7. What is your character's strengths and weaknesses?
Martial Arts - trained in martial arts, he can disarm and disable any one of any size in a number of different ways, some more painful then others, some resulting in broken bones.
Intimidation - if his muscled look doesnt scare people, his fearlessness does. He's what those in the mafia would call Muscle.
Biking - his Motorbike is his life, for the most part. He is an excellant rider - able to maintain control at high speeds. There is a reason he's gotten away with out getting a ticket.
Women - if he has a soft spot, its for women. The more beautiful they are, the better chance they have at getting in his pants and club.
Fearlessness - He isnt scared of anything, which has occasionally got him in over his head. Numbers can overpower muscle. So can knives. He has a few scars to prove it.
Motorbike - threatening to damage his motorbike is the quickest way to get to the hospital. Damaging his bike is the quickest way to the grave. Want to comment on how nice it is? You've got his ear even if he should be doing something else.

Quirks and Habits worthy of mention

Personal History
Sam was born in the suburbs to a well-off family. He began to train with Martial Arts at the age of 5 and it was something he stuck with his entire life. He went to school, but really only enjoyed Woodworking and History. As he grew older, he began to fiddle around with electronics and would help his dad work on the American Muscle Car his father had always wanted, part of the reason he knows so much about the inner workings of machines of all sorts.
The summer between 8th and 9th grade, his mother died in a car accident, waking him up from his dreamy little world. He had never had to contemplate or deal with Death before, all of his grandparents were healthy and still alive. Loosing his mother struck home and hard. The more he thought about death, the more he began to fear it. What happens when you die? Do you just stop existing? Do you know you're dead? Millions of questions popped into his head about Death, but he doesnt want to find out the answers the hard way.
He sought consolation, and found it with Jenny freshman year of high school. She had been a family friend for a long time, but after his mothers death she was the only real female connection in his life. Unsuprisingly, once the hormones started to kick in, he found himself falling in love with her. He was more then happy when she agreed to start dating him, and they lasted all through high school. Sam thought they would get married, but his hopes were dashed as was his heart when he suprised her over vacation by showing up to her house early one day, only to find her in bed with another guy. He was furious, and would have beat the other guy to death if she hadnt thrown herself between them. He hasnt dated since then - at least not in a serious relationship.
School couldnt go by fast enough for him. History and learning about battles was the only thing that kept him in school, along with his mathmatics skills. He naturally played Football, his size and build making him a potent Middle Line Baker. He was a star on the varisty High School team, and played through college. He had other plans though, and didnt want to play professionally.
He turned his attention to women in college, but after Jenny broke his heart he never dated any for more then a month and had more then his share of one night stands. He loved them and loved being with them. He also fell in love with beer. He started working at a club as a Security Guard and Bouncer and has stuck with it ever since then. It allows him to hit people as hard as he hit them in college football and some, all legal. It also allows him to check out scantily clad women and take home some of the more willing ones after hours.
Jenny damaged him in more then one way. He turned all his attention to his martial arts, wanting to perfect them and become Champion of the Tournament. He consumed himself in the Martial Arts world, and after lots of training he entered the Tournament and became Champion. Undefeated. Fearless. He knows no one can best him, though should he lose he wouldnt know what to do with himself as he would have failed in attaining his ultimate goal.
He graduated from Nachton University with a degree in Physical Fitness Training and a minor in Mathematics. His last two years of college, he lived off campus in an apartment he shared with a room mate. Since graduating, he has moved closer to the City center into a two-room apartment that is completely his. He currently works as a Bouncer and Security guard at Club Eternity.
