## Biography

### Early life

Growing up in a house hold with a genius for a father and an equally genius older brother had always been hard on Sam. The fact that they both were doctors only made pressure increasingly difficult for him. At a young age, he had watched his father and brother get along seemingly well while he was the odd one out. His mother was a ever present stay at home mother who manipulated him whenever he could. Guilting him into the littlest things so he would eat out of her palm. Life at home was not an escape for him but school was no better.

People often saw him as Mason's little brother. The names whispered the halls as he was welcomed to bullying at a young age. Right away people made him a target to which it felt never ending. The first and only friend he made had been Paul Chase. A farmer boy who was seen almost as much of an outcast at him. At least people had known his name whereas Paul, they seemed to be unaware to his existent. The two ended up sticking together through the torment they endured.

His second friend didn't come until he was 7 years old when he met a new girl by the name of Melinda. She helped stop a bully from picking on him to which the young boy was grateful. Finding another friend had meant a lot to the young boy and they stuck together. It made getting through his early ears a tad bit better instead of seeming impossible to get through.

When he entered middle school, he tried out for the baseball team which didn't go well. It turned out that he wasn't very good at baseball which only discouraged him more. There was a part of him trying to follow in his brothers shadow even more as his brother had been good at baseball in middle school. This put him even more of a funk that he wouldn't seem to admit.

Life got a little bit better once he entered High School. He made friends with a girl by the name of Katy Jung and had created a little group of friends which was better than the nothingness he had beforehand. Within this group, he found the ability to be himself a little bit easier. There was less of a pressure to be what Mason was as none of them seemed to request that of him. To top it off, he was starting to catch feelings with Katy as they began flirting a little bit.

Sophomore year, he decided to go all out in asking her out with flowers and the nine yards. Thankful to him, she had said yes to him. The two began dating and Sam couldn't be happier. The year came and went; their Junior year had came a lot quicker then they expected. Things were going well with his first girlfriend and the pressure of matching up to his families expectations seemed to melt away pretty easily.

The summer before his Senior year was when things took a turn for the rest. Paul, his best friend, had left early after not feeling well. Sam texted Paul that he'd check up on Natalia to make sure she was okay with how drunk she had been. When he went upstairs, he was met with her in bed with Jon. Seeing it all had upset him greatly when he informed them that he would be telling Paul. At first, they had tried to convince him not to but there was no convincing him of that.

This fact alone had had been one of his worse choices as suddenly Jon, in anger, charged him to throw him down the stairs. After that, everything had gone black to which he had no clue what had happened. It wasn't until a few hours later that he was awoken with his brother over him. Having brought him back to life, Mason began nursing him in secret while keeping him held up in hiding. This had thrown him off as he didn't get why his brother kept him chained up in secret. The refusal to let him leave or go see his friends was infuriating to him. He had to listen to his brother ramble in paranoia and things that made no sense.

## Personality

At first, Sam was a sweet and caring boy who rarely made an issue towards those around him. Often someone who struggled with other peoples opinions of him including to do with his brother. This was something he struggled with often despite not wanting to admit that. When it came to his family, he was very closed off and kept his distance from them as much as he could. Around his friends was where he was self which was a little bit nerdy with a love of building and architecture.

After the incident, he struggled a lot with his mental health. Things stressed him out a lot easier and he struggled with trusting a lot of the people he called friends. In trying to handle the stress of what had happened to both his friends and himself as well as losing what he had with Katy, he turned to drinking. Being a high functioning alcoholic as it was something that he hid from his friends. Keeping it hidden from them to avoid anymore worrying. He also is nowhere near as much of a hopeless romantic as he once was, often looking at love with a cynical view.

## Physical description

During school, Sam kept his brown-black hair at a medium length with bangs that swept over his blue eyes. During his time being holed up, his hair had grown up and only been sloppily killed. Once he was free, he had resumed his usual hair cut. He stands at 5'9 while weighing in at 110 pounds with a slim build. Throughout both seasons, he kept mostly the same outfits throughout it. Wearing a lot of jackets and button up long sleeved shirts. Usually wearing jeans as well in his best attempt to stay comfortable.
