HOMETOWN

APPEARANCE
Harry tends to be on the paler side, though the pallor and feel off his skin varies depending on how badly his Retroviral Hypodysplasia is flaring up. The most obvious signs are patches of scaly, greenish skin on his neck, arms, and hairline, and a tremor in his hands. Under great amounts of stress, he suffers some loss of fine motor control. If the disease takes over his body, then his hair becomes coarser in texture, his teeth and nails become pointed, and he overall looks sickly.
Clothing wise, Harry has expensive tastes. He likes three piece suits and expensive jeans, and can often be seen wearing a leather jacket and designer sunglasses.

PERSONALITY
Harry values personal relationships, and he values honesty. When he was made CEO of Oscorp following his father's passing, he insulted and alienated the much older board members, knowing there was nothing he could do to win their favor, and promoted Felicia Hardy to be his own personal assistant. He trusted Felicia to have his back, and to tell him things that the rest of the board were keeping from him. He also believes in reciprocity. After Spider-Man denied him his blood, thereby removing Harry's hope of a cure, he vowed that he would in turn take away Spider-Man's hope by kidnapping his girlfriend and killing her.
Harry is terrified of the disease he inherited from his father. Not only is he afraid to die, but he is afraid he will become ugly and deformed, with scaly skin and long, claw-like fingernails. He will do anything to avoid that fate, going from bartering to begging, to taking his (presumed) salvation by force.

BACKGROUND
FAMILY
mother Emily Osborn, deceased when Harry was very young
father Norman Osborn, recently deceased of Retroviral Hypodysplasia
father Norman Osborn, recently deceased of Retroviral Hypodysplasia
On Harry's 16th birthday, his father sent him a bottle of whiskey, though it was clear the gift was sent by one of his father's employees, rather than Norman Osborn himself. This cemented in Harry a deep hatred for his father, one that was only worsened by the fact that Harry inherited the same incurable disease that would go on to kill Norman, Retroviral Hypodysplasia.
In searching through Oscorp's files for a way to cure his disease, Harry developed the notion that if he injected himself with Spider-Man's blood, he could give himself the hero's healing ability, thereby saving his life. He begged and pleaded Peter to set up a meeting between him and Spider-Man, only for the hero to deny him his blood, no matter what Harry could offer him. Even though Spider-Man said he was doing it out of concern for Harry's safety, Harry didn't care. This was one of the final straws in Harry's fall into desperation and hopelessness, and would lead him to develop a personal vendetta against Spider-Man. He then took matters into his own hands and held Donald Menken at gunpoint, forcing him to inject Harry with the genetically-modified spider venom. This last salvo wouldn't end up giving Harry the cure he sought after, instead mutating him into a deformed, deranged version of himself.
ABILITIES
RETROVIRAL HYPODYSPLASIA
A medical condition inherited from Harry's father. Untreated, the condition will over time give Harry greenish, scaled skin, thick clawed fingernails, pointed teeth, and it will eventually kill him.
CONTACT HEALING
(New for Metaheroes) Harry can heal someone's illness or injury through skin-to-skin contact. However, any healing Harry performs will worsen his own disease. The greater the injury or illness he heals, the more his disease worsens. If he brings someone back from the dead, the disease will completely take over his mind and body.
This power will also work in reverse: if he injures someone, his condition will improve. The greater the injury, the greater the improvement. Any improvement is only temporary, however, meaning that he will have to continue to hurt people in order to maintain his "cure."

PERMISSIONS
OUT OF CHARACTER
β Backtagging:I will backtag until I can no longer come up with a reply to a thread.
β Fourthwalling:
A-OK with me! Harry won't react well to being told he's fictional, though.
β± Threadjacking:
Just give me a heads up OOC first, but as long as the thread is not marked as private, this should be fine.
β± Handwaving:
Usually fine, except for first meetings and important CR development. Please check OOC first.
β€ Offlimits:
Images, videos, or descriptions of eye gore, and spikes/needles being driven into or pulled out of skin. Images of internal organs (heart, brain, lungs, etc.). Video or descriptions of car accidents. I also do not roleplay smut of any kind, even FTB.
IN CHARACTER
β Physical Contact:Harry is rather touch starved, and very self conscious of the deformed patches of skin scattered around his body. So while he may shy away from physical contact at first, especially around those areas, he may eventually warm up to it.
β Mental Contact:
He won't react well to having his innermost thoughts and feelings accessed telepathically, but he has no experience or training in resisting it.
β Flirting & Affection:
Welcome, though see above note about Harry's self consciousness surrounding his deformities.
β Sex & Smut:
For personal reasons, I do not play smut, not even handwaved/FTB.
β Fighting:
Harry as he is has no enhanced strength or fighting ability, unless he is wearing the Green Goblin power armor. He is, however, unafraid of guns and will shoot if threatened.
β± Injury & Death:
Minor injuries are fine. Anything major or any deaths should be talked about OOC first.
β€ Warnings & Opt-Out:
Harry copes with emotional stress by getting drunk. Yes, he drank when he was still underage, and yes, he is in danger of becoming an alcoholic if he doesn't find a better coping mechanism. If you would like to opt-out of any alcohol-related content, please comment below.
