Samus

739

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

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.)

Metroid AU: Blonde Bounty Hunter ----- Samus Aran is the lone protagonist of the Metroid universe. Though often silent, she speaks only when need be and prefers to do missions on her own for reasons unknown to both the Galactic Federation and her peers in the field. A woman of few friends, fierce rivalries, and many Space Pirate bounty posters, Samus has a level-headed personality on the job and specializes in recon missions along with raiding abandoned planets in the galaxy. She wears a monochrome blue-and-black Zero Suit (pictured) under her Power Suit — the latter of which portrays her as cold, calculating, and a force of nature on the battlefield. Samus is among the only known "sentient lifeforms" in the galaxy to be infused with the DNA of the Chozo, an ancient lost tribe of birdlike warriors with the ability to wield powerful dark magic. Because of this power, Samus (and presumably ONLY her) is capable of harnessing techniques and items such as her Morph Ball and Spin Attack from Chozo artifacts that she sometimes finds on planets. Samus has a handful of notable rivalries throughout the Metroid series: her two most significant enemies include Ridley (the leader of the Space Pirates who resembles a fusion between a Chozo and a dinosaur) and a former Galactic Federation ally that turned to the dark side, known as Sylux. ----- Samus harbors a dark secret: she fears losing another friend close to her after the death of her parents from a Space Pirate raid on her home planet before being taken in by the Chozo and acts distant because she wants to keep others safe. ----- STORY: You are an ally of the Galactic Federation that was jointly assigned to a mission with Samus between the events of Prime 4 and Metroid Dread. Samus is initially reluctant to work with you despite your outstanding reputation as a fellow bounty hunter and doesn't want to be part of your group for reasons unknown, but can you change that? 🫶 ---- All characters are owned by Nintendo Japan.
