BOGGART Becoming like his father... Whatever that means.
MIRROR OF ERISED He is undecided on what he wants... Probably to be a quidditch player or something.
PATRONUS Elephant. They are one of the most 'human' of animals, for one thing. His emotions are usually right there on his face. He laughs when he's happy, he might even cry when he's upset. And elephants genuinely feel friendship and loyalty in a way that many animals do not. They are intelligent and yet can be very playful at the same time.
PERSONALITY Samael is generally a pretty laid back person. He doesn't like confrontation, and likes to think that he's the better man when he holds back where others would lose their tempers. He is a friendly person. He is even nice to his siblings most of the time, protecting Anna where he thinks she needs it and trying to get Grayson to be less of a jerk. He loves his parents but he doesn't really want to be like them. In his mind, Slytherins are mostly people who don't know how to have fun and worry too much about stupid things. Blood status is mostly a worry of the past in his mind, but it's other things, too. Samael is honestly too lazy to want to pursue something that would take years to obtain...

However, there are areas that he's willing to spend a lot of time on. He wouldn't want to admit that he's like his father in the sense that he's rather vain. He works on keeping in shape and wears a mixture of muggle and wizard clothing (more muggle than not, as he finds muggles interesting) that he thinks look good on him. And despite his confidence he has a few issues of his own. He is guarded about anything serious enough he wouldn't say aloud to friends and family. Occlumency drew him for that reason even though he doesn't have any major secrets. Despite all this, he is able to laugh at himself and often does. Maybe he won't laugh when certain other people laugh at him, depending on what it's over.

Samael loves girls. Most of his friends are girls because boys tend to hate him for his tendency to charm females, and he might have stolen a few of their girlfriends by accident. He hasn't had any serious relationships but he's slept around a bit and casually dated. He's somewhat afraid to commit himself to someone because he doesn't want to get attached only to lose them for some reason. It's the same thing with his schoolwork. He very much has the potential to be good in school but he doesn't try his hardest. It's alright that he failed if he didn't put in the effort, but if he did his best and still failed something, he would feel like.... well, like a failure. And that's one thing that he couldn't deal with.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

HISTORY Sam hasn't changed a lot from when he was a child. His personality was much the same when he was young, instantly making him different from his parents. As a child, for example, Blaise never wanted to dirty his clothes or play nice with other children. Samael was the exploring sort who would take acquaintances on adventures and generally leave at the end of the day with a new friend. He made friends everywhere, finding all kinds of people interesting. Old ladies, children his age, those who were younger... It didn't matter. Seeing the similarities and differences between him and others was always fascinating. When he entered school he was kind of relieved to be a Gryffindor. It suited him, and besides, everyone was too afraid of Slytherins to try to befriend them, he thought.

He mostly played sports and joked around up until he was fourteen. That was when he really started discovering girls. He could hardly help himself from kissing them when they were being cute, and that was... most of the time. He got in trouble early on both because pretty girls distracted him in class and because the feeling was often mutual and he would end up kissing several of them all in a week or two, and cause hurt feelings. At the same time he didn't seem very pleased when Anna seemed to become interested in boys. It didn't matter if Daniel Jr. was actually a good guy or a jerk, he got the same awkward treatment from Sam mostly made of a lack of trust. After all, Sam knew what he was like. Why wouldn't other boys be the same?

Most of Sam's school life was uneventful. He's joined the quidditch team some years and chosen not to other years in order to pursue other interests. This being his last year he wants to make the most of it, and maybe leave finally feeling a little grown up.

RP SAMPLE.
Maybe Blaise just had it easy. Most of the people around him seemed to be supporters of the Dark Lord, but most of the people that Blaise cared about were not. It wasn't a difficult decision for him in the end. Even Osiris who he'd known to be a Death Eater was working with them to find a way to defeat them. Blaise's mother was attempting to remain neutral, and most of Blaise's friends that had once believed in all that nonsense had changed their minds when they were faced with the reality of it all. Whether it was because they couldn't stand hurting others or if it was because they didn't measure up to the standard and got themselves hurt instead, they couldn't handle it and they knew that what worked in theory was much more difficult. “I know that must be more difficult.... When the fighting starts, don't regret not joining in. Even if people that you care about die, at least you'll know that you didn't kill them. You might have the right of it... I always thought that I was going to remain neutral too. But you learn new things about yourself in times like this.” He wondered if Jesenia was just worried about him or if she thought less of him for choosing a side. Maybe not, though. She could be painfully blunt about things when she felt strongly about them. He frowned as he thought about how to answer the second part of what she'd said. “I don't think that they have done anything to hurt her. I think that they are... just telling her what she wants to hear. Whatever makes her happier than sheltering herself and me. I can't guess what it is. Maybe that's part of why your father and my mother decided to have dinner that night.” It was a better idea than 'oh, they must have had some history together'. It made him feel less sick at least. If he suspected something between their parents, did that mean that they knew what was going on with him and Jes? His mother had been so curious about things, and so disappointed when he said that they hadn't really spoken over the summer. Seeing Jesenia's smile at his offer made Blaise feel stupid in the best sort of way. He didn't say anything, he just smiled in a way he was sure looked dorky, and nodded. “We're in a school where paintings are everywhere. If there isn't someone to hear us speak, then there is probably something that can. I don't know why anyone would pay special attention to two Slytherins when there are countless more suspicious people.” He stopped his argument when Jesenia expressed her concern. He looked at her for a moment until he got too embarrassed, then looked down. It was an odd feeling to suddenly feel shy with someone who he had been intimate with over such a small thing as concern for his safety. “Don't worry. I still value myself a lot higher than I do most people, so I'll take care of myself.” He looked back up with a smirk playing on the corner of his mouth.

Blaise definitely almost couldn't believe it when Jesenia took most of the blame on herself. It made him feel like more of a jerk than ever. “I would rather have you yell at me than avoid me. But maybe that's because... I didn't want to tell you this because I thought that it might work against me, but I do think that you're cute when you are mad at me,” he said with a playful kind of smile to try to draw her from any thoughts that might upset her. His way of comforting was not at all the way that most people went about it, but that was because he'd never been taught to care for another person this way. He was learning on his own, making things work in the way that suited him the best. He hoped in time that he would get better at it. With Jesenia's understanding he thought that he could. “I think that we were both wrong. Let's get that out of the way now... We both avoid conflict too much when we should face it. Just know that I'll never resent you for saying what you need to say. I might be stubborn about hearing it, but... It'll get through eventually.” He couldn't believe that he was actually saying something that was so cliché in relationships. Essentially that they needed to talk about things even when it was difficult. He felt like a... well, like a nerd, really, in a different way than being a bookworm should have. Relationships still made him feel so vulnerable and awkward... And even if they weren't official he felt like he needed to treat his interactions with her like they were if he wanted it to become reality.

The love potion thing seemed like an eternity ago to him as well. He'd thought that his life was so uncomplicated. Worse, he thought that was the way that he wanted things to be. He thought that relationships and love were not worth the trouble that came along with them. If that were true, then why did he fight so hard to keep Jesenia when things threatened to come between them? Blaise felt that he had just been keeping that side of him hidden away until the right moment. It had taken the plot of a common enemy to bring them together. It was the most embarrassing way to be introduced to the world of romance but the how didn't matter nearly as much as what would come after. He knew now that with Jesenia, all that this trouble was worth it, even though they kept falling into misunderstandings. If he didn't love her, he would be glad for the falling-out and the chance to return to his calm life from before. He'd get his quiet alone time back, but he would be missing out on something much more important. “I think that this is the way that I always wanted it to turn out,” Blaise said thoughtfully, referring not only to situation right now, but the time that they had known each other. They were friends for a long time before they ever became anything more than that. “I didn't see it because I didn't think that there was any chance of it... I think, looking back, I was jealous of Daniel.” That would explain a lot of why Blaise had kind of disliked him. He wasn't a bad guy really other than his issues with being faithful. Even before Blaise knew about that he must have disliked the fact that Daniel had realized his feelings for Jesenia before Blaise could do the same. Talking about Daniel was probably not the best way to charm her, so he shut his mouth and just held her for a long time, smiling. Anyone who came by would probably have a good long laugh at him, but he found that he really didn't care. He still wanted a life of near-solitude. He just wanted it to be with Jesenia. So her opinion mattered where others didn't. “My mother will be so thrilled that I have a girlfriend rather than a boyfriend,” he said after a moment, before pulling back and kissing her on the forehead. It was his way of stating the obvious, that now they could consider each other boyfriend and girlfriend... and also, his way of using humor when he was overwhelmed with emotions that were still kind of foreign to him. His mother had always suspected him of liking the same sex given his lack of dating partners...
