Affiliations
- Wraith Spiders: Angelo's former unit prior to his leaving Arachnos.
- The Venomous Web: An elite unit of Arachnos constructed by the command of an Arbiter, then formed and organized by Webmaster Durand and Operative Arrivederci.
Loved Ones
Confidential, though anyone who's been at the D has probably heard Sic say "I love you" more than a few times towards a gal named Sophie...
Friends
- Engineer Dretzky: "I only hang around the guy 'cause of his girlfriend. Nah, I'm kiddin'. He's a great guy." A good friend of Angelo's, the two can often be seen having a beer at the D. They met through Dretzky's girlfriend, Thalia.
- Kira: "The kid's gonna get herself in a lot of trouble one day... More than she or I can handle, probably. But I'll still be there to back her up." Kira and Angelo met when the curious teenager spotted Angelo's Crab Spider Backpack and decided to inquire about it. The two have defended each other from various threats and have been good friends, ever since; Angelo has even gone so far as to offer to mentor her. One could almost mistake Angelo for thinking of Kira as the daughter he never had.
Enemies
- Rafael de la Larken: "Sonuvabitch's gonna get what's coming to him... soon's he stops cheatin'." Rafael has beaten Angelo once or twice, which is once or twice more than Angelo has beaten Raf. He intends to pay him back 'one of these days'.
Physical
Appearance
Decently above average 'standard human' height at six foot even, with strong, defined facial features, Angelo is reminiscent of the Greek warriors and the Italian romantics he owes his heritage to. His hair is cut perhaps half an inch to an inch above military standard, black - though not jet or raven - and his eyes are deep green, like cut dark emeralds. Though he keeps his face clean-shaved, he can occasionally be seen with a five-o'clock shadow if he's been working frequently; as well, there's sometimes bags under his eyes as though he hadn't slept in days. He is very well built compared to the average non-meta, though presumably he has to be to carry around that Longfang backpack. The Longfang pack itself is a mixture of midnight black cast metal with a milky-silvery white paint coating over it.
He's commonly seen wearing a strange outfit that isn't Arachnos-related...
Outside of his armor, he can be seen with a black tanker shirt and black/dark gray camouflage, an authentic leather belt, and leather combat boots.
Tattoos
Angelo is a tattoo kind of guy. Above the belt-line and below the neck, he has many symmetrical color tattoos.
- Shoulders: Both shoulders have a small, stylized skull with a wicked dagger through one eye, and an inked Recluse spider crawling into the other.
- Lower back: Medium Arachnos symbol tattooed (or branded) just outside of the base of his spine.
- Arms: Twin lengthy Roman Gladii spanning from below his elbows to before his wrists.
- Hands: Two smallish gray Spartan shields on the top of the hand with the Latin word 'Phalanx' inked into the tops.
Personality
Extremely loyal to a fault, this includes his (former) dedication to Arachnos and potentially mistaken beliefs that he is protecting his people and his country. He's a romantic at heart; he can always be seen showering Sophie with gifts and praise. Angelo is notably passionate about his work and his relationships; though, one could also consider him a hardcore workaholic. (WIP)
Powers
Arachnos Training and Devices
Wolf Spider and Huntsman Training
As a Wolf Spider and subsequently a Wolf Spider Huntsman, this is where Angelo retrieved some very important training.
- Armor: Custom Arachnos armor cast in Impervium, padded with rubber and outfitted with leather in parts.
- Squad Maneuvering and Leadership Tactics: A good squad leader needs to know how to direct his squad. With Angelo's tactics, anyone in a vicinity close enough to hear his orders will understand how to fortify their defenses and exploit holes in the enemy's own defense.
- Mental Training: No soldier is truly a soldier if he's easily overtaken on the battlefield. Angelo's training was extreme enough to leave his mind nearly impenetrable and leave him difficult to control or afflict.
Crab Spider Training
Being a Longfang squad leader, Angelo is - of course- outfitted with the best of Crab Spider Soldier gear.
- Armor Upgrade: Crab Spiders have superior armor to even Huntsman, and arguably Banes. Angelo's is custom-made to be even more protective.
- Armor Fortification: For as long as Angelo can concentrate on what he's doing, he can better defend himself and resist most types of damage and control.
- Serum: Angelo carries around several vials of a mysterious serum at his hip. It seems to heal him and increase his ability to take hits; though, the most concerning side effect is that it makes him almost feral, then gives him a 'crash' once the serum has coursed its way through his veins.
Arachnos Mace Training
It is unknown if Angelo has had any Bane Spider training, or if he simply acquired this mace for his own uses.
- Web Grenade: Your standard Arachnos web grenade, fired from the mace.
- Disruptor Blast: A disruptive blast from his mace that tends to blow enemies into the ground with the force of its explosive strike.
Arachnobot Command
- Summon Spiderlings: Three Arachnobot Assault 'Hatchling' units.
- Call Reinforcements: Two Arachnobot 'Shield Spider' units that provide reinforcements and cover.
- Summon Blaster: A single Arachnobot Assault Blaster unit.
Travel
Angelo's ability to travel quickly is thanks to some gravity-reducing boots he wears in his Arachnos and armored power suits.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Friends, and his humanity - both in the literal and metaphorical senses. He is only human, though he's actually not as selfish as people think he is - he puts the people he cares about before himself, as he would rather risk or even sacrifice his own life for others.
Equipment
Aside from Angelo's Crab Spider Backpack, he carries a custom Colt M1911 with a double-capacity magazine. He can sometimes be seen with a Taurus Raging Bull, though it has no drum, instead relying on a feed mechanism. He also has a special folding Arachnos mace at his hip.
Character History
[WIP]
Trivia, Rumors and Miscellaneous
Trivia
For being born in Italy, Angelo's accent actually isn't Italian. It's more of a hard-to-place New Yorker accent, though it's difficult to tell if it's more Brooklyn, Manhattan or Yorker.
Angelo is actually a rather proficient chef. This probably isn't surprising, considering where he's from. His 'signature' dish is Chicken Cordon Bleu.
Music time! Angelo has a considerably pleasant singing voice in a deep tenor key. He can also play piano and guitar, though he's better at guitar and prefers acoustics.
Despite being Italian, Angelo heavily prefers the German beer known as 'Kolsch' over any other alcohol. He has been known to enjoy the occasional glass of wine, though.
