APPLICATION for IMEEJI
Jun. 5th, 2018 12:58 pmPROFILE
Known as "The Merc with the Mouth," Wade Wilson aka Deadpool is a vulgar mercenary-slash-assassin, dishonorably discharged from special forces. He uses bullets and swords to straight-up murder his targets - with absurd superviolence, usually - in the same neighborhoods as the Noble X-Men. He calls himself "A fucked up tooth-fairy," a bad guy who fucks up worse guys; in other words, he uses those filthy hands of his to serve and protect those in the seedy dregs abandoned by polite society, very often under-privileged children and people who fall through the cracks. Not that he's a hero!! Heroes don't keep the cocaine they find.
While he delights in the grotesque and dark, and he smashes the fourth wall on many occasions, he comes from a dark place and the in-universe character interpretation of his antics is often taken as (with wincing and patience) madness and schizophrenia by his friends. With good reason: Wade has a LOT of stage 4 cancer, including brain cancer. Not even from some superhero origin reason - just shit luck, deeply ingraining the pathos of chaos - and knowing fighting isn't always enough - into his understanding of the world. He's alive thanks to his mutant regenerative powers, which he has thanks to kidnapping and torturous human experimentation - which only happened because human traffickers were targeting sick people desperate for cures. So, Wade is a "successful" attempt at creating a mutant. However, his healing powers are bonded to his cancer, the most obvious side effect of which is his skin - ALL of it - looks gnarled and grotesque from constant regrowth. He swings from being incredibly sensitive about it, never leaving his suit and fleeing his relationship out of fear of her reaction to his body, to flaunting it in a crop top and short-shorts and daring anyone to say something.
Despite his willingness to do SO much murder, Wade is very protective of kids and frankly pretty good with them, especially when they're awful kids. He's often a counter-balance to serious, stoic types or Good Heroes, and prefers to be in a partnership or team rather than be alone. He has a very good heart (for a remorseless killer), he's fearless, and he always lightens the mood, which is why goodie-two-shoes heroes keep falling for him and trying to get him to calm down.
PERSONALITY
Wade ALWAYS plays EVERYTHING for laughs, especially if something is very upsetting. Not that he can never be called out on it - those who know him best learn his patterns, and he's sincere on occasion, but usually only with people he trusts. He has no sense of self preservation, partially because absolutely nothing can kill him, including blowing himself to pieces. (Which, of course, he played his deep depression and suicide attempt for laughs.) Despite his occasional sensitivity about his body, he loves being as raunchy as possible, all the time. When something is Really Cool, even if it's a villain ripping him in half, he's likely to dish out the praise even with his entrails out. He is vengeful without being broody about it - tit for tat, you know - and cheerful overall. He loves teasing people, and always tries to get a little friendly dialog going. Not that he's never a shit. He can be a petty, immature, catty Bitch with a capital B, and doesn't mind taking pot-shots, physically or mentally. It's Always Sunny In Wade Wilson's Heart.
Canonically pansexual and an enormous flirt, Wade is a deeply loyal if very slutty lover, and has crushed on pretty much everyone he's ever headlined with. Currently he's proving himself wholly capable of being in a devoted, loving, healthy relationship, and he considers it as much a priority in his life as killing baddies. Despite his masculine body and fashion, he often delights in performative femininity and enjoys playing submissive both in bed and in battle. He's often skipping when he's happy and adorably kicking his feet, or leaping into the arms of his larger, buffer compatriots. Double-bonus if he's drenched in blood at the time. TRIPLE bonus if he's drenched in blood and wearing a completely useless (but sexy) sparkly dress disguise on top of his usual superhero bodysuit. He also talks to himself. A lot. And "the audience". Sometimes he will have running dialog with himself - where he "talks to his own voice-over" (I'll be using the headers when this happens). Obviously this is meta-humor but those who don't want to engage with it can very easily interpret it as tragic schizophrenia, as there is in fact plenty of evidence to support this may be true and he has very real brain damage.
He may be waaaacky, but his convictions are hard to budge and are often a source of contention with his X-Men friends. He can play hero, but the moment he knows someone is a child molester, the bullets come out and honestly fuck anyone who stops him. This isn't to say he looks down on those who are Goodie-Two-Shoes - he frankly adores them, and keeps a lot of them around as good friends, and cares about their feelings as much as he cares about making fun of them forever. He just, you know, can't be on their team. He's gotta do SO much murder, because SO many people deserve to be murdered. A victim of sexual abuse and violence himself, he's very empathetic towards other peoples' struggles and histories and often gets involved in making sure they're okay long-term, you know, after he murders who hurt them. He is also not a fan of subtlety, ever. Unless of course it's hiding his depth and vulnerability with the mask of an insane clown, so well that plenty of his writers who prefer him as JUST a toxic clown just ignore it... Which he then addresses later, in other canons. Because Deadpool is always ready to have meta discourse about his own life and the world around him as it's presented.

At his core, despite his worries about his capabilities, he wants to leave the world a better place. He's very invested in family and believes in recovery, and nurture over nature. He wants to have his own children with his girlfriend, but ends up with more of a found-family and is thrilled just the same. He is willing to lay his life down to protect others (you know, in the extremely rare instance his life is actually in danger) but is much more willing to fight for his own life and principles, if it means having a bit of happiness in this bitch of an earth.
CHARACTER IN IMEEJI
First things first: when his powers are gone, his cancer is gone too. Nice!!!! Besides that, his character honestly will not change that much from his normal state; in multiple comics Deadpool has experience with suppressing his memories HIMSELF when he does not like them, or when another author takes over his books and decides to make everything that happened in previous issues a super-weird fever dream. He will, however, be much more unhinged with no one to reel him in. He will be naturally fine with killing others, especially if it's "temporary." He will try to bond with everybody, but will always prioritize his team, who he will adore and gladly kill for. He will 100000% be into the idol thing and will have absolutely no shyness or shame about performing in any way. Unless it's WEIRD or something, in which case he will cross that bridge when he gets to it and act impulsively based on whatever he's feeling at the time. Impulse action to see What Will Happen will be at an all time high. He might accidentally die a few times and not quite get why he has no concept of self-preservation. He'll hit on every adult and adopt his whole team. He's very protective and will be prone to drama. He will make the call that he wants to be the sexy, dangerous bad-boy bitch that ANY idol group needs, and he will act like it. He will eat up drama like candy.
He's the type of character I'll give some life-changing events to, but also things like "Saw Movie Marathon" so he'll know what the hell is going on in a way that's meaningful to playing him. He LIVES off references, and will probably start making references out of games as they happen (referencing "game lore"). It's way more relevant to him to be able to crack Saw jokes during kill games and quote Miss Congeniality than, say, remember that time he hooked up with his football captain in high school. He'll just eventually ASSUME he did that.
A VERY SPECIAL DEADPOOL INTERVIEW
((Evaluate yourself honestly: what do you think your soul is worth?))
Jesus Christ, aren't WE getting intimate fast. Normally you ask a guy's name first, you naughty, naughty survey! I haven't even bared my supple body to you and you want me to bare my SOUL? Well, you can forget it, internet. I'm just not that kind of boy! Ah-ah, no takebacks! Now it can never be. Let's just move on, shall we?
((Is there anything you would do anything to achieve?))
Hell yeah. A cure for all disease? Worldwide fair redistibution of wealth and the demolition of all corrupt police states? Spider-Man being an appropriate age in my cinematic universe? I mean, I've got a whole list written up for if I ever get a Death Note, starting with The Donald and just goin' on down from there. Who DOESN'T have Death Note plans? I'm fucking ready. I have like an entire soul here and that's gotta be worth at LEAST-- aaah ah ah, you sly, sly survey! You almost had me, asking the same question twice in a row! Hah. Classic survey.
((What does hell mean to you?))
You know, some people like to be fun at parties, and make a positive first impression in social situations! But okay, let's do dark for darkness' sake, we all know that pops the biggest bottles. How about CANCER? Or the look in your loved one's eyes when you're the one that has cancer? Is that what you wanna fucking chit-chat about? We could always go with rape, or police brutality and systemic racism, working together like the worst besties ever! Hell is all around us, my darling Survey-kun. Yeesh. I didn't know Debbie Downer was giving this interview.
((Which of these nine words is the most meaningful to you, and why? Idolatry, lies, transgressions, vengeance, sorcery, plague, devastation, inquisition, or temptation?))
Toughie. Let's go with Plague. Can't beat the ten plagues for most metal God-smite ever. Plague trumps the SHIT out of the rest of those admittedly delicious words. Have you seen the Prince of Egypt? You know the plague song, right? I send a pestilence and plague
Into your house, into your bed
Into your streams, into your streets
Into your drink, into your bread!
Upon your cattle, on your sheep
Upon your oxen in your FIELD
Into your DREAMS, into your SLEEP
Until you BREAK, until you YIELD
I! SEND! THE! SWARM! I! SEND! THE! HORDE!
THUS SAAYYEETH THE LOOOORD
FUUUUCK. I just get PUMPED UP. That song goes SO HARD. I have GOT to put that on my Murder Playlist. Whew! Sorry, I'll sit back down now.
((Do you want a puppy?))
Oh my stars and garters yes! Please. Wait, no. Fuck. What's my income and does this puppy have multiple sources of care? What if someone tries to John Wick my puppy? Because I could NOT handle that.
((Have you previously owned a puppy?))
Shit. I have no idea, I only had time to review the movies. Probably not? See: Previous answer about fear of being John Wick. I'm serious, I may be immortal, but I am not Keanu Reeves. I'll just start fucking crying.
((Are you worried we've been recording this conversation?))
ARE YOU?
((Do you have any last words for us?))
Look, you and I both know I'm idol material. The body, the personality, the voice of an angel, the dirty, dirty dirt - it's all here, baby, in one tightly-wrapped sexually arousing package. Nobody can do glam and gore and fire-hot ratings like me. I can even do my own social media. Shit, I have a successful sequel. Just get your people in touch with my people, okay? Great. Love ya. Kisses!
