@BlessedWrath I'm sure in peoples posts it'll be clear enough which Sam they mean, in universe though it might be fun, so I don't mind them having the same name
@Tergonaut so some feedback on your feedback, first off thanks for the feedback haha. So in order, first I'll work on expanding personality, what could set him off, how that works.

Next, the sister. Honestly I didn't put much thought in to her, but the idea was kind of his dads half of the family has the phoenix blood, and the mom has something else, and that's what his sister got. I know I'd never play her because really I can only handle 1 character in an RP at a time, I meant to open it up to someone else being able to play her and pick what her deal is but forgot to mention it. If no one wants to take her I'll either think of something for her or just get rid of her.

You've got it right on why he's going to the lodge, he may want to pretend he's not a big deal but he's more powerful than he realizes. Before making his decision he nearly had an incident while working, so that's why he needs time away from the world for a bit.

Finally, I think I'll be changing his eyes to orange to indicate the phoenix bloodline, maybe something else but I can't think of anything right now.

Also, just read the first post, nice work by the way, just making sure, are we all going to be arriving on a bus? If so do you think the bus could stay at the lodge? Because now I have an image of Sam driving the bus but no one knows he's a lodge resident until he gets off and starts unpacking like the rest of them haha
The only thing Sam found on TV that he felt like watching was one of the Harry Potter movies, but that was fine with him. For some reason he felt the urge to listen to the message Felicity had left him again. He did and something about it seemed...off. He couldn't pinpoint it exactly, and he couldn't explain why he felt that way, he just felt like something about the call was weird.

He didn't have much time to think about it as he heard the knock at his door, must be them. Sam got up and opened the door, "hey Felicity, hey Michael. I've got a movie on the TV right now, how about you go sit down, I'll be there in a sec." It was strange talking to Michael, partly because he was taller than Sam by a few inches when so few people were, and partly because he had to remember Michael was a lot more like a kid than an adult. "I have someone over, she's sleeping, so just try not to wake her," he was off and he turned to Felicity. Before she could say anything about a girl sleeping on his couch he explained, "possible new roommate, she was really tired and just kind of crashed." He hoped that didn't sound too weird, it was the truth after all.

The reason he sent Michael off first was because he wanted to talk to Felicity, but now that she was here he wasn't sure what to say. "So, you're off to do....something," the spot on his neck started tingling again. Why was it happening again? "Just, be careful out there," he wasn't sure why he was saying this, but something inside him was telling him he should, to make it sound less weird he added, "you know, it's a big city, weird things happen all the time, so just don't get in to too much trouble."
@BubblegumQueen
@BlessedWrath your character goes by Sam too? That won't get confusing for them :P
Name: Samuel Deniel
Species: Human, mostly. There is some phoenix blood in his family granting his powers
Age: 22
Gender: Male

Personality: Sam is a very reserved person, though that has come with years of training himself to be that way. Naturally Sam is a very passionate person, not afraid to let someone know what he thinks or to jump in to action should he be needed. Some of this still leaks through, and sometimes he loses control of himself and can't help but allow his emotions to burst through. When he is in control he is very warm towards others, kind, caring, and compassionate.

Appearance: Sam is 6'2" and weighs 280lbs. but the height helps make it look like he weighs less. He has glasses and short cut brown hair with blue eyes. He is very pasty white and is normally clean shaven. Can often be found wearing jeans and a green hoodie. When it gets too hot for that he'll switch to cargo shorts and a comfortable t-shirt with some kind of nerdy design on it.

Powers: (these are super powers - be creative, but balanced. As the RP progresses, you may gain more powers depending on the storyline and happenstance, so leave room to grow. Put N/A if you have no super powers, skills or racial abilities)Sam has the ability of pyrokinesis. Normally he can summon fire and manipulate it, or cause an object within his sight to burst in to flames. When he gets emotional he will often times burst in to flames and may float a few inches above the ground. The intensity and heat of his flames increases with his emotions but it also becomes harder to control. He also cannot be burned due to the nature of his powers.

Strengths: Sam has a pretty good memory and he's also fairly good at math. He also has some fighting skills from when he took tae-kwon-do as a kid, though he stopped a few years back

Weaknesses: Water, and especially rain weakens his powers. Also sending him in to an emotional rage, while dangerous, will yield him unable to control himself and he will exhaust his ability to fight within a few minutes

Background: Sam lived his life like a normal person for the most part, though he was home schooled until high school. This was his parents' decision to make sure he was able to control his emotions so he didn't have an incident in the school. He was born with his powers, the blessing of the phoenix they called it, he thought of it more like a curse. His sister doesn't have the powers of the phoenix, she has something else she has to deal with. Sam never applied himself in school so he didn't make it in to a university, so instead he just works as a bus driver, and that's fine with him.
Misc. Notes: (anything important to the character that should be known, but for whatever reason doesn't fit into any other category)

Just posting this before I go to work, I may add in a bit more, but this is basically it
"Ya, sure, don't worry about it," he said to Quinn as they walked out to the living room, it seemed like she was maybe about to say something before but decided against it. She flopped down on the couch and Sam sat off to the side, "you know, I have a pretty open mind if you wanted to say something before." He wasn't sure if she heard him though, he was pretty sure she was out as soon as her head hit the throw pillows he had. Sam pulled out his phone and saw he missed a call, must have been just a few minutes ago when he was giving the house tour. He went to his voicemail and found it was Felicity from across the hall, she wanted him to watch her brother. Sam met Michael once before, he forgot exactly what condition he had, but it basically meant when Felicity said he was literally a 4 year old in a 19 year old's body she meant literally.

He was a little hesitant to say with with Quinn there, but he supposed she'd have to be okay with the neighbours if she was to live there, so Sam called Felicity back. She seemed to pick up the phone pretty quickly, but Sam just chalked that up to she probably just happened to be doing something with it when he called. "Hey Felicity, it's Sam. I'm fine to watch Mikey for a few hours, just bring him over whenever, does he like video games?" Whatever the answer, Sam would finish the call with, "okay, cool, I'll see you in a bit, bye." He put the phone down and looked at Quinn, still sleeping, "hope you're okay with a bit of noise, but you're pretty knocked out, I bet you can't even hear me, can you?" He chuckled and switched on the TV, trying to find something good while he waited for Felicity to come drop of Michael.
@BubblegumQueen@t2wave
I will most likely be getting a post up tonight, sorry to those waiting on me. @BubblegumQueen I'm guessing the brother has some sort of disability? Because that's the only reason I can think a 19 year old would need to be looked after. Just making sure I have it straight for my post
"Ah yes, cost, probably should have put that on the flier," Sam chuckled as he did the math in his head real quick. "Between the two of us if you moved in it'd be about $1100 a month," he told her, "slightly less actually, but you know, rounding makes the math easier." He noticed her nearly falling and was a bit worried at her sleep comment, "you wanna take a nap? It'd let you see if the bed is to your liking or if we'll have to get a new one in here." Before she could say something about feeling bad for keeping him he added, "I have the next few days off work, so I'm not going anywhere. I've had sleep issues in the past, and you're right about the point where it doesn't matter what the issue is, you're sleeping whether you want to or not."

The incident happened to Sam a few months ago, after a long day at work he'd had what was essentially a seizure and ended up with a weird bug bite looking thing on his shoulder. After that he hadn't slept for a few days, he'd had to call in to work, if he drove in that state he was scared he might fall asleep at the wheel. Stupid voice, he didn't know if it was a god or an alien or what, but he never wanted this. Now he was in some kind of competition with who knew how many other people, supposedly to the death. Well he wasn't having it, Sam would not kill anyone, he'd move to Alaska and be a hermit if he had to. Bringing himself back to the moment at hand he said, "also, the doors have locks, you know, in case you're scared I'm some kind of weirdo." He chuckled, but she had no clue what type of weirdo he was, some kind of freak with superpowers who was supposed to kill a bunch of people. Great, perfect roommate material.
@t2wave
I may post again tonight, I just have to figure out what a reasonable price for rent is, I live with my mom so I wouldn't know
Sam had been expecting his possible new roommate so he was quickly up and opening the door when he heard the knock. "Hey there, uh...don't tell me, I promised myself my one job was to remember your name," he snapped his fingers a few times before coming to, "Quinn, right, sorry about that. Anyways, come in, let me show you around." He stepped away from the door more in to the front foyer, which wasn't much but it served its purpose. It had a closet for jackets and some mats opposite it to put your shoes when you came in. "I prefer no shoes in the house, I know some people wear theirs all the time, don't know if you do." They walked through a doorway on the right, except their was no door, Sam always wondered what you call a doorway with no door. At any rate he continued with the tour, "so here's the dining room, kitchen is next room over, living room is down those stairs." Saying the living room was down stairs was a bit of a stretch, it was a ledge with one step before the floor so it wasn't uncomfortable. It had an L shaped couch and a 50" TV with some game systems hooked up to it.

He lead Quinn back through the foyer and down the left hallway. The first door they came to on the right Sam said, "this would be your room if you moved in, as you can see there's already a bed, and the dresser is empty for your clothes." They continued on to the end of the hall where it was a bit busy with room. "On the left here we've got the bathroom, only one so we'd have to share, in front of us is my room, and this door on the right is a closet, it's where I keep the vacuum and some other cleaning things." He turned back to Quinn and smiled, "so, you like the place?" He hoped she did, he'd been meaning to rent out the other room for a while and now that he was less able to work extra shifts he could barely keep up payments. He scratched at a spot on his left shoulder blade, it was bugging him which was strange, it normally never bugged him unless he was using his new ability. He tried to keep it covered at all times with a hoodie, he wasn't sure what he'd do when the weather got too warm for that, he'd have to cross that bridge when he got to it.
