History:
Wiki link: http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Sam_Winchester
History ends at the beginning of episode 12 of season 6, "Like A Virgin".

Personality:
In pretty much every way, Sam is Dean's complete opposite. He's quieter, more sensitive and much more studious. People like to talk to him and tend to trust him on sight. Of course, he's also a very smooth liar, which helps a lot with gaining that trust. He also has the worse temper. Better control of it, maybe, but much worse when he's provoked. Sam is very protective of his brother and if the temper shows, it's generally because Dean's in danger. Given that they are the only blood family either has left, the protectiveness can't be that surprising. He's also about as stubborn as they come, which has often put him at loggerheads with Dean. And their father. And Bobby. Push him and he's likely to push back just as hard. Either that or go off and do what he was warned not to, just to prove he can. He's a very intelligent man, but sometimes he certainly doesn't seem very bright.

Sam doesn't know it, but he's come back pretty broken. His soul has spent the past eighteen months in Hell, where every month feels like ten years. He knows how lucky he is to have gotten out, even if he doesn't understand everything that's happened. Sam wants to get back to work, get back to helping people. He's been given a second chance and he plans to make the most of it while he can.

Fears:
Clowns. Sam HATES clowns. Seriously, seriously scared of clowns.
Losing Dean. He's lived through Dean being dead twice for a total of ten months. He's pretty certain he couldn't live through it again.
Hell. He's gotten out of it, he can't remember it, it still scares the shit out of him.

Weaknesses:
Addiction to demon blood - Sam has previously been addicted to demon blood in his world, which was used to make his psychic abilities more powerful. While his psychic abilities have pretty much burned out, there's a possibility that they could be brought back by the blood of a demon of his world.
Family - If your name is Winchester, you have this weakness. Sam and Dean are the only blood family that either of them has left. They would be willing to do anything to keep the other one safe, and probably have.
The Wall - There's a part of Sam's mind that is walled off. It safeguards memories of his time in Hell, along with the year and a half that he spent without a soul. He has absolutely no memories of this time. He doesn't even know that there was a time when he didn't have a soul. However, the Wall isn't very strong. It'll stand as long as Sam doesn't poke at it too much, but if he does, he ends up having seizures and passing out.

Mundane Strengths/Abilities:
Sam has a great deal of fighting training and is proficient with firearms, shotguns and various melee weapons. He's also a bit of a research monkey, mostly out of necessity because Dean really doesn't like research. He has a great memory for the things that he reads, though, having become something of an 'encyclopedia of weirdness'. He can read and recall spells in Latin and knows how to deal with a great many supernatural beasties. He knows how to make hex bags to hide from demons and angels alike (not likely to be too useful on Stacy, but you never know). He knows how to pick locks, hack computers, con while in a disguise and jack a car. He's also a damned good actor and butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. Dean's better at credit card scams, but they're both good at hustling pool, darts, poker and the like. Sam also has a great sense of direction and timing, once having found his way back to a farm he went to while blindfolded by keeping track of turns and the time between them. (Taken from Sam's Wikipedia page.)

Sensitivity/Magical Ability:
While Sam demonstrated a fair number of very powerful abilities in Season 4 of Supernatural, nearly all of them were under the influence of demon's blood to give him a power boost. Without the demon's blood, Sam has only really shown these powers:

Premonitions/Visions - Sam's premonitions tend to have to do with deaths and danger, especially when connected to demons in his world. They started out as simply coming to him in dreams but they also happen now when he's awake. He rarely sees anything more than a day or two in advance of it happening and sometimes only hours ahead. Once, he even saw a death happening blocks away just as it happened. Sam can't control when he gets his visions and they always come with a very painful headaches. They have brought Sam straight out of a sound sleep before.

Telekinesis - This is a very minor power for Sam. While fairly strong - he has moved heavy furniture with it - he really can't access it very much. He's only really managed when his adrenaline was very high when he had a vision of Dean being killed. With demon's blood, he has far better access, strength and control of it, including being able to throw people across the room.

Sixth Sense - Sam has a sixth sense that allows him to sense the supernatural, especially spirits. He was able to sense the various presences in the old Winchester house in Lawrence and was able to sense Dean's spirit when Dean was greatly distressed. The stronger the impression, the more Sam can feel.

Immunity - Sam has immunity to the powers of demons in his world.

Supply List:
Button down shirt (blue and white check), jeans, boots. No weapons. (He literally just woke up from being soulless.)
