SKILLS:
{ Psychology }
Sam has a diploma in Psychology, and uses his knowledge to gain exceptional results for the facilities owner. He's always been fascinated by the human mind, hence his decision to facilitate his own personal human puzzle. His interest and almost addiction in this field has allowed him to become extremely good at using his knowledge to his advantage. He also has some unique knowledge in the field due to the almost non-existent ethical restrictions that are normally placed on other scientists in his field. Sam understands people extremely well, and his acknowledgment that the Anomalies are in fact human allows him to understand and use them to the best of his ability.
{ Torture }
Through the facilities training he has also learnt the skill of torture. He has four years of experience in this field. He particularly loves the medieval techniques, though rarely gets to use these due to their debilitating results. Sam has a sick fascination for the way humans deal with pain and the way the body is knit together. Using a balanced mix of both psychological and physical torture he has become one of the those with the highest status in this field. Human pain has always been a curiosity to Sam and he indulges in playing with the limits of those beneath him.
{ Strength }
In order to be the best he possibly can be at his job, Sam uses a strict fitness routine. He uses it for the sense of peace and purpose it gives him, for a possible need of combat and also because of the evidence supporting it's help in mental strength. He has an incredibly strong upper body, and his endurance ranks fairly high even amongst the guards.
PERSONALITY:
{ Past Personality }
Sam was somewhat simliar to how he is now, however far less of a split personality. He was more moderate in his rather distasteful interest in psychology and pain. He was more like his home life as described below and even his more sadistic side was tamed down and hadn't fully developed. He was also more aware of the danger of delving in too far into his unwholesome interests, or at least not revealing that they fascinated him.
{ Present Personality }
Sam is a strange character. He almost has two personalities. To the world he's a friendly, gentle guy, if not a little reserved. He's cheery, has a good sense of humour and enjoys late nights out with his friends. He's a brilliant listener and often becomes a counsellor for those he is close to. He's known for his trustworthy nature and also known as a good keeper of secrets. More than one wonder at what his job really entails as he is very smooth at avoiding talking about specifics.
At the facility however he is downright sadistic. He enjoys playing with the anomalies minds and loves the satisfaction of breaking another. Deep down he's a little concerned about his own lack of concern for these people, however with enough logic and reasoning he's convinced himself that it's necessary. He believes strongly that in order for some to enjoy life, others must suffer. It's luck of the draw. As a result he's not one to go for revenge nor does he hold grudges. He accepts whatever his lot is in life, which he expects others to do also. He's always calculating and enjoys a sense of status when he's at the facility. Power is something he has become accustomed to and he loves wielding it. While mostly he can justify the various experimentation going on in the facility, it's taken him a lot longer to become accustomed to the idea of simply using them for fun. He's always wanted to have a few to have a little fun with for his own amusement, however there never seemed to be a good enough reason to overstep that boundary. However he's gradually stepped closer and closer to his moral line and finally he's managed to step over it with the explanation that they were to be killed anyway, so technically he is offering them life.

{ Weaknesses }
1. Arrogance
Sam is completely proud of his achievements and status. Once he has finished analysing a situation, he normally assumes that things will go to plan. Since he has always been a high achiever he is unaccustomed to failure and will not deal with it very well.
2. Organisation
While it seems like a strength, Sam is meticulous to a fault. Everything must be in order, and he has a particular quirk in regards to having everything even and in patterns. In the rather messy job at the facility sometimes it can bother him as things do not always remain scheduled.
{ Fears }
1. Making a mistake- It's not that he merely dislikes errors, but in his situation some mistakes could cost him his life and a lot of pain. Working with Anomalies with deadly abilities has not been easy and he's watched many colleagues fall due to unforeseen flaws in their plans. He's not a fool, he's acutely aware of human error and has no delusion about his fallibility.
2. To some extent Sam does fear the Anomalies he's testing. He's not really concerned with them at the moment, however it is more the fear that someday they may gain the upper hand. While he would have to accept it as a twist of fate, it won't mean he'll like it any more. Considering the damage he's done to them both on an institutional and personal level he's certain they won't kill him quickly- he wouldn't if the roles were reversed.
3. His work life becoming known- At the moment he lives a very tidy lifestyle. Spend time at work feeding the less socially accepted side of himself and then return home to normality. If ever his work life leaked to his personal life it would completely destroy all his relationships and the simple lifestyle he's attained.
APPEARANCE:
His most distinguishable features are his piercing blue eyes. They are a dark cobalt, and seem to stare through most people. His dark black hair is dead straight and is long enough to reach the top of his eyes. It sticks up around the sides and never seems to sit the same way. He has a narrow face with quite delicate features and his skin is quite an unhealthy pallor as it rarely sees the sun. Sam's upper arms are heavily muscled and his trunk is well defined. For clothing he prefers the neutral black and whites, though on special occasions wears blue to match his eyes. He's very fond of turned up collars and smart casual dress. When he's busy at the facility however he normally has shirts with the sleeves ripped off in order to avoid ruining nice shirts but also to remain intimidatingly well dressed.
{ Defining Features }
He has a few thin scars on his hands from incidents where he's nicked his hands with his
{ Weight }
80kg
{ Build }
On the slight side, but with well-defined muscular tone.
THOUGHTS ON OTHERS:
{ Damion & Ember }
He's been working with these two now for many years. He's particularly had fun toying with Ember's emotions playing the sincere, confident psychologist for her for her first two years. When he watched the relationship between her and Damion forming further possibilities of use for the pair came up. He spent his time patiently waiting for a sign that he could break her trust and use the couple for his own devices. Once Ember killed her first victim he had his opportunity. His plans particularly grew watching Damion reveal the true nature of his abilities to remain with her, and it was then he realised how easily he could make them obey him. He has taken particular pride in breaking the pair of them and completely twisting their personalities. It couldn't have worked out better from his perspective; to have them both renounce everything of their former selves resulting in their own kind hating them for it. He's a little frustrated that for his plans to work the pair have to be reunited, however he's sure that he can overcome the initial joy with his future plans.
{ Whispers & Delirium }
Of all the pairs, these two are the ones that simultaneously frustrate and cause him to thrive on the challenge of beating them. From the get-go both had separately continued to be an irritation to his otherwise perfect reign at the facility. At first he was certain he could break Whispers by causing him to destroy his sister. To both his fascination and annoyance it did no such thing. After watching Ember and Damion, Sam made one of his few large errors; he put the pair together hoping to create a new weakness. The plan failed rather miserably and infuriated Sam no end. The pair became a united force against him and refused to let him use their new friendship as a weakness. The two were not supposed to be part of his experiment as the facility deemed them far too valuable simply for his amusement. However with a new update in creating Anomalies, both of their powers have been replicated and therefore there was no need to keep the rebels alive. Therefore Sam bought them both thinking it would perhaps result in an entertaining bloodbath with the dark ones due to their less then desirable last encounter.
{ Pair Two }
Sam hates these two. They bore him. Due to their co-operation Sam has been unable to gain any fun from them at all, beside in the usual experimentation. As a result he's mostly left them in the hands of the white coats lest he lose his temper and cause them to be less compliant. Once both were up for execution due to their usefulness expiring Sam finally had the opportunity to pay them back for failing to entertain him. The nature of his puzzle will result in them having to do something, as compliance will no longer result in safety. Either they choose his wrath or their fellow anomalies- as long as it ends on blood, Sam isn't particularly bothered by which.
HISTORY:
After receiving his diploma, Sam got a job at as an assistant psychologist within the facility, mainly in the less secure areas in animal testing. Within a year he showed much promise and gradually he worked his way into the behavioural department with the Anomalies themselves. The next three years he gradually learnt the best way to gain information and to remove the fight from most Anomalies. He was then promoted and now holds the highest field job within the department. Technically the owner was considering putting him in charge of the department, but seeing Sam's skill in the field the promotion has not come. While Sam would enjoy having the high status position, not getting the job is life so he accepts it without complaint. After working for so long at the facility he's currently taken long service leave and is using it to create his own human puzzle.
