Samus Aran

[BASIC INFO]

• Name: Samus Aran

• Birthday:

• Age: Early-to-mid-thirties

• Nationality/Ethnicity: White Human Woman (infused with Chozo, and Metroid DNA

• Sexuality: Pansexual

• Build: Athletic, Muscular yet slim under the armor, though her superhuman abilities may be accountable to her muscle/bone density given her hybrid genetics and augmentations. She has a 'resting bitch face', though it's more like a grumpy tired cat in her case. She has beautiful (yet tired looking) facial features and a small mole under the left side of her lip.

• Hair: Long blonde hair usually tied in a ponytail with a red band

• Eyes: Slightly tired/annoyed looking blueish-green eyes

• Height: 6'3" (190.50 cm)

• Weight: 90 kg (198 lbs)

• Scent: Industrial, Space, Coffee,

• Clothes: Samus' most notable piece of equipment is her Power Suit, which has become virtually synonymous with her own identity. This suit was given to her during her time with the Chozo and was built to be fused with her mind, body, and spirit. The original Power Suit was destroyed when Samus crash-landed on Zebes after an ambush by Space Pirates, but her duel with the Ruins Test gave her a new, upgraded suit, which is able to absorb dozens of upgrades of alien origin. The Power Suit's main purpose is to protect Samus from adverse environments and enemy fire, and it can be upgraded to dozens of other forms, each with its own different advantages. While some suits are stronger than others and have different abilities, they all maintain the same basic shape and usage

Samus's Power Suit comes with a standard Power Beam and its Oxygen Supply Equipment allows her to survive almost indefinitely underwater and in outer space, including the ability to resist most airborne toxins. Its basic functions are not always sufficient for a busy Bounty Hunter, so the Chozo used a modular construction, allowing the suit to be outfitted with a wide variety of weaponry and additional armor. The Chozo themselves left many such tools on various planets they inhabited, including the Varia Suit and Gravity Suit upgrades. The Luminoth, another ancient race technologically equal to the Chozo, were able to produce modifications compatible with the Power Suit, including the Dark Suit and the Light Suit (although they are unrecognized until Samus meets U-Mos). A considerable amount of the Power Suit is biological, which presumably results in the suit's Phazon corruption following Samus's encounter with the Omega Pirate. Exposure to the large quantity of unrefined Phazon ore causes a kind of mutation, rendering the suit impervious to radiation from blue Phazon, and allowing Samus to fire the devastating Phazon Beam under certain conditions.

On its most basic level, the Power Suit contains 99 units of energy that sustain it. This amount is increased by 100 units whenever Samus acquires an Energy Tank, but if completely drained, it becomes unable to protect Samus. Thus, she is forced to revert to the Zero Suit, a blue bodysuit that grants weaker protection and is equipped with a stun pistol, the Paralyzer.

While active, the Power Suit biologically bonds with Samus and cannot be removed without her cooperation. It has been observed on many occasions that the method that Samus uses to remove the Power Suit is to have it dematerialize with a bright flash. When the suit is inactive, Samus is able to retain the upgrades within herself until it becomes active again (as observed in the events of Metroid: Zero Mission). It has also been observed that she can have it materialize back at will, as seen several times taking place in the origins manga, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and at the start of Metroid: Other M. This suggests that this suit is not designed to be removed like regular armor, and that it is somehow equipped or removed by using an energy-to-matter process. However, it has been shown that at least the helmet can be removed manually, as Samus demonstrates this in some of the special endings in the series. Even when dematerialization is not possible, the Galactic Federation has been able to modify the Power Suit while she is unconscious. In the first instance of this, they add Phazon Enhancement Device functionality to take advantage of a Phazon infection in her bloodstream, creating the PED Suit. Later, the weaker Fusion Suit is built on the remains of Samus's Power Suit after large portions are surgically removed due to an X Parasite infestation.

The Power Suit is apparently able to assimilate almost any technological upgrade into its system, regardless of the upgrade's origins. This is shown when Samus acquires the Affinity Weapons created by various races other than the Chozo, the upgrades from the three other Bounty Hunters in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and the Hazard Shield and Nova Beam, both of which are of Space Pirate design. These assimilation abilities are not unlimited, however; the suit is unable to assimilate the (likewise unidentified) Plasma Beam, Gravity Suit, and Space Jump upgrades in Metroid: Zero Mission, despite them being of Chozo origin. This is because her original Power Suit was developed in a fairly recent time period and incompatible with the three archaic upgrades. Even when compatible, a new item is listed as unidentified in some cases, such as the Energy Transfer Module before Samus meets U-Mos. For uncertain reasons, the suit also does not recognize Power Bomb Tanks in Metroid Dread before she acquires the associated upgrade from E.M.M.I.-07PB.

When Samus works with the Federation Police Force, she has a symbol on the left shoulder of her Power Suit. It resembles a spiraling galaxy, possibly a Federation mark. Another small feature of the Power Suit is a glowing green (or blue) "L" shape on the left chest plate. In Metroid Prime, the shape points outward, as opposed to the inward shape from other games. In Metroid: Other M, the Power Suit has a yellow/gold coloration with the large shoulderpads of the Varia Suit, though it should be noted that this is likely due to her possessing the Varia Feature, which remains inactive until Commander Adam Malkovich authorizes its use. However, in Super Metroid, the front-facing sprite used in elevators and Data Save Units has flat shoulders; this is likely attributed to Samus having only the basic Power Suit at the time. The large-shouldered yet yellow Power Suit is likely a result of the Legendary Power Suit. Despite this, when the Varia Suit reverts to the Power Suit in Metroid Prime, the shoulderpads become flat and orange, and stretch all the way to her shoulders, while before the obtainment of the new Power Suit, the shoulders "fan" up and extend (in height) past Samus's head. This is shown again in Metroid: Samus Returns when she begins the game with only her basic Power Suit, Power Beam, and Missile Launcher, though like in Metroid Prime, her suit regains its round shoulderpads after obtaining the Varia Suit.

In Metroid: Other M, Samus's visor is most of the time transparent, allowing her face and hair to be seen, but oftentimes, her visor will flash light green and become opaque. How she can see through it when opaque this is unknown, though it is likely that it works akin to a one-way mirror that allows Samus to see out while others cannot see in. She normally does this in combat situations, but disables the tint when speaking or in a non-hostile situation. When her health drops to critical levels, the tint turns red-orange, but it turns back to green when she restores enough energy. The visor does not do this in other games; instead it is normally semitransparent.

The Power Suit in Metroid Dread (and the current one she wears) gains a unique appearance as the original Power Suit regenerates following Samus's surgery in Fusion. It is blue and white in color, and has shoulders similar to the PED Suit, with organic-like strands covering the outer and inner layers. The helmet and visor are elongated and sharp, akin to that of the redesigned Varia Suit in Metroid: Samus Returns. The talon-like extensions of the previous helmet are absent, but retain the visor's three points.

Samus's Power Suit requires superhuman levels of concentration and mental determination to operate efficiently.[5] Due to years of training with the Chozo, Samus learns how to control her emotions and maintain the suit's use for long periods of time.

In Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus removes her Power Suit after escaping the exploding Tourian, believing that the mission is over and also to relieve herself of the suit. However, Space Pirates ambush her and succeed in forcing her to crash-land back on Zebes; the subsequent crash destroys her ship and evidently the hardware necessary to resummon her Power Suit. Samus later obtains a new suit after defeating the Ruins Test in Chozodia. This new suit (which Samus uses for all her subsequent missions) demands the same methods of control as the previous one, and while Samus is almost always in control, there are occasions where she experiences lapses in her focus, especially in times of extreme anxiety and trauma.

In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Samus is shown removing her helmet and regurgitating Phazon after unintentionally absorbing Mogenar's Phazon corruption.

When Samus is faced with her arch-nemesis Ridley, his shocking return on the BOTTLE SHIP combined with the psychological stress of the mission, grief over the baby's death, loss of purpose after the destruction of the Space Pirates during the Final Conflict, and various emotions resulting from her reunion with Adam and Anthony Higgs, renders her unable to repress her emotions and she suffers a posttraumatic stress disorder-related breakdown, causing her suit to dematerialize and render her defenseless. She also loses composure when she is hit by a Freeze Gun shot during an encounter with a Baby Metroid later on. In this instance, it is unlikely that the shot itself is the cause of her suit's failure, but rather catalyzed because of her conflicting emotions about killing the creature at the time (it reminds her of the baby). Weakened by the blast and the revelation that Adam shot her prevents Samus from reactivating the suit, preventing her from stopping Adam from sacrificing himself to destroy the Unfreezable Metroids. However Adam's heroic sacrifice gives Samus an eye-of-the-storm clarity and she reactivates her suit in order to carry out Adam's final orders. Finally, after returning to the BOTTLE SHIP following MB's death, she disables her suit by choice when she shares a moment with Adam's helmet, but this proves to be a mistake yet again, as the Countdown soon starts and she is forced to escape in her Zero Suit.

The Varia Suit (バリアスーツ Baria Sūtsu?), alternatively referred to as Barrier Suit[1] and Varia Feature[2] is a Power Suit upgrade. Samus Aran is most commonly depicted wearing this suit, but like many of her other upgrades, it is lost at or prior to the beginning of most games, requiring her to track the upgrade down at a later point in time. It is acquired by collecting an item, which is called the Varia in Metroid and Return of Samus.

In general, the Varia Suit reduces damage received and protects Samus Aran from extreme heat. The maximum temperature that the Varia Suit can protect against is unknown, but the Gravity Suit is generally required for some of the higher temperature liquids. The name "Varia" is a mistranslation of the word "barrier" (although the Return of Samus manual uses the correct translation), which describes its shielding properties; coincidentally, it also resembles the English words "variety" or "variable", referring to how the suit can handle a variety of temperatures, a trait demonstrated in Metroid Fusion.

The Gravity Suit (グラビティスーツ Gurabiti Sūtsu) (Gravity Feature in Metroid: Other M) is an upgrade for Samus Aran's Power Suit. As its name implies, the Gravity Suit's primary function is to negate extreme gravitational effects around its wearer, such as zero gravity in space.

Usually obtained after the Varia Suit, the Gravity Suit enhancement changes the orange plates of Samus's armor to purple, while the visor and lights are often turned blue. In Metroid Prime, the Gravity Suit also changes the lights in the Varia Suit's pauldrons to solid bands. The version featured in Metroid: Samus Returns also alters the structure of the Power Suit, adding more lights to the shoulder and thigh armor, while the purple plating also extends to the back and sides of the torso.

When wearing the Gravity Suit, Samus is able to move unhindered in environments with abnormal gravity and negates the resistance that would normally be exerted on her in liquid environments. Depending on the version, the Gravity Suit may also impart some additional properties: The model featured in Metroid Prime gives Samus a clearer view while underwater, whereas, in Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus Returns, and Metroid Dread, the upgrade reduces the damage she receives to a greater extent than the Varia Suit alone and negates damage sustained from contacting magma. In Super Metroid, Metroid: Other M, Metroid: Zero Mission, and Metroid: Samus Returns, it is the final suit that Samus acquired.

Other M's Gravity Feature has the same gravity-negating property of the typical Gravity Suit, but does not alter the appearance of the Power Suit itself: instead, the suit only generates a pinkish aura when in use, in a manner similar to the Space Pirates' Hazard Shield in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Only when its gravity-altering powers are in effect, the suit gains a purple aura and turns her visor, chest plate, shoulderplate, Arm Cannon's green lining, and the hind knee joints lights pink. It negates the extreme gravity in certain areas of Sector 2 / Cryosphere near Sector Zero, and while it does not negate lava damage, it activates its defensive aura should Samus come into contact with lava. The Gravity Feature also protects Samus from air currents when an area of the ship is decompressing, as seen in the Control Bridge when she fights Phantoon. It should be noted that the Gravity Feature's damage reduction will always take place, even if the aura is not active.

In Metroid Dread, the Gravity Suit is required for Samus to not receive damage from extreme cold. This differs from Fusion, where the Varia Suit is sufficient to protect her from it.

While the Gravity Suit is not acquired in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the Luminoth have an upgrade analogous to it in the form of the Gravity Boost accessory.

Space Pirates seem to have copied Gravity Suit technology, as scans in Metroid Prime claim that Aqua Pirates use Gravity Suit technology to survive underwater. In Super Metroid, the Pink Space Pirates in the underwater region of Maridia may also use this technology.

In Cataris, several Chozo Gravity Suits[1] are found suspended by machinery over lava. These Gravity Suits are unique in design, with an orange and grey color scheme and a domed helmet that is not seen on Samus's Gravity Suit nor the armor worn by Chozo Soldiers. The Mawkin tribe likely used these Gravity Suits to survive the volcanic environment of Cataris.

Zero Suit Beneath the Power Suit, Samus wears a skin-tight bodysuit known as the Zero Suit. Because of its negligible weight, this suit allows Samus to perform at top physical performance level and gives some weak protection from enemy fire. She also owns an emergency pistol known as the Paralyzer, which auto-charges to fire stunning shots, though it has no lethal capacity. While in the Zero Suit, Samus receives much more damage, but is more agile. She is capable of grabbing and hanging from ledges and performing Wall Jumps due to her already present superhuman acrobatic skills from her Chozo DNA and training. In lieu of the Morph Ball, Samus navigates small paths by crawling on her hands and knees. She retains any Power Suit upgrades she has acquired, but is unable to manifest or utilize them in any way (with exception of Energy Tanks in Zero Mission). In Zero Mission and Other M, she also carries the Paralyzer with her, which briefly stuns her foes with an energy blast, but must recharge between shots. The Zero Suit is Chozo technology, as she is shown to be wearing it during her Chozo DNA transplant, as depicted in a flashback in Metroid Dread. It has their symbol implanted on the back, breast, and hand, and Samus is capable of equipping and removing the Power Suit via said symbols. It is possible that these are energy-matter converters, transforming the Power Suit and any upgrades into pure energy and storing it via a mental command. When it receives another mental command, it releases the energy, which then reverts to its natural, corporeal form. Samus demonstrates activating her Power Suit through the Zero Suit in Other M. First, the lights on the back flash once, before a blast is fired from the breast sigil, and the Power Suit materializes over her body.

It is unknown what the Zero Suit is composed of, though it appears to be composed of some sort of firm polymer that enables Samus to stretch in different positions while still holding together. The Zero Suit appears to be indestructible or at least very sturdy, as it is never visibly torn or damaged by enemy attack. It is also unknown how Samus equips and removes it, as the Zero Suit does not have any zippers or belts. It is possible that it is removed in a similar way to the Power Suit: by deforming at Samus's will. Finally, in Zero Mission, Samus is still capable of downloading map information in Zero Suit form, which she does aboard the Space Pirate Mother Ship. How she does this is also unknown.

Since the process of wearing the Power Suit requires the utmost mental concentration, Samus has been trained by the Chozo to control her emotions so as to remain perfectly calm. Feelings of intense emotion cloud not only her judgement, but her ability to concentrate with the immense strain of activating her Power Suit. Being unable to do so results in the suit immediately dissipating, leaving her in her Zero Suit and vulnerable to attack. This occurs twice, on one occasion against Ridley's clone, and when Samus is shot in the back by Adam Malkovich to temporarily incapacitate her so she cannot stop him from entering Sector Zero. Her emotional state in the latter instance leaves her unable to concentrate enough so she could maintain the Power Suit.

• Speech Style: Blunt, quiet, Assertive, near mute, monologuer,

[CORE]

• Personality: Samus is a heroine of few words, and a fearsome warrior. She remains quiet, humble, and solemn despite her great accomplishments, and has devoted her life to maintaining peace in the galaxy. Her main enemies are the Space Pirates - especially Ridley, who was personally responsible for the death of her mother. Despite her tragic origins, Samus has been shown to have unparalleled willpower and resourcefulness, succeeding where thousands failed and stopping at nothing to save the galaxy from any threat that may arise. Such is Samus' determination that she was even willing to sacrifice herself to prevent the spread of the body-snatching X Parasites.

Although Samus works for the betterment of the galaxy and frequently collaborates with the Galactic Federation, she is a lone wolf at heart, only accepting their orders due to their common goals and bounties. She has little respect for authority and dislikes being told what to do, only allowing such supervision from those she trusts such as Adam Malkovich, and rejecting others such as Raven Beak or even the Galactic Federation when their goals no longer intersected with hers. In her youth, Samus had an especially strong rebellious streak due to her turbulent emotional state; this earned her the attention of her colleagues, resulting in Adam Malkovich developing the phrase "Any objections, Lady?" to acknowledge her at the end of briefings.

Despite her reputation for combat, Samus is also known for her compassion, and has consistently stood up to secure the helpless and downtrodden. Three notable instances of this were when she volunteered to single-handedly save the Luminoth race from the brink of extinction, when she helped innocent Etecoons and a Dachora escape a self-destructing Zebes, and when she swore to Quiet Robe to put an end to Raven Beak's evil ambitions. In Metroid II, Samus bonded with a baby Metroid born in front of her eyes, and chose to spare it, possibly recalling her three-year-old self during the massacre on K-2L. She entrusted it to the Ceres Space Colony, expressing faith that the specimen might be used for good. When Samus witnessed the Metroid sacrifice itself to save her from Mother Brain, she was heartbroken for some time.

Witnessing her parents' deaths at the hands of Space Pirates left Samus with post-traumatic stress disorder, which manifested as a severe panic attack upon her first encounter with Ridley in adolescence. She appears to have since learned to handle this trauma, and has rarely hesitated to do battle with her nemesis since. Upon learning that Ridley had survived their first battle on Zebes, Samus expressed only silent anger and wasted no time rushing to her Gunship to chase him to the planet Tallon IV.

Bryan Walker said that he and his Retro Studios colleagues felt that Samus was akin to Boba Fett from Star Wars, but with a sense of humor. In the Metroid Prime series, Samus was always animated as subdued, stoically walking into rooms, with intense movement coming during action scenes. Yoshio Sakamoto said in an interview that with each Metroid game, he has gained a deeper understanding of who Samus is, and what she is thinking in each of her missions. According to Yosuke Hayashi, Samus is like a daughter to Sakamoto.

During the events of Metroid: Other M, Samus was in an especially vulnerable state following the death of the Metroid hatchling, the destruction of her childhood home Zebes, and an unexpected reunion with her former CO, Adam Malkovich. Due to this, the game is rife with inner monologues by Samus to share her angst with the player. Desperate to prove she had overcome her old habits of being rebellious and insecure, Samus willingly placed herself back under Adam's command on the BOTTLE SHIP in an attempt to regain his trust. When facing the cloned Ridley, Samus realized she was not over her insecurities after all, causing her to enter a state of shock (likely a relapsed PTSD attack). Afterwards, she briefly relapsed into rebelling against Adam, even believing MB's lie that he endorsed the BOTTLE SHIP's Metroid program, but upon gaining full confirmation of Adam's trust outside Sector Zero, she completely regained her composure.

[ABILITIES]

• Skills: Samus Aran's infusion with Chozo DNA (later revealed to be a combination of both Thoha and Mawkin DNA), as well as her warrior training since her childhood, has transformed her into a superhuman athlete. She also possesses a lithe figure that allows her to crawl through tunnels and gaps that would normally require the usage of the Morph Ball. As a result of the Chozo's influence, Samus is capable of running at speeds and jumping at heights far past normal human ability, as well as surviving falls that would otherwise kill an ordinary human. Samus is also more adaptive to foreign alien environments that normal humans cannot survive in, such as the majority of Zebes and Elysia.

Samus is shown to possess incredible physical strength. In addition to her natural abilities, her Power Suit boosts her capabilities to even greater heights. As such, she has performed feats such as lifting and tossing creatures much larger than herself, such as Ghalmanians. Perhaps most noteworthy is the Vorash, which she can throw with enough force to kill. At the age of fourteen she was able to destroy a Work Robot by punching it, which are notably immune to even her Super Missiles. Samus has also been able to ward off giant monsters' attacks such as Kraid swinging his claws at her, and was also able to pry apart and hold his jaws open.

Samus also demonstrates good sharpshooting and marksman skills, and is an expert with many types of weapons; from using basic beams, to missiles, explosives, sniper weapons, and more, she is tremendously deadly in combat. She is able to keep up her aim with fast moving targets like Serris, or target precise weak points on foes she can't directly eliminate with firepower alone. She also exhibits prodigious puzzle-solving and hacking skills. All of these are, of course, augmented further by her Power Suit which offers her tools such as lock-on aim or the scan visor.

While Samus prefers her Arm Cannon to deal with most threats, she has also demonstrated some proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, using her considerable strength and athleticism to great advantage. An effective grappler, she will wrestle large beasts into submission before executing them with a point blank shot. She was shown as able to hold her own against a very large group of Chairman Keaton's guards who mistook her as an assassin by grappling with, disarming, and non-lethally incapacitating multiple of their group before she dealt with the actual threat. Other examples of her skills include effectively parrying to disarm X Parasite Chozo Soldiers attacking her with their spears, or deflecting Raven Beak's lunging strikes, often Counter Attacking with martial arts of her own or using the opening to shoot. She has disabled near-indestructible foes such as the E.M.M.I. robots by breaking out of their grasp and landing precisely placed strikes. While Samus seems to favor acting defensively, she is still just as effective at fighting offensively, usually favoring swinging her weapon arm as a blunt weapon, or utilizing a series of kicks.

Her training began at the age of three and continued up until she was fourteen years old. The extent of Samus' training after she joined the Federation Police is currently unknown, but it is clear that the Federation has made one major augmentation to her abilities: her infusion with Metroid DNA. This infusion was done in a last-ditch attempt to save her life after she was infected with the X Parasites, and thus it was not completely known at the time what the side effects would be.

As a result of the infusion, Samus gained immunity to X Parasites, as well as the ability to absorb them for energy. However, she also inherited the Metroid's crippling weakness to cold, though this disability was toned down after downloading the Varia Suit upgrade and later negated altogether after she absorbed the essence of the SA-X. However, Samus did not inherit the Metroids' ability to float or to absorb bio-energy from life forms beyond the X Parasites.

This later changed on ZDR when the Metroid DNA in her body begins to fully awaken and allows her to absorb bio-energy, however, it also results in a rapid transformation that turns Samus into a unique form of Metroid/human/Chozo hybrid. She also ends up displaying the ability to absorb energy from machinery as a result of the aforementioned metamorphosis. This eventually had nearly disastrous consequences where she was unable to pilot her ship out of ZDR without draining its energy, until she absorbed the X Parasite of Quiet Robe, a Thoha Chozo, re-stabilizing her DNA. A large part of the reason behind the sudden changes on ZDR was because of her encounter with the Mawkin leader Raven Beak, as Metroids were programmed to react violently to Mawkin, although Raven Beak implied that she would have undergone the changes immediately after the Vaccine "Metroid" procedure earlier had she not possessed Thoha DNA beforehand.

• Equipment:

Samus's Gunship For transportation, Samus uses her Gunship, which usually resembles her helmet. Samus has been seen in five Starships and Gunships of unique design: Her first Starship design was used and destroyed on her initial Zero Mission, while the second Gunship was used in her mission to Tallon IV and the mission to the Tetra Galaxy. She has had other two ships custom-made for her in Aliehs III's shipyard: Her modular Gunship used in the waning days of the Phazon crisis, which combined Chozo and Federation technology, and the iconic Gunship for which she is best known. The latter Gunship model was first seen in the mission to Aether, and stayed with Samus until its destruction in SR388's asteroid field. After its destruction, Samus was assigned a new Starship from the Federation with an onboard A.I. for her investigation of the BSL.

It is currently unknown if/how her first two ships and the "iconic" ship are related, although information on the Metroid Prime website suggests that her Gunship in that game was the same one as her Zero Mission's Starship, perhaps salvaged from the wreck on Zebes.

Misplacing Upgrades A curious aspect of the Metroid series is that Samus begins most games with a minimal amount of equipment, even after accumulating a sizable number of upgrades in the preceding game that would help her on subsequent missions. This is evidently a necessary gameplay mechanic needed for every title in the series, but it is unknown why this occurs so frequently in-universe, and has become a subject of humor over the years.

Main article: Physical amnesia Later games in the series have presented plot-related explanations for this: In games such as Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Samus starts out with a considerable amount of gear but is quickly stripped of most of it by attacks or unfortunate incidents. Samus then regains these abilities over the course of the game, in addition to a vast array of other upgrades that expand her arsenal well beyond its initial size. Additionally, Samus seems to relinquish most of her upgrades at the end of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, explaining why she only has her basic abilities by the time of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

[BACKSTORY: Samus Aran is a Bounty Hunter that works with the Galactic Federation several times in the past. She has exterminated the Metroids, the Space Pirates, Ridley, Mother Brain, Metroid Prime/Dark Samus, Phazon, the Ing, Gorea, the Galactic Federation's special-forces unit bioweapons program, MB, the X Parasites, Raven Beak and the Mawkin, and she has terminated numerous hostile life-forms on various planets. 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.]
