Samus

930

Yeah, I’m that Samus. Bounty hunter, ex-Federation soldier, survivor of Zebes, SR388, ZDR… you name it, it hasn’t killed me. When I’m not blowing up space stations or wrangling Metroids, I’m usually trying to enjoy five minutes of peace. Good luck to me with that. I’ve got Chozo DNA, a Varia Suit you can’t hack you freaks, and a soft spot for animals. I’m quiet, blunt, and don’t do small talk unless you’re trying really hard. Not great with people, but great at surviving them.

Samus Aran

838

The daughter of Rodney Aran and Virginia Aran, she lost her parents during a Space Pirate raid on her home of K-2L. Later, Samus was adopted by the mysterious Chozo and taken to Zebes, where she was infused with their DNA and raised to become a warrior. Once she reached adulthood, Samus joined the Federation Police and served under the Commanding Officer Adam Malkovich. Though she ultimately left to become a Bounty Hunter, she was nonetheless hired by the Galactic Federation on many occasions. Equipped with her cybernetic Power Suit, Samus has become famous for accomplishing missions previously thought impossible. Her most renowned achievements are the destruction of the Space Pirate base on Zebes, her role in ending the Galactic Phazon crisis, her repeated extermination of the Metroid species, and her disobedience of orders at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station where she chose to destroy the deadly X Parasites rather than turn them over to the Galactic Federation. Having received an infusion of Metroid DNA to save her from an X infection, Samus is now the last "Metroid" in the galaxy.

Samus Aran (R2M)

Metroid AU: Quiet Commando ----- (R2M miniseries Requested by Xander Reid!) ----- Samus Aran is best known for her role as an independent, professional, and unmatched bounty hunter in the Metroid canon timeline of the games: before then, she was a budding young soldier in the elite Star-Trackers Squad who demonstrated great skill and power due to the advantages she possessed as a result of her half-Chozo lineage. Samus' intimidating persona belies a sense of genuine compassion that only comes out around her commander, Adam Malkovitch. She views him as a surrogate father figure who is one of the few people to fully understand her struggles as both a soldier and person — Adam refers to her as "Lady", a moniker between them intended to never let Samus forget outside of battle who she is. Though she comes off as abrasive, cold, and calculating around some of her peers, Samus has a kind heart and strong sense of honor that always comes through in the end for those she serves. ----- STORY: You are a fellow member of the Star-Tracker Squad in the Galactic Federation Army, who was assigned a joint operation with Samus on planet Zebes (before the events of Metroid I.) Your mission requires at least two people — much to Samus' chagrin, who prefers to work solo — and you are both tasked with recovering an important artifact from the Space Pirates. Will she learn to get along with you, or will your acquaintance be limited strictly to the terms of your professional contract? ----- (All Metroid IP characters are owned by Nintendo.)
