History: Webb is a strange case, even for those within Nocturnia.
He has no memory of before he woke up one day in the city, people kept away from him so he secluded himself for the most part. Once he figured out he could use his powers to help others, he quickly tried his best to help whoever needed it, but due to his naivety; he’s known for accidentally helping the wrong person.
He quickly learnt that with his specific powers, he needs to eat
a lot; and he figured out pretty soon that it has to be meat. He’s never actively eaten a human, but being an obligate carnivore can become very hard to live by, especially without the funds to be able to find food for himself.
Unknown to Webb, his Gyft is linked to a ‘prophecy’ of an old all-but-dead cult of an old Spider God. Said to have been ‘reborn’ within the city and was to bring the glory of the cult back to life. Webb of course, has no idea about this cult or the prophecy; but he has had a couple of run ins with the occasional cult member, where he just simply runs away.
Due to Webbs’ unknown upbringing and him simply just waking up one day, he doesn’t know a lot about the world. He’s quiet and tends to not speak unless he needs to; and when he does, it’s usually done with smaller sentences and smaller words.
__________
Alliance: He believes he’s a hero, but he’s somewhere in the middle.
District: Floater, no real home. Doesn’t do things for wealth, just wants to help where he can.
Faction: (Unknowingly) Cult of the Black Web
Cult of the Black Web is a well-hidden cult, thought to be dead for centuries. They hide within the nooks of Nocturnia, awaiting the rise of their long lost Spider God; Garderra - Said to be the Spider God of Stealth and Poison.
__________
Gyft: Touch of the Black Web / Garderra’s Curse
Subject is cursed with a ‘twisted’ appearance; extra eyes, hidden mandibles that contain a paralysing poison, Multiple limbs, clawed hands and feet with the ability to scale walls as well as a thorax that can produce a strong web that can hold 10 times the weight of the cursed.
Paralysis Poison; Roll 1D20, if lower roll than target; the area affected is small and is mostly just numbed. If higher roll, the area affected can be as much as a limb and causes full Paralysis. The effect lasts roughly for an hour. (used more as a defensive attack rather than offensive)
Super Human strength; the Cursed can lift 10x its own weight with ease.
Limitations and Weaknesses: - Due to the multiple eyes, the cursed is affected quite harshly by changes in light levels, if put into an area with too much light, can be hindered and almost blinded.
The superhuman strength eats away at a lot of calories within the cursed, as well as the webbing ability, which causes them to have to eat a lot, often at least half their body weight whenever they can.
Sticky hands make it hard to do most normal things, as their ability to stick to things ends up getting them in awkward situations.
Unable to be ‘covert’, appearance is hard to hide unless within a big cloak. Easily Spotted in daylight.
