Name: Rose Wilson- Worth
Codename: Ravager
Age: 17
Power: Precognitive ability to see into the future; possessing chemically augmented strength, speed, stamina, agility and intelligence. Excellent hand-to-hand combatant skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship
Bio: Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) meets Lillian Worth on a search-and-rescue mission a few years after his divorce from Adeline Kane. His mission is to make sure that she escapes war-torn Cambodia safely. After an intermittent love affair with Wilson, Worth gives birth to a daughter whom she names Rose. Believing it to be in the child's best interest, Worth keeps Rose a secret from Wilson. Worth eventually settles down at a brothel in New York City, and during a time when Deathstroke is injured and a fugitive from the law, Worth takes him in and nurses his wounds. Deathstroke's butler Wintergreen discovers 14-year-old Rose and suspects that she is Deathstroke's daughter.
Deathstroke's half-brother Wade DeFarge, using the name Ravager, later kills Deathstroke's friends and family. DeFarge discovers Rose, captures her, and tells her that Deathstroke is her father. Wintergreen and Worth launch a rescue attempt, but Worth is presumed dead after she drives a jeep off a cliff while trying to run over DeFarge. Wintergreen successfully rescues Rose and escapes.
Rose tries to reach out to her father, but he turns her away. He fears for her safety because he believes himself to be responsible for the deaths of two of his sons. Deathstroke leaves her in the care of the Titans superhero team. During a training exercise, Rose is injured and taken to the hospital, and her precognitive powers emerge for the first time when she has a lengthy vision of Deathstroke's future. She awakens before she can test her powers further. She leaves the Titans shortly after and does not see them again until the Technis Imperative conflict when she allies herself with the Titans to save fellow Titan Cyborg. During this incident she vocally challenges the New God Big Barda, as the Titans and the Justice League had come to blows. Barda seems more amused than concerned over Rose and their potential fight is neutralized by other forces.
The Madison family in Chicago adopt Rose, but DeFarge kills her new family. The Ravager claims to have been offered $100,000 for her death by an anonymous source, but neither of them know that Deathstroke hired DeFarge, in an attempt to bring Rose closer to him.
Deathstroke anonymously alerts the Titans that Rose's life is in danger, and they fight to defend her. All of the fighters are rendered unconscious by an explosion of halothane gas, and Rose awakens in Deathstroke's lair. He apologizes to Rose for abandoning her and says that she is the only family he has left. Deathstroke suggests that she become his apprentice, offering DeFarge as her first kill. Rose accepts and takes the name “Ravager” for herself. Deathstroke secretly injects Rose with the same serum that gave him his abilities, and it causes her to suffer from psychosis.
Deathstroke doubts Rose’s readiness to work with him and plans to disown her after she hesitates and is unable to kill Deathstroke’s son Jericho (when he possesses the body of Beast Boy). To prove her loyalty, she gouges out an eye to match his missing eye.
After Rose suffers a defeat at the hands of Batgirl, Deathstroke places her under the tutelage of Nightwing, who leads Slade to believe he has given up being a hero. Nightwing agrees to train Rose, while surreptitiously teaching her the values of heroism. Although Rose develops a crush on Nightwing as the training progresses, the attraction seemed entirely one-sided. In order to test Grayson's loyalty, Deathstroke replaces Rose's missing eye with one carved from Kryptonite and pits her and Nightwing against Superman. Rose attempts to kill Superman, but Nightwing uses Superman's concern for the safety of not only the civilian bystanders, but Rose herself as her final lesson on altruism. Nightwing agrees to stay away from Rose on the condition that Blüdhaven remained off-limits to the latest incarnation of The Society, of which Deathstroke is a charter member. Following the bombing of Blüdhaven on Deathstroke's orders in Infinite Crisis, Nightwing returns and informs Rose that the Kryptonite Deathstroke had implanted in her eye-socket is not just a danger to Kryptonians, but it is also carcinogenic and is indeed lethal to humans under extended periods of prolonged exposure. Enraged and heartbroken that her father would endanger her life so dismissively, and emboldened by Nightwing's tutelage, Rose breaks all ties with her father and runs away.

(Note, this is copied directly from another guild- Every other paragraph was written by Santiago Campos!)
Joseph Wilson sat on a rock playing his banjo. It was a soft, sweet tune, that reminded on of a small female child dancing around her backyard while trying to catch a butterfly. There was a small spread in front of him, where a warm lunch had been set. It seemed he was waiting on someone..
After a short while a young girl came up to him. She was pretty for her type, her long white hair tied in a bun. Though one could not help but notice the eyepatch. It was Rose Wilson, The boy's half-sister. He was not afraid, despite the girl being a mercenary. But instead he set down his banjo and rushed over to her, giving her a big hug. And she returned the favour. He took her by the hand, smiling all the way, and led her to the spread. Where the two enjoyed a quite lunch together. Rose prepared some tea, that she had brought in her bag. They ate as Squirrel, the chiuwuawua, played in the grass. She yiped as she chased a butterfly. No words were spoken- as none were needed. And yet, there were no secrets between the two..
"And here I am thinking you are nothing but a Killer, I guess I was wrong," said someone standing on a boulder. "Such a disappointment, I am sure Deathstroke wished he had better children," said the stranger. He was thirty feet away from them, but his voice was loud and clear.
Joeseph dropped his apple, no one was supposed to know about this mountain. Rose simply took another bite and lowered her eyebrow. "Yeah? You gotta problem with that?" She slowly reached for her shrurikens, in case she needed them...
"That? No. You? Absolutely. Don't be surprised, I am here to kill both of you," he said. He was aware of the shurikens, but he didn't seem to care. If someone doesn't seem intimidated it was a good sign they could probably fend off them.
Joeseph decided to start walking away, he wasn't much of a fighter.. Rose just kept her guard up. She didn't usually come here armed.. Suddenly she regretted that choice.. Yet she still appeared calm, without looking at him she took a sip of tea. "Whatever for? My daddy do something you didn't like? Well, don't blame us, he doesn't even care that we exist."
"Wrong, you say that like you even try," said the man. He pulled out a grenade and threw it up a few inches a couple times. A grenade, a damn grenade, he brought, a grenade.
Rose narrowed her .. eye at him. "Y'know, you're really starting to get on my nerves." She said calmly. "So who sent you anyway?"
"What, you think I am a Mercenary? Another one of those assassins for hire? Hell no," he said. Black Hood didn't throw the grenade so it seemed that he didn't want to throw it at her anyways. "Heh, it's funny because you can't tell when I am joking or not. Name's Black Hood, I just came to meet you," he said.
Rose raised her eyebrow, sceptically. "Seriously?" She said sarcastically. "Dressed like that?" She sneered at his outfit, and turned back to her tea. "You'd better not be toying with me- the last person that tried that ended up at the bottom of a lake with an anvil tied to his ankles." She still sounded so darn calm..
"I don't recommend you touch me," he said. Black Hood pulled the pin on the grenade. The fire blasted out, but only five inches, as if it was absorbed. Black Hood had the ability to absorb energy such as nuclear energy to heal, and of course use. He was a living weapon, a walking nuke. If he stood in front of a nuclear bomb and set it off, he would have all that energy stored inside for his own usage. Bullets, and any force that anyone could make, even hits, would be absorbed.
Rose was unimpressed. "I know a teenage girl who can do the same exact thing, but she's an idiot." She sipped her tea. "So what did you want to talk about? Oh, and Joeseph? You can come out now." As she said that, Joey carefully walked back to his seat, he still didn't trust this man- and refused to take his eyes off him.
"I came merely to tell you not to get yourself killed," he said. Black Hood never bothered to fully explain it. He turned around, and nuclear energy radiated from his hands, levitating him into the air where he was able to fly away.
Rose frowned and set down her tea angrely. "Why is everyone suddenly concerned about my well being? If my life were in danger- I'd know it!" She turned to her dear half-brother. "Or does no-one realize that I can see the future?" Joey shrugged, and offered her some watermelon. She smiled and accepted. "Oh, what does it matter anyway? As long as there's still you." Squirrel came back from chasing butterflies and lied down next to her master, then rolled over, panting happily. Rose laughed and scrathed her belly.
