Disconnected; The Perks of Being Insane

"I wasn't much of a fan, but I did play it, yeah. Well, at least until I discovered I can.." Ethan made another abrupt stop, as his sight scurried away. His heartbeats fastened for a split second or so. He got too involved in the conversation, so involved that he almost gave away his status as a Disconnector. While the blue-eyed boy was certain that Steph wasn't one to judge, Disconnectors were perceived as mentally insane by the society ever since their appearance, in spite of the fact that top neuropsychologists around the world have confirmed the occurrence is not a mental disorder or in anyway related to one. It was expected someone would eventually set up an awareness tour, or a pro-Disconnecting movement, but Disconnectors haven't gone through enough loathing to have that privilege, so they're left fending off for themselves. What better way to do that than to remain closeted, unable to unfold your talent and creativity, right?

"Uh, time to go", an awkward Ethan stammered as he lifted himself up, the noisy school jocks waltzing and bumping past him. He had a tendency to stay in the corner of the bus until it was all clear, in order to avoid the daily abuse by the cool kids, but since Steph had occupied the best spot he had to get up and make way for her. That's the least he could do after the decent treatment he got.

Roze's last post was four days ago, in here. Maybe we should check again to see if she's still with us.

Suicide Squad: Fresh Meat.

Usually the GM is supposed to get the introduction post up, but I'd be more than willing to give it a shot.

It's either you, or Roze. I can make a response to Mazoy's post, but I don't want to break the cycle.

I fear that by the time we return, so will the frequent downfalls.

I don't know whether it's the fact that everyone is busy so close to Christmas or it's been fixed, but the Guild seems to be pretty stable so far. I'll give it a few days and if it makes a recovery, we can stay!

Yeah, let's leave the thread you made on the other forum on stand by. I'm really not that big on continuing the RP there, considering it's far more inferior than this forum.

Suicide Squad: Fresh Meat.

"Character Sheet" said He gave it a paint, made himself an eyepatch using fabric from his old clothes and took the identity of Deathstroke; The One-Eyed Merc. He has managed to survive Wayne's lifespan prediction, currently aged fourty-five years old.

I was simply going with DSW's sheet format.

Suicide Squad: Fresh Meat.

"Deathstroke"

Real Name: Slade Wilson.

Code name: Deathstroke

Prison Inmate #: 025

Appearance: When he took the mantle of the legendary mercenary Deathstroke, Slade brought with him a military exosuit which he would later modify to fit his liking. The original version had a grey-ish black color, but a paint job later and it turned into a mix of navy and orange. The suit itself is quite heavy, build to serve as a placeholder for a load of pouches that carry important equipment. A utility belt wraps around his waist while another belt starts from his ribs and reaches up to his right shoulder. Two holsters, each one carrying a handgun, are placed in his thighs. His left shoulder is comprised of slots that carry extra ammo and finally, a metal sword sheath is set on his back. Except for the mask, there are no parts in the suit that can be removed without damaging it's entire structure.

Slade himself is a man of rugged good looks. He has gray hair,a toned body and a severed right eye, courtesy of his malignant disease, which he covers using a black eyepatch. He also sports a goatee.

History: Slade Wilson came into this life as the bastard son of Mara Wilson and William Randolph Wintergreen. Shortly after his birth, both his parents came to a mutual agreement that Slade was nothing more but a burden and decided to ditch him in front of an orphanage founded by The Wayne Foundation. At the age of 12, Slade started showing extraordinary capabilities, being able to scale a chestnut tree in a jiffy. Accompanying his superhuman capacity was also a great desire for blood, shown when he nearly strangled one of the caretakers. Things weren't look good for little Slade when, one day, his right eye blew up in an instant while his left one was in the verge of doing so if it wasn't for the intervention of Thomas Wayne himself. The man already came to a conclusion that something was wrong with Slade, so he used most of his funds to research on his condition and attempt to discover a way to prevent it. Turns out what Wilson the kid was carrying was a malignant disease of a genetic nature, most likely inherited from his father, Wintergreen. The disease gave Slade superhuman abilities, but with a catch; he would die in about eight years or so. There was no way to stop the illness from killing him, but Wayne did invent a cure that could ease the pain.

Four years later, with the death of the Wayne couple, the orphanage was shambles. Slade, now a sixteen year old kid whose skills were too much for anyone willing to adopt him, escaped the orphanage with the intention of paving his own way. There, he was frequently contacted by a masked hitman who had dubbed himself The Terminator. After a brief confrontation with him, the hitman revealed himself to be Slade's biological father, William, who had stolen a military exosuit that in turn would frequently supply him with anti-bodies to deflect the cancerous cells. He was willing to give Slade the blueprints to build another one, but Slade had a better idea - that was, to kill Wintergreen and keep the suit for himself. He gave it a paint, made himself an eyepatch using fabric from his old clothes and took the identity of Deathstroke; The One-Eyed Merc. He has managed to survive Wayne's lifespan prediction, currently aged fourty-five years old.

Slade's last contract ended with the employer ratting him out and, after some time, having him imprisoned in the Belle Reve prison.

Powers/Abilities: Superhuman strength - Slade is able to effortlessly lift a sleeping bed using only one hand. While 'superhuman' may be quite a stretch, there is something rather otherworldly about his powers. He is also able to climb rough surfaces, run slightly faster than your average joe and possesses the agility of a panther in steroids.

Healing - Slade's exosuit allows him to easily shrug off superficial wounds such as cuts and injuries of the like. It can also heal a bullet wound, however the bullet must be removed first. It cannot deal with major wounds such as decapitation or arm severing, so there's that. Needless to say, he can only live for an estimated 30 minutes without his suit.

Weapon expertise - Slade is proficient in light and heavy firearms and can smoothly work with a blade. He carries two FN Five-Seven pistols, a folding staff and a katana sword with enhanced steel to adapt to the modern-day setting.

Wise tactician - While not supernatural in any way, Slade is a rather calm and collective chap, able to assess the situation and keep his cool while in the heat of a raging battle. He analyzes his opponents, their weaknesses and powers and may choose to use them against, should the opportunity present itself. Though rarely, he can switch into a period of manic spasms, but that only happens in very specific situations.

Here's my sheet, but with the guild falling down so frequently, I have doubts this RP will make it past the formalities.

Fingers crossed!

Having him know alien technology is not the same as knowing earthly tech, and as it's been stated he's no genius. Also I don't intend to make aliens appear, he is on earth to watch over it. I don't see why space themed heroes wouldn't fit, it doesn't mean we have introduce aliens it's just implied that they exist

I get it, but the mere thought that something like a Space Warden exists sort of gives a comic vibe, and from what I've gathered this RP is far from a comic book superhero tale. Read Worm, a web serial, to get a better understanding of the tone.
