| Name |

Samir Chandra.

| Nickname |

People usually just shorten his name to "Sam". He doesn't mind it.

| Date Of Birth |

23rd May, 1992

| Age |

25

| Sexuality |

Straight

| Relationship Status |

Single currently, and changing that isn't his main concern right now.

| Occupation |

Freelance handyman, designer and metalworker. He helps out with designing products, fixing things in businesses and homes and other related. Freelance means he's effectively independent and self-employed, meaning he can do his own thing or briefly work for different companies for a fee. It's a pretty nice career that pays rather well.

| In Depth Appearance |

Samir stands at around 6'1 in height, with shaggy black hair, and a largely unshaven lower face. He possesses dark, brown eyes, and pretty average teeth. He has one main notable scar on his body, a mark on his palm which he got through an accident with a blowtorch at age 14, as well as a small birthmark just below his left shoulder. Samir has no tattoos, although he's been thinking of maybe getting one for a while. He holds his body with a confident posture in his day-to-day actions, often going over the top with this. As for clothing, Samir cares a lot about making what he wears look nice. He will sacrifice comfort if something looks good. That isn't to say he's obsessed with fashion, it just comes packaged with a bit of arrogance. This means Samir will usually just wear what's trendy or what looks good, he doesn't really have a set style. This extends to shoes and clothing accessories too. Samir hates wearing thick coats and will refuse to wear them, even in extremely cold weather conditions.

| Quirks & Habits |

-As mentioned before, Samir refuses to wear thick or heavy coats whatever the conditions.
-He cannot resist kicking a football when one rolls near him, or if he sees one lying about
-If he finds out someone he knows supports Tottenham Hotspurs FC he will briefly become hostile to them.
-Will often interrupt people while they are talking to put his own input into the conversation.

| Hobbies |

-Football
-Metalworking
-Playing GTA

| Likes |

-Football
-Arsenal F.C
-The brand Nike
-Alt-rock
-The rainforest, due to frequent trips to Southern Sri Lanka as a boy

| Dislikes |

-Criticism of himself or his attitude
-Tottenham Hotspur F.C
-Over-the-top arcades, like those on Brighton pier. He finds them flashy and annoying
-Ants
-Cold weather and snow

| Fears |

Droughts - His parents unintentionally freaked him out as a boy by telling him all about the droughts they endured while growing up in Northern Sri Lanka, leaving him worried of a major one happening in Brighton.

Mild thalassophobia - He has no idea where this comes from. He can be at the coast fine and does enjoy swimming, but the thought of being stuck out in the middle of the ocean terrifies him.

| Personality |

Samir could be considered a very hot-headed, arrogant individual. He's often very abrasive, and believes in most scenarios that he will do outperform the other people in the same scenario. In most situations, he would choose to put himself first or save his own skin before helping others. He's confident in social situations and extroverted, having little trouble with meeting or engaging with new people, and often heavily attempting to impress them with jokes or anecdotes that he finds hilarious. In competitive situations he is often quite aggressive and will go over the top with trying to prove himself as superior to those around him. Perhaps expected, he reacts angrily and negatively when called out or criticised for his actions or attitudes, always trying to disprove or deny the claim thrown his way. Perhaps a more positive trait that applies to Samir is the fact that he is determined - if he starts on a job, he will make his utmost effort to make sure it is finished to a good standard, he's not one for giving up easily. He often rushes into situations without taking a good grasp on them first, which obviously leads to negative repercussions a lot of the time.

| Abilities |

Pyrogenesis
Samir has the ability to generate bursts of flame from his body, although his knowledge with this ability is limited to producing flame from his hands. He can currently create a fierce burst of flame that shoots across a long distance, or a gentle one which flickers in the air. He's been using the latter one to attempt to heat up food. He hasn't really found a use for the first one yet, but has been trying it out on the pebbled beaches when nobody else is around.

| Limitations |

Samir can generate and shoot the fire, but he doesn't have the means to manipulate or control it effectively. This means that the more powerful bursts of flame are not targeted properly and spread out over a loose range, causing lots of collateral damage. The ability is, unfortunately, affected by anger and rage in a large way, meaning that heavy damage could be caused if he gets very angry, which, if you've read the personality section, you know has the possibility to occur. He isn't resistant to fire, which means that if a burst somehow reflects back onto him, he will be burnt.

| Place Of Origin |

Ethnically Sri Lankan, but born in North London.

| Background |

Samir's parents were both born in poor villages in Northern Sri Lanka, they dry part of the island nation. The region experienced heavy drought, which was a constant threat on their lives. They were both the oldest child in their families and as such received an education in respectively nearby towns. It was at university in Colombo that they met, and eventually got married. They eventually moved to North London when Samir's mother became pregnant. Samir was the second born in the UK, with one more sibling to come later down the line.

Due to their rather poor upbringing, Samir's parents wanted to give their children a luxurious upbringing. This meant new expensive, up-to-date games and clothes, and lot's of affirmation, telling the kids that they are the best and encouraging them to be engaged in competitive activities, mainly sports. Samir took lot's of interest in football from an early age, and it's a hobby that's always stuck with him. His siblings also developed a similar love for sports, although different ones to football. He became wrapped up in Club supporter culture from an early age too, supporting the club Arsenal FC due to his geographical region. The family took frequent trips to Sri Lanka, which Samir always enjoyed, and it was also a thing to brag about too. Like many English primary school kids, he was convinced he would become a footballer when he grew up.

When Samir hit Secondary school and started to take D.T, most notably the Resistant Materials category of the subject, he found it was a subject that he enjoyed to a great extent. He found crafting and making things exhilarating, especially working with metals and furnaces.
He quickly joined up with all the D.T clubs he could. He never lost his love of football and his supporter passion, though. Samir was a popular, extroverted kid all throughout Secondary School, and cannot deny that he did pick on or bully some of the less popular, more introverted kids with his group of friends. For his GCSE options, he chose Resistant Materials, history and Business Studies. He received an A, B and B in those subjects respectively, and went on to receive an A-Level qualification in RM as well.

He chose not to go to Uni, and instead went straight to work, flicking between various different companies in North London which included locksmiths, construction jobs, product designs and lots of other things in between. He got a decent amount of money from working for these companies, but something was missing in his life. He disliked being cooped up and land-locked, and remembered how much he loved the coast from his frequent trips to Sri Lanka when he was younger. So, he set about trying to find a new coastal city in the UK to move to, and eventually settled on Brighton. He had friends that had moved down there, and they told him it was a nice place to live and work. So, he packed up his things and moved down to Brighton, resuming his freelance work.

He was just relaxing in his room, playing some GTA, when the storm was hitting the hotel, the noises of the game in his headphones drowning out the sound of the thunder and the rain. He went to bed after he took off his headphones to find the sound of the storm to be more quiet, obviously not realising what the storm was doing to him and to and the other people in the Lights. He woke up with his hands feeling hotter than usual, but that feeling quickly went back down, and he went about his day as usual. He didn't realise what he could do until he was in a warehouse getting annoyed at a metal box which wasn't opening, and shot a burst of flame from his hand. After the initial panic, he found he could generate fire from his body. He's been toning this ability the few days after he discovered it. He feels very positive about what he can do. He feels in a way that he's now superior to those without powers, and has a feeling that they will react negatively to them. He now feels that all those with powers are superior to those without, and that they are a gift of sorts.

Connor was pretty engrossed in the useless thing he was looking at, that he didn't even notice that the charge on his phone was dangerously low. He did notice, however, when the company logo popped up and the phone shut off, due to lack of charge. Scowling, he set out to retrieve his charger from his bag. He pulled it open, but to his annoyance found nothing. Damn. He must have left it in America, or maybe he just dropped it. Whatever the reason. He didn't have a phone charger, and that meant he couldn't use his phone. He did have some money though... maybe he should go into town and buy one. Then he would do his homework when he got back. So, he tucked his phone safely away and set out of his room, and down the stairs.

It was a nice little town, Connor thought. He hadn't really visited a Japanese settlement other than Tokyo, so it was cool to see. There were plenty of shops stocking replacement chargers, so he just found one with a nice long cable, paid for it and left. He still had some money left, so he thought he may as well walk around and see if there was anything else that caught his eye. Up on one of the main high streets, he spotted a distinctive haircut amongst the other shoppers. It was Marius, who Connor remembered had got the highest on the entrance exam. He walked over.

"Hey Marius, I'm Connor. I don't think we've properly spoken, other than right before class for a little bit. Is anyone else up in this area?"

Briefly interacting with - @Norschtalen, @pkken

Connor took the bottle of water and the towel gratefully. He chugged down a massive drink of cool water, then wiped most of the sweat off of his face with the towel. That felt a lot better. He thanked the girl and watched as the last few people started to finish off their own tests. He knew he had done well, but had he done well enough compared to everyone? He couldn't be sure, of course. Connor had done his tests before most people. He gave a nod of acknowledgement to Lance who was relaxing in the shade, and then plopped down under his own tree to relax.

Soon enough All-Might rounded up and dismissed the students to all their classes. Connor had almost forgotten it would still be like a normal school, they wouldn't just be fighting and doing physical activities the whole time. It was a little unnerving to see the pro-heroes teaching classes that had nothing to do with heroic actions themselves, but that didn't stop Connor from doodling in the most boring classes - mostly maths and literature - and subtly scratching his initials into the desks that he could get his daggers on. It was just a little thing he liked to do - he wasn't too sure why.

And then, the school day was over, and it was time to head back to their dorms. Connor had some homework to do but... decorating came first. He took the posters from his bed and hung them up in nice places in the room. His favourite movies and bands now adorned his room, and also just a few aesthetic things. Now what? His books lingered in the corner of his eye, subtly telling him he should do the work, but his phone called harder, and Connor found himself browsing things that he wasn't even that interested in. Pictures of dogs, and cityscapes, and games he didn't play, and movies he never watched. Suddenly he heard a commotion from somewhere... it sounded like the wolf boy from earlier, but angry. He peered out of his window and saw the kitsune girl he vaguely remembered seeing earlier walking away from the dorms. That didn't bode well, but Connor wouldn't get involved. Now, back to his phone. His homework could wait.

Connor's suspicions about the wolf-boy, well, Ookami's quirk were confirmed. They were basically just stuff that wolves could do. Ah well, at least Lance's quirk was actually pretty decent. Controlling the wind was a respectable quirk, and Connor looked on with intrigue as the boy produced within his hand a marvellous little tornado. Very cool indeed. Lance got rid of the tornado and then asked about hero names.

"Nah, I haven't really thought about it that much. I guess I'll have to think of something when the time comes for it to be necessary."

But now it seemed to be time for the real tests to begin. A sense of excitement brewed inside Connor's chest as he made his way onto the sports field, feeling pretty confident about his abilities to do well. He knew some events he would excell at, and others he might lag behind due to his quirk not being very useful in those areas. Still, he was a pretty athletic boy nonetheless, and he had high hopes.

A while later, and Connor had done it. He was feeling pretty damn tired and exhausted, but still rather pleased with himself. The dash had gone as he'd expected. He still did okay, but he couldn't use his quirk for that and was obviously outpaced by people like that boy who could seemingly teleport. Now that was a useful quirk for running. Standing long jump had gone the same, even though he had tried to think of a way to use his quirk to his advantage. Most of the other athletic or running events were the same story.

Some events, however, Connor excelled at. With the grip strength he managed to strengthen the grip with some handy bone reinforcements, so he placed pretty high up on that event and was proud of himself. The ball throw, however, was completely different. Using something he vaguely remembered from school about pivots, he formed something that vaguely resembled a lacrosse stick. A longer pivot, he remembered, meant more power and energy. The ball was flung a damn far distance, and Connor was pretty sure he placed in the top three there. He managed to send out some bones to grip his toes in the toe touches to send himself up the rankings on that one, too.

Now Connor was tired, and had a large craving for a cool drink of water to cool himself down. What luck however, when he saw in the distance a girl surrounded by lots of them. Perhaps she was giving them away? He wandered over and found that it was the girl who had caught his sight earlier. She seemed pretty tired as well. He got closer and came to the conclusion that she was giving them away.

"Hey... If you're giving those away, can I have one? Tiring tests, eh?"

Connor raised his brow as yet another person came over to talk to him, making the walking group have a total of three now. The boy was certainly odd - he seemed to be some sort of.... wolf, human hybrid? Or maybe he was just transforming into that for a brief time. Whatever it was, it was odd. Connor hoped it wasn't another one of those minor mutation quirks, people with those shouldn't be accepted into the school. Still, could be worse, could be the guy who's quirk was just a goddamn robot suit. Actually, now that Connor scoured his mind... he thought he recognised the boy from exams. The boy certainly seemed to know him, as he knew his full name. He turned to the wolf-boy and responded -

"Yeah, I'm Connor Montgomery, it's nice to meet you. As for what I can do, well, you'll see in the test. I can create things from the bones in my arm. What about you?"

Connor heard voices coming off from another way and loosely turned to see what was going on. It was Marius, another boy, and a girl. There was something about this girl that just... made him want to look. He couldn't quite explain it. Maybe it was her eyes? He pulled himself away and back to wolf-boy, awaiting his response.

Connor saw a other people starting to come out from the dorms wearing their gym suits, getting more excited by the minute. He hadn't really felt excitement like this in a long time. It was a nice feeling, and one he had sorely missed. Perhaps this place really was where he would find his calling. He had been sceptical when Samantha told him he should try and get into the school - he didn't really fancy himself as a hero. But it just felt right, being surrounded by other people with powerful quirks and training with them.

Connor then spied a boy catching up fast behind him. He recognised the boy from the entrance examination - he vaguely remembered his name being... Lance? Or something along those lines. The boy said something about Connor not being the only one who couldn't wait to show everyone else what they could do. That was certainly true... he definitely could not wait. Lots of people underestimated his quirk when they first heard about it, but he always enjoyed proving the true power of it to them. Then he introduced himself, and Connor's suspicions of his name were validated. Lance Carter... yes, he did remember that name from the entrance exam. He responded in an equally relaxed and excited manner.

"Hi, Lance! I think I remember you from the exam.... I'm Connor Montgomery, pleased to meet you formally too!"
