Sam Winchester || Supernatural || Challenge App || 8/?

[precogging.livejournal.com]

Sam was angry when Dean first dragged him back into a hunter's life, but has since come to the realization that it's their job to protect each other. He needs Dean, and Dean needs him – they're a team, a great team – but more importantly, they're family. They take care of each other and work together, and Dean's presence in his life has been the only constant he's ever had. Even after the period of time when Sam was at Stanford and had no direct contact with his family, they gravitated naturally back together as brothers. When Dean made a deal to bring Sam back to life and Sam found out that his brother only had a year to live, he became nearly obsessed with and consumed by the need to discover some way to keep his brother alive and get him out of the deal. It was a struggle for him, knowing that his brother gave his soul and his life to protect him. Sam feels like every effort he made was futile; he felt helpless because he couldn't save his brother.

Dean's death has devastated Sam. He's obsessed with finding a way to bring Dean back or get revenge, and has turned to alcohol to try to numb the pain. He's become mostly cut off from the people that they kept contact with, turning into a recluse. He continues to feel like all of his efforts to help Dean and save him from Hell are wasted. He's tried everything, and he feels like a failure because he cannot save his brother. He would give his life for Dean. His brother has always been his rock. There's no other person in the world that has his loyalty so fiercely, even if it wavers during the times when they really butt heads on what's right and wrong to do.

Despite his best efforts to remain on the side of good and stay strong in his convictions, Sam can be kind of gullible. Because of his ability to see the grey area between the black and white of good and evil, he's more easily persuaded to listen to that little whispering voice in his ear, over his shoulder. That's evident when Ruby shows up, professing that she can help them. She draws Sam in with (false) promises of being able to save Dean. Sam really shows that he can be quite malleable with the right amount of bribery dangled in his face. He's very quick to believe her when she picks out his weakness and exploits it. It makes him vulnerable. He gives people a chance much more quickly and easily than Dean will. He asks questions first, and shoots later – much unlike his brother. He's more prone to question an off-putting good guy than he is to question an appealing bad guy.

Other: Sam eats way healthier than his brother. He hearts salad. He's also much more technologically apt than his brother is. He enjoys his laptop a lot and is awkwardly protective over it. His major at Stanford was Pre-Law, going into Law, and his girlfriend made awesome cookies before she died. He misses them sometimes. Also, at his canon point, he's kind of a drunken idiot out for getting his brother back from hell so he sure might make some really dumb drunk posts until someone smacks him out of it. (Also, as a humorous but interesting side note: every woman he has sex with dies. Seriously. Jess died. Madison died. Ruby died. Sam Winchester's sexual relations are a death sentence.)

⇨ ⇨ ⇨;; powers/abilities/stuff he's good at;; On top of being a good (demon) hunter and a good fighter, Sam also has some supernatural abilities. They lay dormant for most of his life, but when he hit age 22, he began to have visions and dreams that were precognitive. After Azazel (the Yellow-Eyed demon) was killed, he no longer had these visions. However, if he were to tap into the power he has (thanks to the demon blood that courses through him because of having it fed to him as an infant) and with the ingestion of more demon blood, he would possess the ability to not only see the future in his dreams, but to control forms of telekinesis, exorcise demons with his mind, or even kill them. He's unable to do any of these things at present. What he does have are occasional blips of the precognition that he had formerly, but they're not painful and prominent anymore, nor do they happen with much frequency.
