PastSamhain’s parents, unbeknownst to him where in a bit of a Romeo and Juliet situation, where his mother was supposed to marry this well to do chimera and she ran away for a hybrid that wasn’t of her own race. Unfortunately it ended about as well as Romeo and Juliet where Samhain’s father was killed in the epidemic that managed to wipe out most of the Grimm and Samhain’s mother died of heartbreak shortly after. Before she died she hide Samhain’s soul stone in the hopes that one day someone loving and kind would find Samhain and raise him with all the love she couldn’t.
Unfortunately this wasn’t to pass. He was somehow against all possibility picked up by the worst possible person ever, the man who Samhain’s mother had jilted all those years ago to run away and elope. Beltane, the Chimera in question, had actually left his clan not being able to handle the humiliation and had picked up a habit of picking up women and gambling debts.
Unfortunately he was also harsh, strict and generally demonic towards the young hybrid and unfortunately encouraged this seed of darkness that he saw in Samhain. As soon as Samhain got to a certain age the older Chimera would often use Samhain as collateral in his gambling debts and the boy was often forced to pay off whatever amount Beltane had managed to accumulate. Luckily Samhain was quick witted and people often underestimated him due to his young age and size and picked up menial labor quickly and how to play a mean hand of cards and he was able to keep anything too untoward from happening to him.
When Samhain was about nine he finally had enough and managed to trick Beltane into a drunken stupor and knocked him over the head with a bottle, fleeing the area they were staying in as fast as he could. Unfortunately he wasn’t as prepared to run away as he should have been and he quickly ran out of food and money.
It wasn’t until one night that a nice geist couple had spotted him trying to steal bread that life began to look up. They took him in and the family raised him, teaching him what was right and wrong and the basic academic skills he should have learned for the next six years. Samhain wanted to be perfect for them and tried to block away all the dark thoughts and desires he had from his previous life. Eventually his family knew that Samhain needed a normal environment with kids his own age and everyone agreed to send him to Asphodel academy late junior year.
Currently they still keep in contact with letters and phone calls, and his family keeps trying to tell him that the occasional stealing, card playing, and mischief is okay and they won’t hate him for it but it’s a slow process. Samhain does make them super proud though.
PresentSamhain is getting along as well as he can be at school. He has a little sibling from the school's program and he has a wonderful girlfriend that even salem gets along with. Of course there were a few stress causing incidents at school where Salem came out but... everything's going well for now... well except for how to propose to Lace.
Or so he thought. Things were about to change drastically. He decided to go on a field trip and ended up doing pretty well with with out his mask. He was making friends and Salem was safe in the back of his head. Then they actually made it into the forbidden forest. Samhain met a whole new race and was taken capture for a night after a very frustrating chase trying to save children... Salem started coming out.
He realized he wanted to help the Kumiho but there were too many different view points and no matter how much he tried he couldn't get anywhere.
He was luckily released the next day but a spell was placed on him so that he couldn't speak of what had happened. He didn't even know if he was able to save Tomoe. Samhain retreated into himself for a month and Salem was left with full reign. Apparently all the spirit did was finish out Samhain's senior classes and get him accepted into Leviathan. However a month later it was relieved that Samhain had helped a little bit. Kumiho were joining the world, and he even had an exchange student standing at his door. Samhain slowly started taking over again and meeting up with field trip friends like Nashira.
Lace even graduated too and now lives with him as well?
currently they went to a concert where they got to talk with the singers backstage. Lace ended up wanting children and to imbue now... now... in October? Oh dear.
Well while they did end up imbuing the stones actually weren't awakened until later well out of the month of september. Samhain had decided that while Salem had been the one to actually imbue he wasnt having awakening taken from him.
Rune and Trixxie have been a joy, now he just waits to see if they have developed his affliction.
