Performer: 12 years
Staff: 22 years

Voice Claim: { Indecisiveness strikes again ;; }
Abilities:
While Sam is a fairly skilled individual, improvement is always welcome if it means making his life a bit easier.

Ability One: Strength
You can create an empathic bond with another person through touch, allowing you to feel their emotions and feelings (and have control over whether they can do vice versa). Cool down is 10 minutes.

Ability Two: The Moon
You can see brief glimpses into someone's memory, but the images will not always be clear or decipherable, and you will only see (or feel) how the person remembers it, whether it is accurate or not. Lasts for 2 minutes and has a 30 minute cool down.

Ability Three: The Devil
Whoever you make direct eye contact with will instantly become frightened of you, and will remain so for 10 minutes. Cool down is 20 minutes.

Ability Four: The Chariot
You can see/sense the emotional auras of others who are within a 10 foot radius of you. This lasts for an hour and can be used 3 times before being exhausted.
Passive [The Chariot Reversed]: You can now see people's auras from a much farther distance (up to a 20 foot radius) but the farther they are, the harder they are to read. Others can also sense your emotional aura when in close proximity.

Ability Five: Wheel Of Fortune
You can see possible glimpses into someone's future when within 5 feet of them or closer. However, you will only see glimpses and you will not know when, or where the possible event will take place. Like with memories, the images will not always be clear, nor accurate. Can only see up to 3 minutes of their future, and can be used only twice a week, anymore will result in blacking out or migraines.
Passive [Wheel Of Fortune Reversed]: If you are in physical contact with the person, you can see up to 6 minutes of their future (but the visions are still not guaranteed to be clear, accurate, or in order).


Personality:

[-] Aloof • Emotionally Repressed • Antisocial • Morose • Blunt • Socially Awkward
[+/-] Sarcastic • Straightforward • Stoic • Clever • Quiet
[+] Empathetic • Hard Working • Honest • Brilliant • Innovative • Loyal

Samael appears as a rather stoic, individual who speaks in a permanently sarcastic tone (whenever he does speak). He often comes across as insensitive due to his brutal honesty, bluntness, and passive aggressive remarks but he doesn’t mean to do so just to be cruel, but rather he doesn’t tolerate blatant laziness, and is a person who will always speak the truth, no matter how ugly it may be, and won’t sugar coat it with empty promises. Sam appears to make it a point to keep most people at an icy distance, but he will occasionally show subtle acts of kindness or empathy towards those who need it. Despite being surrounded by immorality within the circus, Sam has surprisingly sound moral compass, and will speak up if he deems something to be right or wrong, even if it gets him in trouble sometimes, but he knows when to keep his mouth shut. Overall, Sam is actually a fairly decent person deep down. But despite this, it is not easy to gain his trust, and is even more difficult to earn back once broken. He doesn’t tolerate manipulators, and if you try, just know that he rarely forgives, but he never forgets, so lest you want to end up on his permanent shitlist, you'd best be careful not to take him as a gullible fool that you can easily control, as it would be the last mistake you’d ever make with him…



"...I've often wondered which is harder; living, or the decision to stop living when death is no longer guaranteed for you... what do you think?"




History:

TW: Mentions of emotional abuse, child abuse, alcoholism, death and murder.

TL;DR - Sam is born to be a tool for father’s own agenda, develops health issues and is locked away and abused by his father, mother tries to help him escape but is killed, he escapes, lives on the streets for weeks, and is found by his uncle and his music troupe. His uncle disappears years later, boy becomes depressed but starts dating the new guy in the troupe in secret, finds out he’s actually a lying, cheating asshole, they fight and Sam accidentally kills him in a bar fight, lives on the streets again, finds the circus after hiding from law enforcement in one of their tents, and has been there ever since.

Long Version -
Sam was the illegitimate child of a Welsh Nobleman and a Spanish servant girl as a last ditch effort for his father to produce an heir. His father treated Sam more like a tool rather than a son, so the only source of parental affection he received was from his mother, but even that was limited by his father. As he grew up, he was groomed by his father to be the “perfect” heir, providing him with the best tutors and teaching him multiple different skills and languages. But after Sam developed epilepsy at the age of 8, his father deemed him a “failure” and had him locked away in the house to save face, completely isolating him from the world. Because of Sam’s “failure”, his father would often drink and take his drunken rage out of his son. This lasted for 4 years, until his mother had had enough, fearing that he would one day kill her son, and so she planned to steal Sam away and live with her younger brother and his traveling family currently stopped in one of the nearby towns.
But on the night of their escape, his father caught them before they could get out the door. Sam then watched as his mother was brutally beaten to death by his drunken father in attempt to protect him, her last words being a helpless cry for him to flee. Before Sam was next, he ran and never looked back, and he never returned. Sam then lived on the streets for weeks, wandering the streets aimlessly, with nowhere to go, and having to quickly learn how to survive, until by either a stroke of luck or twist of fate, Sam was found by a young man, who just so happened to be the uncle his mother had told him about, and was currently in town with his traveling music troupe.
After learning who he was and his story, he quickly took in the tattered boy and adopted him as a part of his family. It took time, but he eventually opened up to him and the rest of the troupe, and later displayed his skills as a gifted pianist. But 6 years later his uncle, who had become like  the father he never had, suddenly disappeared one night without a trace, and was believed to be dead. Sam then took responsibility over his aunt, and newborn cousin Magdalena, having no time to mourn his uncle. But around the same time, a new member joined the troupe, a handsome violinist by the name of Gabriel Torres who was around Sam’s age. The two of them became fast friends, and eventually, their friendship developed into something more. The two kept their relationship a secret from others, as well as the rest of troupe, for several years.
But as time passed, Gabriel began to develop “unsavory” habits, and often would return home late after a long night of drinking, as well as gambling. But one day, after two years of giving everything and getting nothing back from Gabriel, Sam discovered that his boyfriend had been stealing from the troupe’s savings to fuel his gambling and drinking habits, and had been seeing someone else in the troupe behind his back. Before leaving to confront Gabriel, Sam promised a then 6 year old Maggie that he’d return that night, not knowing that that was the last time he’d see her.
When Sam eventually found Gabriel at a local tavern, where he then proceeded to expose him for his misdeeds in front of everyone there. But everything escalated, going from a heated argument to Gabriel attacking him in a drunken rage, and Sam suddenly remembering his drunken father and his mother’s screams... The next thing he knew, his knuckles were bloodied, with Gabriel lifeless and bloodied on the floor, and surrounded horrified tavern patrons. He remembered his promise to Maggie, but he knew he could never go back now, he couldn’t drag his family into his shame.
So, he ran, and made himself “disappear”.
Sam ultimately found himself back where he had started 12 years ago; on the streets, and doing what he had to survive, wandering the countryside. But after several months, he was caught stealing food and was then chased by law enforcement. Desperate to escape, he ran to a nearby clearing that had dark tents and chose the nearest one to hide from his pursuers…what followed was an agony he would never forget, and waking to find his body covered in dark “scars”.
It’s been over three decades, and since then he’s worked as a fortune teller, and now a repairman. But like his life before the circus, and many years after.
He will always be a prisoner.

Other/Fun Facts:

  • Is 6'2, 198 lbs.
  • MBTI: INFJ - The Advocate.
  • D.O.B. - January 10th - Capricorn
  • Is actually very strong and fit due to lifting heavy equipment for so many years for his job.
  • Grew out his beard recently because he was tired of being called a twink "baby face". 
  • Suffered from “fits” as a child, but became less and less frequent as he got older. However, he will have them whenever his psychic abilities are overloaded. This is why he was switched to being a repairman, because it was threatening his health while he was a fortune teller.
  • His tattoos are scarred into his skin and consist of tarot based imagery that take on the likenesses of  different people in his life (and also reflect his current relationship with them), they will also shift and change depending on his (or someone else’s emotions). 
  • He can sense and feel the emotions and feelings of others through skin contact (which helped him during his fortune telling years), so he wears gloves 90% of the time to help him control them better. Just recently stopped bandaging his arms.
  • Suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, Insomnia, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Clinical Depression.
  • He dons a deadpan expression 24/7, so he's fairly good at hiding how he feels. 
  • Knows up to 7 languages aside from Welsh and English from traveling so much; Hebrew, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, & Japanese, though not completely fluent, he is well versed enough in them [ Delilah is teaching him a few more ]. Also knows and is still learning a couple forms of sign language.
  • Is actually a very talented and intelligent individual; he's a skilled fencer and pianist, and knows how to repair and fix stage equipment and instruments (due to his time traveling with a music troupe some years before).
  • Is often found reading by the wishing well or under a tree with a bunch of crows
  • The scars on his face were the result of a past... disagreement with Lafayette. Though they've since made up and are now close friends, his scars are still a touchy subject, and will go silent or leave the room when asked about them. 
  • He speaks in a permanently sarcastic tone, and it often makes people wonder when he's being serious or being snarky.
  • Has made a few attempts on his life once before joining the circus, and a few times after joining during some of his lowest points, all of them failing. He is ashamed of this fact and the scars are hidden along with his tattoos. No one else knows and hasn't told anyone about it.
  • Is secretly ticklish. Don't try this or he'll cut you. 
  • Doesn't like to be reminded of his days as a performer, because hey remind him of what he failed to be. He will  rip up or destroy any old posters of himself. 
  • Has a few burns from trying to help people out of the burning tents from when the circus caught fire by the skull witches. They're mostly hidden though.
  • Often distances himself from his adopted younger sister Maggie. He's still too ashamed for what he did all those years ago that made her leave her and her mother, and doesn't know how to tell her.
  • After being turned into a Freak for 3 days, his ears have now become pointed. He's not very pleased with them and tries to hide them with his hair. They're also fairly sensitive.
