Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karl Green" data-source="post: 1816385" data-attributes="member: 1467">SPYDERDavid Johnson was born to fairly mundane parents in <base city where we are starting> on a cold January morning, twenty-two years ago at Mercy General. His father was a social worker for the state and his mother a lawyer for Smith and Bracken, a minor law firm, yet one of the most predominate pro-bono firms in the city. They instilled in him a strong sense of right and wrong, of justice for the 'little guy', and of doing the right thing whenever he could.  David was normal looking and happy for the first 18 years of his life, until one terrible night… David had just started college at Midtown Community College, and got a night job as a local convenient store to help pay for school. The two kids who came to rob the store that night were hopped up on "Mega" a designer drug that gave them the sense that they were superhuman backed up with some temporary minor powers. They smashed the cash register and were in the process of smashing David's face into the ground when his meta-mutant gene activated and he threw them off of him as if they were rage dolls. Seeing his reflecting in the mirror, David panic and fled… thinking he was a monster. It took him a long time to come to terms with what he has become, but he ran with a number of street mutants who hide from the rest of normal society for a while. Most of them hated 'normals', but one, a young woman who called herself 'Night Rose' taught him to be better then that. She saw beauty in the world around her and made him see it to. They eventually became lovers and David was happy for the first time in a very long time. Recently, Rose has left the city to seek out her parents. David wanted to go with her, but she explained that it was something that she had to do herself. She promised that she would return as soon as she could, and make David promise that he would "not go back into hiding from the rest of the world. That you will instead seek it out and embrace it. Live, and be happy" David re-applied and was accepted back into Midtown Community College, taking some computer and history classes. He is struggling to be more open and to try and talk with people, determined to live up to the promise he made to Rose. David has always had a very strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to protecting innocent people against those who would take advantage of them or seek to hurt them simply because they have the power to do so. He is determined to live up to the ideals of heroism that Rose helped him rediscover in himself.         PL: 10 [150PP]Real Name (secret ID): David JohnsonAge: 22Height: 5' 10"Weight: 182 lbsHair Color: blackEye Color: multi-facetted, bug like (normal size, usually wears glasses)Description and Costume: In Secret ID usually wears cheap causal clothing and sunglasses even at night.
