DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
His smile is usually the first thing people notice about him, that and the fact that it never seems to diminish for very long at all. He just oozes happiness from every pore.
CLOTHING STYLE
There are definitely no designer labels in his wardrobe but then that's only because he can't afford them. Sam likes to dress stylish but casual, no outlandish colours and nothing clashing either. He only has the two pair of shoes,

POSITIVE TRAITS
- He's always been pretty CONFIDENT since he was younger, but he still knows how to step back and share the spot light.
- OPTIMISTIC as they come, he never fails to see the positive in anything, because of this he's rarely upset for very long. He's a happy chappy.
- Samuel's a FRIENDLY person, always willing to chat to anybody about anything.
- He's always excelled in what he loves to do, he gets very PASSIONATE about his hobbies, which becomes all too obvious if you start a conversation about any of them with him.
- He's an incredibly SOCIAL person and he's usually always with somebody at his side or in constant contact with friends via his phone. He doesn't like being sat alone twiddling his thumbs, there's always something better to do.
NEGATIVE TRAITS
- He's nearly always DISTRACTED by something, which can get in the way of school work and leaves him interrupting people quite often.
- Sam can be pretty INDIFFERENT about things, he hates violence with a passion and so if it comes down to giving his opinion on somebody's debate he'll either say nothing or sit on the fence. He doesn't like to get involved in things that don't concern him directly.
- He's definitely quite STUBBORN, once Sam's made up his mind about doing something then he'll go ahead and do it. Luckily he has pretty good morals. This means that if he ever decides not to do something then there's no force in heaven or hell that can move him.
- He doesn't always realise when he's outstayed his welcome, or if he's particularly annoying somebody. So he's definitely a little bit OBLIVIOUS.
LIKES
- The OCEAN, everything from surfing to scuba diving.
- FAMILY is pretty important to him, especially his twin brother.
- HOLIDAYS , especially if they involve plenty of sunny clear skies and stretches of white sandy beaches. And palm trees. With coconuts. Ideal.
- Comedy shows, theatre, any LIVE PERFORMANCES he loves, it's the atmosphere more than whatever's on the stage.
- He loves a CHALLENGE, there's nothing more exciting to him than a challenge.
DISLIKES
- BAD ATTITUDES. They're pretty much the only thing that piss him off, especially if it's somebody he cares about on the receiving it.
- VIOLENCE, he doesn't really see any need in it.
- BOREDOM. There's nothing worse to him than sitting still and having nothing fun to do, he prefers to be active.
- He loves all other animals except DOGS, he won't be able to be comfortable if he can see one.
- Sam really doesn't like being SICK.. He'll avoid even his closest friends and family if they so much as come down with a cold.
STRENGTHS
- Sammy's always been quite EMPATHETIC, always there for anybody who looks like they need to get something off of their chest.
- He's ATHLETIC, sure he might not actually do sports but because of his active life style and his constant supply of energy it's rare that he's ever short of breath. He would be good at sports if he turned his mind to concentrating on one.
- He's a TECHNO-WHIZZ KID, give him anything that runs on electricity and he can figure out how it works and how to fix it if it's broken. When he was a kid he was obsessed with taking things apart and putting them back together again. He doesn't tend to flaunt this though.. He does have a habit of buying broken consoles on the internet, fixing them and selling them on for more. It's how he earns his pocket money.
WEAKNESSES
- Sam can be TRUSTING to a fault, he himself is generally a nice person and he expects the rest of the world to be as well.
- He's always willing to give somebody more than one chance, which makes him a little bit of a PUSHOVER really.
- Samuel can be pretty SENSITIVE sometimes, meaning that he can be hurt pretty damn easily. He bounces back quickly though.
FEARS
- Like most people in the world Samuel's terrified of BEING ALONE. Not that he'll freak out if he's alone in a room, but he does like the comfort of knowing there are people close by if he needs them. The reason he avoids confrontation so much stems from this fear, he tends to bite his tongue to keep everybody around him happy.
- He's afraid of CONFRONTATION, it leaves him shaking if somebody gets in his face. Embarrassingly it's his twin sister who fights most of his battles for him.
- He was attacked in the park when he was younger and as a result he has a pretty big fear of DOGS, the small ones are fine. It's any breed larger than a cocker spaniel that makes him twitchy.
BEST MEMORY
Discovering that he's an earth elemental.. It was inevitable that he would be an elemental, all of his siblings before him had been. It turned out that he was the only earth elemental out of all five kids though, giving him a closer connection with his father due to his dad's chosen career path.
WORST MEMORY
The day that he'd discovered his pet cat had eaten his lion fish, both had died. That made one pretty miserable day.
LONG-TERM GOAL
His father wants him to continue with his landscaping business, especially since it was discovered that he's an earth elemental However, Sammy wants to be famous. As an actor, a singer, a model, anything that means he'll be recognised. He's fifteen, he hasn't exactly given a massive amount of realistic thought to his future yet.

HISTORY
There's nothing that really makes this family stand out from any other, Lillian and Dean met, fell in love, got married and started their own family. They went on to have five in total, finishing with a set of non-identical twins; Alaina and Sammy. Sam just so happened to be the only male child in the entire brood. As he and his twin sister grew up their personalities became more and more different, Sam was a sensitive child, a lot softer and unable (more like unwilling) to stick up for himself. It always fell to one of his sisters to fight his battles for him despite Sam always protesting against that. Girls sticking up for him was just embarrassing as hell, though it seemed to work.
He grew up knowing that he was going to be an elemental, at the age of two the family discovered that Joyce was a water elemental and the entire story of their mother's schooling history came out to the family. Dean, their father, was understandably quite shocked but it wasn't information that could tear their family apart. If anything he hoped for one of the kids to become an Earth elemental, for just an average human he had a very green thumb, which helped with the landscaping business his grandaddy started years back.
Alaina discovered that she was wind elemental months before Sammy discovered his element, for a while he wondered whether he even had one. It was during the winter that it emerged, the first snows fell and his mother's orchid began to wilt, he saved it, and then napped for several hours. He and his sister started the Academy like the rest of the family had done.. Not so interesting~
Despite the mix of elements on their family they all get along, they have their arguments like everybody else but nothing earth shattering. They're quite big on family holidays and always have been, they manage to go abroad at least once a year, including their Auntie Rachel and their cousin, Paige. He and his father usually go off and do their own thing..
