Sam Flynn | TRON: Legacy | 7/8

[perfectpredator.livejournal.com]

Personality:

Sam's not quite the person he seems to be on the outside. Due to his father's disappearance back in the late 80s, Sam became a lot more angry at everything, and started to shut himself away. He lashed out at people in school, getting into fights too often. He often challenged authority. He just stopped caring about most things, even himself, as was shown in the way he'd pull risky stunts, starting with a skateboard, and moving up to a motorcycle, as well as jumping off of buildings and from helicopters.

After the death of his grandparents which, thus, left him without a family, Sam became reclusive and even more anti-social, though the anti-social and reclusive behavior got even worse in July and Septmeber, which was when his father disappeared and when his mother died. He never got over what happened to them but then, they were his parents. It's only natural that it would be something that he wouldn't really get past. He didn't like the idea of being in the spotlight - or any sort of light, for that matter - and wanted to simply fade into the background. He walled himself off from society. He didn't even live near everyone else, choosing, instead, to live in a garage on the water front. Even his pranks are usually pulled anonymously, even though getting caught tends to often change that.

Things changed, though, when Sam got to the Grid. It no longer paid to be anti-social. Working with people was the only way to get out of the Grid alive. Just getting his see his father again seemed to fix some things for him. He became a little more open with things, and started to depend a little more on others. He never really got over his need to challenge authority, though, and even often challenged his father, even though he knew Kevin knew better than him about the goings on in the Grid, given that he'd spent twenty years / over a thousand cycles there. He also never really got over his impulsive nature, or tendency to make rash, and even dangerous, decisions. That, though, was almost as much of a help, as it was a hindrance.

Sam even ended up starting to feel a sense of responsibility, and decided to take his place at Encom's head. He still probably wouldn't be making much in the way of public appearances for Encom, but reintroducing himself into society after so long alone wasn't really a jump in with both feet kinda thing. Even for someone like Sam. Or rahter, especially for someone like Sam.

Other:

To match up a little better with the other Tron muses (though the timing won't quite be the same), who seem to be from before Sam got to the Grid, I'll be taking Sam from sometime between the April announcement of Space Paranoids Online, and the July release of Encom/Flynn OS12.
