HARRY OSBORN - GREEN GOBLIN II

appearance

harry stands at approximately 5'7", roughly 185lbs, and is of a very slender build.  He's not especially strong but he can hold his own if it came down to his own self defense.  he has a long scar that runs along his lower right leg thanks to an accident when he was on a yacht during summer vacation while at boarding school and sliced open his leg on a piece of metal.  his hair is short and a light brown; he prefers to keep it combed off to one side and has often been teased that he uses an entire can of hairspray every morning.  his facial features are very angular and his eyes are a piercing gray blue.  they say the eyes are often a window into the soul and this holds true for harry.  However, he is very good when it comes to putting on a poker face and it can be difficult to tell what he's really thinking.  coming from a wealthy family, he has always taken pride in his appearance, dressing IMPECCABLY and having the monetary means to do so.  more often than not he tends to wear full suits, although sometimes he will dress more casually in an outfit such as jeans and a leather jacket.  it all depends on what the situation calls for.  


personality

harry was forced to mature much quicker than someone of his age and by doing so, has become extremely independent.  he has a very 'I don't need anyone, I can take care of myself' type attitude and tends to push people away, although with his recent return to nyc, he has started to open up again.  he has a very strong temper and it can flare up at the smallest of things, but for the most part he tries to keep it in check.  HIs patience-level is not very high when it comes to dealing with people he considers beneath him or idiots, such as the board members of his father's company.  when he wants something done, he expects it to be done immediately, and he will hold people to their promises.  harry can be the best friend you could hope for or he can be a terrible enemy, it all come down to his initial impression of you and also any future interactions.  harry is jaded when it comes to people wanting to be his friends or wanting to date him because more often than not, all they care about is his money.  he's a good guy deep down and he tries to do the right thing, it just doesn't always work out.  he can be incredibly stubborn at times but he is also loyal to the ones he cares about and will take care of them in whatever way he can.  family is a very sore subject for him given that his mother died when he was young and his father practically abandoned him when he sent him off to boarding school, not even bothering to contact him.  Even when he got a birthday card, it was clearly signed by one of his father's various secretaries.  however, despite wanting to hate his father, harry is someone who could never truly hate him, because he's still his father in the end.  Harry is used to luxury and having the monetary means to do whatever he wants, but he is no stranger to hard work and has had to earn his way, trying to be the son his father would be proud of and finally acknowledge.  if you can break through his outer shell, you'll find that he's easy-going, funny, and caring, but just don't mistake those for weaknesses.  He can be extremely ruthless when it comes down to it and if anyone tries to step in the way of something he wants, he won't hesitate to bring them down.

Currently, harry has no extra powers or abilities.  He is 100% human, although he is affected by the recessive gene called Retroviral Hypodysplasia, passed down to him by his father.  it had already severely affected his father by the time he returned from university, deforming his father's features.  it not only affected his father's features but also his mind, something harry fear will begin to happen to him.  he has already started to show some of the side effects in small green patches on his skin, but for the most part, he hasn't shown any further symptoms.  

harry did not have the easiest childhood, despite the fact that he was born to power and wealth as an osborn.  his mother died when he was younger from sickness and his father seemingly wanted nothing to do with him.  it was a lonely life and one that while he was popular at school, he knew it was only because of his money.  if he wasn't an osborn, if he didn't come from such a powerful family, he doubted any of his so-called 'friends' would have stayed with him.  as a kid, however, he tried to be optimistic, thinking that if he did well in school, his father would be proud of him, and so he put forth his best efforts.  he excelled in school and in sports, finding that he truly enjoyed being part of a team and having people who might just have his back if he needed them to.  one of his best friends growing up was peter parker, someone who didn't have a lot of money, but who truly proved himself to be a genuine friend.  

however, harry wouldn't see peter once his father had deemed him old enough to attend boarding school, and he was shipped out to the ivy leagues.  he hardly had any communication with his father, only receiving birthday and christmas cards on occasion and even then, he could tell that one of his father's secretaries had put it together.  Sometimes they had even spelled his name wrong.  it soured him against his father, but there was still the hope that remained within him that he might be able to prove himself worthy of his father's attention and love, and so once again, he threw himself into his studies.  however, the more distant his father became, the more the anger built within harry until he started pushing away from everyone he knew.  Sure, he had more so-called 'friends' who would go out and party with him and be more than happy to spend his money, but at the end of the day, none of them would be there in a pinch if he needed them to be.  it wasn't an easy path for him to follow but it was the hand he had been dealt, and he did the best he could.

there were times while at boarding school he experimented with drugs, got involved in some pretty nasty messes, but his money always came through in the end and he'd walk away without issue.  the longest he had ever been detained was about an hour before one of his father's lawyers had come and bailed him out.  when he received a letter (type-written of course and once again most likely from his father's secretary) from his father telling him that if he didn't shape up, he was going to put him out on the streets, harry removed himself from the bad crowed he had gotten involved in and  began putting more effort into school.  by this time, it wasn't so much about pleasing his father as it was simply to prevent himself from being suddenly disowned.  he had never experienced a life without PRIVILEGE and didn't really fancy experiencing it, so he shaped up.  slowly, his own sense of pride began to take over and he wanted to show his father that he was not worthless and that he was more than capable of taking over oscorp when it was his turn.

it seemed that time would come much sooner than he initially realized.

his father got sick during his last year at boarding school and his condition began  to deteriorate at a rapid rate once harry entered his freshman year of college.  he had yet to see his father or find out what mysterious illness was slowly killing him, but the men who worked for his father would send him occasional updates.  However, one afternoon, several of his father's men came to see him at university to tell him that he had to come home immediately.  having not been home in years, it was not something harry looked forward to, but his father had requested his appearance and so, as the dutiful son, he OBLIGED even if it was the last thing he wanted to do.  

when he returned to their nyc home, harry was taken to see his father and for the first time saw just how bad his father looked.  his father revealed to him that he was the victim of a disease called Retroviral Hypodysplasia and that it was hereditary, therefore harry would also eventually succumb to it.  it had completely deformed his father and it was clear that it was affecting his mental state as well, and it terrified harry that that might happen to him as well.  although he had never been someone who was extremely patient, harry had always had decent control over his temper and anger, but lately it had begun to flare more easily, which was apparently one of the side effects to this ILLNESS.  there was also the risk of insanity, which harry refused to let happen to him.  his father died shortly after he came to speak to him and harry was made ceo of oscorp.  it was now his time to run the family business and failure was not an option.  he would show the world that harry osborn was noe just some daddy's little rich kid.  No, he would prove to them that he deserved his new role, more than deserved it, and that it was time to take oscorp to the next level.  

the city spread out beneath him as harry sat in the curved desk chair, his fingers steepled at his lips.  having taken over oscorp only the day prior, there was so much that had to be done and he had not stopped since he had entered that board room and told the board members where they stood and what he expected of them.  However, right now, he had a few blessed moments of peace and so he had retired to his office to escape the hustle and bustle of the oscorp building. his office was large and spacious with a full wall view of the city that spread out to all sides surrounding oscorp.  It was truly a spectacular view but harry found he couldn't truly appreciate it.  his mind was a whirlwind with recent events, having just returned from empire state university where he was getting his degree in political science.  he wouldn't have come home if he didn't have to, but he had been told that his father was fading fast and wanted to speak to him before it was too late.  Why the man suddenly wanted to talk to Harry, he hadn't known at the time.  he had been practically ignored for most of his life, being sent off to boarding school when he was a kid and he could count the times that his father had actually interacted with him face to face on one hand.  


but now his father was dead and he was the new ceo of oscorp.  twenty years old, and in charge of one of the most powerful and influential organizations in the world.  no pressure or anything of course. He knew the board of directors his father had left behind wanted him to fail and they would try to weasel their way into power, but he wasn't going to let them.  harry osborn was no pushover and if he had to fire their sorry asses he would, he could care less.  but right now he still needed them until he got his feet secured beneath him.  seeing peter the other day had been good and for the first time in awhile he had been able to relax and even laugh with his best friend, but now it was back to the grind.  he had to make sure oscorp didn't fail and remained strong, but when he kept running into road blocks on what projects oscorp was working on it was extremely frustrating.  he was the damn ceo for crying out loud.  if they thought they could keep treating him like a kid, they were dead wrong and would be idiots to underestimate him.  he had a  lot of work to do and truthfully, he didn't really have anyone he could truly count on.  just because he was wealthy and he had been born of PRIVILEGE didn't mean he wasn't lonely, and some days he felt it more than others.

with a sigh, he pushed himself up from his chair and headed for the door.  it was time to see if his assistant had gathered all the information he had requested.  As he pushed open the door, he suddenly felt a wave of nausea hit him and for a moment, there was blackness.  He put a hand up to his head, stumbling slightly, and then fell to his knees.  When he opened his eyes and his vision cleared, he was confused for a moment as he looked at what appeared to be pavement beneath him.  Then the sudden blaring of a car horn made him jerk his head up and leap out of the way just in time before a nyc taxi came barreling by.  Now sitting at the side of the street, he simply stared at the cars that passed by, his heart pounding in his chest.  what the hell had just happened?  Harry climbed to his feet, brushing off DEBRIS from his black jeans and black leather jacket, and tried to wrap his mind around what had just happened.  He had just been in his office in oscorp and now he was in the middle of the street?  Harry began making hi way through the crowd of people, confusion clear on his feature.  pausing, he looked up and saw what was the oscorp building, except it looked different from what he remembered.  frowning, he began walking again, heading for the building and planning to get some answers.
