I subconsciously based Samson off a fellow classmate. We were in the same class all throughout middle school, and we're still attending the same school at the moment. I took from him some general traits; he tries to be cool, and is abnormally skinny, and short, yet had one of the earliest birthdays in the class. That's pretty much where the similarities end. The actual kid definitely isn't as hyper, for starters. :o

As for Samson's appearance, I just made a generic, cute looking little boy that you could somehow tell was annoying just by looking at him. I needed a peppy and enthusiastic character to accompany Dominick and Blanky, and so he was created. Neither Blanky or Dominick were very...proactive characters, so I needed Samson to be the talkative one and make comments when I couldn't come up with stuff to say for my other characters.
