[b][color=00a99d]Personal Style:[/color][/b] 
Sam's personal style is casual and comfortable. He likes to wear fairly plain button ups and pants to work, sometimes wearing a low key pattern if he feels like it. Outside of work, you would probably find him wearing anything from a t-shirt with jeans to a flannel...with jeans. He doesn't have a flashy style at all; he's pretty simple and plain. As far as his hair goes, he tries to keep it trimmed at a decent length so that he doesn't look too "scrappy" but will usually just comb it back if it's getting too long. He'll either shave off all of his facial hair, or keep it neat and trimmed. Sam cares more about comfort than impressing people, but does keep himself presentable and professional looking for work.

[hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=00a99d][center]Psychology[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[i][color=00a99d][center]Well-Mannered * Bottles up emotions * Charming * Moody[/center][/color][/i]

[b][color=00a99d]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Heterosexual
[b][color=00a99d]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single/Divorced
[b][color=00a99d]Personality:[/color][/b] 
Sam's got that "southern charm" thing going for him. He's a true gentleman: polite, respectful, inviting, and charming. It might seem fake to some, but it's just who Sam is, who he was raised to be. His mother taught him to always open the door for others, to be accepting of all people, and if he was feeling judgmental, to see things from another's perspective. It was this sort of molding that turned him into the man he is today. He has a big heart and will do just about anything for anyone yet sometimes it's hard to "connect" with him. There's so many emotions swimming inside him all the time yet he never seemed to learn how to express them properly. His father left when he was young, so Sam had to step up and take care of his younger siblings while his mother worked. He never had time to feel sad or sorry for himself so he always put on a happy front. [i]'Everything is fine.'[/i] Words he would constantly say and think to himself when everything was absolutely not fine. Sam is guilty as charged of bottling up his feelings, so much so to the point where if he's stressed, there's a possibility that he might get snappy. Still, Sam tries his hardest to stay positive even when it's hard.

[hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=00a99d][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3]
[b][color=00a99d]What Brings You to Dunder Mifflin:[/color][/b] "I moved to Newcastle 4 and a half years ago with my wife, well, she was my wife. Anyway, I was working at a bank in Memphis before this and then Lydia got a job offer at a law firm in Philly. We couldn't really afford to live in Philly at the time but there was a job opening here at Dunder Mifflin for an accountant so we settled, er, decided this was the best place to be for now. Well back then it was 'for now.' I guess it could still be 'for now,' but why would I look somewhere else when I'm perfectly happy here...? Yeah, uh, anyway that's my background story."

[b][color=00a99d]Life Up To This Point:[/color][/b] 
"I'm from Tennessee if you couldn't tell already. I grew up just outside of Memphis up until I was ten, then we officially moved into the city. That was after my dad died, yeah. We were in a real bad car accident one night coming back from a camping trip in Northern Georgia. I just got this nasty scar on my arm, my dad, well, he didn't make it. I don't really remember much of the actual wreck but I do remember waking up and kinda just [i]knowing[/i] my old man didn't make it. It's not like I blame myself or anything, well...I guess I did for a while, but I moved past it. Shit happens, you know? At least I still had the rest of my family, and my dad wouldn't have wanted me to wallow in misery. He woulda flicked my ear and told me to 'get over it.' So after that it was just me, my mom, and my little brother and sister. Basically I had to be the 'man' of the family since my dad was gone. I still played sports and did my schoolwork and stuff, but I didn't have time for anything else, really. I was taking care of those two little shits most of the time but hey, they turned out real good and part of that has to do with me. So that's cool, right? At least we ain't junkies or criminals. 

"So I was able to get into college with a scholarship playing basketball. I got my accounting degree, I know, boring, but I'm really good with numbers so I thought it was a good idea. I met Sylvia when I was a senior and she was a sophomore. Despite how I feel about her now she was real cute back then. I think we got married too quick, you know? Things moved too fast, she wasn't even graduated by the time I proposed. What can I say, we were young and in love. So things weren't too bad for a while. She went to law school and got a job offer out in Philly. I'm a pretty optimistic person so I went with her in hopes that it would be a good experience. Unfortunately it was not. I won't get too into the details but Sylvia apparently wasn't too happy so she...found happiness somewhere else. Our divorce was finalized last year, so I'm on my own right now. No kids, unless you count my cat, Benjamin. Here I have a picture in my wallet..."

⚜ Respects ~*~ ☯ Neutral ~*~ ☮ Friends ~*~ ♫ Best Friends ~*~ § Tense ~*~ ♥ Crush ~*~ ⚤ Significant Other ~*~ ☠ Enemies
[/center][center]
☯ [color=gray][b]AIDAN FERGUSON[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"Aidan hired me, so I can't really say anything bad about him. He's a decent guy, I'd have to say. Would I invite him out for a drink? Maybe. If it was a work thing."[/i]

Sam has never had an issue with Aidan or his way of management. To be quite honest, Sam isn't really sure if Aidan gives a rats ass about him. He's basically just another employee that does the job he was hired to do and doesn't cause any problems with the office, so Aidan probably doesn't [i]need[/i] to care about Sam. They have a fairly neutral relationship.

☯ [color=gray][b]EDUARD DAUTRIVE[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"That Ed, he's a big guy. Real scary at first, reminds me of my football coach in high school. He's alright, though."[/i]

They greet each other and sometimes chat about work or comics. Sam wouldn't consider himself a huge comic book fan, but he loved them when he was a kid. In general, their relationship is strictly work related most of time but he doesn't have a problem with Ed.

☯ [color=gray][b]DECLAN FARRADAY[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"Sales guy who likes to argue? Yeah, he's not that bad. "[/i]

Sam doesn't mind Declan because he never has to talk to Declan. Not that he wouldn't like him, but Sam has no huge opinion on him. 

☮ [color=gray][b]GWEN WESTBROOK[/b][/color] ☮
[i]"Girl's got good taste in novels."[/i]

Gwen and Sam haven't talked much since she first started working at Dunder Mifflin. They only bonded because of a mutual love for science fiction and ever since then Sam has considered her a good friend to have in the office. They don't talk much, but he thinks she's an interesting girl.

☯ [color=gray][b]EUGENE HAN[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"The quiet Korean woman who pretends she doesn't speak English? She ain't bad, she just doesn't really want to talk to anyone. I can understand that."[/i]


☯ [color=gray][b]CHRIS MEYER[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"Man's got a lousy rep for being lousy, but I think he's alright. Might do better with a little less pranks, though. "[/i]

Another person in sales that Sam hardly speaks to. But from their conversations, he thinks Chris is okay. Just another coworker. 

 § [color=gray][b]NANA DARLING[/b][/color]  §
[i]"I don't have much to say about Nana because I have never actually had a conversation with her. I don't know what I could have done to cause it, but that woman hates me. Maybe I give off a bad vibe..."[/i]

Sam and Nana had a rough start. She caught him on one of his bad days, and Sam managed to traumatize the poor woman by snapping at her when she had a simple question for him. Ever since then she's avoided him, causing Sam to believe she hates him. If only he could figure out why? 

☯ [color=gray][b]TEMPERANCE VENABLE[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"She's the new girl. Looking forward to meeting her. "[/i]

Sam has not met temperance yet, but hopes she's a decent enough person that he'll be able to sit next to her every day. 

☮ [color=gray][b]GERALD FISCHER[/b][/color] ☮
[i]"Man, he's the most positive guy I've ever met in my life! I never mind working with him. "[/i]

Sam admires Gerald's positive outlook on life and thinks he's great at his job as well. It's easy to talk to him most of the time, so Sam enjoys working next to him. 

☯ [color=gray][b]MOE WILLIAMSON[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"That ex-mafia lookin' guy? Eh, we don't really talk too often. "[/i]

Sam feels entirely neutral toward moe. Although he thinks the man looks like he used to be a drug kingpin, Sam has actually never bothered to ask what he used to do. 

♥ [color=gray][b]ROSE PETERS[/b][/color] ♥
[i]"Oh, yeah, I'm pretty good friends with her. We sit down for lunch a lot together...uh, she's a great girl. "[/i]

Sam was still married to Sylvia when Rose started to work at Dunder Mifflin, yet she still managed to get under his skin after their very first meeting. They became fairly good friends with Sam always looking forward to seeing her and finding himself to be in a better mood around her at work than at home with Sylvia. Somehow he the two clicked and it made him feel comfortable and at ease to be in her presence. She made him [i]happy[/i]. Yet he still refrained from following through with his feelings even after the end of his marriage. Sam couldn't quite put into words how Rose made him feel so he tried not to seem to obvious about it. He enjoyed having her as a friend and considering the fact that she was still in a relationship, at least most of the time, Sam preferred not to embarrass himself by asking her out. As of right now, Sam tries not to think about her too much but it's getting harder for him to keep it inside. 

☯ [color=gray][b]ALASTAIR ABBEY[/b][/color] ☯
[i]"Oh, Abbey's a good fellow. He's another Gerry!"[/i]

Sam thinks Alastair is on the same level of happiness as Gerald. He's only spoken to the salesman a handful of times, but has always him quite pleasant and friendly. 

☮ [color=gray][b]EMILY KESSLER[/b][/color] ☮
[i]"Cool gal. She's got this thing about my 'southern accent' but I honestly don't get what the deal is. "[/i]

Emily and Sam are fairly friendly with each other. She's easy to be around, doesn't really expect much of him. He feels pretty comfortable when Emily is around and is absolutely ticked that she finds his accent so amusing.
