(a.k.a. Sam)
Physical Description
Sam seems to be experiencing a second growth spurt - an unintended side effect of the Vigora's energy being so close to his brain. His metabolism has been magically boosted as well, but he needs to eat more food than the average person in order for his body to keep up with all this new growth. He's not quite used to being this tall, so he often bumps his head on low doorways.
You can kind of see the
Vigora Crystal in the back of his head if you look close enough.
Sam has a multitude of gadgets he uses, but his favorite is his laser chainsaw.
Mental characteristics
Samuel Miller α was a promising student in engineering school who discovered a
mysterious magenta crystal outside his dorm one day. After discovering its incredible energy potential, he was struck with inspiration and decided to create a cloning machine. He worked feverishly for months until it was time to test it out. Unfortunately, the machine overheated and exploded, shattering the crystal.
However, among the wreckage, Samuel saw someone who looked just like him unconscious on the floor. His machine had worked!
Samuel α and Samuel β worked together in secret for a few weeks. Samuel α appreciated a partner who worked like him, but he noticed that his clone tended to work much faster than him, and that he tended to come up with dangerous ideas.
After some inspection, they found out that one of the shards of the crystal had embedded itself into Samuel β's skull in the explosion. β also realized that it was giving him inspiration, but also made him unstable. They decided to stop working together, and Samuel β went into hiding.
Then two women found him. With nowhere else to go, Samuel β, now going by Sam, took them up on their offer to join their team.
Sam is a very intelligent man, which is assisted by the
Vigora Crystal embedded in his skull. However, that same crystal can cause him to lose his focus and basically become a mad scientist for a short time.
Personality Characteristics
He wants to create something that will change the world; he's survived on peer validation this far, and he's not surrendering it now.
He is a genius at inventing new gadgets for the team, but he tends to struggle in areas he's not familiar with. It took him ages to teach him how to fight.
He's book-smart, inventive, and hard working. He also tries to be kind to others, with varying degrees of success.
He can become overly consumed by his work, and he can be oblivious in situations not in his area of expertise. He doesn't take criticism well; he tends to get defensive if you point out a flaw in his plan.
Social
Meeting new people makes Sam nervous, but he's a pretty nice guy when you get to know him.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Both are fascinated by science, even if Vera pretends she isn't.
