[h2]Personality[/h2][/center][/b][/u]
[center]
Samuel is a cocky, wise-cracking show off who has a bad habit of telling tall tales about himself. Stories ranging from killing an elephant-sized bear to how he survived a great flying tentacled monster with just his wit and some improvisation. He loves being the center of attention, and enjoys light teasing and humor to his colleagues. He's well known for his lust for adventure and thrill-seeking.

[h2]Appearance[/h2][/center][/b][/u]
Sam stands at 6'0", moderately tanned, and built well enough. His eyes are brown. He usually wears his 'cowboy/rancher' get-up of a hat, light-brown leather jacket, matching pants, and a white shirt. He has dark brown hair, a bit messy, with some stubble he keeps around the chin. He's got a few scars along his face, with his stories for them change every now and then. His default expression is a sly smirk.

[h2]Background:[/h2][/center][/b][/u]
[center]
Samuel Hails from the island of Merrison, a moderately sized land within the Izma Taiva; infamous for its 'dry spell'. It rarely rains in that region, leaving most of the place a dry prairie. The land is mostly used for cattle farming, though several small towns have cropped up here and there around what few bodies of water and small forests exist in the region. Samuel grew up on a ranch, herding cows and hunting the local wildlife near his farm. To this day he swears he took down a bear the size of an elephant. Regardless of his stories, anyone from his hometown that knew him can attest to his marksmanship skills. In addition to hunting animals, by the time he was a late teenager he was known for shooting or scaring off thieves. While he was complacent with his life at home, inspired from the stories at the local town when he was a child, Samuel was inspired with a sense of adventure and thrill. This early developed curiosity for the world outside and its adventure was what lead him to leave and put his marksmanship to good use. At age 20 he had joined up on the Fornacis, 5 years before they broke apart. In the later he had made himself a name as a bounty hunter across several islands, and has made quiet a few enemies as a result.

[h2]Skills and Equipment[/h2][/center][/b][/u]
Samuel has an uncanny talent of being a good shot with just about any ranged weapon, provided he's had a chance to test out its range and accuracy first. From handheld weaponry to mounted cannons on the ship, Sam is reliable when a good aim is needed. As a hunter he knows well enough about cooking to prepare his own meals, but by no means is he a professional chef. 

Ol' Faithful: A lever action rifles with a revolver chamber, holds up to six shots and meant for long range.

Trusty Seven: A seven chambered revolver, considered to be his 'lucky side arm', with some engravings on it meant to help its 'luck'. Plenty of stories around it, primary used for medium range combat. 

Bear-killer: A double barrel shotgun used for close-ranged combat.

Weed-trimmer: A standard Machete used for general purposes, though also a last resort weapon if he ever runs out of ammo.

Waterskin: Water is an important resource and Samuel always make sure he has his filled whenever he goes out.

Jerky: For his personal rations he prepares his own dried meat, willing to share a few over long journeys when needed.
