 c0debr8kr-samtwenty-four | male | player | knowledge | Samuel Pistol QuinnThe Character
DESCRIPTION:
Eye and Hair Color: Dull blue eyes that have seen brighter days and black hair
Height and Build: Five foot eleven inches and one-hundred fifty nine pounds. He's got broad, manly shoulders and square hips. The middle section could be a little fuller, but he's definitely not skin and bones. He's got some muscle tone to his chest and stomach but not enough to label him sexy like Brad Pitt. His arms have some definition as do his legs, but his signature feature would be that ass - full and round. His lack of body and facial hair is nice, but it gives him a bit of a teenager appearance. Nonetheless, he is an all around decent looking American boy.
Occupation: Independent Contractor in both the electronics and automotive industries
Location: Currently located in New York City
Brief Description: He's got a bit of a boring look going on. Jeans and a black shirt. Not much for originality. Usually sticks with the monochrome scheme, wearing only whites, grays, or blacks. Appears to have a collection of Converse shoes in his closet as well as a half or so dozen suits. Can't figure out how to tie a tie and yet he has at least twenty-four of them. Sports a pair of dogtags that belonged to his father and wears a bracelet his mother made for him around his right arm. Has a fascination toward leather jackets and boots. Currently owns one belt with an Avenger's "A" belt buckle.
PERSONALITY:
Sam's a rather odd individual. Those who don't know him would label him a loser. Probably even a nerd. He's always been rather smart but that trait runs in the family. Not really one to openly engage in conversation, Sam likes to spend his time in isolation. He's more of a loner than a people person or party goer.
By no means does Sam Quinn come across dominate or surly. He's usually quite the opposite. Shy and a bit timid, especially to those that don't know him. Not having a lot of friends (and those that he does have are usually elders), Sam, as stated earlier, really prefers to be on his own.
When out in public, he will behave as one would expect, opening doors for people and offering to help people carry heavy objects from the shelf to the car. Why, he even helps rack the leaves for his elderly friend Ms. Machts.
However, despite his chivalry, Sam lacks direction in his life. He has no desire to push himself or to even make a name for himself. Gifted with the brain of his father and the personality of his mother, a man such as himself should be CEO of a Fortune 500 company. It's a shame he has no interest whatsoever. Not only does he lack direction, but he also lacks discipline. After the death of both his parents, Sam became an adrenaline junkie. He charges into situations recklessly and irrationally. He's still a child in that sense and fails to grasp the difference between a true hero and vigilante.
Overall, despite having a depressing childhood (and being rather immature during his early adolescent years), he's shaped out to be a rather well-rounded man. He's not weighed down by sorrow anymore and actually copes with it very well. Granted, it's been over twelve years since the last of his world left him. Still, he's put his woes to the side and puts that emotion into his work.
HISTORY:
Youthful Years: Born an only child, Sam was graced with his parent's love as well as wealth. He was surrounded by family, always. His mother, Lillian Marie (Hedfield) Quinn, left her job as a politician's assistant so she could raise her baby boy herself, as she wanted to be his influence.
Allen Samuel Quinn, Samuel's father, was a military man turned CEO. Originally on route to being an agent for the CIA Office of Special Projects, Allen did a 180 and ended up developing a company with a friend. Forging a telecommunications company, together the two started a company that would product communication devices for servicemen.
With this job came long hours, but Allen always managed to find a way home to kiss his son goodnight. He also had to make sure he was able to work on a special gift for his son - he was building the boy a motorcycle of the finest caliber, as it was his personal belief that all men need a good bike.
Needless to say, from birth until the age of eight, Sam had a great life. He had his life handed to him on a silver platter but never exploited that. He was an all around sweet kid with a big heart. And then tragedy struck....
The Loss of a Father: The incident changed the household. Lillian forever wore the eyes of a broken widow and Sam's smile faded. Laughter was a sin within the house as tears were only allowed to enter the mind and air.
Allen lost is life in what appeared to be a freak accident. Unbeknown to all, someone had left a machine running. One spark started it all. A tragic, horrible fire that left seventeen hospitalized due to smoke inhalation and one dead. That one man died saving two others.
A large funeral was had, especially for Allen Quinn. He was given a slew of awards and his already wealthy wife and son were given even more dough that would never be touched. Rather than letting it collect dust, the family donated it to a Fire Fighter's Foundation.
Needless to say, it took about a few years for the two to finally cope with the reality of it all. During that first year, Sam's grades were on the decline. Counselors were hired and private tutors were bought. For the first year, Sam let his father's death get in his way. Then, one evening, one of his tutors asked, "Do you really think your father would want to see you fail?"
After hearing those words, Sam started to work toward recovering his grades. He was transferred to another school, a Catholic one, with the hopes that he could catch up and then some. However, that only lasted for about a year for tragedy hit the Quinn household again.
Having to Say Goodbye to Her: She died about seven months after being admitted to the hospital. Cancer had formed between her lung and heart, making it inoperable. Chemotherapy was attempted but failed as she grew weaker with each blast. Nothing could be done to save her life except for praying but that only prolonged suffering, which was actually quite cruel.
With her son's hands in her own, she made him promise that he wouldn't let her death affect him. Sam was to attempt college when he turned eighteen. Lillian begged him to find love and happiness, but she could see that, behind the tears in those brilliant blues eyes, happiness was no longer a word in his dictionary.
She passed away in the evening, leaving a very lonely and broken boy to live in a world without the two people that brought him into it. Forced to live with his mom's sister, he would soon make a series of bad decisions upon becoming a teenager.
Teenage Years: Between skipping school and starting fights, his Aunt Jillian was in for a rather bumpy three years. Sam's grades were fluctuating (depending on the class, he either had an A or an F) and his mood was unbearable. In a last ditch effort to save him from the life of a juvenile delinquent (she feared he would land there), Miss Hedfield removed him from his public school and forced him back into that Catholic school that shaped him up the first time. He was even given a psychiatrist who he was forced to report to on a daily basis.
Little by little, the anger started to vanish. His grades improved and his smile returned. Then he turned sixteen and he decided it was time for a change. Running away, though probably not the wisest move, did have its advantages. While he was trying to learn his place in life, he stumbled upon a man who had a very familiar face. It took him a few seconds but he soon realized the face; it was his father's old friend - Mr. Todd.
Learning about his parents was the greatest moment for him, he could see the light now and realized his immaturity. With the assistance of Mr. Todd, he returned to a grief-stricken aunt, promising to never leave her again (at least until he graduated college).
The two needed each other, in a sense. Both were broken and lonely and both missed Sam's parents. Why, even Mr. Todd decided to stick around to act as a fatherly figure in Sam's life. As one might expect, Mr. Todd and Jillian eventually fell for one another.
Graduating and Becoming a Man: Thankfully, all those horrid grades were not a part of his transcript (as it is only ninth through twelfth grade that makes the transcript and determines rank), which allowed Samuel Quinn to graduate at the top of his class. During those last four years of high school, Sam even enrolled in college-level classes taught by his teachers, which helped him move toward something greater.
Jillian hoped that Sam would attend Harvard but the boy had his sights set elsewhere. . He enrolled at RPI with the hopes of becoming a Mechanical Engineer. About a year into the program, he found it too boring and was able to flip into something more challenging - Computer Engineering, as he had always been excellent with regard to that matter.
His grades were decent. They would have been higher had he not decided to quit doing the homework or labs. Perfect test scores and the ability to answer everything correctly wasn't enough to earn him that 4.0 though. He needed to do the grunt work, which, according to the record, he said was "Pointless and a waste of my time."
At first, Sam's grades were decent (a solid B) but as the coursework increased and professors required students to do homework, Sam realized it was time for a change. Dropping out of RPI, he decided to start working at a local garage where he worked on motorcycles. He eventually found an IT job and began working there while doing weekends at the garage.
Two years later, he quit both jobs and decided to do his own independent work. He just does IT projects or fixes cars whenever someone pays him. So he pretty much did the same things as before, but he was in charge of making his own hours, rather than having a schedule given to him.
When that shiny new virtual world pod came out, Sam wasn't interested in it. And yet, he got one. Sure, it was new and the latest fad and it was right up his alley, but Sam hated to spend money on leisurely items. To his luck, though, his Aunt Jillian and Mr. Todd ended up buying it for him to "play with" as they knew he would never actually buy it.
Due to its origins, Sam was forced to mingle with someone outside his circle. However, the interaction wasn't as bad as he thought, especially when he discovered that his new friend was actually the child of someone that worked with his mother when she was in the political field.
Now having access to the Japanese server, Samuel Quinn decided to give the machine a shot. But before logging in, the lad decided it might be wise to learn some Japanese. After all, one cannot simply enter a game without knowing the language, culture, and background. Hiring a private tutor, Sam soon knows enough to get him started. And this is where the story begins...
