Not because she's too cool for them. Mostly she doesn't see the point.<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Cisfemale<br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Bisexual<br/><strong>Status:</strong>Single<br/><strong>Age:</strong>22<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'5 (165.1 cm)<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>110 lb (49.89 kg)<br/><strong>Hair color:</strong>Black<br/><strong>Eye color:</strong>Brown<br/><strong>Hometown/Place of birth:</strong>Brooklyn, New York City, New York<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">More Personal</span></span><br/><strong>Family:</strong><br/>Allah Kane (mother & Patent Attorney)<br/>Tomas Kane (father & Museum Curator)<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>The biggest complaints Sam's parents ever had about her was that she took nothing seriously. Which, so not fair. She cared about tons of things, like the kid panhandling on the corner or whether her weed guy was sloppy enough to be hauled off to jail. She can be reckless, thoughtless, and is generally an all around mess. She can't stand to be bored. Often, she considers her mutation a profound blessing because without it, she's not sure she'd have any direction in life. That's important to her, because as together as she really isn't, her heart's the bleeding kind.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Napping, tree shenanigans, hiking, camping, swimming, partying, yoga, jogging, sculpture and pottery, and gardening.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>A big portion of Sam's childhood was spent alone, cooped up in her parents' spiffy Harlem townhouse in the long stretches between play dates. Just her and the nanny, while her mom and dad worked, worked, worked. She had no siblings and, until freshman year, no friends. Just a lot of quiet. She never had much appreciation for silence and an aggressive amount of time with it didn't help the matter. Probably, if she'd had her choice of mutation, she would've wanted something loud. Sonic, maybe. Plants are nice too.<br/><br/>Her parents took the whole mutant thing in stride. Denial was pretty difficult when your pristine, minimalist home became a jungle, the floors coated with dirt your daughter brought in for this very purpose because it helps her breathe. They weren't psyched, but it's not like this was the worst thing she ever did, and maybe if she kept busy with it, who knows? Stranger things happened. So they made a few calls, reached out to a friend's weird nephew, and enrolled Sam in the Xavier Institute like they had any other joint they tossed her in. It kinda worked. She can definitely control her powers a lot more than before and it's nice. She can sleep out in the Greenhouse and feel set in her skin. Besides her parents, she told a couple best friends, but kept her mouth shut. Even they figured the little demonstration she showed them was a trick of the light.<br/><br/>When she was a student, she blew off what didn't interest her and snuck off to every party she could. Now that she's leveled up, she's taken<em>some</em>responsibility. It's only one subject, after all, and one of the very few she finds important. Does she ditch every now and again? Of course. She's only human and everyone's gotta have the occasional hangover.<br/><br/>Ideally, Sam sees herself in a desert, probably reversing desertification. She'd honestly feel more comfort in a dense jungle or forest, but that's more meaningful, right? Resurrecting portions of the Sahara. She has the vague idea of it stuck in her head. As much as she doesn't have anything against the Institute, she holds that goal close. If nothing else, it feels good to know where she's going. Or, at least, where she wants to go. She grows a few special herbs for her own personal use and maybe the use of a few good friends. She's not interested in being anybody's dealer.<br/><br/>Sam's a fan of twisting plants to meet more<em>specific</em>standards. She downsized a Weeping Willow to guard her stuff and near the front she grew an Audrey Jr from Little Shop of Horrors to serenade (and maybe frighten) guests. Except Sam's not a fan of the name Audrey, so she calls her June instead. June only bites if you want her to, despite the occasional wail of, "Feeeed me." Her songs reflect her mood, which is often highly influenced by Sam's mood.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Delta<br/><br/><strong>Type of mutant:</strong>Dormant Gene<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>Pretty much blows off most offensive possibilities. There's always tossing some sand (or rocks or boulders or you get it) in the eye and, if she's among vegetation or Earth, she can summon them forward to hide her, but beyond that, she's more interested in experimenting with it.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Chlorokinesis:</span>She can create, shape, and manipulate plants. She needs dirt to yield anything and a plant that needs sunlight will resist being summoned in darkness. She can't communicate with them. Although, and this could be all the weed talking, she's certain there are some special<em>vibes</em>coming her way.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Terrakinesis:</span>She can shape and manipulate elements derived from Earth, but not create it. This doesn't come as easy to her as the plants, but she's been able to raise walls twice her height and possibly repair compromised soil. Pushing dirt and ground around's child's play. She's working on converting sand to soil, but it's been tough.<br/><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>Botanical, life sciences, and homeopathic knowledge. Disarming personality, sweet dance moves, bendy, and awesome climber.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taught:</strong>Biology. Gardening Club!<br/><br/><strong>Staff Relations:</strong>Ex(es) would be good.

I think it'd be cool, now that I think of it, if she had a favorite teacher-turned-colleague. Or a least favorite one, on the flip side.</li><li>Might come off as a bit (very) out of it. The frequency with which she shows up to class buzzed (buzzed, not high, because she's a <em>professional</em>) probably doesn't do a lot to help that. On the bright side, she knows her subject inside out, regardless of intoxication.</li><li>Outside of special circumstances, she's really friendly and in possession of a disarming disposition. She especially values friends and relationships because she spent a lot of her childhood alone. Her parents worked constantly and she was home schooled by her aloof nanny until middle school, after she'd made a huge conduct over it. She ruined the second floor and ran away to New Jersey. It scared her parents shitless. Mainly because Jersey.</li><li>Kinda inured to boredom, but hates it and gets restless easily</li><li>Outside of something gruesome like murder or rape, compromised reputations are likely to endear Sam. Disapproving whispers are sure sign of fun.</li><li>Loyal friend. Big heart. Intelligent.</li><li>Reckless, impulsive mess. Very dismissive of consequences, except maybe the murderous type. Wild.</li><li>She doesn't believe in god. However, if (s)he does exist, she figures (s)he's 1) a sick fuck and 2) totally loves Sam. (And why wouldn't (s)he?) 1's because of the breeding ground for tragedy Earth seems to be and 2's because Sam's managed to avoid most of it. Plus she has awesome tits. </li></ul><br/><strong>Connections I am looking for:</strong> <br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><span class="bbc_u">Partner in Crime.</span> It feels very weird to ask for (maybe too committal?) but here it is. It'd be more like someone for her to be real close to and go on benders with, engage in ill-advised fun, and etc</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Friends!</span> Lots of these, please.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Exes!</span> I think it'd make a lot of sense that she'd have a few and it'd be fun to have a couple among the player characters.</li><li><span class="bbc_u">Frenemies/Scold-ers</span> If anyone wants to go out of their way to frown at Sam, that's cool. She's kinda a slob-y slacker/stoner. That might bug people. Unless they ruin her fun or say something <em>especially</em> nasty to her, the disdain might be a little one sided. </li><li><span class="bbc_u">Et Cetera!</span> Of the <em>wink wink</em> variety or otherwise. <br/></li></ul><strong>Connections in Progress:</strong><br/>I'm such a bum. But the longer I procrastinate, the larger and more terrifying (and more full of cool characters but terrifying also) the character thread grows...<br/><br/>So I guess,TLDR: very open to new connections. It'd be really nice to be PM'd, for a change. <br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Logan Howlett (Black Howling): Ex. </li></ul><br/><strong>Confirmed connections:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Sean Cassidy (Intimate Ink): Friend.</li><li>Jubilation Lee (Bibliophilia): Great.</li><li>Warren Kenneth Worthington (Bibliophilia): Mother Hen.</li><li>Laura Kinney (Amarlo): Brat. </li><li>Marcel St. Croix (Orange Marmalade): Friend.</li></ul><br/>Here's (https://sociorocketnewsen.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/giphy-5.gif?w=580) your reward for reading all this!<br/><br/></div></div><br/><br/>
