A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.
[CANON] Sam Winchester || Supernatural || Reserved || 2 of 2
Abilities:
From a young age, Sam has been trained to fight. At the very least it’s to be expected he has experience with firearms (his father gave him a pistol when he was 9 and he mentions weapons training) and knives (he’s been shown with both butterfly and hunting knives). Hand-to-hand combat is also something that’s been drilled into him, and he’s easily taken on older kids several times, though they likely had no training to begin with. His smaller stature makes him agile and able to make quick attacks, though it’s unlikely he’d be able to take on any adult that knows how to handle themselves.
Other than that, Sam has a decent knowledge of the supernatural as well as ways to dispatch various creatures. And for those that he isn’t familiar with, he’s damn good at hitting the books until he figures it out. Sam also has basic medical training in a loose sense of the term. Give him a sewing needle and some dental floss and he can patch up a wound pretty well. It’ll leave a scar, but that’s better than bleeding out, right?
First Person:
[Looking anything but comfortable, a small, wiry teenager addresses the city through a video feed.]
Hi, uh, I’m– My name’s Sam. This kinda goes out to anyone who’s gone outside of the city, but even if you haven’t I could still use your help. See, I’m trying to– First off, there’s no denying that there are monsters out there, okay? I think enough of us have seen them to rule out that they’re just myths. So anyone, if you’ve seen something unnatural around, I want to talk to you. Well I mean.. I want you to talk to me.
What I want to do is make a list. More like an encyclopedia I guess, but basically something that has information on the creatures that are here. Out there. If you know how to protect yourself from it, that’s a plus, but even if you just know what something’s called or even what it looks like, that would help. I’m pretty good at hitting the books, so hopefully I’ll be able to fill in the blanks, but uh..
[He runs a hand through his hair.]
I think it’ll help everyone if there’s a reference for things that are out there. What to expect, ways to defend yourself or kill them. It would help people stay safe, whether they’re in the city or want to look outside it. So uh. Thank you, in advance.
Third Person:
At least research was something Sam was familiar with. He supposed he should be terrified, what with barely any recollection of how he had arrived here in the first place, though perhaps that was what the uneasy feeling in his gut was trying to build up to. But like this, with a stack of books beside him and his nose buried in the dusty pages, it was easy enough to slip into habit that the pressing urge to panic was forced further down by the turn of each page, by each book pushed aside after Sam is through sifting from cover to cover.
Thus far, his search has been fruitless. He’s found names of creatures that spirit away men, women, or children, but nothing with a taste for all three that simply.. allowed its victims free range. A djinn had crossed his mind, but Sam quickly dismissed that thought. Djinn were supposed to show one dreams and wishes, not something they never wanted. At one point, Sam found himself wondering if his father would know what to do, but he shook that thought away as well.
If there was one good thing about this place, it was that John wasn’t here. No phone calls every hour that led into disappointment, into people’s lives are at stake, Sam, into call me as soon as you know something. As if he would have forgotten under whose orders he was stuck in the library for to begin with. The teenager huffed, focused in on the book in his hands again. He didn’t need his father’s guidance. He could do this on his own.
