@Akayaofthemoon Never apologize for liking Greek mythology.

Welcome to the Spider-Verse.

@sassy1085



You’re accepted. Welcome to the Spider-Verse.

Tales from the Spider-Verse: Spidroin

@sassy1085 No need to apologize, it’s an honest mistake.

Tales from the Spider-Verse: Spidroin

@AmpharosBoy The more the merrier! Come on in!

@sassy1085 The sheet’s fine, except the points are cumulatively out of 100, not 100 for each category. Fix that, and we’ll go from there.

Tales from the Spider-Verse: Spidroin

@DC The Dragon Okay, sounds good. Thank you!

Tales from the Spider-Verse: Spidroin

@DC The Dragon Ah, my bad, I must not have read that part. Okay, looks good. My only other concern is that you seem to have conflated Strength with Durability. Those are two separate stats. Fix that part for me, and you’re in.

Tales from the Spider-Verse: Spidroin

@Akayaofthemoon My only caveat is to avoid going “Cosmic.” Try to keep it X-Men to Marvel-street-level. As you can imagine, that still gives you a lot of leeway.

I mean, Miles Morales has bio-electricity and optical camouflage. And he’s only one Spider. You can get pretty weird before I’ll tell you no.

@DC The Dragon Looks pretty good, just wondering what his “Mutation” is, specifically.

@DC The Dragon Post it in the OOC first. If it’s accepted, pop it in the Character tab.

something something darkness

All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…

What’s your name?
My name is Marcus Trent Tanner.
Friends and enemies call me Wolf Spider.

How old are you?
I'm 20 years old.

What do you look like?
Umm... you're right here, aren't you? Look at me:



Wait, did you mean my costume? It's... kinda like this:



...but with a lot more black instead of red, since... well, I'll get to that in a minute.

What did you do before the Recluse incident?
My dad's been the one who raised me my whole life. Dunno where my mom went, and Dad doesn't like to talk about it. His business, I guess. He's not the worst parent, sure, but he's... strict. He's a cop, so that's a given. I admit, I've probably acted out a little more than I should have in response. Tried smoking, bought a motorcycle, got involved with some questionable types. Mostly I've gotten busted for being where I shouldn't be, construction sites, private property, that kind of thing. The usual. Ended up in my dad's lockup more than once. Ended up in the ER with a broken bone or two other times. Pretty sure I broke my old man's heart more than once, too. Not gonna lie, I've been reckless. But hey, maybe I'm finally turning it all around.

See, I've always been athletic. I suppose that's why I'm here, instead of doing a 10-20. See, I was good at track and field in high school, and I do the whole "urban exploration" thing in my free time, but I really got an interest in what the trainers were doing about junior or senior year. I'm no doctor, but I like learning about how the body works. How to take someone hurt, and make 'em better. So I'm taking classes at ESU; physical therapy, sports medicine, that sort of thing. I'm not 100% "upstanding," even now, but I'm toning it down for the sake of my old man and my grades. Gotta have a future sometime, right?

One thing I'm a little worried about where Dad's concerned is some... new developments. See, for the last two years, I've been seeing this guy. Yeah, guy. And I've been worried about how my Dad'll take it. I don't think he'll disown me or anything, but... you never know.

Of course, I've got worse things to worry about than coming out, after that attack...

What happened after the incident?
Well, obviously there's the "sticking to walls" bit. I'm stronger, and a lot fucking faster. But the really weird part is, I've got something else, too. See, I can make this dark matter... energy... stuff. Like, kinda looks like solid black hole stuff, yeah? Like solid shadows. I can make a lot with it- limbs, claws, my "webs", even parts of my costume. I basically just raided my riding gear, covered it in shadows, and made a mask out of darkness. It's awesome, right? Instant superhero, just add edge.

Super Strength- 5
Speed and Agility- 30
Spider Sense- 20
Regeneration- 5
Mutation (Umbrakinesis)- 40

Do you believe in aliens?
Uh, duh? Big universe. Logically, we can't be the only ones here.

What are your goals for the future?
Well, aside from all of the new... Spider-bullshit, I'm still not giving up on my degree, whenever they open ESU back up. But I've got a lot more to worry about with the Spider-stuff. Don't get me wrong, these powers are awesome. But they're kinda freaky, too. It's harder to ignore things going on, too, when you have a way to stop it. But what's really grinding my gears is that... well, they found that thing, right? The bomb, or device, or whatever. That means someone planned this. They did this on purpose.

And I don't think I can rest easy until I find out who.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
Fuckin' love New York. It's got its ups and downs, but there's nowhere quite like this place anywhere in the world.

How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
I use my phone, play some video games, ride my bike around, whatever. I'm 20, what did you expect?

What do you like?
-Motorcycles
-My boyfriend
-A good run
-Parkour
-Coffee

What do you dislike?
-Tight spaces
-Hospitals
-Too many rules
-Broken bones
-My dad (?)

Do you think true evil exists?
Not really. People do good things for bad reasons, or bad things for good reasons.

What’s your favorite color?
I like red a lot. Especially crimson.

Favorite song?


Anything else to add?
Not really. Uh, what was this for again?

What are your thoughts on these people?
Scott Yi/Best Buds
I've known Scott my whole life. Or near enough that it doesn't matter. We've always been friends, and hopefully always will be. At my craziest, he's the guy I can trust with anything.

Officer Michael Tanner/Complicated
My old man. Tough but... well, he's tough. Being a cop in New York will do that to you. He's not a bad person, he's never laid a hand on me, but... there's always been this gap in between me and him. And I dunno how to bridge it.

Hector Reyes/It's Serious
My boyfriend. Met him through the local urban exploration scene in my senior year. He's a journalism major. We haven't had a lot of time for each other since Recluse, given the circumstances. I hope he's doing okay...

Raymond Davis/Rivals?
I don’t know X-Ray too well. I tried running with the Skywalkers for a bit, but once they found out my dad was a cop, I was out on my ass. Ray was the only one who didn’t flat out hate me for what my dad did, but we were still pretty competitive with each other. Wonder what he’s doing now...

Strand/More than Myth
Strand's a vigilante you hear about sometimes. Most people don't think he's real, but I'm pretty sure he is. I mean, get this, the guy can supposedly run up walls. Remind you of anyone? I think he's connected to this Recluse thing. Not the perpetrator, but maybe they did to him what happened to all of us first. And if he knows more than I do, it'll pay to compare notes. I've gotta find him.
