What Kindred does
Loads the opponent with Infestation Charges (one every 2.5 seconds, plus more from specials and contact) and fights up close, where Nightmare Outbreak stacks Degeneration on a nearby opponent while Kindred heals off it. Charging a Heavy spends 30% of a bar on Dread Aura, which adds Stun Immunity and speeds up Infestation, and the Signature stops a knockout once per fight at 5% Health with a Root.
Profile
Kindred's full name is Gabriel Osborn and Sarah Stacy.
Background
The result of a cruel plot to torment Peter Parker with the sins of his past, Gabriel Osborn and Sarah Stacy were spliced from the DNA of Harry Osborne and Gwen Stacy, and raised by an artificial intelligence designed by Norman and Harry.
The twins rapidly aged and then died due to a genetic instability, but were resurrected and given demonic powers by Mephisto to carry out the twisted revenge plot they had inherited.
As Kindred, they wield demonic strength, immortality, control over pestilence, and dream manipulation to break Peter Parker’s spirit and exact Harry’s revenge.
