"Best Clutch: Inkarnate"

@Inkarnate

I read that as best 'Cuck'

I need a hard reset on my brain.

[mickilennial]

According to some people, both would be correct.

@Inkarnate

I don't know what sort of people casually refer to others as a 'Cuckhold' but those are the conversations I'd like to eavesdrop on.

Just spent a solid amount of time on certain subreddits. I don't recommend it.

Venom

Character You're Applying For: Venom, the symbiote, not the host.

Powers And Abilities: Venom is polymorphic, meaning he can change his shape to anything he needs in the moment. He can change host bodies, switching back and forth at will if necessary. He can climb any surface, and can make an imitation of Spider man's webbing. Venom has a slight healing factor, and has superhuman strength and speed. The symbiote also has telepathic abilities with whoever he is bonded with, and can take control if need be.

Origin And Backstory (In A Maximum Of Four Paragraphs): Venom is an alien biological entity normally referred to as a symbiote. The species itself is called the Klyntar, from a planet of the same name. Venom, a symbiote that "hitched a ride" on Spiderman during the secret wars, was considered insane by the others, who seeked to dominate rather than a mutual bond, and was due for incineration. He pretended to be Spiderman's suit and helped out. Once back on earth, Spiderman, freaked by Venom, asked Mr. Fantastic to remove him. Although successful, Venom later escaped, and although stung by the rejection, attempted to bond with Spider-man again, but failed because Spiderman used church bells to be rid of him.
Venom eventually bonded with Eddie Brock. Eddie Brock blamed Spiderman for his failures in life, and Venom had a similar dislike of Spiderman. Venom, although originally happy with being bonded to Eddie, became more abusive and psychotic. This was because Eddie has an adrenal gland cancer, and the Klyntar feed off of hormones. Eddie eventually sold off Venom, and Venom went through three more hosts, one being Flash Thompson. All of these hosts made Venom a little more unstable.

What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?: Venom can switch bodies at will, survive in harsh conditions, and help it's host preform complex maneuvers. It can bond with any organic entity, and can preform tasks when combined with other beings that were previously weaker.

Supporting Characters: His host, which at the moment is close to dying.

This is going horribly...

Venom was having a tough time. An evil person pissed him and his host off by shooting at them and taking a child hostage. They followed the man, but when the man reached his destination, a host of men in yellow suits with flamethrowers and machine guns targeted them. Venom himself was furious, and his host was fearful. As soon as the men in yellow fired, Venom and his host got to cover.
Now they were stuck.
We need to help the child. To hell with the humans in ridiculous clothes, we are getting in there. His host had other ideas. "No, we are going to die here, we need to leave." Venom held his host against the wall and separated his head from the host. "No, we aren't going anywhere. We are going to save that child, whether you like it or not. And you have no choice." and he recovered all of his host and took full control. He leaped out of cover and grabbed a metal panel on the way. He then charged one of the three flamers. He turned one arm into a sword and slashed at the man. He then expanded his torso at the gunmen around him, throwing them as if they weighed nothing. He blocked the shots and fire from the remaining men with his ramshackle shield.
Will you trust yourself now? Or do I need to continue to show you why I'm called Venom?"

So, ummm.......this isn't the present-day continuity for either company. It's player-created, Year One, and Gwen Stacy is our webslinger instead of Peter Parker. So yeah, continuity-wise I'm afraid it's a page-one rewrite, and even then you're gonna want to talk to Henryjonesjr about spider-stuff since his Gwen is less than a year into her career.

Also, we're about two weeks away from the RP's season ending.

[mickilennial]

There's also a villain-embargo. For right now, isn't there? At least, as a playable POV.

[AndyC]

Oh hey, your avatar's an anime chick I actually recognize for once.

Plan is to stick with a set for longer than three days. We'll see if I can do it.

[Lord Wraith]

I thought villainous PCs were indefinitely off the table.

If only.

@Inkarnate

Venom wasn't a villain, He's an anti-hero, like deadpool. The only person he wanted to kill was spiderman. anyone else was to be protected unless they were criminals. That's how he was in the comics, and that's how I know him. And even then, he eventually decided to let spiderman live.

[Dealdric]

@AndyC

Thank you for clarification.

[Retired]

I mean, if we're being technical, Venom was a hardcore villain until '93 when he became a soft anti-hero. Not like Deadpool, who, aside from his first appearance, immediately veered away from villain territory. The majority of the time even still in the early and mid 90's, though, Venom was still very much a bad guy. Late 90's clarified the anti-hero aspects more, but it wasn't until the mid-2000's that it was firmly established that his old hardcore villainous days were a thing of the past, traded in for muddled greys and dramatic internal conflict.

Counterpoint: Agent Venom.

_{though it could be argued that's basically a different character}

@Superboy

Maybe it's just because I'm an old and cranky nerd who doesn't like any character introduced past the late 90s or so, but Agent Venom did absolutely nothing for me. Cool design if you're into the whole 'tactical' aesthetic, but otherwise.....eh. I'm of the opinion that when you've got a nigh-indestructible alien life form bonded to you that grants you a vast array of awesome super-powers, opting to use a gun is just anticlimactic.
