His body has a number of scars, particularly across his torso and legs form the numerous fights he has been involved in.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Born to a miliarty family, it was always accepted that Samson would follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. From a young age Samson applied himself to training in the military skills, taking particular joy in the physical aspects, often spending a good deal of time attempting to build up his strength and stamina. The end result was quite impressive, his size often intimidating his opponents before he even got the chance to throw a punch. Flagged for infantry, Samson served most of his time on garrison duty, moving closer and closer to the battle lines between the Lyran and Clan Wolf.<br/><br/>Attacked at night, his garrison was swiftly being overrun. Faced with an array of enemy Mechs, Samson had considered heading for the hills, finding it rather useless of infantry to attempt to take out the advancing mech. Attempting to take cover in the mech hanger while he plotted his escape, he noticed an empty Gauntlet nearby. Feeling that it was his best bet of getting out alive, he strapped himself in. The first few moments were nearly the end of him, his unfamiliarity with the controls resulting in him walking through the wall and the building next to him, drawing a good deal of enemy fire due to all the commotion. Eventually managing to put up a fighting retreat, he slipped into the mountains, his knowledge of the area allowing him to elude the clanners.<br/><br/>Feeling that it was useless to return to the Lyran Armed Forces, Samson managed to barter his way offworld, taking the mech with him. Seeing no other options before him, he began to go under a nickname, offering himself out for mercenary work.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Samson is a bruiser, plain and simple. If there is even the very hint of a fight, Samson will be in the middle of it. He doesn’t care the side, just as long as he gets to hit someone. Be it with his fists or a mech, he will never back down from a fight if he feels he has even the smallest chance to win.<br/><br/><strong>Specialty Skills:</strong>Brawler, Adept at mountain/forest manuvering<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial black;">BattleMech </span><br/><div class="floatright">(http://www.sarna.net/wiki/images/4/42/Gauntlet_OmniMech.jpg)</div><strong>Chassis:</strong><em>Gauntlet</em>)<br/><strong>Model:</strong>GTL-10<br/><strong>Weight Class:</strong>Medium<br/><strong>Callsign:</strong>The Bear<br/><strong>Description:</strong>Usually shades of green and brown, has been known to change it when needed.<br/><br/><strong>Weapons:</strong>1x PPC, 1x Thunderbolt 10<br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>Myomer Accelerator Signal Circuitry (MASC), Supercharger<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>None that Samson knows about, nor does he care.<br/>
