Challenges


Elevator Pitch

TBA!


Character questionnaire: Sam

Spoiler! :
Name: Sam
Age: 17
Height: 6'0
Eye colour: Green
Physical appearance: Pale skin, no blemishes. Green eyes. Wavy blondish/light brownish hair that seems to lightly curl in the perfect position without every getting mussed up. Pointed chin, pointy nose. Tall, average build, lean but not muscular. Almost has a mischievous glint to him.
Strange or unique physical attributes: Nothing really, unless extreme attractiveness is unique! lol
Favourite clothing style/outfit: White button down shirt, brown trousers. Sometimes a brown coat or vest on top of shirt.
Where does he/she live? What is it like there?: "Home" is in a cottage at the Organization, but his real home is England (time period right now is still up in the air, but 1800s-1900s vibes).
Pet peeves: When people call him Samuel
Hobbies/interests: Dancing and music. Partying. Eating good food and basking in the sun.
Insecurities: He calls himself adventurous but he's insecure about his true adventurous spirit because of how attached to home he is. He also has a fear that he's useless and weak and escapes his pain. No physical insecurities, this man is CONFIDENT
Quirks/eccentricities: Carries around a button.
Temperament: Almost always chill, good, silly. He can get wildly emotional, but it's not anger outbursts but sadness and self-loathing.
Negative traits: Sometimes... too confident. Too flirty (can lead people on).
Family (describe): Mom and Dad (violent, aggressive, drunk). No siblings. He left home when he was young, though, so he considers his current family his roommate Rishi, a fellow classmate and his best friend.
Other people's opinions of this character: They are either 1) in love with him, 2) wish to be him, 3) despise him because they wish to be him, or 4) despise him because their see right through his charisma and confidence to the side of him that can sometimes not consider other people
Favourite bands/songs/types of music: Loves music! Not really any bands or songs, but he likes anything you can dance to.
Favourite movies/TV shows/books: No movies or TV (not applicable to time period). Doesn't really read.
Favourite foods: Pesto panini. Herbal lemon tea. But, he loves all food
Dream holiday: Going on a hike somewhere? But he's also never seen snow, and he'd love a good snowball fight
Any pets? -- Nope.
Best thing that has ever happened to this character: Meeting Jane, Rishi, and Marian
Worst thing that has ever happened to this character: Childhood trauma
Three words to describe this character: charismatic, clueless (but also not! he's the type of guy who comes to class for a test without studying and aces it anyway), adventurous, determined (I cheated I'm sorry I did 4. Sam would give 4)
If a song played every time this character walked into a room, what song would it be? LOL good question. Might need to think on this. Maybe Enchanted by TSwift :)
