HISTORY
Family History: Peter never really knew his parents, and only one person really close to him is still alive. The closest person to a father he has ever known is long since dead, but he has, even in death, become a shaping character in Peter's life. Ben Parker's murder became the birth of the hero Spider-man.
Personal History:Peter was orphaned at a young age, but he was taken in by his uncle Ben and aunt May. When he was 14, Peter's uncle Ben was killed by a carjacker while picking Peter up from what he thought was a trip to the library. In truth, Peter had been using his newly acquired abilities to win money in a WWE-style wrestling tournament. Peter lived with his aunt May until he began to mutate and was taken into the Xavier school.

SAMPLES
In-Character Journal Sample: Today was my first day teaching, and I've gotta say, it's a strange thing. I never would have thought twenty years ago that I'd be teaching mutant children how to build electromagnets. Oh, I shouldn't say "children". They're re really not. Hell, one of them was pregnant! She was a really sweet girl, though. And there's this girl I'm going to be tutoring. She calls herself "Rogue", and she's just got the sweetest smile. And she's coming over tonight. Hopefully I don't give her the wrong impression. I'm not sure if I was too forward, inviting her over and everything.

Oh well, it's too late to worry about that now. She'll be here soon. Jack and I are in the shop waiting for her.
In-Character (3rd Person) RP Sample: "I know you've all heard the rumors, and let me assure you they are 100% true," Tony Stark began, "This thing in my chest is the only reason I'm alive."

The class wasn't really surprised by the admission. They had all heard it before, but still they wondered how it was possible. Tony loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt to reveal numerous rather nasty-looking scars crisscrossing his chest.

"I got these in Afghanistan in 2007," he told them, "I was demonstrating a new weapon I had designed for the Air Force, a missile codenamed 'Jericho'. The test fire I did for them was flawless, and a group of terrorists happened across the intel that said I was in the area. On our way back from the test site, the convoy I was riding with was attacked, and I got these," Tony continued on and gestured to the scars on his chest.

"When I woke up, I was in a cave, and an old man had put this," he pointed to the arc reactor in his chest, "in my chest. It was a much simpler design, he did, but it worked. This man, Yinsin was his name, saved me by hooking an electromagnet up to a car battery. He said to me, 'Stark, you've got shrapnel on its way to your heart. Around here, we call your kind the Walking Dead. This electromagnet will keep you alive for now.'

"That's where Iron Man Mark 1 came from, as well. The terrorists wanted me to build a Jericho for them, and I agreed, but set to work on this instead."

Pausing in his speech, he walked over to his large cart of supplies and tools, and with a great deal of effort took out a gigantic silver arm. It crashed to the table with a loud clang as he lost his grip on it, and the hand remained closed.

"This, class, is the first piece of Iron Man technology that was ever built, the right hand of Iron Man Mark 1. When I built this, I was looking for a quick escape, and that's what I got. I equipped this bad boy with a flamethrower, and made it heavy enough to pack one hell of a punch. And now, with the infusion of Arc technology, this," he paused again and brought out a similar device, though smaller and painted in the trademark gold and red, and opened the hand before continuing, "is what we have today. Iron Man, Mark 3. It's lighter, stronger, and runs on the nearly unlimited power of Arc energy.

"This suit is powered by the same Arc reactor that's in my chest. Arc is the pinnacle of clean, renewable energy, and by the end of this semester, you're all going to have built one for yourselves."
Anything Else You Want Us To Know: Not that I can think of.

Tell us about a plot you want to run/participate in: With this character, I can't think of much. Maybe the black suit, but otherwise nothing comes to mind. At least, nothing that can be done without some other player characters.
