Hello, a quick note first. I'm Haiku's girlfriend, and this is my first attempt in to this sort of thing, so I may mess up a bit sorry :P
*EDIT* hopefully this isnt "godmoding"? (I think thats what Hiaku said :P)
*EDIT2* Thanks to Shadowbright for helping me put this together

General Information

Name: Samantha "Samus" Smythe
AKA: Sam, Sammy, Samus
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Place of Birth: North America
Inoculated: Yes
Faction: Stark

Personality: Samantha is a bubbly, bright, and optimistic, if a little naive. She believes that everything is good and peaceful, and this has led to her being tricked by people. She always has a bright smile on, and a cheerful attittude, which seems to be either very annoying, or very cute. She likes "pretty" things, nature, and animals. She origninally intended to be a animal vet, or work on her families ranch, looking after the animals. She has been known to hit on random people that she finds pretty, than gets very quiet, blushed, and walks away quickly.

History: After a year at the surgery Samantha's parents’ admitted the Ranch was failing. They'd made lots of gambles to help Sam with her college and unfortunately they'd failed. Sam tried to work harder at the surgery to keep them from bankruptcy and although she kept them from immediate danger she'd need to keep up her efforts for several years before the farm would be safe. Her boss heard of a new job for her and even thought she was his best vet he knew her family could do with the money. Sam jumped at the chance, it was enough money to save the ranch and she'd be helping with ground breaking research. She wasn't so happy about the animal testing but she'd be able to ease their pain and it was for an important cause.
Samantha arrived by about the 5th Gen, there were only chimps, dolphins, pigs, rats, drophisila and a lone wolf left for her to care for. A few of her other co-workers told her of how they'd be pretty much a zoo here before but most of the testing had been done. She heard rumours that it wasn't done with, it had simply moved on to the next stage: humans. Sam figured it was just her bored colleges’ imagination that had sparked the rumours and so ignored them. She was here to earn money for the ranch, she didn't care that her job was mundane.
After two years there were no more dolphins and chimps and the wolf could now become a human. Sam had fewer co-workers but she still saw them around the complex, she felt happy for them and appreciated the peace from their rumours. She missed home but the people who were left in the Animal research department had now become a sort of second family and at least there were some animals to keep her spirits up.
One morning she was cleaning out the dead flies when she was approached by Katriane Westwood, head of the department. Kat usually kept to herself but always made sure her staff was happy and everything was running smoothly. However this was not what Kat wanted with Sam that morning. Kat confessed that she trusted Sam and would like her help in the coming weeks. When Sam agreed as she respected Kat but questioned what for Kat told her what she'd recently been told. That the research in the facility had moved on to humans. They were willing or criminals but they were in shock and disorientated so they were unhappy about being here. It all made sense in Sam and she was just happy to be Kat's chosen. As for the human experiments being questionable, if Kat thought they were fine so did Sam. She'd always cared for animals more than humans, who weren't her family. Kat told her that she might bring injured animals with her or might become injured herself. Sam knew Cecillia usually looked after Kat but Kat said that as Sam was now working with her she'd be her doctor. It was just easier that way. Sam loved Kat's other form when she was shown and couldn't wait to meet the other inoculees to see theirs. She hoped there was a horse, she missed horses.



Position: Smamantha's job within the test, is to make sure that all the Inoculee's forms are healthy. Be it from fights, or tests gone wrong, she is one of the people who look after them. She also assits one man, Dr. Blome, with his tests on the powers of the subjects.

Physical Information

Visual Appearance (completely optional):

Physical Appearance

Human:Samantha is very short, only 5'2", and very light. Her Curvy body is usually covered in billowy clothing, hiding her curves. She has some slight muscle defintion becuase of her years working on her parents ranch. She has long red hair, which is usually in a ponytail, and
piercing green eyes.

Mink: She is what she always wanted to be as a child, a small, cute, furry animal! In her mink form, Samantha is sleek and thin, able to dart between all sorts of things, and is very fast.

Clothing and Armor: She wears big billowy clothes, like robes, to cover her curves, or sometimes a jumpsuit, when she has to be around the animals.

Weapons: The only kinds of weapon skills she has, is with things like a shovel, or a pot and pan. She detests violence.

Inoculated only

Alternate Form: In her mink form, Samantha is able to almost dissapear. Her furs acts like chameleon skin, making apear like her surroundings. It isnt that hard for her to do it, but if she moves very much, the effect fades.

Abilities: As a mink, Samantha is able to blend into her surroundings and hide really well.

This is a good start to a character, but I think it needs a bit more development.

1) Little detail: while we've been using 'Stark' as a cover-all term for the 'bad guys,' Stark is actually the merc group that provides the base security. McFarland and the doctors are, for the most part, not Stark employees. Perhaps rework how she came to be part of this RP.

2) What exactly is her job in the RP? You said she's a vet (or is she only a nurse?) so I assume she's there to help examine the inoculees' animal forms. That said, make sure you are specific about what she's going to be doing.

3) Her personality type doesn't see to lend itself to working with kidnapped victims who were forcibly drugged and imprisoned indefinitely against their will. What keeps her working for these people in these conditions?

4) You say that she is bubbly, optimistic, and naive - and that she is very sensual and gets what she wants. These are not mutually exclusive by any means, but I am curious as to why she is the way she is. Only some of that can be explained by 'big ranching family.' I want to know more about the way her personality was shaped by her history. Also, "sensual" is a very vague word in this context. I don't know if you mean sensual as in epicure or as in promiscuous or both (or neither). While we've been playing this RP as PG-13, you can still be slightly more specific than just "sensual."

5) How long has she been working on this project? How far did she get in her education? Did she graduate from college? How long has she been out in the work force in her chosen field? Does she have plans to get her doctorate in veterinary medicine?

6) Why did she agree to be inoculated? She had to have known the dangers and risks of human experimentation, especially at such an early stage. What made her decide the risks were worth it?


Of course, I might be reading this wrong. You say you're working in a lab up in the mountains, implying you are not working in McF's secret base - which also leads me to beg clarification on where Samantha is and how she is/became involved in the McF project.

Overall, I like what I'm seeing, but while I like the journal format, there's a lot of stuff in the journal (and a little bit of the history before) that doesn't mesh with the plot/setup. The big ones are: there are generation overlap problems, in general the eyes, we don't have the transformation amulets here (yet, though now you've given me an idea...), and in general that's just not how employees get inoc'd (esp. the apparent brainwashing). I'm guessing that most of that was in response to Dante's question of why would someone with Samantha's personality would be working here, which is good, but definitely needs work.
As an idea, since she's supposed to be a vet-type person, we have a character at the moment (Katriane, played by Shadowbright) who's head of animal research and has just the other day (RP time) partially discovered the human side of the experiments. You could PM Shadow to ask about what Samantha might be doing under/in-relation-to Katriane (Kat's a Stark employee rather than an official member of the project), which may give you an opening to better explain why Samantha joined on the project in the first place.

Oh geez, I am SO sorry. I guess I didn't see a reply in the thread after my last post and completely forgot to check if the app had been updated. >.<''
It looks alright to me.
So, so sorry, again.

I know a second approval hasn't come in, but due to 'iffy' activity from so many people I'm going to admin-power this and say
