He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite self goaded rumors of a life as a layabout, Sammy is most often found in functional clothes that show the stains and marks of adventure. Personality Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His boisterous laugh is often heard. He possesses a sharp and effusive wit and a nimble tongue. Whether this is employed to the detriment or to the support of those around him changes by the moment. His outlook on life and much that it entails is by all appearances rather light. Indeed, despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on Negaria. Nor does he seem to possess the drive to do so. He is unerringly devoted to the study of the arcane, though this rarely enters his conversations with non-mages. Abilities Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a child prodigy. Since the maturation of his innate talent he began to approach the arcane path from a different vantage, that of wizardry. This has made for a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts. He is first and foremost known as an evoker, with an affinity to explosive flame. History Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly blossomed. They proved especially burgeoning for such a young age, and at times detrimental. The dwarves among his adoptive family bespoke these detriments loudest of all, often through beards. Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation. Present Day Despite a childhood full of promise, as an adult Sammuel has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By popular account, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existence paid for by his and his uncle's adventure-gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. The veracity of this would be disputed by those who adventure with him. It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city (Mikona's Finest Playhouse).
