[color=aba000]From first glance at a distance Micheal might look more intimidating and much bigger than his actual frame. The lean framed man is swallowed by a massive hoodie that swallows his frame. Though he's always preferred comfy lounge wear, over what he calls tight clothing. A pair of cargos with a ton of pockets, he jokingly calls them his utility pockets.That's the truth to a certain extent, his pockets hold his keys, his pack of smoke, a utility tool, but nothing he suppose a hero would carry around. A pair of worn down black and white converse in a hoodie that doesn't belong to him. 

5'5" he's not the tallest guy of the bunch and he's not built for strength much either. He's built for running or really, quick escapes and getaways flying from rooftops, soaring from rooftop to rooftop. Which seems impressive to others considering his prosthetic left leg. Viral does all the physical labor usually. He has a husky voice usually on the more hoarse side of things.[/color]

[color=f26522]Venom? No. A four armed monstrosity takes over Micheal's form, revealing some 7ft, creature with a snarling voice, and a long tongue. There is no symbol on its chest, most familiar with what this is may see them only associated with the Spiderman. But Viral seems not associated. Despite its size Viral has well developed legs, a lean bulky frame, and a massive tail. As if its taken on some features and knowledge of its host.[/color]

[color=f26522][b]Powers:[/b][/color]
[color=f26522]
Viral has similar capabilities all Symbiotes share:

All symbiotes have the ability to form tendril-like pseudopods. Which Viral uses to deflect blows and ensnare prey. 

Symbiotes have the ability to process breathable gases when the host normally cannot breathe.

Symbiotes can expand to considerable limits in order to cover any host or object. It should also be noted that their constitute matter is also somewhat bulletproof, it takes a few shots before someone can penetrate the suit and bring harm to the host.  

Symbiotes that have fully bonded with their hosts have a more biologically complex symbiosis with their hosts, and can share thoughts and memories with them.[/color]

[color=f26522][b]Powers of Viral -[/b][/color]

[color=f26522][b]Enhanced Strength[/b] - Name speaks for itself. Viral often times the muscle of the duo. Able to rip doors off its hinges, bend metal. He's so dense he can stop cars in their track. If the scale of strength is from Normal Human to Superman, Viral sits in the middle at Hulk strength, but not Superman levels of strength. His limitations seems to be at semi truck level.[/color]

[color=f26522][b]Life-Force Drain[/b][/color] - [color=f26522]When Viral ensnare and entraps his prey, he then can drain their life-force from their body. This life-force is then synthesize for various uses, it can be used to fuel Viral and give him an extra boost in vigor. Not necessarily making him stronger, but making him breathe deeper, focus better. The second way life-force can be synthesized is used for minor healing affects, ways of repairing damage or exertion. 

Minor healing effects in this case mean; *Notes from me I dislike healin' that can just solve everything so healin' always gonna be on the low tier scale imo. He can regenerate some minor wounds, gashes, and some deep cuts. But we're not talkin' healing from lethal injuries here. This use of life-force is extended upon Micheal because Viral protects Micheal. [/color]

[color=f26522][b]Acidic Claws, Barb Tail Tip and Fangs[/b]- Viral has the bite force of an alien great white, unhinging his jaws and being able to tear into the flesh of humans and anything as weak as them. His teeth and his claws are coded in an acid that also burns their flesh, eating away at the wound. The acid last a short period of time, though it leaves a burning stinging rash afterwards that last a few hours.[/color]

[color=f26522][b]Stinger[/b][/color] -[color=f26522] Viral possess a barbed stinger on the tip of his tail. Which has a powerful neurotoxin. When slashed or pierced with Viral's barbed tail, the neurotoxin enters the blood stream and begins to leave the victim with sharp nerve pain. Think a jellyfish sting, but at an intense level that could cause death, though most of the time those that get struck by the tail live in miserable agony for up to an hour to 24 hours. Depends on the doses.[/color]

[color=f26522][b]ESP [/b][/color]-[color=f26522] Has the ability to sense incoming threats. It's not necessarily a Spider Sense because it doesn't sense danger, and is much quicker than Spider Sense is. But it can detect danger in every direction rather than danger from a singular space. Giving Viral ample time to dodge bullets, punches, and blows. [/color]

[b][color=aba000]Micheal's Powers -[/color][/b]

[color=aba000]Even without the Symbiote suit Micheal had already possessed his own meta-genes.[/color]

[color=aba000][b]Minor Regeneration[/b] - Viral only enhances Micheal's natural regeneration from minor wounds. [see my note about healing powers] It's Micheal's regeneration abilities from cuts, scrapes, minor bruising, that likely saved Micheal from the car crash that killed his parents. With the Symbiote suit - Micheal's regeneration is enhanced significantly. Again though he's not resurrecting from the dead and lethal wounds still recover medical attention. The way lethal and major wounds work with his regeneration is that the wound is partially regenerating and breaking down at the same time, giving him a longer window before death. [/color]

[color=aba000][b]Equipment:[/b][/color]
[color=aba000][center]This is starting to feel like airport security. I don't really have anything special.[/center][/color]

[color=aba000]Usually carries on him a small travel size bag with some water in it
Also a pair of tactical finger less gloves inside that bag

Otherwise, some stale gum - forgot it was in there honestly and I think a water bottled leaked on it. Getting it stuck to the nylon. 

An expired coupon 

Pack of cigarettes [/color]

[color=aba000][b]Skills:[/b][/color] 
[color=aba000][center]Viral tends to steal a lot of my skills[/center][/color]
[color=f26522][center]We share knowledge and memories. It is less stealing and me enhancing your natural capabilities. I am borrowing.[/center][/color]
[color=aba000][center]And I only borrowed those vehicles[/center][/color]
[color=f26522][center]Shall I remove myself from your mind and flesh?[/center][/color]
[color=aba000][center]I am only joking. You're really bad at reading tone sometimes.[/center][/color]

[color=aba000][b]Boxing [/b]- *Micheal is a skilled boxer, he's been technically practicing boxing at a young age. He used to watch his father's fights in the ring and copy his moves. His father was a well renown boxer at some point in time [/color]
[color=f26522]*Viral sharing knowledge with Micheal allows Viral to mimic Micheal's boxing style. All though add four arms into the mix and Viral can land a lot more blows than Micheal can. 
[/color]

[color=aba000][b]Free-Running [/b]- Though derived from parkour, free-running focus is more on the artistry or performance, it is an acrobatic performance art. It is more focused on the flourish, rather than speed and efficiency. Micheal takes careful of course not to fuck anything else over. [/color]
[color=f26522]*The way this extends to Viral is that he uses this capability to make long jumps over rooftops, and can wall run on all fours. He also can jump over obstacles like benches, and even balance himself on narrow ledges that might seem impossible for something as hulking as Viral. [/color]

[color=aba000][b]Car Jacking [/b]- I am not proud of my past, jacking cars. But I know a few things about taking a car. And how to hot wire it without needing a key. I know how to unlock the door as well without having to bust a window. Not sure how helpful that's going to be. -shrugs-[/color]
[color=f26522]*Viral while Viral is not going to be carefully unlocking cars and hot wiring them, he can use his constitute matter to take over a car and seize its engine for his use. [/color]

[color=aba000][b]Writing[/b] - Just a hobby. Love writing short stories and poetry. [/color]

[color=aba000]Micheal: Without her help I wouldn't have found Viral that day, most likely. We were way in over our heads and we knew it. We just had to lick our wounds and turn tail and run. Well I was sick as shit that day, but I had to find Viral. That is if he wanted me. I admire the hell out of her. I didn't know who she was at the time when we intervened. [/color]

[color=aba000]Micheal: Swore he was going to become my adversary at some point. You see Spider Man on the news and you don't get the impression he's going to kick your ass. Then he stands in front of you. And you're like yeah he's going to kick my ass. It started off as a misunderstanding. Viral looks similar to one of his foes. And he thought I was out to cause mischief. When he realized that wasn't the case, he apologized and became the nicest guy I have ever fuckin' met. He gives advice from time to time. Moral support when I needed it. [/color]

[color=f26522]Viral: One day when we get strong enough, we will use this friend of ours to find the prey that I seek. It is good to have a strong ally. [/color]

[color=aba000]Micheal: The first time we met Silver Banshee we were way in over our heads. Course we were in over our heads. She was fightin' Supergirl for fuck sake. We should have known how powerful she was. But Viral a glory hog, he protest, but it's the truth or it feels like the truth sometimes. It's probably the first time I recognized I was in over my head. Way in over my head. In fact I thought I had lost Viral forever. That I lost a chance - at making a difference, maybe even redeeming myself.[/color]

[color=f26522]Viral: It was my fault we got involved in that situation with Silver Banshee. I am a hunter. My directive is to hunt down foreign and alien threats alike that pose a threat. I didn't chose Earth, but crashed here. If I was to stay here, then I need help conquer its foes. I could have looked for a different host. Found someone stronger. Physically, yes. But not mentally. I wanted to find Micheal. [/color]

[color=aba000]While Silver Banshee may had never sought the duo out, the day they had the guts to intervene when she was fighting Supergirl intrigued her. Another powerful entity, well they were weak then, but could grow stronger. Now she seeks them out, as she seeks out Superman and Supegirl with the same tenacity. [/color]

[color=aba000]Micheal: All I wanted was to go to a concert. Like a normal person. And do somethin' good for my life. Instead I got pulled into vampire cult bullshit. The name Scream Queen should've given it away if I am bein' truly honest. I am never gonna be able to enjoy a soundtrack from Scare Tactics without havin' to think 'bout the night some vampires tried to convert me. [/color]

[color=f26522]Viral: I looked forward to finding what Micheal finds interesting about the noise boxes of his he enjoys. He talked nonstop about this Scare Tactics. And while the noise from the speakers was scratchy and irritating, I do understand his enjoy. What I [b]Do Not Appreciate[/b] is when someone tries to Dominate my Host. [/color]

[color=aba000]Micheal was a long time fan of Scare Tactics, someone from juvie got him interested, Micheal spent an awful amount of time saving up money to earn VIP tickets to a Scare Tactics concert. Not realizing at the time that it was a front. Scare Tactics and the Scream Queens culty vampire groupies were using the VIP tickets to learn in potential victims to feed on them. One of those victims would have been Micheal if not for Viral. Who objected right away. This time they didn't get their asses handed to them, but they also didn't quite win either. The Scream Queen doesn't hunt them near as much as the Silver Banshee, but she holds a deep grudge against the pair.[/color]

[color=aba000]Canon Basis: Micheal is actually a character who has elements of Eddy Brock and elements of Peter Parker. I wrote the character in response to both characters and kind of have a what if Peter Parker didn't have the opportunities he had and support he had. I know that might not seem significant, but hopefully that interest yall the way it interested me to ask and explore those questions.[/color]

[color=aba000][b]Bio:[/b][/color]
[center][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeUClDmqTSI&ab_channel=EDM4ALLDubstep[/youtube][/center]

[color=aba000]It sort of starts out the way it always starts out, doesn't it? You're living your happiest and best life, it ain't like there weren't any hardships. But it ain't like my parents were pieces of shit either. My Dad was a professional boxer, they use to call him the Dragon in the ring cause his fist hit hard and fast like a Dragon breathing fire. Course as a kid you want to emulate your parents so, I took up to copying his moves when I was young. Meanwhile, my Mom had a few bestsellers out. Even had a movie deal supposedly. While Grandma and Grandpa owned a bookstore on Mom's side. Kind of found that funny. I was born September 18th. 

But I don't think anyone here is for my childhood stories told from rose tinted glasses. Everyone here is for the tragedy. When I was nine, December, near Christmas. When it snows in Jersey and York, and we're visiting relatives. As you do during the holidays. When a truck came screeching down a windy road, slipping on a patch of ice. Flipping us over. Caused an eight car pileup. Neither parent made it. Neither did my left leg. But they always say I was lucky and I should have died.

Only can tell that story with that much calm if I don't go into the details. So I am not. Rest of the story is as goes. I get taken in by my Mom's parents. The ones who own the bookstore. And then I was expected to get on with my life, you know. As most people expect a kid to do. We deal with the grief. Let him cry. Hold him. But it's back to school. Back to life as you know it. 

Except down that road I took a wrong turn. Don't know if I was angry or had a good enough reason for it. But in middle school I started hanging out with the worse kind of people. The worse kind of kids, who probably need some loving and care from their parents. Who might see the only way to get attention is through negative actions. 

Drinking at an early age. Smoking. Not really listening to my grandparents at fifteen. Don't really know what I was thinking, still asking myself that question. Don't know how I even got involved in petty crimes. Vandalism of property. Petty shoplifting. It was a thrill I guess and I felt alive. I had some good things still even then, good things I was ruining. I had my boxing. Still trained in that even after Dad passed and never let go of his coat ever since. I wrote to pass the time. Always loved art. Whether that be in taking the plunge, really got into parkour somehow after watching some kids at the skate park. Or writing stories. They say kids emulate their parents the most, guess I emulated them to keep them around.

I should have listened to my grandparents more I think. But I think I was lost. Searching for something meaningful. Probably took it too far when I stole the wrong car from the wrong person. I was pressured into it. One of those dumb kid things where we thought it would be so cool to do. I mean we had stolen their parents cars a few times. And once a beat up hooptie. But this was something different. This was a nice, luxurious car, sitting out in front of a poor downtown neighborhood. It was shiny and red. To get a joy ride in something like that. 

Well lesson learned, when you're sixteen and steal some rich asshole's car. And after a laundry list of felonies to your name, they send you to juvenile corrections after something like that. I was in juvie for two years. Wasted all of my opportunities. With boxing. With art. With high school. All because I wouldn't listen and was trying to fill an emptiness inside of me.

I was eighteen when I was released. Returned to my grandparents, with a heartfelt apology and them accepting me back with open arms even though I screwed up so royally. Helped them after that, at their bookstore. Trying to get myself back on track after that. After all I had done. All the public destruction, all the petty theft, even crashing some rich guy's car and breaking down someone's fence. Maybe I'll write books, maybe I'll get back into boxing if they'll have me. That's what I thought to myself.

But instead I got the weirdest belated birthday present that year. Always enjoyed clearing my head in the great outdoors. Despite my prosthetic, I still loved taking hiking trails, still lived sitting out there listening to the sounds. It was a way to clear my head and also write in peace. Should've paid more attention to the news, but I don't regret it. Apparently I didn't get the memo of the meteor that crashed landed in some woods outside of York's boundaries. Or else I would have never met Viral.

Again, I don't hate Viral. Don't regret him becoming my partner. But it took us a while to get used to each other. I admit when I first met him I hated him, but that's because he had a habit of taking me places and not explaining. He used to take a lot more control over in the first few months we met. Till I learned to take back control from him. I think that's when he started to respect me more, the year after been much better because I think Viral finally sees me as a reliable partner. And the rest is history. I hope that we can make a difference, Viral and I. And I can fulfill the promise I made to him some day, after we get stronger.[/color][/hider]
