WELCOME TO LOS EUROSIA,
SAMUEL DAVID COULSON
"Life's a climb."
BASICS
NAME: Sam Coulson
AGE: 15
BIRTHDATE: October 31st
PRONOUNS: He/Him
SEXUALITY: Unexplored; But Open-Minded
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: High School Student
NEIGHBORHOOD: East End
MEMBER GROUP: Gifted
POWERS: Mediumship and Astral ProjectionMEDIUMSHIP (Dominant)
Since he was little, Sam has seen what most people refer to as "Ghosts". Unlike most people, however, Sam isn't afraid of them in the least. In fact, he argues that he has more in common with those the dead than he does the living. Most spirits come to him, but he's also known for seeking out the more interesting members of the dead society. Unlike most mediums, he doesn't usually help them "go to the light". Instead preferring to learn from them and their stories. (to be added as he grows in power)
ASTRAL PROJECTION (New)
Is the superhuman ability that he's only recently developed. While it's mostly active when he's asleep, Sam has attempted this more dangerous ability in his waking hours as well. While in his astral form, Sam has limited physical contact with the world around him - with the exception of those who can see through his ability. Though it is possible to feel his presence or hear him if he's not careful enough. While this allows him a great amount of freedom to go and do as he pleases - it takes a heavy toll on his body. If he's away for too long, it's possible it could kill his physical body and leave him stranded on this other plane.
THE LOOKS
HEIGHT: 5'6"
WEIGHT: 120lbs
HAIR COLOR: Brown
EYE COLOR: Blue
FACE CLAIM: Oakes Fegley
OVERALL APPEARANCE: Sam stands out by looking a little young for his age. Not that it's a retractor, as Sam often sees it as a positive because it means most underestimate him despite his strength both mentally and physically. He's known for wearing clothes that are never "quite" the right fit, usually hand-me-downs or holdovers from other foster placements. While he keeps his most distinguishing feature hidden under as many layers as he can: the multiple lash scars, bruises, and other wounds sustained in his earlier childhood.

WEAKNESSES:
- Doesn't open up to new families easily: he's done this, he's been burnt, you have to really work with him.
- Actual POWER related-weakness is high frequency sounds. It seems to screw with his abilities and can actually cause him phsyical damage.
- Claustrophobic to extremes - thank his dad.
- Authority figures in uniform - they tend to scare him.
- Asthma
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
As long as he can remember, Sam has been "the weird kid". It comes with the territory when you've spent a lot of your life in the company of ghosts. He's always had a strong sense of history, and talked a little "older" than he is. As a result, despite being outwardly very friendly, most people are left scratching their head and most kids aren't sure "how" to interact sometimes. But it's OK, as far as Sam is considered he prefers "the dead" over the living at times anyway. Sometimes, however it leads to a rather lonely and often quiet existence, not that he really minds it. He's used to that by now.
That said, the friendly, energetic, and mature kid also hides behind walls. When it comes to new adults in his life, whether it's a teacher, foster parent, or the like it's usually a whole project to get him to open up. He's the kid who tells you what you want to hear, not what he really wants to say. And this always has an unhealthy way of coming back to bite him in the ass one way or another. Something he's "working on" or so his social worker says.
BACKGROUND
HOMETOWN: Los Angelas
FAMILY: Nico Coulson (Father), Natalie Coulson (Mother; Deceased)
PETS: Monty (German Shepherd; Deceased; Ghost) - A ghost dog that attached himself to Sam and he's formally "adopted" as his own.
HISTORY:
(CONTENT WARNING: Child Abuse)
When Sam was brought into the world, it was under the worst circumstances. His mother, Natalie, died in childbirth, while his dad, Nico, just flat-out didn't want to be a dad. He was in his early twenties, a slacker, and lived his life staring down the bottle of any alcohol. That said, he tried (and mostly failed) to be a parent to Sam, who quickly found his idea of "discipline" was to beat the ever-loving crap out of him. Things took a "turn-around" if you can call it that when his power to speak to the dead manifested. At first, Nico tried to beat the weirdness out of Sam until he realized he could exploit it.
Sam became known as "the amazing boy medium" and did plenty of seances for high-paying clientele. Not that he minded, as many of the ghosts he encountered in this time were nice and might even stick around to form relationships with. This abusive exploitation eventually hit a wall when a client discovered Nico had pulled him out of school for it, as well as the abuse. Sam was taken away, and from the age of seven began to bounce around multiple foster homes. Most kept him only a short time before the "spirit" stuff came out and they decided they wouldn't have any part of it.
Eventually, he was shuffled into Los Eurosia, California. And he's been there a couple of months now with, yet another, family that really just wants the money. Though Sam will never say it, with the discovery of astral projection, he's more sucked into the spirit world than ever. Convinced he's destined to spend his life alone with only the spirits as company anyway. Though the "Blackstorm" fliers have seemingly gotten his attention, as a youngin' he hasn't really thought too hard on it - not yet anyway.THE PLAYERNAME: Chris
