Name: Samson Redder Gender: Male Age: 17 Hometown: San Francisco, CA Hobbies and Interests: Academics, cooking, card tricks Appearance: Samson is a fairly tall (5'11"), thin (160 lbs) boy. He has short, dark brown hair, which he tries to keep fairly neat. His eyes are a lighter brown. He is fairly seriously nearsighted, but wears corrective contact lenses most of the time, disliking how glasses draw attention to his face. Samson's face is broader than typical for his build, making him look slightly awkward. His nose in particular stands out, being rather wide. He does not particularly like his appearance, so he tends to wear hats to draw attention away from his actual face. He tends towards "retro" hats, especially trilbies, which he feels have more class than baseball caps. Samson's weight is a function of his quick metabolism, not any sort of exercise program or concern for fitness. He is overall quite weak and rather sickly, preferring to spend his time inside behind a book or computer screen than walking around or working out. He is, as a result, fairly pale, something which makes him stand out among his classmates. This is especially notable due to his Northern European ancestry and complexion. Samson's posture is also fairly poor; he tends to stoop somewhat unless he pays attention to his movements. He has fairly clear complexion on the whole, though he gets minor acne outbreaks occasionally. Samson dresses causally, but not sloppily. On the day of his abduction, he was wearing khaki pants, a white polo shirt, and a black trilby hat. Biography: Samson was born into an upper middle class family in San Francisco, California. His parents, both highly-educated professionals, took an early interest in seeing him placed in the best learning environment possible. He went to a private preschool, and his academic career was the center of his life from that point on. Luckily, Samson had the intelligence and persistence to keep up with it. He consistently received good grades, actually skipping his second year of middle school. Samson made many friends in his childhood, all fellow "gifted" children. He has kept in contact with many of them, hoping to network and use them to advance his future career opportunities. Despite this, he is not mercenary in nature; he holds genuine affection for his friends, and hopes to be able to help them in turn. He also maintains a fairly good relationship with his parents and his two younger siblings (both sisters). Though the elder is only two years younger than Samson, he still serves as a sort of mentor to both of them, as his academic aptitude exceeds theirs. Samson does not have a particularly broad field of hobbies, but those he does have, he embraces with great passion. One of his favorite pastimes is cooking. He has taken several cooking and catering classes in high school, and regularly helps prepare meals for his family. He has no aspirations towards a career as a chef, though; while he is good, he lacks the talent to reach the higher echelons of the art, and he feels that the best use of his time is to pick the career in which he can advance the furthest. Currently, he thinks that a career in science will be most advantageous. He has been accepted to a highly-rated college's physics program, as soon as he finishes his current year of high school. He hopes to eventually land a government research position, and perhaps work to revitalize the non-military scientific community. He is a very quick thinker, easily able to work out logical solutions to problems. He is also very quick and coordinated overall; he could have been an acceptable dancer had he ever taken an interest in it and built up his stamina. The one area in which his dexterity comes into play is card tricks. Samson originally was interested in playing cards because of their applications when it comes to math and probability, but discovered that shuffling a deck was a good way to keep his hands moving while he studied. He quickly graduated to forcing hands, stacking decks, and overall adept sleight of hand. Again, he is not interested in becoming a magician, lacking skill in any other areas of magic, but his cards are a good tool for entertaining friends. Samson eschews the beach and the outdoor activities offered by his home city. He gets sick easily, which has been one of the few challenging aspects of school for him. Only his intelligence has prevented him from falling far behind. He has never been interested in SOTF: Arena, or any TV programming, for that matter, preferring literature for entertainment, with the occasional foray into video games. While he knows of the program, he does not visit the forums or discuss it with his friends. As a result, he has next to no idea what he is in for. He was most likely selected for the show due to his status as one of the top achievers at his elite private school. He's quick, smart, and totally physically inept aside from dexterity and balance, a potentially entertaining combination. Personally, Samson is very friendly, always smiling and willing to engage in conversation. He's willing to joke around, and is cool with being on the receiving end of humor and pranks, so long as they are not mean-spirited. When he does get upset, he tends to quickly disengage and find space to cool off; he feels that an uncontrolled temper is a severe hindrance and will not do if he's to have any sort of influential future. STATS Strength: 1 Skill: 10 Stamina: 1 Speed: 8 --- DESIGNATED PLBL (Light Blue Player) Designated Weapon: Whip Conclusions: Really? The team pulled this guy for his brains? Ugh. Well, if he's really as quick and coordinated with that whip as this says he can be, maybe he can pull of, say, one win. But I don't see Samson as much more than cannon fodder past that.
