Sam Chambers
"Others have often claimed to be someone's "worst enemy". I am nowhere near arrogant enough to believe that of myself, in a world with such powerful individuals. However, cross me, and I will kill you."

The Legacy

Personality:

If the world were a game of chess, Sam would be best suited as either a pawn or knight (and as he loathes the idea of being manipulated, it is better fitting to say knight). He has a clear view of how the world should be, and will do his damndest to see that his vision will be (though, as seen by the knight analogy above, he doesn’t wish to lead, rather to carry out orders of a master whose intent he agrees with).
He can be seen as a generally decent guy by those who are sided with him. For better or worst, he is quick to make bad puns or use movie references, and is a huge fan of satire. Commonly bearing a smirk or lopsided grin, it would seem as if he was always in a good mood, which he usually is. However, when the situation requires it of him, he can become stoic and cold, though these times are relativley rare to come, and typically fade rather quickly.

History:

Those dubbed metahumans by society have long been misunderstood, feared and hated. To have a child that displayed signs of being such an individual would be unbearable to most. However, there are a brazen few who, in the absence of powers themselves, would (sometimes quite literally) give an arm and a leg for their children to be born with such a “gift”. Nathaniel Chambers was one such man.

Mr. Chambers had a very peculiar set of morals and interests, and the powers possessed by Metahumans and the like fell into the latter group. It pained him to no end that both his late brother and sister had abilities far beyond his own; it was God’s greatest cruelty that his Nathaniel’s parents produced three children, and both the two younger ones were Metahuman, while the eldest was purely mundane. He would have shone bright, given his natural intellect and determination to be the best, if not for his being cast into the shadow of his younger siblings.

As such, he dedicated his life to researching the Meta-Gene, most specifically the hereditary characteristics of it. When his sister (Who possessed the ability to heal herself rapidly and extreme reflexes) and his brother (Born with a durability far surpassing that of a normal human) died of “natural causes” (if one can consider being murdered by one’s enemies natural), Nathaniel took a sample of both of their DNAs to compare to his own. After three years of research and experimentation, he isolated the chromosome responsible for their powers, and amplified its effects. Chambers had originally planned to introduce the active Meta-Gene into his own body, granting him unworldly skills. However, after many failed experiments in which he attempted to combine the gene with samples of his own cells, it became apparent that his own body could not support the Meta-Gene. There were rumors in the scientific community, however, that there were individuals who had managed to grant themselves and others with Metahuman gifts.

With these rumors in mind, Nathaniel came to the conclusion that the only way he would be able to see even a measure of these powers was to give them to a child, prenatally. After producing the required male material to procreate and receiving donated eggs from a female who had a Metahuman father, he began the process of creating what is known as a “Test Tube Baby”. While the child was developing, he inserted the activated Meta-Genes from his late family members into it.

When the child was “born”, he was named Samuel, after Nathaniel’s brother. Samuel showed that he did in fact possess the abilities of his aunt and uncle, pleasing his father to an immeasurable length. He grew up with a somewhat sheltered life, being tutored by his father until the age of twelve, and then attending private school until adulthood. While he did not inherit his father’s obsession with those beyond human, he did share Nathaniel’s “peculiar set of morals”. Most notable of these were that orders should be followed, unless they are perceived, without a doubt, to cause more harm to those carrying them out than good to whoever gave the orders, and that people, for the most part, do not know how to govern themselves, and as such should have a very firm hand to “guide” them.

Nathaniel died on May 17, 2019, the day that Samuel turned twenty-seven. Since that time Sam has roamed across the States (and spent a little time in Europe and South-Eastern Asia) doing a whole lot of everything and nothing at once (meaning he has been screwing around for the most part).

The Powers and Weaknesses

Power 1: Regeneration-Sam’s body can heal injuries that manage to harm him past his extreme durability with more severe injuries taking a longer amount of time. While unconscious, healing takes a longer amount of time, but still works at a ludicrously fast pace.

Power 2: High Durability-Rather self-explanatory here, Samuel’s body is nigh impossible for an average human to harm, and difficult for most of the metahuman variety. He can go days without breathing, and needs to eat and drink around one fifteenth as often as an average person. Very few natural illnesses can affect him, and he requires only .5-2 hours of sleep weekly, though Sam can function for a few weeks before sleep deprivation begins to take its toll on his body.

Power 3: Suprahuman Strength- Odien's muscles have developed to an extremely dense mass, as a result of the Metadisease he was afflicted with, the cure for said disease, and the experimentation following while in prison. With this new found strength, is capable of lifting and pushing far more than would be attainable for an ordinary man.

Weakness 1: PTSD: Odien suffers from a severe case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the result of several emotionally jarring events in recent years, the illness that racked his mind and body, and the resulting treatment. As such he is prone to paranoia, anxiety attacks, anger issues, and a host of other personality defects.

Weakness 2: Self Control: Odien has issues with anger, as a result of the PTSD. While in combat this could be detrimental to he and his "team", as when experiencing a severe bout of anger/anxiety, he loses the distinction between friend and foe, and is likely to turn on his allies. While he is capable of controlling this, it will hinder his combat prowess, as he is constantly having to watch himself.

Weakness 3: Temporary Amnesia: In periods of time varying from once every three months to four times daily, Odien may experience a loss of memory. This ranges from forgetting what he walked into a room for, to who he is entirely.
