Spider-Men, interest check and co-gm search.

[soren]

Name: Oberon Price

Age: 17

Appearance: Stark white hair and pale blue eyes. 5'8" and medium build. If he isn't in his normal clothes he is in a lab coat and goggles helping his mom in her lab.

Background: Son of Magnolia Price, Oberon has genius intellect without the stiff attitude. A transfer student to Garfield High after his mom transferred gen-tech labs.

Hero name: Frost Weaver

Costume:

Powers:

You have 100 points to divide between these abilities.

Super Strength:10
Speed and Agility:5
Spider Sense:30
Durability:5
Accelerated Healing:20
Camouflage:30
Variant: Artic Spider Genes- this manifests as a cold substance that coats the body. Semi hardens but is still fluid enough to give an icy armor. Substance is slimy, cold to the touch, and transparent. In times when the body is in danger or need the substance will harder and become very cold, this shuts the body down and allows for slower more complete healing. (Can not regenerate lost limbs)

Weaknesses: Intense heat, caffeine and psychoactive drugs (any drugs or caffeine affect spiders alot more than humans. It's not debilitating but could mess with spider sense, healing, and ability to camouflage.)

Can't find a good image

Finished up the char sheet, it's updated above. Let me know if it needs to be adjusted.

[soren]

@webboysurf I like it. We shall wait to see what the boss says

@Gisk Hello. I would be interested in playing a spider people. I've been mulling an arachnid power variant hero for quite the time now, but I'd love to throw my hat at this with a different idea, either compared to what I had (which is mostly under-powered) or from what everyone else is getting. I like the method for gaining powers. It's a neat mix of the Ultimate Origin, with the Ultimate Clone arc and the Static Shock origin (With a perspective akin to [at least the first book of] Mary Jane loves Spider Man [I think that's what it's called? And yes, I read it, and I'm not ashamed.]) The power-grid thing also reminds me of the DS version (at least) of Spider Man Shattered Dimensions, with Spider Man 2099, Spider Man Noir, and Classic Petey all having variations on their abilities. Because my first concept is pretty radical compared to base Spiderman, I'd like to have it cleared first.

Powers: (Actual no Wall Crawling)

Super Strength: 10
Speed and Agility: 15
Spider Sense: 0
Durability: 15
Accelerated Healing: 0
Camouflage: 0
Venom Blast: 0
Variant: SpiderOptics 25- An ability transiently gained from the Jumping Spider, Spider-Optics allows for a visual acuity equal to five times that of a normal human. Vision also skews into the Ultra Violet and Infra Red ranges. This is directly linked to the typical Hyper-Equilibrium ability apparent in most Spider-Men.
Variant: Oral Webbing 25- Alterations to salivary glands allow for a rapid emission of web substance from the mouth. It forms an unsophisticated net like structure and is useful for entangling foes at short distance. [Short Burst Organic Webbing]
Vatiant: Venom Spit 10- A variation developed from extended mutation and use of Oral Webbing, this ability allows for a considerable volume (typically one liter) of poisonous fluid to be spat from the mouth. Exposure via the skin, mucousa, or blood stream leads to nausea, disorientation, and blurred vision, linked in severity to the volume of exposure and increasing linearly over the exposure time for approximately one hour per once of fluid. Once this time is reached, symptoms fade with very little residual factors.[This power can be listed as Venom Blasts I guess, but it's a late-game attack.]

If this doesn't work, I'd gladly build something else up, possibly with a slight horror bent to it? I won't be a full blown terror, but, well, what are Spider Men without a touch of... Venom? And since the big guy himself won't be showing up, something else to have people on edge?

[Burning Kitty]

Oral Webbing? That is disgusting. I love it. You might see Tess puke though. What does it taste like?

[tobiax]

@Burning Kitty Good question. Have you ever tasted spider web? Because I sure haven't.

[soren]

@tobiax Gisk has ultimate say some and I need to look over it more before I give a good weigh in. Just woke up

[tobiax]

@soren No prob dude/dudette, I totally get it. I either want to go jaws-and-claws if this doesn't work (although Tess does seem to already be the "Other", @Burning Kitty) or 100% Spider Sense. 100% Spider Sense would be more of a background asset, as knowing threats are coming doesn't mean that he/she'd be fast enough to react to them. That being said, that character may end up an Ozcorp target for being able to, ya-know, sense the webslingers and all that. Depending on how Gisk wants to work Spider Sense, and when it takes place (i.e. if Spider Verse/Inheritor/Totem/Other logic applies or not) but then again- do we trigger each other's spider senses, since our Powers all have the same origin?

[soren]

@tobiax I actually didn't think about that cause I had forgotten that was a thing. Between Gisk's parent and mine plus me we might have to make inhibitors later on. Later on as in probably sooner rather than later.

[tobiax]

@soren That's fine, although you lost me with that second sentence, sorry. Also, this may be of some interest.

[soren]

@tobiax I was meaning between the science characters we might be able to figure out a way to stop of spider senses from triggering each others

[tobiax]

@soren Oh, No, I was asking a different question. Specifically, Venom doesn't trigger Peter's Spider Sense, and neither does Ben Riley or Spider Kaine. Meaning Venom can effectively sneak up on Spiderman like Spiderman could sneak up on a comparatively normal person. I may be wrong about this next part, but I always thought that was because Venom's spidery abilities were copied from the Web Head himself.
That being said, are we our own potential worst enemies, since we all are getting a base variation on Peter Parkers spider powers?
And in regards to the Inheritor/Totem/Spider Verse thing, I was asking if effectively having 100% Spider Sense gives you powers like Madame Web.

Lol just making sure is all. I would say internship is fine but up to gisk lol

[EldarionI]

I'm happy to change it if need be! :P I'm just trying to create someone slightly different to everyone else's 'science smart' student ;)

[soren]

Lol true

@EldarionI

I never specified my character’s scholarly success or failures.
