Player Name: [Ms. Steel].

Character Name: Thena Smith.

Age: 24.

Appearance: Thena stands at about 5'4", has a medium olive complexion and slick, straight black hair that is usually pulled back into what looks to be a headache-inducing ponytail. She has a slightly pear-shaped body with a slender torso, and a narrow waist flaring into softly-rounded hips; her thighs taper down to startlingly narrow calves and to feet that are seemingly too small for her body. Her hands are slender and her fingers elongated; they're also somewhat disproportionate for her body.

Most notably, Thena has four glassy, dark, and somewhat iridescent, almond-shaped eyes set in her oval face. The median anterior eyes are larger, and the pair of lateral eyes, which are set just below and to the right and left of the median eyes, are slightly smaller. The rest of her visage presents the 'usual' human attributes, however, with a small, round mouth and a straight nose.

Since she typically keeps them folded against her body, less notable are her extra set of limbs: Four spindly, well-articulated legs, reminiscent of a longbodied cellar spider. They originate from the lateral lumbar region of her back.

In order to hide her anatomical abnormalities, Thena has taken to wearing wrap-around sunglasses and a worn grey overcoat when she has to go out in public, which she chooses to do only at night.

Special Features: Her aforementioned eyes-- the median anterior pair--are how she generally views her surroundings; the lateral eyes grant her a view of movement in a greater peripheral field than a normal human (she can more or less just sense movement with the lateral eyes; they don't actually grant her visual acuity).

Part of her genetic enhancements also include spinnerets that are located in fingertips and trichobothria (or special hairs design to sense vibrations) on her arms and legs, so she can acutely sense movement and pinpoint sound in her environment.

Abilities: Thena can spin webs, and therefore set traps and in addition to simply binding individuals, and, overall, has heightened senses and reflexes. Her additional spidery legs afford her the ability to scale vertical surfaces, and they can take the impact of landing if she were to fall from somewhere.

Personality Profile: In the time since her release, Thena has become rather reclusive, although she does long for friend- and companionship; unfortunately, her appearance doesn't make that an easy accomplishment. Instead, she frequently talks to herself in lieu of having anyone else with whom to converse.

While she appears to have once been somewhat attractive, she abhors her new and unnatural appearance, and does what she can to hide it from the public when she does have to go out, which occurs only when it's necessary to procure sustenance and basic necessities. Her interaction with other individuals has been scarce to nil.

Thena has found some satisfaction in her newfound ability to weave webs.

History: From the time of her unintended release, and for a total of approximately six weeks time, Thena had taken-up residence in an abandoned ranch-style house on the outskirts of town. She ran as fast and as far as she could, although it took a little getting accustomed to her new, strange appendages.

When her location was breached, the entire interior of the house was a labyrinth of gossamer webbing and sticky tunnels, which didn't make her capture particularly fast or simple.

Status: Rogue.

Handler: Michael Cross.

2014-08-14 [The Black Goat]: I like it, no extra legs though? XD

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: I know! I want them, but don't want to shoehorn them in. :-I Plus, she'd need to run around with very little clothing to make them accessible, although I think she already would, honestly.

Weird, spindly legs would be pretty cool, though...

2014-08-14 [The Black Goat]: I think so ^^

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: <img300*0:stuff/thena.jpg>

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: Are mix-and-match weird? Does she need to dislocate her 'normal' limbs to climb walls and crap? (creepy)

2014-08-14 [The Black Goat]: Ohhhh like her knees can bend the other way?

If her extra legs were a little thinner she could fold them against her skin or wrap them around existing limbs XD

Personally I'd place them on her back, kind of coming up around her to grasp prey and such

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: Yes, I suppose so; shoulders, hips and knees, I guess. Sort of like the spider staircase scene from The Exocist. hehe.

Slash a little bit like Gustave Doré's Arachne:

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: Also, the drawing is only about four inches tall, so the detail doesn't get much smaller with the pencil I was using. :-I Unless they were some bionic hybrid, they probably can't be much thinner to proportionally support her weight, I figured.

2014-08-14 [The Black Goat]: That picture was hells creepy XD

That's all good, welcome to the game, would you like some koolaid? ;D

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: I LOVE KOOL AID :-DDDDDDD
I'll just finish her up, then

2014-08-14 [The Black Goat]: Hurrah koolaid!!!

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: <img300*0:stuff/aj/1800/1408048335.jpg> No dislocation necessary.

2014-08-14 [The Black Goat]: You want to link her in the comments on the DR Characters

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: Sure, I can! I'll probably edit and tweak a little bit still, if that's okay.

2014-08-14 [Lirerial]: Oooh love it!

2014-08-14 [Ms. Steel]: Thanks :-)
