Tales from the Spider-Verse: Spidroin

Arthur Bishop

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

What’s your name?
Arthur Bishop

How old are you?
20

What do you look like?

normal

Suit

What did you do before the Recluse incident?
I didn't have what you would call a normal life for someone that was destined to be a hero. I grew up on what most people would call the wrong side of the tracks. Which in simple terms means I was poor, got into fights, didn't do all that great in school, or anything else that would make me look bad to the average person. The neighborhood I grew up in was also rough. We weren't the worst in the city but it was definitely not the place you wanted to be if you weren't familiar with the area. For me, though it was just life. I suppose when you live in something like that you don't really think about it.

What I lacked in school however I more than made up for in sports particularly basketball, which was the sport of choice for most of my childhood. Basketball served as the main form of entertainment for us growing up as kids. Though it was fun and to this day I still love playing, it wasn't until high school that I found my true passion in the form of hockey. Oddly enough it was the first time that my fighting and toughness actually worked out in my favor. It really served as the turning point for me and gave me the motivation to actually try. I started paying more attention in school so they would let me play and started to devote all my time to it that I could.

After Highschool, I was one of the few kids that made it out as it were. I got offered a scholarship to the local university to play on their hockey team, something that as a little kid I never would have thought would happen. But I guess life never stops throwing us for a loop and now I have some freaky, albeit cool, powers. So where my life goes from here I guess we will see.




What happened after the incident?
Super Strength: 30
Agility: 10
Durability: 20
Regeneration: 10
Spider-Sense: 10
Mutation: 20

Arthur has the ability to sprout 4 large spider-like legs out of his back that act as extra limbs. These limbs can help in a variety of tasks from fighting to maneuvering and once he is done using them will retract into his back. However, this has left a scar on his back where the legs come from.

Do you believe in aliens?
I mean I don't really think about it all that much. I mean there might be something up there or it could all be empty.

What are your goals for the future?
Well before this whole thing started my plan was to either be good enough at Hockey that I could go pro. But if that didn't work out I figured I would work in the law somehow and hopefully help people who were in the same position I was. With these new powers though I'm not sure what my plan is anymore.

You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?
I'll always have a soft spot for this city considering it's where I was born and raised, but id be lying if I said I didn't have thought of leaving. But who knows life has a funny way of working out.


How much technology do you use on a daily basis?
Well if you count headphones then nearly all day. Gotta admit I'm a sucker for music of just about any genre. Other than that it's not entirely my thing.

What do you like?
Hockey
sports
Music (mostly rock)
Working with his hands
His motorcycle

What do you dislike?
Not a fan of insects oddly enough
Hospitals
Alcohol (to an extent)
Know it all’s
Criminals
drugs

Do you think true evil exists?
To an extent, I believe there is. I think everyone sees themselves as the hero of their own stories and see us as the villains standing in their way. But some people are just too far beyond that point.

What’s your favorite color?
Blue or black

Favorite song?


Anything else to add?
You'll find out the rest in time.

What are your thoughts on these people?
(Relations. List each character by name, in their respective color, and your character’s current thoughts on them. Most characters should be aware of each other at least a little. To what extent is up to you.)

Tales from the Spider-Verse: Spidroin

hey saw this as I was scrolling through some rps to join. I was wondering if this is still open?

【 Spy High 】

Erik sat analyzing the casino image in front of him as their instructor continued to talk about the mission. It was a certainty and interesting mission, to say the least, and far more high stakes than normal. Not to mention that the risk would be far higher for those who were caught and whatever fate awaited them. The fact that this mission would be conducted in a casino did pique his interest quite a bit considering it would be under tighter surveillance than most government buildings even if they weren't the hotspot for illegal activity. More so however was the mention of the card tournament and the possibility of it being an entry point for the operation.

Once the briefing was over Erik moved with the rest of his team to the equipment area for both their news toys as well as custom-made suits for the op. Looking over the suit Erik had to admit he was very happy with the selection they had made for him. Suit A simply white shirt with a blue vest and tie to match fit his style quite well. The cards were a nice addition but didn't quite fit his style more so something for Binx but he was happy to hold a few just in case. As he gathered his things one of the small foxes hopped up onto the counter next to him giving him a yelp and a slight tilting head as if confused by what was happening. “Hello Mine friend.” he said, giving the fox a quick scratch behind the ear before moving towards the worm. “Stay out of trouble little one.” Erik offered as he vanished into the large device instantly dropping inside of a rather nice hotel room.

As the others arrived there was some talk about what everyone was going to be the plan for the night and idle chat about the mission which Erik half-listened to. “Vell Vat ever you decide keep me in ze loop.” He offered as he dropped his bag on one of the beds as he adjusted his tie. “I'm going to see what I can gather from the tables.” He finished with a wicked grin on his face as his German accent had completely vanished as if he never had it.

【 Spy High 】

Erik steadied his breath as he peered into the lens of his sniper overlooking the building. The walkway he was on was rather sketchy if he was being honest. Most of it was rusted into oblivion with holes already having been formed from the lack of use. He was probably the first person to ever step foot on this damn thing in years. Regardless he steadied his breath as he looked over the portions of the building that were visible to him. He hoped that one of his opponents would forget that he was present for the exercise and would poke their head out but alas it seemed like no one would be daring or stupid enough to try.

“Oh, fuck,”

Erik moved his head a bit at the loud sound coming through the earpiece of what he could only assume was his teammates being eliminated from the exercise. Letting out an aggravated sigh knowing this meant that it was down to him and two other teammates to finish the mission against 5. As he began repelling down from the crane arm he called over the radio “Be advised overwatch no longer in effect, moving in to assist in the defusion.” As soon as his finger left the switch that opened up the channel he spoke to himself rather irritated “Ich muss alles machen.” As he neared the building Erik slowed to a deliberate walk knowing every step could very well lead to a bomb detonating on him. “die Jagd beginnt”

As the old door to the building slowly creaked open the masked face Erik slowly peered through it with pistol drawn making sure to check the ceiling for any pesky cameras that he was sure Bug had already claimed as hers. Doing his best to keep his body low and close to the wall Erik watched for any signs of movement or sounds of commotion. By his guess, he was at least down two teammates and since the others had not responded yet he had to assume the worse. Looking up from his crouched position Erik stared straight into the lens of a camera elevated about halfway up the wall. After staring at the camera for a moment the masked form of Erik slowly lifted his pistol firing a few pellets covering the camera in paint.

Not wasting any more time than was necessary Erik continued on his route through the building doing his best to find the bombs scattered in this massive building. “Moving deeper into ze building, any contact?” Erik continued down the tight hallway awaiting a confirmation from his team that never came. “Nutzlos”. As Erik continued down the hall he could hear what sounded like talking coming from a room just ahead of him. As he drew closer to the entrance into the room he recognized the voices as both Binx and Static.

【 Spy High 】

Erik let out a sigh as he gazed at his own reflection in the mirror. Even though it was a saturday he had a habit of waking up early, something that was both a gift and a curse in his opinion. He felt fine and awake but the dark circles under his eyes gave a different story. It had been a long week since the last mission that failed in spectacular fashion. He wasn't even sure who’s fault it was that the mission had gone so south so quickly. One minute the mission had been going smoothly and the next they were in the middle of a massive fire fight in the streets and being chased across the desert. As he continued to think about the mission his gazed looked towards his left arm where he had been grazed by a stray shot. It wasn't deep or really even noticeable but it still made him mad knowing he was careless enough to let himself be hit.

“Beep, Beep, Beep”

Erik's eyes moved across his room to see a small watch that he always left on his nightstand flashing the words emergency across its small screen. That combined with the high pitch sound meant only one thing, the director was calling. Letting out one last sigh Erik ran a towel over his face before leaving the small bathroom shutting off the light in the process. “Vell zis should be interesting” he said to himself as he grabbed prom backpack and began down the stairs of his house. Reaching the door he waved in the direction of his living room offering a goodbye to his mother who was enjoying one of the ew days off she had, “Tschüss Mama liebt dich”.

As his car pulled into the dirt lot that was or used to be a parking lot Erik saw most of the other agents standing around with the director and a van as the centerpiece. Like the others Erik listened intently to the exploitation of the team based game as well as what should be the punishment for those who failed this mission. He had to admit this was rather surprising to him. Erik knew there would be some form of consequence for messing up the mission but a game was not what he had in mind. That was until he saw Ben get knocked to the floor but a single shot from one of the “paintball” guns. This immediately made him look to his own weapon that he had selected. It was a basic long range rifle, perfectly suited to his style of combat, that obviously was going to hit hard if the pistol was any preview. Of course the other agents also seemed to have their own form of preferred weapon meaning everyone would be at the best, or as close as you could get in a simulation.

The teams that were described to him however were interesting to say the least. As soon as the list had been given Eriks mind was already racing with ideas as to how they were going to pull this off with the lesser team in terms of pure combative skills. Looking over the enemy team he began analyzing them forming plans and weaknesses in his head. Aster was probably the strongest one in this mission but was reckless at times. Bug wouldn't be much of a threat in combat but he figured she was already connected to any form of camera in the building that was still semi operational. Nightstalker would be tricky, the building would give her cover to sneak around and pick off his team mates if they weren't careful. And finally Binx, she was probably the one that concerned him the most. That warhorse was going to be littered with traps and explosives by the time the others got in there to look for the actual bombs. And unfortunately for him she knew more than anyone present not to stay in a place where his scope could see.

Hopefully though he and Static were right in thinking the others would be too busy bickering to actually work together as a team. Looking over the building Eriks' eyes settled on an old crain resting just outside the building. “The plan works for me, I'll be your eyes from up Zere.” he said pointing at the outstretched arm of the crane. “Take it slow vould you, no senses in rushing zese zings.” as he finished his statement Erik began to walk towards what was going to be his home for the next hour or so. “And try no to let zat happen again vould you.” He called over his shoulder towards his two teammates who had already been shot by their instructor.

Erik is rather unimpressive when only using physical appearances to judge him. He's around average height, boarding on tall depending on who is asked and has neither a muscular build nor a tiny frame just somewhere in the middle. He keeps his hair at a respectable length allowing it to ever so slightly creep past his ears. In recent years he has started to let his facial hair grow out just enough to barely cover his face. His eyes are a light brown that seem as though they hold a kind of softness and caring that is drastic from his chosen specialty in the field.

Erik has a bit of a dual personality which the Prom program has been unable to identify the reason for. On a normal day, Erik while definitely not outgoing by any means is a light-hearted kid who can find the joys of most things. He can be described as somewhat goofy if anything when around those he trusts. Outside of close friends, however, Erik is more reserved. While still, an easy-going individual Erik will prefer to keep to himself rather than draw attention to himself. Erik can easily be identified as the intelligent quiet type that is more than happy to stay to himself is needed and does not need attention like many of his peers.

This changes drastically however whenever a mission is in place or Erik is introduced to a high-stress environment. When this occurs a switch of sorts is flipped within him completely changing him. Erik leans more into the cold calculating portion of his nature quickly becoming a perfect agent as it were. During these times Erik appears to drop all reservations that would stop most individuals from carrying out certain tasks for the sake of a mission. This could also be seen as Eric becoming a devout believer in the ends justifying the means.

Erik was born in the large city of Munich located close to the southern border of Germany. His mother Annabeth was a member of the GSG9 and served as one of its snipers for most of her early days. His father however is a mystery to Erik. According to his mother his father left before he was born leaving her with the sole responsibility of caring for him while maintaining her stressful career.

Through his early childhood, Erik did show some signs that would alarm some parents. Mostly in the fact that unlike most of his peers his age Erik took quite a while to under his first words and preferred to keep to himself rather than play with the other children. While some parents would be concerned with this development from their child Annabeth was far too busy to give full care to Erik, coupled with the fact that he appeared to be fully together mentally made it seemed as though he was just shy. Indeed even his teachers as a child said he was leagues ahead of the other students at least when it came to reading and math.

By the age of 7, Erik was largely able to care for himself while being left alone himself when his mother had missions to do. Most kids would have freaked at even the idea of benign alone for even a few minutes but Erik seemed unfazed by it. In fact, Erik seemed to do just fine with being alone, simply reading or playing chess, a game he had discovered in one of his many times alone in the house. He had found a great affinity with the game and became fascinated by it. Every piece had a purpose, there was no luck, each player was on equal footing, and every move counted.

By the time Erik had turned 9, he had completely eclipsed just about everything his school had to offer and was quickly moved to a private school deeper in the heart of Munich. Here Erik was challenged greatly but he proved to be more up to the task. This kind of environment proved to be great for an individual such as Erik. The school was rigorous and was focused on breeding only the greatest minds for the future of Germany. This however was when Erik showed even further signs of being distant from others in his fellow peers. He spent more time locked in his room reading or studying than he did outside of it. Here Erik found a love for specifically History and psychology, with a sprinkling of philosophy much to his teachers' joy. Even with this newfound love of academics, beyond his own natural intelligence, and great marks from his teachers there was still something off about the young boy. Something that came out whenever he competed in something. Whether it be Chess or Football, Erik seemed to have a competitive side like no other. But that still wasn't the best way to describe it. A small glimpse at the kind of agent he would become Erik showed an almost joy in winning, but not just in winning but in completely destroying his opponents. As far as Erik was concerned if his opponents had not wanted to be beaten so badly they should have worked as hard as he had in preparation.

By the time Erik had turned 13, he began to notice something very strange occurring around him. Regardless of whether it was a large tournament or simply walking home to school, Erik began to notice a difference in the crowd around him. This all culminated the day Erik had been named the youngest chess Champion his school had produced since its beginning. To most Erik seemed his usual self however a trained eye could see that he was keeping his eyes on a particular person in the crowd. A person he had seen a great deal of in the past few years. Whoever this mystery man was he had been following Erik for some unknown reason. Just as the game finished Erik moved his eyes for a split second to acknowledge his opponent but when they returned the man was already gone. The very next day his mother had been offered an unusually high paying job working as a consultant for a local police unit in the United States.

Grading

Strength: c-
Erik by normal standards is rather strong but when compared to his fellow agents or those in his line of work he is woefully inadequate in terms of brute strength leading him to utilize his speed rather than anything.

Intelligence: A.

Close-Quarters Combat: B-
While Erik Lacks the physical strength to give him a clear advantage in fights, he makes up for this with his use of speed and knowledge of the human body. This combined with his quick thinking in stressful situations makes him a dangerous adversary.

Firearms: A+
While his close-quarters combat is nothing to write home about Erik has made up for this with his expertise in Firearms. Preferring to use long-distance rifles when it can be helped, Erik however has shown a liking to pistols when he moves with the team.

Concealment and Disguise: B
Erik's rather unimpressive physical build does come with the advantage of being able to appear as a simple member of the crowd. When not in a busy area Erik’s close attention to detail also comes with a great ability to use camouflage

Strategic Thinking/Leadership: B+
While not the most vocal person Erik is a great strategist. While his leadership skills suffer as a result of his usual quietness he makes up for this with his ability to plan ahead.

Mental Agility/Intuition: B+
Erik has shown quite the ability to remain calm when under pressure. While he prefers there to be a well made plan he also understands no plan works without being changed as soon as the game starts.

Hacking/Computer Operation: D
For all his ability and intellect Erik has little to no ability when it comes to hacking or computers outside the basics of field necessities.

Observation/Interrogation: A+
The reason Erik was recruited to the Prom program to begin with. Ever since a young age, Erik has shown an aptitude for observing people and objects and picking up on the slightest differences or things that are out of place. This combined with his knowledge of psychology and human anatomy has led him to be a dangerous enemy in an interrogation scenario.

Linguistics: B+
Being born in Germany and moving to America has given Erik the chance to be fluent in both German and English from a young age. However, Erik has also shown an affinity for speaking Russian. While it is not quite up to native speaking standards to the trained ear it certainly can pass. Erik has also begun the process of learning other languages he says would help with Questioning.

Teamwork/Cooperation: B+
Erik is great at working in teams and rarely butts heads with the designated team lead on missions. However, it is recommended to not give him orders when interrogating a high-value target.

He keeps his hair at a respectable length allowing it to ever so slightly creep past his ears. In recent years he has started to let his facial hair grow out just enough to barely cover his face. His eyes are a light brown that seem as though they hold a kind of softness and caring that is drastic from his chosen specialty in the field.

Erik has a bit of a dual personality which the Prom program has been unable to identify the reason for. On a normal day, Erik while definitely not outgoing by any means is a light-hearted kid who can find the joys of most things. He can be described as somewhat goofy if anything when around those he trusts. Outside of close friends, however, Erik is more reserved. While still, an easy-going individual Erik will prefer to keep to himself rather than draw attention to himself. Erik can easily be identified as the intelligent quiet type that is more than happy to stay to himself is needed and does not need attention like many of his peers.

This changes drastically however whenever a mission is in place or Erik is introduced to a high-stress environment. When this occurs a switch of sorts is flipped within him completely changing him. Erik leans more into the cold calculating portion of his nature quickly becoming a perfect agent as it were. During these times Erik appears to drop all reservations that would stop most individuals from carrying out certain tasks for the sake of a mission. This could also be seen as Eric becoming a devout believer in the ends justifying the means.

Erik was born in the large city of Munich located close to the southern border of Germany. His mother Annabeth was a member of the GSG9 and served as one of its snipers for most of her early days. His father however is a mystery to Erik. According to his mother his father left before he was born leaving her with the sole responsibility of caring for him while maintaining her stressful career.

Through his early childhood, Erik did show some signs that would alarm some parents. Mostly in the fact that unlike most of his peers his age Erik took quite a while to under his first words and preferred to keep to himself rather than play with the other children. While some parents would be concerned with this development from their child Annabeth was far too busy to give full care to Erik, coupled with the fact that he appeared to be fully together mentally made it seemed as though he was just shy. Indeed even his teachers as a child said he was leagues ahead of the other students at least when it came to reading and math.

By the age of 7, Erik was largely able to care for himself while being left alone himself when his mother had missions to do. Most kids would have freaked at even the idea of benign alone for even a few minutes but Erik seemed unfazed by it. In fact, Erik seemed to do just fine with being alone, simply reading or playing chess, a game he had discovered in one of his many times alone in the house. He had found a great affinity with the game and became fascinated by it. Every piece had a purpose, there was no luck, each player was on equal footing, and every move counted.

By the time Erik had turned 9, he had completely eclipsed just about everything his school had to offer and was quickly moved to a private school deeper in the heart of Munich. Here Erik was challenged greatly but he proved to be more up to the task. This kind of environment proved to be great for an individual such as Erik. The school was rigorous and was focused on breeding only the greatest minds for the future of Germany. This however was when Erik showed even further signs of being distant from others in his fellow peers. He spent more time locked in his room reading or studying than he did outside of it. Here Erik found a love for specifically History and psychology, with a sprinkling of philosophy much to his teachers' joy. Even with this newfound love of academics, beyond his own natural intelligence, and great marks from his teachers there was still something off about the young boy. Something that came out whenever he competed in something. Whether it be Chess or Football, Erik seemed to have a competitive side like no other. But that still wasn't the best way to describe it. A small glimpse at the kind of agent he would become Erik showed an almost joy in winning, but not just in winning but in completely destroying his opponents. As far as Erik was concerned if his opponents had not wanted to be beaten so badly they should have worked as hard as he had in preparation.

By the time Erik had turned 13, he began to notice something very strange occurring around him. Regardless of whether it was a large tournament or simply walking home to school, Erik began to notice a difference in the crowd around him. This all culminated the day Erik had been named the youngest chess Champion his school had produced since its beginning. To most Erik seemed his usual self however a trained eye could see that he was keeping his eyes on a particular person in the crowd. A person he had seen a great deal of in the past few years. Whoever this mystery man was he had been following Erik for some unknown reason. Just as the game finished Erik moved his eyes for a split second to acknowledge his opponent but when they returned the man was already gone. The very next day his mother had been offered an unusually high paying job working as a consultant for a local police unit in the United States.

Grading

Strength: c-
Erik by normal standards is rather strong but when compared to his fellow agents or those in his line of work he is woefully inadequate in terms of brute strength leading him to utilize his speed rather than anything.

Intelligence: A.

Close-Quarters Combat: B-
While Erik Lacks the physical strength to give him a clear advantage in fights, he makes up for this with his use of speed and knowledge of the human body. This combined with his quick thinking in stressful situations makes him a dangerous adversary.

Firearms: A+
While his close-quarters combat is nothing to write home about Erik has made up for this with his expertise in Firearms. Preferring to use long-distance rifles when it can be helped, Erik however has shown a liking to pistols when he moves with the team.

Concealment and Disguise: B
Erik's rather unimpressive physical build does come with the advantage of being able to appear as a simple member of the crowd. When not in a busy area Erik’s close attention to detail also comes with a great ability to use camouflage

Strategic Thinking/Leadership: B+
While not the most vocal person Erik is a great strategist. While his leadership skills suffer as a result of his usual quietness he makes up for this with his ability to plan ahead.

Mental Agility/Intuition: B+
Erik has shown quite the ability to remain calm when under pressure. While he prefers there to be a well made plan he also understands no plan works without being changed as soon as the game starts.

Hacking/Computer Operation: D
For all his ability and intellect Erik has little to no ability when it comes to hacking or computers outside the basics of field necessities.

Observation/Interrogation: A+
The reason Erik was recruited to the Prom program to begin with. Ever since a young age, Erik has shown an aptitude for observing people and objects and picking up on the slightest differences or things that are out of place. This combined with his knowledge of psychology and human anatomy has led him to be a dangerous enemy in an interrogation scenario.

Linguistics: B+
Being born in Germany and moving to America has given Erik the chance to be fluent in both German and English from a young age. However, Erik has also shown an affinity for speaking Russian. While it is not quite up to native speaking standards to the trained ear it certainly can pass. Erik has also begun the process of learning other languages he says would help with Questioning.

Teamwork/Cooperation: B+
Erik is great at working in teams and rarely butts heads with the designated team lead on missions. However, it is recommended to not give him orders when interrogating a high-value target.
