#detective Samir Parker

[mewsly]

We want to know all about Samir please!

🥺 Of course I will tell you all about Samir.

Full Name: Samir Parker

Age: 27

Height: 5’8

Pronouns: He/Him

Sexuality: Gay

Hair Color: Dark Brown

Eye Color: Hazel

Favorite Color: Yellow

RO: Mason

Samir is mixed race, his Rebecca’s family hailing from Morocco and his Rook being a white man (I like to picture that he was a ginger).

Samir is just a really sweet dude. Just an absolute cinnamon bun of a man. An entire sweetheart. He is very kind, gentle, thoughtful, and friendly. He is selfless to a fault which has absolutely never backfired on him at all. Ever. He likes to help people, it’s even the reason he joined the police, and is constantly worried over his loved ones so he tends to put himself last. (Is the more self-destructive tendency of his kindness a manifestation of spending a childhood trying to be “the perfect kid” to his overworked and largely absent mother? Mayhap.)

Samir and Rebecca do get along very well all things considered! Even if he took the truth about supernaturals, um, bad he loves his mother dearly and despite not knowing Rook he also deeply misses him and wish he could’ve met him. He dated Bobby in college which, well, didn’t really work out. He and Tina were instant friends the second they were partnered up and Verda was very quickly adopted when he joined. He did not let either of them find out the truth about supernaturals, even if he doesn’t think hiding the truth is a smart idea on the Agency’s part he wants to protect them. He also has a soft spot for Douglas, even if he kinda sucks at his job.

He is also a huge NERD who likes video games, tabletop games, and fantasy books and movies. He also likes to take care of plants and his apartment is full of them (he has the bright style apartment). He also likes to dance, both in a fun way and a perforative way (I like to imagine he used to teach a small dance class before he became Detective). He is fluent in languages, growing up speaking English and Arabic then picked up other languages as he grew older.

Samir’s best friend in UB is Nate and they are pretty much two sweet peas in a pod. They are tooth-rotteningly sweet it’s ridiculous. He and Adam are slowly developing a respect and friendship as well, even if things were very tense at first. He and Felix get along very well and were very fast friends!

And then... there’s Mason. Samir realized pretty quickly that he was developing feelings for Mason even back in Book 1. As a person who tends to bit his own tongue in order to appease others there’s something about Mason’s blunt and unapologetic ways that Samir is kind of into... he also kind of found Mason’s blunt honestly a little refreshing after dating Bobby at first. They did end up sleeping together in Book 2 after the maa-alused attack (and after he might’ve, sorta, kinda kissed Bobby a little.. BUT NOT ON PURPOSE IT HAD BEEN A LONG NIGHT) but waking up in an empty bed the next morning... yeah, Samir wasn’t super up to sex again after that. Going into Book 3 hes mostly confused with Mason. He knows he has feelings for Mason but Mason’s feelings are a bit harder to get a grasp on. Samir has actually set, *gasp*, a healthy boundary that he isn’t interested in anymore sex unless it means something. So... we shall see how that goes.

And that’s my boy!

I realized I haven’t drawn Bobby yet and that is just unacceptable.

Also Samir is the only one shocked that Bobby, the known liar and manipulator, would lie and manipulate him

Lone Wolf? More like Puppy Dog.

I have additional, personal, thoughts.

[mewsly]

I should’ve been asleep hours ago

[mewsly]

So I read this ask and my first thought reading it was “if M will let the MC top where would they draw the line?”

I’m guessing no where cuz M wants that booty.

Watch me make a million little references for my Wayhaven MCs lol

Samir Parker is a very kind, patient guy who likes sweets, video games, and, for some reason, grumpy jerks like Mason.

ITS TRUE LOVE.

2 and 24 for detective ask, please!

Ohh! Okay. I have 4 Detectives so I will answer for them all:

2. Why did they join the police?

Samir Parker joined because he wanted to help people, also maybe a little bit because of his Dad. I don’t think the Police was his first choice, per say, but it was always a possibility because he knew his father did it. 

Rin Takahiro joined because her family didn’t like her joining the army. I like to imagine that she went to college pretty far from Wayhaven and spent a few years working in a bigger city before moving back home.

Orianna Moreau joined because she thought it would be an easy job since Wayhaven is so quiet. Not that she doesn’t take it seriously (well, okay, she doesn’t always) but she didn’t really want a job that went home with her. 

Lucas Diaz was a troublemaker as a teenager so it was either join the police or do jail time. Lucas was one of those kids who were way too smart for their own good and had to find ways to entertain himself since school didn’t really hold his interest.

24. How did they handle the fight with Murphy? Did they get bitten?

I’m honestly a bit torn on these sense, right now, all of my Detectives manage to catch Murphy and I kind of want at least one to have him escape but right now:

Samir talks to him to distract him but not before managing to get bit on the neck.

In my “Canon” playthrough for Rin she manages not to get bitten and fights Murphy. I’m thinking of changing it so she gets bitten on the wrist.

Orianna, right now anyway, deduces a plan to stop Murphy and gets bitten on the wrist. 

And Lucas uses THE POWER OF SCIENCE (and by that I mean figures out that bleeding Murphy out might weaken him) and doesn’t get bitten.

Thanks!
