Name: Samantha Nakamura
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Unknown... again
Species: Ghoul
World and Universe they are from: Unknown
Appearance: Standing at a whopping 153 centimeters tall, Sam is not very imposing. Especially considering that her natural frame and build are rather petite, and even consuming a significant amount of energy, she'll only look slightly more muscular. She has soft facial features and fairly pale skin, offset by her mouth filled with sharp fangs and her unnatural red eyes. For comfort's sake, she keeps her snow white hair short. Most of these features are hidden most of the time, however. She wears a suit reminiscent of plague doctors' attires. Hiding her face and body from everyone became a habit with her transformation.
Personality: Sam's body wasn't the only part of her that harshly changed with the transformation. Her emotional landscape now seems rather plain, lacking things such as empathy or remorse. If anything, this has made her more proficient in her new life, where she needs to kill to live. In the case she decides to interact with someone non-lethally, she is noticeably odd. Talking rather cheerfully about dark topics, or appearing unnaturally fixated in certain things, just to give examples. She is particularly passionate about her main hobby: The human body (The problem is that since she is self educated, she barely knows how to properly talk about it. On a side note, she'll pretend she knew all along if you correct her). She has a bit of a inferiority complex connected to her gender, making her try to hide it as best as possible. It can even disrupt her behavior pattern to be found out to be a girl. While she did change during her time in the multiverse war, an accident permanently wiped her memory of most of it. This resulted in Samantha defaulting back to her old ways.
History/Bio: Samantha was an orphan who never got to meet her parents. Instead, she was raised by a friend of theirs, a scientist by the name of Godfrey Matthaus. In reality, he was a terrible parent, as he was overburdened by work and barely had time for Sam. However, he did love her, and tried his best to at least show that to her whenever he had a brief chance. That did mean that Sam had to learn most things by herself, though. By the age of 17, when she was out of high school, she had quite clear what she wanted to study in college. Since she was young, she snuck to her foster father's lab and do experiments on her own. Once she was at school, her favorite thing to do was dissect animals and study what made them move how they did, breathe how they did, and so on. Combining the two into becoming a good willed doctor seemed only logical to her. She never got the chance to do so.
One night her home was attacked by a mysterious monster, she was brutally beaten by the monster, Godfrey managed to get to them in time to prevent her death. Arguably something worse got to her. While her foster father kept the monster busy with a gun, Sam's body violently mutated. The monster turned her into one of them. Upon this realization, the monster left a bloodthirsty Samantha with a wounded Godfrey. Not knowing how to control her new body's urges, she finished off Godfrey.
Filled with regret and anger, she tried her best to hunt down the monster who ruined her life. It wasn't difficult though, with a combination of her superb senses and news about mysterious brutal murders, she was able to confront him soon enough. Their kind strengthened upon feasting on humans, and given how she tracked the freak down, she was at a clear physical disadvantage. But this monster had eaten so much, so fast, that his brain had been damaged. After yet another brutal beating, Sam managed to outsmart the beast into incapacitating himself. Then, as the best revenge she could come up with, Samantha ate the monster. This proved to be good for everyone else, as her hunger dissapeared for some time, without the need for her to use the drug she designed to inhibit it. But it didn't last forever, she resumed her consumption of human bodies, until a mysterious light dragged her off her feet.
Said light sent her spiraling into a chaotic war against an evil, multiversal entity. She briefly joined the cause, fighting against the might of the AI. At some point, she got attacked. How exactly, she doesn't remember. All she remembers is waking up inside a space station. From then on, she wandered the place. Looking for answers as to how she got there, and while she learned a thing or two along the way, her memories never returned.
Powers:
-Super Senses: As a monster, Sam's senses are quite developed, particularly her sense of smell. Superior to any other animal's.
-Consumption: With the help of an extremely adaptable and strong jaw, Sam's body now can absorb the strength and mind of other beings that she eats, her body takes more advantage of humanoid meals, though she can really eat any meat. She gains the most energy from the heart or its equivalent in the body. Currently, she is at peak human condition from her last meal. Her research shows that eating her source of infection completed her transformation, but consuming other humanoid super beings might grant her new abilities, depending on what and how much of it she eats.
-Regeneration: The consolidation of Sam as a monster. Her wounds can be healed at great speeds, even severe ones. Severed parts can either decay and be regrown, or joined back to the body.
-Alliterus: Samantha's Persona, a peculiar phenomenon she discovered she could manifest while studying some files she found as she explored the station, along with an evoker. Reworking the evoker to be able to function along her particular biology. A manifestation of someone's will taken physical form. More specifically, a folk hero from a foreign country in Samantha's world. While summoned, Alliterus enhances Samantha's physical attributes, but its main function is to act as her surrogate in battle. Aside from simple physical strikes, Alliterus has a few special skills it can use:
- One-shot Kill: An extremely fast projectile that drills through the opponent, great for reaching weak spots.
- Riot Gun: A booming rain of projectiles falling on an area like a raging thunderstorm.
- Megidolaon: An explosion of extreme destructive capabilities, as it is able to burn through virtually anything.
- Diarama: A healing skill able to heal plenty of wounds, may require more than one use to fully heal someone.
- Heat Riser: Bolsters the physical attributes of the target.
Power limitations:
-Super Senses: Quite simply, her senses can be overloaded. So a very loud sound, or especially, a particularly strong smell, can stun her.
-Consumption: Not only can she consume beings for power, she explicitly needs to. Her body starts decaying after sometime not consuming a certain amount of energy. This can't kill her, but it will incapacitate her eventually. Conversely, eating too many beings too quick can damage her rationality. Furthermore, her hunger is almost constant, so she needs a drug she made herself to ignore it.
-Regeneration: Although she can recover from virtually any wound. This increases her need for external energy, the more often and the more extensively it is used. Meaning it shortens the required time between meals.
-Alliterus: Seeing as she is inexperienced and her Persona was quite powerful from the start, Samantha has a difficult time using it for extended periods of time, and it is difficult to control if overused. Skills being particularly tiresome to use, ones more than others. Also, she is yet to be able to summon it without her Trigger Ring.

Bio-chemistry (Ghouls): A
Chemistry: B
Interrogation: C
Mechanics: B
Weapon(s)/ Equipment:
-A heavy, 5 round revolver with the word "MATTHAUS" engraved on the barrel. Sam carries a pouch with 20 extra rounds.
-Mimicking a gun she saw somewhere, Sam made this revolver-looking gun. Though instead of firing bullets, they are loaded with canisters of a concentrated acidic substance. This acidic substance can be fired in a shotgun-like short range spray, or in a focused bullet-like formation akin to her other revolver in power when impacting, before spreading the acid. This acid is mostly good at decomposing flesh, but other materials are still affected. She engraved "GODFREY" in the barrel of this one. She carries an extra 9 canisters of acid, each capable of 10 shots.
-3 flasks labeled "neutralizing agent"
-3 tubes with processed human hearts, neatly sealed.
-A large knife.
-A bag with a compact set of various medicines, a few antidotes, and an assortment of medical tools. From scalpel and scissors, to a bone saw. Among them, Sam carries 10 injectable ampoules of a mix of her blood along with other chemicals. It greatly boosts regeneration temporarily. Naturally, they don't work on her.
-Multiple throwable needles, coated with a potent muscle relaxant.
-4 one use pods of hunger staving drug.
-A modified inhaler for said pods.
-The mask on her suit has adjustable filters, to avoid sensorial overload.
-A voice modifier that looks like a plain black choker.
-A Trigger Ring. A device that serves the same purpose as an Evoker: Summoning her Persona.
Strengths: Despite lacking formal training, she's a top notch medic, albeit an unorthodox one. Even though she's mostly a back liner, she has the tools to fend for herself. She has great potential based on what she eats.
Weakness/ Fears: If reckless, or maybe forgetful, Sam can be rendered fully incapacitated via lack of eating. Eating someone that "doesn't deserve it" by accident always worries her.
Other: Her normal voice is rather soft. While she prefers to make her voice modifier, along with some padding to make her seem more manly.
