Name: Sebastien Lester Reed Alias: Reed or Boy Age: 28 Occupation: Busker Member Group: Creature (Familiar) Playby: Seth Gabel |
PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT
LIKES:
- Music: Sebastien loves music. There is just something magical about the rhythm and beat that is so easy to get lost in. If he ever goes out to have fun it is usually to a nightclub to dance, not that he is the best at it. He knows how to play the piano which is his favorite instrument, but because he travels around a lot the chances of him actually being able to play is slim. The last few months he has managed to scrape together enough money to get hold of a guitar, he is still learning how to play it properly but he still does some busking every now and again with it to earn some money.
- Kindness: The last couple of years Sebastien have really learned to appreciate the kindness of others. There have been times when it has been the only way for him to have the strength to move on, off course he always tries to repay the kindness but he usually find himself gaining way more then he gives in return.
- Pancakes: there is nothing better than a plate of warm pancakes with syrup and whipped cream on top, at least in Sebastien’s eyes. It is just sad that you can’t live off pancakes alone, not that he indulge in his favorite snack all too often as he usually can’t afford it but whenever he does it is a meal savored.
- Animals: he has always liked animals, making his mom crazy with all the stray pets he picked up in hopes to keep it as a pet as a kid. Since knowing about what he truly is however his wish to keep a pet has diminished but he still love animals and try to help out any stray or injured animal he might find.
- Learning: he gets a kick out of learning new things. Sebastien is not much of a reader however and most of his knowledge is from people he has talked to and not from books. He learns way easier by doing then by reading as his mind usually get the facts scrambled and he sucks at remembering tons of information that he really have no use for in every day life.
DISLIKES:
- Lying: Sebastien truly hates lying though he has found it to be a necessary thing as he can’t just go around telling people what he does with his life. He can’t even imagine how people would react if it came out that he was a creature of some sort that was searching for a witch to be bonded to forever. It is not like he goes around with a fake FBI-badge and flashing it around pretending he is someone important but he will not be totally honest with people about himself. Leaving to little details of himself out creates more questions than having a cover to hide behind.
- Fighting: Being it physical or verbally Sebastien hates fighting. He understands why people might fight but that does not mean that he likes it. He has little to no fighting skills but if any of his friends are being threatened with being beat up he will do his best to help out. Sure him helping might include a little babbling and a lot of dodging, but at maybe it will tire the opponent out so his friend can finish the thing off….
- Fashion: The art of fashion is completely lost on Sebastien, and he never understand people who use a lot of money on clothes. As a young boy his mother would always buy him clothes usually consisting of cute little collared shirt and long khaki pants. Until he was twelve this is what his wardrobe held: bright patterns and stripes, lots of dark slacks, some nice dress shoes and a suit or two for special occasions. Once puberty hit and he realized his attire would most likely get him beaten up, Sebastien decided it was time to shop for him. Labels don't really have a name for his usual style, though if you ever see him in designer he did not dress himself that morning.
- Hunters: it is not that he hates hunters, but that does not mean that he likes them either. Sebastien does not really know enough about familiars to know what hunters really think of them and he has never been brave enough to ask. He only wished that he had the ability to know a hunter when he saw one. With hunters being human it is not easy to see it if you do not know what to look for, and even then all hunters have a different ways of working which makes it harder.
- Loneliness: being a social person Sebastien hates the feeling of loneliness. Because of his species however loneliness is a constant feeling. It is not like he does not socialize, because he does but he always feel that need to find his witch and every city and town that he does not find the person makes his heart break slightly. He won’t let the nagging feeling of loneliness to drag him down but it does not make it easier to deal with.
STRENGTHS:
- Shapeshifting: being able to shift into a cat might not seem to be such a big power but it comes in handy every now and again. It has given him a lot of free meals and a warm place to sleep whenever someone picks him up as a stray. It is also a great way to hide as he can crawl into places his human form would in no way fit. Because it is so much easier and cheaper to move around from place to place as a cat Sebastien prefers it, but there are times when it is not an option.
- Speed: he is fast on his feet, maybe not supernatural fast (though with him being what he is that might actually be part of it) but he can outrun most people. He does not really chase people, except for that one time when a kid stole his wallet on the street, and is usually the one that is being chased.
- First-Aid: he is pretty good at patching people up if they have been injured. Sure he is no brain surgeon but he knows what to do if someone has a broken arm or need stitches. Being on the road with little money and no insurance has made this strength very important. He hates seeing anybody in pain and will do all in his power to help them out.
WEAKNESSES:
- Curious: Sebastien is curious – in the Killed-The-Cat kind of way. It's another one of those personality traits that could definitely get him in trouble. Very, very deeply in trouble.
- Lightweight: he does not handle alcohol well. It does not take him much to get drunk and he gets very giggly and babbly which is bad because he might end up saying or doing something he shouldn’t.
- Delicate: physical strength is not something Sebastien possesses. He is not strong, and even heavy shopping bags can be an issue to carry at times. The need to bulk has never really been needed and so he had never really tried to become stronger either. The poor guy will never win a hand wrestling championship but really it is not something he is after to do anyway.
GOALS:
FEARS:
- Staying unbounded forever: being a familiar Sebastien spends his time traveling trying to find his witch. Having traveled for over ten years now and not even figured out where to start looking Sebastien fears that he will never be bonded.
- Water: Well, it is not the water itself that is Sebastien’s fear; it is not like he is going to melt or anything if it touches him. He is a familiar, not the wicked witch of the west. He can handle a little water now and again, he does shower after all. It is just the fact that while the young man has been busy taking care of others his whole life he has never taken the time to learn how to swim. So yeah going near deep water is not something that he would do voluntary, and he would probably freak out if he was pushed into it.
- Rejection: a small part of Sebastien has always been curious about his own father. While he knows the man’s name and what he is there is a lot of unanswered questions. So he does every now and again try to find out about him, but he also fear that if he ever find the man Bastien will reject him.
OVERALL PERSONALITY:
If someone could light up your day, it would be Sebastien. With his sunny smile, laughing eyes and natural inclination toward befriending loners – it would seem Sebastien enjoys life immensely. Rather than making him the class fool, his dreamy, somewhat scatty naivety have made him rather adored and protected amongst his friends, and he is the first they turn to when needing a silly comment to lighten the mood, or a shoulder to cry on.
Despite the image he portrays, the Sebastien that lies beneath the surface has a few more rainy days than he lets on. His dizziness, although in parts true – is more often than not a charade to cover his embarrassment and low self-worth. Occasionally it’s even a deliberate act to come across less intelligent than he appears, something he does in order to keep his sunny outlook or evade a difficult situation. He uses his penchant for dreaming and drifting off as a mask, allowing people to think he’s simply drifted off, when more often than not it’s a chance to gather both his thoughts, and his tied tongue.
Although having many friends, he is often struck by a crippling loneliness and desire to fit in – the majority of his friends not knowing who and what he truly is. His penchant towards befriending those alone only reflects his desire to fill the empty void that ruptures his otherwise happy existence. In a way, he sees them as versions of him – and hastens to bring all the pieces together.
Both passionate & a romantic at heart, Sebastien yearns for something more than his current life offer – its way of life not fulfilling his romantic idea of life. Knowing full well that sooner or later he will be bound to someone in a stronger way then love alone he uses his time to the best of his knowledge by helping others finding their special someone. He is all about giving love advice, and has more than ones been right in his assumptions. He has been wrong as well however, but he never let failure stop him from making someone happy. Although allowing himself to go into a relationship – Sebastien is repeatedly heartbroken to have to cut off relationships before they get too intimate. However, with each new relationship – Sebastien pushes the length and the boundaries, coming dangerously close to letting something slip.
Sebastien is humble, he never feels quite worthy of any praise and never sees himself, only others. He can be caring and loyal when it comes to close friends and family. He is only motivated to take action when it is about someone other than himself.
