DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO THIS?

TO BREATHE AND EAT AND DRINK OF THE EARTH LIKE A REAL BOY?

☾ — KAINE PARKER/SCARLET SPIDER is here! HE has found themselves wandering about new gotham attempting to find their place in this challenging world. they were once a ANTI-HERO who used to be associated with NEW WARRIORS/SPIDERFAM/SOLO.

hope they make it in this world.

the basics —

NAME: kaine parker

ALIASES: scarlet spider, houston’s spider-man, araña escarlata, 

AGE: 19

BIRTHDAY & ZODIAC: doesn’t have one & gemini

MBTI: entj

PREFERRED PRONOUNS: he & him

FACECLAIM: noah centineo

a deeper look —

FAMILY: miles warren (creator/father), peter parker (genetic template/brother), ben reilly (fellow clone/brother), may parker (aunt), spidercide (fellow clone, deceased), guardian (fellow clone, deceased), jack (fellow clone, deceased), spider-skeleton (fellow clone, deceased)

AFFILIATION: new warriors, spiderfam, solo

THREE FAVORITE THINGS: drinking cheap beer, swinging through the busy streets for several hours, sleeping in past noon

THREE HATED THINGS: his “father”, computers, being called a hero

EDUCATION: possesses memories of peter’s education

SKILLS: HAND-TO HAND COMBAT: uses an unusual type of free-style technique similar to that of spider-man, but has no qualms against fighting in a more brutal style MULTILINGUAL: can speak english, spanish, and japanese   KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY.

WEAPONS: a blade that extends out of each wrist of his suit

ABILITIES: MARK OF KAINE: has a deformity in his hands. he can leave a severe burn mark on a person by making skin-to-skin contact with them. he typically leaves this mark across a person's face, though it is presumed he can do the same to other parts of the body. non-offensive usage of this power allows Kaine to easily burn his long hair (along with his beard) to a shorter length without burning himself in the process. ORGANIC WEBBING GENERATION: the ability to produce his own silk webbing from glands within his forearms. PSYCHIC ALIGNMENT WITH SPIDERS: a method of creating a psychic alignment to become empathetic and develop a relationship with spiders and insects. essentially talking to them. IMMUNE TO SPIDER-MAN’S SPIDER-SENSE: due to their sharing the same dna, spider-man's spider-sense recognizes kaine as "self.” SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH: able to lift up to 60 tons. his strength extends into his powerful leg muscles, allowing him to leap heights and distances in excess of human capability. kaine generally has no restraints on using his super-strength against enemies with typical human durability, and as such, is capable of severely injuring enemies with normal attacks. SUPERHUMAN SPEED: capable of running and moving at speeds that are beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. SUPERHUMAN STAMINA: kaine's augmented musculature is much more efficient than that of a normal human being. as a result, his muscles produce lesser amounts of fatigue toxins during physical activity than do those of ordinary humans. he can exert himself physically at peak capacity for at least several hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood begins to impair him. SUPERHUMAN DURABILITY: his bodily tissues are resistant to powerful impact or blunt force trauma. he can withstand impacts, such as falling from several stories, being repeatedly struck with superhuman force or by several powerful energy blasts, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no injury himself. REGENERATIVE HEALING FACTOR: his physiology was augmented with a limited healing factor. SUPERHUMAN AGILITY: kaine's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. in spite of his increased size and mass, kaine is still just as agile as spider-man. SUPERHUMAN REFLEXES: reflexes are similarly enhanced and are more efficient than those of an ordinary human by a factor of fifteen. WALL-CRAWLING: able to stick to virtually any surface and crawl across it. his mental control over this ability has been increased to such a degree, he can rip a wall down just by tugging at it hard enough with his palms.

the questionnaire —

WHAT IS SOMETHING YOUR CHARACTER LIKES ABOUT NEW GOTHAM? SOMETHING THEY DISLIKE? DO THEY MISS THE WAY THINGS WERE - OR DO THE LIKE HOW THE WORLD IS NOW? IS IT WEIRD TO THEM TO SEE MULTIPLE TYPES OF PEOPLE AND CREATURES AROUND? OR ARE THEY USED TO IT? WERE THEY ORIGINALLY FROM ONE OF THE TWO MAIN CITIES - OR SOMEWHERE ELSE?

kaine doesn’t care about seeing otht creatures around, not feeling like he has the right to make such judgments. he likes that being in new gotham is another chance to live an actual life. he had been through a lot of traumatic events, and never actually got the chance to enjoy the life he has been given. nobody expects anything from him here in this city which is perfect to blend in. he doesn’t think his life will ever be normal, always convincing himself to help out someone in need. he can just be kaine here if he wanted to. which is all the boy needs. kaine was created in a test tube somewhere in new york, but after making his escape from his creator after being rejected — the clone settled in houston, texas. he didn’t plan on staying there, but they had been so excited about having their own hero that eventually kaine stayed until the change happened. so yes, he does have a southern accent.

WHERE WAS YOUR CHARACTER WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED? ARE THEY SUSPICIOUS OF EVERYONE OR ARE THEY TRYING TO REMAIN UNDER THE RADAR? HAVE THEY REUNITED WITH THEIR FRIENDS OR ARE THEY LOST? WERE THEY AT HOME IN BED? OUT PATROLLING THE STREETS? IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR? WHAT’S HAPPENED TO THEM NOW?

kaine doesn’t trust anyone except a select few. it’s just part of his thing. his list of people he lowers his guard around is small — ben and peter being at the top of the list and any other members of the spiderfam that his brothers seem to trust. he has been rejected, and ridiculed for being made so he doesn’t know how to figure out who‘s actually being genuine with their kindness. he’ll get there, just be patient with him. kaine may be suspicious of strangers and their intentions, but he’s a good friend.

he was in bed when everything happened, passed out in his scarlet spider suit after helping out the local police on a case. he’s just kind of following around ben wherever he goes for now far as living arrangements go. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION —

ANYTHING YOU WANT US TO KNOW? ANY HEADCANONS?

origin —

kaine is a clone of peter parker.

he was miles warren’s first attempt at cloning peter. the jackal initially thought it was a success, but kaine would become deformed due to a flaw in the cloning process. the boy would continue to degenerate — he was left deformed and mentally unstable.

the jackal allows the clone to live as a test subject. he wanted to see how long kaine would survive, and to his surprise ends up exceeding his expectations.

kaine grows to experience a strong feeling of rejection similar to one that would arise between a father and son. miles warren tries to dispose of the clone by throwing him into the trash heap of his other failed experiments. kaine ends up escaping of course, which made all the other clones in the facility happy to see. the spider developed some of peter’s abilities, but also some of his own.

for a long time kaine believes that he didn’t deserve to have a life for himself. he didn’t know how to have one. he felt broken, angry, and like a monster.

kaine made a decision to settle down in mexico, but ended up living in houston, texas instead. every time he tried to leave something pulled him into staying. the civilians are who started calling him the SCARLET SPIDER. he was their first hero — much to the clone’s hatred of that word. he tries to live up to what peter has done, but it’s a work in progress.

eventually kaine came across a cure that stabilized his dna. he was no longer deformed, and looks like the perfect clone of peter. miles warren continues to see kaine as a disappointment after this, still thinking that the clone deserves to stay in the trash heap.

he has a tattoo that wraps around his entire left bicep, and he stands tall at six foot four.

equipment —

kaine’s scarlet spider costume is known as a stealth suit. it allows him to become completely invisible and capable of sound cancelling abilities. the suit is also fireproof, and can heal itself when torn. there’s also a blade that can come out of the wrists of the suit which come in handy in hand-to-hand combat. he brought his suit with him since he was wearing it at the time when brought over.

[clonedspidr]

where are they currently staying? kaine is currently staying at the baxter building. is there anything unique/specific to their room? there’s almost always webs stuck against one of the walls or the ceiling. kaine takes advantage of the fact his body generates it’s own silk. between the two clones it’s not a surprise that they both would contribute to leaving a webbed mess behind. you can tell that spiders live there. he isn’t afraid to hang off any surface of their room.
 are they living near or with anyone else? kaine is sharing a room with his older brother and fellow clone, ben. they choose to stay at baxter since it’s closer to peter and mj. kaine doesn’t have much, but he wants to keep his little family that he’s found close. do they have any pets or animals currently living with them? no. have they done anything to make this feel homey? and if so, what? kaine has never had a home to truly know what it feels like for a place to feel like one. he knows how to gather supplies for survival, but never tried decorating. he’d rather have his brothers than things. kaine is keeping his side of the room simple. he has a few blankets, but that’s about it for now. is there anything from the outside world they were able to find or bring with? all he was able to bring was his scarlet spider suit. he’s attached to it since the peter from his reality made it. what do they wish they could have with them for comfort? kaine would give anything for a margarita.

[clonedspidr]

champagne

does your muse drink (alcohol)? are they a heavy drinker, if so?

Kaine does drink. He turns to alcohol to avoid talking about his problems and as a way to cope with all of the traumatic experiences he has been through. It’s not a PROBLEM to be concerned with, only turning to the vice when something triggers him. He has a certain weakness to alcohol genetically — something to do with his spider physiology. One beer would be enough to get him DRUNK, and three makes him pass out.

SO — Kaine isn’t a heavy drinker, his body just processes alcohol differently than everyone else.

[clonedspidr]

anise, burnt umber, black (or all of them xoxo)

when it comes to self-care, what does your muse do to take care of themselves? do they take care to spend time on it, or do they feel they don’t deserve it?

This one is TRICKY. Kaine for the longest time never felt like taking care of himself because he was DYING so what was the point? His body was in constant pain that was felt in every nerve of his body. His body was going through a process of degeneration, and the whole experience was incredibly painful. His own creator didn’t want to help CURE him so he was left to accept his fate. This left him reckless, not thinking too much about what happens to him.

BY SOME MIRACLE Kaine was dipped into a cure which ended the pain he felt every minute of each day. He was so used to being told how BROKEN he is that he ends up believing that he doesn’t deserve to exist. He’s in a state of mind NOW trying to move past that, but the clone is one to ignore his own injuries physically and his trauma.

The short answer is that Kaine doesn’t do any self-care. He relies on his healing factor to save him if he’s ever bleeding.

how stable is your muse, mentally and/or emotionally?

Kaine is NOT stable.

The majority of his life has been filled with one traumatic experience after another. He ignored his own emotions about it all — hiding it underneath a blanket of ANGER. This wasn’t the healthiest way to cope, but it was all he would come to know. He might never be completely stable mentally, but for the first time in his short life there’s hope for a fraction of peace. Kaine has a long journey ahead of him to find stability, but he has a support system now.

There’s a childlike wonder to him figuring out that it’s OKAY to feel emotions outside of that anger, and that he’s allowed to take up space. Kaine is still too quick to volunteer to stab anyone or anything that comes close to his new family. He would even go far enough as to burn off the flesh of someone that steps toward any of them with ill intent.

Kaine has a lot to work on, but he’s GETTING THERE.

does your muse have a ‘bucket list?’ list some things your muse wants to accomplish before they die.

He doesn’t have one, but if asked Kaine would only write one thing down.

— MAKE PETER AND BEN PROUD OF ME.

THE QUESTIONNAIRE —

IN THE LAST YEAR SINCE THANOS WAS DEFEATED, WHAT HAS YOUR CHARACTER BEEN DOING?

kaine is from an alternate reality, and he has been continuing to protect houston before he was brought over to this one. he doesn’t know how to fit in, never been part of a family or had many friends. he is only recently coming to terms with that just maybe he deserves to have a life of his own. kaine never thought of himself as a superhero, but maybe now it’s time to be one after learning about the threat of galactus. 

WHAT HAS YOUR CHARACTER LEARNED IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE DECIMATION AND THE DEFEAT OF THANOS?

heroism never appealed to kaine, but the more he learns about what happened here the boy realizes you don’t have to be a traditional hero to make a difference. he respects the strength of everyone coming together. 

A NEW THREAT ON THE WORLD LOOMS NEAR, SO TELL US – WHAT DOES YOUR CHARACTER FIGHT FOR?

the boy isn’t sure yet, but with the potential to find a family finally over the horizon that could be something to fight for. he has never had a place in the world, and will fight to keep it once he finds it. warning: might involve some hair pulling.

kaine rescues a fifteen year old girl named aracely from human traffickers. he left her at a hospital, but after finding out they were planning on deporting he takes her in himself. he didn’t want that to happen to aracely. she reminds him that it’s okay to be soft sometimes, and actually feel things. 

eventually kaine came across a cure that stabilized his dna. he was no longer deformed, and looks like the perfect clone of peter. miles warren continues to see kaine as a disappointment after this, still thinking that the clone deserves to stay in the trash heap. 

he has a tattoo that wraps around his entire left bicep, and he stands tall at six foot four. something pulled him into this other reality which confuses him being brought back to a version of new york, but he’s good at starting over. 

did i mention he had a texan accent? he totally does.

what sorts of things might remind your muse of those close to them? 

The first sentimental item that Kaine ever owned was a BLUE HOODIE. It reminded him of his older brother — and to be a better person like HIM. He wore it sometimes making errands around Houston. It was held onto even though it was something he just FOUND in his travels. While Kaine doesn’t make FRIENDS easily, he took someone in once who noticed that just looking at the hoodie would calm him down even though he never told her WHY it meant so much to him. She ended up wearing it so Kaine would be in a better mood more often.

SAD HEADCANON —

kaine suffers from abandonment issues.

his creator chronically lied to him so he would stay obedient. when the clone was fresh out of his tube he was quick to view miles warren as his father, doing whatever would please him. he only wanted his love. nothing was ever enough though, even if he was in constant pain and dying. miles was never going to cure him as he promised. he had no remorse in abandoning his creation.

kaine has since been cured of his ailments, but the feeling of being rejected by the man who gave him life really hurt even if he never expresses it. he didn’t believe that he deserved a life of his own, not sure who he could trust, and for a long time felt like a monster.

deep down he just wants love, to be part of a family, and have someone accept him. kaine doesn’t know how to express it rationally, but wonders if he’s really just ‘a heap of genetic trash’ as miles tells him or if he deserves to live as a real boy.
