Character: Sam Evans
Series: Glee
Character Age: 16 years old
Canon: At Ohio's McKinley High, one dedicated glee club director has pulled together a group of students to form a high school show choir! With a healthy mixing of social misfits, cheerleaders, and even a jock or two, they've formed a formidable group of singers and dancers known as "New Directions." Their long-term goals? Well, they've got dreams of making it to Regionals--and maybe even Nationals! No dream is too big for them... except maybe avoiding getting slushies thrown in their faces by some of the close-minded jocks who see them as losers.
Meet Sam Evans, a transfer student and the latest addition to the Glee Club. As the new kid, he's still trying to figure out his way through the school's social networks. Despite the fact that he enjoys singing, he initially rejects the idea of joining New Directions due to fear of social alienation. After a football injury sidelines him, he decides to give the club a chance. He's a sweet guy, but he's a bit socially awkward and naive at times. He approaches life with a casual, zen outlook, and isn't easily fazed for very long. He's got his fair share of lame jokes and slightly nerdy interests--does anyone else here speak Na'vi? ...You know, those blue guys from Avatar? He does have some insecurities, though, most notably a fixation on his physical appearance. Overall, he's really just a decent, friendly teenage boy.
Sample Post:
Wow, I'm impressed. When I heard we were heading to the Midwest for a Halloween production, it sounded kind of strange, you know? It's not the first place that comes to mind when I think of terror and things that lurk in the night. Now, I'm not talking about the farmhouses. It's very Night of the Living Dead, and I can respect that. But that was in Pennsylvania, and that's just a whole different kind of scene from the Midwest. It's kind of like if you took Star Trek, and had Starfleet based on Mars instead of Earth.... It's possible that comparison made more sense in my head.
Anyway, I like that you're going for the look of the Night of the Living Dead zombies, with the classic shambling, braaaaains, and all the undeath. Don't get me wrong, I loved 28 Days Later as much as the next guy, but viral "zombies" don't feel true to the spirit of the zombie genre. It's all about the rotting flesh, the torn clothes, that whole dirty "I just dug my way out of my own grave" look. Not that I need to tell you about that, from what I'm seeing.
Man, you guys are really taking this show seriously. There's the costumes, the make-up, the terrifyingly realistic prop body parts lying around... That eyeball over there actually felt real. It was gross and cool all at the same time. And then there's that guy over there that keeps talking about wanting some dude's brains--and hey, I really did appreciate the offer to share once he finally gets his hands on some. Even if they are as tasty as he seemed to think, brains are off my diet. I've heard they're rich in cholesterol.
Since you've come here to help out, I'm guessing we're putting on a musical, right? I can't wait to hear what songs we're going to be doing. There's a lot of songs about zombies and Halloween stuff. There's always Thriller, that's a classic. Hey, what are those looks for? I'm hoping that my glee club will get to do that--
--Hey! Oh man, that's disgusting. I didn't know slushies came in soylent green flavor. ...Hey, wait a minute. Isn't that supposed to be people? You guys are really into this production, aren't you? That's kinda cool.
