Name: Peter Parker
Canon: The Amazing Spider-Man
Canon point: End of TASM2
Age: 18
History:
❝ Your father believed that if you could do good things for other people, you had a moral obligation to do those things! That's what's at stake here; not choice...responsibility. ❞
Personality:
+ SELFLESS. Peter is entirely willing to put others above himself. That can be bodily — like taking hits or worse because he can heal faster than an average human. He sustains plenty of injuries during his super-heroics, and prefers that to the idea of a civilian getting hurt. This consideration for the safety of others is not contingent on liking someone, Peter will go out of his way for absolute strangers and even farther for people he cares about. His selflessness comes out most clearly as Spider-Man, though it can come out as Peter Parker too. He'll agree to help out with tasks if asked, can be guilted easily, and struggles with saying no, even if he should. A good and a bad thing, maybe, though overall Peter is a helpful guy willing to do what he can for others.
+ STRONG MORAL CODE. Thanks to the aunt and uncle that raised him (and the father he barely remembers, who sorta maybe kinda abandoned his son for his principles), Peter has an extremely strong sense of right and wrong. While there's some flexibility in that — such as, fighting crime as a vigilante after warrants were put out for his arrest — in general, Peter has a firm understanding of what he believes in. Peter does not kill, even though he has the power to do so. He never uses more force than he needs to. He subdues nonlethally and often with his webshooters over knocking people out. He dislikes things like deception, theft, and cruelty, pretty much any abuse of power that hurts people that can't fight back against it. Occasionally Peter will bend on his stringent moral code. However, often that blows up in his face and pushes him back on the straight and narrow. See, his uncle dying to the mugger that Peter did not try to stop when he had the chance. He has yet to let himself live that one down.
+ CURIOSITY. It's a good thing there isn't any sayings about spiders and curiosity. Because if there were, Peter would be doomed. He has a terrible knack for getting fixated on something and obsessively exploring it. No matter the dangers, or how many people he trusts have tried to guide him away from it. A great example was when he was looking into his father's research and ended up with superpowers. Another is... when he was researching his father's disappearance and found his secret lab in an abandoned subway station, despite his poor auntie pushed to tears for it. Peter is full of curiosity, scientific and otherwise, and when he gets engaged and excited about a subject, he will devote exhaustive amounts of time to it. That can be a bad thing as well as a good thing, depending on what he's fixating on. Overall, though, it helps him to learn new things and be adaptive, to stay open to discovery.
- GUILTY. Peter has a guilty conscience a mile wide. And while it's not a bad thing, to feel remorse when you've done something wrong, Peter takes it to an entirely different level. He never feels he's done enough, especially when things go wrong. He will assign blame and guilt when it only barely makes sense, like considering himself responsible for Uncle Ben's death for simply not stopping a mugger when he had the chance. Peter believes his position as someone superpowered, combined with the heights of his responsibility, weights his decisions more than the average person. To some extent, he's right; the choices Spider-Man makes can be more important, and can cause a lot more harm than the choices of an average person that can't lift a city bus. However, he takes on guilt like a leaking boat takes on water, to an unhealthy degree. He doesn't forgive himself and constantly doubts whether he's doing the right thing.
- SECRETIVE. While Peter doesn't enjoy lying, he is secretive about certain things in his life. His powers first and foremost. He avoids telling people the truth of what he is and what he can do. Gwen is the only person he has ever told intentionally. Everyone else in his life is kept in the dark, with the intention of protecting them, or found out on accident (and died shortly after. Coincidence? Peter sure doesn't think so). However, Peter's secrecy results in Harry spiraling because he thinks Peter does not care about him, as well as causing Aunt May nights of panic and distress when he comes home beat to hell and refuses to explain why. His secrets hurt people as much as they protect them. However, Peter is even more resolved to keep them after Gwen was killed because of her connection to him.
- LONE WOLF. As the only super in his city that isn't financed by Oscorp or mildly evil (sometimes both!!!), Peter is used to working on his lonesome. He has little experience with working with others, and even then he is known to sideline that person if he is concerned for their safety. See, throwing Gwen out a window, or webbing her to the front of a car. While he was able to learn to be more open and collaborative with her, he immediately regressed after that openness resulted in her death. Peter will deliberately ignore requests and commands, and the will of others, if he thinks they are in danger. Especially if he thinks he can do something to protect them, whether they like it or not.
Powers/Abilities:
MUTATED GENES. Thanks to a radioactive spider-bite, Peter's genetics have been given some unusual properties. He heals faster, takes more hits, and is less prone to reacting to damage than a baseline human. His blood contains these mutated genes and because of this even on a molecular level he heals faster than other humans. Because his mutation is obvious and present in his blood, he is reluctant to give blood or samples that could give his mutation away.
SPIDER SENSES. More or less precognitive, his spider sense warns him about incoming threats and allows him to react incredibly quickly. His reflexes are heightened to match his senses, and he's able to avoid blows he doesn't even see coming because of the combination. That said, he does not have the utmost control over his reactions, either, though his control is greater now than it was when he initially got his powers. Peter's eyesight, hearing, and balance are also enhanced. He can hear things blocks away and things near him more clearly, and he can see things at great distances and no longer needs corrective lenses.
SUPER STRENGTH. Wouldn't be a marvel without it. Peter can lift far more than an average human, able to catch and lift buses full of people and stop trains. He can often break things if he's not being careful. He is also kept incredibly fit and muscular due to his enhanced strength, along with extreme flexibility.
STICKY FINGERS. Sticky everything, really, thanks to some small hairs all over him after his mutation. It allows him to be able to crawl around walls and ceilings like a ... well, you can maybe guess.
Regret: There's quite a few, truth be told. While what happened to Gwen is a major regret, Peter hopes that if he can change the night Uncle Ben died, what happened to Gwen will also be reversed.
Inventory:
— A Camera (Yashica Electro 35 GSN, specifically), with a strap and some film
— Street clothes and his stupid dirty converse
— his father's glasses
— a Sony cellphone, bless his heart
— A skateboard
— Webshooters
— Spider-Suit, with spare webbing
— Backpack
Sample: Here he is on the TDM!
