Personality
Samson was born to a single working mother who often had to leave him in the care of his uncle. The man was... less than good with Samson but hid it well from his mother. Never wanting to put extra strain on his mother, Samson never complained no matter what his uncle put him through. Instead he found his outlets in sport. At first it was just running and swimming; he didn't really know how to socialise with others and so team sports were daunting. In highschool he started to try out team sports so he didn't have to go home so early, he enjoyed hockey and basketball but he didn't have the height advantage in basketball so he leant towards hockey. Eventually he discovered Exy and honestly fell in love with how far it let him push his body. It was a pain he was in control of, if he was good enough at defence then an offenders body slamming into his own would not cause him too much injury but would make the sting of ache last in a way that made him feel alive.
Samson is a polite young man and often doesn't come across as the kind of person who would choose a sport with violence involved. He's likely to be the last one to give a viewpoint and even then it'll be a logical one rather than an opinion of sorts. He tries his best to stay kind, understanding that like him people probably have a lot going on behind the scenes that they don't want people to know about or judge... but sometimes he just doesn't get people and it shows in his conversations or misunderstandings of people's words.
Likes
Books
Fiction or non-fiction. Samson enjoys spending his time learning about the world around him as well as vanishing into the imaginations of others.
Exercise
While he doesn't get on with people all that easily, he slots into a team well and makes himself useful in any game that can give him the thrill of a good strain on his body. Exy has a good energy and he enjoys pushing his body to be as agile as possible to prevent as many scores as possible. His only solo sport that he adores is swimming.
Girls
They are often gentler and quieter than the guys that surrounded Samson in his life and he found them to be a peaceful place.
Drawing
He's not very good at it, like at all, but he has yet to give up on his doodles and his sketch books.
Dislikes
Parties and crowds
Why does 'fun' have to include a hell of a lot of noise so he cannot talk to those who are in his company without getting sensory overload or yelling himself hoarse?
Meat
Samson is a vegetarian but not because he thinks it's cruel - mostly because he literally cannot stomach red meats and he once had chicken that put him off for life. Still, he does adore cheese so he couldn't be a vegan.
Being called 'pretty'
'Pretty boy' followed him throughout school and led to a few awkward to traumatising experiences he doesn't want to acknowledge or talk about but generally deals with rather well day to day.

Favourite Food
Cheese
Pretty much any type too. As a meat replacement, yes please. As a sauce, fuck yes. Chunks straight of the block, he'll eat it as a snack with no qualms.

Trivia
- Most people who know him actually call him 'Sammy'.
- Despite his quiet demeanor in most aspects of his life, there is an intensity that one will always see in his eyes when he is on the court. As though there is a fire within him that gets lit as soon as he stands in front of someone and is charge of defense to take pressure of their goalie.
- He has a scar on his right hip from an accident when he was still a child where he decided to try and give skateboarding a go.
- Sammy is almost always clean shaven; if he is not it will indicate one of two things: he was up late with books and woke up too late to shave, or he spent a night away from his own dorm room... if you know what I mean. "I may be demisexual but I still have urges... don't be judgemental."
