Sam Merlotte
			OOC Name: Alex Email: bookworm1987@gmail.com AIM: ShifterSam or moonsdreaming CDJ: immortalaussie Personal: pansexual ABOUT Appearance Standing at 180cm Sam is of average weight and build for his height and has a slightly toned look about him. With his strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes he has a handsome sexy look about him that cause many woman to call him hot. He mostly wears jeans and a t-shirt and has a comfortable relaxed air about him. Personality Outwardly Sam is a friendly guy who holds a lot of secrets. Always willing to talk to people he can carry on a conversation with pretty much anyone- but he won't tell details about himself. No matter what the circumstances are. Sam has the personality that makes everyone like him no matter what and he puts it to good use. He will talk to people and befriend them and slowly gain their confidence as he knows that it might come in handy at a later point but he never says anything about himself to them. While at first people find this annoying they seem to grow to accept it over time. Growing up he had a bit of a rough childhood after being adopted and then abandoned by his adoptive parents at a young age after his ability to shape-shift manifested itself. Because it is this that made them abandon him he has learnt to keep secrets scared he will be discriminated against by non-shifters- even if there are plenty of other shifter's around who accept him for who and what he is. This secretive side of his personality has spread to his whole life and everything to do with it. Perhaps because if he mentions his childhood he'd have to explain all of it but he has just grown used to not speaking about himself to anyone. Very few people know what he truly is and those that do are generally accepting of him some don't but they are usually against shifter's in general. Despite his secretive nature, Sam is a loyal person who wouldn't betray his friends (even if he isn't entirely honest with them)as he values people liking him for who he is too much. He always makes sure they are safe and happy putting them before himself all the time.

As his mother and father were natural shifters he and his siblings were ones too. His childhood was happy one who enjoyed his life with his parents. They grew up learning and embracing their inheritance and ability. Despite their supernatural family they learnt how to be 'normal' as well as the other Supernatural races. He was an active child who enjoyed running around and spending time with his friends and family- though he had to keep his ability a secret from a lot of them. He didn't mind that though, he was happy spending time with them and they didn't guess he was hiding anything. When he turned eighteen he joined the Army much to the displeasure of his family who wanted him to go to college but he ended up quitting after four years. That year his father died and he set up a bar called Merlotte's after moving to Caligland with the money he inherited from his father- a place he had heard of in rumours but didn't know existed until that year. Here he doesn't need to be as secretive as shifter's are common as well as other Supernatural species but it is ingrained into him so much that he can't help it. The bar serves anyone and everyone who comes by. He has made a good living from it and is comfortable in his life though he still yearns for some form of closeness he refuses to get that close to anyone. Random Facts If your character is not a native of Caligland, how did he/she find out about the country and arrive here? through which portal did he/she travel? He had heard legends of Caligland from his parents who were Shifter's too. He arrived through the portal in North America when he was 22. What are his/her goals in Caligland? To help the rebels (humans) or to support the royals (vampires and lycans)? Or perhaps an impartial observer? He's going to be an impartial observer at first. That might change as the game goes on. Will he/she be staying at court? If not, where? He'll be living at the back of his bar which he owns.
