This is going in my signature.

If my app hasn't been rejected before I get the chance, I'll be adding some notes into my CS regarding NPCs and rogues. It's the cohesiveness between them all that makes my Spidey, I think, interesting.

No one's rejecting anyone yet (though I'll have to start today, gulp). Stop being so pessimistic.

Don't mind these. In a couple of hours I'll transfer my written notes onto them.

It's very nice to hear that you think that. Your work is excellent so that's a big confidence boost. I don't know if I will go for DD right now though. Classes are starting and I don't want to get ahead of myself.

Thanks. I can't say that I agree with excellent, but they're certainly masterful, if I may say

Go for what's comfortable then.

I guess I'll hold off on DD for now then.

Look, if you want to try for two you can. I've seen your work. It's always good.

Rade's profile is making me feel like I shouldn't bother aiming for Spider-Man. His just makes it clear he knows exactly what to do with the character. Meanwhile I didn't have much planned, so I concede my Spider-Man profile, leaving my Iron Man profile there instead.

Oh.

Rade vs Runner then. I'll have a reread of Rade's new writings (reread of Rade's writings; reread of Rade's writings. Tongue-twisty...) and try and make up my mind. That's the only actual competition for a character at this stage, right? Wasn't Sloth going to apply as well?

Gowi said Working on CS's tonight, EE.

Same.

I'll try and at least get one done here anyway.

Wow, ignore those extra posts. Site going down screwed that up. I'll delete them when able. My laptop has a problem with an internal component that causes the backlights not to function. Meaning I can't see anything on the screen.

"Yeh, try and talk something out."

Ahhh. Have you tried hooking it up to a spare monitor? My brother had a set up like that going for a while.

I'll have access to a computer in an hour and I'll be able to finish the cs so you can actually judge it.

Fair enough. What actually is the problem with the computer, if you don't mind my asking?

Hero Formerly he was an Oscorp employee. Born in and . He'd been very intelligent as a young boy. Even in his toddler years, his family knew he was gifted. He never stopped asking his father, who had won the Nobel Prize, the question: Why. He was always dreaming of the future and what he could do one day, how he could carry on the Parker legacy, and what all he could give to the world. He was often taken to see his and , and his significantly younger cousin , who lived down the street from them. Uncle Ben was Richard's brother, and they didn't always see eye to eye. Richard lived by the law and science, while Ben put his faith in basic human decency.In school, Peter was never particularly athletic. He wasn't particularly suave or socially graceful. What he was, was a nerd. Peter constantly had his nose buried deep in the pages of his textbooks, and when it wasn't, it was in a comic book. Otherwise, Peter was striking out with girls he never honestly had a chance with. His friend, who he often tutored, was the son of one of New York's richest men, , CEO and founder of . Norman's son, , often defended Peter from the insults that came with being smart in school. Harry always invited Peter to his parties, which was likely the only reason Peter wasn't completely alone socially.Peter graduated as the valedictorian of . His parents were very proud of him, and so was his aunt and uncle. Harry's father suggested that he tell Peter about about a job at Oscorp just for him. Harry and Peter got jobs the same day. Peter, as a geneticist, and Harry in the management department. On the first day, like magic, Harry found a girlfriend in , a coworker in Oscorp's PR department. But Peter also found love. Oscorp's facility was ginormous. It was one of the city's tallest towers, and every square inch of it was dedicated to a better tomorrow. It was just like a dream.In a few weeks time, Peter had already developed a cure for patients who'd lost their limbs in a war across seas or through any other accident. The test patient was , a former Iraq veteran who'd lost his arm in a minefield before barely escaping with his life. Through the use of aa retrovirus based on the DNA sequences of an Iguana, Peter managed to provide a way to give those not lucky enough to have an X-Healing factor a means to regenerate any part of their body in a day's time.The discovery made Peter an instant success. For the first time in his life Peter felt loved by people in general. He appeared on talk-shows, magazine interviews, and was featured on the cover of Time. One day, when he completed a lab report about the effects of , as his healing virus had been labeled, he was met by Lilly Hollister, who Peter'd heard of before, but had never met.She took him too a sub basement of the facility. And when she took Peter inside, he was astounded. The basement was teaming with humanoid animal hybrids. Right off the bat, Peter saw a pacing back and forth in its cage. When Peter asked Lilly why he'd never seen this project before. She told him that it was because it was a secret contract for the military, to create the next-generation of super soldiers. She called it, Peter asked how the animals could ever act as soldiers. Lilly told him that they were given augmented intelligences to outclass any pureblood humans on the fields. Peter was silently shocked, it took all the honor out of fighting a war. But then Lilly then offered Peter a position as the lead geneticist in the department.Peter declined, on the grounds of decency towards other nations. But then, in a final offer, Lilly said that it wouldn't be exclusive to the US, that they'd sell them to whoever needs it, or whoever can pay for them. Peter declined again, on the grounds of not wanting to commit treason.So Lilly said, "Well. It's not for everyone." Then she knocked Peter out cold before dragging his body onto an operating table, strapping him down, and waiting for him to wake up. When he woke up, Lilly started talking. "Rise and shine, Mr.Parker. Today, you've volunteered for the Zoo-per Soldier Project. I lied earlier when I said we made animals smarter. We just augment humans and take their freewill. Believe it or not, you actually paved the way for this. It's wrapped up in two simple steps: First I have to alter your DNA, which is going to hurt. A lot. Then we lobotomize you." She jumped up and down, clapping.She looked for the most unusual sserum she could find, avoiding ones such as the , the , the , and so forth. Then she found an incomplete project, the . She chose it for two reasons, it seemed befitting of a man who was so socially awkward, and, being incomplete, would possibly have painful side effects. When she injected it into Peter's vein, he began to emit a green foam from his mouth. Lilly backed up, not knowing what it was. As it leaked down the side of his face, it ate at the table that was holding him. It ate the restraints off of his body, and it dissolved a bit of the concrete floor. Lilly ran away, believing that Petee might destroy himself and everything in the room.It took him a minute to be able to think clearly and not want to smash everything. But once he did, Peter decided that he needed to get away from the place. Just walking out of the place Peter shoved some thingsmuch harder than intended, looked closely at things that weren't previously visible, ran very quickly, and leaked a sticky web out of his wrist. Just leaving the facility, he discovered most of his other genetic variances. Peter wasn't unsurprised by them at all, he was just being too objective to stop and marvel at them. On the way home, he just fell asleep. He didn't wake up for days.However, days later, when he finally did make it to his house. There was police tape blocking the door. He also went to his parents house, which also was blocked. He didn't know what was going on. So he went to the library, where he used a computer to look up the news. It was a front page story. The Daily Bugle, New York's premier news source (sponsored by Oscorp), said that Peter Parker, former Oscorp employee, had allegedly murdered his parents using a trained animal. Then, after he'd committed the crime, he ran away. At the moment, Peter Benjamin Parker was the most wanted man in New York City. Peter looked around to see several people on their phones while they looked at him. So: Before the police could arrive, Peter got up and started running away like a madman.Once he was alone, Peter thought about how he could prove his innocence, so he decided he would have to take on the case from a legal standpoint. He'd have to use forensic evidence to disprove the public's claims. But, Peter knew that it must've been Oscorp who'd framed him. So he decided that he'd, in the meantime, take Oscorp down with him. Specifically Lilly Hollister.So, in the fashion of many superheroes before him, he created a costume and alias. He'd be Spider-Man, dressed in a dark blue Halloween costume with red features. But he realized he couldn't be Spider-Man all the time, so he created another alias, as a civilian he'd be Ben Reilly. He died his hair blonde and got a job at the Daily Bugle as an investigative journalist.As Spider-Man and Ben Reilly, he's begun gathering evidence to prove his innocence and Oscorp's responsibility. He has yet to actually fight a supervillain or destroy any of Oscorp's work.▪Agility: Peter is double-jointed, highly flexible, and has faster reflexes than almost any other human on the planet. He can jump over one hundred feet high as well as two hundred feet wide.▪Binocular-Vision: He can see extra far distances that allow him to precisely choose a point to jump onto. As a bonus, it pretty much allows him to look extra far for any reason.▪Night-Vision: Peternis capable of seeing in low-level conditions due to specialzedncells within his pupils that gather light more effectively than in a human.▪Spider-Sense: Using short little hairs on the back of his neck, Peter can feel vibrations from the ground he is standing on or traveling through the air. They act as an early warning sense to anything that would rapidly approach him.▪Strength: When pushing himself to his limit, Peter can lift five tons (10K lbs).▪Swiftness: With the (significantly less than) proportional speed of a spider, Peter is capable of running at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.▪Venom: From specialized glands in his jaw, Peter can secrete an acidic biotoxin from his canines capable of eating through steel in seconds. It has no effect on his cells or body, despite seem its caustic nature.▪Water Walking: He is fully capable of walking, running, and floating on water by subconsciously manipulating the surface tension.▪Wall-Crawling: He is capable of ascending vertical surfaces and crawling across ceilings using the hairs on his feet, fingertips, and palms. The most obvious limitations to this ability are the fact that he tends to wear shoes and that his gloves may be too thick at times, and the surfaces he chooses to attach to. If they are hot, cold, slick or pointy, he will likely have a bit of trouble.▪Web Generation: He can launch web of varying density based on how he flexes a specialized muscle in his wrist. The web is not made from nothing however, and requires that Peter create large amounts of protein. He cannot swing for a long time, such would require him to stop and eat or take frequent breaks.-WIP-

Wow. That's kind of creepy isn't it...

Edit: Alright; I've read everyone's sheets so far now. Could everyone who is yet to please get their sample posts up within the next 24-or-so hours. I'll make the tough calls at this point.

I didn't 100% copy my CS from the Wiki. I copied a paragraph about his early life, i said that he had a very similar upbringing to his comic counterpart. They shared a similar life, up until a certain point, after which, my Hulk went one way, and Stan's Hulk went another. That's it, what happens after that is completely my own idea's. And again, nobody at any point stated that, as a rule, we're not allowed to take liberties from the comics. That's like complaining about how Drew's Spider-Man lost his parents and was taken in by Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Of course we are going to take liberties from the stories, because those stories are good. We want to make characters that stay true to the mythos, whilst being completely our own, which, in my opinion, is exactly what a re-imagining should be.Also, if you read my proposal, you would note that it doesn't involve changing your character to fit mine, it's changing my character to fit yours. I was just wondering if you were ok with this idea.

The problem isn't the content - if none of us borrowed from the continuity then we'd have far different characters rolling around. It's the fact that you took a user of that wiki's work as your own.

You've fixed it now as you've said but I'm not sure if I should accept you when it's finally accepting time. I don't feel that you have the right attitude for an advanced-level game.
