Guild Versus the Heroes of 100!

Obadiah P. Spider

Obadiah P. Spider

Species: Nobody knows for sure. When asked, he just says he’s a spider.
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Businessman / Crime lord

Appearance
Obadiah is a humanoid arachnid, standing almost six foot tall with a lean build. His face is that of a furry spider and his hands are three-fingered claws, with one of the claws being an opposable thumb. His four upper limbs are used as his arms and his four lower limbs are paired together into two humanoid legs, Squidward style.

He always wears a neat business suit, consisting of a grey jacket and matching pants, a black bow tie, and below the jacket a white button-up shirt with black suspenders. He’s never seen without his top hat, monocle and walking stick. Despite having no lips or tongue, he speaks in a perfectly clear human voice. He has a distinctive southern US accent.

Abilities
Cane Fencing. Obadiah is a master swordfighter. He can effectively wield up to four weapons at once, one in each hand. He will unsheathe his sword canes when using lethal force, or keep them sheathed as bludgeoning weapons when trying to subdue someone nonlethally.

Spider Sense. This totally original and brand-neutral ability allows Obadiah to respond to things before he can properly perceive them. When he is attacked or otherwise threatened, he can sense a disturbance in the Ethereal Web, and respond with preternatural reflexes. This, combined with his great swordsmanship, makes him nearly untouchable by mundane attacks, able to strike arrows or even bullets out of the air, and withstand multiple attackers at once.

Jumping. Like a jumping spider, Obadiah can hop many times his own body length, up to 60 feet with a running start. He can calculate the trajectory and destination of his jump with great precision. Because of his light build and springy legs, he rarely suffers from falling damage.

Hammerspace Usage. He insists it’s spiderspace, but the effect is the same: he can pull items out of nowhere. Or rather, he pulls them out of his clothing despite having obviously no room inside his suit for all these objects. He can only summon a few select objects, however, including:
-Spiders. He can make small spiders, about 1 cm long, pour out from every nook and cranny of his clothing, hundreds of them in a matter of seconds.
- Webs. He can spray thick webs from his sleeves or pant legs to constrict things. These don’t spray very far, so need to be used in melee range. If he takes his top hat off, he can use it to fire a clot of webbing as if from a cannon, gaining much greater range and adding concussive force to the constricting effect.
- Sword canes. Sturdy oaken canes with a sword hiding inside. Screwing off the handle reveals the sword.
- Spare monocles
- Spare top hats

Spider Control. He can control spiders telepathically. When used on large groups of them, it looks a lot like water-bending, as the spiders can cling together to form amorphous shapes. Unlike water-bending, there is no telekinesis involved, so they can’t float off the ground.

History
Obadiah Phletcher Spider is a mysterious being, and the only known individual of his species. His origin is unknown, as he refuses to talk about it. As far as anyone knows, he was simply there one day, doing what he's always done. It is speculated that he came into being as physical manifestations of the mystical force known as the Ethereal Web, from which he also draws his powers.

Upon his emergence, Obadiah became a prominent businessman in both the legal and illegal sectors, using his great wit and aggressive negotiation tactics to outsmart his opposition. (His aggressive negotiation tactics usually involve beating his opposition with a cane.) He is now a force to be reckoned with in both the financial upperworld and the criminal underworld.

Can Big Martin control cat girls?

A high-powered version of Evvie would probably work, buy I imagine you wanna save her for the finale.

As an aside, if one of our chars dies, could we bring in a new one at the next wave? I think this would give us more leeway in reacting appropriately rather than keeping our chars alive at all costs because we don't want to be removed from the RP.

Sounds good. Better be a tough one cause that's gonna be a mad bum rush.

Guild versus 100 of my characters!

I can switch out if you'd rather not have 3/5 be joke characters :P Though Obadiah is honestly the least silly of the three.

When do you wanna start things up?

Fuck it, I'm using Obadiah.

History
Obadiah Phletcher Spider is a mysterious being. Him and his brother, Armstrong Spider, are the only known individuals of their species. Their origins are unknown, as they refuse to talk about it. As far as anyone knows, they were simply there one day, doing what they’ve always done. It is speculated that they came into being as physical manifestations of the mystical force known as the Ethereal Web, from which they also draw their powers.

Upon his emergence, Obadiah became a prominent businessman in both the legal and illegal sectors, using his great wit and aggressive negotiation tactics to outsmart his opposition. (His aggressive negotiation tactics usually involve beating his opposition with a cane.) He is now a force to be reckoned with in both the financial upperworld and the criminal underworld.

It is thought that his influence could be used to topple governments, but that the main reason he doesn’t do this is due to his obsessive rivalry with his brother. Obadiah will do anything to put his business empire, Spider Corp, ahead of his brother’s, Arachnid Corp. This perpetual struggle between Obadiah and Armstrong takes up massive amounts of their time and funds, thus keeping either of them from successfully taking over the universe.

I could bring in Armstrong Spider too, but they're likely to end up fighting each other. The jury's still out on whether that's a good or bad thing.

I'm in! Will have to think about my character choice for a bit. I'd go with Obadiah, but his spider control is pretty similar to Crazy Cat Guy over here.

I shall decide soon.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

Omg.... If you are already making people wait on you to post, need to be reminded constantly to post, and have gained a reputation of being ~that rper~ do NOT go and start your own Rp on top of everything! You are going to screw over the people you are rping with even more and let down the people you are going to end up Gming. Seriously, deal with what is already on your plate before you go back for seconds!

@Lady Amalthea

I imagine people who do this are like those people whose life is a total mess and who think having a baby will solve it.

I always want to write when I can't - when I'm driving, at work, in the shower, etc. As soon as I'm sitting at my laptop, I can't remember how.

@Seravee

I feel your pain. I tend to get bursts of inspiration late at night. It'll be 11:30, I'm about to go to sleep, and then a great idea pops into my mind. Either I ignore it and the steam is gone the next morning, or I spend two hours writing in the middle of the night and I'm a wreck the next morning. There's no winning.

Maybe I'm a were-author. Inspired writer by night, incompetent scrub by day.
