Played by SamBasic Information
Full Name: Samuel Alexander Jesen-Cook
Nicknames: Sam and Sammy, though he doesn't really like to be called Sammy.
Date of Birth: June 3rd 1961
Gender: Male
Occupation: 6th year student at Hogwarts.
Race: Wizard
Appearance: Samuel would be best described as mysterious. His startling, deep blue eyes make people feel as though he is looking at their souls. Standing at almost 6 feet tall, Sam towers over most people. He is skinny, but does have muscles and is strong. The boy's jet-black hair is cut short, but still has some length. His bangs need to be cut, causing him to constantly brush them out of his eyes.
Possessions: Sam carries around a small daggar for defense in case he is ever attacked. He currently doesn't own any pets.
Personality
[/font][/size]Personality: Samuel is a loner, he usually tries to avoid crowded places. It doesn't mean he hates interaction with people, but he would rather spend the day alone then with company. He's also a rather silent guy. He has a calm demeanor and not many people can get him to open up. Once a person does though, they can count on a good friend.
Another thing about Sam is that he is a caring guy and would break his back just to see his close friends happy. It takes a lot to bring that quality out though. To people he doesn't know well, Sam will usually act indifferent and even a bit arrogant, but overall he is a good person. If you get on his bad side though, Sam can be tough to deal with. He has some good insults up his sleeve and will make sure you regret whatever it is you did.

Strengths:
Potions: Samuel is great with potions. His father taught him well before Sam went to Hogwarts. This extra knowledge is great for when Sam needs to whip up a quick potion if he's not feeling well or needs a little entertainment.
Logic: Sam has an enhanced logic skill. This comes in handy during dueling and exams. He can think out a decision thoroughly and predict the outcomes without taking anytime at all.
Giving advice: If someone were to ask anyone's advice Sam would be a good choice. He takes into consideration the person, environment, and the other people involved. His advice usually comes in handy for people.
Perserverence: Samuel wouldn't really be considered stubborn, but he does work hard at trying his best and is a very commited person. He accepts life and bears all of its difficulties without complaining.
Weaknesses:
Exclusive: Samuel doesn’t like meeting new people that much and tends to stick to one group. This would be considered a weakness since he never gets to experience different people in the world. It also impacts his decisions with life in mostly negative ways.
Insomnia: Ever since he was younger, Sam suffered from lack of sleep. On a good night he gets two hours of sleep. This can sometimes effect the way he acts, causing him to lash out at people and gaining him more enemies. It’s rare though, that this has a bad effect on his life.
Arrogance: Though this isn’t such an issue, it can be. Sam’s sometimes arrogant manner can cause many people to avoid him, and like with his insomnia make more enemies. Though he tries to avoid people in general, his arrogance makes him less approachable.
Hypocritical: One thing about Sam that is a true weakness is that he is hypocritical. For example, he hates arrogant people, yet he can be arrogant. This doesn’t do good when speaking about his life with people, even though he barely does. It causes them to be mostly just be annoyed with him.
Wand: a 10¼ inches long cedar wand with a centaur tail hair core. Strength is D.A.D.A and weakness is Charms.
Happiest thought: Samuel's most happiest thought at the moment is when his parents first told him they were proud of his hard work.
Boggart: His worst fear is having his enemies know all his secrets, he makes himself laugh by having the enemy slip and fall before they can reveal them.
Patronus: Sam's happiest thought when he produces a Patronus is when he met his best friend Oliver. It takes the shape of a serpent.

Sample RP: The sky outside was getting darker and Sam swore he could see lightning in the distance. They had already eaten dinner and now he was just sitting in the Library looking out the window. He would’ve gone outside to watch the storm arrive, but tonight he had detention with the Charm’s professor and he wanted to be able to see a clock. If the class-skipper was late for detention again, he would have it every night for the next month.
Samuel sighed and grabbed the first book his hand touched from a nearby table and began reading it. He read for about five minutes before setting it down. For some reason his attention-span was short tonight. The library was completely deserted besides some fifth years studying in a corner. On a normal day Sam would be happy to have alone time, but tonight he craved to talk to someone before going to the two hour detention. To occupy his attention, the frustrated boy looked around the library, memorizing it’s appearance. There were pictures hanging on the wall of famous wizard authors. They were talking amongst themselves; oblivious to what was going on in the library. One would think that after almost six years of attending the same school, they would know what was in the library. Sam didn’t even realize there was a directory over in the corner that showed where each and every book was. He got up and went to investigate. The thing looked pretty old and was covered in dust. Not wanting to get dust on his hands, Sam pulled up the sleeve of his robes and dusted the top of the directory off. It had intricate designs down the wooden podium and the top was made of glass. It looked like you just wrote down the title and author of the book you wanted and slipped it through the slit in the top. He could wait to try and hurriedly went back to his table, only to find it occupied by someone.
