Mass Effect, as you are almost certainly aware, is a space opera video game series (currently a trilogy, soon to be more than that) and expanded universe that, all in all, is complex, feels-terroristy and objectively awesome. That is a scientific fact. Quote me.
To give the abridged version, the games track the adventures of the customizable player character, the human military commander *microphone feedback* Shepard as he or she travels through space on a variety of assignments that tie into a single larger goal: defeating a race of enormous synthetic space crabs called the Reapers. Reapers are huge meanies who go around cleansing the galaxy of all advanced organic life every 50,000 years, but taking them out isn't just a matter of shooting them with stuff until it sticks: first Shep actually has to figure out that they exist and constitute a threat, bring them to the attention of the galactic government called the Council, and acquire the necessary resources to take them down. Even as all this is going on, Shep has tons of other things on his or her mind to worry about, not least of which is the existential crisis of the Mass Effect universe: which seat (s)he should taaaake of the many attractive and delightful squadmates to romance (if any at all).
That's actually a fairly cohensive summary of the games at large to give you an idea of what kind of universe Sam comes from, but it tells you almost nothing about her universe as she knows it. For starters, it's 2185 where she comes from; tons of different alien races interact with one another on a regular basis with little conflict (though there's some: the humans, brash newcomers to the galactic community, still don't have the respect that they feel they deserve; at the same time, there's bad blood between combinations of species that have been at war in the past, and plenty of races that have been on the scene for centuries still don't hold seats on the intergalactic government and are fairly bitter about it), with the hub of all galactic social life located on a station in the Widow system called the Citadel. (You may remember it from this field trip last fall.) Many species, including humans, have expanded beyond their original homeworlds -- Sam, for instance, was born and raised not on Earth, but on a colony in the Terminus Systems called Horizon. Intergalactic community is kind of a way of life, right along with futuristic technology like omni-tools, biotic powers, and day-to-day life like work and the pursuit of alcohol.
Something else that's a big part of The Lifestyle in the Mass Effect world, and a major theme throughout the games, is war culture - but while Sam is a technical specialist for the Systems Alliance, the human military fleet, and as such is immersed in war culture, the rest of her universe isn't there yet. That'll come later, once the fight against the Reapers really gets going and turns into a full-fledged war. For right now, the galaxy is waiting in semi-blissful ignorance, with Shepard temporarily dead and no major threats affecting the galaxy on a tremendously large scale...
Sam
Samantha Traynor - or Communications Specialist Traynor, to use the title she holds while serving with Shepard on the SSV Normandy SR-2 - is a skilled young technician from the planet Horizon. Though she was raised in space, she's spent time on Earth before, because she received a full Alliance-granted scholarship to Oxford University, which she wouldn't have been able to afford to attend otherwise. Now, on an Alliance salary for what she does for them as well as for Portalocity, Sam is in a bit of a better financial situation - just look at her crazily advanced toothbrush, which cost six thousand credits.
Personality-wise, Sam is clever, creative, and aware of her skills, though it takes her a while to get comfortable enough with the Normandy team to let her confidence show. Upon Shepard's first arrival onboard the Normandy, Sam is a starstruck, flaily mess, second-guessing everything she says. If Shepard chooses to reassure her, Sam is visibly comforted; however, in the event that Shepard tells Sam to keep it professional, Sam takes it upon herself to pull herself together, aware that she's setting a very poor example for a hero(ine) who has repeatedly saved the galaxy. Though she's not initially confident in the face of legends like Shepard (or, in fact, many of the Commander's past crew members and friends, as evidenced by Sam's flailiness at a party for all of them in the Citadel DLC), Sam is resilient and hard-working, and she's more than capable of toughing out a difficult situation until she finds her comfort zone (see: her increased ability to not flail around not_a_whiner). In Fandom, this will likely play out just like it did on the Normandy, with Sam doing her best to acclimatize to the new environment and act composed until she finds herself actually becoming familiar and comfortable.
Apart from all that, Sam is a big dork. She loves strategy games like chess and space chess, which is called Kepesh-Yakshi (see: username) and features virtual explosions as well as real negative neural feedback whenever a player sacrifices a piece. You kind of have to be a certain kind of badass to voluntarily play, and Sam's played in tournaments.
In a romantic relationship, Sam is a bit of a flirt and a romantic, but with a devious side. She's a lesbian -- sorry, Jack and Priestly! -- and also one of the few romance options that takes credit for initiating the romance rather than giving that credit to Shepard. While the two are sharing a hot tub in the Citadel DLC, Sam will scoff at Shepard's adorable insistence that the Commander was the one to start things between the two of them, pointing out that, uh, yeah, Sam used Shepard's shower and invited the Commander in to join her. They also share a few other adorable moments throughout the game, often with the Commander soothing Sam's flailing in instances like, for example,[Citadel DLC spoilers!]Sam briefly getting kicked off the Normandy by an evil clone of the Commander in the Citadel DLC.In the long term, Sam wants to settle down someday in a house with a picket fence, two kids and a dog - she tells Shepard as much if Shep is female and romancing her. At twenty-six years old, though, with a hella bright career ahead of her that she very much enjoys, Sam's not really in any kind of a rush. And anyway, as a romance with Shepard is not on the horizon for FH!Sam, all that shippy stuff is a bit moot anyway.
The next thing to know about Sam is that she's certainly friendly, but she's not great at socializing. Mingling at large gatherings is very much not her thing, and though Sam can endure the startlingly action-packed, shoebox-style living conditions aboard the Normandy, put the girl in a big group of people making small talk at a party and she trips all over herself. Still, in small, less overwhelming social settings, Sam is eager to get along with people and make friends, and unlike most of the rest of my on-island roster at the moment, she's actually really sweet about it.
One more fun fact about Sam is that she has a bit of a thing for robots. Specifically sexy-voiced robots who look and sound polished and feminine. Her, uh, robot fantasies can get surprisingly vivid, but please don't call her out on them or the… adult extranet sites she tends to privately frequent which depict organic/synthetic… um, porn. She's a bit shy about all that. For obvious reasons. Truth be told, I'm a little sad that gladigotburned isn't around to captivate Traynor here with her sexy, sexy voice.
All in all, Samantha Traynor is creative, dorky and bright; she's an expert on communications technology from her era and can easily grasp the less-complex tech here in 2013. She flails when she's uncomfortable but adapts to new situations fast, and while she's not what you'd call a social butterfly, making friends is still very much something she can and would like to do.
Portalocity
So, yes, Sam's managing Fandom's Portalocity branch these days! The part of her title that you don't hear is that she's also the Systems Alliance official Portalocity liason - which you don't hear not because it's a secret, but mostly because she figures the people in Fandom are more interested in hearing that she's the manager. But. She is both. (Incidentally, she dresses like she's military, too. For work, anyway. After-hours is probably a different story. But if you come by the office during her shift, it's hard to miss that what she's wearing is some kind of uniform, and very similar to Kaidan's.)
Anyway, her job means that if you have a bone to pick with the gnome (heh, accidental almost-rhyme), you are more than welcome to go through Sam. Her voicemail is here and you're welcome to dump business-related messages in there as well as personal ones, or to come see her in the office in person. Seriously, I would love for someone to yell at her. On top of that, if you'd like to come up with some portal torture that's actually Sam's fault, I would be more than happy to help with that if you shoot an email my way. (Though obviously, modding terrible Portalocity service in general is also still totally allowed.)
Personally, Sam is very committed to restoring some dignity to Portalocity as a business, because that's what she's getting paid to do, but apart from maybe a mildly improved social media presence and halfway competent customer service relations at this one branch, it's... probably not going to happen. She's got an overly chin-up, stiff-upper-lip perspective, but Portalocity blows, Traynor. Accept it.
Also, if you'd like to work at Portalocity, talk to me! Sam's going to ask for resumes, but I'll hire whoever. C'mon. You know you want to be a part of this failing industry. Doooo it.
And now for my characters who aren't new!
