[indent]

[u][color=FFEBCD][b]APPEARANCE          [/b][/color][/u]
[indent] You can't say that Samson doesn't look like some sort of a gang member. Dragon tattoos. A broken nose bridge and cauliflower ear. That aura, stench with the smell of lowborn, streetwise, and uneducated. And his speech, always with some sort of anger about to explode, goes well enhancing the impression of a lower-class citizen.  

And he dressed like one as well. Tank top. Jeans or shorts. It is only when he is currently serving that he dressed more formally. Under specific lengths and widths for his shirts, so the buttons wouldn't explode every time he breathed. A black vest with shoulder pads, adding the more oomph to the 2 meters giant, should he found himself in need of some convincing work. Black pants and black shoes. And a blue tie, because an Asian can't wear all black. [/indent]

[u][color=FFEBCD][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION          [/b][/color][/u]
[indent]To bend a fucking metal bar with his eye socket. 

[quote]As a child, he wanted to bend a metal bar with his eye socket. He wanted to bend blades with bare hands, leap through fire, and sleep on a bed of daggers. Those are the thing what he wanted to be accomplished during his childhood. He wanted to be a martial artist. And so he trained. 

And through trials and tribulations, training montages, secret techniques, and under the tutelage of a wise sage/sifu, Samson became who he is today." [/quote]

This above was a joke. 

Truth be told, Samson didn't have much reason to train martial arts in the first place. While the desire to bend metal with his eye sockets was real back then, so does his desire to slack off and playing games as a child. It was mostly due to his parents' belief that martial arts trained a person's lifestyle that led Samson to be forced into martial arts. At first, he trained Wing Chun with his fathers. Then, he learned Five Forms from the local dojo but specialize in tiger and snake. After that, boxing and karate. And finally, JKD. 

It didn't take too long for martial arts to integrate into Samson's life, becoming a portion of his daily schedule. Still, Samson was not very interested in martial arts as he is now. After all, how many martial artists can catch a bullet? He had heard about a man defeating ten other men. He had yet to hear of a man deconstructed an entire battalion. He had a negative view toward Nomads, believing that they are nothing more than glorified CGI effects and tricks that governments and large corporations created to enforce some ideologies on the masses. 

That is until he saw how profitable it is. 

Eight years ago, Samson became the champion of House Miyamoto's Tournament in Hong Kong. It didn't take long for them to have his contact. And he signed up with them, just because of how lucrative the deal was. At the age of 19, he had his first car. A few years after that, a penthouse. Just in a nick of time, Samson tasted the fruit of something he never intended to plant before. And it was sweet. 

Getting into the Nomad inner circles also gave Samson more insight toward these particular "people." Their value. Their powers. Their ideas and dreams. The meaning of being a Nomads. How martial arts seems to have more weight beneath the waves... So, these days, Samson trained even harder than before. Because if he is stronger, he is more valuable. And if he is more valuable, his contracts would be more sought after. Currently, he had just finished a contract protecting a VIP at Gold City. And if it wasn't because of the recent attack by the Mirage, he would have probably left the Golden City.

[h3][color=FFEBCD][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/color][/h3][hr]

[indent][u][color=FFEBCD][b]SKILLS & ABILITIES          [/b][/color][/u]
[indent]Samson's fighting style remind of a mountain and an avalanche combined. Unmoveable when being station. Unstoppable once moved. As such, his fighting style consists of multiple strong attacks like grapples, palm strikes, punches, shoulder bash,... He doesn't have too many sides-tricks like throwing dirt or elbowing the lower-half like others do, considering those tricks beneath himself. Still, not using it doesn't mean he is not prepared against it. 

But aside from that, his techniques are pretty straight forward. He hits hard. His grip can bend metals. And he is just going to be here, enduring everything the enemies throw at him. Because he is a mountain. And a mountain is him.     [/indent]

[u][color=FFEBCD][b]SIGNATURE MOVES          [/b][/color][/u]

[indent][u]■   [Bear strike][/u]
[indent] Samson's strikes, shredding target's armor with every hits. [/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Whiplash][/u]
[indent]Samson strikes at the enemy. If Samson hits, he will cleaved out a chunk of flesh in the contacted area, causing the target to take increased damage when being hit at the same spot. A repeated succession of whiplash will cause the target to gain hemorrhage. [/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Mountains][/u]
[indent]Samson's blocked incoming physical attacks, his defenses are doubled at facing direction while gaining resistance to knockback or knock-up. But, if roots spell is applied during [Mountain]'s duration, their durations are doubled. [/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Opening Cut][/u]
[indent] Samson attempts to sidestep an attack. If he succeeds, he will close the distance before giving a knockout strike/ grappling, causing the enemies to be disoriented/stun. [/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   [Grand Slam][/u]
[indent]Samson grapples the target before slamming him/ her/ it against the ground multiple times. [/indent][/indent]

[u][color=FFEBCD][b]SUPER MOVES          [/b][/color][/u]
[indent] [u]■   [Misguided Anger][/u]
[indent]Releasing his anger, Samson's gained an increase in attack speed and damage. All his strikes during this period will ignore all defenses. In return, all attacks against Samson will do more damages but will extend the duration of Misguide Anger. [/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   [Samson's Origen][/u]
[indent]Samson's rapidly regenerate a portion of his health. The more health he lost, the more he regenerated. [/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   [Layers of Sea][/u]
[indent]Samson's become immovable for 10s, immunes to all effects (daze, slumber, weakening, taunt, knockback, knock up,...). His defenses are tripled in all directions. An additional doubled defense is added on top of the direction he is facing. In return, he can't move. [/indent][/indent]

[u][color=FFEBCD][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS          [/b][/color][/u]
[indent]Being a mountain does have its flaw. Samson doesn't move very often, only able to use sidesteps as a means of positioning himself and dodging. And if the enemy is a very mobile one, all he can do is charge at them and hope he could pin them down. [/indent]
[/indent]

[h3][color=FFEBCD][b]OTHER[/b][/color][/h3][hr]
[indent][indent]Nothing for now. [/indent][/indent]
