It happens to be another small girl, with darker skin, large light-purple eyes, with two large ponytails, and wears a rather country/farmer-like outfit. Said person introduces herself as Hapu. Luigi then introduces himself, as well as to Narija and Samus respectively. The bounty hunter nods as she raises her hand with a slight wave. With that introduction aside, the amphibious individual began to explain herself. ”[color=4BE2A3][i]I guess I’ve never met someone who could be called a hero. Honestly, I wouldn’t really have considered myself one till the cloud turtle appeared and was told there was a meeting of them that I was invited to. So I guess was trying to find out what the definition of a hero was in terms of this meeting, what I can expect from the people I will be fighting along side[/i].[/color]” Seems rather innocent so far. It's good to know who you're fighting alongside and take note of their strengths and capabilities. Then again, if said person is a spy, then that can cause some trouble. Not like she is one to be one that looks like to be a traitor, but Samus is wary of individuals she doesn't know. From her experience, she'll need more than just a confirmation of "I'm on your side" or something amongst those lines, to grasp her trust completely. The bounty hunter simply nods understandingly as she continues listening to Naija silently. ”[color=4BE2A3][i]In a sense your question outlines the 2 of the 3 general possible answers I was expecting you to give, and which you think makes a hero. But are people here because they are heroic in character, because they have been hailed as a hero or because they have faced down evil and prevailed? Why someone they think they are a hero is maybe a good indication of character, are they proud of their deeds, honored by their people or self assured of their noble motives.[/i][/color]” Ok, now this just turned into English class. Everyone in the bright mind knows what the basic premise of what a hero is and isn't. Yet in Samus' case, to the Federation and other allied empires and civilizations, she is proclaimed as a hero. After all, she did kill the villainous Mother Brain on several occasions, as well as several other vicious space pirate generals, such as the monstrous Kraid, and her own nemesis, Ridley, the space pterosaur. However, Samus is a bounty hunter. She basically lives off having to do jobs provided by any willing employer. She even somtimes have to to jobs she isn't quite fond of, all to have food on her plate and to ultimately survive. Of course, she doesn't just agree to every single offer, for she has her own interests and beliefs. One time, she almost wiped out an entire planet filled with the metroid aliens [i](see Metroid II: Return Of Samus)[/i], including their queen. All that was left, or at least so she thought at that time, was a single baby metroid, who soon after hatching had followed her 'like a confused child'. Then she gave it to the Federation as perhaps a secret source of unlimited energy, said alien getting stolen by Ridley[i](see Super Metroid)[/i], and at the end of the day, the baby eventually sacrificed itself to save Samus and give her the power to combat Mother Brain. So is she a hero...? Sure, why not. Infamous towards her enemies, she indeed shows no remorse in striking fear into her enemies, while holding justice on the line at the same time. Naija continues henceforth. ”[color=4BE2A3] “It was also a really weird question to try and get to know you... sorry, you and Samus reminded me of some Lumerean scriptures I read in their ruins, I think you were mentioned in them? They seemed to liked to wax philosophical about stuff like ‘what makes a hero’ when they weren’t writing about praising the sun or their weird machines, so it kind of put me in that mindset.[/color]” The amphibian turns to Samus at this stage, who is a little taken back that she has been presented in some sort of scripture. She isn't necessarily the "best" hero, as she doesn't always follow by the book, but she guesses her actions, good and/or bad, were still "achievements" in a sense. ”[color=4BE2A3]Um to answer you Samus, I think it’s because I have... killed monsters and things that have done great evil, but more because they were in the way of the answers I sought than because it was right thing to do. But I am here now, so maybe I can fight for a world where the people still live. For all worlds I guess because it is a good thing to do.[/color]” There was a small silence in the room, the tall woman looking down as she then takes a look around her... at all the other heroes summoned as well. So it seems this girl has also faced monsters. Just like her of course. She looks down at Naija and smirks, muttering a faint "Hmph" in response. [color=ff7f05][b]"Yeah, you got the gist of it rather well."[/b][/color] she responds, as she fixes her hair, [color=ff7f05][b]"And now, you'll be having that chance to save the lives of billions from this virus. To really make a difference. And to you, along with everyone else in this room, I wish the best of luck."[/b][/color] As soon as she finishes, having already sat down, she sees yet ANOTHER somebody enter the door. Samus sighs again as she turns around to see who it is. Looks like most of the heroes are running a little late. Who knows how many more will come in later? Regardless, the newcomer was a man, who happened to also be wearing advanced armor himself, as he removes his helmet and flipping the hood of his cloak. The man sits down next to her, not saying any greetings to her or anyone else, other then to Guile. [color=SteelBlue][i]"I apologize for being late, I got the letter in the middle of a patrol in the Cosmodrome. James Varrock, from the... well, I guess Bungie Kingdom or... maybe it's world."[/i][/color] Samus looks at him with a slight curiousity. His armor, while more on the advanced side of style, has more of a medieval touch to it, especially with the helmet and armor style. His weapons however, are regular, high-tech weaponry. He has shoulder length sandy blonde hair with orange eyes, while also sporting a light athletic build. His face also happens to be painted with a light white stripe pattern, though the bounty hunter isn't sure if it's tattoos or not. He was interesting to say the least. [color=ff7f05][b]"Dimension would probably be the better word."[/b][/color] Samus responds to his statement towards Guile in a rather loose fashion, [color=ff7f05][b]"By the way, nice retro-themed medieval armor. Guess you're more of the knight-in-shining-armor kind of guy, huh?"[/b][/color]
