Talents / Specialities:
Simon Kent is still a school student (age 10 as of 2023), and possesses the ‘Student’* talent.
Simon has also picked up the Speciality of Investigation through his work with CIRCUS.
Powers:
Araknoid is an Artificial origin character. He is a lab experiment combining the DNA of the deceased superhero Solfugid with that of his arch-enemy Star Marine, along with a "mystery component" believed to be of Alien origin. Araknoid was then grown in a test tube and stored in a vat before emerging at the apparent age of 10 when the laboratory in which he was housed was destroyed in a battle between CIRCUS and members of The Carnival of Ultimate Evil.
- WALL CRAWLING (Decent): Araknoid can cling to sheer surfaces including ceilings by virtue of his peculiar putty-like flesh and microscopic filaments exuded from his skin.
- DANGER SENSE (Fantastic): Araknoid has a very limited form of ESP which allows him to anticipate possible futures. This functions as Danger Sense but only to substitute for Intuition and Psyche rolls.
- UNDERRATED: As a child, and a precocious one, villains (and some allies) treat Araknoid as an annoying brat rather than a serious foe. This confers a +2RS bonus on any avoidance rolls made by Araknoid's player, including Dodge.
Contacts:
The secret crimefighting organization CIRCUS for whom Araknoid exclusively works.
Mathemagus, the Financial Wizard (retired superhero), an acquaintance who occasionally calls on Araknoid for help but also is happy to provide information or advice at any time.
Limitations:
- Hunted by MEDUSA: The secret criminal organization MEDUSA hunts Araknoid full time to make use of his unique DNA in their experiments as well as vivisect him to analyze his powers.
Notes:
Despite his bizarre origin, Araknoid is a happy and very well adjusted boy. He has many friends although no close school friends. He keeps his identity secret and when not adventuring just does normal kid stuff whenever possible.
