Sammy Jax

### Affiliation

Squeakers, Koda, Barkson, Tally, Donut, Floof, Sandy, March, Hugh, Gille, Benjamin, Chifley

## Physical Attributes

### Gender

He/Him

Living on the streets is hard for any toon, not just an urchin who just wants to protect any toon smaller (and younger) than himself. Struggles with his emotions and is incredibly earnest and awkward. Will die for you first.

## Personality

Sammy is a stubborn and awkward toon who isn't used to his emotions anymore. He loves fiercely and will do anything to protect the people he's made connections with. He has a tendency to quickly bond with people, even if they want nothing to do with him at first and despite his past is very quick to trust. Sammy has a stunning lack of self preservation when it comes to himself, preferring to throw himself into the line of fire over having his friends and family hurt.

## Appearance

Sammy has paper white skin but has shading cells that change colors depending on his mood. He has seven upside down tear drop markings on his face, one for each color of the rainbow. He wears dark greys with rainbow lining on his hood and a dark mask covers his nose and mouth in an attempt to hide his identity.

## Backstory

**Early Life:**

Sammy grew up with wealthy merchant parents who had a summer home in one of the Realkind continents. When Sammy was 10, their summer home burnt to the ground and Sammy was told to run, starting his life as an urchin.

**Urchin Trauma Conga Line:**

While Sammy was on the streets, he met a kindly real kind man who lured him in with sweet words and promises and then with Charm. Sammy is able to run away from the man, but not before his identity was revealed. Blaming the fact that his shading changes colors with his emotions, Sammy suppressed them - thus shutting off any source of color on his skin at all for eight years.

## Shenanigans (Spoilers ahead!)

**Obligatory Chase Scene - A Toonkind FPS (with MitzvahRose)**

Sammy sneaks into the movie theater to watch the premiere of the Engineer's *Lost and Found*, where upon he sees the purple fuzzy bat Koda - who he had fought alongside during the Battle of the Layzee River against Dora's zombie forces. The theater's security guard, retired detective Billy Barkson, finds them both and the titular chase scene ensues. Sammy finds Koda's rat Jackie and reunites them - where it becomes clear that Sammy if left to his own devices will certainly go down hill.

**Rated Arrrr - A Pirate AU Oneshot (DM- Noa)**

Sammy has a dream. In this dream, Sammy meets three very special toons: Donut, Floof and Tally (played by AudioVisual, GhostyGoo, and Artist of Obsessions respectively). They all are in the same situation, stuck in pirate versions of themselves. A Pirate AU if you will. They all have to pretend to be their pirate selves in order to survive the trip to find hidden treasure. As a group, they all go off to find the treasure - and eventually they do. But Tally, the youngest of the group at only the equivalent age of 10, gets swept out to sea. And Tally doesn't know how to swim. Sammy thinks that he failed her, and then to make matters worse, they come back to the pirates and end up marooned because the pirate captain realized that they weren't who they said they were and thought that they had killed Tally on purpose.

And then, the Navy appears and both pirates and Navy start fighting and it's revealed that Tally wasn't dead! But she's still captured by the Navy and the group has to rescue her. Tally ends up stealing the talent of the Navy Admiral and the Pirate Captain is able to defeat her easily. The group then manages to convince the Pirate Captain to surrender with the proof that they didn't really kill Tally. The conflict now eased - the group fall asleep and then wake up - back where they originally were - separated.

The same man who had used Charm Person on him when he was first on the streets.

Koda catches up just in time to see Sammy walk over to the Realkinds' side - clearly under the effects of Charm Person. Koda fights and manages to free Sammy from the Realkind, killing the two realkind men who Sammy didn't recognize. The man that Sammy recognizes, escapes. Detective Billy Barkson arrives on scene and takes Koda and a traumatized Sammy back to his apartment, giving them a place to stay until everything shakes out.

Maurice catches them at it, and both Sandy and Sammy book it with their ill-gotten gains. They run through some alleyways, and nearly run into one of the realkind members associated with the man who had Charmed Sammy before. They manage to sneak past and Sammy freaks out once they're safely back at the bridge where they had met. Sammy once again falls into the water. On the shoreline of the river, Sammy and Sandy discover that the shopkeeper Maurice had slipped in a bag of candy into Sammy's pocket.
