Spider Society RPG

What is the Arachnid Society?

The Spider Society is an elite force founded and led by Miguel O'Hara, the Spider-Man of an alternate universe set in the future. They are an organization of Spider-Men from different alternate dimensions whose mission is to preserve the multiverse from any possible threat. Their base of operations is a gigantic building in New York, Earth-928, known as Spider-Headquarters, in which the facilities range from cafeterias, training areas, laboratories, dormitories and offices. Fully equipped for any emergency or need.

Miguel O'hara - Appearance

He is a thirty-five-year-old adult man of Mexican-Irish descent, with a muscular build and quite tall, standing 2.06 cm tall, which is intimidating to some, with dark skin and short dark brown hair. Dark brown eyes that sometimes turn red when feeling very angry. With prominent fangs and a stern look that makes clear his distant and serious personality.

Miguel O'Hara - Personality

At first, Miguel displayed a very sarcastic attitude. He spoke coldly, even when Lyla told him that his multiverse-jumping device could kill him. He also displayed a hyperactive personality that didn't think twice before acting, sometimes getting carried away when someone insulted him or something similar. Miguel was also shown to be passionate about science, initially creating Gizmo and the Spider Society to defend the multiverse from any threats. Miguel is a perfectionist, always seeking order and structure, and maintaining stability within the multiverse. He has a clear moral vision and leads the Spider Society. Following his failure to prevent the destruction of an alternate dimension, Miguel was emotionally affected by the event, becoming an overworked leader of the Spider-Society who tried to ensure that all canonical events in the different universes occurred at all costs. After that, he became very serious and reserved, easily stressed, and judgmental of newcomers who tried to join his group. This also implied that Miguel didn't take much pride in what he did. Sometimes he even doubted whether what he did was right, but according to him, if he didn't do these things, no one would. This shows that, after the destruction of that universe, Miguel became obsessed with protecting the Multiverse at all costs, leaving behind the happy and sarcastic man he once was. Although, despite being serious and reserved, Miguel deep down cares about helping people in need, but he lost sight of who Spider-Man is supposed to be. Furthermore, Miguel promised Peter B. that he would not tell Miles Morales the truth about his anomaly status or capture him. However, Miguel secretly intended to break half of his promise, as he attempted to capture Miles, but tried to keep the other part of the promise.

However, several months later, Jessica became strict, stoic, and harsh, even towards Gwen, especially since she reminded her of all the warnings she gave her.

When she meets Miles again a year later, she attempts to go into hiding, but this time to prevent her words from hurting him, as she is terrified of telling him about the "canon event" involving her father and her status as an "anomaly."

His potential is recognized by those around him, but his own self-doubt leads him to believe he is undeserving of his new position at Brooklyn Visions Academy. Miles's road to accepting his new role as New York's protector was, despite being brief, a bumpy one. Along with his own misgivings about school, Miles was plagued by doubts and fears about how to accept his new abilities. With the support of his new friends, his uncle, and his father, Miles finally found the courage to take the biggest leap of faith of his life. Now empowered and determined to excel, Miles began to take an active role in school and fight crime in New York City with more confidence as Spider-Man. Throughout this process, Miles was brave and also often stubborn, insisting that, despite his inexperience, he would be the one to destroy the collider, both to keep his promise to his world's Spider-Man and to ensure that none of the trapped Spider-People would have to risk their lives by staying for the task.

He naturally connects with Gwen's musical talent as a drummer, as well as Pavitr's youthful and carefree nature. Hobie and Gwen are close friends, and Hobie lets Gwen seek refuge at his house. He also immediately connects with Miles, whom he had heard about from Gwen before meeting him. While Miles antagonized Hobie at first, believing his friendship with Gwen to be more than just a friendship, this faded when Miles quickly warmed to him, as Hobie wholeheartedly supported him in his tendency to act on his own, praising him for saving Inspector Singh and offering advice on how to effectively use his venom powers. When the Spider Society turned against Miles, Hobie was the only one to help him escape, reiterating the advice he had given him earlier and leaving the society right after the chase began.

He believes that proclaiming himself a hero is negative, calling it "self-mythologizing" and "narcissism," which is part of what puts him at odds with the Spider Society.
