Peter "Mr. Parker" Parker (031095)

Peter "Mr. Parker" May Parker AKA Spider is a journalism professor who moonlights as the chosen one of an alien god nicknamed Jonah. He's from, and primarily works in, Earth-031095, though he's also a regular in Earth-134250 and often a helper in many other universes.

He cares deeply about his loved ones, like all Peters, but the demand of his purpose and the horrors that hes seen has turned him into a haggard and inhuman shell of his younger self, and often he only continues living due to his responsibilities. He's grown significantly more bitter and angry than his counterparts, in spite of their similar tendency for tragedy.

Personality
Mr. Parker is... a complicated figure, personality-wise. His confrontations with the world beyond what most people know has made him exhausted, angry, morally grey, deeply paranoid, and horrifyingly guilty, and has made his connection with humanity shaky at best. He's, at most points, only motivated to continue living by his responsibility to his patron. However, his friends, partners, and family have managed to pull him off the brink of destruction and to a significantly healthier outlook on life.

Even before his choosing, he was a lifelong workaholic who got antsy when he had to sit down and rest. He used to be curious to a fault, but that has punished him a whole lot over the years, so he's a lot more careful today. He's booksmart- freakishly so- but he often struggles with communication and social intelligence, and he can often be extremely self-destructive. He often eats very little and sleeps less than four hours a night.

Mr. Parker is extremely good at deadpanning absurd and horrific situations, coming off as aloof and distant. He's very adaptable, but he can be very stubborn when not in life-or-death situations. No matter how skilled he is, though, he will worry relentlessly after his loved ones and understate his own achievements.

He also possesses a quick wit and a feisty attitude, often attributed to his upbringing, though his years in academia has made it a rare sight. His main forms of anger are passive aggression and what most people consider edgy one liners, but he can be petty, annoying, and often blatantly rude if you push him too far. However, he has a strong belief in keeping his judgement to the content of your character, so at the very least most of his insults are tasteful.

Early Life
Mr. Parker was born on August 9th, 1880 to Mary and Richard Parker- two semi-popular scientists working in human biology. A month after Peter's birth the two were called for an emergency meeting across the country, and, while traveling, had a freak train accident, leaving Peter an orphan. He was adopted by his Aunt May and his Uncle Ben and soon adapted to the new home- currently, he only regards his orphan-hood as a distant tragedy.

He grew up an agreeable child, for the most part, but he was... odd. He often refused to eat anything outside of a scant 3 or 4 foods, he was incredibly anti-social, and he read with a strangely voracious passion. He got nearly all 100%s in school, but often got sent home for behavioral issues: specifically, for running out of the classroom when things got even slightly too loud.

Today, he regards these traits as what they were: blatantly obvious autism symptoms. He was often abused by his teachers and harassed by his peers for these actions, which began the intense masking he'd be doing for the rest of his life.

While he quickly straightened up his behavioral issues after a few traumatic incidents, Peter continued to have few real friends. He went into junior high a year early, sure, but he was abrasive and anti-social. May and Ben's poverty became increasingly obvious to to the preteen, and he began avoiding most foods again- not because he didn't like the textures or flavors, like before, but out of worry for his family's finances. His current avoidance can be linked back to this deeply-ingrained stressor- one of the many, many bad habits he gained from years of poverty.

He skipped another grade going into highschool, ending up significantly younger than most. This attracted more isolation and rejection from his peers, as well as a growth in his often-rude and often blatantly assholeish attitude. He grew a quick wit and a sharp tongue, and he became less of a victim of bullying and more like just a kid who got into too many fights. Due to his scrawny build and young age, he often lost those fights, ending up with almost permanent black eyes and broken noses throughout his highschool years.

In spite of his anger, he continued excelling in schoolwork, gaining a full ride to the University of Queens. He went to the college for Journalism, starting a short-lived internship with the Daily Bugle, but he was fired in three years due to his recklessness and because of repeated fights with his boss- one John Jonah Jameson. The rest of his college life would be spent working low-level cashier jobs.

He finished his Masters degree with flying colors at 22 years old, but the smattering of freelance and permanent positions he held over the next year would leave him dissatisfied. Inspired by some of his own professors, he went in for another degree- Higher Education. He was forced to pay for this one himself, and he would continue paying the loan off for nearly his entire life.

His teaching internships went significantly more smoothly, and he ended up with another Masters degree at 29. After another year, a position would open up at the University, and after one year as a TA he'd be promoted to a professor of journalism.

He quickly became friends with one Gwen Stacy, his coworker and a professor of Biological Engineering. Unlike most Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy relationships, this one was and is entirely ptatonic, outside of a single drunken kiss that caused Gwen to realize that she was a lesbian.

The next few years didn't go entirely smoothly, but they went normally, for the most part. Mr. Parker's life continued to be mostly lonely and isolated outside of a few family members, and he continued his own self-destructive habits. After four years, he was tenured, and he was fully convinced he'd continue as usual.

Fate had other plans.

Becoming the Spider
Six months after his tenureship, Mr. Parker had a nightmare. He woke up in a tunnel of autumnal trees in shades of grey, with monochrome leaves scattering the ground. He felt strangely compelled to walk forwards, and he did, though he did it carefully. He entered a clearing, and came apon a large- 20ft tall, at least- spiderlike being, surrounded by millions more silently working on various... historical artifacts? The large being began to speak, and Mr. Parker forgot to investigate further.

Mr. Parker has little to no memory of the exact script the being used, but he's sure he said something about fighting against its own kind, preserving the Earth, something along the lines of chosen one, and its title: the God of Metamorphosis. He woke up, and thought little to nothing of it. His blood sparked yellow, his hands stuck to almost everything, and he could crush almost everything with his bare hands. He blatantly ignored his new responsibilities for another 6 months, and honed his powers only to the point where he could live with them. The entire time, he hoped that it was a bad dream, or a paranoid delusion, or...

Anything except what he knew to be true. They were a long 6 months, and by the end he had almost convinced himself it was a delusion. Almost. He visited Ben- his uncle, and the only father figure he had ever known. He was found with his face torn half off, his clothes ripped, and with a vulture burrowing his beak inside his ribs. Mr. Parker wasn't scared- he couldn't be scared- he was just... angry. He ripped the bird in half

The same yellow blood in his veins dripped through his fingers. His anger melted to guilt, he cleaned up what he could, and he called Aunt May. And then the police, and after both came to inspect the body, he left.

He got back to his apartment. Thousands of spiders were looking back at him. He screamed out for The God of Metamorphosis, and finally took his rightful place as its chosen one. His fate had been sealed.
