HISTORY

[HERE]

What is your canon exit point?: Post Film, just after eating a bodega store robber.

The end of the film sees Venom staying on earth and Eddie forming a partnership with him. In the comics this leads to a relationship that's parts love and other parts abusive, but for the moment Venom and Eddie have named themselves buddy cops protecting their neighborhood. The symbiote's need for human brains might mean that Eddie becomes more of an anti-hero, bordering on a villain then he could have ever intended.

For the moment however Eddie seems to be relishing his and the symbiote's bonding using it to save the owner of the bodega down the street from their SRO. He eats the robber however, possibly earning the confusion of Mrs. Chen, their neighbor and previous(?) friend.

UPON ARRIVING Eddie and Venom will basically become a werewolf. By day he'll be a guy with a monster in his head, unable to transform. By night, he'll be venom, and venom will have free reign with Eddie in his head. The symbiote has lost all of it's powers save for it's predatory instincts, size and claws and such.

PERSONALITY OVERVIEW

PERSONALITY QUESTIONS

What skills does your character bring to the situation?
Eddie: Eddie brings very little to the situation. The most useful skill he can offer is an incessant need to discover the truth. Barring that (especially given that he has an alien to babysit) Eddie can pick locks, move pretty quietly, and do things that work far better in the city then in the forest. One would think he could offer insight into symbiotes since he's the first person to successfully bond with one, but he and Venom are still new "roommates" so to speak. He has a limited degree of understanding of Venom's capabilities, one that's rapidly growing. His other big strength is that he can communicate with Venom.

Venom: Is a Klyntar, or an alien symbiote who was part of an invasion force of earth. A nonbinary being, Venom is still new to earth. Being out in the wilderness will probably see Venom and Eddie freak out, but Venom take to it easier. While Klyntar is a lot different then earth, he's far freer to hunt here - though it make him a threat to other people in the village and the settlement.

Why did you choose this specific character for 6I, and how do you picture them fitting into the game?

The original idea behind apping Eddie was the idea of apping a character who was a potential threat, and a danger. Alec is a far safer character and will ultimately act in the best interest of the group. Eddie would, Venom won't, and Eddie is slowly becoming dependent on Venom. Plus, thanks to the lack of electricity there's no way to get Venom out of Eddie Brock without seriously harming him.

He presents a problem that people would have to work together to solve. While he won't give into Venom right away (and in fact will fight him every step of the way) it'd be a great test of the character. Essentially I'm apping him to throw discord into the mix while also making people really think about the character.

Venom is in the same boat. While he doesn't really want to harm people, he is an animal (a sentient animal but an animal.) Without the chemical found in brains or chocolate he'll end up eating people to get at the chemicals that keep him calm.

How do you imagine your character will survive in 6I, and in what ways will they contribute to the settlement, if any?
Eddie will probably be something close to useless unless they need one of many people to do something stupid in which case he'll jump up and volunteer to do whatever it is people need doing. With Venom's help he might be a a bit more eager to do terrible things but the idea that people need to ask themselves is - that beneficial to everyone? Eddie is very much a character of a long game. The kind of character you use to build alliances and then break them down by having him turn out to be an asshole.

The great thing though is that Eddie's not an asshole so it'll be fun for me (just like it was fun for Tom Hardy) to let loose and be nuts without the boundaries of the game, and it'll be fun for everybody else who'll have to deal with this guy who seems a little scatterbrained maybe, a little off, and turns out to be a werewolf like monster.

How will your character react to...

Being separated, possibly permanently, from loved ones and their previous life, including loss of powers, if applicable?

The biggest concern is Venom, who will not react well to the idea that they are possibly dead, out of their own galaxy, and perpetually cut off from it's hive forever. It won't be pleasant but Eddie will entice it to slide out into the darkness and hunt rather then take out that anger on human beings. It will eventually (hopefully) learn to be better but it's an animal that's cornered.

For Eddie, it's just another stack of shit in a very long and very tired life. He'll be apologetic, but the longer he spends with Venom the more likely it is that he'll be caring more about it's needs then his own.

Their environment being manipulated, possibly in strange or extraordinary ways, and possibly in ways which restrain them?

Venom would feel more at home in this. It's bonded to Eddie and, in it's own twisted way, cares for him. The journalist gave him a home on earth. Any opportunity to try and protect him he'll relish. The fact that he's constricted to night time activities means that he'll be angry and he might hurt Eddie in the process but hopefully the two of them will work through it.

Eddie will be disconcerted to say the least but attempt to use his powers for good and do good despite any situations that involve Venom, but again, as time progresses he may leave the decisions up to his other, and his one true love.

Being physically and/or mentally manipulated, such as having hallucinations or suddenly possessing special abilities they did not have before?

It won't be good for anybody, let alone these two.

Venom would most likely respond with violence and animal like behavior that should be checked. Eddie will do his best and while he has a remarkable will, that again might be a source for plotting. Then again, Eddie is more likely to flee then hurt anyone.

Eddie has a degree more experience with this given that's what Venom did with him, but he'll be more then likely to run away and try and console his symbiote if the creature is freaking out. If he's not, he'll try and help others.

POWERS & SPECIAL ABILITIES

[Eddie has no special skills (because he is a loser) and while Venom has special skills he is also a loser - technically considering. The symbiote's powers include the following:
- Ability to manipulate it's body shape into other shapes (specifically to create a larger form (so muscle growth)
- The ability to leap tall buildings in several bounds (but it's still leaping a tall building)
- A gooey web like substance that is indestructible by human means. With it Venom can do everything from grab people to capture people from a great distance.
- A venomous bite - Venom secretes it's waste through it's saliva which comes out poisonous.
- Super senses - the ability to sense people because it's entire membrane is covered in invisible eyes - or one big eye if you prefer. That gives it 360 degree vision but the information is still way too much for Eddie to process. He might learn, with time, but.
- An extra long tongue it can use as a weapon.
- Super strength. Venom can lift upwards of a ton.
- Genetic memory.

All of this can be negated by sound, and fire. So the easiest way to defeat venom is to light shit on fire.


His comic abilities, immunity to spider-sense etc. Are impossible because he's not a part of the universe and has never encountered spider-man..]
