[hider=Obadiah P. Spider]
[h2]Obadiah P. Spider[/h2]
Species: Nobody knows for sure. When asked, he just says he’s a spider.
Age: Unknown
Occupation: Businessman / Crime lord

[b]Appearance[/b]
Obadiah is a humanoid arachnid, standing almost six foot tall with a lean build. His face is that of a furry spider and his hands are three-fingered claws, with one of the claws being an opposable thumb. His four upper limbs are used as his arms and his four lower limbs are paired together into two humanoid legs, Squidward style.

He always wears a neat business suit, consisting of a grey jacket and matching pants, a black bow tie, and below the jacket a white button-up shirt with black suspenders. He’s never seen without his top hat, monocle and walking stick. Despite having no lips or tongue, he speaks in a perfectly clear human voice. He has a distinctive southern US accent.

[b]Abilities[/b]
Cane Fencing. Obadiah is a master swordfighter. He can effectively wield up to four weapons at once, one in each hand. He will unsheathe his sword canes when using lethal force, or keep them sheathed as bludgeoning weapons when trying to subdue someone nonlethally.

Spider Sense. This totally original and brand-neutral ability allows Obadiah to respond to things before he can properly perceive them. When he is attacked or otherwise threatened, he can sense a disturbance in the Ethereal Web, and respond with preternatural reflexes. This, combined with his great swordsmanship, makes him nearly untouchable by mundane attacks, able to strike arrows or even bullets out of the air, and withstand multiple attackers at once.

Jumping. Like a jumping spider, Obadiah can hop many times his own body length, up to 60 feet with a running start. He can calculate the trajectory and destination of his jump with great precision. Because of his light build and springy legs, he rarely suffers from falling damage.

Hammerspace Usage. He insists it’s spiderspace, but the effect is the same: he can pull items out of nowhere. Or rather, he pulls them out of his clothing despite having obviously no room inside his suit for all these objects. He can only summon a few select objects, however, including:
-Spiders. He can make small spiders, about 1 cm long, pour out from every nook and cranny of his clothing, hundreds of them in a matter of seconds.
- Webs. He can spray thick webs from his sleeves or pant legs to constrict things. These don’t spray very far, so need to be used in melee range. If he takes his top hat off, he can use it to fire a clot of webbing as if from a cannon, gaining much greater range and adding concussive force to the constricting effect.
- Sword canes. Sturdy oaken canes with a sword hiding inside. Screwing off the handle reveals the sword.
- Spare monocles
- Spare top hats

Spider Control. He can control spiders telepathically. When used on large groups of them, it looks a lot like water-bending, as the spiders can cling together to form amorphous shapes. Unlike water-bending, there is no telekinesis involved, so they can’t float off the ground.

[b]History[/b]
Obadiah Phletcher Spider is a mysterious being, and the only known individual of his species. His origin is unknown, as he refuses to talk about it. As far as anyone knows, he was simply there one day, doing what he's always done. It is speculated that he came into being as physical manifestations of the mystical force known as the Ethereal Web, from which he also draws his powers.

Upon his emergence, Obadiah became a prominent businessman in both the legal and illegal sectors, using his great wit and aggressive negotiation tactics to outsmart his opposition. (His aggressive negotiation tactics usually involve beating his opposition with a cane.) He is now a force to be reckoned with in both the financial upperworld and the criminal underworld.[/hider]
