PERSONALITY

Samantha Black acts like she's pissed off at the world. She's got more defense mechanisms then the U.S. Army and is armed to the teeth with aggression and sarcasm. She's got tons of attitude and a healthy dose of disrespect for authority. She is not really adaptable to change, because her whole life up to this point has pretty much been scheduled. In way that fuels some of her better qualities, some that contradict others, like the ability to naturally roll with a situation once she's neck deep in it. She complains. She's spiteful. She lashes out. Basically, she's a fucking teenager trying to figure her shit out. Except that she's a teenager thrust into a destiny she never signed up for and fears is going to get her killed--again. She also lashes out because being Spectre-Imbued means that's she's rarely heard and goes unseen (she's not invisible), which is hell and deeply frustrating to someone whose been in limelight for her entire life and is used to getting her own way.

APPEARANCE

Long white-blond hair and pale blue eyes now that she's Spectre-Imbued. She's got a petite frame but is almost 5'8. Her heels often add another 5 inches.

ABOUT

My life was pretty set, you know? It was gonna be good. Parents shoved me in front of a camera when I was 3 months old. Ads and commercials at first, then, when I was a little older, gap-toothed family friendly shows on the Disney Channel. Basically, I've been working since I was born. Modeling contracts with Elle, guest appearances on good shows and steady roles on bad ones. It's when I fronted a my own band that shit really started to take off. The pen barely dried on the paper where I signed my name for my first record deal before I was killed. The Collective calls it being "awakened". We're not dead. Just not entirely human either. Mortal, yes. Fuck if I understand it all. But we get awakened in each life, with a destiny set to gather intelligence and hunt the monsters that prey on humanity. Look at me! Do I look like a fucking "agent" to you? This, is bullshit. Apparently, I was "awakened" way too young. And, compared to the assholes I work with, I'm one of the youngest Collective agents in their entire history, which is pretty messed up since they've been around since...like, forever. I can only remember two other previous lives as an agent. And they were pretty damn short. Yeah, did I forget to mention that we get born into this lifestyle each time we get reincarnated (roll that up in your religious dogma and smoke it) and can remember it? FML. 

Samantha Black was born in Seattle, Washington during her mother's business trip as a representative for a talent company. While inconvenient, her mother was back at work in NYC four days later, where Samantha grew up. Shoving her daughter into the limelight before any talents even became apparent proved fruitful, so by the time that Samantha was 10, her mom quit her job to became her full time manager and dedicate her time to representing her daughter. Like the story often goes in these hollywood tales of woe, things were fine until Samantha came into her teenage years and started to rebel. Of course there are reasons for this. That her momager was riding on her financial coattails, didn't help and the grueling schedule, while fun, was taking catching up to her. Sam started flirting with cocaine. She stole shit for fun. Rehab was just another opportunity to get on shows like Celebrity Rehab (which her mother turned down). 

What she didn't know at the time was that the music she wrote, often times with metaphorical themes about goth imagery--vampires, zombies, werewolves, was really her subconscious trying to come to grips with its previous life as a Collective agent. That's how the Collective first identified her. The cover of her first (and last) album was the ouroboros, the organization's symbol. 

Samantha Black was abducted while on a cocaine bender from her pad. What she doesn't know, is that her death was even less natural then usual for a Collective agent. It was orchestrated by Callum Winter under the orders from higher ups--taboo. He set her up to die by a poltergeist because the Collective needed a new Spectre-Imbued agent. Unknown to Callum, Command doesn't expect her to live long. Not if they have their way. Again. She's being groomed to undertake a mission they don't expect her to come back from. But Samantha Black always liked surprising people.
