He has a low tolerance for drama in his life - likely stemmed from a rough childhood with his mother's depression and family antics - which can cause people to accuse him of being snappy, short tempered, and no fun. Sam tends to the the sort of person that's floating in the background of work - quietly getting stuff done, but willing to stop and chat if needed. He shares a deep bond with his older sister, Selene, given that she was the one to look out for him and raise him and Gabriel when their mother would shut down, and would do almost anything for her. This has given him a strong sense of family values and units - even if its nontraditional. His straight lace values and ability to navigate the grey in a black and white world makes him a good friend and companion if they are able to put up with occasional snaps in his personality. Sam unfortunately does have a hard time dealing with matters of love - this whole talking and sharing feelings nonsense, and it makes him a little skittish. His inability to act on these matters usually leaves him in a state of long term crushes that go entirely unrealized simply because he's afraid to act on it - even though he'd drop everything in a matter of seconds if the person of his affection were to ask. the history father • Shane Leroy Graves, 60, Ex-Drill Sergent - Drunkard, Unemployed [Estranged], Bellamy Oscar Redfield, 59, Detective - Step Father mother • Lisa -- Graves, 59 - Divorced from Shane and now Married to Bellamy, Teacher siblings • Selene Graves, 31 - Sister Gabriel Graves, 28 - Brother Ilya Adien Graves , 27 - Brother [unknown] important people • TENAYA SYDNEY HOLLAND - crush & coworker hometown • Hickstead, England overall history • Sam was born the second child to Shane and Lisa Graves in the quiet little town of Hickstead, UK. Thankfully, he and his siblings were so young when the divorce went down between their parents - they hardly remembered the drunken insults hurled at them and their mother by Shane before the ties were severed. Unfortunately, their mom was saddled with depression and little did the three Graves sibling know that there had been a fourth sibling unknown to them due to their young age and Lisa's depression made little Ilya lost to time and their father. Growing up in the Graves household did not start off easy for Sam - even with the absence of their abusive father. Lisa's depression left her rather unchecked their needs from time to time, and would also put her on extreme highs and lows. While her parents stepped in to help when they could, little Selene ended up being the first Graves child to grow up beyond her years to look out for her siblings. Sam become joined at the hip to her, never wanting to leave her side and often got annoyed with Gabriel - who felt wild and rambunctious - would get in the way of their games and responsibilities. It was hard for Sam to comprehend the idea of their mother's depression - feeling often annoyed and abandoned when she'd go into a downward spiral and lock herself up in the bedroom for days or be unresponsive and just wanted to sleep. Selene had a better handle for it - she always tried to explain this to both of her younger brothers - but for Sam it just didn't work. The older he got, the more he disregarded his mother's rules and regulations in the house and always looked to Selene for guidence. Things started to change once Bellamy Redfield entered the picture. He met Lisa after she had been a witness to a convivence store robbery and they remained in touch, even after the case had been closed. The introduction of Bellamy put a change in Lisa - she tried harder to get out of bed, she even went to get help to be a better person, realizing that she needed to take care of things herself in order to be there for him and her children. Therapy helped as well as medication. While she never completely got rid of her depression, she became better at managing it and Bellamy was there for the kids when she did have off days. Despite the initial resistance to a father figure in their life, Sam soon grew to accept the man as the father that he never had and accepted his presence in his life. But his mother's depression had left his mark and with Selene growing older and more independent due to Bellamy's involvement, Sam took to finding ways of getting out of the house. He took to getting a side job at at Diesel Ranch - liking the hard work, long hours, and interesting enough - time spent with the animals there. The horses and cows proved to be of great comfort to him when no other human could provide that. One of the ranch hands adopted him as a mentee and soon became his go to confidant when Selene was unavailable. Since then, Sam's life has remained rather quiet. He managed to get through Secondary School and attend the local college, but didn't complete his degree much to Selene and Bellamy's disappointment. But Sam knew where he wanted to be and that was the Ranch, already having the skillset to be there full time and get decent pay. It was a quiet life - but after the events of his childhood, Sam welcomed the life with open arms - settling on his own near the ranch, purchasing two horses to be his work mates, and tend to work there from dawn til dusk - when not distracted by a certain farrier and horse exerciser that is. To this day, Lisa never had the heart to admit to her children that there had been a forth child, the child that brought on her depression and she left to the horrible mercy of Shane. Unfortunately for the Graves siblings - it's just a matter of time before they find out and have a wrench thrown into their lives. the role player alias • forever age • old other characters • my herd
