Brief (around 300 words) personality outline of your character:
What can I say? It's Spider-Man; he's the Woody Allen of superheroes. For every glib one-liner, (of which there are a great, great many) there's a truckful of neuroticism following. He has a very strong sense of responsibility, both to those he cares for and to the world as a whole. He's seen a lot of pain and death in the past and he just wants to minimise other people's suffering any way he can.
He's a bookworm, a boffin and primarily a workaholic. Often this means he can come across as either distracted or even rude in his civilian identity. He was roundly tormented as a youth by his peers, and it could be argued that he uses the Spider-Man persona to work out that anger. In costume he's sassy, talkative and generally quite flippant, moreso when it's clear that these traits rile his adversaries.
The older Peter Parker wears his heart on his sleeve more than in his teenage years. He doesn't handle bad news well and women generally confound him. Unless they're his Aunt May, of course. And there perhaps lies his greatest strength-- he is unwaveringly loyal to those he cares about, none more typified than his constant efforts to ensue the widowed May gets to live at least something close to comfortably. He's even gone so far as to cover the notorious Green Goblin's identity in the past, purely to avoid the anguish it would cause his friend Harry.
Brief (around 500 words) history and background of your character OR link to a really good wiki page with their history. In either case, explain where they cut off from the timeline:
Wiki probably says it better than I could-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_history_of_Spider-Man
The point in canon that I'm going to be taking him from is right after his return from Battleworld. This is not too long after the deaths of Captain George and Gwen Stacy. Peter still harbours a great deal of grief, yet he's at the height of Mary Jane and Black Cat's vie for his affections. He's yet to discover the symbiote suit he wears is a living organism and not state-of-the-art tech.
Sample post (just a general, everyday, puttering-around-the-ship post; please include a snippet of dialogue):
"Freeze, Spidey. You're under arrest."
"Sorry to rain on your parade, officer," Spidey catcalls as he launches into the air, "But the only arrest you're going to be making is of the cardiac variety. 'Sides, I've an Octopus to catch."
Before he manages to scale the New York cityscape, the assembled SWAT detachment open fire. Of course, nothing the proportionate agility of a spider can't deal with. Or so he thinks.
"Aw, hell," a stray bullet catches his webline, severing the sticky adhesive and sending him plummeting through the sky, "I knew I was going to regret that. Note to self-- don't ever suggest someone giving you a heart attack unless you really want one."
He rolls and twirls in the sky, his fall turning into a beautifully precise dive. Another bullet zips past his ear; a third tears his suit at the calf. He counts the milliseconds, all six of them, that it takes for him to launch a volley of webbing at the Boys Below in Blue. If it weren't for the rush of air, he'd hear the mute twapping of the goo against one barrel, then another. His final shot goes wide, slapping an unfortunate police officer in the face. With muffled sqawks, he scrabbles to free himself from the adhesive, failing entirely. Instead, he trips over his own feet and careens into the other, disarmed squaddies. The last looks to fall prettily heavily, saved at the last minute by a rapidly erected web cushion as Peter hit the ground.
"Alright guys, take two! And this time, can we use blanks, lest I end up like Brandon Lee? I'm too young to be canonised, though I'm admittedly dressed for the occasion."
There's a pyeeeeeew noise as the Sensoriums power down.
"What? Was that last one in poor taste? My bad. Perfect score though. What can I say? I'm pretty fly."
If the character has magic, mutant, or otherwise metahuman abilities, please explain what they are and outline EXACTLY how they function, as their powers may not work due to the nature of the ship or may need to be limited somehow:
Bitten by an irridated spider, Peter Parker finds himself with the proportionate powers of an arachnid! He has metahuman levels of strength, speed and agility; he can cling to walls and other surfaces and has a "spider-sense" that serves as minor instinctual precognition, alerting him of immediate danger.
In addition, Peter has the added benefits of his new "black suit". Whilst he's yet to discover the full extent of this, the symbiote fortifies all his inherent powers whilst also providing organic web shooters on his hands adapted from his original mechanical ones. The suit responds to his thought and is able to manipulate its appearance and even retract completely from sight.
Non-superhuman special abilities of note (Is your character a master ventriloquist? A naturally-occurring super-genius? The best martial artist in the world? Say so here):
Peter's a whiz at applied sciences. He excelled at academia and even at a young age showed the resourcefulness capable of designing revolutionary new tech, most notably his web shooters and the adhesive compound that fuels them. These allow him to propel himself through the air, plug leakages or machinery and subdue and bind adversaries.
He also takes a mean picture and possesses some degree of proficiency at deduction.
