[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]With great power comes great responsibility. These were the last words of advise Uncle Ben gave before his death at the hands of a common mugger. Peter Parker took those fateful words to heart, dedicating the rest of his life to protecting the people of New York City. Wielding mutated powers gifted to him by a genetically-altered spider, Peter Parker is your friendly neighborhood [b]SPIDER-MAN.[/b]

His vigil has stood unbroken for over a decade. He's done battle with dozens of costumed villains, murderous vigilantes, corrupt businessmen and petty tyrants. 

His first love, Gwen Stacey, died in his arms at the hands of the Green Goblin. When Peter discovered the Goblin was actually his mentor and his best friend's father, Norman Osborn, Peter confronted him. Their climactic battle ended with Norman suffering mortal wounds. Harry Osborn preserved his father's life with experimental cryogenic tech, and vowed terrible vengeance against the violent vigilante, Spider-Man. 

Five years ago, Peter married Mary-Jane Watson, acclaimed actress and close friend. The two had a daughter together, Anna-May Parker, and moved into Forest Hills, Queens. Peter finally received the recognition he deserved from J.J. Jameson and earned himself a permanent position at the Daily Bugle as a crime reporter and photojournalist.

Things have only gotten stranger in the last month when a sixteen year old girl in a spider costume climbed in through his window claiming to be his daughter from another dimension.

I've been greatly enjoying the Ultimate Spider-Man run and started re-reading Renew Your Vows, and felt inspired to write a Spider-Man that's allowed to grow up. He's a family man now, with even more personal responsibilities than ever before. Peter Parker's struggle to juggle the many different facets of his life is a core part of his character, in my opinion: can he really continue to protect the city as Spider-Man without neglecting his personal life? Can he hold down a decent job, pay off his mortgage, and afford to send his kid to school someday? His every day struggles are deeply relatable to me, and those are the aspects I find most compelling and plan to integrate into his story.

Of course, the hard part isn't just getting by: its doing all that while villains in colorful costumes attempt to tear New York City apart, and Spider-Man's the only one that can stop them. All of his classic villains are in play: Doc Ock, the Lizard, Electro, Sandman. Norman Osborn is in a life-threatening coma after his last fateful battle with his web-slinging nemesis, but his son, Harry, is still out for revenge. There's a dimension-hopping, feral Venom looking to slaughter Peter's new teenage daughter.

Peter's been Spider-Man for a decade now. He's been in more superhero team-ups than there are hours in the week. I'm hoping to leave a lot of room for other spider-adjacent characters like Miles Morales or Silk to be picked up by interested parties.

Please include a short writing sample that demonstrates how you plan to write the character. This does not have to be used as a post later, but you are welcome to do so if your really vibing with it. As long as it shows your writing style and how you envision your character's voice and actions in the roleplay, or your wider plot, have at it![/INDENT][/COLOR]
