Multiple moles and beauty marks on his back, as well as even more freckles. ]
Tier 2: Personality
Sam is a walking ball of sunshine, always smiling and happy to offer a helping hand to just about anyone. One could compare him to a human incarnation of a golden retriever: loyal, friendly, easily excited, talkative, and easy to get along with. He’s also very protective of his mom and younger brother Vincent.On the other hand, he might be easy to manipulate and gullible, trusting someone a little too hard and then facing the negative consequences. He’s forgetful and tends to be late a lot, doesn’t think before acting or speaking, and might talk a bit too loudly. He’s trying his best. Unfortunately, due to his mom’s overprotective nature, he grew up to be lazy and lacking basic skills like cooking meals or cleaning the house. He hardly ever shows the initiative either.LOVES Pizza, tigereye, cactus fruit, maple bars.
HATES Pickles, mayonnaise, mushrooms, sour berries, spicy foods.
Tier 3: Dismembered appendices
When he doesn’t have his rubber bands to write down his to-do lists, he writes on his hands or forearms instead. As a child, he always wore his parents’ phone numbers written on those bands just in case help was necessary. It wasn’t at all, but Jodi knew his firstborn to be hyperactive with a tendency to get lost (for example in malls).
He can play the guitar (both electric and acoustic), and is an excellent singer. He’s also writing the lyrics for his band. They aren’t usually too deep, however, unless he really tries.
He’s a skater boy, alright. He’s known to have caused damage to private property in Pelican Town and usually getting away with it thanks to his mom’s interventions. It’s his attempt at being a rebellious kid, even if deep at heart he is a massive softie and would never do anything to make Jodi angry or worried. He’s quaking in his boots whenever she frowns.
He constantly worries about his dad and the possibility of being recruited to the army as well. Unsure how to explain the international conflict to Vincent, he plays toy soldiers with his younger brother and tries to ease him onto the situation Kent is in.
