[b]Age:[/b] 26
[b]Sex:[/b] Male
[b]Race:[/b] Human

[b]Appearance:[/b] At 5'9" Shaolin Sam is in prime shape with an athletically fit body, tempered by martial arts, horseback riding, and farm work. He sports a cowboy westerner's digs with a brown duster and matching hat, blue denim jeans, leather hide belt, buttoned shirt, and red bandana. Every cowboy needs a pair of trusty boots, but for Sam, he chooses to rock a pair of futuristic high tops that allow him to jump high, and leap long distances. They're also shock absorbers, which makes it comfortable to stick a landing from very high drops. 

[b]Carried Weapons:[/b] [i]The Shapeshifter[/i] - A polymorphic weapon that can seamlessly transform into a laser pistol, laser rifle, laser machete blade, laser bladed spear, and a laser whip.  
[b]Worn Armor:[/b] He wears a lightweight chest armor under his duster. It's made of the same material as his futuristic boots and can absorb a great deal of punishment. 
[b]Miscellaneous Items:[/b] A brown wooden bead necklace that serves as a reminder of his days as a shaolin monk. 

[b]Supernatural/Superhuman Abilities:[/b] Sam is a durable fighter with a uniquely formless style. His shaolin martial arts is the foundation of his prowess. Combined with crafty marksmanship as a gunslinger, he is a slippery adversary at both long range and close quarter combat.

[b]History:[/b] Sam was a monk that grew up training among other Shaolin under Grandmaster Tan Zang, a centuries old instructor who achieved ultimate self awareness. He was a promising student of the trade that could almost perform telekinesis by honing his chi. As he was beginning to achieve great feats as a Shaolin, Sam started to wonder about his purpose in life. The training of mind and body, though selfless, felt wasteful as him and his brothers perfected their craft in secrecy from Aku's prying eyes. There was no denying the dangers that lurked beyond those temple walls, and he sought to use his skills to combat evil forces that preyed on the weak. He eventually stowed away on a train that took him into the western territories, where he was flung knee deep into the wild futuristic dystopia of the west. Sam served as a vigilante for justice, terrorizing bandits and saving countless people from harm. 

One of those fortunate souls was a scientist named Braxley, who saw great potential in Sam. The lab coat decided to assist the shaolin with an assortment of gadgetry like jump boots, durable chest armor, and a polymorphic weapon called The Shapeshifter. Braxley even went as far as hiring a dangerous bounty hunter named Zeke to help train Sam on how to use firearms like a true gunslinger. After he got the hang of firing pistols and rifles, Sam moved onto The Shapeshifter, training in a whole new style that combined martial arts and marksmanship. With new toys and fighting styles added to his arsenal, Sam took it upon himself to be an unofficial sheriff of the land. Yet despite his courageous efforts, the overwhelming corruption lead by Aku could not be thwarted. Dr. Braxley and his family were killed by Aku's forces, sending Sam on a path of vengeance.
