Insert Awesome Intro Post Here! Tragic Backstory Time!
//Basic tw ahead of time: blanket unreality warning because this is an rp blog for my Spiderverse OC, along with warnings for text based body horror, in moderate amounts, emotional manipulation, loss of control, blood drinking, and other dark topics. I will do my best to tag all posts accordingly//
//Note: I and my OC are both adults//
//small style note, while Dante's eyes are green his text will be white as he is the main character for this page, and green will be another character//
S'up nerds? My name is Dante Dark, aka the Terrifying Arachno-Glitch! I am the current spider-person of Earth-1331, successor of Peter Parker (rip). I was very briefly a member of the Spider Society, and by that I mean they scouted me and then ran off as soon as they learned anything about me (I tend to have that effect on people).
I am of questionable age, as I was grown in a lab and chemically aged up, but I am generally an adult, physically in my early thirties (we think).
Okay, let me explain the tragic backstory. I was grown in one of Mayor Norman Osborn's underground labs by Dr. Otto Octavius. I was made with a combination of DNA from the Spider-Man and Dr. Octavius himself, and grown to be the ultimate weapon and take down the spider. Once I was fully grown, I was ripped open and the scientists replaced most of my internal organs and bones with cybernetics, making me a cyborg (yes, it was incredibly painful and traumatic, thanks for asking).
Peter was the one who saved me from being used as a weapon. He had broken into the lab and found me. He knew what they were going to use me for, but all he saw then was a fragile seventeen year old kid, scarred and broken. Barely human. Peter saved me and took me in as his own.
He and Mary Jane were good parents to me. They taught me what it really meant to be human, to be loved. They put up with all of my strange quirks and needs, the worst of all being my need for human blood.
You see, I am not exactly a stable clone, and my body is constantly trying to kill itself. It is very painful. To keep me from completely falling apart, I have to regularly consume human blood. Peter was able to synthesize a substitute for me, he was smart like that.
It all fell apart when MJ died. She had been working on an exposure piece on Mayor Osborn, and she just disappeared. Peter and I had warned her, but MJ put her story first as always. They found her body floating in the river a few days later.
Peter just broke after that. Everything he taught me about being a hero just disappeared. His body wound up in the river not long after.
I tried to be the hero he would have wanted me to be, but without the synthetic blood, I was falling apart. Desperate, I ended up working for someone who could provide me with what I needed. Walter Hardy. Well-known crime boss. I became his personal attack dog, until his daughter Felicia decided I was interesting and wanted me as entertainment for her nightclub.
What I didn't know at the time though was that Felicia had greater plans. She wanted to take over her father's empire, and she knew she couldn't do that if I was on his side. Felicia was the first person since Peter and MJ that I truly think cared about me.
Together we took out Walter and put Felicia in charge of his criminal empire. She immediately turned it around, turning it into an underground resistance force against Mayor Osborn. I became her right hand (and occasional attack dog). Now the blood I need come exclusively from people who can deserve to lose a few pints.
Alright, tragic backstory over! Now to the present. I am currently married to Felicia, I have yet to kill Osborn or Octavius but I'm working on it, Peter and MJ have been dead for 11 years, and I am banned from the interdimensional Spider Society because they think I'm scary and "not a true Spider", so I'm not allowed to travel the multiverse (this has not stopped me, I regularly break into their HQ with the watch Hobie gave me).
Oh, another important note. Because my brain is partly made of computer parts, I have a couple of rogue AI banging around in there. I think they were supposed to be part of some obedience protocol, but they glitched out and developed personalities of their own years ago and now they don't shut up.
I called them Angel
Hello
And Devil
S'up
I call them that for reasons that you will eventually learn. They occasionally decide to take over my body, so they'll probably post on here too. Angel came up with a system though so you'll always know who's talking. Normal text is me, green is Angel, and red is Devil.
//Any text in double slashes like this is ooc and is me speaking as myself, you can call me Ghost if you want to speak to me directly for any reason//
//Also note that any text in brackets [like this] is effectively narration. It is said outside of character and functions as a glimpse at the world around Dante from a less biased perspective//
//any text in purple italics is Dante's comms unit//
