## History

### Pre-Selection

The eldest child of the family, Samuel Sheridan as well as his six siblings, was conceived with a purpose: to give his parents the good life they’ve always wanted. As Sevens the family works in the big ranch of a very old couple in Folsom, Miston, where Samuel was in charge to take care of the horses, help his father, Terrell, with other chores inside the house and attend to his younger siblings, along with Jurnee, his sister. From a young age, both of them used to do things like cooking or cleaning for everyone else in the small place the owners let the family live in.

Although he sometimes didn’t have the time because of work, he loved going to public school. Samuel’s discreet, but easy-going character got him a small group of friends in there, Eden Walsh among them. She was a Four girl whose parents owned a farm close to the O’Neill’s ranch where the Sheridan’s lived/worked so the two children became playmates. As they grew up they developed feelings for each other but Samuel knew his caste and condition weren’t in his favor. He simply could never drag her to that kind of life with him, for that reason he never spoke about the subject or acted upon it.

Samuel was only seventeen when his mother, Celia, got pregnant for the seventh and last time at a dangerous age bringing health complications to both, her and the baby girl. The Sheridan’s economic situation was only getting worse so by his parents ‘suggestion’ Samuel decided to willingly join the Illéan Army.

Becoming a Two seemed to be a great idea to solve his problems, for that reason, he packed his bags, and after saying goodbye to his family and friends, Samuel headed to Kent to get accepted at Fort Ozark to start his basic training. For seven months he wanted to work hard and be worthy to be the best and be worthy of everything he dreamt of. Unfortunately, one of those dreams was crushed when he found out Eden’s parents had married her to a wealthy man back at Miston.

It was a hard punch for Samuel but Eden seemed to be happy and he still had a family who needed him. His love for them and his strong sense of duty to them and his county was motivation enough to feed his ambition to escalate posts inside the military, plus deep inside there was a desire to become a recognized soldier in the 3rd battalion.

Our now Soldier continued his hard training at the Army Armor Center (6 months) where the hard work and determination got him stand out from the rest of the recruits. He then was chosen to be part of the Gault Squadron of the Household Regiment.

After that, it took Private Sheridan three more months in the Special Forces training camp to finally get assigned to serve as a guard officer at the Angeles Royal Palace.

Living under the same roof as his King and regent was an honor, but even so, It took Samuel some time to get used to his life in the palace. But as serious and taciturn as he had become, eventually, he found close mates among the servants of the palace and his comrades. They got him to open up and be his true self with them when he was off duty. He enjoyed (and still does) hanging with everyone and cooking for them as he used to do back at home, adopting them all like a second family.

But that never distracted him from his job, duty, and purpose. Samuel still wanted to climb higher to own his caste number and earn more money to send to the family he was always missing. On the other hand, his father (who had become a gambler himself) had found a way to still charge him and her sister Jurnee (now in the Navy) with responsibility and guilt, using lies and manipulation in order to make them send most of the profits of their work, which Samuel does willingly as he is living with the worry of his supposedly sick young sister and mother, whose health apparently, and despite all efforts, only seemed to get worse with time.

Soon an opportunity presented itself. Samuel successfully uncovered a daring attempt by a reporter from a famous magazine to get inside the Palace grounds disguised as a “new” kitchen staff member. It was a non-clever attempt of the media to gain a scoop of the King’s and his family's personal life. Samuel’s big feat and his good records got him a promotion, becoming part of the Kingsmen of the Household Regiment, commissioned to ensure Prince Raphael’s safety as his personal guard, in July 2164.

Since then he has been with Raphael in every step and every stage. In the beginning, just a dutiful guard that would give his life for his regents, and currently also a close loyal friend that dreams of getting to own a nice life on his own.
