Face claim: Charlie Rowe
Distinguishing marks: his web shooters, which he’s modified to look something like a watch or a fitbit and can wear with his everyday clothes. a smattering of freckles. (there’s a lot of fanart of him with a very specific freckle pattern and i think it’s cute i’m keeping it). surprisingly very buff under all that flannel.
Tattoos: none
Voice / Accent: American; a bit raspy, a bit of an old-school New York accent (comes out stronger when he’s stressed or in the suit; he’s genuinely not sure if this is subconscious or a disguise choice) -- I use Yuri Lowenthal in the games as a voice claim <3
Clothing style: lol. baggy sweatshirts, worn-in flannels, graphic t-shirts, battered converse. sometimes inexplicably a lot of black turtlenecks. right at that intersection between respectably disheveled nerd and skater boy grunge. he wears his suit underneath his everyday clothes most of the time.

Habits: u know that thing of just being really fidgety all the time & drumming your fingers on every available surface & jittering your leg up and down? yeah that
Past
Hometown: Forest Hills, Queens, New York, USA
Childhood: Pete’s mother, Mary, died when he was young, and he was raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May (he never knew his father). He got his powers at 15; Ben died when he was 15; the two things are related; it’s a sore spot. It’s been him and May since. (And, apparently, his father, Tony Stark, trying to get in the picture)
Dream job: fully-funded scientist/researcher (maybe a professor? maybe working at/running his own tech company? maybe winning some awards? who knows!)
Education: graduated Midtown High at the top of his class; BA in Biochemical Engineering from Empire State University; currently pursuing a PhD
Family
Partner: n/a
Children: n/a
Mother: Mary Fitzpatrick Parker
Relationship: Mary had Peter very young, and she died before he started school. He doesn’t remember her much or well, but what he does is good. He knows he was very very loved.
Father: Tony Stark
Relationship: Lol. Tony was never a part of Peter’s life, and he was fine with that. He didn’t believe that his father was actually Tony Stark, and the man didn’t make an appearance until after Ben died. They’re still quite estranged and terse, but they’re... maybe working towards... something resembling a relationship?
Aunt: May Reilly Parker
Relationship: Pete considers May his mother; they’re extremely close, and he tries to have dinner with her at least once a week, if he remembers. Or makes time. He’s very protective of her, and she’s very protective of him, and they support each other in everything--it’s just the two of them, it has to be.
Uncle: Ben Parker (deceased)
Relationship: Ben is who Pete would call his real father/figure. The man raised him, despite never wanting children of his own. They were very very close, even if Ben could get a bit gruff and standoffish and didn’t entirely understand his booksmart genius little nephew (and Pete could get angry and hole himself up in his room with books for days at a time). Peter can’t forgive himself for letting Ben die. Everything he does is in his memory.
Present
Current location: Manhattan, New York
Currently living with: n/a (pete lives in a tiny shoebox studio apartment by himself and with a rotating number of good old fashioned new york city roaches and rats. it’s a mess.)
Pets: n/a
Occupation: Graduate student at ESU
Religion: jewish, somewhere in the mostly secular reform/reconstructionist vein (had a bar mitzvah, celebrates the major holidays, not much else)
Political Affiliation: peter parker voted for bernie sanders change my mind (democrat, views voting as a flawed by necessary responsibility bc he unfortunately cannot punch his way into systemic change) (spider-man has been anti-cop, pro-prison abolition, pro-union, and pretty active with civil rights movements since the late 1960s we’re proud of him)
Health
physical ailments: genetically mutated spider dna? bad back? one time he gave himself a stress ulcer love that for him; weirdly predisposed to colds
neurological conditions: all undiagnosed bc this bitch won’t see a therapist but! anxiety, depression, ptsd, likely adhd
allergies: none that he knows of
sleeping habits: hahahahahahahaha
eating habits: his metabolism is absurdly fast, his exercise regimen out of control, and his wallet can’t keep up. he doesn’t have the time, resources, energy, or skills to cook for himself often (though he can do an ok stir fry), so he mostly gets by on inexpensive takeout and frozen meals. he’s particularly fond of pizza and thai food
exercise habits: mostly just patrol/spider-man duties/swinging around the city with nothing but his upper body and core strength; he’ll sometimes work out to stay in shape and burn energy
emotional stability: no.
sociability: he has friends, but he’s always considered himself a loner. he’s better at making plans than keeping them, and has an advanced degree in self-sabotaging his relationships. he’s good for a movie night (if he bothers to show up or doesn’t jump out the window halfway through), but if he starts to feel threatened, the walls go up, and the bridges get burned
body temperature: slightly warmer than average
addictions: arguably, being spider-man
drug use: not really?
alcohol use: nothing extensive; a little socially, but very rarely, and particularly won’t drink around harry. needs to stay alert to be spidey at a moment’s notice. he’s been known to literally order milk at a bar. i hate him.
Favorites:
weather: the way i’m tempted to say broody and rainy. no. like a nice crisp autumn day with a little bit of a breeze and a nice amount of sun and pretty leaves
color: red
music: alt- and indie-rock, mostly; he also listened to a lot of 70s and 80s music with ben and still enjoys it
movies: schlocky sci-fi and fantasy (he’s big fan of zombieland, star wars, and lotr)
sport: baseball
beverage: cheap black burnt coffee
food: aunt may’s wheat cakes <3 and a good bagel with schmear
animal: he is…. not actually….. really much of an animal person….. but he will cross the street to pet a good dog and enjoys other people’s cats
Extra
what’s in his edc (everyday carry): inside the same battered and lovingly patched-up navy jansport he’s had since his senior year of high school: headphones (tangled), cell phone (broken), laptop (cracked), chargers, pack of gum (half-empty), clif bar, spare web cartridges, lab notebook, cheap ball point pen, old pencils, wallet (empty), metrocard, change of clothes, water bottle (half-empty, crumpled, disposable, lukewarm), house keys & carabiner
mbti: infp
enneagram: type 5, the investigator
temperament: melancholic
moral alignment: neutral good
element: air
Short Bio
peter benjamin parker was raised by his uncle ben and aunt may parker in a little house in queens–his mother, mary, died when he was young, and his father (ostensibly billionaire tony stark, although pete was never sure he believed the stories) had never been in the picture. bitten by a radioactive spider on a class trip at fifteen, peter developed superpowers and failed to save his uncle from being murdered, in that order. to cope with the grief and the guilt, to set things right, because he had great power–and ben had told him that with it there must also come great responsibility–he took up the identity of spider-man, masked vigilante and all-around standup guy. eight years on, he’s still at it, and working on doctoral research in biochemical engineering at empire state university when he’s got a spare moment. and apparently his biological father is iron man, but that’s not something he wants to start unpacking anytime soon.
