Relatives (living/dead?): Marc Spector- Father
Marlene Alraune-Mother
Backstory: Marlene had hoped that with Ryan born that Marc might be more willing to give up superheroing and they could finally be together like she always dreamed about, however that never happen and their relationship never progressed beyond dating. While this did not mean that Ryan never knew his father, as the he saw him every weekend and as Ryan got older he would even spend the most weekends with his father as long as Marc promised Marlene that he would not “work” while Ryan was with him and to keep Ryan safe. After a couple of these trips Marc grew bored of just playing father and out of sheer boredom asked 7 year old Ryan if he wanted to learn how to fight. Ryan said yes and Marc started training Ryan all the stuff he knew about fighting and from then on Ryan would spend almost every weekend learning how to fight.
When Marc first told Marlene that he was teaching Ryan how to fight she was furious but after she calmed down she realized that this would mean that Marc couldn’t be crime fighting if he’s teach Ryan how to fight and it was making Marc more like a father than he had ever been before. Marlene also taught Ryan some of her fighting tricks as well. While Ryan is grateful to and cares for his father, Ryan never felt that his father was the avatar of the Egyptian god of the moon and vengeance and thinks it’s all in his head and like his mother believes that Marc is not always playing with a full deck. Currently Ryan is in his second year of college and is living away from home but still sees his parents regularly.
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: Ryan was on the bad end of a mugging and discovers his own heroic nature.
What are you planning to do with this character?: Ryan is very inexperienced with super heroics and would he would be more than willing to learn from more experienced heroes. Ryan also has no interest in becoming a new Moon Knight or having anything to do with his father’s god.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Ryan has spent most of his life outside of the superhero community and it would be interesting to see his story unfold trying to integrate himself into that community.

Sample post:
Since Ryan first went away to college he had been doing intramural boxing to keep up on his fighting, or at least that’s what he told his dad, to get him of his back about his fighting. But for him it was just a fun way to stay active. Only a handful of the people there could put up a decent fight, so he had to tone down his skill as not to seriously hurt someone on accident. His dad had been teaching him everything he knows about boxing since he was seven and it was the first fighting style that he ever learned, and while he preferred to use mixed martial arts in sparring with his father now, he always enjoyed boxing.

After looking at the list of who people would be sparring against, a big smile crossed Ryan’s face. His opponent was in his opinion the most talented boxer there beside himself while it was nowhere near his level of skill it was still going to be a fun match.

After three long rounds Ryan had kept the fight close letting himself win by 3 point. But still this fight actually started to get his blood pumping, until Ryan realize that his opponent was favoring his right side and not using his left often making it very easy for Ryan to get some counter blows.

A little sweaty Ryan headed back to the locker room to shower up change and head back to his room to finish up his class work before midnight, hopefully.
