Samuel Gulliver

"All can be magical but all can potentially be explained"

- One of Sam's common taglines

Samuel Burton Gulliver is 2015-introduced and all-around character. Sam is the successor of Lemuel Gulliver, the protagonist of Travels Into Several Remote Nations Of The World In Four Parts, aka Gulliver's Travels. A Roybel supporter of both alliances' arguments, he wishes to at least follow a plan with rights to create deviation, which of course within safety of himself and other fellow fairy tales around him.

Personality
Samuel is a straight foward, 'down to the rabbit hole' kind of guy. Logic is what he lives for, what he craves and what he wants others to see. Which is why he has this obsession with finding the facts behind everything yet explained, often through calculative personal researches to rediscover existing facts or come up with new theories. That is also the reason why he speaks in an academic voice, with hopes that it will be easy for people to understand him and his ideas. Some of the other advantages that he also possess are recklessness and adaptibility. Rarely would he back down from a challenge, as he thrives on any given situation he can get his hands into and he's willing to pay the price of his actions, it's his decision to accept the challenges, after all. He'd go all the way. However, Sam does go overboard sometimes, especially when he ends up talking about problems in a scientific perspective. His determination leads him into forcing others onto the beliefs that is considered blasphemy in a realm bounded by magic such as this, squeezing in those concepts in which they probably won't understand for they current haven't learnt to accept it, as with other controversal ordeals such as wether one can choose a life beyond replicating the actions of their predessors and not finding anything new. Because of that, even though he has an extrovert's nature, making friends isn't easy and those he actually has for buddies do have a bit of hate for him as much as he has for them, though he tries not to directly show it. Cold wars are common if you are someone he knows personally. But that doesn't mean he's always cold to people. Samuel might be a bit too assertive. Still, if given the chance he'd listen (eventually) to see other's opinions and thinking, adding to his own knowledge and maybe lead to getting his acceptance as a friend. And when he does, he usually cares a lot about them.

Interests and Hobbies

 * Sam fancies himself a practical joker, often with some science jokes and references.
 * He likes collecting minitures (like tiny figurines, models, etc...), to do personal Rps simulating his future experiences with people so he could better understand it and not make a fool of himself when he actually faces such situations. (That includes dolls, but don't tell anyone!).
 * Sam does occasionally wear wigs, many of which are styled and woven by him from a variety of synthetic fibers. The other few are heirlooms from his father. He prefers his own creations to his father's handmedowns because horsehair is easily infested with lice, wether if it's regularly cleaned, while those pesky bugs do not enjoy sitting around in a plastic home (the synthetic fibers). The reason Sam learnt the trade in the first place was because he hated wearing the lice infested wigs passed on to him every year on legacy day and that he'd also like to cut the costs of going to the barber for a hairstyle renewal, with the risk of losing all his hair to chemicals.

Appearance
In general terms, here's what he lists of himself in his diary, it should be self-explanatory: But, if you really have to ask, he's this white human dude with tanned skin, blue eyes, wavy but tamed black hair who is absolutely normal in weight and height.
 * Name: Samuel Gulliver
 * Age: 16
 * Height: 5'9.5"
 * Weight:145 lbs
 * Hair: Black, wavy
 * Eyes: Blue
 * Species: Human
 * Skin: Caucasion, mild tan
 * BMI:21.4=>Normal Weight

Voice
Welsh actor Matt Ryan, whose notable roles are John Constantine in Constantine and Edward Kenway from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, is a pretty good choice for voicing Sam in English considering his accent and tone. Sam's voice would be Matt's normal speaking voice with a bit of the emphasis used by Kenway and Constantine.

How the Story Goes
Main article:Gulliver's Travels

How does Samuel come into it?
Sam was born sometime after the most recent edition of Gulliver's Travels took place, when his dad was around his late 50s. He spent his childhood living in mainly in Nottinghamshire, like all those who came before him.

Family
Sam lives with his parents, with mother doing most of the work around and a mainly bedridden father, whom has grown pretty tired of most things due to his age, though he stills tries to get out of his study for a short walk every once in a while. His father mainly plays the teaching role, while his mother plays the guardian role. Mr Gulliver takes care of the stuff that gets in Sam's head, which explains Sam's cynical nature. Sam was homeschooled prior highschool, due to the lack of schools providing scientific teachings required for his destiny (also because Lennard does not want his son to fall for those illusions and trickery of false wizards and witches that could harm him, reminded of how gullible he himself was).

Dobrya Kost
His study partner at one of his extra classes, Dobrya's one of the first people whom he considers a friend. There's no surprise here, since most people are likely to make friends with those who sit near them or if they must cooperate with each other on a frequent basis. Though Sam did take a step further as to actually get to know Dobby (what he likes to call her) by talking to her about things here and there, resulting in them becoming rather good friends. They still don't exactly always agree on each other's views (Sam's like a scientist, Dobby's a witch in the literal sense) but they enjoy exchanging them nonetheless, it's great to see the world from multiple perspectives.

Pet
Sam owns a white-bellied sea eagle named Salvador, meaning savior, referencing the eagle that shalt carry him in his travel box in his destiny. Sam often spends his weekends hawking with the bird and teaching him new tricks.

Romance
Sam would go look for his own lady, if it weren't for his destiny of having a planned marriage. He's not too picky, but he'd love to have someone who really cares about him, would be nice if they could spend an equal life with him, not some one who is a big drag on his shoulders. Even though he may have feminine interests (which I can assure you, he's only using them for strategic reasons), Sam is in no way romantically attracted to other guys, not because he finds it weird but he actually doesn't feel anything too deep around them, other than just platonic interest.

Trivia

 * Samuel's theme song would be Weapon by Bastille.
 * He does believe that anything can be magical, but disagrees using magic in place of a logical explanation.
 * His birthday (June 20th) is on the same date as when the original Gulliver started his journey to Brodingnag. So two aniversaries in one. (XD) That also means he's a Gemini.
 * Sam is a big fan of Niel seaBasse Tyson.
 * Sam's diary is actually a pad of aquaNotes, which he usually sticks on the inside of his birdcage umbrella on a raindy day or during dragon slaying sessions in Hero Training ( mainly for water-based dragons). He mainly uses it to record extra personal notes and draw diagrams for his personal research, rarely writing about his day unless it has something to do with the research.

Quotes
"One can still be manly even if they practice a seemingly un-manly craft. So screw it!"

- This is the quickest thing he could think of when backing his weird interests.

"Raven didn't go poof when she refused to sign. But then again her mother never recieved the death their ancestors had gone through, instead she was still able to wreck havoc in Ever After without anyone going poof, not even her, though many tales have been disrupted, only to then recieve her own new punishment. Maybe signing the book never meant a thing! It's only an agreement to one's destiny, but not a mould in which one will live their future!"

- HIs startling hypothesis from his notes that shalt never be recognized

"As is custom among our kind, we do not plunge headlong into folly on the orders of a single madman, but act according to our own collective madness!"

- A favoured quote he stole about democracy. (You know who he got it from)
