Introduction

Master Samuel Peter Bump (B.K.A. Speedbump, formerly known as Samuel Peter DeBump) started in the SCA as a swampie camping with Clan Kindred of the Wolf at Pennsic. While going to Pennsic, he tried out other SCA activities while he lived in Atlantia. Although he was an authorized combat archer in Markland, he didn't like the fighter practices in Atlantia and only started SCA combat archery after moving to Malagentia. Once in Malagentia he used his theater background to good use, from organizing props storage to building new things to help the Province. Because of the Peer fear that Speedbump had when he started in the SCA, he would prefer that people got to know him before learning that he is a peer. Please don't use his titles when introducing Speedbump to someone new.

Persona

Speedbump started in the SCA by being dragged to Pennsic by a girlfriend while in college. He gave the SCA a try while living in Atlantia but it didn't quite stick. It was after having been to Pennsic 6 times that he tried again in the East Kingdom in the Province of Malagentia that it finally stuck. Because of this, he is a Pennsic Swampie at heart.

Speedbump has not narrowed down any one persona because there is too much great stuff to pull from. Viking clothing has such simple pattern shapes. Any excuse to have a gypsy wagon. The Italians had mercenary crossbow units.

He builds combat crossbows, and occasionally can be convinced to travel to teach a class in mass producing them.
