Name: Sam "Sammy" Portman
Age: 15
Birthday: 8/27
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Class: Freshman (High School)
Appearance Description:
Species Abilities:
None. She's human bruh. Normal as can be...
Powers:
It's not really a power but just something she can do. She can stay intensely focused on what she's working on. Over the years as she studied to get further along in her grades, she's kind of had to develop a sort of focus so she wouldn't be distracted by the sights and sounds around her. Her past had originally made her sensitive and jumpy, but she was determined not to let it get to her after a while...A lot of things still get to her though and make her lose focus. Extremely loud and sudden sounds for example.
Biography:
Originally, the mother and father were living somewhere off the islands. Somewhere in the western continents. When the mother got pregnant with Sammy, the parents wanted to look for someplace safer for the family. Where they lived wasn't exactly very good. They found out about Manta Carlos through a family friend that belonged to a family of mages, and decided that maybe it'd be at least a little better than their current home. They moved in to one of the cheaper houses because of their limited finances and started their family there. Sam was born on Manta Carlos a few months after moving in.
At five years of age, Sam was living happily with her parents. They were just normal humans in Manta Carlos, not too special like a lot of the other citizens were. But she didn't mind in the slightest. She was a kid of course, but she was happy.
One day though, a sort of outbreak of crime occurred in their family's neighborhood. The police had trouble keeping up with the gang of criminals wreaking havoc, and some of the people in said gang had destroyed houses. Luckily they didn't kill anybody, but their aim seemed more to scare people than to hurt them physically.
Either way, some of those criminals got into Sammy's house one night. Those people immediately went towards her room, since that was the one closest to the front of the house. They grabbed her in her sleep (waking her up), and started threatening her with a gun and a few sharp objects. They weren't planning to hurt her, but they acted like they were. Putting the gun to her head, the knife to her throat, etc. Poor Sam, who didn't know any better, was scared to death. She kept squirming and screaming and yelling for help. It got to the point where a knife accidentally nicked her on the face.
Sam's parents came in yelling and screaming, with her father carrying a bat and her mother carrying a large pan. They swung the objects at the criminals but missed. They had already run off into the night, breaking Sam's room door off its hinges.
Her parents tried to comfort Sammy and to heal the cut on her face, but she was sobbing uncontrollably and screaming whenever her parents came near her. Even though they had turned on the light and sat a distance away from her so she could calm down, Sammy still wouldn't allow them to touch her. They stayed with poor Sam throughout the night, but she was already traumatized for life at that point.
The police had eventually identified the group as a bunch of misfit college students who had weapon and flame powers. They arrested all of them, including the ones who had hurt Sammy. The ones who hurt her ended up being three students who had minor/weak weapon summoning powers, one of them having long sharp claws. The other two had horns and fangs. All of them had a history with police for threatening stores and violence. Sammy eventually found out who they were when she got older.
Now Sammy is 15 years old, and she is still traumatized when people that don't seem human come near her. It's not a racist thing of course, she's just scared to death. Over time, she had grown completely silent, preferring to keep to herself and study. It's kind of how she was able to get to high school so quickly because she would rarely talk to anyone that would distract her. If she did, it was through a dry-erase board she kept with her or it was through ASL which she learned over the years of studying. Sammy rarely finds anyone who speaks through ASL though.
Additional Information: Sammy LOVES to read. She also loves to do some painting in her free time. Something that usually takes up a lot of her focus other than studying for school.
