Personality

Alignment – Chaotic Good
Samuel is pretty decent guy who is willing to go to a great length to help the ones he cares about including his friends, family and patients. As someone who lost his faith in humanity, but didn´t lost his hope he has only little use for formal laws or customs and rather lets his conscience to dictate his actions. Because of that and his eccentric personality his actions can be often seen as unorthodox at best and too extreme in worst but he himself doesn´t care as long as the results speaks for themselves. Although he is looking down on needles violence, he isn´t above using it if necessary but even then he is trying to avoid causing any unnecessary suffering even if that means killing as fast and as painlessly as possible. His conscience is also unbothered by lies and deceptions especially if they severs a good purpose, like protecting privacy of his patients.

Nature – Caregiver
For the brave ones and the ones who have nothing to lose only. That is written on sign, Samuel put on the doors of his office and he means it, because despite his creepy behavior and all his shortcomings he is excellent psychiatrist who is willing to do anything necessary to help the people who are either desperate or sincere enough to ask for his help. Also, even through he doesn´t hold the majority of humanity in very high regards, he greatly care about people who are close to him. It´s not a bi group, maybe three to four people including his wife and their two children, but still h is very warm and protective towards them. Maybe a bit overprotective actually as he is wiling to go to a great length to keep them safe and happy.

Demeanor – Creep Show
Samuel is one of the “hard to get along with” people who gets on many people´s nerves just by their very presence. Maybe it´s because of his slightly narrowed eyes and constant smile that is making it nearly impossible to discern his thoughts. Or maybe because of his heavy use of sarcasm and mockery but majority of people finds him unsettling at best and scary and dangerous at worst. Of course, thanks to his natural perceptiveness, Samuel is well aware of the effects his demeanor have on the people around him and when necessary, he toys with their minds and emotional state in proper mood toys with their minds and emotional state for his own amusement, which definitely doesn´t improve the general opinion people has about him.

Hobbies and Peculiarities
Samuel is excellent psychiatrist and psychologist, whose profession is his greatest hobby. He excels in psychoanalytic therapy and understanding of subconscious thoughts and psychological process of people around him. Thanks to that, he is very good when it came to judging the character of people around him just as understanding the problems they are currently dealing with. Of course this has it´s dark side as he is also very aware of weak points in human psychic and able to push on them to make people snap. Aside from this, Samuel is also great fan of theater plays and operas and avid martial artist who got himself the nick name King of Stranglers, because of the techniques he prefers in his fights. He became one by necessity, as his line of work required ability to subdue bigger, stronger and often raging foes, but he soon realized, that he likes the feeling that comes with victory and picked is as a new hobby that he would be willing to spend a lot of his free time on, if he had some of course.

Appearance

Physical Description
Samuel is tall and wiry man in his late thirties with dark, slowly graying hair, narrow face and cold blue eyes. Despite being incredibly strong, he isn´t muscular, but rather wiry with lean yet steel hard arms long fingers. With his constantly narrowed eyes and mocking smile he often gives the impression of a fox or more likely snake watching it´s prey which may unsettle people who find themselves in his vicinity.

Outfit and Accessories
Unlike many others who are wearing suit just because it´s required by their role or status, Samuel actually enjoys it. Because of that you will rarely see him in anything else than one o his many three piece suits, tie and formal shoes. Even when he is working or at home he is just giving up on his jacket or a vest respectively but never the whole thing. His obsession with suits is so great that he own several types depending on the occasion and a huge collection of cufflinks worth a small fortune.

Traits

Inhuman Strength
E-class
Being forced to wrestle with physically very strong and often extremely aggressive people Samuel developed inhuman levels of physical strength that allows him to surpass limits of human body whatever it is lifting, holding or sheer destructive power.

Inhuman Reflexes
E-class
Working with completely unpredictable, often very aggressive people all the time, Samuel developed inhumanly fast reflexes that allows him to quickly react on sudden changes in situation with incredible clarity and accuracy even in very chaotic situations.

Inhuman Flexibility
E-class
Although he doesn´t look that way, Samuel is a monster in his own right, for he was born with levels of flexibility and hyper-mobility that are unattainable by regular training. Thanks to this, his tendons and ligaments works like a powerful rubber bands, that allows him to twist, bend and even pull his body and it´s parts to angles and distances that should be otherwise impossible.

Inhuman Stamina
D-class
Even when compared to other forms of combat, submission fighting is excruciatingly painful and incredibly taxing. So, it´s no wonder that fighters specialized on this discipline quickly develops inhuman levels of stamina and physical energy, that allows them to fight for hours if not days without showing any signs of being tired. And even when they run out of energy, hefty meal and good night sleep is all they need to get back to work again.

Fighting Styles

Name:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Focus:- “Locks and Throws”; “Grappling”;
Class:- D
Description:- Almost esoteric style, that he learned from one of his clients, Michael. It´s focused on stable, low stances and flow like movements, centered around circular arm movements that are used to intercept and redirect the incoming attack. As Samuel himself used to train on grappling specialized martial art before, he adjusted this style to his needs by empathizing subjugation of his enemies through grappling, locking and strangulation techniques.

• Water Kata (D-class):- Thanks to rigorous training and deep meditations Samuel learned how to control his body and muscles to even greater degree. Mastering the ability of turning his whole body limp and flexible through complete muscular relaxation.
  
  

Name:- Fist of Imperial Tiger
Focus:- “Mixed boxing”; “Power Attacks”;
Class:- D
Description:- Hard style of mixed boxing, that he learned from one of his clients, Michael. It´s focused on straightforward, fast footwork, which main goal is ot get the user as close to their opponent, as possible, to maximize the effectiveness of knee, elbows and shoulder strikes that are the true specialty of this style. Once the user is inside their opponent´s zone, they start to use short stomping footwork to limit their movements combined with staggering strikes to the vital parts of their body, mainly solar plexus, neck, chin, temple and groins. As a close quarter boxing style, the Imperial Tiger doesn´t contain any kicks (with the exception of few low kicks and it´s characteristic stomping footwork) and no grappling or wrestling techniques.

• Steel Kata (D-class):- Through rigorous physical training and application of an isometric and dynamic tension exercises, Samuel learned how to harden his muscles on or even beyond he level of steel without losing his mobility, thus greatly increasing of both his offensive and defensive capabilities.
  
  

Name:- Fist of Imperial Phoenix
Focus:- “Unarmed”; “High speed movement”;
Class:- E
Description:- Fast and precise style that he learned from one of his clients, Michael. It´s focused on circular footwork, together with constant flow like movement of ones arms. The practitioners are employing whole body movements with coiling and uncoiling action that allows them quickly maneuver around the opponent and flow in or out of object´s way. However once the time to take an action comes, Samuel swiftly switches into more direct footwork, unleashing very aggressive, rapid fire of attack in the form of hand techniques, grapples and throws to completely obliterate any opponent, before pulling back again into the circular footwork. This swift switching between circular, evasive and fast, direct techniques makes the Imperial Phoenix into ideal style for fights with bigger number of opponents.

Techniques

Name:- Empty Moon
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description: The most basic technique of the Dragon. Through precise, flow like movement of his arm Samuel will intercept his opponent attack and redirect it´s flow of power away from his body. In this manner he can make his opponent´s attack miss as well as make the opponent lose their balance, allowing an opening for a counterattack.

• Name:- Mirrored Moon
  Original:- Empty Moon
  Rank:- 2
  Aspects:-
  Description:- Instead of using ones own movement to intercept the incoming attack, Samuel learned how to make his own body completely limp and flexible by relaxing all of his muscles. In this state, he put virtually no resistance to an incoming attack and so he can let it´s energy to push his body out of the way without taking any real damage himself, with the possibility of taking his opponent out of their balance by the momentum of their own attack. Like a leaf dancing in the wind.
• Name:- Binding Moon
  Original:- Mirrored Moon
  Rank:- 3
  Aspects:- Water Kata
  Description:- After mastering the art of muscular relaxation even further, Samuel stopped being limited to a simple dodge. Instead he learned how to go with his opponent´s flow, wrapping himself around their limb, before capturing it in a joint lock, taking the opponent down on the ground in the process.

[/ul]

Name:- Python Hold
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description:- While stand-up fighting his opponent, Samuel will get on their backs, wrapping his legs around their arms and pushing them to their body to prevent counterattack, while at the same time executing rear naked choke putting his victim to a sleep through strangulation. As he currently lack means to work around his opponent in regular fight, he is usually using this technique for surprise attacks or as a follow up move after Empty Moon.

Name:- Triangle Choke
Fighting Style:- Fist of Imperial Dragon
Rank:- 1
Description:- This technique can serve as a counter against slower but powerful punches or some throws. As the opponent executes their attacks, Samuel´ll go with its flow, capturing the opponent´s arm with his own by grabbing their wrist, while at the same time encircling their entire arm and neck with his legs. Applying pressure from one of Samuel´s legs and opponent´s own shoulder to their neck, he can restrict the blood flow to their head putting them to sleep.

• Name:- Indestructible: Triangle Choke
  Original:- Triangle Choke
  Rank:- 2
  Aspects:- Steel Kata
  Description:- The greatest weakness just as strength of strangulation techniques are the seven seconds it took it´s victims to pass out. During that time the user is vulnerable to possible counters not only from the captured opponent but also his allies. To counter this weakness Samuel learned how to harden the muscles of his body to the point of steel right after he captures his victim, tightening his hold even further, just as nullifying most conventional counters in the process.
• Name:- Indestructible: Python
  Original:- Indestructible: Triangle Choke
  Rank:- 3
  Aspects:- Steel Kata
  Description:- Technique that Samuel developed for fighting very strong opponents or other ground combat specialists. As they get on the ground either via tackle or other technique, Samuel will harden his muscles to the level of steel, without sacrificing his mobility. After that he´ll start slowly and methodically changing his grip and moving his position, like a python wrapping around his prey, until capturing his victim in triangle choke. As both his grip and clingy muscles are hardened by the Seel Kata its incredibly hard to break from Samuel´s hold, not to mention the fact that his hard as steel muscles are protecting him against conventional counterattacks and ambushes from other fighters.

Background

Growing up
Samuel was born in the East Blue to the family of famous doctor and his wife. As such, he was growing in a loving environment, raised to take on his fathers mantle from very young age. And he was very good in his “perfect so” role. Naturally very smart and perceptive, strong willed enough to get a job done, yet humble enough to listen to his parents advice. Samuel had always the best marks from all his teachers and when he finally went to the university he excelled there too. As was their family tradition he picked medicine as his field, specializing in the newly emerged field of mental health called psychiatry. During his studies, he quickly realized that work with mentally unstable and often aggressive people has it´s risks especially if they were his patients and so he wasn´t allowed to hurt them back. And so he took an advice from a more experienced colleague and started training in martial arts, more precisely a branch of JiuJitsu specialized on grappling and strangling techniques that were allowing him to put down even bigger and stronger people without seriously hurting them.

Building Career
Learning directly from some of the founders of his field, Samuel graduated as an expert on a subject that was largely distrusted by public and scientific community alike, including several big names in the medical field. Determined to prove his point, Samuel moved to the Loguetown and opened his first clinic there. At first he struggled as admitting any problems that would fall in his competence was way too humiliating for anyone who could afford to pay for his services. However eventually the ices melted and after few successful cases he got the recognition he wanted. However the more Samuel worked, the more he was realizing, that humanity is flawed. When they opened to him, he saw that his patients weren´t much more than a cruel, hypocritical animals dancing around in a fancy clothes. This revelation changed him slowly over time. He became more cynical and learned how to hide his disgust behind a smile, sarcasm and mockery.

Finding redemption
For a year Samuel as dancing on a thin edge, where on one side was complete burn out and on the other hell of madness. Yet he didn´t fall to either of them as he found his salvation in a Anabella. Young woman, honest, sincere and innocent, almost to the point of naivety. They met by accident. She was newly hired barista in his favorite cafe and he was the regular customer who were always sitting alone in the corner of the room, broody as a thunder cloud. She made it into her personal mission to cheer him up and in the course of year step by step she made it through the constant mockery and sarcastic notes as the first person in many, many years. For him, she was a nuisance at first, tolerable existence than, pleasant distraction later and before he knew it the two of them were dating. Her bright and optimistic personality was in such direct contrast to his, that many people suspected he bewitched her or used some kind of evil tricks on her, but if anything the opposite was true. She charmed him and even through her spell wasn´t strong enough to restore his faith in humanity it was enough to gave him a stable place in his world of madness. She was his princess and Samuel was determined to be her knight in shining armor. And that didn´t changed even decade later, when they married and had a children together.

Dangerous Friend
Despite being very close to his wife and both children Samuel never believed that he could meet with anyone who he could call a friend, yet it happened. A year ago a man just a few years younger than himself came to his clinic with a very specific issue he needed a help with. At first, Samuel was reluctant to help, because he saw him as the embodiment of the worst traits he saw in humanity, but than decided to give him a chance and was incredibly surprised when he realized how similar they are. That man was called Jonathan Campbell, lawyer who just few months ago started his office two streets away from Samuel´s clinic and the problem he was facing was that he was in fact serial killer infamous in the East Blue under the name Michael Gladio. At first, Samuel thought about him as about another delusional patient but the longer he was talking to him, the more certain he was that what Michael is saying to him is actually true. And what was even more scary, his truth was so alluring that just after few months, Samuel found himself on the verge of madness again. So to protect himself and client he did everything that was in his powers to help him suppress his tendencies and to lead normal life. He even went so far that he offered Michael an opportunity to train with him to get rid of some of his anger, however was surprised again when his patient responded that he is already practicing Martial arts for several years. Interested in Michael´s technique and confident in his, Samule challenged him to a duel and lost miserably. Curious and driven by his long time suppressed passion, he asked Michael for few lessons. He agreed and the two of them became a friends.
