Peter

"ohGod ohGod ohGod ohGod"
Introduction xxxxxUncle Ben isn't dead. Peter's parents got divorce--not killed. And if you even *mention* radioactive spider bites, all you're going to get is a funny look followed by 'RADIATION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY'. xxxxxCurrently a student at Xavier's; moonlights as a costumed superhero who saves people from fires. History xxxxx When Peter was six, his parents got a divorce. As part of the proceedings, they entrusted him to Aunt May and Uncle Ben (the latter being his father's brother) temporarily, until the process could be concluded. That was 9 years ago. His parents haven't bothered with him since. xxxxxSince then, he's lived in New York City--working during the day as a city courier and using his powers (which he's kept secret) during the night to perform amazing feats of acrobatics--recording them in secret and posting them online. He does this while wearing a red hoodie, ski-mask, and buggy, yellow-tinted goggles. Online, he's gained a bit of a following as the 'New York Spider'. xxxxxRecently, he broke into an Oscorp lab in a stupid attempt to do someone a favor and ended up getting chased by 'murder-drones' (MAVs), leading up to police involvement. Now wanted by the FBI in relation to questions concerning domestic terrorism (the MAVs exploded), Peter's gone 'underground'--recently enrolling in Xavier Academy at the prompting of others and putting the costume away (for now). Powers xxxxxPeter Parker has heightened strength, endurance, and hyper-awareness. xxxxxThe strength and endurance is roughly above that of a well-built man twice his size. He couldn't throw a car, but he could probably manage to lob a motorcycle. His strength is the source of his speed--he can (and does) leap incredible distances and move so fast he sometimes becomes a blur. His muscle mass also affords him a certain resilience to harm--he's a *lot* tougher than he looks, and can take a lot of punishment. But a bullet will still do to him what it would do to anyone else. xxxxxThe latter is a bit more complex; Peter has ADHD on steroids. His brain runs a mile a minute--which leaves him constantly starved for more input. He's twitchy as heck and his personality is best described as 'spastic'. The upside is that he's an effortless multi-tasker, intuitively brilliant, possesses an extraordinary sense of proprioception, and has a constant 'vibe' for what's going on around him (basically, 'spider-sense'). He can extend this awareness farther when he concentrates--letting him 'pick up' hot spots around the city (places where violence is happening--or is about to happen). It also confers near-perfect muscle-memory and motor skills--Peter can learn in minutes what acrobats and stage-magicians require years to master. xxxxxIronically, the more stimulation Peter receives, the less 'twitchy' he becomes--because his brain actually has something to do with all its processing power. This means that in intense situations--such as combat--he becomes level-headed and calm; in safe situations, he becomes nervous and easily frightened. Connections Probably Superheroes! Rasa - OHGODPLEASEDON'TBEDEAD Lucien - Has really cool siblings. Might actually be a super-villain. Ivan - Roommate at Xavier's! Controls bugs! Does that mean he can control... the SPIDER?! Melinda - Sound advice concerning the inherent danger of bullets! Also, she sounds like she might be some sort of medic. Definite superhero potential! Micah - HE IS TO PETER AS LUCIUS FOX IS TO BATMAN. Also, MIGHT be a cyborg. Spencer - He builds a pretty mean TARDIS fort, which is pretty superheroic. Also, pretty much the first person Peter met who can out-hyper him. Doug - He called his online antics 'stupid' but Peter forgives him because he's hax0ring his phone. Also who the hell puts EGGPLANT on their pizza? Shelby - She gave back his phone, and also can make her tattoos move all pretty like--clearly superhero material. Eric - Cop! Being a cop is like being a superhero, right? Seems like a nice person! Peter is *so* going to make up running off on him. Tag - ohmygod he does graffiti too! Except much better than Peter's! And he said Peter was awesome! And he says he's not a superhero but PETER SUSPECTS HE MIGHT BE ONE ANYWAY. Shane - OHMYGODWHYDOYOUHAVESOMANYSHARPTEETH Sebastian - OHGODTHERESTWOOFYOU Jackson - Bright! Shiny! Plus, he saved the mayor! The closest thing to an actual superhero Peter's met so far! Alison - He doesn't think she has any powers, but she's kind of a journalist? That's a kind of superhero, right? Also, she was in a lot of movies Peter watches with Uncle Ben (for TERRIBAD movie night). Interested in the Spiderman! Tatters - Totally a superhero. Also, entry in the Monstrous Manual. Hive - WARNING: DO NOT THINK ABOUT NAKED PEOPLE AROUND THIS PERSON. He *will* know. Also, probably a superhero. Did Peter a solid by not ruining his internet fame! Uncle Ben - Peter and Uncle Ben have a hard time relating (Uncle Ben is a pretty blue-collar, salt-of-the-earth type, and Peter is basically *ultranerd*), and they often get into verbal tussles--but Peter secretly looks up to him more than anyone else in the world. Probably Not! Jonah Jameson - Editor/owner of the Daily Bugle. Published articles about the Spider being a 'menace' and encouraging juvenile deliquency. STUPID JERKFACE WITH HITLER-STACHE. And everything in between Richard Parker - Peter's estranged father. Works in the city. Doesn't really seem to care much about his son. Peter's not sure how to parse him.

This probably will haunt him, later. He also hasn't completely given up being the Spider just yet. Daddy Issues - Peter hasn't spoken to his father in a very long time--and the more he learns, the more he realizes that he might be a really bad guy. Science Whiz - Peter's intelligence is often underestimated. When he applies it, he can figure things out very quickly.
