PERSONAL STYLE: Sam stands at about 5’10” with a fairly average build. He has blue eyes and light brown hair which he rarely styles. Sam pretty much hops out of bed and leaves his hair the way it is, with a possible added lick of gel and he's out the door. Sam is also supposed to wear glasses, most of the time he avoids doing so, he has only recently started using contacts.

He has fairly pale skin, which has become more prominent due to sun deprivation. Sam spends most of his time indoors and appears to be more of a night owl then much else. He's not a big fan of facial hair and can't grow a beard for shit. Sometimes he allows himself to have a slight bit of stubble but mostly opts to be clean shaven. Again, this all depends on his mood and if he can be bothered to make the effort.

Sam doesn't focus too much on how he looks, as he doesn't necessarily hold himself with pride. You'll often find Sam shying away, head down and hunched over keeping himself to himself going unnoticed or at least trying to go unnoticed.

When it comes to fashion, Sam could care less. He's not one to follow trends and would be much happier dressing himself in the way he chooses to. Sam likes to cover up, mostly because he has many scars from his teen years and rather then drawing questions, avoids displaying them entirely.

Sam has many scars, most gained from accidents as a child as Sam was extremely energetic and was often found climbing and swinging off of things. He's completely different now, a shift that changed after he was attacked. Sam has suffered many scars from his attack and having to have a lot of skin grafts mostly on his back and chest. He has large scratch scars on his back, chest and right arm (various from shoulder to wrist).

He likes layers, often choosing to wear t-shirts under shirts. Sam likes long sleeved shirts and t-shirts hoodies or anything that he can really use to cover up his entire upper body. Sam lives in his jeans, going for a more casual look over anything else.

Personality

GENERAL PERSONALITY: Samuel is the type of person who would go to the end of the worlds and beyond for the people he cares about. It doesn't matter whether it involves doing something dangerous, or taking on a task that nobody else wants. There is no end to the lengths he would go to protect the ones he loves.

Samuel is a very intelligent young man. Normally, he can crack most codes that are placed on computer consoles and can even decipher most foreign languages. However, his knowledge doesn't go much past books, computers and various technology. Which is almost to say, Samuel has nearly no street smarts and would be very useless in a situation where he has to use more common knowledge than something he could read out of a book.

When you have nearly nobody to trust, or the people that you do trust are snatched away from you prematurely, it is natural to imagine that you would grow up or develop trust issues. The only people he knew he could trust, were his family... which even sometimes Samuel seemed to have issues with, especially when it involved telling them about what he was feeling.

While he will do anything to protect the ones he loves, unless it is to stop something that threatens his family, Samuel won't really put himself in the middle of anything, whether it be a problem, a situation or even just a gathering between friends, it often needs a lot of persuading or for someone to simply force him into going. He is definitly the type of person who would rather shut himself up in his bedroom and read a book than go out for a night of partying amongst people his age. However it suits him, so there are no problems there.

He often takes a bout of silence when it comes to situations he's uncomfortable with. Sam hates arguing and when there are people arguing around him, he's likely to sink in his seat and stay silent, waiting for it to blow over. Of course, the man is not cowardice, he will confront those if need be and is most likely to do so when it concerns people he holds dear to him.

Powers, Abilities, Skills

Sam is a Werewolf.

Sam's transformations are incredibly painful. In his wolf-state, Sam loses all connection to his human self. In his wolf form, Sam is dangerous to all, including those closest to him (family) because in his state of mind he cannot recall on any memories of his regular life situations. Thus, everyone is merely a stranger to him even his nearest and dearest.

In addition, Sam also has no memory of events or actions when transformed, with only indications of what had transpired by his condition on awakening (ie. having eaten raw meat, having bad breath etc.)

As a wolf his strength is formidable and he is incredibly vicious, likely to kill anything in his path. Between transformations he has enhanced senses (especially smell) but they are particularly sensitive in the days following change.

POWERS/ABILITIES:

• Superhuman Strength
  
• Enhanced Speed
  
• Heightened Senses (Sight, Smell, Sound and Taste)
  

SKILLS:

• Technology; Sam has spent a lot of time around computers and systems. He's able to crack an array of codes placed on consoles and security systems, even those higher secured such as government websites and systems.
  
• Electronics Mechanic; Sam can also read the inside of a device like the back of his hand and is forever taking things apart, fixing them up and putting them back together.
  
• Speed Reading
  

LIMITS AND FLAWS:

Unfortunately, as a Werewolf Sam cannot avoid transformation and as a result cannot shift at will. Sam is not entirely invulnerable to injury in wolf form, but can sustain a lot more injuries then in his regular state. Any injuries taken in wolf form, will still remain once he has transformed back to his natural state.

• Scars; Sam has many scars all over his body. Some he received due to childhood stupidity. However, his most prominent scarring is those that he received during his attack. Sam has large scratch scars on his back and chest, a good amount from skin grafting, along with various scarring on his right arm that were sustained during the struggle. Sam keeps his scars hidden at all times, to avoid questions.
  
• Socially Awkward; Sam finds it extremely difficult to socialise with others. He often displays a nervousness about him, in the form of either a stutter, excessive perspiration, blushing and fumbling his words. In the worse case scenario all three occur. This nervousness is toward all types of new faces, especially women.
  
• Ailurophobia; Sam is petrified of cats.
  

History

Samuel Alexander Kramer was born in Dallas, Texas on November 3rd, 1985. Sam's father, James served in the marines and his mother was a middle school teacher. Being raised by a marine certainly had an effect on the household itself. Sam and his siblings were raised in a strict home with many rules and restrictions. Being the youngest, Sam was particularly coddled by his parents, specifically his mother and so as the youngest child was often given a lot more leeway then his older siblings; Jessica, Nick and Natalie.

As a child Sam was very energetic and curious of his surroundings, he was always looking for new things to explore and learn about. If he wasn't in his room inventing something, he was outside digging up the yard or climbing on the roof. He was somewhat of a daredevil as a child and because of his bravery and optimistic attitude, had quite a lot of admirers.

Despite his garish nature, Sam was one to focus on his studies and always had his head buried in a book. He grew up wanting to become so many things but all dealt with technology. Sam absolutely loved mechanics and technology, he'd find things in the house that were broken to mend and even sometimes would purposely break something just to piece it back together again.

Sams life was relatively normal, just like any other person he knew. His family weren't perfect, the siblings fought a fair amount often Nick and Jess who were more alike then they liked to admit. He didn't like getting involved in sibling rivalries and often left the two to their own devices.

Everything became calmer when Jessica became pregnant. Sam was 9 years old when he became an uncle for the first time, it was strange but nice to have someone in the house younger then he was. With the arrival of Kris and Jessica living at home for some time, Sam would often help or offer to do things to help out.

Sadly, once everything appeared to be getting back on track, tragedy rocked the family. Sam had been out with his siblings one evening. There car broke down on the side of the road, leaving them stranded on a back road. Coop was called to pick them up along with towing the vehicle. Sam had drunk too much soda while they were out and was bursting for the toilet, so opted to head inside the woods. Natalie headed a little way with him, so that he could find his way back...but the two never left the woods together.

In the woods, Natalie was attacked by a werewolf. Sam and Nick tried to help, shortly joined by Cooper but it was too late. After the beast had finished dragging her around, thrashing and shaking whilst she was stuck between his massive jaw...there was no life left in her. When they thought all was over, the creature returned and went after Sam. He was hit from the front, the creature taking them all by surprise. Sam fought as best as he could and with the help from Riley and Nick he was able to get away with injuries, but Natalie was long gone.

Sam was just 16 years old, he'd lost his older sister and was more less going to be scarred for life..physically and mentally. Everything was a mess. Of course, things were far worse then Sam could have ever imagined. After the attack, he was never the same again.

Having been attacked by a Werewolf, Sam had become the beast. The next 6 months were hard, not just because of the loss but because of the changes he was going through and the fact that everyone around him seemed to be fighting over him. The once colourful, confident young man quickly became very introverted and private, pushing all those close to him away..including his girlfriend; April. April and Sam had practically grown up together and started dating the year before. She supported him throughout his loss, but knowing what he was and how he was changing...Sam pushed her away.

For weeks he distanced himself from her, spending most of his time with Coop and Nick whom also felt it was best to stay away from April or at least until they figured out a way of helping his situation. Sadly, April couldn't let it go and one evening followed Sam, Nick and Coop to Coopers auto shop. She had chosen the wrong night to follow them and witnessed Sams transformation. At the time Sam was locked away in a makeshift cage that he, Coop and Nick had constructed a few weeks before.

Sam saw April a few days later. He'd been told by Coop and Nick that she'd followed them and freaked out after discovering what he was. It effected her badly, so much in fact that just to avoid bumping into him she decided to move to England to live with her grandparents. Sam couldn't blame her, he was a monster and if this experience was anything to go by..he had to get used to the rejection from others.

He wasn't going to have a normal life any more as he would forever be cursed now.

RP Sample

Sam awoke, a familiar cold upon his cheek as he lay face down on the ground. The past three mornings he'd awoken in the same spot, the cold floor of the basement. Of course, they'd upgraded since getting funding from the government. No longer was he stuffed in a small make shift cage, but rather one similar to that of a fighting cage..not that he'd done much, or any cage fighting but from what he'd seen on Tv..they were a decent size and build. Unfortunately, the blankets and pillows they'd supplied for comfot lasted all of five seconds before Sam ate them. He remembered the morning after, most specifically bathroom time...that was one hell of a rough morning. Sam would rather sleep face down on the cold floor then have to go through that ordeal again.

Suffice to say this was not ideal for anyone. The fact was he had to wake up stark bollocks naked and wait for his brother or friend to come and bring him some clothes because again, having them in the cage with him they were more or less going to get eaten. The way the cage was built, was no room for reaching out because the chances of one of them coming down and Sam clawing them...it wasn't worth the risk. Still, it could have been worse..or could it?

One thing Sam really couldn't get the use of, despite being this way for a very long time was the morning breath. Now, he dared to think what the wolf did..and quite honestly he didn't even want to begin thinking about it, dogs and all..were all the same in the end and he assumed the worse. He woke up always desperate for one thing, a toothbrush. Luckily for Sam, he didn't have a girlfriend because he'd feel sorry for the poor girl who had to bear that he just hoped it didn't pong like that all the time or else that was going to be a worse issue then howling at every full moon.

The young man slowly sat up, feeling a pounding headache coming on. He rubbed at his eyes, at his mouth which was covered in drool. Sam grunted slightly, scratching the back of his head before standing up. He took a look around the cage, he did it by habit half expecting to find that in the night somehow someone had gotten in and he'd ripped them to pieces. Thankfully, he hadn't. Sam had never hurt anyone, he'd always been locked away and the one time he had gotten out Riley hit him so hard in the head that he was out all night and suffered concussion for three days. It was necessary, and despite it hurting like a bitch...he appreciated it.

He readied himself for one of them to come down, as ever relying on his hands to cover up his dignity as he awaited for one of them to come down the stairs. They had a routine, 7am on the dot and one of them would be down to let him out. He was kind of like a pet in that sense, being let out to go about his business....it sucked.
