Anime d20 -- Metroid Characters Much like characters from long-lasting animes, it is hard to decide exactly where along

to say this Samus is from. If there was a piece of gear I liked, I will likely sneak it in here. You all will just have to live with it. For any info one might want on Samus, see Wikipedia Samus Aran Samus in action, found here, and Samus in between missions, found here OTHER GAME NOTES

internal systems of the suit. Damage 3d8, Uses Energy. Super Missile - For more explosive punch, Super Missiles are the way to go. The missiles are manufactured by internal systems of the suit. Damage 6d8, Uses Energy. Item of Power - Chozo Battle Suit This is Samus' trademark combat system. While it begins as a potent platform, initially, it becomes MUCH more powerful as she collects technology bits throughout her quests. It counts as a sealed, permanent environment, and grants the following benefits/attributes: Armor 2, Heightened Senses 2 (x-ray, infrared), Enhance [Strength] 1, Special Movement 1 (wallbouncing) Varia Upgrade - This protects the suit and Samus from extreme heat, lava, and impact damage. It increases the Armor attribute by 2 ranks. Gravity Upgrade - This grants the suit freedom of movement in water, and other fluid mediums, as well as protecting against damage. It increases the Armor attribute by 1 ranks. Samus, drawn by ~Jorge-D-Fuentes, found at deviantART.com Item of Power - Speed Booster Samus gained this boot upgrade in order to increase her running speed, and to plow through obstacles and enemies. Personal Gear Hi-Jump Boots - Samus can vertically jump 30 feet. Space Jump - Samus can stay in the air, so long as she does nothing else in that round. Special Attack - Screw Attack This most powerful of Samus's abilities literally turns her into an energy buzz saw. Item of Power - Maru Mari This strange Chozo artifact allows Samus to be able to change into ball-mode, as well as place bombs. Alternate Form - Morph Ball Granted by the Maru Mari, a Chozo artifact, this form allows Samus to become much smaller and

compact (1' diameter ball), and while it disables many systems, it does allow the use of the Spider Ball (Special Movement 2 (wallcrawling)), the Spring Ball (can jump 10 feet high), and Bomb variants (see below). Special Attack - Bomb Variants While in ball-mode, Samus can make use of bombs, both offensively and as utility. They come in "basic" and "power" varieties. Samus is unaffected by the explosions of her own bombs. Bomb - Damage 3d8, Area Effect. Power Bomb - Damage 6d8 Area Effect, Uses Energy. Chozo-Enhanced Blood Samus was augmented by the Chozo who raised her, adding their DNA to hers, to better enable her to live on the arid planet Zebes, as well as make use of their technology. Samus has a Enhanced [Strength] 2 and Enhanced [Constitution] 1. She also counts as being Chozo for any technology with a bioscan that requires it, like her suit and artifacts. Metroid DNA Recently, Samus was the victim of an XParasite, the creatures metroids were originally created to destroy. Only an injection of metroid DNA, which is immune to X-parasitism, saved her life. Now, she has been permanently altered. Like the metroids, she can regenerate (Regeneration 5), but, like the metroids, she is very vulnerable to cold (Achilles Heel (cold/ice)). Samus's suit does protect against cold. Mecha - Samus's Spaceship While Samus's ship never has "official" stats, it is very well known, and has served Samus well through many adventures. For ease, I will stick with the most recent one, which has an AI, Adam. The image here, however, is of her ship before that, from Super Metroid, as the purple one is ugly as sin. found at Wikipedia. Samus Equipment Arm Cannon- works as a heavy cannon (4d8)
