Basics
Name: Samael Bane Oleander
Nicknames: Sam, Sammy
Age: 17
Birthday: September 1st
Grade: 11
Power:
Virus Manipulation: He has the ability to create and manipulate viruses and pathogens. He has the ability to house them within his body without any ill-effects on himself, which is stated below. While he doesn't have control of this, it's nearly always active. As he comes in contact with different strains of diseases they often mutate or completely die off within his body. He's working to be able to manipulate the strains himself, though it's a difficult and slow process. In theory, he would be able to cure different diseases but since he has yet to gain control over making the disease worse or neutralizing it, that's still on the back burner. Another aspect that he often isn't aware of is when he's spreading the virus. At times he is aware, more likely if he was intentionally infecting someone, but he's never done anything like that. So, majority of the time the viruses just spread without his knowledge which tend to cause a bit of an issue.
Self-Sustained Existence: This is basically a side ability that he has had since birth. This allows him to house the viruses as well as never get infected by whatever is being created within his body. This isn't limited to just aiding his virus manipulation. It also handles the basic needs of the human body and extends the length of time that he can go without them. He can go twice the normal length of time without any food, water, rest or oxygen. His body sustains himself so that he can function properly for a decent amount of time before he begins to fade. This also slows his aging process slightly. Slightly meaning he will retain his youthful glow for a few more years than the average person.
Social Cloaking: It holds the same ideas as regular cloaking except it's only to the human eye. He can slide under the radar of anyone around him and easily slip about unnoticed. The cloaking muffles his sound to a point where it's mostly unnoticeable unless someone's trying to listen and it completely hides him from view. This is a ability that his control fades in and out and largely relates to his emotion. The more fearful he becomes the less control he has and the most likely he is to start unintentionally cloaking himself. However, if he manages to stay calm he can refrain from cloaking himself and be seen.

Canon or not: Not
Appearance:
Sammy is a pretty average guy. He only stands at 5’8, nothing to spectacular, and has a rather slim build. He doesn’t have much muscle mass and maintains a rather lanky appearance. His light brown hair pretty much does its own thing, by that I mean it’s pretty untamable. There’s always that one strand that sticks out of place, even if he decides to gel it back. Though, he doesn’t often do that and more so just keeps it natural and shaggy. The back is always kept above mid-neck and the front drupes down into his eyes. His eyes are a bright blue that begins to darken as you reach the center.
As for style… well, as you could probably put together not the most fashionable guy around. He loves wear his worn out jeans and ratty, beat up sneakers (that really should have found their way into a trash can last year). He has various comic theme t-shirts, or shirts centered on shows and jokes. His favorite is a Spiderman shirt. He has one jacket that he’s rather fond of. It’s white with black lining which shows along the cuffs and the inside of its hood. Other than that it’s honestly what he picks up while he’s still half asleep in the morning.
Personality
Overall Personality:
He’s the kid that glides through the hallways undetected, who you see in the yearbook but can’t quite remember, or the face in that one class whose name you can’t quite recall. He’s that basic high school nobody. He’s been at Ashford since he was twelve and has yet to make a single friend, rarely say a word actually. Instead of being social like a normal person he stays in his dorm most times, only leaving to travel to his class or perhaps a venture to the library once in a while. However, just because no one really realizes he’s there doesn’t mean he’s not.
As one could probably put together he’s a shy kid. It’s difficult for him to make friends or really talk straight in general. He often finds himself tripping over his words or completely losing his train of thought when confronted. During class it often leaves him starring at his desk with his ears burning bright. This is the reason he normally keeps quiet and just stays by himself. It’s easier that way. No one to make fun of his stumbling and he doesn’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. Being a loner is all the kid really knows how to be.
However, that quiet shyness isn’t all there is to him. He’s actually a rather bright kid. Nowhere near enhanced intelligence, clearly, but he tend to keep to the highest classes available, especially in the field of science. He has a passion for medicine and biology. He does realize his faults, he may think of them too much at times, so he doesn’t come across stuck up or a know-it-all when someone questions him in those fields. He’s quite polite and nice when someone gives him the time of day. He generally cares for other people’s well beings and hopes to just help a long a good day.
Yet, as mentioned above, he does have his faults when it comes to social interactions. He often keeps things he shouldn’t to himself that may harm someone. Not necessarily physically but just ruin their day or make a situation harder for them. Sam can be very secretive and since he doesn’t really make himself known around school he can do so very easily. If he feels he’ll get unfairly treated or that he might get hurt he’ll cling to the secret till the grave. He’s terrified of screwing up and hates himself when he does, often taking it upon himself to try to fix it instead of seeking help.

History:
Samuel’s parents were never quite sure if they were blessed or cursed when they had their only child. He was quiet and timid from the very beginning. Even in his toddler years he often preferred playing by himself, blocks were his favorite, or flipping through a picture book. While his developing personality made it rather easy for his parents to watch over him, it also caused a rift in their closeness. They never felt as connected as they should and it only progressed as he got older and more excused, such as homework, to shut himself behind his bedroom door. Leaving himself to his own devices.
Once he got to the later years of elementary school it became fairly obvious that he was a smart kid. He took some of the more advanced classes and was easily able to get into the gifted program. However, this didn't help for his social life any. Ignoring that something was wrong with his social skills Samael kept himself busy in the world of books, soon discovering he had a love for science and math. The small goal of becoming a scientist, maybe even doing something involving genes, when he grew up kept the little boy happy and focused more than ever before.
That all took a turn when he turned twelve. Something began changing within him and it was rather obvious to the quiet boy. While he had never gotten sick before, not even once, it had never seemed like other around him had gotten sick more than the normal amount. However, now, it did. Anyone who came in contact with him got sick. The adults soon noticed that he wasn’t getting sick, whereas all of his other classmates where. This mysterious epidemic quickly caught the attention of some of Ashford’s snoops. It wasn’t long before they realized he was the source of the illness. They threw many pretty words at his parents and soon they agreed to send him to the school and he’s been there ever since.
