Gianni Arachne- Arachnid Archaeologist

History:

Gianni was born to a doting family of assassins. Their work was bloody and their relationship odd, but they were a genuinely loving family with a beautiful son and daughter and their dark secrets hidden from the world. But the children learned of these secrets, and the daughter slew them both for it before turning on her brother. Gianni, the son, fled with only a slash across his chest.

He survived and slowly pieced his life back together, finding jobs and reasons to continue on. Seeking his heritage and companionship in a lonely world, he began to seek out his kind’s past, studying the hidden archaeology of the world to prepare himself. After making a name for himself working for China's Hidden World Office, he has had more time and money to focus on this and his other hobby of sewing.

Personality:

Gianni is a scholarly sort, often lost in thought and theories. He is easily distracted by minutia, especially when anxious. This interest in detail doesn’t manifest as the mania of his sister, just a minor OCD. When not doing his official digs for the Hidden World's organizations, he focuses on his people's history on earth and sewing. He does not seek out battle or confrontation, but will participate if given no choice. He only shows exceptional boldness when it promises discovery. Not especially social, Gianni avoids crowds and enjoys quiet corners, but his passion can be ignited by topics he finds interesting, letting him overcome his shyness and speak to anybody.

Appearance:

Gianni is a small man with a wiry build. His complexion is vaguely purple and his hair reddish purple and wiry, spiking up on top with three bangs falling in front of his face, stopping just over his red eyes, where he wears glasses. The wire frames of his cat eye glasses are a dark red, thin around the frames. He has a button nose the glasses rest upon. Gianni tends to cover his lean body in colorful clothing, often made by himself. This clothing tends towards either neon or pastel colors and often has a quilted look, with squares of fabric glued together by sticky threads. On his chest is a pale scar that stretches diagonally left to right, once more prominent but now faded by many shed skins.

Powers and Skills:

Tailor- Not usually used in combat, but useful for closing wounds and repairing clothing afterwards.

Sticky string- Gianni can’t create the variety of threads his sister can, but he can produce the same sticky threads and use them in a variety of manners. He can entangle enemies or swing from his threads. He himself is not affected by their tacky nature, freely releasing it. He can also feel vibrations through the threads. These threads are what he uses to repair and make clothing, gluing together fabric rather than sewing, making a more seamless whole.

Wall Crawler- Gianni can freely walk on Impossible surfaces. This ability works regardless of shoes and allows him to walk up walls, ceilings, and slippery surfaces. These capabilities are shared by his sister. However, he has taken this ability to a new level. He can keep also from sinking in fluids, walking across the surface of water without any difficulty. If Gianni doesn't want to be moved, you will sooner break off his limbs trying to pull him than you will force him to budge.

Venomous- Gianni's supposed bangs are in fact fangs. Gianni's venom is a neurotoxin that dulls pain and destroys muscular control. Enough can stop the heart, this being the reason Gianni prefers not to use this power. The venom in his fangs can also dissolve his threads, although it also ruins any cloth they're touching.

Shed- Not an active power useful in daily life, Gianni sheds his skin every few months, and in doing so restores his skin and can even regenerate limbs over time.

Gear:

Gianni carries a backpack into ruins with a few handy tools whenever he intentionally enters harm's way. None of it is combat worthy, but all of it is useful to have.

Thermos- Filled with water. Hydration is important!

Packed lunch- Enough sandwiches for two. Gianni would never eat in a ruin, to avoid contamination, but afterwards it's good to have food.

Raincoat- Bright violet!

First aid kit- Disinfectant and bandages, along with a small sewing kit for sewing wounds after a fight.

Weaknesses:

Inexperience- Gianni has no practical experience with battle.

Lightweight- Gianni has more agility than durability or strength. He doesn't punch hard or take a hard punch, making him a poor frontliner.
