Personality:
Sam is a happy-go-lucky guy; he's goofy, a giggler, and has a certain Irish charm. He can be funny, and is generally very friendly, selfless to a point. He's also polite and has good manners.
Over the past year or so, he's matured a lot. He can be serious when the occasion calls for it. He's also a lot more driven now, confident, he knows what he wants. He takes pride in himself, his talent, and (to some extent) the way he looks. His relationship with Eva is sure to make him grow even further.
Likes:
~ Cooking, and experimenting with new foods and flavours.
~ Music, all sorts of stuff, he usually plays it while he's in the kitchen.
~ Basketball, he was a keen player in High School.
~ Films, he finds them highly enjoyable and can usually be found watching them in the Common Room in his spare time.
Dislikes:
~ Uncomfortable situations, he'll offer help and support, or a solution, but he'll more than likely extract himself from any awkward moments.
~ Mess, he tends to keep the kitchen as tidy as possible.
~ Jerks, if a guy is uncool to a lady, then he'll take offence.
Fears:
~ Death, he loves life too much to leave it, but when he's sure it's his time, he'll go willingly.
~ Clowns, it's more of an irrational fear than anything, but he hates their creepy demeanour and how patronising they are.
History:
Sam isn't exactly normal. Not just because he's half alien, but because of the nature of how he was brought into the world. On Ilosia, the men are the ones that bear the children. His Dad, Keith, didn't know this when he fell in love with Ferranti, the beautiful Ilosian, and so suffered terribly after their first and only sexual encounter. Ferranti ran away as soon as she found out he was pregnant. Of course, Keith couldn't carry the baby to term, and so after only a mere six months in... wherever the baby was, they had to give Keith a caesarean. Unfortunately, Keith didn't survive the procedure, and so Sam was entrusted to Keith's parents, Ignatius and Rachel.
Apart from the odd beginning, Sam did his best to fit in while at school. He wasn't exactly the most popular boy in school, but he wasn't shunned or bullied too badly. He kept all of his past a secret from his friends, so they wouldn't tease him, and luckily it was mostly easy, as he looked and felt human - his body was mostly human, except for one thing.
His Grandparents found out about his telekinetic powers when he was two and managed to send one of his teddy bears soaring across the room and into the fish tank without using his hands. By the age of five, he could lift his Grandfather up in his armchair while he watching the television. He practised his skills in all sorts of ways, and used to use them in the kitchen when he was cooking with his Grandmother.
Cooking was his passion from an early age. It started with him helping his Grandmother in the kitchen, to him graduating from school and helping in his Uncle's restaurant. His recipes and flares to the already established meals made the restaurant a huge success. This, and a recommendation from a government officer that used to frequent the restaurant, earned him a place on the Venia.
After joining the Venia, his life became far more dramatic. He made new friends, remade old connections, and generally enjoyed himself despite the action. A run in with two members of R4 took him to hell and back, and despite how hard it was to leave the Venia (and Eva) behind, he left the crew, taking up the role of Head Chef of a new, and quickly prestigious London based restaurant. He wasn't happy though, and eventually, he found his way back to Eva's open arms.
He is now back on board in his old position, cooking up a storm, ready for anything.
Random Facts:
~ Has (strong) telekinetic abilities.
~ Has no desire to find his mother, if she abandoned his Dad in his hour of need, and abandoned him, then she's not worth knowing.
~ May possibly develop other abilities to do with his telekinesis, with practice.
~ Eva is his soul mate.
RP Sample:
"Bollocks!" Sam cried, hopping in circles, clutching at his burnt finger. "Stupid hot water, oh Christ, ow, oh my God." Shaking his head, he blew on his finger. How on Earth is that going to help? "Sam, you big baby," he said to himself, finally making his way over to the sink, running the injured finger under cold water. The pain immediately subsided, and he let out a sigh of relief, running his other hand up into his hair, pulling his head down, cursing his own stupidity. The crew very nearly could have found a shrivelled finger in with their carrots if he hadn't been quick. That would be one way to get sacked. Jobless and fingerless, would a pathetic mess he would have been.
Once his finger was sufficiently numb and blue, he turned the tap off, and dried up the mess. He probably wouldn't need to visit the Medical Bay, but if it kept hurting, he'd make a trip specially for his finger. It was then that he turned and saw the people in the mess hall staring at him. Whoops. "Hey guys," he said with a big grin, "I'm okay, thanks for asking." Turning back to the food, he went back to work. He wasn't expecting someone to actually come up and talk to him...
Rules: Ha! What are these things you call rules?
