personality evaluated.
Sam would describe himself in three words: wacky, unique, simple. Wacky would be the first because he loves to have fun. His type of fun is the strange type of fun like he used to have back in Atlanta. He would pull pranks on anyone he could or go out on his skateboard with his girlfriend trying to see who could make the highest jump. Highlights of his night were having ice cream eating competitions and attempting to get thrown out of Wal-mart. Now he still loves to have fun but it’s mostly video games in his trailer or making up dirty jokes. Sam still gets those strange ideas from time to time but really has no one to do them with.

Unique is another word. He likes to believe that he steps to the beat of his own drum and takes pride in not caring what other people think about him. He doesn’t care if he goes out in black on brown or blue on blue as long as he’s comfortable. So what if people don ‘t believe professional dog walking shouldn’t be a sport or that he supports gay marriage. Unpopular opinions are the definition of Sampson Ray Straight.

Lastly, in his words, are simple. Growing up in a small town he knows how to work hard for what he gets. He understands the peace and quiet is something to be valued and that you don’t need all the flashy new gadgets popping up on the market. He has assistants but he’d much rather get his coffee himself. He’s down to earth and takes everything as a blessing.

Other people would describe him as responsible, religious, but guarded. He has to be responsible because everything has fallen on his shoulders so quickly. Sam not only has an acting career to worry about but he also has a daughter that he takes care of. Sure she has nannies and day care and babysitters while he’s busy but when he comes home at night she has to be her number one priority.

Religion is the biggest aspect of Sam’s life. He is a devout Catholic and lives his life as such. He prays the rosary once a day and goes to confession once a month. Sam always makes an effort to go to church every week but sometimes his schedule does not allow. His strong faith has helped shape him into the kind hearted soul he is today.

But even kind souls can’t be kind all the time. They may be on the outside but on the inside he has trust issues and judgement issues. His faith says he needs to love his neighbors and try to find the good in people and really, Sam tries but he is still human. At first meeting he is quiet and tries to keep his personal life to himself. Within the first handshake he takes a person in and usually develops an opinion right off the bat. It can be changed and he can trust you but it takes a while, he’s stubborn. But he has to be – he has a lot riding on this career and a little girl to take care of. He can’t be too careful.

history evaluated.
Sampson Ray Straight was born in Atlanta, Georgia to Simon and Helena Straight in 1992. He was an only child and grew up under the watchful eye of old lady soap fans everywhere. His first baby pictures were featured in Soap Opera Digest because his mother was the “princess of daytime”. A year later though his parents got divorced and he stayed in Atlanta while his mother high tailed it to New York permanently.

He grew up as a normal child: skateboarding, football, church. Sam loved music and learned how to play the piano at five, voice at six and by eight had solos in church choir. He also took up the guitar and drums at ten years old. Music was his first passion and he dreamed of being famous someday. Sam didn’t know it would actually happen.

By the age of twelve Sam had his first girlfriend, Caitlin. They were two peas in a pod and did everything together. She was into skateboarding with him and never objected to playing tackle football. Caitlin even helped him with his song writing. Even at such a young age they knew it was love.

The couple stayed together even in high school and as freshman Caitlin convinced him to go out for the Fall play. Sam had honestly never thought about being part of the drama department but was hooked from the start. He didn’t get a major role in that play but in the spring musical Sam was granted the lead as only a freshman.

Besides school performances Sam wanted more. His father who had access to a studio helped him to record a demo but Sam was told that this didn’t mean anything could happen. Lucky, for him they did. His father’s friend who was a producer heard his voice and wanted to sign him to an up and coming label, he was only 14. Sam agreed and got to work.

It was a difficult process because it was almost as if they were producing themselves but they hit all the bases. They started Sam a Myspace, a Youtube channel, and did local concerts. With a year like that Sam finally got the notice he needed and moved to a better known label called Firestone. Sam worked for a whole six months before finally releasing his debut album.

The feedback was incredible. Teenage girls swooned over Sampson Ray as he went by and his shows got bigger and bigger. He was flown all over the country for photoshoots, talk shows and concerts. The work got so time consuming that by sixteen he had to be homeschooled.

One night Sam got a swirl of news at once. From one angle he got word that his mother was getting remarried to the man she cheated on his father with. Then, he was told that he was moving to Los Angeles in a year and last – he discovered the his girlfriend was pregnant. The world was all falling on his shoulders.

A year passed and his daughter Regina was born. It was time for Sam to leave and he had to leave Caitlin and Regina behind. The two tried to stay together long distance but finally decided it was time to end things. Sam did still keep in touch to know how Regina was growing up and sent money monthly. When he had a free moment he traveled back down to Atlanta to see his daughter.

At 18 Sam released his second album and also plunged into the acting business that he’d left behind. It started with small cameo roles then roles with one line and after seven months he auditioned for a pilot role.

The pilot never took off but he’s still on the prowl for more major acting roles and is desperate to be respected as an actor as well as a musician. This year, his daughter Regina made the move to Los Angeles to live with him. Caitlin is attending fashion school in town but has not been allowed custody due to rumors of drug use. There is no word if there will be a formal court case for visiting rights but as of now Caitlin is not in the picture at all.

roleplay sample.

tonight was going to be stressful. why on earth had she invited seth to come over? because she missed him - because she wanted to tell him herself about hayden. it would suck coming from someone else. jade limped around her house, biting her lip, telling herself that was all this was about. she was spending some time with a friend who just happened to be an ex and talk about what was going on in their lives. a catch up session. nothing more. it of course didn't help that jade was the only one home. her brother was out on the track in akron with one of his friends for the night and her parents were out on one of their special "date nights" they wouldn't be home until about one or two in the morning. oh yeah - no big deal.

jade was struggling getting around. her boot had come off yesterday and she was still getting used to walking around with all the extra weight and it was still a little stiff and sore. but that didn't matter: she had bigger issues. for the last few hours she'd been getting things all ready. jade cleaned most of the house, took a shower and threw her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head. at first she had sweats on but then decided on dressing in normal clothes. why she didn't know. jade was perfectly comfortable wearing comfy clothes around seth when they were dating but she just couldn't make herself do it now. the last place to get ready was her room. she threw dirty clothes into the hamper, set up her xbox, and made her queen sized bed. she heard a knock on the door and butterflies filled her stomach immediately. jade thought she was going to vomit. after one quick look around she noticed a few pictures of her and seth. she'd never taken them down because she liked looking at them. but with him in the house she couldn't. taking the few frames she picked them up and put them inside the closet. she'd pull them out when he went home.

"coming!" she yelled. as she moved to the front door she twirled the ring her parents gave her as an early valentines day gift. it was coming up. that thought made her twitch. she'd always expected spending the stupid holiday with seth. that wouldn't happen now that she had a new man on her hands. oh yeah, hayden. that topic. her original plan was to drop the h-bomb but as she put her hand on the knob she realized why bring it up unless completely necessary. she took in a deep breath, reminded herself not to mention them or missing him or getting back together no matter how much she knew in her heart she wanted to. this was for both their own goods and she couldn't hurt...you know who. finally she opened the door and there he was. seeing him made her want to cry. sure she'd seen him at school and they'd had short word conversations but she'd avoided spending too much one on one time with him. it was now or never. he looked so good. she really did miss him. jade looked down because she was probably staring. "hey dude, come on in."

she moved over so he could come in and then she closed the door. "i figured we could just chill in my room, cool?" jade didn't look at him but just walked in front of him towards the door to her bedroom. it was clear on her face she was anxious but the night would get easier. nothing should have really changed between them except for their status.
