Disposition:

Humor - Wade has a saying, "When you're confronted with a horrible situation, there are only two reactions that make sense: laughter or tears. And laughter, after all, is nature's anesthesia. Tears hurt too much." It's an adage he's lived by even before his cancer diagnosis and subsequent immortality, and one could easily argue that it's pretty much the only thing keeping him relatively sane as life (aka his writers) continues to put him in harrowing situations over and over and over again. He's looked down upon among his peers for never taking anything seriously, but it's when Wade stops joking around and becomes completely serious that you need to beware.

Recklessness- The inevitable drawback of having a powerful healing factor is that you tend to take things for granted-- specifically, your health. Nowadays, Wade would barely bat an eye over cutting his hand off to escape handcuffs, or plunging from a tall skyscraper to the streets below, or acting as a metaphorical “canary in the coalmine” with deadly poisons. The knowledge that virtually nothing can kill him has emboldened him to take risks that even the strongest human would blanch at, but the truth is far more dire than that. Wade is actually borderline suicidal, and the numerous scrapes he gets into are secretly a challenge to see if anything can kill him for good. So far, nothing has stepped up to the plate, and as he grows older and his body remains in the shape it was when he got his healing factor, immortality's looking like a very real thing, and Wade is not happy about it in the least.

This unfortunately also extends to his external actions as well, as he's much more likely to go rushing in to blow something up than he is to sit and listen to even the simplest of plans. A lot of this is caused by his desperate need for approval; to be looked upon as a hero, and unfortunately, Wade hasn't exactly learned that being a hero doesn't mean you actively go looking for trouble. This has inevitably caused problems for a great many people as well as himself, and most of his heroic acts in canon are really cleaning up a mess he himself has made, which obviously means he gets no recognition for it.

Empathy-- Many people take Wade at face value, believing that he’s merely a money-grubbing mercenary with no heart, who can never take anything seriously and has absolutely no feeling of kindness and warmth towards others. And they’re not entirely wrong to feel that way, as that’s how he comes across to those who don’t really know him. But Wade’s irreverent humor and penchant for inappropriate jokes hides a heart that is just as soft and fragile as anyone else’s. On the rare occasion when someone comes to him for comfort, he’s seen to be quite a caring and sensitive listener, and even if he doesn’t always have the right words, he will attempt to use his wacky personality to cheer the person up or at least distract them from their problems for the time being. He’s also seen to have a deep compassion for children and is extremely intolerant of anyone who would prey on them-- from an assassin’s standpoint, they’re totally off-limits, to the point where he has walked off a mission several times without getting paid as a result of a child getting caught in the crossfire.

Low self-esteem- To say that Wade has a low opinion of himself would be like saying that the ocean is a little heavy on the salt. No matter what disparaging words anyone says to him, whatever cutting remark they have at his expense, no one is as hard on Wade as Wade is on himself. His self-loathing is so potent that a part of him actually accepts his hideous new appearance, and although he may joke that nowadays his outside matches his inside, there's a dark part of him that actually believes it. It's for this reason that he's so easily manipulated by people promising him love and affection, as he's so starved for simple human kindness that he'll greedily lap up any attention that is given to him. It's also the reason why he doesn't take criticism well, and is most assuredly the reason why he grows considerably insecure-- and in worst case scenarios, absolutely enraged-- when people see him without his mask. It's almost like a validation of everything he believes is rotten and evil in himself, and it reinforces the belief that he is unworthy of love of any kind.

Suitability: As far as his physical suitability, Wade is notoriously difficult to kill. His military training ensures that he’s a pretty hardy and resilient fighter, and even if he finds himself punching above his weight, his healing factor will at least ensure that it’ll take a lot to bring him down.

Condition upon arrival: As his healing factor has been nerfed due to its sudden need to sustain itself on Manna, Wade will no longer be disfigured by his cancer.

Emotionally, Wade’s in kind of a strange place right now. Being in a completely new universe basically means he’ll be starting over with a clean slate as a potential unknown, which affords him the opportunity to start over without his prior reputation hanging over his head, and in turn might allow him some interesting character development, provided he doesn’t backslide completely into old habits.

Abilities:

(please note that any/all abilities related to his healing factor can be nerfed at the mods’ discretion)

Regeneration - Deadpool is in possession of an enhanced healing factor, implanted into him genetically as a result of experiments done on him by the Weapon X program. As a result he can withstand any sort of wound or trauma without dying. Amputated limbs can be grown back, but it takes some time and is rather painful, so he usually opts to reattach the limb that was cut off if it's still intact. Brain damage also takes time to heal based on the severity, and generally tends to leave him unconscious for half an hour or more. The only thing that can completely stop him is decapitation, but it still won't kill him-- it'll merely put his body into a vegetative state until his head is found and reattached.

Immortality (?) - His accelerated healing factor has increased his lifespan beyond that of a normal human, but to what extent is as yet unknown to him. As of right now, he's about fifty, and yet still has the appearance and biological structure of a man in his early-to-mid thirties-- due to the cancer causing the cells within his body to keep dividing, it's essentially stopped him from aging as well.

Polyglot - Fluent in at least five languages (he's been seen to speak Russian, German, Spanish, Japanese and ASL in canon, although he appears to be able to speak more and more languages as the plot demands).

Weapon and fighting skills - Wade is a master of many martial arts as well as being an accomplished marksman and swordsman. Because of his brain cells being constantly in flux (and thus rendering him able to learn and retain information as quickly as a child would), Wade knows practically everything there is to know about fighting with conventional weapons and fighting styles... and is knowledgeable (and crazy) enough to improvise in unconventional ways as well. He's also skilled in the art of parkour.


Inventory:

Adamantium-bladed katanas - Exactly what it says on the tin.

Guns - Two automatic pistols, one that he's customized himself and taken care of over the years. He calls her Carlotta.

Ammunition - Just your standard handgun bullets.

Spandex outfit - The standard red and black spandex suit that has become Wade's trademark.

Gembond: Ruby
Gem Location: On his back, just below his neck.

Notes: Wade's canonically a fourth wall breaker, so I've put up this handy Permissions post for people who want to opt out.
