All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…


What’s your name?
My name is Marcus Trent Tanner.
Friends and enemies call me Wolf Spider.

How old are you?
I'm 20 years old.

What do you look like?
Umm... you're right here, aren't you? Look at me:



Wait, did you mean my costume? It's... kinda like this:



...but with a lot more black instead of red, since... well, I'll get to that in a minute.

What did you do before the Recluse incident?
My dad's been the one who raised me my whole life. Dunno where my mom went, and Dad doesn't like to talk about it. His business, I guess. He's not the worst parent, sure, but he's... strict. He's a cop, so that's a given. I admit, I've probably acted out a little more than I should have in response. Tried smoking, bought a motorcycle, got involved with some questionable types. Mostly I've gotten busted for being where I shouldn't be, construction sites, private property, that kind of thing. The usual. Ended up in my dad's lockup more than once. Ended up in the ER with a broken bone or two other times. Pretty sure I broke my old man's heart more than once, too. Not gonna lie, I've been reckless. But hey, maybe I'm finally turning it all around.

See, I've always been athletic. I suppose that's why I'm here, instead of doing a 10-20. See, I was good at track and field in high school, and I do the whole "urban exploration" thing in my free time, but I really got an interest in what the trainers were doing about junior or senior year. I'm no doctor, but I like learning about how the body works. How to take someone hurt, and make 'em better. So I'm taking classes at ESU; physical therapy, sports medicine, that sort of thing. I'm not 100% "upstanding," even now, but I'm toning it down for the sake of my old man and my grades. Gotta have a future sometime, right?

One thing I'm a little worried about where Dad's concerned is some... new developments. See, for the last two years, I've been seeing this guy. Yeah, guy. And I've been worried about how my Dad'll take it. I don't think he'll disown me or anything, but... you never know.

Of course, I've got worse things to worry about than coming out, after that attack...

What happened after the incident?
Well, obviously there's the "sticking to walls" bit. I'm stronger, and a lot fucking faster. But the really weird part is, I've got something else, too. See, I can make this dark matter... energy... stuff. Like, kinda looks like solid black hole stuff, yeah? Like solid shadows. I can make a lot with it- limbs, claws, my "webs", even parts of my costume. I basically just raided my riding gear, covered it in shadows, and made a mask out of darkness. It's awesome, right? Instant superhero.

Super Strength- 5
Speed and Agility- 30
Spider Sense- 20
Regeneration- 5
Mutation (Umbrakinesis)- 40

Do you believe in aliens?
Uh, duh? Big universe. Logically, we can't be the only ones here.

What are your goals for the future?
Well, aside from all of the new... Spider-bullshit, I'm still not giving up on my degree, whenever they open ESU back up. But I've got a lot more to worry about with the Spider-stuff. Don't get me wrong, these powers are awesome. But they're kinda freaky, too. It's harder to ignore things going on, too, when you have a way to stop it. But what's really grinding my gears is that... well, they found that thing, right? The bomb, or device, or whatever. That means someone planned this. They did this on purpose.

And I don't think I can rest easy until I find out who.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
Fuckin' love New York. It's got its ups and downs, but there's nowhere quite like this place anywhere in the world.

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
I use my phone, play some video games, ride my bike around, whatever. I'm 20, what did you expect?

What do you like?
-Motorcycles
-My boyfriend
-A good run
-Parkour
-Coffee

What do you dislike?
-Tight spaces
-Hospitals
-Too many rules
-Broken bones
-My dad (?)

Do you think true evil exists?
Not really. People do good things for bad reasons, or bad things for good reasons.

What’s your favorite color?
I like red a lot. Especially crimson.

Favorite song?


Anything else to add?
Not really. Uh, what was this for again?

What are your thoughts on these people?
Scott Yi/Best Buds
I've known Scott my whole life. Or near enough that it doesn't matter. We've always been friends, and hopefully always will be. At my craziest, he's the guy I can trust with anything.

Officer Michael Tanner/Complicated
My old man. Tough but... well, he's tough. Being a cop in New York will do that to you. He's not a bad person, he's never laid a hand on me, but... there's always been this gap in between me and him. And I dunno how to bridge it.

Hector Reyes/It's Serious
My boyfriend. Met him through the local urban exploration scene in my senior year. He's a journalism major. We haven't had a lot of time for each other since Recluse, given the circumstances. I hope he's doing okay...

Raymond Davis/Rivals?
I don’t know X-Ray too well. I tried running with the Skywalkers for a bit, but once they found out my dad was a cop, I was out on my ass. Ray was the only one who didn’t flat out hate me for what my dad did, but we were still pretty competitive with each other. Wonder what he’s doing now...

Strand/More than Myth
Strand's a vigilante you hear about sometimes. Most people don't think he's real, but I'm pretty sure he is. I mean, get this, the guy can supposedly run up walls. Remind you of anyone? I think he's connected to this Recluse thing. Not the perpetrator, but maybe they did to him what happened to all of us first. And if he knows more than I do, it'll pay to compare notes. I've gotta find him.

What did you do before the Recluse incident?

Life was much simpler when I was younger. It wasn’t a fairytale, just average at best but that had been enough for me. It was when my mother got sick that everything started to change for the worse. Hospital visit after hospital visit. My mom not able to work anymore and my father barely making it by. He started disappearing more, coming home either drunk as hell or in a fowl mood late into the evening but pretending everything was fine while in my mother’s presence. It was like I was forgotten, all on my own and trying to navigate the world. I found more often than not that I was locked out of my own home so I found myself wandering a park or going to the nearby ice skating rink to watch, trying to find something to keep me busy till I could go home. This went on for years until suddenly, everything changed....my father seemed happier, things started to seem normal again, I wasn’t alone anymore and I hoped that meant that mom was getting better. I was able to do more after school activities, not understanding at the time we shouldn’t be able to afford to do them. My mom’s hospital bills were being paid on time and while my father still stayed out a bit late, he seemed to be doing better. Everything would be as it was and the nightmare from before would be over. It didn’t end up being that way though.

One night, I found myself dragged from bed in the middle of the night by a stranger. I tried to fight, squirm to get away, cry out, call for help but it was all for nothing. Instead, I was slapped harshly with my attacker telling me to shut up as I was continuously pulled like a rag doll to the living room. The first view being my father strapped to a chair, blood everywhere, beaten and scared when his eyes met mine. I found no words now, fear and panic twisting in my gut as I was threatened with a cold knife pressed to my throat. I could barely hear, the blood rushing to fast in my ear as the attackers spoke to my father. He was to start paying  back the money he had borrowed, no more delays or trying to sneak on by. They left, leaving me to deal with the mess my father was. He forced me not to call the cops, saying all of our lives depended on keeping this all a secret. I found myself roped into and forced to steal, my father saying it was our only way. He explained they would be like Robin Hood, stealing for a good reason. It never felt right. I felt horrible. If I tried to stop though, I was met with violence and that wasn’t any better. It wasn’t even a month later that my mom passed away after her long struggle and I felt it was a punishment for what we were doing. It didn’t matter though, we weren’t allowed to stop. 

It wasn’t until my high school years that we finally had enough stolen items sold off to finish the debt. I hoped we could wash our hands of it and move forward. My father didn’t seem to think so. He fell back into old ways, drinking and stealing. He was sloppy and started to draw attention. The second he tried to rope me into that lifestyle again, I suddenly found myself couch hopping. I would stay with friends or crash with band mates so that I didn’t have to see him. Didn’t have to be a part of his screw ups while I tried to make a life for myself. I needed to get a scholarship if I wanted to do anything college wise and even if I didn’t make it then a criminal record would not be a good start. They had been really lucky so far. I was skilled at thievery and planning but it wasn’t the life I wanted for myself. It was no surprise to me when I found out my father had been arrested. Cops bothering me to see if I had any information and to see if I had been a part of it in any way. I was able to weasel out of it but it had been an annoying process. They kept a close eye on me after that.

After high school, I pretty much signed up for anything and everything job wise. I needed a place of my own or at least enough to help a room mate since couches would not be an option any longer. I would have started on a job sooner but with my...other activities, it had been impossible. I turned out getting work as an office assistant which isn’t really my style and I hate it but it pays very well. Honestly, if I could be a hero all the time then I would. I feel like I have no freedom and there is something freeing about watching over others and making sure they are safe.

What happened after the incident?

Super Strength: 10
Agility: 20
Durability: 10
Regeneration: 20
Spider-Sense: 10
Mutation(s): 30

Webs - She can produce organic webs from her wrists

Hallucinogenic Poison Secretion - She produces a poison that causes hallucinations. This comes in a form of a powder like substance that can be gathered or transferred onto another person. It can also be added to her own breath and spit, breath being the most effective for spreading. 

Paralyzing Bite - She has fangs that produce a paralyzing agent that takes effect when introduced or injected into the blood stream. 

Healing - She can heal very minor cuts, scraps, and also the bite marks she creates. You get stabbed, shot, or are heavily bleeding....don’t expect her to be able to do anything about it with this power. 

Do you believe in aliens?

The world is full of mystery and infinite possibilities so I believe there is a chance that aliens exists. I am not holding my breath on ever meeting one but I do believe it is possible so I won’t dismiss it.

What are your goals for the future?

I don’t know if I have any real goals. I mean, I eventually want to go to college so I can get somewhere but at the same time...I don’t really want to get rid of my unrealistic dreams. Sure, it is silly but I would love for my band to make it to the big times or to be an Olympic ice skater since I have the talent but those seem too far from my reach. It would be best to go to college and work somewhere mundane.  I mean, you can only be a hero now and then. Real life doesn’t stop so I’m not gonna put all my hopes into that but it is nice to help people. 

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?

It’s never boring, that is for sure. It is a little crowded and wild but I think that is a part of its charm. It gives you unexpected gifts and also complete frustration. You can find everything you need here. 

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?

Oh boy....do I have to answer this? I feel embarrassed to say I am glued to my phone a lot. I am forever texting or looking up some sort of information. I love music and it is often that my headphones are in to enjoy. I do videos, writing and more in my free time which require technology. I mean, I am not sure I could live without movies or video games either. I also have to use it for work so that kind of makes it impossible to cut down the amount of use. 

What do you like?

- Ice Skating
- Basketball
- Spicy Foods
- Video Games
- Reading
- Mysteries
- Writing
- Art
- Rain
- Music
- Cooking

What do you dislike?

- Ironically, spiders.
- Lairs
- Bullies
- Hospitals
- Cops
- Drunks
- Small spaces
- Tomatoes
- Bad Flirting
- Perfection
- Milk

Do you think true evil exists?

Yes, some people do bad things for what they believe is a good reason but some people, the truly evil people of the world...just want to watch the world burn.

What’s your favorite color?

Red

Favorite song?



Anything else to add?

- Plays guitar and sings
- Visits her mother’s grave every year on the anniversary of her death
- Has a small black cat
- Can easily pick locks, pickpocket, etc. 
- Knows how to draw but is not confident in her skills

What are your thoughts on these people?

Jiji - cat/furbaby
Jiji has saved my life from utter loneliness since the day we met. I had been out on the small apartment balcony reading when I fell asleep, only to awaken with a tiny ball of fur curled up on my lap. He looked more than a little worse for the wear with his eyes gunked up, flea infested, and each rib clearly visible. He was so tiny that I thought he would break if I touched him. I couldn’t bare myself to move so instead I looked up what it would take to look after the little guy or what I could do to help. I had planned to get him into shape and find him a good home but the moment he opened his eyes, looking at me with that soft mew and purring happily just to be near me....that is when I knew he had my heart. He has been my baby boy since then and I would do anything to make his life happy and easy. He is always there when I need him and I will never abandon him in his time of need.

 Adalbert Von Hardt - Tea Time Guest
He is still a tall ass blonde that doesn’t know what the term ‘stand in one place’ means but I must admit, he did brighten my day. Honestly, I have no idea why he rushed out like he did and left everything behind but at least I have it safe till it can be returned. I wish we could have talked more so maybe this is a chance? I do kind of believe that things happen for a reason, good or bad. 

Xander - Delivery Boy 
 I guess his grandparents own the Lucky Star? That is pretty cool. They have the best Chinese around or at least they do in my opinion. He seems nice enough though it was a bit awkward if you add the extra order and a cat as a hat.

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…


What’s your name?
Alexander 'Xander' Lee
{Red-Knee}
How old are you?
19

What do you look like?


6'2", lean athletic build, medium length black hair, with scars covering most of his upper body along with a tattoo of a tiger covering almost all of his back.



What did you do before the Recluse incident?
Alexander was born of a one-night stand when his mother was a teenager and she died giving birth to him. Because of this he never found out who his father was and was raised by his grandparents. His uncle Frank ran a Muay Thai dojo since a couple of years before he was born and starting training their under him when he was only five. Unfortunately what he did not know was that Frank had a gambling addiction and ended up owing money to the local mob. So his life was relatively peaceful until Uncle Frank was no longer able to pay his debts. One night during the summer before Xander's senior year he was training late at his uncle's dojo some thugs in suits broke into Frank's office, but he was too focused on his training to notice until it was too late and he heard a gunshot. That night his uncle and sensei died in his arms. 

What happened after the incident?
Once Alexander knew what he could do he began to obsessively search for the people who were responsible for the death of his uncle. Because the cops let the case go cold Xander ended up completely ignoring the law when dealing with this.

Super Strength: 20

Agility: 10

Durability: 20

Regeneration: 20

Spider-Sense: 10

Fire-Bending: 20

Do you believe in aliens?
Yes

What are your goals for the future?
To discover who is truly responsible for his Uncle Frank's murder and bring them to justice as well try to finish his Archaeology Degree.
You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
I have lived in Chinatown my entire life and I generally like most parts of the city, but some areas he tries to avoid.

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
Beyond his phone, laptop, and the gear in his family's Chinese Restaurant he tends to prefer to do things manually.

What do you like?
Muay Thai, his family, honorable combat, his friends, and his cat

What do you dislike?
Mafias, Guns, Drugs, and Politics

Do you think true evil exists?
I'm honestly not entirely sure yet...

What’s your favorite color?
Purple

Favorite song?
The Warrior by Disturbed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1AbgmnBVOw

Anything else to add?
I was a big fan of various mythologies as a kid, mostly Norse, Greek, Celtic, Egyptian, and Japanese. The necklace I wear used to belong to my uncle Frank until the night he died also he uses the same uncle's old lighter as a channeling object for his flames.

What are your thoughts on these people?

Patricia and Jason Lee are my grandparents, they run a Chinese restaurant also they literally raised me, though my Uncle Frank also had a big hand in that...

Scott Yi is a casual classmate of mine that I don't really know much about other than the fact that both of us on here on a scholarship, him for science and me for martial arts

I saw X-Ray around a bit in high school, but did not really notice him, until he started to go to Lucky Star

Lindy and her dad are regulars at his family's restaurant so he knew her in passing, but never really met her until a couple of months ago at his first ever Cross-Martial Art Tournament and where he just barely won against Matty

Kim Agbayani is somebody I have honestly only met once when she and her mom ate at my family's restaurant, so while I was their waiter I don't really know her to be honest...

Alan Walker comes to Lucky Star quite often, but not often enough to really get to know him
(Relations. List each character by name, in their respective color, and your character’s current thoughts on them. Most characters should be aware of each other at least a little. To what extent is up to you.)

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…
What’s your name?
Scott Yi, ESU wrestling team captain.
Strand, your friendly neighbor-hood super-hero.
And you are?

How old are you?
20, what's this for again?

What do you look like?
I'm right here, but okay. Black hair, kind of olive-ish skin tone, brown eyes; kinda almond-ish shaped, high cheek bones, square jaw, kinda muscular...



What did you do before the Recluse incident?
Well, that's a bit of a loaded question. I kind of went to a no-name school. Like, it literally had no name. PS 191, that was all it was ever called. Guess that's not important though, is it? Well, what can I say? My parents did their best. My dad works at a department store as a part-owner, and my mom was a CNA. They moved from Korea and who-knows-where-else before settling in this little apartment here in New York.
I uh, wasn't always happy with being... well, I didn't always feel like me growing up, but that's in the past now. But because of some steep medical expenses in the past, despite doing a decent bit of studying, it looked like college was out of the question. Good thing I ended up getting the Osborne Physical Promise Academic Grant. Even got to meet old man Norman and his son Harry

So, yeah... Imagine knowing when things are going to happen before they happen... usually when it involves getting hurt. Now imagine waking up one day to find you rolled in your sleep- up a wall. Now imagine like, feeling these... threads, or something, that pull to other people. Yeah, it's weird.
Seriously, who are you?

Do you believe in aliens?
I read about this once: Fermi Paradox. But basically, the galaxy's so big that even our oldest transmissions are no where near another star, so even if there were aliens, and even if they were intelligent, they'd have no way of knowing we exist. That's a little sad.

What are your goals for the future?
Well, scholarships don't qualify for themselves, so busting my back as usual. Aiming for physical therapy, or emotional counseling. I figure I can take one as a minor, and not kill myself too hard.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
It's great. I mean, it's loud, it's crazy, but where else can a street artist, an Italian cook, and a little Chinese grandmother all share the same building? It's sort of like, the embodiment of America, in a way. Is that weird?

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
I mean, when I was younger, I was a total audio-rat. I had headphones on like, ninety percent of the time. It drove my mom nuts. My dad would bring offages from the store that were slightly broken, and I would try to fix them, but I had more a passion than a talent for it. Recently, it's more for homework and stuff; so I'm not sure if it's a lot less, or just as much.

What do you like?
Full of loaded questions today, huh. Okay, okay, I'm cooperating. Music, if that wasn't obvious from before. Also, big weakness for chilli-fries. They're absolute trash but I love them. But nothing beats a home-cooked meal; the fact that my mom makes a lot of Korean food has a lot to do with it. Uh, hanging with friends... but I do a lot of, let's say, nocturnal extracurricular activities.

What do you dislike?
This is gonna sound weird, but I don't drink milk much. I sort of avoid dairy altogether. Not a big fan of being like, alone alone, ya'know? Also, all this pressure about being in a relationship and having sex and stuff- I don't gel with it. Just let me chill guys, seriously.

Do you think true evil exists?
Wow, deep stuff today. I can't say I've given that serious thought. I think it's mostly people who made bad choices.

What’s your favorite color?
Probably this one, [98fb98], although this is cool too, and this.

Favorite song?
That is... a difficult choice.
Maybe this one? Or this one?

Anything else to add?
No, not really. What's this for again?

What are your thoughts on these people?
Marcus Tanner
Literally, this guy- I've known him since probably before we could both walk. Sometimes I think he knows me better than I know myself. Which, in all likelihood, is possible. I don't know if I'd have gotten through those 'medical expenses' without him. There were times when like, no one was smiling, and then, there he was.

Susan Yi
That's my mom. She expects a lot out of me, put is probably more forgiving of me than I am of myself. Also, she makes some of the best food in the world, hands down. And she has a weird habbit of being way too chill with having guests over, especially if they have dinner. With what's been going on, I feel like that's a good thing.

Dae-won "Devon" Yi
My dad is a hard worker to a fault. He expects me to do well, just as much as my mom does. But he's never not done what he had to for us, and he'd always be sure to make it home every night, even when it would cost him a promotion or something. Not that I ever think it did. You know what I mean. He took a bit to adjust to the... post medical scenario, but he was always on my side. And we would always talk about the new shipments of electronics coming into the store, so talking to him's not, like, hard? Still... I can't really tell him about the whole Recluse thing. He'd have an aneurysm.

Alexander Lee
I've seen him around once or twice. Can't say we've talked much. He's on some kind of athletic scholarship too. Only hope his heart's in it more than mine.

Bio

All right, let’s start at the beginning...

What’s your name?
Raymond Davis. The fam call me Ray-Ray, the streets call me X-Ray.

How old are you?
19.

What do you look like?
The hell kind of question is that? I look like me.
5’9”
Athletically Slim Build
Black Hair
Hazel-Brown Eyes



What did you do before the Recluse incident?
I was born and grew up in Harlem.
Got caught between my mom and dad. It didn’t end well and I was living with her.
Joined a gang named the Skywalkers, did some…outlawish things.
Did some graffiti art. In some of the most ridiculous places imaginable.
Lost my big baby brother…

Are you trying to make a documentary or something?

What happened after the incident?
I ended up ditching the Skywalkers, they wanna kill me now. They’ll get over it...eventually.
Actually started paying attention in school and did more art projects.
Oh yeah, and...I went to the doctor’s office for my check-up and my blood kept melting through equipment. That’s just the most recent of the weirdness though...

Do you believe in aliens?
You mean the LGMs that you and Buzz Lightyear are hiding at Area 51? Y’all ain’t slick.

What are your goals for the future?
Ma tells me I could qualify for some fancy art school if I put in the effort. Question is, is that really what I want to do?

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
It’s its own world, like, there’s the earth, and then there’s NYC. The good, the bad, the ugly, the sexy, what’s now, and what’s up next. Maybe I’m just a little biased.

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
Depends on the day. I’m typically on my phone a lot. Whether listening to music, watching videos, gaming...So, a lot.

What do you like?
I’m kinda into art, be it urban or more traditional.
Music, be it more rhythmic or more substantial, whether I could listen to or make it.
Guess that leads into Dancing. Not the best at it, but I've got some moves.
History, like family history or stuff that happened hundreds of years ago.
I do like stories. Tall Tales, Folk Tales, Novels, Comics, all that good stuff.
Free-Running’s become a hobby of mine after watching action movies as a little kid.
Girls. Shouldn’t have to elaborate on that one.

What do you dislike?
Snobby Folks. Especially rich ones.
Lying for stupid reasons.
Know-it-alls.
Mumble Rap.
Walnuts.
Injustice & Prejudice.
Cooking. I love food, but suck at cooking it though.
Other stuff I don’t feel like talking about...

Do you think true evil exists?
Every villain is the hero of their own story. There’s always a point A that got them to point B. People aren’t born evil, so, nah.

What’s your favorite color?
I like indigo, but this baby blue color works out pretty good too.

Favorite song?



Anything else to add?
You can probably smell what The Rock is cooking, nosy as y’all is...
[Wears a beaded necklace that his older brother made for him when he was in kindergarten. Is never seen without it.]

[The organic web-shooting glands on each hand are laced with traces of his acidic blood. This makes them burn to the touch and because of their nature the web disolves rather quickly. Use of the organic webbing makes his heart run doubletime to accomodate for the amount of blood lost. So, it isn't in his best interests to use them continually in drastic situations.]

What are your thoughts on these people?
Marcus Tanner: I remember homeboy from back with the Skywalkers. Saw dude around the city. Dude could move, almost as good as me, but a rat in the squad and did some digging; found out Marc's pops was five-0. Obvious dealbreaker, but I saw the kid locked up a couple times by his own pops. He alright, I can at least say that much.

Scott Yi: Don’t know much about him, but he seems like a chill dude.

Alexander Lee: Tony Jaa fanboy? He’s cool I guess. Saw him around in high school, but never really paid him any mind. Think his fam got a chinese food joint. That chicken and broccoli is A1.

Kim Agbayani: Kimi been a G, ever since she first moved here. There was just this vibe that I could really relate to. Don't let her age fool you, she no joke. I raised her, she raised me; when the chips are down, there's no one else I'd rather have in my corner.

Lindy Audrum: Lindy? Oh yeah, she cool too. Even though she little, she got dog in her bruh. But she ain't no bitch. Met her at the Murdock Boxing Gym in Hell's Kitchen. Shorty got hands and the heart to go with it.


All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…


What’s your name?
Alexander 'Xander' Lee
'Alexander The Great'

How old are you?
19

What do you look like?
5'10"
Muscular Mesomorphic Build
Mid-length Tapered Black Hair
Vitiligo
Scarred Torso; Tattooed on his Back.




What did you do before the Recluse incident?
Alexander was born of a one-night stand when his mother was a teenager and she died giving birth to him. Because of this he never found out who his father was and was raised by his grandparents. 

His uncle, Frank, ran a Muay Thai dojo for a couple of years before he was born and started training there under him when he was only five. Unfortunately what he did not know was that Frank had a gambling addiction and ended up owing money to the local mob. So his life was relatively peaceful until Uncle Frank was no longer able to pay his debts. 

One night during the summer, before Xander's senior year, he was training late at his uncle's dojo. Some thugs in suits broke into Frank's office, but he was too focused on his training to notice until it was too late and he heard a gunshot. That night his uncle and sifu died in his arms. 

What happened after the incident?
Alexander continued to obsessively search for the people who were responsible for the death of his uncle. This is mostly due to cops letting the case go cold. In which case, Xander decided to find his own justice.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
I have lived in Chinatown my entire life and I generally like most parts of the city, but some areas I tend to avoid.

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
My phone, laptop, and the gear in the family restaurant. I prefer to do most things manually.

What do you like?
Martial Arts, Family, Honorable Combat, Making Friends, Cats.

What do you dislike?
Mafias, Guns, Drugs, and Politics

Do you think true evil exists?
I'm honestly not entirely sure yet...

What’s your favorite color?
Purple

Favorite song?



Anything else to add?
I was a big fan of various mythologies as a kid, mostly Chinese, Greek, Thai, Egyptian, and Japanese. The tattoo on my back used to be the symbol of my uncle’s school before it was disbanded...for obvious reasons.

What are your thoughts on these people?

Patricia and Jason Lee are my grandparents, they run a Chinese restaurant also they literally raised me, though my Uncle Frank also had a big hand in that...

Scott Yi is a casual classmate of mine that I don't really know much about other than the fact that both of us on here on a scholarship, him for science and me for athletics.

I saw X-Ray around a bit in high school, but did not really notice him, until he started to go to Lucky Star

Lindy and her dad are regulars at the restaurant so I knew her in passing, but never really met her until a couple of months ago at my first Cross-Martial Art Tournament and where I managed to defeat Jaeger.

Kim Agbayani is somebody I have honestly only met once when she and her mom ate at my family's restaurant, so while I was their waiter I don't really know her to be honest...

Alan Walker comes to Lucky Star quite often, but not often enough to really get to know him.

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…

What’s your name?
Clara Cabello.

How old are you?
19 years!

What do you look like?
Eh, somethin' like this.
( art work blatantly stolen from Anya Corazon, no relation) 

Usually latina chicks don't have hair as red as mine- but go figure. I like to think I'm pretty ripped- gotta nice figure, right? Well, I need to stay in shape for my work. I'm like, average height. 5'7 or somethin, I can't remember. 

What did you do before the Recluse incident?
I had a small family. Too small. Just me and my mom- that asshole couldn't have died sooner. She just moved into the country recently- probably illegally. Ain't that wait time like 20 fuckin' years or somethin'? She was not...not nice to me. I don't want your fuckin' pity. Being on my own was good for me, I ran away before she killed herself with her bad habits. So, what, I had to make do. Never did have a job or an education growin' up, I did what I had to do. You'd be surprised how much work is out there for a quick little girl like me. I always was a good thief. I did that for a few years. Got beat up a few times- so what? I beat up a few people myself. Ran into some twerp. Little kid named Alejandra- all alone like me. Stupid little shitbag ain't nearly as good as it I am. Dunno why I stuck out my neck for her- but me and her run together now, I guess. That was a couple years ago.

Alejandra's smart. Too smart. Too smart to be out here all by herself like me- but whatever. Neither of us are changin'. Rather die than end up in the fuckin' system- both of us can tell you that. She's like 18 now or somethin'. She watches my back and I watch hers. She usually set up the plans, and I executed them. Me an' her made bank compared to when we were by ourselves. Lots of money in grand theft auto- I don't have a liscence but I'm a great driver. Alejandra taught me how to break in and hotwire 'em, though. She even got her hands on one of them credit card swiper thingies- I dunno how they work. Man you don't even know- we made a great team. Still do.  By the way, I call her AJ. Her last name is Jonas, and the nickname AJ is like- a thing- so why not?

I thought I was done for. I'd never felt so shitty- I was going for an easy mark at Empire State University when that shit happened. Alejndra was freaking out- specially when I fell asleep for so long. She was considering taking me to the hospital- but not only would that use up all our savings helping me, I'd also be arrested and it'd all be over. But when I woke up, I felt great. Stronger. Faster- way faster than I ever had been before. Way sharper. I could even stick to fucking walls and run on 'em like they were floors. Even through my shoes or gloves. God damn! I have fucking superpowers. Like in the comics AJ reads. I still can't believe it. This was an opportunity, AJ and I both knew it. She was smart, but equipment was scarce. But with my new superpowers, anything was possible. Our crimes started to go up in reward BIG TIME. 

We weren't the only ones, either. All sorts of freaks like me were walkin' around town- and some of 'em had some nasty shit. Webs, though. We don't gotta lot, but AJ actual reverse engineered that shit and made me my own god damn web shooters- I couldn't fucking believe it. She should be in college. But apparently I'm her older sister now or something, and she's sticking by my side and I'm grateful for it. Our spree is just getting started, motherfucker. New York has no idea what's about to hit it.

Do you believe in aliens?
What? No. Maybe? I dunno, I never really thought about it.

What are your goals for the future?
Spider-Manning does absolutely pay the bills, bitch. Me an' AJ are gonna make fuckin' bank. We just bought our own place. I dunno when we're gonna stop. AJ is gonna cook more shit up and I'm gonna use it, and no one's gonna stop us. Ambition- we always had it. Now we just got the tools to make it work. People are gonna learn to respect us. Fear us, even. I could beat up 10 people at once- kill em with my bare hands if I wanted too. Can't lay a finger on me. New York is gonna remember us.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?

God-awful place- but it's my home. No opportunities- not the one's they want you to have. You gotta make your own god damn opportunities.

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?

I got a little flip phone- personally I don't really use much. That's more AJ's thing. She's got this little toolkit she tinkers with, they made my web shooters. We're gonna get her a laptop and a brand new phone and all that shit.

What do you like?

Money. 

Alejandara. Uh, not necessarily in that order. This list ain't in order, it's more of a vague kind of- you get it.

Hot people. You know it.

Freedom! No one can keep me down or inside. I do my own thing.

Coming out on top. I like winning...like I said, this list ain't in order. I think I like winnin' more than anything else. 

What do you dislike?
Poverty. I'm never gonna be broke again. Ever.

The system- the man, the god damn- society? Fuck it. It's stupid. I do what I want. Cops 'n all that shit can go fuck itself. 'Specially the cops- pigs.

Losing. I don't lose, okay? I win. 

Like...people? Everyone's an asshole, a pussy, or dead. Fuck everyone, you know? I got mine.

Heroine.

Do you think true evil exists?

No. Probably not. Alejandra put's it best- morality is subjective. That's what she says. 

What’s your favorite color?
Orange!

Favorite song?

Prolly this one. Can't really relate to the father part- but it get's the message across, yeah? Don't mess with my family.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEX9ht4bexQ

Anything else to add?
Spiders, man. Wasn't my idea to go with the spider shirt, but Alejandra insisted it looked cool. Maybe she's right. Spiders are pretty badass.

What are your thoughts on these people?
Alejandra Jonas- She's my family. Like my little sister or somethin'. I...I mean, don't say this around her, but I'd do anything for her. Anything. I don't know what I'd do without her. Being by myself again...I don't think I could do that. She's gotta be the smartest dumbass I've ever met. She's taught me a lot, and hopefully I've done right by her so far. The two of us deserve more than we got, that's for sure. I'm gonna take it.

Reyna Rowe- I used to know her, we used to run together, actually. She always seemed like she wanted to get out, though. Her and her deadbeat dad. She was smart though. Wonder what ever happened to her?

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…

What’s your name?
Alejandra Jonas.

How old are you?
I'm eighteen.

What do you look like?
Here. 
 (this time I stole Barbara Rodriguez)

I like to wear coats. Cargo coats, with lots of pockets for lots of useful things. Dunno why women's clothing so rarely has pockets. Plus, cargo coats are easily reusable, durable, and help keep me warm. Underneath, just some t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, usual stuff. When I can, I put on black eyeliner and lipstick, cause I'm cool like that. My right nostril and ears are both pierced, I think it looks cool. Generally I like to wear a beanie of some kind too. My hair is black and it's chest length. I just wear it down. Sometimes I comb it? 

What did you do before the Recluse incident?
Nobody knows this- not even Clara. I told her my parents are dead, but in reality they're still alive. Super rich, too. Thing is, I'm never going back. Never. No one would understand why if I told them. Why would I rather live on the streets with some random girl? Why would I ever do that? 'Cause they're assholes, thats why. They don't understand me at all, I don't even know if they understand human emotion. I was always a smart kid, and for some reason that meant they had the right to take my life away. Nothing I did was ever good enough for them. If my dad ever told me he loved me, I don't remember it. All my childhood was spent indoors, studying. Looking at books, all god damn day. I got sick of it. I was 16 when I ran away- I had been in college for 3 years already at that point. Can you believe that? 13 years old and already in college. I was depressed. I'm sure there's some kids out there who are so happy to be hardworking and dilligent, always getting their work done and being a doctor at 21. Then they get to retire as soulless sociopaths who's never made a meaningful connection in their life. Being a doctor, or a lawyer, getting a spouse, having two kids, retire, die. A cog in the machine. No thanks. I wanted to live, really live. So I ran away. Never felt so free in my life. I was already forced to learn everything I needed too, anyway. To be honest, it was a bad idea. But I saw it as my only option. 

I became a thief. I was on the streets for six months when I ran into Clara. I had gotten caught pick pocketing and these assholes were probably going to beat the shit out of me for fun. I probably deserved it- I was a really bad thief. I was all dirty, poor. If I went anywhere for help they would just drag me back to my parents. They don't live in Manhattan, but I figured it was the perfect city to get lost in and make a path for myself. Clara saved me, point blank. Not only from those guys by stabbing them in the kidneys with a pocket knife, but she really saved my life. If I hadn't met her I'd probably already be dead. One way or another.

Turns out she and I make a good team. A really good team. She's my best friend. Like an older sister. She taught me a lot, and I tried to teach her some things but she says its not really her area of expertise. First person I ever met to see me as who I really was, and not as some kinda pet project or investment. For two years she and I worked the streets together, and we're building a life. She and I already had big ambitions. But that was before the Recluse Incident. That was what really changed our lives.

What happened after the incident?
Clara got superpowers. Just like in the comic books I read. Neither of us could believe it, but neither of us could deny that she could stand on the ceiling and catch a ball thrown at the back of her head without looking. After that, she started raking in the cash big time. I knew I was smart, but I had forgotten how smart I actually was. I don't mean to brag, but I'm basically a technological goddess. I'm joking, of course, but engineering 101 paid off. I mean I already knew everything they had to teach me, but that's besides the point. I'm pretty sure I started developing some world changing technology. Either way, I kept it to myself and it made Clara a force to be reckoned with on the streets. We're going to make money. BIG TIME.

Do you believe in aliens?
No. 

What are your goals for the future?
After making a boatload of money? I'm not sure. Maybe Clara and I could start making the world a better place, or something. Where kids can be kids and everyone isn't so damn selfish. I know that's ironic coming from someone like me, but I did what I had too to survive. Doesn't mean everyone else has too. One thing I'm never going to do is become apart of the establishment. Society isn't going to break me. I'm not going to be some kind of philanthropist who came from nothing. I'm not going to be in some god damn magazine, person of the year nobel peace prize bullshit. I'm going to make real change. Change people aren't going to like, because that's the only kind of change that matters.

Maybe. I don't know. I'll step off my soapbox and admit that right now, all I want is for Clara and I to be happy. Maybe get a boyfriend or something? If Clara doesn't scare them off.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
It's great. I've only been here for two years but anyone can get lost inside. I fled to New York City one person, and I'm going to emerge from it a changed woman. 

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
A lot. I spend most of my day on it. But unlike most people, I'm actually productive.

What do you like?
Clara Cabello, of course. Making money. Tech. Football is fun if I ever get the chance to play it. Ironically I probably spend more time researching and reading now then I did back in college, but the difference here is now I'm doing it for something, someone, I care about. Actually useful stuff that I'm going to use to forge my own destiny. Again, soapbox, sorry. Other than that, I like TV, video games, you know the usual stuff. Once we get financially secure I'm probably going to look a little more into hobbies than I am right now. Pizza is great, too. Bugs and animals are cool, too, particularly spiders.

What do you dislike?
Cops. Feeling trapped. I mean, just society in general is really screwed up right now, you know? I also don't like stupid people. Not like Clara. I mean, she's stupid, but she's like, really smart in other ways. Like my mom is really smart, but she's stupid in every other way that matters. Most people are dumb like that. I don't like people that don't...get it. I also don't like people that look down on me. I also hate hot dogs, they're disgusting.

Do you think true evil exists?
Nah. But that doesn't mean people can't be soulless assholes, or deserve to die. But evil? Morality is subjective, I believe. But it still matters. I choose to believe that I am correct.

What’s your favorite color?
Pinky purply blue?

Favorite song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZvifPawrOw This is a good one. It's self-aware, but really it's a song about freedom and doing what you want. Going after what you want, even if it is something as "petty" as fame and fortune. I want to be rockstar. Also, it's a really good song.

Anything else to add?
I think I've said enough.

What are your thoughts on these people?
Clara Cabello: Like an older sister to me. Family is what one chooses, and I choose her.

What’s your name?
Nalini Nortman

How old are you?
19

What do you look like?"

Perfectly parted, midnight brown hair and a soft, round jaw line frames a full and even face. Although her caramel skin is a shade darker than others and her bright, steel gray eyes are rarity, her ethnicity is difficult to place. Traces of African, Indian, and others blend together in a way that sometimes provokes a curious second glance. More striking than cute, a hint of soft curves barely conceal the physique of a natural-born athlete.

What did you do before the Recluse incident?
"What everyone else does at my age I guess... I was figuring shit out. Still am too."

Born to a restaurant owner from South Africa and an Administrative Assistant to the Indian Consulate, her life so far has been a wild ride. Her father was an outspoken man, excellent chef, and obsessed with spices around the world. Even so, he always had time for her and many of her memories were spent working in her father's kitchen. Many of the cooks and managers were so much like family that they attended her highschool graduation. While her friends and the kitchen staff understand the situation, her relationship with her mother is tenuous at best, her father describes it more as a "cold war". Working for the consulate means Nalini's mother rarely comes home to visit, a fact which has strained their relationship to the breaking point. Despite the cold distance between the two and years of simmering resentment, she admires her mother as self-made woman, just not much as a parent. 

Freshman year of University wasn't all it cracked up to be. Not one to mince words, she freely speaks her mind. Her friends have always been few, and despite enthusiastic promises to stay in touch, many of her old highschool crew slowly started to drift away into their own lives. None of the people she knew and actually liked made it to ESU, neither were they pursuing a math degree. Her classmates were a dull lot. The people she found most interesting she didn't get along with at all, and the friendliest ones were the most boring.

Her feelings of isolation were beginning to peak when the chemical attack happened, and her life hasn't been the same ever since.

What happened after the incident?
"I put arsenic in my pad thai today. It was another one of those weird cravings. I was really surprised. The nutty flavor of it blended well with the peanut sauce and the noodles.

It worries me still, but it's better than starving. I already tried that, and my stomach still ties itself in knots when I think about it too much.

I'm still pissed about the coffee though! The last time I got an expresso, I was tripping over myself like an alcoholic, and I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache and a worse hangover. I couldn't even make it to school.

I can eat rat poison and be fine, but I can't drink the one thing I love the most? 
These powers are so stupid!"

-- Diary entry #157

"Okay, now I'm worried.
I've felt like garbage for the last few weeks. It started with a fever, but more recently it felt like there was an elephant standing on my chest. With all the stress, my roommate thought I might have pneumonia.

She took me to the ER, and the nurses put me in front of the xray machine. I don't know what's going on, but I could feel it. Right when I entered the room, before they ever turned it on, I could feel it on my skin somehow.

When the radiologist finally turned it on, I felt a sudden rush. It was warm, like sitting under the sun, except I could hear my heart pounding and the entire room brightened. Colors popped out at me in 3D. It was surreal.

It only lasted for a few seconds, but it felt amazing. Apparently, it also cured my pneumonia. All the ER nurses were shocked. I had to escape or they would've asked a lot more questions I don't have answers to.

Like... What am I?"

-- Diary entry #209

Abilities

Strength [15/100]
Durability [10/100]
Agility [10/100]
Poison-Eater* [40/100]
Healing Factor (Altered)* [10/100]
Spider-sense (Altered)* [15/100]

Poison-Eater
Nalini's mutations, while not immediately visible, are well beyond the extreme.

Her already dark skin instantly darkens further in the presence of harmful radiation. More to the point, it heals her and makes her stronger, faster, her senses sharper. Most toxic things do. From rat poison to a mouthful of carbon monoxide to clinical radiation, she absorbs toxins and experiences a temporary boost in power while in their presence. The more of it there is the stronger the effect. 

This also causes her to get bizarre cravings for things most people would consider inedible, or in some cases outright lethal.

Unsurprisingly, her new powers has had other side effects. Her body is poisonous to most animals, and typically fatal. The last time a mosquito bit her, it died within seconds. Her pet dog, Momo, who eagerly tries to lick people in the face, was paralyzed for over an hour after licking the drool off Nalini's sleeping face. 

Healing Factor
Nalini doesn't heal from injuries faster than the average human, and can catch a cold the same as anyone else. However, a heavy dose of poison can trigger her typically dormant healing factor. Her poison-eating ability fuels it.

Spider-Sense
Although Nalini's senses have been enhanced, she doesn't possess a 'danger sense'. She can however see UV light, which makes walking down the street at night more like taking a VR adventure through the world of Pandora from Avatar. Even in the dark, she can see a vivid technicolor landscape, bright and fascinating against a backdrop of dull blue tones.

Additionally, she can sense nearby toxins and radiation, which are typically accompanied by some kind of unique scent, or taste.

Do you believe in aliens?
"I guess it depends on your definition. We already know extremophile bacteria can survive in space almost indefinitely, and there's strong evidence to suggest they do exist all over the place. If you were to ask me "Do I believe in tiny green men", I would say yes, but only if they were microscopic and dine on space rock."

What are your goals for the future?
"I've always liked math. There's a subtle beauty in numbers, a rhythm and cycle to things everywhere, and it's an adventure to uncover them. If I'm being honest with myself, I don't really know what I want. I just know what like and I know who I am. Hopefully, that's good enough."

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
"It's like an experiment in trying to fit the whole world into an Urban Wildlife Preservation, and it failed so miserably that it managed to work."

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
"Yes" 
(e.g. it's excessive...)

What do you like?
"Cooking isn't a hobby for me, it's my heritage."
"Running, jogging, whatever... It helps clear my head. I'm also told it's good for me, go figure."
"Everyone seems to think math is scary. I like to prove them wrong."
"I prefer my Stand-up Comedy with a side order of suffocation from laughter. According to the internet, it also cures cancer."
"Experimental music from across the world always finds a way into my playlists. Although, Imogen Heap is definitely one of my favorites."


What do you dislike?
"Not being able to drink coffee without regretting it later that day"
"People who can't think for themselves are ignorant, but redeemable. People who won't think for themselves are a public menace."
"I hate liars, unless they're good a it."

Do you think true evil exists?
"My Dad once said to me: 
Most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally evil, but by people being fundamentally people. 

I don't know if he's right, but so far no one has proven him wrong."

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…


What’s your name?
Morgan Ward 

How old are you?
20

What do you look like?
White, 5'11", brown spiked hair, green eyes, lean but muscled, male.





What did you do before the Recluse incident?
Morgan grew up in rural New York living with his grandfather. His parents lived in the city working as traders and due to them never having time to help their son he stayed on a farm helping his grandfather. He was ten when he learned he could take apart and rewire electronics which became his hobby. His grandfather noticed his talent and talked to his parents about getting him into a good school for technology in the city. To no avail they simply had no time for their son. 

Morgan grew bitter as he got older and it was when he was seventeen that his parents died due to a mysterious circumstances. They had been found in their apartment, meager though it looked, murdered. Both had been strangled to death and the place had been turned over as if someone was looking for something. From that point on grandpa made it a point to make sure Morgan knew how to defend himself and as well to get him into a good school. 

Grandpa loved his grandson and in the year after his parents died Morgan learned alot but also lost more. His grandpa died in his sleep the day after Morgan received the letter of acceptance into a great technology school. In grandpa's will Morgan was surprised to find that his schooling had been taken care of by a trust his grandfather had set up. He also had an apartment that was paid up for with a note... 

"My boy you have worked hard with me all your life with no more help than you ever needed. You have taken care of me and this farm for far to long. I leave everything to you to sell or make your own. The help can keep the farm running and the neighbors agreed to manage things while you're away at school. That is my one requirement that you attend and complete school. Make something of yourself boy. Be more than the hard lessons you had to learn from your parents." 

Morgan then attended school doing as his grandpa wished. Flash forward two years to the Recluse incident Morgan has his world turned upside down again...now the rest if the story unfolds in the following pages.

Super Strength:10

To become a developer of hardware and software as well as protect his place in life.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?

Bio

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…


What’s your name?
"Noelle Hayes. Friends and family call me Ripley though - that's my middle name."

How old are you?
"19, that's me!"

What do you look like?

"What do I look like? Well uh... I have teal hair and... I think I'm quite tall, not like super tall, but still. Maybe around 5'9"? People can never figure out the color of my eyes and to be honest neither can I. Depends on the lighting really, but mostly they look kinda grayish hazel..? It's an ongoing debate, trust me."

"I have a few piercings. And if you're wondering about the little scar I have here on my cheekbone, I really wish I could say it's a hardcore battlescar. But no, I got it before all of this spidey stuff and well... Okay, I'm not going to tell you the story because it is extremely unimpressive. But basically I cut my face preeettty badly as a kid. The doctors said it would probably leave a faint scar... and it did."

"My suit is basically a repurposed wet suit, so there's that."

What did you do before the Recluse incident?
"My parents raised me in California, where we had a house for ourselves. They tell me I've always been really interested in sea life, ever since I was little. That's how I remember most of my childhood, really. I'm an only child, so I've always been pretty used to playing alone. Doesn't mean it didn't suck, though. I had many hobbies - I started diving rather young, and I've even learned how to surf. Dad would always say I learned to dive before I learned to swim, and that kind of sums me up as a person, really.

We were happy. I think. Now, looking back, I can see it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Mum and dad fought a lot, I was alone a lot. They both loved me dearly, but as the years went on, their fights grew bigger and interactions more bitter. It wasn't a great environment to grow up in, and while I'm glad they finally divorced a six months ago, I wish they would've done it years sooner. I didn't have many friends growing up. I think people found me annoying, talking too much. I could never blame them for feeling that way - I can get lost in my own excitement when I'm passionate about something. Only in the recent years I've started making more friendly acquaintances and even friends, and honestly that has been the best part of moving from California to New York.

After divorcing my mum moved back to California. Dad lives in New York like I do, albeit on the other side of the city. I was always more of my father's girl anyway. Living on campus has been truly new and exciting, and a nice change of pace from high school.

Yeah, that's everything. Everything interesting anyway. I don't... Yeah, there are things I'd rather leave untouched, if that's fine."

What happened after the incident?
"I thought I'd fallen sick, like deadly ill. I couldn't stop being hyper aware of everything around me and sweating buckets. Later I realised I wasn't dying, but changing. When I would start sticking to all surfaces like my fingers had been superglued, I realised there was definitely something wrong with me. Or at least different. I called my dad the other day to make sure he was okay. He said he was, but now it's been a few days of radio silence. I'm starting to get worried - it's not like him to miss calls."

Strength | 0
Agility | 20
Durability | 5
Regeneration | 25
Spider-sense | 0
Mutation* | 50
*Air bubble + Organic & liquid web + Underwater Adaptability
(includes heightened senses underwater, darkvision, and automatic decompression)

"Okay, maybe spacial awareness isn't my strongest suit, but you should see me in water! It's actually really fascinating, you see, thanks to the small hairs on my suit's antennae I'm able to create a durable bubble of breathable air around my head. It comes really handy even on land, especially if I need to save someone from a burning building. It really is super interesting! The air bubble mimics the way the actual diving spiders - diving bell spiders - create a breathable bubble around their bodies, only this time it's around my head like a helmet, and... Wait, I can see you're not listening. I didn't bore you, did I?"

"Oh, so you only want to know why my spider-sense is absolute rubbish? Well... I guess you could say I get distracted easily. By... by everything, really."

Do you believe in aliens?
"Who doesn't? No but really, have you ever seen an octopus? Or any deep sea creatures for that matter? If you think aliens are too far-fetched, just wait 'till you hear about chimaeras and barreleyes..."

What are your goals for the future?
"I'm interested in marine biology. I'm currently studying it at the uni, actually. I want to help the oceans recover, to prevent the coral reefs from dying, to study underwater life as a career. Those are all high and mighty goals, and I don't think I'll ever be the one to single-handedly solve anything. Still, science is always making new breakthroughs so I might as well try and help where I can."

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
"It's weird living in the opposite side of the country, but I think I'm adapting pretty well. California was nice with all the heat and vicinity to some great beaches, but I'm really loving the fact that we have four seasons here in NY. There aren't as many good scuba diving places here, so that's probably my biggest peeve..."

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
"A... decent amount, for sure. How can one not in today's day and age? Don't get me wrong, I'm totally a phone addict, not one of those naggers with the baby boomer mindset of 'technology bad, internet evil'. I'm just saying that even if I didn't want to use my days face glued to the screen, how could I? It's pretty much the basis for modern society, and that's neat!"

What do you like?

- Scuba diving - "I no longer need the suit since I have my own... heh."
- Marine biology
- Conspiracy theories - "For fun, obviously! The wilder the better."
- Retro video games and RPGs - "I still have a tamagotchi that works! One of the early versions, too."
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Summertime
- Girls, for instance
- "People who at least pretend to listen when I talk..."
- Spontaneous activities because "treat yo-self"

What do you dislike?

- Sea food - "Ironic, I know."
- Raisins - "DISLIKE ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH A WORD TO DESCRIBE MY HATRED FOR THEM.."
- Tinnitus - "I try to drown it out with music, mainly, but there's nothing I'll ever miss more than the sweet absence of noise."
- Ignorant people, or self-absorbed people in general
- Indoor swimming pools
- Corporate greed
- Pollution
- Winter sports
- Apathy

Do you think true evil exists?
"Oh, absolutely: Raisins, the truest of all evils. Whoever created the concept of raisins should be punished for the evil they've unleashed on this world."

What’s your favorite color?
"Did my hair colour give it away? I really like teal, although orange is a very nice colour as well."

Favorite song?

"It's a close tie between these two." 



Anything else to add?
"I was actually born in Wales. That's where my dad's from. We moved to California when I was really small 'cause that's where my mum's from. I guess she just got tired of the lousy weather... Not that dad minded. He loves it here."
"Coincidentally, the diving spell spider's habitat is actually in Europe. They live in fresh water, mostly ponds, and can be found in UK too. I don't think I've ever seen a live one, though."
"Usually we visit my dad's parents every two years or so, so I get to go back to the place I spent my early years. Or... at least we used to, that is."
"I'm not completely vegetarian, seeing as I eat fish from time to time. But I haven't eaten red meat since I was 12."
"I'm definitely a chaotic neutral btw."
"It's not something I go around announcing, but I've been on medication for depression since age 13."

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…


What's your name?
Merlyna Cromwell

How old are you?
19

What do you look like?





What did you do before the Recluse incident?
For the most part I grew up a normal child. From ages born to nine life was that a upper middle class girl. I attended the best place mom and dad afforded till mom got sick off a new chemical material they had been working on. Mom was smart. Like scary smart and dad knew his way around money and was knowledgable about the stuff mom did so they made a great pair. Her sickness tore them apart and I swear she died of a broken heart and it had nothing to do with a chemical. 

Now my family is one of the leading companies in New York. Our hands are in almost everything now a days though we started out as a synthetic materials company. Dad almost shut down the company before my stepmother came along. My stepmother married my father shortly after my eleventh birthday and they the company evolved over night and we moved up in life. This meant that I was left to my own devices and ignored. 

At first it was nice but then I grew resentful blaming my father for my mother's death and hating my stepmother for all the changes. I became the rich rebel girl in school. I picked fights with the prissy girls that picked on me which if I'm being honest didnt make anyone feel any better. But mom taught me to stick up for myself and I wasnt going to let that die with her. I was an only child but mom also taught me to stick up to others that would do wrong by others. There were alot of things she taught me but in the end when I was sixteen I started experimenting with drugs going in and out of police cars and night clubs like I changed clothes. My father not having time for a daughter that did these things covered it all up with nothing more than a harsh glance and money to pay off the police. School was just one long blur and the only real things I was good at was gymnastics, kickboxing, and finance. So if I didnt kick your ass or school you in the ways of money I was on no ones radar. Well besides the librarian in who I shared a love for books.

When I turned nineteen I started taking harder stuff and I took LSD the night of the recluse event. Somehow my spirit was separated from my body. My father kept my body alive saying that he knew I would pull through. At the time right after the event I was nothing more than a ghost. I didnt know who I was or why I was the way I was. From here forward is that story...

What happened after the incident?
Super Strength:5
Agility:10
Durability:0
Regeneration:10
Spider-Sense:15
Mutation:60

My mutation is strange in that the combination of drugs and the event activated part of my brain that most others have dormant. I'm able to produce physic blasts, become intangible by taping into the astral plane, I can syphon physic energy to fuel these powers, I'm able to enter the astral plane by leaving my body behind and in this form I can posse someone to communicate with them but not control them, lastly I can use my webbing in this form to link together minds so they they can communicate with each other. 

(Enter can the webbing be invisible?)

Do you believe in aliens?
Maybe? I mean I've learned there is an astral realm soooo its possible. 

What are your goals for the future?
Current goal is to figure out who I am and why I have this feeling I'm missing something.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
The city? Well it's just a city. Tall buildings and such. Just all the same to me.

How much technology do you use on a daily basis? Well I used to use all kinds of electronics but as I am pretty much a ghost now I dont use any.

What do you like?
I used to collect books but lost touch with that after my mom died. I'm good at annoying my father and money management as I did like to buy drugs and eat so I had to make sure I had enough for both. My mom.

What do you dislike?
I dont care for my family anymore as they dont seem like a family. As for food? Hmmm fish is the worst thing on the planet. Mostly though I hate those who chose to further themselves off the feelings of others.

Do you think true evil exists?
True evil? Ehh depends on your definition. Honestly I think my stepmother is true evil.

What’s your favorite color?
Black and purple.

Favorite song?
