Wade stared at fading bruises in the mirror. At twelve, he had realized that his father was no war hero. At thirteen, he had called Derrick on it. And at thirteen, he had learned that his father believed his own fantasies so much that he would hurt his own son to protect those lies. His world was that fragile. The truth would break him.

He resolved something right then. The boy would not become the father. He would never lose himself in his own fantasies. No matter how bad it got.

It was not a promise that he would keep.

For all his faults, Derrick was not a physically abusive man. Verbally, yes. But not physically. It wasn’t because he was a good person; it was because he was too weak of a person. Too afraid. But he did hit Wade once, the very first, and only, time Wade every suggested his war stories were lies. Wade crumpled to the ground. But he got back up. He hit back. And his dad beat the shit out of him, but it wasn’t a clean fight. Both walked away with many, many bruises. Wade’s bruises would heal. His father’s most likely wouldn’t.

Derrick Wilson was not a Canadian. His son was, because he had been born there, but he was not. He was an American that had fled the Vietnam draft many years ago. He had been an expatriate then, and his son, following in his footsteps, was now at the ripe old age of thirteen. Deeply conservative and unable to reconcile that with his lack of patriotism, he had a dozen stories of his time as a war hero in ‘Nam. Not even his son believed them any more, and he was the only one who ever had. But Derrick believed.

Family was a man that told you stories of a war he never fought in and medals he never got. Family was a man that, in his (many) darker moments, felt the need to always remind you that the reason you didn’t have a mom was because you killed her on the way out – whether you asked the question or not. Wade had only asked once, and had been answered a thousand times for it. Was it another lie? Did it matter? Family was a pet you wanted and never got because “You’ll kill that too.” Family was a lie.

OOC: Three months late to the party, but here is the Musewrite Table. I've been thinking about it, and I think I'm going to try a project where at least part (if not all) of these will actually be set way in the past, when Deadpool was still on the horizon and he was only Wade Wilson. I want to try for creative backstory.

The Wade Wilson ones will be more serious, because he was not always insane. Becoming Deadpool was what broke him. But what were the cracks that eventually lead to the break that A) Allowed him to access the fourth wall, B) Turned him into a full on sociopath because, most importantly, C) caused him to completely give into a general apathetic "I don't give a fuck, Imma do what I want and just have fun because nothing else matters!". I feel that is a defense mechanism that has allowed him to completely break with a past that is, in some cases, too painful for him to want to dwell on or remember correctly. So yes, some of this will be emo. I'm sorry in advance!

Canonically, Wade Wilson's history is vague, unremembered, and constantly shifting due to retcons and different writers. This is one possible history by one random writer (me) that, due to being fanfiction, is already retconned! Ha! Enjoy!

P.S. I will try to be good about tagging things, but if I suck, just look at the icon for who he is in the drabble. Wade icons will be Wade; Deadpool icons will be Deadpool.

P.P.S. Credit where credit is due...I am taking my cue for how to enact this genre from the awesome and talented

hostile_experience. I really like her way of writing these in series.

Deadpool checked his entire loadout on his body a third time, taking inventory. He was armed to the teeth. Literally. He'd put in his most blinged out razor grill so that he could chomp some bastards if necessary. The top teeth said "DEAD" and the bottom ones said "YEEEAAAAAH". Don't judge. He got a deal on it because L'il Jon was upgrading his, and that was during a bad month of merc work. It was either have it that way instead of "POOL" or no way at all. He kept meaning to get the "POOL" half, but kept putting it off for this or that reason. This month it had been about the extra ammunition for this job. ( After all, it wasn't every day that you went to rob your girlfriend. )

Everyone thinks they're such sweet little things

Soft downy feathers and nice little wings

Deadpool's Mad Libs Book, August 15, 2012:

Today I shot a Teddy Bear.

But on the upside, I made an intergalactic race of nerds cry. Sweet.

( The Rest of the Story )

→ Character Name: Wade Wilson AKA Deadpool
→ Canon: Marvel Comics
→ Canon Point: Always Current (He knows what's going on in his own comics)

→ Personality: Insane. Absolutely bugnuts insane.

...Oh wait, there is a 250 word minimum here. It's Srs bsns with no vowels! Okay okay. Deadpool is certifiably insane. At one point in time, this was believed to be because of his mutant power constantly rewriting his brain, but that was disproved by Cable, his BFF. He hears voices in his head, which he often talks to because he knows they are real. In the comics, this manifests as him talking to his two sets of boxes - yellow and white (two different voices). In RP, it manifests as him talking to his parenthesis, which he will refer to as his parenthesis. In the "log" game, he will also talk to his narration. Other people/characters will only be able to "hear" his spoken, quoted words.

Beyond being insane, Deadpool is a sociopath with no regard for anyone but himself. He kills indiscriminately, and is a merc for hire. In fact, he's amazingly good at killing and seems take great pride in doing so either randomly or with a great deal of convoluted, unnecessary planning.

He often runs his mouth constantly, chatting with his voices or whoever will listen. This is because, at heart, Deadpool is also an attention whore. Some would even say that he isn't truly insane, that it is just another ploy for attention and to distract others while he carries out whatever bizarre plan he has cooked up. Those people are wrong - he really does have voices in his head, and they really do aid him in most situations. In fact, they tend to (and will in this game) break the fourth wall more often than he does.

Underneath his cheery, insane mask lies a kind of sad individual, however. Deadpool isn't exactly emo, but he does really want to die. His regenerative factor will not let him die, which is probably why he wants it. He's like a child that is told he can't have something. Also, he really wants to bang Death, who is a female incarnation whenever he "dies" enough to see her. So you see, it's not emo at all. It's perverted.

→ History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadpool_%28comics%29

→ Abilities:

*Deadpool is the subject of a Weapon X experiment to replicate Wolverine's healing factor. As such, he has an advanced healing factor. There is a catch, though; Wade Wilson had cancer, and the healing factor didn't get rid of the cancer. It sent it into overdrive. His entire body is an ugly, tumorous swath of ick.

*Deadpool is an expert mercenary assassin. He knows how to use any given weapon extremely well and he is a VERY skilled martial artist.

→ Strengths:

*Deadpool is a master tactician. People often don't see it in him, but he isn't crazy like a crazy person -- he's crazy like a fox.

*Deadpool is often far more loyal to his buds than even his buds give him credit for. It's not always in ways they like...but it's there.

→ Weaknesses:

*Deadpool is OCD on crack. He is very, very, very easily distracted.

*He is an unrepentant womanizer in that he will openly appreciate any hotness he runs into.

*He is absolutely irreverent of EVERYTHING, and may thus come across as an asshole because of it. Rest assured, he is, in fact, actually an asshole. (But his writer is not! His writer loves you! :D)

1) Well, obviously, there's ME. Deadpool. Merc with a Mouth. Regeneratin' Degenerate. Soon to have LIVE ACTION ICONS OMG. Well, when I can con some sap into making them for me, or steal them from the internets. You want writings samples? I got plenty! You want a bio? I got a bio! Although it just tells you to read my wikipedia, because I am both lazy and not an OC. Well, I guess I'm technically an OC to somebody, but not the loser that's writing me here.

And now we head on down the rabbit hole. Because there's also...

2) The Punisher. Yeah, that guy's a voice up in this head too. Much dark. So amaze. Actually, he's a lot less fun, but for those of you who can't get enough grimdark, this is your guy. If you want a writing sample, here you go. Careful, it gets smutty towards the end. I know, right? The Punisher having sex. Who'da thought? More importantly, who wants to picture that? (says the fugly dude who's gotten his own rocks off) Shutup, parenthesis. Anyways, uh, you want a profile? Sure thing.

3) John Constantine This guy's also kinda grimdark, but he loves himself some magic if you're into that. Here's your writing sample. And here's a profile! If he gets a second season, he'll probably be a louder voice. For now, he's just chillin'.

4) Eleanor Camacho Did you know I had a daughter? No seriously, she's actually canon. It's this whole tragic thing. But in the comics, she's wee. Here, she's all grown up. And I don't know her, and she doesn't know me, and neither of us know we're related to each other. So SHHHH. No spoilers!! But I will kill you if you hurt her. I won't know why I'm killing you, but that won't stop me. It hasn't stopped me before. Anyways, you want a writing sample and a bio all rolled into one? I think this'll do you. She once applied to a different community, and those things come in handy. Sometimes. No need to reinvent the wheel, right?

5) COMING SOON!!!

Yeah, you're all just voices in my head. Get over it.
