Was Arachne vain and full of hubris? Or was she a triumphant prodigy sneering in the face of divine tyrants?

There's a magic spider on the wind he spins a web for you, and if you wish upon a spider all your wishes will all come true...

A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies.

We are children. We say "forever". Then. When we grow up more, and more. Often we say "never".

Character Summary

Name: Arachnid Zero
Aliases: The Zeroth Arachnid, Arach Zero, A0, Absolute Spider, Spidez, Spiderdude, Sir Webalot, Kumo, Mugai No Kumo
Age: Approximately 30 of your human years. 
Birthday: I don't know for certain. At a guess from my personality, probably sometime during the Flyer's Moon. 
Ethnicity: Brown Recluse
Location: A cold place with too much winter, and never enough sunlight. I wish I could sneak onto a plain and go somewhere nicer. But humans are too prone to try and squish me. 
Gender: Male
Major/Minor: Making Webs/Producing Venom
Occupation: Weaver
Languages: English
Current Bio Theme: Spiderlike
Years Rping: Many, on and off
Preferred Rp Section: TBA. Maybe Casual. Not sure, though. 
Rp Level: Casual-ish
Dedication Level: So far, so good. 
Biggest Rp Pet Peeve: Not enough GMs making roleplays that allow for spiderlike characters. 
Teach New Rpers Or Coach New GM's: Neither. I am a mere Padawan Learner of a Harch, and it's a crazy galaxy out there. 
Appearance

Height: Itsy bitsy. 
Weight: Kind of round
Build: Aranean
Eyes: Black
Hair: Blondish Brown 
Skin Tone: Exoskeleton

Personal Style: Solar Vibes
Psychology

Creative * Busy * Passionate * Easily Bored * Open-minded * Timid

Sexuality: I experience attractions to the female ones.
Relationship Status: Single. 
Personality: Friendly and goofy most of the time. I try to be outgoing and adventurous but can be limited by a natural shyness that just kind of creeps up on me. 
Habits: Forgetting to use commas. Making odd attempts at humor just to see if they work. Sitting in the center of a web, meditating. 
Hobbies: I am interested in human art, science, and philosophy. I have also found some old machines that let you play through not real scenarios. I like them. 
Fears: Being squished. Being eaten. Being exterminated. Violence from Arachnophobes. The search for meaning in existence being revealed to be wholly futile, and life itself being revealed to be one amazingly complex accident, unrel8ted to any greater purpose. 
Dislikes: Injustice. Mean people. Ignorance, and the promotion of it as a good thing. 
Cards On The Table

Advice To The World: Do not be afraid of spiders. We do not wish any harm upon you giants. And if given the chance, many of us could become good friends to you.
Anything Else: Not at the moment... 



I think Spider-Man has been a double edged sword in the human awareness of my kin, to be quite honest. On the one hand the character is a general triumph over willful arachnophobia. On the other hand, the comic still perpetuates negative stereotypes about spiders to it's readership. Especially the stereotype that we would bite humans without provocation. Why, it's hardly the case. As if we would waste a valuable resource like venom when one of the giants wasn't actively threatening us. Why, it's preposterous, I tell you! Absolutely preposterous. I'll have you know that human doctors are no arachnologists, so they can't be expected accurately identify a bite. And furthermore in the vast majority of reported spider bites, no one actually saw the spider! It's blind prejudice, pure and simple.
