[hider=Sammy] [b]Name:[/b] Samantha Park [b]Nickname:[/b] Sammy [b]Age:[/b] 24 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Nationality:[/b] Her family hails from South Korea. [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://68.media.tumblr.com/6d142c45590c336d86409ac6990133db/tumblr_inline_nvxeu8fgc61rd3ktm_500.gif[/img] [img]http://68.media.tumblr.com/0a4bb8c66b547ce46b0c698f1af31932/tumblr_inline_nvxfu9rbRo1rd3ktm_500.gif[/img] (added a gif of her blinking. that's Ellen Wong, btw. I just recently rewatched Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Dark Matter and she was in both of those so when I was thinking about actors- hey presto) [b]In-Depth Personality:[/b] When you're an intelligent pretty girl from a privileged background, it's safe to say Samantha has lead a pretty good life up until a week ago. Some might say she's spoiled- and some may be correct. As a result she's a natural optimist and somewhat sheltered. For her, the troubles of the world have always been in some other place. Often trusting and assertive of her positivism, she's eager to make friends. It may even be a little off-putting to negative folk on how open she is. She isn't a hardened survivor in anyway. She's never been shot at or attacked. By luck she made it into a safety bunker before even encountering the virus. She's deeply worried for her family, but on the whole is pretty confident that everything will be alright. Her positive attitude is faltering however, as it's been a whole week and nothing but bad news has made it in through the radio. As a...well, regular human being, if she's attacked she'll run away. A life well lived does not prepare one for the end of the world. Sensitivity is the cost of her friendliness. [b]Character background:[/b] Her father's work moved her brother and mother to Canada when Samantha was an infant. Only her sibling Steven has memories of their homeland. Canada was her home- the people were welcoming and she was happy. There wasn't any of the negativity her father seemed to always be expecting- Samantha has adopted the behavior of optimism to counteract her father's ruthless pessimism. Despite being a good man, he somehow managed to make everything he accomplished seem worth jack squat. Poor Dad. Her parents made great money, her father an engineer and her mother an architect. (He often teased her of this, after all the "architect is just an engineer who failed first trimester." It was all in good jest, of course.) She made excellent grades. Her brother faltered a bit, but he settled on learning a trade- perhaps become an electrical engineer. Her friends joked of how she had a stereotypical Asian family- focused on school and grades. She didn't mind- and as it was high school she probably rebuttled with a friendly racist joke as well. Par for the course. Her parents could have paid for a whole college education for both her and Steven- but she had most of it paid for and Steven's trade school wasn't nearly as expensive. Indeed- Sammy's life was like the first part of a horror movie where everything is fine and dandy before the serial killer shows up and starts lopping off heads. Her brother found work and moved to New York from her town of Montreal a few days ago- and an old friend from high school wanted to reunite in downtown Toronto. In between jobs Samantha took on the offer- ready to have a fun time. She never made it. Before she knew it, news of the sickness was spreading and a nervous Samantha found her way into a bunker. She thought she'd be there for a few hours- she clearly didn't understand the gravity of the situation. Mind in a daze she has only realized a deep feeling of dread she masks behind her usual optimism. Her brother and parents must be fine- surely the government has this all under control. Right? [b]Equipment:[/b] A purse full of civilian items. Wallet, ID, money, house keys, car keys, smart phone, lipstick, chapstick, some sunglasses. Obviously all very useful in the end of the world. [b]Weapons:[/b] Other than a can of pepper spray her worry-wart mother convinced her to buy, nothing. If she finds something she'll pick it up- but Samantha was not packing heat when this all went down.
