Name: Sam Merlotte
Age: 28 (Gave this a rough age, as I can't remember if Sam was ever given an exact age)
Brief History: Very little is known about the Texas native Sam Merlotte. He has kept most of his past a secret and never divulges much to anyone about it. He moved to Bon Temps 6 years ago with a large sum of money and a mindset to live a quiet normal life in the small town.
Sam bought a bar and named it after himself, Merlotte's and in the years that it's been open has become the place to be in Bon Temps. Sam has become one of there own and he is a beloved member of the community. One Bon Temp resident caught his eye, pretty blonde Sookie Stackhouse. Never having the courage to ask her out, he held a candle for her. Choosing to admire her from a distance.
Sam and Sookie grew close, but he still never worked up the courage to admit his feelings and he watched on the sidelines as she was swept up in a romance with Vampire newcomer Bill Compton. they still remain very good friends and colleagues.
Personality: Loyal and trustworthy to those he calls friends, though he can be over-protective and a little possessive. He means well and all he longs for is a quiet life in Bon Temps. Sam is easy going and friendly, though deeply mistrusts Vampires.
What do you have planned for this character? Go with the flow, see where life takes him. Maybe give him some well deserved happiness.
Have you read the books? Just up till Dead to the World.
Name three facts about your cannon 1. Can shapeshift into any animal he sees, but prefers the shape of a Collie dog.
2. Has a close bond/relationship with Sookie Stackhouse
3. Sam lives in a trailer next to his bar Merlotte's
Sample RP:
The little collie dog padded up happily to the steps of the large trailer that sat at the back of Merlotte's bar and grill. Tail wagging excitedly and letting out an enthusiastic bark. He whined and nodded his head to the side, his ears flopping about. Barking again, desperate for attention.
"Alright, Alright I'm coming!" the Texas drawl hollered out from inside the trailer. "Keep yer fur on, I'm comin" the door swung open and out came a man, clad in nothing but his skin. A huge grin on his face as he looked down at the collie, that was now bounding around in circles. "Aw didn't mean to keep you waiting so long buddy" he smiled as he jogged down the stairs to greet his canine friend. "Ready?" he asked patting the dog's head.
Woof!
"I'll take that as a yes" a mischevious smile spread across the man's face. He looked around quickly, making sure no-one was around. Sure it was 3am, but you never could tell these days. Satisfied that they were alone, he closed his eyes and concentrated. His body began to vibrate and within the blink of an eye the man had shifted his entire body to mimic that of the collie dog. Barking at each other they ran off into the woods on the outskirts of the Merlotte's parking lot.
