Samuel

In A Few Words… Born small town, Sammie will always be small town. There is a great comfort he is in the familiar, which isn't to say he has any fear of the unknown but simply a disinterest in having to go out of his way to find that which is truly new to him. Complacent would be a better word. He knows exactly where he wants to be, has a good idea where he is going, or hopes to go. It involves Haven Point, it involves being close to his family, it most likely involves a family of his own. Unlike others though, there is no rush for the latter. He enjoys going to school, he enjoys what little time he has to do for himself as he likes. Once his sisters graduate or find their place, he might consider the 'settling' down a bit more, though his life is pretty settle as it is, taking it as it comes. Overview Cover Reputation General Samuel is the oldest sibling of the Bates Family (Sol & Lucile). An average kid all around, he was known in high school to play sport, even while never truly a star Athlete. Capable of playing football certainly, the size of the town a benefit to him playing. At any larger school he could of risked simply not making the cut. But he is a good teammate and a loyal friend. Not always playful, certainly not one to joke much, slightly more serious than his fellow students at times, he took responsibility to help his parents and help his sisters, the triplets. He's spent time at the family business, the Firehouse Grill, and at his studies. Currently he's a Junior in College. Description A swirl of dark hair tops the head of this young man. Its slightly disheveled in the way that it is done on purpose to make up for lack of a comb. No more than the length of a figner on top, the sides are even shorter and are only sticking up by virtue of the thickness of his hair and how short they are. No product either to have it unkempt as it is, bordering on parting to his left side, most likely finger brushed in that direction. Eyebrows are thick but kept well, closely set over his green to blue eyes giving them a warm welcome in his gaze. A slight bend at his nose, perhaps broken at one point, but not out of place adds to the chisel of his features. Rugged jaw, a sharp angle forward under his ears, not quite square, ending in a slightly rounded chin. He is athletic of appearance, works out, but not going for massive muscles so much as to stay in shape it would seem. He favors black t-shirts and blue jeans, clean if not faded. Comfortable in that they've been worn more than not able to afford to keep up newer clothes. As if he grabbed that soft, well washed shirt, and those folded jeans to just toss on, right before his hand pushed his hair about to look nearly combed. History What Happened to Your Nose : During high school, Samuel was at a cabin part up at the lake, a few drinks in he was accused of trying to move in on his friend Joe's girl, to which Sam called the kid stupid. A fight ensued. Apparently Joe's girl, Danae, favored a few boys, or didn't mind any favoring her. Sam suggested he had argued with Joe, who took a few weeks vacation from Football one season after Coach caught the boy drinking in/around school. It just boiled over that night. Present day, Danae married and moved out of town, one or two over only, Joe still pines for the girl and may be having an affair with her (she maybe having more than one affair). RP Hooks Firehouse Grill Bartender Family business, he sees to the bar on most nights along with other help, stays to close up on nights he's there, even if he's not scheduled too. If you're out for grill and some drinks, or just a few drinks during the big games, he'll most likely be around. Bates Family Protective Brother Since a young boy, he's tried to help his parents care for the triplets. Days when they were young, a third pair of hands was helpful. They've grown up, but he still wants what is best for them, and will do what he can to look out for their interests. College Student Currently a junior at the university, he's a mixed array of classes that could be shared, as much as he could simply see/know from around campus. It might bolster the local population during regular spring and fall semester, but its still small city feel through and through. Small City Local He's a local, the entertainment outside of bar/tavern/movie is things he's experienced enough. He's settled into the regular things to do, like hang out with friends, go up to the reservoir or creek, enjoys camping, enjoy bonfires with friends, or just hang out, and enjoy what some would see as the 'quieter' life. Relationships Cover Family Element Image Lucile Bates Mother She sees I try to hard, wants me to have fun, experience life. I can't mother, family matters to me. Element Image Sol Bates Father A good man, dedicated to family, hope to make him proud. Marty Sister Delightfully expressive, glad she has found her creative outlet and the wonderful insights she provides to me. Meadowlark Sister A wonderful sister, as all of them are, perhaps a better understanding with her wants compared to the entire family. As far as that goes, I'm 'Stuck on You.' Friendly Amelia Sister's BFF Been out of the city a while on vacation, but back in town now.  Good to see her around again.  Had a chance to speak alone with her, better still, duckface and all. Claudia Friendly, Elliot's sister From what Elliot sort of says, not one of us, but knows. Good friend to Amelia, funny and easy to talk to. No …. No leather pants please. Ellie Smart, friendly We hadn't talked much before, but of late, we've sort of had this running into each other thing. A great person, very smart, I think she tries not to play that up. May have an interest in this Greg fellow. Elliot Local, friend Apart, hadn't hung out with him much before. Like me, enjoys writing, but pursuing his interest in college. He's finding out for himself that he's one of us. Evie Lost Pining for New York maybe, looking to let loose I imagine, sort of defensive when trying to be friendly. We'll see if she shows up for lunch at the Firehouse. Talked more at Rosalindas, a better understanding, realizing friendly is to be friendly, not a creep maybe. Known Belle Familiar Face Known to hang around some of the girls about my sister's age, sister to Rhys. Seen her in school, she never looked my way, always around some other boy that I didn't much care for it seemed. Greg New Acquaintaince Student that is sort of becoming local, I didn't run into him much during his undergrad years, but as he's heading into grad school, seems he's making his way more out of the bar scene and into regular town life. Been to the Firehouse a few times now, may have a thing for Ellie. Inspirations and Misc Cover Playlist Quotes “The ache for home lives in all of us. The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” Maya Angelou “I guess what scares me the most now is the thought that I won't be able to protect you.” Julia Hoban "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." Mahatma Gandhi "Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength."
