Profile

Sam Winchester was raised on the road by a father and a brother who were intent on avenging his mother by hunting the things that go bump in the night. He was shooting, looking up profiles on supernatural creatures, fighting and learning how to run credit card scams from a very young age. Bouncing from school to school he wanted little more than to live a normal life. When he was old enough, he applied to Stanford, got in, and settled in with thoughts of becoming a lawyer. But then his girlfriend died exactly as his mother did, his father went missing, and his brother dropped right off the grid. This drew him back on the hunt. His search for his family has brought him to New York City, and has placed him, inevitably, back into contact with everything he thought he could run away from.

Description

Click to expand.

An absolute moose of a man. Sam Winchester stands at 6'5" and has a build to match. Yet there's something unassuming about him all the same. Floppy, straight brown hair frames a broad friendly face. Warm, hazel eyes, high cheekbones, and a bit of stubble give the man's face plenty of character. There is something a trifle haunted about his features, but this quality translates into a sort of focused seriousness more than anything else.

He's dressed in jeans, construction boots, a plaid shirt and a drab olive green jacket.

History

Click to expand.

Sam was born in Lawrence, Kansas, the youngest of two brothers. His father was ex-military, his mother was an ex-Hunter. Both warriors had settled down to a peaceful life until the Demon with the Yellow Eyes (Azrael) showed up one night. He murdered Mary Winchester, set the house on fire, and shoved a bunch of blood down baby Sam's throat seconds before John grabbed the boy and threw him into his brother Dean's arms.

After that, it was a harsh life on the road with an often abusive or neglectful father who was bent primarily on revenge. Dean thrived on this lifestyle. Sam did not. Sam was smart enough to know what he was missing. Christmases. Stability. He wanted to go to the same school for more than a week or two. He didn't really enjoy the lonely, empty hotel rooms, or the very real threats on his young life that seemed to crop up every month or so. It didn't help that neither of the two role models in his life seemed to get him at all.

Eventually one good teacher asked some important questions, gave Sam some hope that he could choose his own path and be happy. He left at the age of 18 and went to go pursue a degree at Stanford. It went well. He got accepted into Stanford Law with a full-ride scholarship. He had a beautiful, loving girlfriend.

It all went straight to Hell after that--literally. Demons murdered his girlfriend, pinning her to the ceiling on his bed and setting her aflame. When he tried to reach out to his estranged brother and father for help, he discovered they were both missing, not confirmed dead, just apparently wiped right off the face of the map.

The life had found him, whether he wanted it to or not, and he was alone.

Thus, Sam began a cross-country trek to track them both down, one which has most recently led him straight to New York City.

Personality

Click to expand.

In many ways, Sam is a study in contrasts. He is a gentle, sensitive soul who pursues a brutal, dark calling. He is one of the good guys, but he's tainted and even tempted by dark forces. He's slow to anger, but his rage is a fierce, wild thing, brimming out of him in unexpected bursts of violence. He's a quintessential geek housed in a warrior's form. Everything about his life is serious, and yet he's got a sense of humor, even a mischievous streak. All of these conflicting, contrasting elements conspire to forge someone who is driven, determined, and possessed of a survivor's iron will.

Abilities

DEMON TOUCHED
When Sam was a baby, the Demon with the Yellow Eyes forced him to consume demonic blood. For most of his life this has been a footnote. But lately this has started to manifest in the form of unbidden and painful precognitive visions, and from time to time he has begun experiencing bouts of unplanned and uncontrolled telekinesis. If he ever were dumb enough to consume demon blood he would gain the ability to force demons into or out of a body with sheer will, enhanced strength, and enhanced speed. He'd also start becoming horribly corrupt, evil, and scary while growing more and more addicted to the stuff. Fun times.

TOUCHED BY DESTINY

It's not really a power per se. But some men are larger-than-life, destined to be at the center of events that would destroy almost anyone else. 11th hour rescues, coincidental clues, and lucky shots are par for Sam's course in every way. He's the sort of man who could die and be brought back from the dead because something greater than himself is using him as a pawn in larger events. It's like Somebody Up There is watching out for him, sorta, or perhaps more like Somebody down here is drunkenly banging away on a typewriter to give him some really phenomenal Plot Armor. Sam's totally unaware of this trait and never, ever relies on it.

Skills

Click to expand.

ERUDITE LOREKEEPER
Sam Winchester is a learned man. He was smart enough to finish a degree at Stanford and to earn a place at Stanford law school. He's rarely seen without his trusty laptop, which he uses to great effect. His investigative acumen extends to a wide variety of cases, but he's at his very best when he's encountering things which touch upon occult matters. He turned himself into a veritable walking encyclopedia of occult information at a very young age; his knowledge base is something some fully trained wizards might envy. He can quickly recall or find a vast variety of legends, supernatural weaknesses, and references. This trait also offers him the ability to cast well-documented ritual spells when he has the components (he can't throw fireballs or anything, do magic on the fly, or improvised, but hedge spells or more powerful, traditional spells that have been around for centuries are more than possible for him), as well as to perform exorcisms.

SMOOTH CRIMINAL
He's not proud of it, but Sam is not a man who really needs a regular job. He's got dozens of IDs and aliases. He can run a new credit card scam every week without getting caught. He knows how to pick locks, run cons, and otherwise work his way around the legal system. Of course, this does open him up to getting into some trouble with the legal system from time to time, but in general he's more than capable of avoiding the cops when he has to. Finally, he's outstanding at pretexting. He doesn't just dodge cops. He regularly impersonates them. He in fact impersonates someone new every week if he has to: FBI agents, priests, reporters...whatever it takes to get the information he needs. And if his manipulations are tinged with very real empathy, well...that does tend to work in his favor.

VERSATILE VANQUISHER

His brother might tell you that Sam is not much of a fighter at all. His brother would be wrong. Sam is well versed in unarmed combat, melee combat, and gun combat. Improvised weaponry? No problem. He was trained from the time he was old enough to hold a weapon, and he has to defend himself from something horrible almost every night; often the 'horrible' is something that by rights should be bigger, badder and deadlier than he is. His moves aren't necessarily fancy, but he makes up for it all with strength, precision, and sheer survival instinct.

Resources

HUNTER'S ARSENAL
Sam has guns filled with rock-salt bullets, guns filled with regular bullets, daggers, swords, holy water, massive amounts of salt, gas cans for burning bodies, shovels, holy symbols from half a dozen religions, several occult tomes, a powerful laptop with multiple Wi-Fi hot-spot cellphones to help him get Internet almost anywhere, brass knuckles, chalk, various magical implements, and, once he finds it on-screen, one black Impala that his brother can have back when his brother is no longer MIA. Some of this he carries in the trunk of whatever car he is driving, some of this he carries in his backpack, and some of this he stuffs in storage areas.

HUNTER'S NETWORK
What does Sam do when someone wants to verify he's really with the FBI? Gives them Bobby Singer's number, of course. What happens if he finds out about a case halfway across the country, something he can't get to? He calls a Roadhouse in Kansas where Hunters congregate, and gets someone else on the case. Can't figure out a thorny problem or too busy getting shot at to go do library research? Bobby again. And by now, his family has helped so many people that no small few of them are more than willing to drop a Winchester a line when they notice something strange or out of the ordinary. Unlike many Hunters, who prefer to stand alone, Sam is more than willing to reach out to this network whenever the need arises.

SCOUNDREL'S STASH

Sam has a prodigious collection of false IDs, including driver's licenses, credit cards, professional badges and business cards. He almost always keeps a wad of cash on him too, just in case. He has quite a few costumes that can help him sell just about any identity. He has no formal secret identity, just a bunch of temporary ones that are donned and discarded as necessary.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

GOOD WITH KETCHUP
Sam is usually injured. It's rare to see him 100% healthy. He makes powerful enemies and throws himself at things that both want to eat him and which ought to be able to destroy him with ease, armed only with a knowledge of their weaknesses and the determination to see a matter through. Cuts, bruises, breaks....you name it, it's probably somewhere on his body. He usually can't go to a hospital either. And he almost never lets a little thing like yesterday's cracked rib or claw-marks stop him from getting right back out there, creating dangerous vulnerabilities.

HELL KNOWS HIS NAME
It's really not great to be a central figure in the schemes of a powerful demon which stretch back across decades. There are demons who are intimately acquainted with Sam's identity simply because Azrael invested in him so many years ago. They want to craft him into a weapon, their own personal savior, a General to lead their armies in a sweep across Heaven and Earth. They have already intervened to make sure he doesn't get too happy, comfortable, or weak. They will absolutely intervene again.

UNHEALTHY FOCUS

When Sam gets his hooks into a problem he doesn't let it go. This applies to larger problems-- his cases, which he pursues with dogged intensity, but also to smaller ones. Enemies have been known to get the drop on him solely because he was too busy staring thoughtfully at a clue or shadowing someone else.
