Characters currently in-game: Barry Allen
Triggers/Fears/Squicks: unopt-outable rape/dubcon plots
RNG Housing Preference (Select One): Roommates
Character Motivation: Peter is thirty seven, newly divorced, rundown by constant heroics and frankly depressed. He still wants to do good, but he's begun to lack motivation as to how. Zenith answers that quite neatly, and though sex isn't his first choice to save the universe, he hardly minds.
VOLUNTEER PROFILE
Name: Peter B. Parker
Age: 37
Physical Appearance: Pic
Point in Timeline: Peter arrives from the end of Into the Spider-Verse, after leaping into the portal that would lead to his home universe, he opts to go to Zhautus instead.
World Description: Wiki link
Player note: Peter B. Parker is pulled into an alternate Earth in this film. Despite being the outsider, Peter B is confirmed by the film's creators to be Spider-Man Prime, aka the one we know from popular media. All the main life events associated with Spider-Man (bitten by a radioactive spider, in love with MJ, webslinging his way through New York) have happened to this one, but since this film is the first iteration of its particular animated canon, there's unfortunately no comprehensive wiki for the animated canon. This Peter is 22 years older, but he's the Spider-Man from the animated main Earth-616 universe. His knowledge and experiences (awareness of the Avengers, the X-Men, etc) are the same as comic book Spider-Man prime.
History/Background: Wiki link
Player note: Again this is fairly minimal, but describes the ways that Peter's life has gone awry since his teenage hero days. He is divorced, all his parental figures are gone, his business ventures have failed, and his youthful optimism is long gone. He never quite figured out how to balance his personal and heroic life and thusly failed at both. He's an older, jaded Spider-Man on the brink of giving up.
Noteworthy Positive Characteristics:
Selfless: This trait has been tested in recent years, but at his core, Peter still wants to help people. He was only sixteen when he got his powers, but rather than use them for his own gain or teen mischief, he immediately conceived of a way to use them to help and protect his city. In later years, he divorced his wife because she wanted children, and Peter knew he wouldn't be able to both protect the city and give his growing family the attention and protection they deserved. When he arrived in an alternate universe, he was downtrodden and only wanted to go home, but ultimately decided to stay and help the people of this alternate reality, even if it resulted in his death. He's made many hard choices, but Peter's motivation is forever to make the choice that will help the most people.
Brilliance: Peter has squandered it mightily in the last decade, but he possesses genius level intellect. For a while he used this mostly for scientific pursuits, inventing and engineering tools for himself as Spider-Man, but for humanity as well. His cleverness also manifests as innovation. He has won many fights either by talking his way out of them, or distracting the villain long enough to get the upper hand. He is hyper aware of his his surroundings and uses them to fight. In the last few years he's become too depressed to accomplish much of note, but trapped beneath that emotional paralysis is a sharp mind that still yearns for knowledge and discovery.
Charisma: Peter is extremely charming when he wants to be. He's naturally friendly and interested in the people around him, and though he's largely shut himself in at present, he can whip out a perfectly tailored quip as easy as breathing. Peter never wanted to arrive in an alternate universe, and he definitely didn't want to help the teenaged, newly minted Spider-Man who found him there, but Peter responded to the fresh faced hope in Miles Morales almost at once, slipping at times into the happy, fun-loving Peter of old despite the perils of their mission.
Optimism: Once again, this is an extremely difficult trait to unearth in Peter right now, but it's still there at his core. After all that he's been through - so many deaths of the people he loves that he failed to prevent, his failure to give Mary Jane the marriage that she deserved - he still thinks humanity is worth saving, whatever the grueling cost to his own happiness. He believes that the world is ultimately more good than bad, and people are too, and at the end of the day, what is right will always prevail. He always chooses kindness first - unless you just kidnapped him to an alternate universe where he's expected to Go Out and Do Things that aren't crying while eating pizza in the shower.
Noteworthy Negative Characteristics:
Defeatism: In direct contrast to his natural optimism, Peter is extremely depressed and is living through a dark time in his life. When he was Spider-Man at the height of his powers, young, hopeful, and in love, Peter felt invincible. This confidence led him to make poor investments, poor decisions, and ultimately began to strain his marriage. Then his beloved Aunt died. Soon after, his wife expressed a desire for children, but rather than hope, Peter felt only dread. He didn't think he could protect her or any children, and he allowed that fear to ruin his marriage. He moved into a cluttered studio apartment and, while he still works to protect his city, has let body his health and his happiness go.
Stubbornness: Peter might have made some terrible decisions of late, but it's done nothing to deter his natural stubborn streak. When he sets his mind to something, he does it, no matter what superhero or villain is telling him not to. That trait only increased when his depression took hold. In canon, when he learns that in order for the other Spider-People stranded in the wrong universe to go home, one of them has to stay behind to ensure the machine works and thusly will die, he insists that it will be him. The other Spiders still have the best parts of their lives ahead of them. Peter doesn't think there's much happiness left out there for him, but dying a hero is one of the last good things he can do, and he's clinging to it.
Serial Deflection: Peter grew up bullied. He was orphaned at an early age, slight, and dorky, making him a target at school. He got through his youth with humor, and the need to joke about everything good or bad followed him into his career as Spider-Man. He has a quip for everything, but he's so good at pretending he doesn't feel bad, it can be hard to see the real Peter underneath. This is less true of late as he has visibly not been taking care of himself - he's unshaven, thick around the middle, and doesn't much care what he wears when he's not in the suit - but Peter will still do his best to joke everything away.
Guilt-ridden: Peter's heroism is guided by two things - true selflessness, and guilt. His childhood love died because of his actions as Spider-Man. His Uncle Ben was murdered by a criminal that Peter chose not to stop before it was too late. He tries to do good not only because he feels it's right, but also because he knows the cost of not trying. Losing Mary Jane due to his own fear has only increased that guilt, to the point that Peter feels like life itself is crushing him.
Powers/Abilities:
Described to greater length here, here is the tl;dr:
- Wall-crawling - the ability to climb walls and suspend himself from ceilings, etc
- Enhanced strength - Peter can lift several tons
- Enhanced stamina - his musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human
- Enhanced durability - Peter's body is stronger and tougher than a normal human's, particularly when it comes to enduring impact injuries
- Enhanced agility - Peter is extraordinarily limber, coordinated, and agile - his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being
- Enhanced healing factor - Peter's body repairs itself much faster than the average humans. It's not instantaneous, but still extraordinary
- Spider-sense - Peter has an extrasensory alertness which warns him of potential immediate danger via tingling in the back of his skull
Suggested nerfs: reducing his strength so that he can lift several hundred pounds rather than tons. His crippling depression is already a powerful nerf, but whatever you guys feel is appropriate and/or however you nerfed MCU Peter, as they are the same (though Peter B's powers are more developed via decades of use).
Character Fears: Isolation, failing the people he cares about and/or who rely on him.
Personal Item: His Spider-Man suit, taken from the fallen Spider-Man of Miles' world
