The timeline of his default are is a huge gap for his full upbringing and his 20s timeline. Personality changes, relationships, foster parents, life situations, connections, growth experiences and his self discovery is a space to explore and make up together (pls dm me if you’d be interested).

Holds his Name with Pride. the only remembrance of their mother before being put in the system. ‘Gyeongsu’ is his Korean name.

he was given his english name alongside his brother at birth. However, to honour their culture, their mother still gave them their korean names to remind them of their identity. which was documented on their files per legality, But did not use or acknowledge often growing up. It’s only later on in his 20s, around 23, sam does explore his culture further and his curiosity of his name pushes his longing to feel a sense of belonging and identity. / sam is cis man, he/him pronouns, exploring bisexuality.

Backstory (also serves as Interactions Guide)

sam, 7 at the time and his younger brother seth at 4 were surrendered by their father through the system after giving up on his responsibility of caring for them 4 years after their mother's death. they were put through the system that did not treat them well and jumping from foster home to another. the two refused to be separated as they only had each other and usually caused trouble to stay together. sam being the age that he already was had more knowledge of being surrendered by his father, and often felt the immense pressure and burden of knowing that their father "gave them up." this has loomed over sam's whole life, knowing that he was the eldest, and fully taking the responsibility of a both guardian and brother to seth. this became his full time job and priority, was to ensure that seth didn't feel the burden of being dumped by their father as they grew up through their youth and always made sure he felt loved, and cared for as a parent and brother would. sam knew nothing else but to ensure his little brother was never alone.

over the course of their youth, they struggled to be adopted or stay in a foster family which meant the constant return to the system for the brothers until eventually sam turns 21. due to his age, he is let go by the system to officially fend for himself. with very minimal education and resources to go from. with seth turning 18, both of them turning and being at their golden age where they should be celebrating, instead they were faced with the possibility of separation. due to this, with no proper experience of jobs and the minimal education they both had, sam pursued to jump plenty of jobs, in the hopes of getting seth out himself to become his legal guardian. he skipped pursuing further education and went straight to working odd jobs, but with his intention also came with fear and pressure that it was taking too long to make ends meet for himself and the goal to get his brother out.

leading with his emotions and heart first, than thinking of the consequences, easy money became the route choice even if he knew, but easy money meant quick and instead of patience he chose to accept jobs that were not so legal which lead his name to become an easy target for precincts and has eventually had major setbacks to landing him a legal job in the future. but if doing this meant he could visit seth EVERY DAY, he chose to always go for the quick money, that eventually faced seth with questionable concerns.

some jobs involved the biggest contributor to his quick money were: drug dealing, body guard/errand boy to major crime lords, corruption involvement with cops, sometimes cops have used him as a bounty or messenger for undercover work. illegal underground fighting was a regular commitment he ended up doing (partly because it’s the one thing he thinks he’s good at, and lowkey enjoyed). along with that he worked local butchery's, various hospitality jobs, janitor but often would get fired due to his impatience, due to this he stuck out underground fights a lot. he means well, and most of what he does was for his brother, to reunite with him, to prove that he as the older brother can take care of him, but his execution of wanting quick money and life overpassed his moral compass over time especially when desperate circumstances came to be.

living situations often were with "friends' he's met, or somewhat trusted to just sleep in, from apartments to motels, depending on the circumstances and flow of his job, he tends to jump from one place to another without telling seth of his real wellbeing. after a year and a half give or take of overworking and burning himself out whilst visiting Seth every day turned into every week until eventually once every month. due to his own struggles to sustain himself, his relationships along the way and his stability were often shaken or untrusting, this eventually what starts the tension between the brothers. trying to find a better legal job around 22, seth being 19 only a year after, his last visit eventually became the very thing he feared all the time he promised to get his brother out, a note left behind that he no longer needed him.

he still continued to sometimes participate in underground fighting in secret, with most cops knowing his status and some cops often placed bets on him, from 25-30, now at present time he works as a security guard, freelance and was the only legal job that could fit his background and past offences, he's worked for plenty of organisations that required securities, lawfirms, various businesses and still important names.
