Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by that of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion. Therefore it is unnecessary to have all the qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

==Basics==

Name: Cora Wilson
Nicknames: N/A
Aliases: Deathstroke
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Bisexual
Relationship Status: Single
Kinks: See Player O/O's
Age: 34

==Relationships==

Family:

  • Slade Wilson, Deathstroke - Father (Retired)
  • Elizabeth Ross-Wilson, Red She-Hulk - Mother (Retired)
  • Charles Wilson, Odysseus - Grandfather (Deceased)
  • Thaddeus Ross, Red Hulk - Grandfather (Unknown Status)
  • Grant Wilson, Ravager I - Half-Brother
  • Joseph Wilson, Jericho - Half-Brother
  • Rose Wilson, Ravager II - Half-Sister
  • "Gwen," Daydream - Half-Sister
Players:

  • Thomas Wayne / Arkham Knight - What her father was to the original Batman, Bruce Wayne,
    Cora is to Thomas. The two have crossed path and butted heads on multiple occasions. Thomas considers her his greatest challenger--and neither will ever admit if one of their fights ended in a tryst in the middle of a battlefield. Regardless, Thomas is the reason that Cora was eventually arrested, which led to her procurement by Amanda Waller and enlistment into the latest iteration of the Suicide Squad.
  • Asteria of Themyscira / Terra Troy - The two met, briefly, through their mothers. While the She-Hulk and Red She-Hulk argued, they made nice. And then "made nice." Neither mother approved.

==Description==

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Physical Description: Inheriting her mother's good looks and her father's genetics for improvement, Cora is a fit, imposing woman. With a figure an Amazon would approve of, from a lifetime of training and enhancements, she's proud to show it off when not in her armor. The main "feminine" touch she keeps for herself is her long, black hair--even if it is a tactical disadvantage should she ever lose her helmet, she likes it.

Typically she wears military outfits when not in her armor--fatigues, tank tops, and so on. Her armor is inherited directly from her father. With only slight modifications for the armor to fall away without being destroyed in the event she "Hulks out," she strikes the same figure as the original Deathstroke, to carry on the name and legacy of "the World's Deadliest Assassin."
Personality Description: Cold and professional, and a bit sadistic, Cora is by far her father's daughter. While she doesn't lack empathy, she rarely shows it--in her life empathy tends to be little more than a weakness or mistake. Ruthless and methodical in her actions, she operates like a the well-trained machine that she is. Like her father, she prefers to work alone, and as such is far from a fan of her latest predicament. There is a softer side to the woman, however, courtesy of her mother. It rarely shows itself, typically only to the rare few who grace her bed on special circumstances. But that hidden softness comes with a dark edge as well--it can easily turn into an obsession of the likes that would end with a restraining order for normal people.

These tendencies are exaggerated when she turned into the Red She-Hulk. More brutal and cunning, and far more sadistic, than Deathstroke ever would be. While careful planning may go out the window in favor of brutal, overwhelming force, she strives to ensure that her superiority and dominance is remembered. Cora doesn't particularly enjoy the things she does when she's transformed--but the side of her personality in charge when she's changed loves every bit of it. As such Cora takes great care to stay out of circumstances where she needs to change.

Background/History:

Cora Wilson was born of a very unlikely union--Slade Wilson and Elizabeth Ross. Deathstroke the Terminator and the Red She-Hulk had met as enemies at first. He'd been hired to assassinate her father, disgraced General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, the man who had been his first commander and the one that had gotten him into the super soldier program that'd made him who he was. Elizabeth had been on the run from SHIELD, having been transformed into a Hulk herself due to a failed experiment to find a cure for the condition, and wanted to find and stop her insane father and get him the help he needed. The two fought on their first meeting, in the mountains of Afghanistan, allowing the Red Hulk to escape. When SHIELD forces found them, they'd been forced to work together to escape, weakened as they both were from the fighting.

The the cold mountains of the Middle-East, a man and a woman bonded, counting on each other for survival. Both failed their missions--the Red Hulk would disappear, seemingly into nothingness. It would only be years later, when Mr. Sinister's plot was uncovered, that General Ross's fate would be revealed...

It was a volatile relationship at first. Elizabeth was jaded, hurt and stung over the loss and rejection of her first love, Bruce Banner. The Red She-Hulk persona only exacerbated that pain. Slade was hardly a stable individual himself, between everything he'd seen in his life. But from that cold night in the mountains the unexpected happened--Cora was conceived. Slade should have known better than to stick around. Elizabeth should have known better than to keep the child. Neither of them were parenting material, as Slade had proven three times before and her own fugitive status hardly helped. Nonetheless, they welcomed the girl into the world.

Slade saw Cora as a chance to fix his past mistakes--an his last chance for an heir. The girl was trained to be the next Deathstroke. Elizabeth became Deathstroke's handler in a manner similar to Wintergreen, before the man's death--although her Red She-Hulk persona steadily became more and more prominent, and started frequenting missions with her husband. When Cora's own Hulk state emerged she took over her daughter's training to instill discipline and control in her. At least, in moments where she wasn't enjoying wanting the girl throw a tantrum and smash Slade around whatever place they called home then.

Once he deemed Cora ready, Slade took her for her final test--they went to Gotham City, hunting a special prey.

Thus the antagonistic rivalry between the new Deathstroke and the Arkham Knight began, and the old Deathstroke retired. Slade Wilson and Elizabeth Ross disappeared from all public eye, leaving their daughter to her life. Taking control of her father's informational network and contacts, she assumed the Deathstroke mantle, and took to the field with a vengeance to reassert that the Terminator was the world's deadliest assassin. Time and again this would see her come to blows with the Arkham Knight, and an obsession with the bat-themed mercenary formed.  That obsession, however, would see her to her latest defeat, when she turned into the Red She-Hulk and forced the Knight to reveal his own secrets.

Beaten, and suffering from the weakness after her transformation, Cora was arrested. She avoided prison however as an old acquaintance of her father's had her transferred somewhere...special. Recruited into the new Suicide Squad, Deathstroke took the developments in stride. Her career, after all, was on the right path: her father would defy Waller, and so would she.

And then the Knight would be hers.

==The Special Stuff==

Roster Position: ??? - Suicide Squad
Powers:

  • Enhanced Physiology - Cora, to carry on her father's business, was given a similar super soldier serum as the one he'd had. It was weaker than his, to avoid her developing some of the mental issues he developed later in life

    • Enhanced Durability
    • Enhanced Stamina
    • Enhanced Senses
    • Enhanced Reflexes
    • Enhanced Speed and Agility
    • Enhanced Strength
  • Accelerated Healing - Cora possesses a minor healing factor. Gunshots and blade injuries can heal in a matter of minutes, while more serious injuries such as being impaled, broken bones, can take hours. She cannot regenerate lost limbs, and multiple and successive injuries will stress and overpace her healing factor--one gunshot wound might heal in minutes, but being riddled by a machine gun could leave her down for significantly longer. This healing factor has provided her a resistance to most toxins--crippling neurotoxins or paralytic agents, for example, just reduce her to merely being as capable as a normal human with his skill set, training, and experience.
  • Red She-Hulk - Cora, when in complete loss of control or serious injury, has the same issues her mother, grandfather, and other members of the "Hulk" family have--she smashes things. Growing in size and strength, she retains most of her mental faculties, though is more prone to direct and brutal action than careful tactical planning. Her healing factor and enhanced attributes are greatly increased when in this state.
Skills:

  • Acrobatics
  • Hand-to-Hand Combat (Master)
  • Weaponry: Through her martial arts training, she has become highly skilled with melee weapons. Cora has displayed exceptional sword fighting capability and proficiency with knives, sticks and various other weapons.
  • Stealth
  • Marksmanship
  • Combat/Evasive Driving
  • Escapology
  • Multilingual: Fluent in multiple languages, from postings around the world. Primarily Spanish, Arabic, various dialects of Chinese, Korean, Hebrew, Russian, French, and German.
  • Leadership and Military Protocol: Deathstroke has been shown to be a capable leader, as trained by her father. She has experience and training as a part of the military and with special forces, as well as private- and paramilitary groups. She's been trained, and hones herself, to constantly be aware of her surroundings and plan accordingly for sudden changes in operations, and can react quickly to surprises.

Weaknesses:

  • Transformation Fatigue - Should she ever change into her Red She-Hulk persona, the resulting change back into being human leaves her weakened. When she reverts to normal, she's all but helpless--left very weak, and very tired. And very hungry. She needs time to rest, or something to quickly restore energy, before she can continue on.
  • Split-Personality - While Slade gave her a modified and weakened version of the serum that made him a super-soldier to spare her mental issues, her mother's gamma-radiated genes changed that. The first time she turned into the Red She-Hulk a separate personality asserted itself--she hasn't named herself, but she's vain, egotistical, brash, and in love with proving her superiority over everyone around her.
Extras: N/A
Costume Description: When she inherited the title of Deathstroke, she inherited her father's armor and weapons from him as well. Carrying on as if she were the same infamous assassin, with very few knowing otherwise, the only changes she made were to protect the armor in the event of a transformation. As such, she shifted away from the sleek outfit Slade wore in the end of his career in favor of the more bulky, segmented armored armor. It also masks her feminine shape, leaving the fact that the new Deathstroke is a woman a surprise.

==Basics==

Name: Sophityra of Themyscira
Nicknames: Sophie, Tira, "Know-It-All"
Aliases: Sophie Helasdottir
Gender: Female
Sexual Preference: Homosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Kinks: See Player O/O's
Age: 26

==Relationships==

Family:

  • Jason of Themyscira, Chosen One - Father
  • Hela, Goddess of Death - Mother
  • Diana, Queen of Themyscira - Aunt
  • Donna Troy of Themyscira, Wonder Woman - Aunt
  • Olympian Pantheon - Various relations, befitting Zeus being her grandfather
  • Asgardian Royalty - Various relations, befitting Odin being her grandfather
Players:

  • Asteria of Themyscira / Terra Troy - Her cousin, and closest thing she would consider to a rival. Where Asteria followed the path of Area, Sophityra followed the path of Athena. The rivalry was inevitable.

==Description==

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Physical Description: As befitting a semi-divine bloodline, Sophityra is a very beautiful woman. Shunning some of her Amazonian heritage, she carries herself with a more feminine grace than those such as her cousin, Asteria. Tall and slender, her fit form is more that of an athletic scholar than a power warrior princess. Valuing the power of the mind more than the power of the body, she shaped herself to take more advantage of the benefits of classical beauty than classical might. As such she favors things that show off her beauty--dresses and gowns, jewelry, and limited make-up.
Personality Description: Wise, and somewhat vain, Sophityra lives up to her namesake. Almost eternally calm, it is very difficult to upset or annoy her. Striving to be kind and friendly, the woman is soft-spoken but refuses to let people speak over her. She's often a mediator between heated, arguing sides, playing the diplomat to keep everyone calm and working together. Easy to get along with, she tries not to rub anyone the wrong way.

That said, at times she can expression confusion and bewilderment at the actions of "mere mortals." Her mother's ego had to go somewhere, after all. Due to her heritage, Jean can at time come across as haughty and superior, acting as if she knows everything. With almost an addiction to learning, she certainly wouldn't complain about knowing everything, or at least people feeding that fantasy of hers. And with as much as she knows, the sheer foolishness that can be done by those around her simply and utterly baffles her.
Background/History:

Unknown to all but very select few, tragedy struck Olympus in recent times. Zeus, God of the Sky and King of Olympus, was slain. The divine war was hidden by the strongest of magics, and only those directly involved knew of the fact. But the God of Evil and Lord of Apokolips, Darkseid, sought to increase his own power by claiming that of other deities--demigods specifically. The first and last that he would attempt to kill were the children of Zeus--Diana, Queen of the Amazons, and her twin brother Jason. Zeus caught wind of the plot and intervened directly, keeping his children oblivious to what was about to happen.

Jason sensed the impending fight in a dream, and raced to his father's aid--they may have had tension in the past, but this transcended all such. In the end, Zeus's life would be lost defending his children, yet dealing Darkseid a grievous blow that would force him to abandon his plans, for the confrontation attracted the attention of the other divine Highfather's. Thus a new battle began...Who had the right to claim the soul of such a powerful god? Hades wished for the throne of Olympus for himself. Hela, the Asgardian Goddess of Death, wanted the power for her own purposes. More and more joined the fray, and Jason found himself in a bitter battle for his father's soul.

Hades and Hela were the final two remaining in the battle. Jason, weary and tired, nonetheless refused to yield. And there, Hela saw something...different. Every foe, every challenge, every obstacle she threw at him he overcame. Every time she beat him down, he stood back up. This mere demigod was intriguing. Ultimately, she would restore Zeus to life to prevent Hades from claiming his soul and power. Such was her official explanation.

Whispers passed through divine halls as to other reasons, however, when Jason of Themyscira became more frequently seen in her halls.

Those rumors were confirmed when, under the noses of their fathers, Jason and Hela welcomed a new demigoddess into the realms.

Sophityra was born a princess of two realms--and at once had no right to either. As a male, Jason had no claim to the throne of Themyscira, his position only acknowledged due to the fact he was Diana's twin brother--Zeus's son. Hela, for her past transgressions, had long fallen from Odin's favor. And with their union not formally recognized, she had no claim there. Such mattered little to the drifter prince and Goddess of Death. Their daughter still experienced both, and was granted every comfort that could be offered her. Royalty soon became the least of Sophityra's worries, as she grew older, and became fascinated with learning and magic.

Born at the same with as her cousin, Asteria, the two were immediate rivals--and clear opposite. The "runt" of Amazons, a true princess and in line for the throne, Asteria was often shunned and ostracized for her birth. The girl followed in the path of Ares, learning from the God of War to be a master of such herself, one day. Sophityra was tall and graceful, looking every bit the princess that Asteria refused to be, even as she lacked any true and proper claim to such title. She was well-liked by those on the island, for at least her birth was proper and of a worthy being, and she followed in the steps of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom.

Her quest for knowledge became nearly unending. Eventually her parents decided there was nothing more she could truly learn, simply moving back and forth from Themyscira to Asgard to Olympus and so on. With their blessing, she traveled into the World of Man, casting out with her cousin when Asteria went to live with Jennifer Walters..

Under the name of Sophie Helasdottir, she sought of places of learning. College was a quick bore for her, and while her competitive nature enjoyed trumping Asteria at every turn...she still grew bored. So she began traveling the globe, largely unconcerned with the events of Man going on around her. Disappearing heroes and villains meant little to her, for none that vanished were of her kin. Her life nearly perfect. She went to places of knowledge, talked with and consorted with the brightest minds she could find. She became a patron of the arts and sciences, enjoyed fancy galas and balls, met beautiful women that helped banish the homesickness for the golden sands of Themyscira, or the endless falls of Asgard.

Much like her father, however, she had a dream in which Athena came to her. Warned of dark times to come, and the part she had to play, she began to look for those like her. Those who knew of magic, and worlds beyond the mere mortal plane.

Naturally, she would end up hearing the name of John Constantine...And from there, her path was set. Because since when do good things happen to people who look for the owner of that name?

==The Special Stuff==

Roster Position: ??? - Circle of Mystiks
Powers:
  • Divine Empowerment - With the blood and two pantheons in her veins, just as her mother and father have, Sophityrahas proven to have abilities and traits greater than mere mortals:
    • Superhuman Strength
    • Superhuman Durability/Stamina: Heightened resistant to physical and magical harm; combined with her high tolerance from pain, she can take substantial beatings and stay on her feet. While not immune to human weaponry, mundane edges weapons and bullets can cause minor to moderate harm, but never threaten her life. This has also helped her in other, less serious matters...such as late nights with beautiful women.
    • Superhuman Speed/Reflexes: With reflexes higher than even the finest human athlete, she's shown able to dodge bullets, and even deflect them with the proper equipment.
    • Enhanced Healing Factor: In the instances she does take serious injury, she can bounce back from them at a quick rate. The majority of injuries will heal in a matter of seconds to minutes, to just a few hours for more serious ones. Those that would have killed a mortal may instead leave her incapacitated and confined to recovery for a span of days. She's also resistant, if not immune, to most known pathogens and poisons.
    • Ageless: Like the rest of her kind, does not age beyond her prime, allowing her to retain her physical prowess, health, vitality and youthful appearance indefinitely. This ultimately makes her immune to natural death.
    [li]Magic Manipulation - She is able to harness the magical energies of both Asgard and Olympus for a number of feats--from astral projection, elemental magic, and even necromancy.

    • Life and Death - Hela is grooming Sophityra to, one day, be the bridge between Olympus and Asgard--to unite the dimensional realms of Hel, Niflheim, Valhalla, and the Underworld of Hades.
      As such she's been granted powers similar to her mother's, over both life and death. She's skilled in conversing and dealing with spirits, and the dark magic of necromancy. Life magic, such as healing and restoring, is also well within her skillset.
  • Premonitions - Typically in dreams, Sophityra can gain insight to possible events yet to come,
    or clues to the matter she is investigating. But as the future is ever changing, she never learns anything for certain--and the knowledge of what could come is often more dangerous than going on without that knowledge.
Skills:

  • Hand-to-Hand Combat - Like a proper Amazon she's been trained in the art of war, and is hardly defenseless in a fight.
  • Weapons Training - Similar to the above, she is very proficient in the use of a blade.
  • Alltongue - She can understand and speak all languages and dialects of the Nine Realms and several prominent alien languages, as well as a few demonic tongues.
  • Deception - In a combination of using her magic, and training from her father, she's quite skilled at lying. Primarily to blend in to the World of Man as she pursues her own travels and interests, away from the duties of being a princess.
  • Know It All - She knows a lot of stuff about a lot of things.
Weaknesses:

  • Pride - Sophie can be very proud and vain at times, especially when questioned by someone she considers her lesser.
  • Bookworm - While she's had training on combat, it is far from her forte. A highly trained mortal would be able to defeat her if caught unaware, or should she be unable to rely on her divine physiology or magic.
Extras: N/A
Costume Description: Forgoing any traditional kind of heroic costume, when she's being "official" she wears robes that were gifted to her by her mother. A deep purple, made from advanced Asgardian material, they're protective--for what bit of skin they cover. As she uses her magic runic lines of power glow on her skin, as do her eyes. She also wears an ornate crown in a blend of Olympian and Asgardian style.
