Pre-Campaign
[Mentions of underage drug use, toxic family environment]

Sam was born as the fourth-youngest child in a catholic family of twelve. Their father, William Booke, remarried shortly after they were born and continued having children. As far as Sam is aware, they have no other half-siblings or step-siblings than the ones they obtained from him.

As the years went by and more siblings were born, this took a lot of attention off of Sam that they needed and placed more responsibility on their shoulders. Caring for people was something that they tried to take in stride, but it proved to be harder and harder with each passing year due to their hEDS that had been overlooked. It presented the most in their left knee and shoulders, and on their skin where they had multiple bruises.

The entire family moved from Quebec to Ontario soon after they turned fourteen.

When Sam was fifteen years old, they got surgery on their knee, and the painkillers they were put on afterwards (opioids) very quickly became an addictive thing. In order to try and avoid withdrawal symptoms, they started going out and trying to buy something else (like heroin). The longer this went on, the worse it got, ultimately cumulating in a fight with their father who then kicked them out of the house completely. It was not supposed to be a permanent thing, but it did end up being one once Sam got themself even more mixed up with people they didn't know well.

This led to them being on the run for the majority of their twenties, selling drugs to try and make a living while they could, and organs if they were low enough on cash that it was actually worth the risk.
