For thy's consideration

The Unstoppable Scarlet Spider

Costume

Name: Ben Riley
Alias: The Scarlet Spider
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Power(s):

Everything a Spider-Man can

Being a clone of the genuine, original Spider-Man Ben has roughly the same powers as the Web head himself. Ben can adhere to any solid surface from glass to skin which can give him a better grip when tossing things or people and of course it good for climbing. Thanks to his spider lineage he also has enhanced attributes such as being able to run, jump and lift things that no normal person could. The crem-de-la-crem of this Knock off Spider-Man's powers though is his ability to perceive actions or objects in the immediate area and vicinity which he calls his 'Spider sense'. He can also heal somewhat faster then a normal person, not Deadpool levels, but he can heal ribs in a matter of days.
Ben is capable of having two sharp 'Stingers' come out of his forearms but as of the beginning of the RP he has no knowledge of this and they it will take time for Ben to learn how to properly extend them at will.

Skills:

Skilled

At one point Ben had all the scientific know how and fighting skills of Peter Parker but most of his implanted memories have faded over the few years that Ben has been out in the real world. The few things that have stuck with him are bits of Parker's normal life, mechanical prowess and how to make the ever sought after webbing fluid used by Spider-Man.

Equipment: Ben wields a pair of old and bulky Web-Shooters which have more cartridge slots then the newer models of the web shooter. He has a utility belt which has extra web cartridges along with a 'spider-lamp' for dark places. His suit also has headphones built into it so Ben can listen to music while he's kicking villain behind.
Personality: Ben has a pretty optimistic view on things but is very quick to anger. Very rarely will he absolutely loose his cool and even when he does it's usually easy to calm him back down. He has a fairly laid back demeanour but he will, like everyone, have his spouts of stress from time to time.
History: Ben was born from the sick experiment of The Jackal, only to be used as a psychological weapon against the actual Peter Parker. Originally he was implanted with all of the actual Peter's memories and was to be pitted against the actual Spider-Man to demoralize the hero and take him out. This plan never came to fruition though as through a freak accident the facility Ben was held in was put into lockdown and released all the growing experiments to be used by Jackal. Though most experiments died from either not being fully developed or simply being torn to shreds by the other creatures, Ben used his superior mind to escape.

At first Ben had no idea what had happened as he still believed himself to be the actual Peter Parker but there were a few things that made him begin to doubt his legitimacy such as his slightly younger age and the fact that his memories were beginning to fade away. The nail in the coffin for Ben was the sight of Spider-Man swinging through the city that he had once remembered saving on numerous occasions. Ben came to the conclusion that he couldn't be the real Peter Parker which sent him into a downward spiral as he had an identity crisis, trying to figure out who he was. Eventually he came to terms with his predicament and decided to take up heroism for himself as The Scarlet Spider and going by the civilian name Ben Riley named after his uncle's surname and his aunt's maiden name. It wasn't long before Ben was contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D and recruited to join their new team which Ben saw as an opportunity to make his life worth something more then it already was.
Theme Song: Its on Again by Alicia Keyes
Other: Ready Freddy
-His fighting skills inherited from Spider-Man are almost completely gone due to his implanted memories fading. Because of this his fighting style is much less refined then the genuine Web-Head's.

You are accepterino. Add him to the CS tab!

[jordy0403]

Two questions, does this have space, and are characters only allowed from the Avengers universe, or could they be from any of the Marvel universes, like X-Men?

[rocketrobie2]

Addamondo! Can't wait to get this show on the road!

[Dirty Dan]

@jordy0403

Yes to both.

[jordy0403]

Yes to both.

@Dirty Dan

Does that mean it's just Avengers or other universes as well?

@jordy0403

Oh I think I misunderstood your question. This RP is Open, and you can utilize any Marvel character, within reason.

@Dirty Dan

Ok, yay!

@Dirty Dan
Here's the CS, does it need editing?


(First is the in-costume, second is normal.)
Name: James Howlett
Alias: Logan
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Power(s): Fast regeneration (The only way to kill him is to destroy the brain or cut off his head), bone claws (Has retractable claws made of bone).
Skills: Close Combat (Trained by himself to fight in close quarters, usually using dirty tricks), Ranged combat (Can moderately use most guns).
Equipment: Basic combat armour.
Personality: Grim, easy to anger, violent.
History: Born to a semi rich family, James was thrown out onto the streets when they found out that he could bring out claws. This was at the age of 9. In the years since he trained himself to fight through necessity, after only getting the scraps of what was left of the food for a year. When he was 18 he joined the army, after which S.H.I.E.L.D heard the rumours about his powers, and recruited him into the Defenders.
Other: Ready. The reason he doesn’t have an adamantium enhanced skeleton is because this would make him literally indestructible. He also doesn’t have the name Wolverine because

Spoiler for Wolverine Origins ahead

in the movie he gets this name from his wife, and since, one, I’m not having this Logan married, and two, she was with Striker, the person behind his adamantium procedure, this would break his current backstory

[Mr_pink]

Finished my app

[Dirty Dan]

Both of you can toss 'em into the Character Tab, yo.

[rocketrobie2]

@jordy0403

I really like your take on wolverine! I always thought the idea of admantiumless wolverine to be cool and the changing of his alias because of his age is really cool too!

[jordy0403]

@rocketrobie2

Thank you!

[Dirty Dan]

yall all badass, yo.

i dig your alicia keys, brah.

[rocketrobie2]

I love that song so much.

[AdamantiumWolf]

I'm interested if this is still accepting, has Storm been taken?

Unless I can do a character similar to Wolverine, cross gendered, different backstory and of course adamantium if @jordy0403 doesn't mind?

[jordy0403]

@AdamantiumWolf

If it's ok with the GM, I'm fine with it.

[AdamantiumWolf]

It'd be more x-23 ish rather than just a gender cross I suppose lol
