Samus Aran

""*What's past is prologue.*" - Samus

**Samus Aran** is a famous bounty hunter and former Spartan-II candidate, now a member of the Vindicates.

## History

Orphaned during a Space Pirate raid on her home of K-2L, Samus was then taken by ONI to become apart of the Spartan-II program. She was selected among fifty other candidates of 300 to undergo more severe augmentations earlier than the others, most of these candidates were meta-humans or had meta-genes dormant of some degree. She failed the augmentations and was crippled by them, and in transit to a medical facility was rescued by the mysterious Chozo (through none-violent means) and taken to Zebes where she was infused with their DNA and raised, trained and augmented to resume her fate of becoming a warrior, a super-soldier of unnatural capabilities. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police where she served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich, but she ultimately left to become a bounty hunter, though she was nonetheless recruited by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Armed in her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for her accomplishments on missions others thought impossible. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, taking down Yautja, Covenant species, Geth, and even a Cybertronian on 1v1 without much pause for concern.

After her accomplishments on Zebes she was betrayed by the Galactic Federation on their base/embassy over Earth. It is unknown whether or not the plot came from the highest command of the Federation or just a rogue cell. Samus, amidst the commotion of the betrayal was sought out and simultaneously rescued and recruited by Rhodey Stark.

## Personality and traits

Samus is most often the spitting image of stoic. When she's on a mission she is 100% focused on completing that mission as efficiently as possible. When working in a group this can make it seem like Samus is disconnected or heavily withdrawn, when she's really just intently concentrated on doing what she needs to do. So, keeping her emotions in check constantly are seen as a requirement for Samus. This is also due to her tragic past, as well as her warrior upbringing after being abducted by ONI and her subsequent training with the Chozo. However, this could be seen as a "cool and collected" state, because if Samus' emotions flair up, she tends to make rash decisions until she is calmed down. However, these moments are few and far between thanks to her training and years of combat experience.

She is not without her softer side however. Samus has had numerous friends in the past both in the Federation military and during her career as a Bounty Hunter. Samus is more than willing to accept help depending on her mission, and who she is getting help from. Those who cannot pull their own weight, might get in Samus' way or could get themselves killed are turned away or taken somewhere safe. Those who can hold their own and aide Samus in some way are more than welcome. That said, Samus despises taking orders, hence why she usually works alone. Samus is known to hold back on her more powerful weaponry if she has allies fighting along side her. Samus will still use her more powerful weapons if the need arises such as Super Missiles, provided her allies are out of the way. Samus is known to stop by bars after a mission or two in order to relax. She also has a soft spot for children due to Samus' own rough childhood. Even before her abduction by ONI, Samus' home, family and friends were destroyed by the Space Pirates. This caused Samus to be one of the most reserved Spartan II candidates. However, thanks to the Chozo raising her like she was their own child helped heal old wounds. This has allowed Samus to not be stuck in her shell and is able to open up, tell a few jokes and so on instead of being an alcoholic.

While in her Power Suit, Samus' visor is usually opaque or somewhat transparent, so the only emotion anyone will usually get is from her eyes. Even then body language is the only sure way to get a read on what Samus is thinking.

## Physical appearance

Samus is a human female with blonde hair and blue eyes. While wearing her Power Suit Samus has her hair tied in a pony tail while one bang sits in between Samus' eyes. Like nearly all other enhanced persons, Samus is extraordinarily tall for a human, especially a female, at 6'3" (1.9 m). Her weight of 198 lbs (90 kg) without her Power Suit is due to her dense skeletal and muscle structure, from both Spartan augmentation and Chozo DNA infusion. While not in the Power Suit, Samus wears her skin tight Zero Suit while on missions. The Zero Suit has appeared in more than one configuration such as a two piece and combat boots. She has been seen wearing other outfits before when in public such as this: https://www.metroid-database.com/old\_site/manga/official\_vol\_2\_en/ch\_0013/scaled/sc\_metroid\_v02\_ch0071.png. While in the Power Suit, Samus usually wear her trademark Varia Suit. The Varia Suit consists of a mostly orange color scheme while the helmet and part of the breastplate being red in color, while the inner parts of the suit's thighs remain yellow.

## Trivia

* Samus is the protagonist of the *Metroid* series.
* In the Amalgamation Universe Samus's origin story was altered a little bit due to the combined timeline. After her homeworld KL-2 was destroyed by Space Pirates at the age of 3 just as it was in the metroid timeline, she was abducted by ONI instead of being rescued and adopted by the Chozo. The rest of the candidates were abducted 2-3 years later, and the program in this universe had an early augmentation phase that included only 50 children out of the much larger 300. The earlier augmentations were thought to be more severe and would garner better results, and were mostly reserved for people with some kind of meta-gene or that were more durable than a typical spartan. She failed the augmentations and was crippled by then, but was then subsequently taken by the Chozo who fixed and augmented her more to the standards of her Metroid Universe counterpart.
* Samus' Power Suit has organic components to it that bonds the suit directly to Samus' body. The Power Suit is a part of Samus' body, which explains why the suit has never been stolen from Samus, although the exact details of how the suit is bonded to Samus are unknown.
* Samus' Power Armor as a whole is called the "Power Suit." However, Samus' Power Suit without any armor upgrades is also called the "Power Suit", since it's the base form of Samus' Power Suit.
