## Backstory

Sam Webster was born in the United States from an migrated Australian family due to legal issues in the Australian Commonwealth. Born in the Arizona State Hospital to two unnamed Australian parents, he grew up in an rather simple family with good income. Upon having awakened his quirk when he was five years old, unable to touch or even interact with anything for almost three months, wanted to become an pro hero.

Before he turned to the required age, he attended the University High School for his education as the age requirement to become an pro hero was at least minimum was eighteen, the age to join the US military. However his parents had him to do the student exchange program and was exchanged to Japan. He was rather intelligent even for his age, and was able to grasp an as Japanese called, "an unperfected by precise Japanese fluently", Japanese can understand him, but considered between good enough to perfect. This is where his hatred to pros comes into play, where he used his quirk to stop an villain from attacking, and soon after punished severely for his actions. While he was eighteen, he was deported back to America, but soon turned to the life as an villain. Abandoning his family to seek his villain course, he returned to Japan and taken on the moniker as **Amatsumikaboshi**  (天津甕星, *Ama-tsu-mika-boshi*?, Lit." "Dread Star of Heaven" or "August Star of Heaven"). He would start to operate in Japan as an villain, even tackling against the No. 5 hero Mirko and causing struggle in Mirko's ward.

## Personality

### Quirk

**Nonexistence** (存在しない, *Sonzaishinai*?) is Sam's quirk, and even considered the advanced variation of the Permeation quirk utilized by Mirio Togata, where unlike Permeation where Mirio is simple becomes intangible, Nonexistence takes it a step further, where in philosophical and scientific perspectives - Sam no longer "exists" upon activation. Hyōsetsu attempted to explain that Nonexistence erases Sam from existence and from the universe they inhabit, something from Ontology that Nonexistence rejects everything. This allows Sam to have the same application to Permeation, capable of phasing through walls, but among more things such as even floating and ability to levitate as nothing "no longer applies to him". However it has been shown that Nonexistence means Sam is unable to interact as well, shown with fighting two pro heroes, almost grabbing one, he was forced to use Nonexistence as All Might almost struck against him.

Sam's skill in Nonexistence essentially makes him an powerful adversary to any hero there is, similar to Permeation, Sam allows him to become intangible to the physical existence, since he "no longer exists". During combat, he uses Nonexistence at certain key situations and places, often using it as an type of "trick" in order to get closer without being touched. He demonstrated his quirk with he first encounter with Hyōsetsu, bypasses his defensive strike, and grabbing his arm, making an opening strike against the pro hero. Nonexistence grants other applications since nothing applies when in the state of Nonexistence, using it to toy other heroes, granting levitation and float. Ass previous stated, Sam uses Nonexistence as an trickster quirk, fooling pro heroes with the other applications it grants, such as flying to give the illusion of an "flying quirk" among other things, or use it to allow one pro hero to attack from his blind, then phasing through Sam to hit another in front. Another noted is he can uses Nonexistence to even turn invisible completely, giving the fact he had utterly erased himself before returning back to existence. However Nonexistence is without weaknesses, as Sam avoids combating against two or more pro heroes, as it ultimately leads to using Nonexistence more to avoid being struck by the stronger heroes, thus he can not fight gainst the heroes. He ofted avoids 1v2 or more and goes for the 1v1 encounters, but even then if one fast enough or has an ideal plan, they can hit Sam before Nonexistence kicks in. Hyōsetsu demonstrated his ability, where he was able to struck Sam before he turned Nonexistence on.
