"'INSANE' IS KIND OF WHAT WE DO." -Basics-Face Claim: Jared Padalecki
Name: Samuel "Sam" William Winchester
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Height: 6' 4"
Fashion: Simple, utilitarian, functional. Clothes suited to outdoor work and worn in layers for comfort, warmth, and protection from injury. Jeans, boots or workman shoes, plain t-shirts, plaid button downs and a utility jacket. If he's ever wearing anything else, it's usually as a disguise when he has to impersonate someone. His clothes are usually cleaner than his brother's.
Physical Description: Firstly and most notably, Sam is very tall. He has a muscular build with broad shoulders and a muscular chest. Shaggy brown hair that sometimes grows long due to forgetfulness and neglect. Deep, soulful eyes that seem to change color from light green to brown. Often clean-shaven when compared to his brother.
"I've been there. You were nothing like your family. You sure as hell weren't like your dad. Me either. And just like you, I got out. or I-I thought I got out. But then... then my family needed me. And this is my life. No matter how many times I try to fight it, this is what I was put here to do. This is where I make the world a better place." -Personality-Description: Sam is usually kind, empathetic, intelligent and independent. He is often the exasperated voice of reason in his relationship with Dean, who in turn sees him as a geek or prude, and teasingly calls him "bitch," to which Sam usually responds with "jerk". He does not seem to drink alcohol as much as Dean does and has a much healthier diet than his brother (Dean scoffs at Sam's diet and calls it "rabbit food"). Has a phobia of clowns. Because of his intelligence, Sam is usually assigned the role of researching information for hunts; he is the "brain", whilst Dean is the "muscle". He normally remembers details that Dean overlooks and is prone to make connections quicker than his brother. He also knows a great deal of information that causes Dean to label him a "walking encyclopedia of weirdness". Sam tends to be driven by feelings of anger and vengeance. As a teenager and even as a young man, Sam argued with his father constantly whenever they were together. Sam wanted to live a normal, "apple pie" life instead of continuing to hunt, which led to most of his arguments with John and his estrangement from his family when Sam was applied to and was accepted into college. His empathy and the desire to help people (a leftover from his years spent hunting things and helping people) led him to apply to med school. After his girlfriend's death, Sam became fixated on vengeance but still held out hope for eventually returning to med school. However, when John died, Sam focused all of his attention on hunting instead of returning to a normal life. Doesn't like being called 'Sammy'. Hates being called 'Samuel'.
Habits/Hobbies: Nerdy pop culture; teasing Dean; will do literally anything for his brother despite Dean being a jackass much of the time; claims is favorite singer is Elvis Presley but it's not (Elvis is his second favorite)
Girl: Where did you learn to do this?
Sam: I had a messed up childhood.
History:
Sam is the second-born son of John and Mary Winchester. His mother was a Campbell, a long line of hunters that stems back several generations. When the demon, Azazel (often referred to as The Yellow-Eyed Demon or Yellow Eyes), visited an infant Sam in his crib, feeding him his blood, Mary intervened. This resulted in her death and made John dedicate his life to hunting down the demon, while at the same time training his sons to hunt supernatural creatures. This put a strain on the family, because it wasn't a life that any child should have to live through. While Dean followed right in their father's footsteps, Sam resented John for this, always longing for a 'normal' life. When Sam applied to Stanford and was accepted, it culminated in the greatest rift between father and son with Sam walking out and not looking back for over 4 years.
In college, Sam thrived. Years spent hunting the supernatural may not have inclined Sam to the life, it had however instilled in him the drive to help people. So, Sam went pre-med. On the cusp of his entry, Dean came crashing back into his life with the news that their father had gone missing. Despite how things had ended between them, Sam couldn't say no to his big brother.
