Basic info about your character: Harry was born to Emily and Norman Osborn, heir to a big and important weapons production company called Oscorp. One would think it's great, being the son of a CEO, being rich from the moment you're born. But Norman had lost his wife to Harry; Emily had fallen ill soon after Harry's birth, and had passed away after a year of bedrest. Harry was forced to live in his father's shadow, always trying and failing to gain his approval and being raised mainly by the mansion's staff. Consequently Harry was not given a very straightforward set of morals; he was taught to put business in front of everything, care only for himself, and take whatever he wants. But, being him, he retained that need for attention, the need to prove himself, to do anything as long as he could make someone proud.
As he entered public high school, after flunking every private school he'd ever been sent to, Harry became very popular. Mostly because he was rich and willing to throw it around to get the other kids to like him. Then he met Peter Parker; a boy who he innitially thought just saw himself as too cool to be around others, but quickly realized was just a victim of perpetual bullying. They became fast friends, and soon Harry was willing to get the crap beaten out of him to defend Peter from others. This backfired on him just as fast, as Norman assumed he was now being a rebel and getting into fights on purpose for attention.
Harry has been shown to be a sensitive soul; he moped to his friend Gwen on several occasions about how much he worries about his father. He is very affectionate to Peter, to the extent that guys are allowed to be in American society. He even wrote a play for Mary Jane Watson, as a sign of his attraction to her. Despite a short temper and questionable family life, he is rather sweet to his friends and doesn't mind bragging about how nice other people are, although his opinion of himself is pretty low thanks to his father.
Soon after he graduated high school, he lost his father in a battle of supers; his father had turned himself into the Green Goblin using Oscorp technology, and had been killed while attempting to murder Spiderman, the local vigilante. Harry was shattered by his loss; although he had constantly been shoved aside, Norman Osborn had meant the world to him. He immediately vowed to get Spiderman killed at any cost... and proceeded to discovered that Spiderman was infact Peter Parker once his plans came through. This made him jump to the obvious conclusion: that Peter had killed Harry's father, on purpose. With this in mind Harry followed his father's footsteps in taking the Goblin serum and gaining the hallucinations, the enhancements and an even shorter temper.
With this to aid him, Harry donned the new and improved flight suit and glider and went off to attack Peter. Their battle ended in the destruction of part of a brick building, plus serious brain injury and amnesia for Harry. He forgot Spiderman's identity, most of what he knew about his father and his friends, and a few other miscelanious memories. In this state he became innocent and carefree again, acting as if the events of the previous three movies had never happened, possibly becoming what he might have been without the influence from his father. It's this state that he'll be entering the island in, before his memories are returned in a moment of weakness.
As he currently is, Harry is a bright and high-spirited man. He makes a joke out of anything he can, to cheer others up and make them loosen up. Tension makes him nervous; in the back of his mind he is aware that self-pity and weakness will bring bad memories to mind. Unfortunately, the nervousness makes him ill-tempered and moody, as he has no idea how to bring the mood up past a certain point and is hopelessly irritated by his own short-comings. He tends to only see the good things in life, but forcefully so; he is fiercely loyal and loves telling others how great his friends are, but if he is reminded something that is wrong with his life he will snap at the one who has brought it up until they sidestep the topic. He is also shown to be rather snarky, and can still be very cheerful and caring despite his impatient nature. Though because everything seems to be a joke to him and he constantly pushes down the importance of anything negative, he often comes off as insensitive and rude. At least his two friends can tell the difference.
Harry loves like a puppy; he shows his affection whimsically and is totally bemused when others don't like him. He's happy to hold someone's hand, but constantly spurred by the fear that he's not doing enough and acting cold like his father, into going past his comfort zone to show how nice he is. With girls especially he comes off as overly flirtateous and touchy-feely, and he's been called a few rude synonyms for feminine by guys. He defends without thinking, barking at others without thinking of how he'll deal with retaliation. And often after outbursts he will reclude, hide away from the side of him that is not as cheery and friendly as he wants to be. He sees Mary Jane and Peter as his idols; two people who, despite everything that he is, still care about him. And therefore are more important to him than anything on earth. If either of them is upset and needs comfort, he is quick to put anything he's doing on hold simply to spend time with them and be there for them in any way they need.
Any powers we ought to know about: At the beginning of the third movie he was injected with a performance enhancer labeled the "Goblin serum"; it upgrades all aspects of the inhaler including muscle strength, muscle endurance, agility, spacial awareness, intelligence, confidence, temper, fighting spirit and so on, and has caused hallucinations and insanity to anyone exposed to the vapor.
He is also equipped with a flight suit that features retractable metal spikes along one arm, and a glider ressembling a snowboard that comes with a sword, more spikes, and a nice array of pumpkin bombs (which range in use from heat-seeking missles to time-bombs to nets).
