ACCESS: GRANTED FILE NAME: SONG, S.; UNKNOWN LEGACY
Samuel Song grew up for the first half of his life in sunny California-- Silver Lake, LA, to be exact. He would soon discover that he liked to go by Sam, though heâd respect and treasure his Korean name, Hansol, when the time came. He was a bright kid, full of life and joy and eager to do just about anything. He was always the first one to raise his hand in school or volunteer himself to make new friends. His parents loved the fact that their son was so lively and sweet, and that was in part due to their nurturing and loving nature as parents too.
They both worked in tech, very skilled and adept in their field with great jobs that allowed them to take great care of their home and child. As great as they were at their jobs, they never let it get in the way of being good parents, of making sure that their home life was as open and compassionate and understanding as they believed it should be.
He was three years old when his family welcomed a baby girl, and Sam has probably never had a greater happiness than being a big brother to Ingrid. He took care of her from the get-go, looking after her as a toddler, and always watching over her as they aged. While their parents had the money to hire babysitters, which they did, Sam still liked to always be taking care of Ingrid throughout his life, making sure she had everything she needed to be happy, or at least tried his best to.
Sam was the kind of kid that excelled in most things. He tried out for practically every sport there was, his parents supporting him throughout all the different seasons, and joined as many clubs that caught his eye as he could, something his sharp intellect helped with. His school career would see him as a star of the basketball team, student council treasurer, and president of the debate club all in the same semester, every year looking just as crazy as the last. He couldnât help it, he just loved to be around others, a part of a team, making his mark. All this work would even help him graduate high school a year early.
At ten years old, his parents got an offer from another tech company, an offer they couldn't refuse, and the family relocated to Great Falls, Virginia across the country. The Song family moved in next door to the owners of the tech conglomerate that hired them, Reign Technology, and Ingrid and Sam met their new childhood friend, RĂ©gine Ren-- Rei for short. Despite the kidsâ different personalities, they all grew up to care for each other, becoming close friends for pretty much the rest of their lives.
Sam adapted very easily to his new life in Virginia, jumping into his new school with just as much vigor as he always had, making himself out to be the âfun new kidâ until he was just as much a part of that community as anyone else.Â
The only thing was, as much as he enjoyed every activity, as good as he was at them, there was never anything that he truly loved, that he thought could carry him for the rest of his life. What he loved was being a part of something, but nothing in particular ever really called to him. Heâd watch in the coming years as Ingrid would find her passion, and heâd be her number one fan, but heâd always look at her and wonder how it must feel to find your dream.
He went off to college, picking something that sounded exciting on paper, but still didnât light a fire in him like he wanted it to. But he wanted to be able to think that he chose the right thing, and so he continued to follow it through, because, naturally, he was good at it anyway. Sam was home for the summer after his sophomore year of college when Ingrid confided in him that sheâd found something huge.
After the younger Song sibling went on a visit to their parentsâ workplace, Ingrid had found something scary, something that convinced her their parents were some sort of villains working for evil masterminds-- or at least tech that seemed to imply that to a creative and impressionable mind. Sam believed her immediately, his own young imagination running wild and the siblings spent the next few weeks trying to prove that their parents werenât who they said they were.
When they thought they finally had enough evidence, they confronted them, but were met with something entirely different-- and thankfully a little more tame. Their parents confessed that they were actually retired spies, and their jobs at Reign Tech were due to that. Suddenly everything made more sense, even though it hardly made sense that their normal, PTA-member parents could have had any past as cool and exciting as espionage. There was one more catch, however.
Not only were their parents ex-spies, they were actually connected to one of the biggest names in the history of espionage-- and assassination, actually. Sam and Ingridâs father was a Blackthorne descendant, though for the safety of his young children, had asked his family to hide that side of them from the Song kids. Sam knew the name Blackthorne, but only as the last name of the cousin he loved so much, the fun uncles, and the serious grandpa from his dadâs side. And now he was realizing that all along they were actually one of the most prominent families in the spy community.
Whatâs more was, well, the Blackthornes had their own school. While it took some genuine debating and convincing of his parents, it was mostly a no-brainer to Sam. This is what he was meant to do, this was why he had never found a true purpose in life. He was destined to be a spy. His father warned him that Blackthorne would be unlike any other school heâd ever been to or heard of, that it would be the hardest thing heâd have to endure, and that his ancestry might hurt him more than it would help. But Sam was determined, hopeful that he had the guts to handle it.
So, in 2018, he enrolled as a first year at Blackthorne, and just as he had expected, it was nothing like he was expecting. Luckily, he did have third year and cousin Emmett Blackthorne at his side, who took the brunt of the family name and all its hurdles as well as provided him with a kind face to stick by when he didnât know what he was doing. Sam was content to stay in Emmettâs shadow, the heir apparent, who he looked up to just as much. He spent his year at Blackthorne wrestling with how absolutely unbearable training was, the looks of showing up as some unknown Blackthorne, and a shocking revelation: he was not good at this.
Sam had always excelled at everything heâd tried his hand at, annoyingly so, and it only frustrated him further that the one time he was sure heâd found what he wanted to do with his life, he couldnât master it on the first try, and had to work twice as hard as everyone else to stay afloat. So much for the Blackthorne blood, he thought, and it came to a head when he heard whispers of what his namesakeâs school asked of boys in order to graduate. By the end of the year, he was sure he couldnât survive and he was not going back.
And that was when news hit that the schoolâs doors would be closing forever and its sister school Gallagher Academy, would be opening its doors to all genders. The next step was clear to Sam, who didnât want to give up espionage. Because as grueling as Blackthorne was, and as hard as it was to wrap his head around the fact that he wasnât naturally gifted at it, he couldnât imagine ever doing anything else. So, he transferred to Gallagher in 2019, and fell in love with the school immediately.
Ever since, heâs been steadily climbing up his own personal mountain, training hard and trying his best to master what he should have a direct familial line to. Aside from how seriously he takes his schoolwork, heâs still bright and goofy as ever, and Sam knows if he ever loses that side of him, thatâs when he won't be able to pursue this any longer. But for now, heâs vibing and thriving!
TLDR - THE FACTS
Sam is a goofy and bright personality, always friendly and always looking to have fun
grew up in Cali with Ingrid to two loving parents in the tech industry
they moved to Virginia when their parents got hired by Reign Tech
heâs a naturally gifted kid who was almost instantly good at everything he tried, though he could never find a passion that motivated him and had no idea what to do with his future
Ingrid says she think their parents are evil masterminds and he instantly believes her, until their parents confess theyâre actually just retired spies!
also, surprise, theyâre Blackthorne descendants, and their father convinced the Blackthorne side to keep the spy business a secret from his kids
Sam decides this is what heâs meant to do with his life and enrolls in Blackthorne, only to find out this is the one thing heâs not naturally good at
hates his first year at Blackthorne, because the place is a nightmare, being a Blackthorne is not all itâs cracked up to be, and he finds out about the m*rder secret lol
but despite it all, despite espionage being the one thing he canât immediately excel at, itâs the first thing in his life that he truly feels driven towards and wants to pursue
so when Blackthorne (thankfully) closes, heâs super happy to transfer to Gallagher, and has been loving it there ever since!
he takes his schoolwork and training super seriously, because heâs trying to get better and better every day, but aside from that, heâs laid-back, kind, and vibrant!
CONNECTIONS
Ingrid Song: his baby sister, heâll do literally anything to see her happy; heâs super supportive of her dreams and passions, and is just a touch worried about her being at Gallagher after the previous year; they have a great and healthy relationship!
Regine Ren: childhood best friend ever since he moved in next door to her; developed a crush on her in their teenage years and they started dating for a good while before they realized they couldnât work in the long run; still on good terms and he considers her a close friend
iâm down for almost anything pls <3
