Sam Heart
Samuel Alexander Heart
Alias: (not friends)The Highwayman, (friends)Sam/Sammy/Sammo/Samsta
Age: 30
Nationality: Australian
Gender: Male
Appearance: Sam is a very large individual standing at 2.21 meters and weighing around 136 kilograms. While he's not a hulking beast like Zangief, he is still packing a lot of muscle under his bulky coat. Speaking of, the man almost never takes off his clothes, and when he does he's always discrete about it making sure people don't see his malformed body underneath. If you were to see under his highwayman getup you'd be greeted with the sight of pale grey flesh, Sam's skin seems to both sag and be firm at the same time. Sam's face is also not the prettiest thing to look at having creases and wrinkles everywhere, the only redeeming quality being his deep blue eyes, and remarkably well kept black hair.
History: Sam's early life was nothing particularly special for an Aussie farm kid, he did all the normal boy things like go to school and play with friends. Sam always saw himself as a farm boy though, never once did his mind every stray from wanting to take over the family farm. The only thing that rivalled his determination to take over the family business was his love of folk tales, especially ones about the mysterious and magical ways of the indigenous Australian people or the wild outlaws like Ned Kelly.
It was only in his mid-twenties did something in Sam's life drastically change. By this point, Sam had taken the helm of the family farm and was looking for a girl who'd be willing to marry him, but he'd also noticed that all the normal jobs he did around the farm were getting harder. Originally he thought it was just that he was getting older, but after doing a quick bit of research online he found out that the body didn't start to degrade for at least a few more years. So Sam went to get himself looked at to see what was wrong, this is when Sam's life got flipped upside down.
Sam was diagnosed with ALS. He only had a projected 3 more years to live, though he was encouraged with statistics of those who'd managed to outlive their expiration dates by many years. None of that mattered to Sam, it didn't matter if he lives 3 more years or 6 more years, either way, his life had just been cut short. This is what lead Sam to start seeking out every kind of treatment he could find on the internet, looking up all the hospitals that offered special ALS treatment. But none of them worked. Transplants, nerve therapy, nothing. He'd spent 2 of his three remaining years trying to find a way to beat his condition, and he was running out of options.
Desperate for a cure Sam started looking in less and less savoury locations, eventually finding himself in contact with some people who were doing... Kida sorta super illegal genetic testing, with dangerous chemicals and compounds, deemed unsafe for medical use. This of obviously wasn't a concern for Sam anymore, who at this stage was struggling to speak let alone walk. The only thing that mattered to him was the incredible 100% success rate that these people had, and it really didn't matter if they were lying or not at this point, for Sam it was do or die. Funny thing is the 100% success rate wasn't a lie at all, they just neglected to mention the horrible mutations and side effects that came with their cure.
After his 'cure' Sam decided to make a new name for himself, modelling himself of the many outlaws and highwayman that he'd loved as a kid. Roaming the countryside surviving of what little scraps of food he was able to plunder, and looking for a way to live in his prison of a body. That's when Eve Roulette made contact with him and proposed he help her clean the planet of some filth. Not having any reason to refuse Sam accepted Eve's offer.
Motivations: Sam just wants to find a new life, maybe meet some people he could call friends. And the thought of pounding on some low life shit stains is also quite appealing.
Sexuality: Straight. Though he's pretty sure he's not cut out for that kind of thing anymore.
Likes: - Animals
- Horse tranquillizer
- The country
- Kids
- Large doorways
Dislikes: - Cameras
- Fragile objects
- Impatient people
- Running
General: Sam used to be a cheery outgoing gentleman before the mutations, he was always ready to meet new people and chat. Now he's much more reserved preferring to keep to himself despite his deep longing for companionship. He's also a lot more of a, punch now talk never kind of guy, he's the dude who'd just walk up to the villain while they did their evil monologue and just punch them in the face. When he is in a conversation with someone he tends to prefer grunts and gestures over speaking, mostly because it's hard for him to speak because of his condition.
Skills: Stew cooking god- This man can make a half decent stew out of practically anything. Who knows what kind of stuff he could whip together with proper ingredients.
Tall- Can always reach the top shelf.
Fighting Style: Sam isn't an experienced fighter in the slightest, relying on his brute force and durability to come out on top in battle. While nothing beats a solid punch, Sam knows that he's very slow and tries to overpower his opponents with grapples or by intentionally taking hits so he can get an opening for a counter attack.
Sam's mutations did a lot more than fix his crippling weakness and fatigue, in fact, they improved his musculature and made him much much stronger than the ordinary man, able to perform great feats of strength. Hitting Sam wouldn't feel that much different from hitting a block of steel, this is not only because he's a totally jacked unit but also because his muscles are always tensed. This tension is a side effect from his mutation attempting to repair the neural links between his muscles and his brain. His body also repairs itself at an abnormally fast rate, around three times faster than normal. So his healing is quick comparatively, but it's not going to be saving his skin in the middle of a fight.
Weaknesses: The Chad stride- Because of Sam's constantly flexed muscles he has to actively fight against his body in order to get it moving, this, in turn, makes him tediously slow. Anyone who can jog and has half a brain could avoid Sam almost indefinitely.
Dam boi he thicc- Sam is a big guy, no question about that but in combat size doesn't always mean everything. Especially considering how slow he is, Sam struggles with projectiles most of the time his only option being to take the hit.
Special Techniques: - Knock knock- Sam holds out his hands ready to catch the next attack throw his way. If a melee attack connects with Sam (Be it fist or sword) Sam will clamp his hand down on the attack and then pull the foe into a powerful punch. (Doesn't work against projectiles)
- Pop pop- Sam aim's low swiping at an opponents legs in an attempt to grab them. If this connects Sam will pull his opponent's leg into the air before swinging them up then slamming them into the ground. (Think what Hulk did to Loki in the Avenger's movie but only one time.)
- Fight these tears- Sam pulls his head back before performing a powerful headbutt ignoring attacks along the way. (Super armour headbutt basically.)
Super Arts: Gon' give it to ya- After a brief windup Sam charges forward tackling anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in his way. Sam will grab onto the target so they can't escape and run them into the nearest wall or hard obstacle. After brutally slamming them into said wall/obstacle he finally lets them go dropping them to the floor... But I'm not done yet! Sam then leans down and grabs both his opponents legs and pick them up before slamming them lengthways into whatever obstacle he rammed them into earlier.
Exp: 6
Equipment: Same is a wanderer, nothing but the clothes on his back and the hat on his head.
Other: Sam may or may not be ticklish behind his right ear. Oh yeah Time Crisis baby, gimme that saucy shooter action.
