APPEARANCE: A tall average built man well-groomed southern gentleman with dark brown hair; he keeps himself clean-shaven except for a neatly kept mustache. He has a bit of a rugged look to him like his square jaw and broad cleft chin. He seems to light up a room when he walks in. He has long thin fingers that help him perform delicate surgeries, his muscles are well toned and not overdeveloped due to his hobbies and lifestyle. While not muscular in appearance, he is well toned due to his exercise regime. Always wears a medical symbol around his neck.
BIOGRAPHY: Born on Ord Mantell, he spent his childhood in backcountry, woods, and swamps. He spent much of his childhood learning to “listen to nature” as his great-great-grandfather a medicine man used to say. Papou Renfroe taught Samuel much about herbs and the healing properties of various plants this knowledge would serve him well for the rest of his life as he used the knowledge to save a friend on his hiking trip when they were teens. Had Samuel not known that tiger moss stops bleeding and aids in healing wounds his friend would have either bleed or died from the resulting infection?
His father was the only doctor in any of the three small towns surrounding the Cathar reservation. The Family moved into a restored plantation house on 15 acres of land adjacent to the reservation. In addition to their education, Samuel and his brothers helped run the plantation to provide food and such for not only themselves but also to help supplement the local mission. He and his brothers learned much from their great great grandfather and father until their father’s death when Samuel the youngest of the group was only 15. Their father contracted a rare disease on one of his calls to the old-timers on the reservation. The old-timer was isolated and had little or no modern technology.
The funeral for Fred Jr. was on a dark and rainy day. Frank the oldest of the five brothers took a week off from his last year of medical school. Samuel was hurt more by his father’s sudden passing than anyone knew at the time including him. After the funeral, Frank went back to Med. School, Fred III, Cody, Will, and Samuel worked the farm on the plantation for a while. Cody and Will joined the Marines 2 months after the funeral. Samuel, who had already started using chewing tobacco almost daily, sank deeply into depression and began drinking heavily. His depressions lead to more drinking and drinking led to fit of rage. His father as a doctor had helped almost everyone in the county at one time or other many times for no cost or a simple meal but when his father needed help in Samuel’s mind at least no one tried to help him.
He began to lose his faith in humanity. This went on for 2 years until after one night of drinking and being badly beaten in a barroom brawl he passed put near his father is grave where Fred III and his maternal grandfather Elton Massey found him the next morning. They intervened and helped him get his drinking under control. He had always been the most talented in medicine of the group and they convinced him to carry on their father’s legacy and join the GADF as a medic, he gave this idea consideration over the next year as he became a civilian paramedic.
Two years after the intervention he enlisted in the GADF as a combat medic. He was in the top 5% of his medic class The brutality and disregard for life he saw during his first few combat engagements enraged him. He had inherited his Father’s moral compass. He relapsed in drinking for a few months after his first combat tour but managed to get back on track before it cost him. After he took both, the GADF advanced Combat medic and paramedic courses. Although he was top 12% of that class, his professors were amazed at his skills, particularly his ability to stay calm and collected under pressure. He was very knowledgeable about many of the subjects and was a wiz at improvising when a situation called for it.
He did some guest lectures at the academy. Meeting many of the cadets who wanted to fight the war had left many of the young people cold and indifferent with a distasteful attitude toward life in general. For Samuel’s taste, he also found he was not particularly fond of Force users or politicians. His backcountry charm made a hit with most of the female personnel he worked with. He graduated in the top 3% of his class in Advanced Combat Medic and paramedic courses.
PERSONALITY: He is capable of great compassion, yet also cranky, superstitious, and irrational. Professes a preference toward "good ol' fashioned country medicine". Passionate, sometimes cantankerous. Proud of his heritage, drinking problems, a bout of depression after the death of his father. Very dedicated to his profession, love of life. Passionate to the point he has long and spirited arguments on subjects he feels strongly about with anyone regardless of rank or position. He is always willing to help, always has a joke, a true country gentleman. When asked to do things outside his comfort zone in medicine he frequently reminds whoever is around he is a medic, not a (insert related profession here) . Idealistic belief in what The Galactic Alliance represents and what is created for and tries to keep those ideals intact.
