Her dirty blonde hair falls just past her shoulders.  Despite several attempts to get a tattoo, and a long list of broken bones, her skin is blemish free, without a single scar. Toned muscles cover her arms, legs, and stomach.  She doesn’t often wear makeup, except on set, and tends to wear her hair loose.  While she isn’t opposed to wearing jewelry, her most common accessory is a pair of dark sunglasses, and a perfect white smile.<br/>Costume: No Costume, yet<hr/><br/>(https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjMyLjAwMDAwMC5VM1J2Y25rLC4wAAAAAA,,/comic-balloon-new.regular.png)<br/>Personality: Sam loves to express herself and gives her all in whatever she does, whether that is taking pictures at a wedding or jumping off a four-story building for a scene in a movie. It’s no secret that she’s an adrenaline junkie.  She loves being outdoors; enjoys meeting people and seeing new places.  She can be carefree, wild, and even reckless, at times.  In others, she can have pin-point focus.  She tends to be even-keel, and rarely loses her temper.<br/>Likes: Adrenaline, competicion, photography, the outdoors, rock climbing, driving anything over 120 mph, parkour, pushing the limits, surprising people, working on her motorcycle, shooting guns (the larger the calibre the better), sports, and meditation.<br/>Dislikes: Hypocrisy, over-inflated egos, cheaters, being still, being stuck indoors, having nothing to do, going slow, thugs, politics, chauvinists, following “dumb” rules, people who don’t give it their all, and people who arne’t competitive.<br/>Psychological Quirks: Sam is an adrenaline junkie and daredevil.  She’s only truly happy when she’s doing something extremely dangerous.  She’s often antsy and will use focusing exercises to combat her jitteriness.  She doesn’t sleep much, and will often forget to eat on a regular basis. She tends to find things to be competitive over.  Upon entering a room for the first time, she automatically notes all entry points and never sits with her back to a door. Suffers from PTSD.<br/><br/>Backstory: Born in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Samantha Mary Crouse was the youngest child and only daughter of professor and outdoorsman Trent Crouse and artist Elaine Crouse.  As far back as she can remember, Sam was always trying to keep up with her three older brothers; Josh, Jason, and Scott.  Anything her brothers did, she wanted to do, and she wanted to do it better. Around eight years old, she found her mother’s old camera and began taking photographs of anything and everything that caught her eye.  To her mother’s chagrin, it was the one thing that they could bond over, as Sam had no interest in ballet, gymnastic, or seemingly anything else other girls her age were doing.  Likewise, she didn’t want to sit still long enough to sculpt, paint, or draw like her mother.  Instead, she grew up learning everything her brothers did: hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, and mountaineering.<br/><br/>At the age of thirteen, she fell in love with motorcycles after her eldest brother, Josh took up motocross.  Within a few months she was able to disassemble the chassis and replace an engine.  She began racing the next spring.  When other girls were chasing boys, she was busy out-running them to checkered flags.<br/><br/>At 16, her father moved the family to Meteor City, Texas and took a dead of admissions position at the nearby University.  It was around this time that her love for motorcycles grew to a love for anything that had an engine in it.  She totalled her first vehicle shortly after.  Rolled it twice after taking a curve too fast and was rushed to the nearby hospital.  She was in a coma for two days, but when she woke she was able to walk out of there without assistance.<br/><br/>From that accident on, she came to realize that she healed quickly.  It didn’t happen overnight.  However, things like paper cuts would heal immediately, in fact, besides the pain she wasn’t even sure that she actually cut herself.  It wasn’t until a year later, that she knew indefinitely.  While out riding her dirt bike in the hills near an old rock quarry, she lost control of her bike and crashed, breaking her arm.  As she lay there screaming in pain, she watched as her arm mended. Without touching it, the bone began to straighten, causing even more pain, retracted from the puncture in her skin, and miraculously healed.  Then the hole healed too.  She was so stunned and shocked she forgot all about the pain.  Not exactly sure she believed what had happened, she tested it further.  Each time she healed completely, without a single scar.  Every time it seemed to regenerate more quickly.<br/><br/>She scoured the internet and disturbing rumors and incomplete reports of similar things happening to other people.  What she found was enough to scare her into keeping her ability a secret.  However, while she knew she needed to be discreet, she was unwilling to give up what she loved doing.  If anything, her newfound ability gave her the confidence to go faster and push harder.<br/><br/>At 18, after graduating high-school, she was presented with a sponsorship by Yamaha and an opportunity to race motocross.  Over the next two years, she traveled across the country, and even into Mexico, and competed in race after race.  To appease her parents, she spent some of her free time taking online college classes. She spent the rest of her time perfecting her photography skills.  With intimate knowledge of the tracks, she was able to capture shots from angles other photographers didn’t know about or were too afraid to get.<br/><br/>At the age of 20, her family was devastated by the unexpected death of her brother Scott during his second military tour.  Feeling the loss deeply, and with an undeniable desire to find answers, Sam abandoned her motocross career and enlisted in the Marines.  When she eventually saw combat, unafraid of being shot, she flanked the enemy’s entrenchment and created a crossfire that forced the enemy to surrender.  A month later, her entire unit was lost after stumbling across an anti-personnel field.  After waking up, and her body mended itself, she knew she wouldn’t be able to explain her survival, so she went AWOL, presumed to be dead.  It took some doing, but she was able to get back into the States, changed her name, and acquired forged identification.<br/><br/>She moved to California and began learning to be a stuntwoman.  Over the last three years, she’s lived as Samantha Crouse, stuntwoman, daredevil, and professional parkour runner.  Recently, she has returned to Meteor City, due to her father’s untimely death and to let her mother know she’s still alive.<hr/><br/>(https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjMyLjAwMDAwMC5RV0pwYkdsMGFXVnouMAAAAAAAAA,,/comic-balloon-new.regular.png)<br/>Talents:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Parkour</li><li>Observant</li><li>Photography</li><li>Driving</li></ul><br/>Skills:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Excellent Mechanic - specifically motorcycles</li><li>Proficient Acting - focus on “movie fighting”</li><li>Adept close combat - mix of MMA, krav maga, and jiu jitsu</li><li>Adept Marksmanship - military grade weaponry (handguns, rifles) and hunting weapons (rifles and crossbows)</li></ul><br/>Power: Regenerative Healing Factor (https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Regenerative_Healing_Factor)<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Rapid Regeneration: Her body can recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs and limbs.  Injuries like cuts heal instantaneously, puncture wounds, like stabbing or small calibre bullets, heal within seconds, larger calibre wounds take half a minute or more.  Organs will regrow in half a dozen minutes, and limbs take hours.</li><li>Nigh inexhaustible stamina and vitality: Her body instantaneously removes the toxins produced by her muscles while performing strenuous exercise which prevents fatigue.</li><li>Immunity: She is immune to disease, infection, aging, and poisons.</li><li>Self-sustenance: her body doesn’t require food or oxygen to work.</li></ul><br/>Advantages: She is difficult to kill.  It’s theorized that she would die if all of her cells were destroyed.<br/>Disadvantages: While her body can heal without a scar, her mind is not as resilient.  She experiences all the pain associated with the injury, and the pain caused by her body quickly regenerating itself.  While she is, in fact, immortal, if her brain was ever damaged and had to regrow she would lose her memories, sense of self, knowledge, and skills she’s accumulated.  Effectively needing to relearn everything and, in doing so, become a different person.<br/><br/>Weapon(s): Glock .40 Caliber with 2 loaded magazines (concealed carry)<br/>Gear: Motorcycle, duffle with change of clothes, days rations, first aid kit, wrench set, plyers, padded motorcycle jacket, helmet, and sunglasses.<br/><br/>Connections: TBD
