Personality wrote:There is nothing more exciting to Sam than searching for something, anything, that glitters. He has plans to live full time in Egypt as soon as he is old enough and has visited several times, working after school just to scrape up the money to travel over the summer. Somehow he always seems to earn it back... usually by a method he does not prefer to disclose to anyone. His schoolwork has become slightly neglected as he grows old enough to go off on his own, but he excels in all of his history classes and has recently taken up an Arabic language course so that he will be able to communicate with Egyptian natives. The architecture of the towering pyramids enraptures him. He has excellent navigation skills and can decipher even maps in the roughest of shape. He has located countless places that weren't previously known to exist, but of course he does not tell just anyone where they are, even if they're not that far from his backyard.
You may want to call him a grave robber, but he prefers not to use that title, as it comes with a bad reputation. He refers to himself as a "treasure hunter" and no one seems to question him any further. He is just a young kalon who enjoys searching for things. Right? Sam is very skilled in what he does. He leaves almost no trace that he was ever where he wasn't supposed to be, and almost always emerges from his jobs successful. However, he does not keep all of the loot for himself. A portion of it goes to his family, to help them pay for what they need, and another to history museums. Sometimes he even donates artifacts he has found to them, but always anonymously so he cannot be tracked if someone were to become suspicious.
Overall, Samson has a huge heart. He hates to see injustice towards anyone who cannot stand up for themselves and typically favors the underdogs. Danger is often perceived as a challenge to him and he might remind you of a young Indiana Jones on his best days, although he does not share the fear of snakes. He has a very charming nature that gets him out of trouble in most cases. He is a good friend, but not someone you'd want to have as your enemy either. Life is a big adventure to him and every day is a new opportunity for excitement.
Relationships with Family wrote:Skylar
Sam and his mother have a close relationship. Skylar is constantly worrying about what danger her son may be in, as he purposely does not tell her many details of what he is up to when he is away. Its not because he doesn't trust her, but because he doesn't want her to worry. He sometimes sends her back a gem or piece of jewelry as a gift from his adventures.
Helios
Helios is very uncomfortable with Sam's self-proclaimed profession. He is always nervous that Sam will be caught and arrested or that he will get hurt. After getting into several fights with his son about it, he realized that Sam needed to be granted the freedom to make his own choices, or maybe even gave up the fight against his strong-willed child. He checks up on him often, but does his best not to lecture him. Sending money is Sam's way of proving to his dad that he is doing something worthwhile, but he also does it out of love for his family.
Cirrus
Cirrus and Sam are not very close. In his early childhood, he bonded more with Skylar, as she was always there to support him in any way she knew how. Cirrus has always thought badly of Samson's passion. She refuses to consider his "treasure hunting" a profession and the coldness between the two of them did not improve as a result. They are civil toward each other, but not on the best of terms as of now.
Derse
Sam has no quarrel with Derse, but sometimes he feels like she tries too hard to make others happy instead of doing what makes her happy. He wants the best for her and tries to encourage her to have fun outside of her practicing, but it seems as though she thinks he intends to be mean. When he can, he always tries to attend her games and shows and be as supportive as possible.
Stratus
Sam and Stratus are sort of opposites. Stratus has a relatively calm lifestyle, while Samson is always off seeking thrills. They tend to pick on each other, and this sometimes ends in an argument because of Stratus's temper and Sam's sarcastic nature. They usually resolve it quickly or just move on and forget about it, and have been known to have intellectual conversations when alone together.
