If this is still open I would like to apply.
PS I would have used pictures, as I’m not very good with physical descriptions, but I couldn’t find one I like.
Name: Samuel “Sammy” Crichton
Age: 15
Codename: Samson
Powers: Hair Manipulation - Sammy has complete control over his hair. He can move it like a limb, being able to wrap it into shapes or pick up things with it. His hair is super strong and could pickup a full sized adult and throw them or block a punch or weak swing of a bat, but can not block things like blades or a bullet. Sammy can rapidly grow hair to get a longer reach but he only does it to a certain limit as he has to cut after using it to get it back to its original length. He also can change his hair to any colour or shade possible, this takes about a minute on average to do, but can take longer when he has more hair. Currently he has most control over the hair on his head but is practising with other hair such as facial or arm.
Appearance: Sammy is a tanned individual who stands a bit tall for his age at 5’10”. His build is average for his height as he gets a decent amount of exercise. He has eyes that are a deep brown but are hidden behind his hair. Speaking of his hair it’s dark brown, almost black, and goes just past his shoulders. Other than that the most noticeable feature is his face where you can see his Native American heritage.
When it comes to clothes Sammy wears a variety. He wears the common darker colours associated with Metal, but will also wear bright pop culture related shirts and sweaters. But other than pop logos, Sammy doesn’t care about brand name. He can be seen wearing regularly cheap sneakers and well worn hoodies and doesn’t care.
Costume: The most notable thing about Sammy’s costume is the skull mask. Not meant to frighten, but as a nod to Sammy’s love of Metal. The bottom layer of his clothes are grey jogging attire. This is then covered in black pads on his legs, knees, and elbows as well as a combat vest of the same colour. He also wears gloves and boots of a similar black. Also while not apart of his costume, he usually turns his hair white while on patrol.
School clubs or achievements: Decent grades, a member of the school’s anime and comic clubs, member of a Metal band with fellow students.
Brief bio: Samuel Crichton was born in Chicago to a Seth, a corporate training designer, and Riley, a Sunday school teacher. When Sammy was young his Father wasn’t around much as his job meant he had to travel around the country training newcomers to his company. So Sammy was left with his Mother who made sure he had a good Christian upbringing. This was undermined by his Grandfather, also named Samuel, who was Native American and told Sammy about other religions and said he should make up his own mind. So Sammy expanded his horizons, getting into comics and anime, and eventually Heavy Metal. His newfound love of Metal led him to start taking guitar lessons. Shortly after this Sammy’s father got a promotion meaning he wouldn’t have to travel. The catch? His new job was in Central City. So the Crichton’s packed up and moved to the new city. Less than a year later Sammy started high school and found others with the same interest. Eventually Sammy joined a Metal band made up of students, Sammy being the youngest. Sammy loved being in the band but felt inferior to the other guitarist who was quite a bit more skilled than Sammy. So Sammy figured he had to get some better training. As such he jumped at the opportunity when he heard former Central City local, now underground Metal legend, Richard Ashton was going to be at a party at a local warehouse. He never did meet Richard at the party, but instead now learnt that he could control his already long hair, and could even make it longer. After he was approached by Apollo, Sammy remembered the tale of Samson whose power came from his hair. Seemed like an appropriate name for him.
