Creator's notes
Night Spider, gosh where shall I begin? Night was my first character in Champions online and my main pride and joy. Most of night was brought up by my love for dark, shady vigilante types such as Batman. But I also wanted to add in some aspects of another hero, Spiderman.
Most of Night's Spiderman side comes from the Spiderman Noir series which added a darker grity take on the webslinger.
Of course i did NOT want a moody totaly brooding and violent character, so I put in a mature serious personality that could also go to more of a light hearted mood depending on situation. In all honesty, when I made Night Spider I did not expect to get much RP out of CO, which was then sorta like my vacation game from DCUO (DC universe online). Boy was I wrong, I soon found an SG for Night spider known as the X-pelled Mutant Academy, there was when I went into overdrive to form a story for NS which slowly evolved into a Mutant, Techy, Martial artist and the Vigilante side slowly fading into the mist. After X-pelled closed down I decided to give Spider a bit more meat to his story, which some has changed since then.
Currently Night is head of Operations for the Nexus Academy and fiting nicely into his job. Now, with the aid of a few friends Im rewriting certain aspects of the character, namely powers and skills. My goal is to form NS into a balance of Natural powers and Tech gadgets which is currently happening as you read this.
But enough talk, I hope you enjoy reading Night Spider's story as it happens, Just as I enjoy writing and playing him.

Origins.
((Most info is only for fun...not many people know this much about Night spider ICly so please dont metagame this thanks))
When he was 13 years old James Parker was shopping with his parents and younger brother in Westside Millennium city Detroit. They had recently left the store and were on their way to the car when James and his brother Richard noticed movement within the nearby alleys and caught sight of two strange people one wearing a purple suit and the other wore a motorcycle jacket with a cobra symbol on it. As the family got into the car the boys could not stop but to wonder who those men were but noticed one thing, their parents Tom and Maria Parker began to show signs of stress as the car would not start up.
All of a sudden bullets ripped through the vehicle as the Purple gang and the Cobra lords began a full scale gang war....and the family was caught in the crossfire. Tom Parker was instantly killed as a bullet hit him in the chest and Maria was hit in the legs paralyzing them. In one last act of love for her children, Maria urged James and Richard to run and promise to always protect each other. As the boys fled the battle they watched as the car and their dying parents erupt in an explosion.
However, as the children were almost out of the crossfire they were intercepted by Cobra lords wanting to make sure there were "No witnesses". As they dragged the kids to a remote alley Richard began to erupt in flames his eyes glowing a fiery orange. flames were sent in every direction burning buildings and cobra lords alike, then everything whent black.
James woke up in a charred alleyway, there were ashes everywhere and no sign of his brother or his would be murderers. He was, for once in his life. Alone.
Sevral months after the attack James kept a low profile in fear for his life, hiding out in abandoned buildings or under the streets. He returned to his old family home and discovered a stash of money that his parents kept after the battle of detroit, just for emergency reasons. Both James and his brother Richard were claimed to have died in the explosion and the home would soon be sold off. James took the money and hid himself on the next barge out of Millennium city, unsure of his future or why he was alive at all.
The barge made port in Bejing, China. James managed to escape detection from the workers and made his way into the city. For two months young James was a nomad, a street rat. He had learned quickly how to effectively avoid detection and steal food to survive. Eventualy, James started to explore and visited Hebei, Shandong and jiangsu where he met a middle aged man by the name of Henry. Henry took notice of James quickly and for weeks followed and observed him. James finaly found out about his watcher and confronted him. Henry then after some proding, revealed that he was an agent of a large group of warriors known as the Arachnid Brotherhood. James was given an offer to come with Henry to the mountains of Tibet, where the brotherhood was based. James, knowing that there was no other choice than continue a street rats life took Henry's offer and went along with the man.
Once they reached the location, an old Tibet village with a large temple. James was taken inside the temple and introduced to the Sensei or mentor of the brotherhood. The sensei revealed James was born with gifts that "Transended bloodlines" through a meditive ritual.
There James discovered that he was a Mutant born with advanced human qualities. Strength, speed, agility, senses all supernaturaly hightened. As well as a fast healing factor. James then accepted the senseis offer of joining the brotherhood and was assigned to be Henry's personal apprentice.
6 years passed after the death of his parents and the disappearance of his brother. In those years James had learned to control his teleporting powers as well as learning several versions of the martial arts and soon James would become a full member of the clan and gain the right to have an apprentice of his own. As James and Henry conversed on tactics plans the village alarm sounded indicating of an attack by the local bandits that have been preying on the village and the clan for years. When James got to the village streets and began to engage the bandits he came in contact with their king who instantly lashed out against him. The duel between James and the bandit king led them into a rocky canyon near the village where James finally struck him down.
With their king defeated the last of the bandits retreated and fled into the mountains. Upon returning to the sensei James was risen in rank from apprentice to master and was given dual swords, and amulet and according to the clans masters James was in fact chosen by the "Spider ancestor spirit" to be its ultimate agent. With his destiny realized and the sensei's words of wisdom James was dispatched to further train himself leading him to come into contact with many teachers of the "Way of the spider"
Soon after James ended up in Africa where he met a follower of Anansi the African spider god and helped him take out poachers and drug dealers in the area. In turn the follower taught James hunting techniques as well as a more furious form of martial arts. After his training with the follower was compleate James left another ally behind and began moving back to the states.
As James moved on to the states he cut a path through the Middle East where he met a group of black ops from America after they saw him jump into a conflict between them and a group of hostiles they offered a chance for James to assist them in a raid of a hostile camp. James accepted and went with them into the area around the camp and waited until dusk, When night fell the black ops and James attacked, the battle went on for the rest of the night but in the end the team stood victorious. After this James decided to join them as an ally. For two years James and the Black ops team learned from each other James teaching them the skills of the ninjas and the team teaching him marksmanship and munitions skills. After he learned all the team could teach him James left them on good terms and moved forward.
James arrived in Europe soon after his departure from the middle east. Here James came apon the Hunter Spiders an English sect of the spider clan that specialized in hunting and slaying the supernatural. Under their training James came into contact and learned to deal with Vampires, Werewolves and other supernatural creatures as well as marksmanship skills. Soon after a few months James bid farewell to the hunters and moved on
James arrived in the Canadian wilderness where he came in contact with a shaman who through a powerful ritual sent James into his own consciousness where he destroyed his inner demons and embraced his true powers. After his meeting with the shaman James made his way across the border into the states after 12 years he was finaly returning to where it all began.
James entered Millennium City ready to begin his new life. But when he returned home he found out that the alien race known as the Qularr were invading and throwing the city into chaos. Acting fast James donned his old Arachnid Brotherhood tunic and put his blades to good use helping the MCPD and local heroes alike to push back the invasion. In the end the qularr were defeated and the city saved. Afterward James went to work developing his new persona as "Night Spider" he forged a suit of bulletproof armor, developed enhanced non lethal weapons and began his new crusade to help those in danger and put the criminals behind bars.
Night Spider now works mainly on street level crime in westside but is known to go where he is needed.

X-pelled
As Night Spider first came onto the scene James began wanting to understand his mutant powers from a scientific perspective. One day he saw an ad for the X-pelled Mutant Academy and decided to apply as a student there. As the weeks turned into months James learned more and more about mutant kind and met other mutants from all walks of life and became friends with most of them His first "Combat experience" with the academy was when he went on a field trip with the other students to the Battle of Detroit museum where they found the hired assassin Killshot robbing the place he eventually fled the scene leaving a few students defeated in combat including Night Spider himself.
After the museum experience Night Spider went through more changes developing more armor and gaining more control over his powers. When fall came around the academy organized a thanksgiving party aboard the SS. Bayou Queen as the party went underway a strange feeling overcame Spider, A feeling something bad would happen soon and sure enough the party is crashed by a masked villain who claimed the ship was rigged to blow and held the trigger to detonate the hidden bombs. As the academy director confronted the villain outside on the docks Night spider and the other students helped evacuate the boat and find and disarm the bombs. Soon after that a series of events led to Night Spider and many others to leave x-pelled while it started to close down.

Equpment (Changed regularly)
Spider grenades: These small spherical devices are stored within Night Spider's belt and shoulder pads the types of grenades include:
- Small non-lethal explosives.
- Smoke bombs.
- Gas. (Knockout gas tear gas ect.)
- Cryo bombs.
- Flash bangs.
- Web bombs. (Explodes into a mess of web-like goo on contact, useful for pinning down foes)
- Acid bombs. (only used to melt through walls silently))
Cyber Bracer: A special device mounted on his right gauntlet, this device holds many features such as,
- A computer and database.
- A scanner.
- Control pad for special functions in the jet.
- A hacking device
Web Hook: Despite night spider's powers he cannot spin organic webbing so he created a special kind of Grapple Gun that fires a liquid metal compound with an electromagnetic charge, allowing the compound to attach to any surface and be retracted back. The "Web" is also strong enough to hold over 20 tons. There are also other modes Night utilizes includeing a function that can fire two webs at the same time. Currently the Web Hook only comes in the form of a standard Grapple Hook Gun. Night Spider is currently hard at work designing a smaller more concealed version.
Spider Tracers: These small devices are inspired by standard MCPD tracers and bugs. Spider tracers come in two forms, Audio tracers and GPS tracers. Audio tracers allow Night to listen in on whatever sounds or conversations that are picked up on the tracer. GPS tracers allow Night to track the tracer and whatever it is stuck to via GPS. The trackers and Audio are displayed in Night Spider's helmet or mask HUD interface.
Charge Foam: Developed at Parker Technologies this device sprays a charged foam that hardens on contact and when detonated can create an explosion similar to Plastiqe.
Spider Blades: Made from carbon steel and inspired from Shuriken and Boomerangs, these small metal devices are disigned to be mainly non leathal the two forms for the Spider Blades are:
- Sharp (used for cuting ropes and poping tires)
- Heavy (Used to knockout enemies during combat)
Ricochet Spider Discs: Similar to Spider blades these devices are somewhat larger and less leathal than the others, Ricochet Spider Discs are made out of a metallic alloy which absorbs the shock of an impact and uses the potential kinetic energy to ricochet off of many different surfaces. These devices come in just as many forms as the Spider Blades do, save for a few additions these include:
- Explosive
- Electrical Shock
- Gas (Knockout, Tear gas, Smoke)
- Remote Controll (Direction can be controlled by Helmet interface and cyber bracer)
- EMP blasts
As with all these additions Spider Grenades can also be attached to these discs for extra effect.
Switchblade (Shadow Web outfit only): Used primarily by Desmond Parker, James grandfather. The Switchblade is a small device wielded on to a steel plate bracer located in the right sleeve of the suit as well as the cuff of the jacket being parted for easy access. Once the user flicks his or her wrist the blade springs from the side of the bracer. James Grandfather used this to silently take out hostiles from the shadows while Tomas Parker used this in close quarters combat to maim instead of kill. James follows this principle but only uses the blade against those he knows he won't kill, such as metahumans with a healing factor. The Switchblade has been upgraded many times over the years with added improvements to the corresponding era. The current incarnation of the blade is a Kendrum alloy plate bracer with a more modern technology in the device as well as a questionite alloy lined blade.
Costume
Shadow Web outfit: The iconic and stylish suit worn by Night Spider's grandfather, Desmond Parker when he was active as The Shadow Web during the 1950's up until he died protecting a young James and his family during the Battle of Detroit. This suit was also worn by James father, Tomas Parker when he doned the suit to protect westside as the short lived but third Shadow Web until he too was killed by Cobra lords and Purple gang members. The outfit is one of James prized posessions due to it being all thats left of his father and grandfather. On occasion Night Spider dons this costume when he travels into westside. Night Spider has more or less upgraded the suit with similar functions his armor has but talored to the suit's lightweight nature. Night Spider has also noticed the costume bears a striking resemblance to the suit worn by the vigilante Mr. Blank.
Suit functions:
- Several compartments inside the suit for storage and gadgets
- Stealth Generator (Conceals the suit in a camouflage like field, rendering it invisible to the naked eye)
- Kendrum mesh under the jacket
- Kevlar lining
- Taser Gloves
- Anti Magic knuckle dusters (Dispells low level magic)
- Webweave mask (Includes Night Vision, Thermal vision, A HUD linked to SOCRATES and The Webwave, And a rebreather)
- Steel toe shoes
- Clawed gloves (Climbing and used in close combat)
Armor: For situations that call for extra protection, James dons the Webplate Combat Armor. Made from a special polymer of James's creation and linked together via a chainmail of the same material, the Webplate suit can take a good amount of damage from balistics, acid and the elements before breaking. However, the suit is not invincible and can only take so much. Point blank shots with armor percing rounds can damage the suit quickly. Night Spider wears this armor often for the extra protection that does not hinder his powers. Currently, the Webplate armor is being redesigned for more flexability.
Suit features:
Helmet( Night vision, Thermal vision, Crime scene scanner, Voice modulator)
- Quickfire Shuriken (Non lethal, Exploding, Electric Shock, Remote Control)
- Quickfire pellet granades (Exploding, Gas, Web bomb, EMP)
- Built in mini computers in the gauntlets
Webweave Suit: After several months of testing and experimenting James Parker has created a new version of the Webplate armor. Dubbed the Webweave suit this combat armor has all of the perks of Night Spider's original costume but with added flexibility. The suit is comprised of a nanoweave fiber mesh dipped in a top secret polymer at Parker Technologies. This polymer gives the suit added resistance to projectiles, elements and acid. Along with this the polymer acts as a second skin to the wearer as it increases mobility. Along with this there is special circuitry within the suit that allows many different things from a stealth generator to Taser gloves. The gauntlets of this suit have a special mechanism that can fire Spider Blades and shuriken rapidly.
Suit features:
- Mask (Tech scanner, Night vision, Thermal vision, Crime Scene Scanner)
- Quickfire Shuriken (Non lethal, Exploding, Electric Shock, Remote Control)
- Quickfire pellet granades (Exploding, Gas, Web bomb, EMP)
- Stealth Generator (Conceals the suit in a camouflage like field, rendering it invisible to the naked eye and Thermal visions)
- Built in mini computers in the gauntlets
Transportation
Webwing Fighter jet: This sleek stealth aircraft was disigned and built at Parker Technologies. orginaly it was a silver metalic color the aircraft now dubbed "The Webwing" was painted a pure black coating and intergrated with top line military tech such as:
- Duel Plasma beam cannons.
- Stealth feild tech. (Invisible to sonar and thermal imaging)
- Heat seeking missiles.
- Built in computer with connection to the Webwave in Spider's Den.
- Built in Radio system.
- Advanced Jet fuel and thruster systems.(At top speed the webwing can cross from the U.S to Aisa in 19 minutes)
Spider drone
Spider drone T3: A recent addition the T3 Spider drone acts more as a companion to Night Spider however, should a situation demand it the drone is perfect for recon missions and can move through the smallest of entry points and can get into areas normaly out of nights reach, the droid also has hacking upgrades allowing it to break into databases and gather information. The only other well known aspect is the drone's almost feline personality that has led the droid into mischief more than once.
Currently T3 enjoys pouncing on unsuspecting students from the Nexus Academy.
The Spider Drones also come in different sizes, the largest drones guard Spider's den armed with energy weapons.
OOC notes: Here is a link to a prime example of the Spider Drones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ-ut3sO92o (Look 30 seconds in for the droid)

Currently she is in Millenium city with her beloved trying to re-ignite their old flame.
Ebon Widow: Recently, Night Spider has come into contact with the daughter of Ebony Tarantula. Ebon Widow, known as Violet was her father's top trained assassin until she defected after Ebony killed her brother for failing him. James took Violet in without hesitation and has become her provider for both money, equipment and other reasourses. Violet, who has changed her name to Regina Parker has begun to slowly follow her "Uncle"'s footsteps and is now a new addition to the crimefighting community under the guise of Ebon Widow. Currently, Regina has been torn between her former life as an assassin and her new life as a hero for hire. She now displays a slight altruism and is prone to switching sides if it suits her liking.
Dark Knight: Tyson came to Night Spider recently seeking guidence and training. Tyson is the son of Ebony Tarantula and brother to Regina Parker (Ebon Widow). Tyson is a Half human half Shadow Demon hybrid with an array of supernatural powers. While having an anger problem and prone to violence, Tyson wanted to become a better person than his father did and turned to his "Uncle" James Parker for guidence. James took Tyson in and gave him an apartment in downtown Millennium City as well as begining tyson's training just as he has done to Tysons sister.

Dr. Orson was instrumental in turning Ebon Widow and Dark Knight to Night Spider's side and has provided James with many tech plans and equipment that is hundreds of years ahead of modern tech. Mallick was recently murdered by Ebony Tarantula only to have his soul and corpse reanimated by Ebony's partner the demon Zephyon. Orson was brought back due to a memory chip located in his old body's brain. Through the cloning tech in his lab. Night Spider cloned a new body for Orson and used the chip to transfer Orson's mind into this body. Currently, he is working with Ebon Widow to restore his lost soul and create a team specialized to take out high level super criminal threats. This move however, has put his friendship with Night Spider into a rough edge.
Juanita: Juanita is a very well known ally of Night Spider's family.

[WIP]
Case Files
These Files are actual cases that Night Spider has worked on along with his personal notes
Case File #2241 (Dr. Y kidnapping)
Case File #2241
Case situation: Open
Subject: Dr. Y kidnapping and rescue.
Date: 4/23/2013
Crimes: Kidnapping, Conspiracy.
Situation:
"Dr. Yargarrble or "Dr. Y" was reported on the CRP Communicator as missing/kidnapped today. The kidnapers were originally thought to be FBI agents. After a long discussion on how to react, it was discovered that the FBI had NOT targeted Dr. Y and that the kidnapers where possibly using fake ID's. I, along with a team of seven heroes discovered that the helicopter carrying the victim and the suspects had landed in the Southwest desert and were prepping a jet to move the victim elsewhere. We converged on the site, I allowed the others to take the ground forces while I concentrated on the two helicopters escorting the kidnappers. Strangely, after they saw our numbers the kidnappers released Dr. Y and retreated, somehow vanishing from one heroes satellite view. We checked Dr. Y for injuries. Several bruises , a bleeding nose and lacerations from a stun baton. It was noted that Dr. Y fought her captors before we arrived, resulting in said injuries. She through the use of magic managed to clip the jet with what looks like lightning. Upon inspecting Dr. Y it was clear that her bindings were covered in mystic runes and with the danger of the captors returning in force, we had no choice but to move her to Project Greenskin, a PRIMUS facility. Once we arrived we managed to remove the bindings and help Dr. Y through the use of Salt water (Side note: Dr. Y most likely has a dependence on water...Atlantean possibly?) Regardless she revealed that her captors approached her with FBI badges. Dr. Y not wanting to cause a problem with the FBI (And believing the captors trick) was handcuffed. She did however, "Freak Out" when she noticed the mystic bindings and was tasered and gagged. She noted that the bindings were from Ancient Europe times, specifically a cult in Scotland who was known to use similar bindings to capture mystical creatures for sacrifice. It appears these men were a modern incarnation of this cult. It was also discovered that the Jet was from Russian territory and had enough fuel to get from the desert to Canada (Possibly where they were going) and was covered in Salt. It was noted that the cult would most likely be around an area with an abundant resource. It seems Salt is that resource.
After collecting evidence and taking notes, the team parted ways. And I returned to the crime scene to collect any myself. I found a few blood samples...Possibly from Dr. Y or the captor she Head butted. After that I returned to other cases in Millennium City."
Personal Thoughts: "Even now I still don't know much about the cult OR their intentions. Dr. Y will be looked after. But the threat still looms. I'll be keeping tabs on this case but it will be unknown if I personally get into it again. Magic is not my strongpoint but if needed I'll help Dr. Y in any way I can"

- James is currently the CEO of Parker Technologies a small but growing business that deals with tech ranging from power armors to nanites and laser weapons. Parker Technologies only sells their stock to government organizations and super heroes however, a backround check would have to be done to make sure Parker tech inventory is not used for crimminal activities.
- If you need non lethal weapons or tech armor James is your man.
- Night Spider has been seen on TV more than once usually in combat situations such as his first appearance in the aftermath of the qularr invasion. James however has many TV ads for Parker Technologies and has been seen at parties and other upper class events.
- Night Spider takes interest in Tech armors don't be alarmed if he asks what your armor is made out of and what can it do.
- Even though he has been around for a few years Night spider has gained a slight reputation in the super hero community.
- Night spider has a big reputation in Westside and is somewhat feared by the purple gang and the cobra lords.
- If you're a hero from Westside you may have heard of Night Spider and his adventures.
- Night Spider is wanted dead by ogainizations such as VIPER and ARGENT

Personal thoughts
On being a hero: "The innocent and defenseless should be protected, all I am doing is my part to help this world become a safer place."
On other heroes: "The more heroes the better we could use all the help we can get....Although more heroes means more chances for loose cannons..
On Killing: "Despite a few regretful killings in my past I still have a "No kill rule" and I'll do everything in my power to make sure the innocent is safe, and the bad guys are not six feet under."
On Role models: "Ah jeez gotta ask the personal stuff do ya? I dont have many role models all I care about is carving my own legacy."
On being a role model: "Honestly im flattered if others see me as one and im ok with it but just remember guys, there is only one Night Spider."
On Arachnid themed heroes:"Heh. It's strange that only a few years after I put on the suit, spider themed heroes pop up everywhere. So it's either I have inspired some heroes to do this, or Arachnids are just in season this year."
