#Mateo O’Hara Octavius

[mayo-productions]

Dearest Arachnopi enjoyers, may I introduce to you: MATEO O’HARA OCTAVIUS!!

Mateo lives in Nueva York with his Tio Gabriel as his parents died in a deadly fire at Alchemex a year after he was born. To Mateo, his parents Miguel O’Hara and May Octavius live on through photographs and family stories but as he grows up he desperately craves that connection to them. He soon falls upon the theory of the multiverse and being good with tech he begins to prototype a multiverse traveling device in the hopes of being able to find a universe where his parents are alive and in a relationship. In the meantime, he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes Nueva York’s one and only SpiderVen!!

As SpiderVen, Mateo fights crime and tries to control his new powers while simultaneously trying to finish his many tech projects and not raise any red flags to his tio. His “venomous” mode, while very powerful with the poison, fangs, and claws, is very hard for him to control so he can’t rely on it too often. To this, he proposes a small technical update to his suit:

He prototypes portable mechanical actuators, which at the end of the day becomes just as hard to control as his venomous mode. But like his parents, he’s stubborn and will stop at nothing to reach the perfection he knows he can achieve.

After months of work, Mateo gets his dimensional goober functioning and he searches for dimension matches where varients of his parents are together in any form of a relationship. To his surprise there’s only one, a dimensional crossover where his dad is Spider-Man and his mom is Doc Ock. Ignoring that relationships across dimensions should be impossible, Mateo is overjoyed and finally sets off on his mission to meet his parents!

WEEEEE MATEO IS REAL!!! I now await whatever reaction the public shall have. Jeez I should not be as attached to him as I am LOL. I haven’t drawn him much but I now have his story and the end of Arachnopi brewing in my head at all times, someone save me from these losers they’ve taken over my mind /hj. Anyways just gonna ramble now, enjoy :)

First of all, I know the name’s a mouth full LMAO. Both last names are just iconic so I had to keep em both. And obviously I had to give him another M name like his parents

Ok so I actually haven’t had the chance to read the 2099 comics (I KNOW IM SO SORRY FORGIVE ME FELLOW MIGUEL ENJOYERS) but I do know Miguel has a brother Gabriel so I used him as the parental figure for Mateo bc I can’t just have a 14 year old kid living by himself lol

The dimension numbers are literally random, I’m hoping that’s already not a real dimension in the spiderverse.

He obviously has notes of both Miguel and May in all aspects of his design, but I also wanted to make him his own dude so I gave him the eyebrow slit and earrings. I’m leaning towards him to be more reckless and an energetic handful, aka giving his “parents” more chances to scold him and act like actual guardians

ok his actual parents were in their late twenties and mid thirties when they had Mateo, aka NOT the age our Arachnopi is. Our Arachnopi is NOT fit to be in charge of a teen. It’s gonna be a tough learning experience for everyone lol

his actual parents were obviously not a hero and villain, they are civilian variants of May and Miguel who fell in love and had a kid. Despite them literally dying, they are the ideal happy ending of Arachnopi, our Arachnopi will not be so lucky… (mwahaha)

Even tho this is an ocxcanon ship, my brain is accidentally separating the Miguel I use for Arachnopi from the real Miguel from Atsv that I irl (unfortunately) still crush on. Idk how that’s even happening but I’m still trying hard to write him as canonical as possible, which is why after a while of Mateo being with them he [REDACTED DUE TO SPOILERS].

I can go on FOR AGES about what this means for Arachnopi but I’m gonna stop myself before I even start lol. So yeah, now we’ve got this barely functional multiversal family trying to enjoy the calm before the storm that is their fates. No I will not explain >:]

Super messy Arachnopi family animatic!! (since I have so much inspo for them yet not enough time to fully animate things lol)

Yes I casually skipped to the end of their story, no I will not explain what is/has happened. That’s your job to figure out >;]
