Samael Keene

* Season 1

Danger sense (potentially)

## Personality

Samael is first introduced as an aloof co-protagonist to the heroine Rayne Liebert. Wary of those around him, he possesses very few people that he trusts. Brave and familiar with the world of Homesick, Samael courageously ventures out to search for supplies several times despite the dangers. While first shown as rough and hard-edged, empathetic and caring characteristics can be seen a few times throughout the story, (for example) when helping Rayne from being killed by Alexander.

## Appearance

Samael has short, apricot coloured hair, which swoops more to his left. He has thick merigold eyebrows that naturally curve downwards, resembling a frown. His eyes are lazy and relaxed, his black pupils dots in the sea of white. He wears a pitch black jacket with rolled up sleeves, above his simple maroon T-shirt. He wears long dark ebony pants and shoes that matches his jacket. Occasionally he is seen in a matching baseball cap, and a large backpack for his belongings. As of the recent chapters, he has never been seen smiling. By chapter 9, he acquires a baseball bat from a run-down store, glinting in a shade of lavender.

## Story

Samael was first introduced in Episode 1, where he helps Rayne and informs her on what has happened to the world throughout her coma. While guiding her to his home, they encounter a murk (demonic-like creatures who infest the world of Homesick) hiding behind a wall, deviously devouring a pitiful mouse.

Once reaching Samael's home, Rayne is introduced to Ogre, his cat and partner. Samael offers Rayne a ride to escape their town, however upon waking the next morning he discovers a note; explaining she plans to take care of herself, and not bother him any longer.

Samael makes a second appearance when he saves Rayne's life from Alexander. Once finally safe, Rayne offers to accompany Samael and Ogre on their journey, vowing to protect them. Samael eventually agrees to her deal, allowing Rayne to tag along.

Samael eventually stops his truck outside of a small convenience store, entering alone to scavenge for supplies. He discovers a bat and inspects it, only for a mysterious figure to point a gun to his head from behind. He learns that the culprit is Kenny Luckstar, his cousin, who lowers his gun and jokingly converses with Samael.

## Relationships

### Rayne Liebert

Samael and Rayne first meet at the start of episode 1, where she wakes up to see Samael. He informs her on what is occuring in their apocalyptic world, and provides salvation in his base. However, she then leaves his home to survive on her own, as she is buried with the guilt of being a burden to him.

Samael finds Rayne once more as he saves her from Alexander, and allows her to join his and Ogre's team on their adventure of survival. He drives to an abandoned store, and leaves Rayne and Ogre outside while he rummages through any potential supplies in the store. Rayne appears in the store later on, when she assumes that Samael is being attacked by his cousin, Kenny, who he encounters in the store. Samael tries to act as the middle ground and forces Kenny and Rayne to make up with each other, preventing the heat of their conflict from rising. However, when Kenny leaves, Samael and Rayne realise they're stuck, as Kenny drove off with Samael's truck, Ogre still in the vehicle. Samael burns with rage, but the pounding excruciation in Rayne's head tells her a murk is coming, and they run off to hide in a storage room. Samael passes out, his forehead burning from stress.

Rayne takes care of Samael as he rests, placing a wet cloth to cool the heat on his head, and sleeps on the edge of his bed. Samael wakes up to see Rayne's face, and pretend to be asleep as she hazily rises from her slumber.

Samael seems to act as Rayne's guide, though they haven't gotten the chance to get to know each other better as of the latest chapter.

### Ogre

Samael has a strong bond with his cat, and considers Ogre his companion and friend.
