Character Background: Samuel Winchester was born on May 2nd, 1983 in Lawrence, Kansas to his mother, Mary, his father, John, and his older brother, Dean. Unbeknownst to pretty much everyone, when she was younger, Mary made a deal with a demon to bring John back to life, and ultimately promised away her own life. This deal came to fruition when Sam was exactly six months old, and the yellow-eyed demon, Azazel, snuck into his nursery. Azazel dripped some of his own blood into the baby's mouth, and was then interrupted by a frantic Mary, who was trying to protect her son. She was pinned to the ceiling and cut open, however, and John, Dean, and baby Sammy were barely able to flee the house before it exploded into flame.
For the next (roughly) eighteen years of his life, Sam spends his time with his brother and father, traveling across the country in search of the supernatural. It actually isn’t until he’s eight years old that Sam learns what’s “really out there;” up until this point, he believed their mother had died in a car accident. Thus begins the Winchester’s family outings. While other kids grow up with sports, friends, and grades, Sam and Dean grow up with cheap motels, rifle training, and a plethora of monsters. Dean is the more obedient one, knowing his duty to their father from the get-go, and it’s Sam who is the more rebellious, questioning son. He doesn’t understand why there doesn’t seem to be an option for them to live a normal, “apple-pie” life. Arguments with his father and brother, and his growing sense of discomfort at their differences, lead him to leave the family and go off to Stanford, where he studies pre-law. He begins an entirely new life there, proving to be a very successful student, and meeting Jessica Moore, who he dates for about a year and a half. Sam never tells her about his family and their “hunting,” though.
Dean shows up days before Sam has an interview scheduled for law school. Sam is stand-offish and cold toward his brother at first, until Dean mentions that their father was on a hunting trip, and that he hasn’t been back in a couple of weeks. Leaving Jessica at their apartment with the promise of being back before the interview, Sam goes off with Dean. They don’t find their father, but they do discover and defeat a Woman in White who had been haunting a town. During this week, Sam falls right back into the routine, lying to cops, investigating, researching, fighting off the monster. However, he still insists that he go back to Stanford, despite Dean’s insistence that he return to the “family business.” When Sam does go back to the apartment, though, he finds Jessica on the ceiling, just as their mother had been years and years ago. She is killed in the same way, and their apartment bursts into flames, leaving Sam standing out on the street with Dean, and with a yearning for revenge.
Over the next year, the brothers fight a ton of different supernatural beings as they search for their dad. Along the way, they do encounter him a few times, though he believes it too dangerous for them to be together while he hunts down the yellow-eyed demon that killed their mother, and possibly also Jess. The three eventually reunite, and prepare to kill the yellow-eyed demon in Salvation, Iowa. It possesses John, though, and Sam isn’t able to use the Colt (a gun that can kill “everything”) to destroy it. The demon escapes from John’s body unscathed, and the Winchesters leave disappointed and injured. On the drive away a truck smashes into the car, wrecking their cherished Impala and massively injuring them all (though Dean, most severely.) They’re rushed to a hospital, where John ultimately makes a deal with the yellow-eyed demon, trading his own soul for Dean’s. So, while Dean miraculously returns to health, John is found dead, and the two brothers have to pick up where he left off.
As they continue their “saving people, hunting things” spree, searching for the yellow-eyed demon, Sam begins to develop psychic powers. It began with dreams a few months before Jessica’s death, where he envisioned her dying on the ceiling, just as it happened. Sam begins seeing others’ deaths as they occur, and then later, before they happen. Other abilities that surface are his immunity to the psychic abilities of other “special children” like himself, and to the Croatoan virus. It is revealed that before his death, John told Dean that the demon plans to use Sam as a soldier, and that if Sam becomes evil and Dean can’t stop him, he may have to kill him. As the second season continues, Sam’s powers become stronger, and he meets others like him. These “special children” all end up in an abandoned town together, where it’s revealed that the last man standing will be the one to lead the yellow-eyed demon’s army.
Abilities/Special Powers: He has proficiency with firearms, physical combat, lock-picking, and computer hacking. As far as powers, Sam has psychic visions of people before they die (as long as the Yellow-Eyed demon is alive.) He is also immune to the mysterious Croatoan virus, has a destined role as Lucifer’s vessel, and is immune to demon possession due to a tattoo on his chest.
Third-Person Sample: There was a sixty percent chance he'd end up married to his laptop, Sam thought wearily. Provided he wasn’t dead in a few years, of course. Yep, the amount of time he spent with his eyes scanning the glowing screen was innumerable. Naturally, it was all for research and hunt-related searches, unlike Dean, who snuck it away for… less savory purposes. Rolling his eyes at the thought, the younger Winchester leaned forward in his seat, brows coming together in a characteristic expression of his. This particular Ohio city had been swept through with some bizarre sickness—a plague, maybe? But nothing of biblical proportions, of course, and it was probably monster-induced. Somehow.
Sam narrowed his eyes, scrolling through endless (and mostly trivial) Google search results. While his brother was out interviewing witnesses whose friends or families suffered from the Blue Virus— that’s what they were calling it, apparently, because of the tint the victim’s skin took on... While Dean was out doing that, Sam was glued to his chair, trying to find examples of this ailment’s presence in the past. And he wasn't having much luck, if he was being honest with himself.
“Dammit,” he muttered on an exhale, leaning back. Dean chalked the whole thing up to some kind of zombie-like event, but that was a vague place to start. It definitely wasn’t related to the Croatoan virus; they’d had enough exposure to that one to know for sure. No, it was something else, something new. And as usual, it fell on them to discern what kind of freakish illness was sweeping the place. So, Sam leaned forward again, click-clicking his way through useless cult websites, not finding much of anything on their mysterious illness.
“Guess it’s time for a call to Bobby,” he sighed in a defeated sort of way, and got up with a wearied sort of expression. He’d prefer to figure things out by himself, but they hadn’t made much progress sifting through all the possibly-relevant zombie lore, and their pseudo-father always seemed to have answers. Besides, the sooner they got through this, the sooner they could work it out, the less people had to die. And that was the most important thing, above it all... "saving people, hunting things," right?
First-Person Sample: [The device turns on, and the curious face of a one Sam Winchester appears over the feed. His eyebrows are furrowed in concentration, and he turns the thing over once or twice before clearing his throat to speak.]
Uh… hey? Not sure if anyone’s around to hear me, but it’s worth a shot. I have no idea where I am, or how I even got here, so… if anyone actually does know something, I’d love to hear it. My name’s Sam, not that it will probably matter.
[He shrugs half-heartedly.] Oh, and—if anyone’s seen a guy named Dean? Shorter than me, leather jacket, tough guy attitude? He’s my brother.
[Then, in an undertone:] Hope he’s okay. [Sam clears his throat again.] Guess I shouldn't be surprised, at this point. It's not as if we haven't woken up in some bizarre new place before...
