Though they are hidden well enough for almost nobody to notice, Samuel has a few very noticeable scars on his body. They were obtained the night that all hell broke loose, in an effort to get away from the werewolf, his chest and back got severely scratched up. Not only did the night cause scarring from the scratches, a large peice of skin had to be grafted onto his left shoulder after a chunk of flesh had been ripped out.

Aside from the scars and evidence of that night, there is another marking that Samuel does not like too show. It is a large tattoo he got on his twentieth birthday. Since it was done in haste and with little thought as too the fact he would have it for the rest of his life, he got it on his forearm so the world could see that he wasn't the little sheltered kid he seemed. Wrapping around the entire circumfrence of his right cuff, it is a coiled up snake with two-inch long fangs dripping of a purple venom. Specifically made for the use of Belladonna as the intended poison shown in the fangs.

Likes:

- Star Wars, Farscape, Star Trek... lets just say, anything related to science-fiction.
- Reading. It seems dorky, but Samuel loves to read any type of novel.
- Tattooes, despite getting one on his twentieth birthday which he now hates.
- Family, is very important to Samuel. He would do anything for the ones he loves.
- Chocolate. One of the comfort foods from Samuel's childhood is chocolate.


Dislikes:

- Life. Samuel hates how his life has changed in the past year.
- Werewolves. The foul creatures killed Lauren and destroyed Samuel's life.
- Fire. Sam hates anything that can destroy easily, fire is that destroyer.
- Sleeping or Dreaming. When Samuel closes his eyes and starts to dream, he see's the horror that happened on that fateful night that ruined his life. He see's what can happen to the ones around him, unless he gains control of the beast that lays inside of him.
- Full Moons. Samuel has killed and eaten on these moons, it burdens him with shame.


Fears:

- Hurting the ones that he loves: Samuel hates to think that in his rage during full moons he would ever attack Nick, Kris or Megan. It is quite a possibility, and the twenty-three year old knows that. The only sane feeling he has when it regards to controlling himself, is knowing that Lauren died because of a creature who couldn't handle the responsibility of being a werewolf. If he has any self-control it is because he doesn't want to turn into something like the angry and hateful thing that killed his little sister.

- Clowns or anything Clown-Like: Since he was a young boy of six, Samuel has been terrified of clowns. It all happened when he went with a couple of his friends to a carnival for a birthday party. The games were fun, the food was delicious and the entertainment was fairly substantial... However, as he was helping a magician with one of their tricks, a clown snuck up behind him and when he turned around, hit him in the face with a banana cream pie. While his friends enjoyed to see it, Samuel was scarred for life from that clown and all of the laughter that had erupted from the audience.


Personality:

Courageous and Loyal: 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. He has been like this since he was a child, which is why everything that happened on the night which Lauren died, still haunts him to the very day. Sam wishes that he could have did more that night to save his little sister from the horrifying fate that await her. If he had been a little quicker, or had applied his strength a little better... words can't describe what might have happened.

Intelligent: 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. That doesn't mean if he saw a creature running towards him, he would pause and pull out a book rather than run away or stand ready to fight.

Insecure: 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. Which is exactly what took over Samuel's life during that moment. He wasn't exactly trusting with everyone that he met beforehand, but after it seemed that he barely even trusted people whom he had known for years. 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.

Artistic & Creative: Samuel has always had the creativity course through his body, he can take a sheet of plain canvas, a couple of tubes of paint, and somebodies hand turning it into a magnificent peice of artwork within a few hours. Seeing things in a different light work well with Samuel's brain, and they produce fine finished creations. Mostly, Sam only paints but on the rare occasion that he writes, he can make a very emotional and deep poem. However, few people know of his artistic side.

Caring and Gentle: If you have a cold or the stomache flu, it takes a very special person to get you back on your feet. For his friends and family, this person is Sam. He hates to see anyone uncomfortable or feeling ill, to the extent that he will and has in the past played nurse to the one who is sick. Waiting on them hand and foot, cooking them good soup and taking special care to keep them cool and comfortable. Samuel is quite the sweetheart when he takes care of you. He can handle any whining or moaning that you may put him through, aslong as it is for your sake... he won't really care.

Introverted: 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. Growing up, he was always the lonesome sibling, Nicholas had Kristoffer and Lauren had Megan. Being the middle child, he already was accustomed to being passed over for attention in place of his baby sister. This made him so used to just spending time by himself, that it passed on into his adult years. 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.

History:

Samuel Alexander Sullivan was brought into the world, kicking and screaming, at one thirty in the morning on November 3rd. It was not a particularly painful birth, atleast according to Amanda, his Mother. However, as his Father Richard was on the recieving end of his wifes wrath, he claims his hand would never be the same again. Samuel was immediatly placed into the situation of the middle sibling, as it was discussed upon his parents that they would not stop until they had a girl. He had only two years of being the baby of the family, until Lauren was born. Since he cannot remember life between the ages of two and four, he has always felt the tough time of the middle sibling.

Life was not impossible for the youngest Sullivan son as he grew up, just it seemed to be very lonesome for him. Having a brother whom was three years older than him, definitly meant that he could not follow his brother EVERYWHERE that he went. Having a little sister meant that he could not spend alot of time with his parents, since they were more focused on what Lauren wanted. Instead of making a big fuss of the lack of attention he recieved, Samuel decided he would use his alone time to be productive. Which is where his stunning amount of study skills comes into the picture, he was quick to take books out of the library that were quite above his age level, and found himself learning all sorts of things. Samuel particularly liked learning new languages.

Kristoffer and Megan Cooper, were quickly added into the picture after not long of his life. It made perfect sense that they would be almost part of the family, since Kris was the same age as Nicholas and Megan was the same age as Lauren. Their perfect little family life of Lauren and Samuel following Nicholas around was quickly ruined. His little sister had too much fun playing around with her new found friend that she didn't want to follow her older brother around, and Samuel hated feeling like a third wheel to the older boys. However, in between learning different subjects and teaching his many stuffed animals (Don't make fun, he isn't girly!) what he learned, Samuel found himself drawing closer to the girls. He enjoyed being their knight in shining armour when they were young and transfering into the protective big brother in Highschool, since Kristoffer and Nicholas left school, before they entered it.

Life took the worst turn in his life on that fateful night.

While most of the evening is a giant blur in his mind and the only clear memories he has is waking up in the hospital by himself. He remembers all sorts of faces and doctors circling around him, rushing all over the place, attaching needles to his arms and pumping medicine into his body. It still rings clear as a bell in his head, as he thrashed around in the hospital bed, screaming at the top of his lungs about his little sister and that he was fine, but Lauren needed all of their help. Their voices are one giant mush as they told him to calm down and relax, telling him that everything would be better if he just stopped moving. His lungs felt like they were collapsing, and his throat got sore as he just kept on yelling. Until someone told him the fated truth.

"I'm sorry son, but the young woman that you were brought in with... she just died on the operating table."

In that moment, a part of him did collapse... his heart broke in two. He was destroyed by the truth, and this harmed him in more ways than anything. He no longer had the person that got him out of bed in the morning, the girl that he had spent so much time with laughing and messing around with. It was almost like he lost a part of his soul along with his baby sister. He was released from the hospital in the following week so that he could go back to normal, but something wasn't right. He didn't just feel hurt emotionally, his limbs moved in a very painful fashion, opening his eyes gave him a headache. Every morning he would wake up feeling different from the last, until exactly one month from the day he was attacked had passed.

Falling to the floor in a fury of pain, he felt himself physically transforming right then and there. He had turned into the creature that had killed his sister. A werewolf, one born of pure sin and hatred. Once his brother, Kristoffer and Megan found out. A light was sparked in their eyes, what if they could investigate these types of creatures. For months all they did was research, until they had formed exactly what their idea was about. A way to protect people from harm, much like the harm that had reached Lauren.

Thus Sullivan & Cooper P.I was born.




Roleplay Sample:

Samuel didn't need to be told twice, the moment that all sound disappeared from the eerie woods had already gotten his heart pumping with fear and worry, the girls weren't the type to play with him or the older boys, so his gut could only tell him one thing. Megan and Lauren were in trouble. So as soon as Nicholas had offered the suggestion of splitting up to find the girls, Samuel was on his toes. His head turning quickly in every direction, the young man barely even noticed his brother and Kristoffer's disappearance into the night. They were off looking for the girls, Lauren and Megan, just like he should be doing, instead of just standing around.

In a quick moments time he heard rustling in the nearby trees, and rushed in after it. Megan was the first one he had seen, huddled beside a tree shaking from fear, Samuel didn't even want to imagine what had caused her such distress. Projecting his voice, he yelled at the top of his lungs. "NICK! I found Megan! KRIS! Hurry guys, somethings wrong!" With a sickening realisation from what he just said, the youngest Sullivan brother felt his heart stop. If Megan was here, where the hell was Lauren? Had she gotten away too, or did the creature still have his baby sister?

The answer came to Sam all too quickly.

Hearing a menacing growl from a clearing in close distance, he fought his way through the branches and tree's just in time to see the 'beast' holding Lauren in his mouth, his big sharp teeth latching into her abdomen. Within seconds, Samuel found himself snapping under the angry and fury that arrived from seeing Lauren in that position. He knew from the young age of seven that if any of his siblings were in trouble, he would be there for them in an instant. Nomatter the danger. This would be no different from beating up the guys that hit on Lauren, or punching the neighbourhood bully in the face for stealing her lunch box... atleast this should be no different in theory, right?

Wrong.

"Get off of her!" Sam found himself screaming at the monster, before running as fast as he could towards it and Lauren. Jumping ontop of the creature, he clawed his way at the large arms that were holding Lauren. His fingers digging into the fleshiest part he could find, and trying to dig out some skin. This effort was futile, as he was flung through the air without a second thought. Landing painfully against the bark of a tree, Samuel wasted not a minute in getting back up and running back into the fight. There was no way in hell that he would abandon his sister, especially not when she needed him. This time he managed to get a better hold, and the werewolf dropped Lauren and turned its sight on Sam.

The sudden sensation of pain hit the man like a ton of bricks as he felt teeth rip into his shoulder, they latched into his arm with force and started to rip at the skin. Sam couldn't help but scream out in horror as his shirt started absorbing blood and tons of it... his own blood was drenching his body. His arm felt like it was being torn from his body, and that was partially the truth as he saw a large fleshy part tear from his shoulder. His scream only got louder, tears of pain staining his face.

Looking over at his little sister, Samuel couldn't help but notice that she wasn't moving. Instantly he was confused, if she didn't move it would probably go back to attacking her once it had finished with him. "Lauren... LAUREN! Come on Lauren, MOVE! You have to get out of the way!" His voice grew hoarse from the shouting as he kept his hands on the creature. Claws dug into his back, his sides and his stomache so tightly and painfully that Samuel was almost ready to toss in the towel and just let himself die. But everytime he looked back at Laurens still body on the ground, he couldn't help but know it was his duty to keep fighting until she was at a safe distance.

Just maybe, if he kept on holding back the monster, distracting it... atleast long enough for Nicholas and Kristoffer to show up, it might be enough to save Laurens life.
