Welcome to the Spider-Verse, if you're here you're from a world without a Spider-Totem, or at least you were. All that changed when a certain Spider God needed help to save the Multiverse and the Web of Life and Destiny from a seemingly unstoppable force hellbent on the suffering of others. That's where you come in. The past five years of your world's reality have been rewritten to assemble a force capable of putting an end to this path of destruction. You've been selected for your character, potential, skills, and abilities to become a team of Spider-Totems to defend the multiverse and save other Totems. Are you up to the task? What kind of Spider are you? Will you rise, fall, or go down a dark path? Accept a Destiny made for you or create your own? It's all on you to decide, but first there's worlds out there that need saving.
Premise: The multiverse is in danger! Huge shocker, right? No, Shocker is not going around the multiverse killing Spider-People. But there is someone going around the multiverse taking out Spider Totems. Why? You'll have to find out on your journey.
Who are you and how will you be of any help?
You're from a universe that doesn't have a Peter Parker. In fact this was a universe originally without a Spider totem. Now? It has a bit more than it needs. The Spider God Anansi changed the history and trajectory of this universe, creating a whole new branched timeline after dropping his spiders at different points in the past 5 years.
What does that mean for you and your character? You get new powers, new memories, but wait there's more! As good as it feels to be a web-slinging, wall-crawling superhero or villain, it's a double-edged sword where misery follows you and darkens your path. So while you may have had a happy go lucky, stress-free life before becoming a Spider changed that with seemingly unavoidable loss.
There's a lot more details that'll be revealed later and throughout the roleplay, but this is the gist. And while this universe originally never had a Spider-Man it was still a world full of heroes, villains, powers, advanced tech, and magic. So while you may not have been a Spider in a past life your character could have been a hero or villain of their own making, but their entire lives were changed once Anansi altered history and in some ways their motivations.
This also means you may have powers and tech outside the normal Spider-powers as long as it's within reason.
What’s your name?
(Obvious.)
How old are you?
What do you look like?
(Description is preferable, picture is acceptable. Both is even better. Costumes if you have them)
What's your story? What was it like before and after becoming a Spider-Totem?
(Lay your backstories on me, guys. Good, bad, Uncle Ben moments, etc. Your character will have been bitten at any point within the past 5 years after a young Spider-Duo appeared on the scene. Also note that 5 years of your life has essentially been rewritten to add pain and misery where there wasn't any after being bitten. You don't have to disclose your original history now. Just keep that in mind for later.)
Powers and Tech
(Let's see what kind of Spider you are. What sets you apart from your fellow heroes?)
Do you believe in aliens?
(Also self-explanatory)
What are your goals for the future?
(These can be your goals as a newly-minted superhero, or mundane goals like going to college and paying the bills. Hey, Spider-Manning doesn’t pay the bills; everyone’s gotta have an ambition, right?)
You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
What do you like?
(Hobbies, talents, interests, things you like and are good at.)
What do you dislike?
(Fears, food you hate, things you consider not-good or bad.)
Do you think true evil exists?
(Heavy question, eh? Just answer honestly. No pressure.)
What’s your favorite color?
(Self-explanatory; also a place to put your text color if you have one.)
Favorite song?
(What song defines your character?)
Anything else to add?
(Miscellaneous. Anything that wasn’t covered upstairs, or anything you think is worth mentioning.)
What are your thoughts on these people?
(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.)
