were locked in that position and Slade didn't want anything else... This would give him a chance to at least talk to her for a bit.
"I know... After all, I would probably be the only one that could put up a fight against you kiddo... You've grown stronger since the last time I saw you.", Slade said as they both fought to shift the balance between who the pipe would hit. Slade started remembering the time that he had fought that blasted traitor that dressed up like Grant... They were once in a dreadlock like this, only difference was that it was a sword and not a pipe.
It hurt like hell whenever Slade remembered his past… The only good times he had were when Grant was born, when Joey was born and when he met Rose… Problem was, whenever something good happened, something really bad was bound to happen, or Slade would just screw things up.
Slade remembered like it was yesterday… When he got so beaten up that he needed first aid, Rose’s mother was there for him, despite abandoning her all those years ago. Slade was too busy to notice the little girl; Wintergreen, on the other hand, was the first to suspect though. Ha Wintergreen… Slade’s best friend and the one only one that stood by his side no matter what. Why do the good have to die?...
"Such is the curse of our blood… Humph… And with Wintergreen gone… It became even worse…”, Slade said with a frown, his heart aching. Though it was not his fault, Slade would always be haunted by his best friend’s voice saying “I suppose it was only a matter of time”. Slade was cursed… Whatever he touched died. ‘Till this day, Slade curses himself for not being strong enough back then to have stopped his son from killing Wintergreen… Slade will probably blame himself until the day he dies.
Rose’s words were true… Slade couldn’t do anything to make up for what he did to her. All the pain she suffered, all the trauma she endured, all the things Slade made her do, willing or unwillingly; there was no way Slade could make emends. Not even his death would satisfy Rose, Slade knew it. If she killed him, she would be alone in this world, something Slade knows too well. He wouldn’t let that happen to her.
Slade’s thumb passed gently back and forth on Rose’s cheek. He never had a chance to do this."I know Rose… You’ve suffered enough by my hand. But all I can do is say ‘I’m sorry’… As much as it pains me not to be able to do anything, it’s the only thing I can do.”, Slade said as he looked at his daughter.
The water that had been pouring into the room now reached Slade and Rose, Slade’s pants were now wet as he stood there with his daughter. Another thing he was forgetting was the security outside. By now the SWAT teams were probably preparing to crash the touching reunion. But right now Slade only wanted to calm his daughter, the rest he would take care of when the time came.
When Rose’s grip on the pipe loosened, Slade took the pipe off her hand gently and threw it to the side. With the pipe gone, Slade could finally do something he probably had never done to Rose. His arms reached for her, pulling her against him. He hugged tightly as he said with a soothing tone, "Because I’m your father… And I couldn’t leave this world without saying goodbye…”.
