⨹ There and Back Again: Samuel was formerly a Bounty Hunter, now an experienced re-emerging one, with a healthy pool of credits to provide for his new life, and the experience to boot - though his identity was meticulously hidden in preparation for an eventual permanent retirement. Much of his training routine was inspired by Mandalorian mentors and the culture's practices. As such, he has a good handle when it comes to combat, along with the usage of a variety of weaponry and other such offensive items - even against Force Sensitives. In this regard, he is something of a 'Jack-of-all-Trades.' However, he may not be as skilled when he faces off against the more fanatical practitioners of hand-to-hand combat.
⨹ Powertech Engineer: While a large portion of bounty hunters are chalked up to brutes with guns, Sam has the mechanical know-how to surpass pointing and shooting a gun. Born out of a desire to remain mostly independent in their line of work, they even went so far as to create their own technology and forge their own armor - oftentimes they rely on technology to give them the edge in a particularly nasty fight. He typically opts for what is considered by the Bounty Hunting Community as 'Powertech' - unique and experimental (often prototype) equipment, usually of custom design that differs from individual to individual. These designs are often inspired by pre-existing equipment, just with some added flair and personal preferences. He also dabbled a tad with droids, though his designs when it comes to such are not nearly as elegant nor refined as others. They continue to practice this craft to this day, both as a hobby and to continue holding an advantage in his battles. Oftentimes, Samuel uses the vast amount of options provided to him by technology to adapt to many a situation, or otherwise find a solution to a situation he faced and struggled with. They frequently browse the HoloNet, if only to know what equipment's out there, and how to recognize it. It helps to know thy enemy, as they say.
⨹ Ex Force-Sensitive 'Hunter': Considered a niche specialization within Bounty Hunting by most, Samuel often found himself at odds with deranged, exiled, and particularly aggressive force sensitives of incredibly varied walks of life, either during Bodyguard or Hunter work. After having to engage them multiple times, he eventually came to rough understandings of how to recognize and deal with the Force abilities he typically had encounters with - reaping the profitable benefits of doing so. This was, and is, mostly done through his understandings of technology. However, he is largely unexposed to more exotic or niche uses of the Force, and his understanding of the Force is surface level at most.

± Complicated Moral Compass: In stark contrast to his younger self, he has a far stronger moral compass. While he can come off as gruff or intimidating, he is good-willed at heart, and shies away from particularly devious activities. Yet, at the same time, he is willing to undertake others depending on their value to him - either in credits, or whatever sense of justice he has. This clashing of ideologies and past values make his decision-making process sometimes unpredictable, or hypocritical.
± Thrill Seeker: To this day, Samuel struggles with the habit of thrill-seeking. This usually classifies as 'Bounty Hunting' or other such contractual-based activities, as it used to be his old way of letting off steam. After attempting to maintain a new domestic lifestyle, he has found it increasingly difficult to maintain without complications.
± Individualist: Given past experiences and his natural wariness, Samuel dislikes being tied down by any one specific avenue of work, affiliation, or otherwise. He values his ability to choose for himself what to do, and would fight tooth and nail if anyone were to try to take that from him unwillingly. This makes it somewhat difficult for him to involve himself with certain groups or people, as interactions with him can sometimes be sporadic or inconsistent. At the same time, it is helpful if said group were to suddenly collapse, as he would be able to go about his business with one of the other options kept at his disposal.

⨺ All for One: A stronger moral compass means that Samuel is often merciful, perhaps detrimentally so at times. This fluctuates greatly depending on the circumstance, but it remains a self-imposed thorn in his side. In addition, he is unlikely to share his burdens, and can at times be overprotective of innocents, or those he cares about.
⨺ Cautious Paranoia: Outwardly, Sam can come off as a relaxed individual. However, the instincts they have tuned over the years entered into a much more sociable atmosphere does not mix well. Anyone could be a threat, a potential assassin lying in wait, whether they look it or not. It takes a handful of conditions for Samuel to ever truly feel ‘safe’. It is the titular reason why he attempted to take as much of his old equipment with him in his new career as possible. To an extent, this has served to help him deal with threats, but it can be straining on a mental state. This feeling is often remedied by his armor.
⨺ Force-Sensitive Bias: Ironically, Sam has a deep-seated mistrust of any and all things pertaining to the force. He does not understand the deeper workings of the Force or have a full understanding of a Force Sensitive's arsenal pertaining to it, but has found it to (MOSTLY) be associated with only bad things because it's practically the only thing he's seen done with it - the crushing of one's windpipe with but a gesture comes to mind.
⨺Mandalorian Bias: Though Samuel once partook in and enjoyed the culture, as well as borrowed ideas and armor designs from it, Mandalorians and their culture have since been fouled in his mind after numerous encounters with violent, bloodthirsty Mandalorians. While he does not like to judge books by their covers, the selective planetary genocide on Lyran he escaped from was the last straw. He is unlikely to easily trust Mandalorians of any kind of caliber, and Samuel will (at the very least initially) be very wary with any of these individuals, (namely if they are from the Enclave) until they give him a reason for him to believe otherwise.

Alignment: True Neutral
Having once led a cold, emotionless life that eschewed morals for the sake of efficiency, most folk who know 'Samuel Exel' will find a mild-mannered, reserved man who commonly works as a Bartender. He is rarely spoken to outside of his job, unless you have already spoken to him a couple times before, as the man holds a wary demeanor when it comes to such. Paranoid of comeuppance for a brutal past life, Samuel has difficulty expressing himself at first to most people he interacts with for the first time. He prefers to make careful observations before taking steps, though at times they can come off to be intrusive or nosy.
Friends of the man, of which he holds few due to how he acts initially around new folk, would find a sympathetic and compassionate individual with plenty more to say than one would assume. Be it to strangers or those acquainted to him, he often tries to help where he can, either with select few words of advice, or more prolonged discussions that his advice might be able to suit. His patience is surprisingly large at times, with a previously short temper having been cooled by the time spent in reflection whilst Bartending.
Those who know 'Gorian,' the Bounty Hunter alias he typically goes as, will find an efficient and passionate Mercenary with a cold exterior. He is driven, determined, and pragmatic - typically motivated by a sense of justice or moral code that the man himself cannot always pin down. This often makes him pursue bounties that involve criminals, terrorists, and other such malignant groups that harm the common public. Of course, he is also motivated by credits, but this is mostly for the sake of personal reasons. Not devoid of emotion, Samuel attempts to provide meagre aid where he can, in ways he sees fit, making him at times unpredictable with his decisions. This is accentuated with how he typically never fully ties himself to any specific group or affiliation. He attempts his best to read between the lines of many of the situations he finds himself in, and is typically a tad more merciful compared to his peers of whatever battle he finds himself in. Manage to invoke his ire, however, and opponents will find a fierce and versatile foe, dogged in his resolution for whatever that moment might hold.
