Fan Linda Brixton hung around Crushed Velvet whenever she could, mostly when they were in Aeolus City and managed to catch Eric’s eye, and as he was one of the two band members who were even interested in the opposite sex he found himself having sex with her at the Winter Solstice Festival, after the singing and release of the rice paper lanterns into the night sky. The fact that they were both drunk worked in her favor. What didn’t work out so well for her was when she died giving birth to their son, nine months later. Not that Eric knew about the baby, as he died before that.
Sam is born at a hospital in Aeolus City, one of the few people to be born the “old fashioned” way and not from a Womb With a View like most other children in the Coalition.
Linda Brixton dies giving birth to Sam Brixton.
Sam’s tattoo appeared for the first time at breakfast, in the Hestia Orphanage dining room. The other kids sang for him and one of the boys who had already reached the age of consent congratulated him by going down on him under the table. That afternoon the same boy, along with two more boys over the age of consent, escorted Sam to The Slice of Aphrodite. After Sam got his booster shot of Nano-bots and his Scanner Medallion they ran into Calvin Keller and Jamie Gilbert, who took turns going down on Sam. Sam’s first trick, who popped his cherry, was Yarrow Helper.

Author's Notes
Sam is the protagonist of the novelette I’m writing for the Anthology Challenge. This article isn’t part of the Challenge, it’s just a character profile.
