✧˚ PERSONALITY ˚✧
yazaki mahiru:
having lived for this long from when
the apocalypse has started to its current
point in time, mahiru has developed both
a realist and pessimistic attitude. they've
become more of a loner ever since the
deaths of his aunt and uncle despite
living in a safe zone filled with people.
they have a bit of a cold attitude from
being a loner and has an extremely
work focused mind. they don't enjoy
casual conversation and usually just
works on their craft alone or with their
only co-worker. having managed outlive
most of their close friends and his family,
mahiru has developed a penchant for
fatalistic humor.
joro/arachne (spiderman):
a polaring opposite personality compared
to their civillan side, both optimistic and
playful for someone living in the apocalypse.
they try to find the best solution for everyone
involved, but if they are unable to find a
solution for someone who they believe
to be a lost cause, joro doesn't try and
bother. they don't have much remorse over
killing people, having lived in an apocalypse
for this long, and moreso when they have
confirmed that killing one person would be
the best solution for everyone else. they're
quite a chatty vigilante/hero, having a bright
attitude despite the amounts of fatalistic
humor that typically leaves their mouth. an
extremely prideful individual, joro does not
enjoy revealing a weak side to them, having
much pride in themself and the work they have
accomplished.

✧˚ BACKSTORY ˚✧
- born to first generation japanese immigrant parents, raised in brooklyn for the first 5 years of their life before being brought to manhattan.
- bit by the mutated spider at 13, didn't really want to take the mantle of spiderman and tried to stay as ordinary as possible but eventually took up the mantle at the age of 13.
- went to elementary, middle and high school in manhattan, was in the middle of class when the apocalypse first struck and with the news of the apocalypse having begun, this ensued mass panic all over the country.
- kira morris was one of the first few people infected at the school and with the first couple of people getting infected, this resulted in a massive panic all over the school.
- with the start of the infections at the school, more and more students got infected until eventually the majority of the students were infected at the school.
- with the majority of the students infected, marisa (mj) jekyll had gotten infected due to an unfortunate accident and with no present way of reversing an infection, at mj's request to die as a human rather than become an infected, mahiru had no choice but kill her.
- soon left the school, both to get out of the current situation and overcome with guilt, unable to face their infected classmates.
- searching for anyone they knew, they soon headed back to their house only to find nothing but bloodstains and ransacked pantries so they gathered whatever supplies were leftover and left their home for good.
- managed to find one of their close friends, taylor greenwood, and these two were beyond inseparable even by apocalypse standards, both over their close friendship and shared trauma.
- after a year within into the apocalypse and many people getting used to the patterns of the infected, a sudden mutation formed amongst the infected causing them to be so entirely unpredictable and became the cause of taylor's death.
- lived in an abandoned factory filled with cocoons of infected people for a couple of years until an anomaly fell into their factory, and along with that anomaly came miguel and nikolas dane.
- joined the spider society at the age of 19, safe zones began to appear when he reached 20.
- with the appearance of safe zones and rumors of a safe zone being built in brooklyn, mahiru immediately headed over with hopes in finding any relatives who lived in brooklyn at the time of the apocalypse, found his aunt and uncle at the brooklyn safe zone entrance also trying to get in.
- they lived a pretty calm life in the safe zone, helping their aunt out with their shop and repairing their broken heart, beginning to go out with an oscorp employee, peter parker.
- at the age of 22, his aunt had gotten infected and due to his desperation and hearing rumors of person who was capable of stopping the infection, he took her outside of the safe zone in hopes of finding this person but he had failed. she had turned and bit mahiru as a result, but apollo appeared right after his aunt had turned, and managed to save mahiru though they had thrown him into an abandoned building for five days
- as a result of his aunt's death, mahiru had to return to his uncle with the horrifying news. with his aunt and uncle being middle school sweethearts, his uncle had decided to kill himself in over the grief from losing his beloved.
- witnessing both his uncle's death and his transformation into one of those infected beings, mahiru had practically lost all hope, allowing himself to be almost torn apart until felix kim had walked in, horrified to find the both of them like a situation like this.
- with felix walking in, he had decided to make up his mind and opened up a portal whilst also webbing his uncle to the walls of their home.
- escaping with their life, they had landed in the spider society with critical injuries and severe bloodloss | stayed at the spider society hq for a bit to cope with their grief.
- soon returned back to their universe and even with the grief still heavy on their mind, they had to pull themself together in order to keep their aunt's shop open and don on the mask of spiderman/joro.
