Name: Sam Jensen
Age: 17

History: Sam was an ordinary child that had an ordinary childhood, with two parents, a middle-class family, and a few siblings. However, he was always a bit of a slacker, not seeing any point in exerting more effort than he needed to do the bare minimum, preferring to spend his time playing video games instead. Hence, when he turned thirteen and received the Deep Ground Program, he planned to do only so much as to acquire just enough kills and maintain a slightly positive win/loss ratio to have a moderate future, just as his parents had. But when Sam actually entered the program for the first time, he realized something. The Deep Ground Program was just a video game. And it was fun as hell.

The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment he got from defeating other players was like a drug to Sam, and he wanted more. As the years passed, Sam found himself getting better and better at the game, and having fun the whole way through. He cut through other, lesser players like they were nothing, laughing gleefully as they stumbled into his traps and fell to his ambushes. As his skill grew, he devised more and more ways to take down enemy players, enjoying the rush of victory he got. Then one day, when Sam was fifteen, he found himself at level 9, with a 91% win/loss ratio and a massive number of kills. He'd done it. He was a made man. There was no real reason for him to keep playing. But he still did. Because he loved playing the game.

With his future secure, Sam resolved to experience everything the Deep Ground Program had to offer, and so he joined a guild: the Cobalt Bruisers. While the Blue King was initially leery at the thought of accepting a level 9 with no loyalty with him into the guild, Sam's win record and his general slacker attitude in school convinced the Blue King that Gleeful Jackal wasn't a threat to his position. And for six months, he wasn't. Sam served the part of a loyal guild member, taking part in and winning several battles for his guild. But then he wanted to experience more. What would it be like, being a King, commanding other players? And so Gleeful Jackal cut the Blue King down with his Grim Reaper skill, taking his former leader completely by surprise with a sneak attack and becoming the new Blue King.

Under Gleeful Jackal's rule, the Cobalt Bruisers adopted a policy similar to their King's personal philosophy, intent on getting as much enjoyment out of Deep Ground Online was possible. They fought to have a good future, but they had fun doing it. Unlike some people who took the Deep Ground Program so seriously, they realized that it was a sandbox for them to play in. A giant, murder-filled sandbox. The Bruisers started to gain a large influx of new recruits thanks to their friendly attitude towards the game and towards newbies, and their ranks swelled until they were on par with some of the stronger guilds.

Unfortunately, this philosophy angered the White King of the time, who was offended that the Blue King and his Bruisers took such a flippant attitude towards something that could decide the rest of their life. And so the Ivory Masks declared war on the Cobalt Bruisers. The soldiers of both guilds were evenly matched, but the war was actually decided by their Kings. Gleeful Jackal got a massive kick out of seeing the White King so riled up, and so he decided to piss him off even further. By ganking him once a day with his Grim Reaper skill. The Blue King got inside the White's head, mocking him repeatedly during battles and spamming cheesy bullshit like blind traps and smoke bombs until the White King was so pissed off that he left himself unaware and open during his rage. Sam even took the time to acquire the White King's phone number in real life and have his guild spam insults towards him with text messages and prank calls. Eventually, the White King began to lag behind his fellows in power due to his repeated defeats, leaving him to be overthrown by a player known as White Terror. Out of gratitude towards the Blue King's role in her victory, she called a truce between the Ivory Masks and the Cobalt Bruisers, and to this day, both guilds have a general policy of non-aggression towards each other.

Personality: Sam is a cheerful, fun-loving slacker that hates having to do any real work. Thanks in part to the tactics he used against the previous White King, he began to find pissing people off to be absolutely fucking hilarious. Thus, even though he is a King with the responsibility of leading a guild, he can be a juvenile asshole on his worst days. However, his insults have no real malice to them and he has no real ill-will towards anyone in particular. He is more of a sarcastic prankster or class clown than anything else, just trying to derive amusement and fun from everything he does.

Sam's favorite color is orange.

The Red King's appearance can perhaps be best summarized with one word - moe. Her bright red hair falls just short of her shoulders, her bangs curl inward and lightly tickle her cheeks at their longest section. She has large white bows attached to her hair that tie her hair up in pigtails that protrude up and away from her head before falling the same distance as the rest of her hair. A singe curled ahoge sticks out from her part and curls back to its base. Sticking out of her head are a pair of cat-like ears with tuffs of fur at the ends.

Her eyes are opened widely and have a rich rose pink hue. Her eyelashes are long, seemingly enhanced by mascara. Her nose is small and her mouth is fairly narrow. Her cheeks are rosy and firm and boast a line of freckles that dart across her nose. She’s built with a lithe, girly figure which boasts hardly any bust. Her limbs are small and look fragile, but looks are always deceiving in the virtual world.

The Red King can be seen wearing a red short-jacket that falls just past her bust (or lack thereof), over a lightweight, white, button-down shirt. Red suspenders peek out from under the jacket and connect with a pleated, red, knee-length skirt. White knee socks continue down from where the skirt leaves off to a pair of bright red ballet flats.

Slung over either shoulder is the tool of her trade, a sniper rifle whose metal parts are the color of polished silver and the rest is a glossy candy red.
