[b]Personality:[/b] Having built up so many defenses against attempts at friendship, it is hard to tell what Samuel's true personality is when you first meet him. He will generally ignore people, choosing to retreat into his own little world. When he does try and interact, he usually comes off as weird, shifty, and over-controlling of the conversation. Coupled with his apparent lack of empathy and disregard for social norms, he lends himself to bullying. This has caused him to have a low self esteem, constantly seeing himself as a failure.

When someone does manage to truly get to know him, Samuel is seen in an entirely different light. He is an extremely generous person, willing to give of himself without second thought of reward. When someone else is in pain, it is almost instinctual to try and assist them in some way. He also has a great imagination, and is knowledgeable about a vast assortment of things, although not all may be useful to the current situation. He also can be slightly obsessed with them, and will unwittingly beat the undead horse back to death again when they are on his mind.

[b]Biography:[/b] With his parents being military contractors, Samuel moved to Japan at an early age with his family. They lived off base, and he would attend a Japanese school, as his parents wanted him to experience another culture other than just an American one. Every day his parents would go off to work, and he would go off to school. This routine continued through his entire life, and he ended up spending very little time with his parents. He loved them, but he simply did not see them enough to bring about a close relationship.

Using the money supplied to them from the Government, his family sent him to Fujimi Academy in the hopes that he would get an exemplary education. What they did not prepare for was for him to become estranged from the student body, and have his grades drop to barely passable levels. Rather than study or grow healthy habits for adulthood, Samuel chose to read, watch videos, and in general memorize vast amounts of knowledge that would prove absolutely useless in real life. He fell into a pattern, go to school, isolate himself into his own world, then go home and do the absolute minimum to maintain passable grades. Of course, this pattern would be shattered within the events of a single day.

[b]Relationships:[/b] Not interested. Don't even try.

[b]Other:[/b] He is fluent in both English and Japanese, although he does have a distinctly American accent, and shows no indication of following formality of any kind.

- partly obsessed with anime (although will not likely admit to it)
