Character Application
Character you would like to play: Dr. Otto Octavius
Powers:
-Genius intellect, -4 robotic arms which respond to brain feeds.
Basic history of the character (Up until this point): Otto Octavius is a respected scientist, although socially awkward and paranoid.
Why Have You Chosen That Character?: The character has always intrigued me, as a complex, but ultimately sad character, with regrets, emotions, desperation and possibly mental illness. Bringing him into this universe could not just tie him into some plot tie-ins like spidey villains (particularly Norman Osborn or kingpin, and of course sinister 6 in something like 2 seasons), the mob and spidey himself, but more of the whole spider-man AND marvel universe also, i buelt him up and did a lot of set-up back in the day, but i was not here for a lot of time. i planned on making him full-blown doc ock in the next 2 posts, and later, now that Sandman, Mac Gargan and Shocker are established, me and andy planned on making quite a sinister team...
What Do You Plan On Doing With This Character (IE: How are you changing him or her?): when he'll be Octavius, I'll make him pretty much like what Eddie Brock and Rain Dog did with him, although I'll show some more darker sides of him and some clues and allusions to his future self. When he'll be all dr. octopus,I will make him darker, give him a motivation for revenge (kill the men who ruined him), give him a more vicious/more mature side, make him more realistic in looks, personality and history and make him a less cheesy, more believable villain with some human aspects to his persona. He can be a character that will tie several threads (Spiderman? Mobsters like Big Man, Kingpin and such?)
Two Complete Sentences Explaining What You Can Bring To This RPG (As a Player): A full-blown, 100% working villain, a dedicated player and a plot tier. I could also help continue the story itself, and i'm an amateur writer, i even got a page from an old script of mine reviewed by a journalist who said it's pretty good, and i write some stories from time to time...
Please provide a small sample post in the format you wish to portray your character in (Minimum three paragraphs/one line of dialogue, maximum six paragraphs):
Basic history of the character (Up until this point): Otto Octavius is a respected scientist, although socially awkward and paranoid.
Otto has also recently built his most famous and amazing creation: a harness that straps to the back and belly parts of the body with four lmb-like mechanical appartuses, linked to his brain via a mechanical headband, and giving Octavius the oppurtunity to send feeds from hsi brain to the arms, "telling" them what to do. he experimented with Cold-fusion, with tragic results, as his public image as a scientist was severley damaged, his assistant and girlfriend, Mary-Alice, died and he was fired by Seward Trainer. as of now, he is in shambles, and will do everything to prove he was right

Otto walks in the street, wearing a black trench coat, a brown hat and glasses, the scars under his eyes visible in their grotesque glory. He tries to hide them, looking down, but with no avail. He looks up to the big building, with the big neon sign saying "St. Crispin's hospital".
He braches the door and throws the trench coat away. It reveals a black impact, bulletproof vest, a green Kevlar jumpsuit and 4 metal appendages, with small scraps of metal falling from them. He takes a nurse into chokehold with an appendage.
"I need one thing, and I'm going to make it very simple to you, as it's seems you're not too bright. I need you to bring me one kilo of bone marrow. You see, these "arms" here, hey are not only feeding on my brain," he says as he points at a metal brace at his forehead, which has skin growing on it, and attached to 4 wires that are going under the jumpsuit, into a bump in the belly area that looks like a harness, "it's feeding off my spine. You will be the LAST to die, so I'll make you watch all your colleagues DIE, if you won't bring me what I need."
A doctor enters the room and chuckles. Otto looks at him and sneers. An "arm" of his ascends to the doctor, and a submachine-gun slowly rises from its rear, pointing the gunpoint at the poor, sniveling and sweating doctor. The doctor takes the tool table to a big white room and than stands outside, takes his cell phone and phones 911.
Otto moves his hand forward, and an arm passes right by the cell phone, takes it and crushes it with mighty force. He then says to the doctor in a frustrated tone
"You think you can just fool me, right? Then, if you do, you are truly a moronic, illiterate Neanderthal, and you will NOT fool Dr. Octopus, you DEGENERATE!"
Suddenly, the sound of sirens is heard, and blue and red lights are reflecting in the window. Otto starts to twitch and starts to run, his arms supporting him. He slams the doctor, holding a different phone, in the head, and escapes into a room. He takes a bag, filled with bone marrow, and runs out of the hospital. "Yet again, my mission fails, but if I die, I'm taking this whole city down with me
