[color=gray]Strand, your friendly neighbor-hood super-hero.[/color] And you are? [b]How old are you?[/b] 20, what's this for again? [b]What do you look like?[/b] I'm right here, but okay. Black hair, kind of olive-ish skin tone, brown eyes; kinda almond-ish shaped, high cheek bones, square jaw, kinda muscular...[hider="Don't tell anyone that I run around in tights and punch muggers."][img]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/304752992572145664/626870503868596234/Scott_Yi.png?width=216&height=301[/img][/hider][hider=Casual][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/651245094493487104/689322564631527452/Scott.png[/img][/hider] [b]What did you do before the Recluse incident?[/b] Well, that's a bit of a loaded question. I kind of went to a no-name school. Like, it literally had no name. PS 191, that was all it was ever called. Guess that's not important though, is it? Well, what can I say? My parents did their best. My dad works at a department store as a part-owner, and my mom was a CNA. They moved from Korea and who-knows-where-else before settling in this little apartment here in New York. I uh, wasn't always happy with being... well, I didn't always feel like [i]me[/i] growing up, but that's in the past now. But because of some steep medical expenses in the past, despite doing a decent bit of studying, it looked like college was out of the question. Good thing I ended up getting the Osborne Physical Promise Academic Grant. Even got to meet old man Norman and his son Harry [b]What happened after the incident?[/b] Super Strength: 0 Agility: 0 Durability: 0 Regeneration: 0 Spider-Sense: 100 Mutation: 0 So, yeah... Imagine knowing when things are going to happen before they happen... usually when it involves getting hurt. Now imagine waking up one day to find you rolled in your sleep- up a wall. Now imagine like, feeling these... threads, or something, that pull to other people. Yeah, it's weird. Seriously, who are you? [b]Do you believe in aliens?[/b] I read about this once: Fermi Paradox. But basically, the galaxy's so big that even our oldest transmissions are no where near another star, so even if there were aliens, and even if they were intelligent, they'd have no way of knowing we exist. That's a little sad. [b]What are your goals for the future?[/b] Well, scholarships don't qualify for themselves, so busting my back as usual. Aiming for physical therapy, or emotional counseling. I figure I can take one as a minor, and not kill myself too hard. [b]You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?[/b] It's great. I mean, it's loud, it's crazy, but where else can a street artist, an Italian cook, and a little Chinese grandmother all share the same building? It's sort of like, the embodiment of America, in a way. Is that weird? [b]How much technology do you use on a daily basis?[/b] I mean, when I was younger, I was a total audio-rat. I had headphones on like, ninety percent of the time. It drove my mom nuts. My dad would bring offages from the store that were slightly broken, and I would try to fix them, but I had more a passion than a talent for it. Recently, it's more for homework and stuff; so I'm not sure if it's a lot less, or just as much. [b]What do you like?[/b] Full of loaded questions today, huh. Okay, okay, I'm cooperating. Music, if that wasn't obvious from before. Also, big weakness for chilli-fries. They're absolute trash but I love them. But nothing beats a home-cooked meal; the fact that my mom makes a lot of Korean food has a [i]lot[/i] to do with it. Uh, hanging with friends... but I do a lot of, let's say, nocturnal extracurricular activities. [b]What do you dislike?[/b] This is gonna sound weird, but I don't drink milk much. I sort of avoid dairy altogether. Not a big fan of being like, alone alone, ya'know? Also, all this pressure about being in a relationship and having sex and stuff- I don't gel with it. Just let me chill guys, seriously. [b]Do you think true evil exists?[/b] Wow, deep stuff today. I can't say I've given that serious thought. I think it's mostly people who made bad choices. [b]What’s your favorite color?[/b] Probably this one, [98fb98], although [color=ff00ff]this[/color] is cool too, and [color=gray]this[/color]. [b]Favorite song?[/b] That is... a difficult choice. Maybe [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrBUjXaRSUQ]this one[/url]? Or [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG6fayQBm9w]this one[/url][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEK0hp6GXD8]?[/url] [b]Anything else to add?[/b] No, not really. What's this for again? [b]What are your thoughts on these people?[/b] [color=crimson][b]Marcus Tanner[/b][/color] Literally, this guy- I've known him since probably before we could both walk. Sometimes I think he knows me better than I know myself. Which, in all likelihood, is possible. I don't know if I'd have gotten through those [i]'medical expenses'[/i] without him. There were times when like, no one was smiling, and then, there he was. [b]Susan Yi[/b] That's my mom. She expects a lot out of me, but is probably more forgiving of me than I am of myself. Also, she makes some of the best food in the world, hands down. And she has a weird habit of being way too chill with having guests over, especially if they have dinner. With what's been going on, I feel like that's a good thing. [b]Dae-won "Devon" Yi[/b] My dad is a hard worker to a fault. He expects me to do well, just as much as my mom does. But he's never not done what he had to for us, and he'd always be sure to make it home every night, even when it would cost him a promotion or something. Not that I ever think it did. You know what I mean. He took a bit to adjust to the... post medical scenario, but he was always on my side. And we would always talk about the new shipments of electronics coming into the store, so talking to him's not, like, hard? Still... I can't really tell him about the whole Recluse thing. He'd have an aneurysm. [b][color=ec008c]Danny Davis[/color][/b] We went to the same elementary school for a while. Haven't seen him in ages. I just can't stand how he got bullied like that. Where ever he is, I hope he's safe. [/color][/center][/hider] [hider=A Newcomer][center][color=red][h2]All right, let’s take it from the top, one more time…[/h2][/color] [color=cd7f32][b]What’s your name?[/b] Ceya Montoya The one and only [color=d4af37]Tarantula Knight[/color] [b]How old are you?[/b] Seventeen. [b]What do you look like?[/b] Oh I'm a little scamp. Hair's kinda curly, on the longer side, black, ends between my shoulder blades. It tends to be a bit of a mess. Especially recently. Average height I guess? Shorter than others, but too many people are freakishly tall. I'm not microscopic. I'm kinda thin, stay pretty tan, my legs are sorta bigger though. Don't talk about it. Kinda have a button nose, high cheekbones, round cheeks, small ears, thick-ish eyebrows... What I wear varies. Depends on how I feel. Sometimes it's baggy, sometimes it's tighter, whatever color I want. Sometimes I want to stand out, others I want to blur into the background. [b]What did you do before the Recluse incident?[/b] I mean, not too much? Dropped out of highschool, usually dance when I get the chance. Hang out with Kimmy and Ray Ray- glad he stopped hanging out with those guys. Hated them, they're a bunch of bigoted twits. But yeah, I dance when I can, sometimes ballet, sometimes freestyle. Live with my dad. He does his best. Help him sometimes with deliveries. He has a laundry business. Think I want to quit doing that after what happened. And food trucks. Love food trucks. [b]What happened after the incident?[/b] Super Strength: 20 Agility: 10 Durability: 40 Regeneration: 0 Spider-Sense: 10 Mutation: 20 So... nothing hurts anymore. Or, not a lot. My skin won't break, not easy, but I can still feel stuff. Stuff's way lighter. Like, it's insane. And I feel faster too, and things are weirdly clearer, but not as much, like sometimes I can almost hear things before they happen, it feels like. Sounds like? Anyway, I have these weird like... other hairs on my head. They're stiff and weird, and fall out if I want them to, or if there's enough pressure on them, the stick into stuff, ruins towels sometimes. I feel weird about people finding them. They don't hurt me, but I feel like they'd mess with other people. Feels like there's something else but it's never really come up? Almost like there's something between my muscle and my skin. Oh, and sometimes my hands are sticky. That’s not an innuendo. Hard to let go of things sometimes. Got real good at throwing a punch since then. [b]Do you believe in aliens?[/b] I mean, no? That'd be dumb. We'd notice space aliens flying around. [b]What are your goals for the future?[/b] Honestly? No idea. I'm just going day-to-day. Especially after things got weird. [b]You lived in New York for a while now, right? What do you think of the city?[/b] I mean, yeah, moved into the building when I was around twelve, born in Manhattan. Parents are from Illinois, sounds like it's fricking boring, so better here than there, I guess. [b]How much technology do you use on a daily basis?[/b] I mean, does listening to music count? [b]What do you like?[/b] Dancing, music, food trucks- have I mentioned food trucks?- and just kinda doing my thing. Knocking heads is actually kinda fun, which, like, don’t tell people that, I get it, but it doesn’t leave this room, get it? [b]What do you dislike?[/b] People who don't mind their business, the feeling you get when your hands go pruney and you have to touch wet fabric, those scenes where two guys are supposed to be good at fighting, but they just keep punching each other back and forth and no one goes down for like… five minutes. [code]Expletive deleted[/code] annoying. And don’t get me started about people who say to “embrace my culture”. Like, I was born in Manhattan, my parents are from Illinois. Like I don’t have to… dance salsa or speak with a thick accent just because of my face. It’s dumb. Don’t assume I learned spanish. I don’t expect you to speak fluent Flemish. [b]Do you think true evil exists?[/b] What kind of question is that? What else would you call sick [code]expletive deleted[/code] politicians and them? [b]What’s your favorite color?[/b] I really like that color that's like, in those multicolored rocks that are every color at once, right between the bluey-greeny shiny bit and the pink reflections? That bit. Second is the color between purple and orange in sunsets. [b]Favorite song?[/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrVMzDw7ncs]Jam.[/url] [b]Anything else to add?[/b] Who’re you?

I’d say she’s an absolute doll, but she’s sharp as a tack and has a razor wit. I’d hate to be on her bad side. She’s been like, ‘group mom’ since I met her. Probably before that, with how she treats Ray. Huge props. Also, great beats to dance to. Love it. [color=7ea7d8][B]Raymond Davis[/B][/color] What can I say about Ray that hasn’t been said? He has a lot going on, but we’ve never really talked about it. He’s that kind of person that gives you a headache, but you can’t help but love him. Good kid, but he made some dumb choices. Seems like he’s turning it around though. Respect him for that. Should probably tell him one day. Also, I think maybe he tries too hard? Like lots of… image stuff and “I’m a tough guy look at me”. Not directed at me, but others sometimes? [/color][/center] [/hider]
