[/font][/font][/size][/size]Introducing…
SEBASTIAN NORTH!
"Oh, now I've gone and soiled my cuffs. If a dungeon is our fate, I do hope it contains a change of wardrobe."
--Balthier, FFXII
Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself…[/blockquote][/center]
Name: Sebastian North
Nicknames: He is of the belief that a simple 'Mr. North' sounds especially dapper, but the moniker is currently reserved for his father. Therefore, his full name is usually demanded, but that doesn't stop anyone from calling him Ian. Most women are free to call him whatever they want. Someone once discovered that 'Sebastard' has a nice ring to it, but its usage was mostly discarded after Sebastian's bastardly fist made contact with their nose.
Age: 18
Gender: male
Where you stand?: follower in Lovestruck (although he is quick to point out that he follows no one, but that he'd never be a leader because he is far too inclined to laziness; being a loner would suit him best, but a love for the ladies reigned him into the clique)

I'm a man of wealth and taste...
Personality:
CHARMING charm oozes from every pore in sebastian's body, every flicker in his pale blue eyes, every quirk of his smirking mouth. there is something so incredibly arrogant about him that it becomes almost appealing, endearing, as if people hope that by being in his presence, they will find something about themselves of which to be especially proud. he knows how to work a crowd, how to get what he wants, and how to reduce a woman to a babbling sycophant at his feet. he's good. (that isn't to say that his efforts are always rewarded, but he knows when to resort to other methods if at first he is unsuccessful.)
SLY as a fox, he is. that charm isn't always a good thing, and sometimes, it adopts distinctly dastardly undertones. behind every charming smile is a little smirk. sebastian is often too clever for his own good, and has often been dubbed a rogue, scallywag, rapscallion, knave, and every other name in the book by cheated-on women or humiliated men. trustworthiness isn't a trait on his priority list.
SILVER-TONGUED although sebastian may boast of the strength of his fists or rapier, his true strength lies in his eloquence. that sly charm is heavily aided by his pretty little speeches and his ability to talk his way into or out of any situation. sebastian requested that his roleplayer inform any interested lady of the double-entendre of the trait 'silver-tongued', and for her to communicate the sentence with a wink. his roleplayer is heavily disturbed.
ADVENTUROUS from his obsessive pursuit of external perfection, it would be difficult for an observer to guess that sebastian has a rebellious streak several miles wide, and a craving for adventure of any kind. his father, after all, was a sailor, his great-grandmother a gypsy, so adventure is simply in his blood. he's a constant explorer, often leaving classes to gallivant around the grounds, and knows that nothing is more satisfying than a rush of adrenaline. bored? ask sebastian for an adventure, and he'll usually be more than happy to provide one (he requested that his roleplayer announce an adventure of a different kind to the ladies. she refuses).
PROUD in case the point hasn't been made enough: sebastian is a pretty man, and he is very, very aware of it. he is, in fact, more aware of his beauty than anyone else. women are free to admire him, but sebastian will admire his own beauty far more than they will.
UNORGANIZED although sebastian employs superhuman effort to keep his appearance and personal hygeine flawless, the rest of his world often spirals into chaos. ask him to locate a paper written the day before and it'll inevitably be lost in the abyss of his room. he simply has more important things that require his attention--women, for example. and his hair.
DANDYISH why, yes, sebastian is more fashion-conscious than half the young ladies attending the school. call him a dandy, a fop, a swell--he'll take every term as a compliment.
DISLOYAL "it is difficult to remain loyal to a woman," sebastian explains, "when so many of them are consistently vying for one's attention." he is not by nature mean-spirited, exactly, just easily bored, and always in pursuit of the next best thing. the same goes for so-called friends--he'll turn his back on casual acquaintances faster than they can blink. if, however, he makes a true friend--or a true love--they will be his for life. he simply has yet to find anyone worthy of such commitment.
WITTY and by 'witty', we mean, 'no one else finds his sarcastic or frequent repartee amusing other than himself.'
DEBONAIR this is just a fancy word that muses charming, dandyish, and arrogant all into one. you're welcome.
MOODY mr. north may project an air of swaggering nonchalance at all times, but he is also quick to anger, and quick to brood, or, in more accurate terms, pout. a pregnant woman once observed that sebastian was more prone to mood swings than she was.
I've been around for a long, long year...
History:
Julius North never intended to be a law-abiding citizen. He was raised in a respectable family, smothered in money old enough to have a stench, and encouraged to waste his life away in idleness and ennui. Instead, at age 15, he stole away on a merchant ship, intending to work as a cabin boy if they didn’t throw him overboard.
Things didn’t proceed exactly as planned. After three years, his ship was captured by pirates, and Julius found a blade at his throat and everything of value stripped from the vessel. When he was given the choice of waltzing with sharks or joining their ranks, the decision was easily made.
He lived life on the open seas for a decade and a half. When docked in England, however, Julius met and fell in love with Beatrice St. James, a pretty little thing who adamantly refused to marry a pirate. Julius, however, had cultivated a love of pretty, shiny things, and therefore relinquished his criminal record to snatch Beatrice’s hand in marriage. She told her parents that he was a captain in the Royal Navy, and after another decade, the lie finally became truth. When Julius was able to spend time in their home in a fashionable area of London, the happy couple produced a handsome son and three beautiful daughters. The handsome son, in case the reader was unable to discern between the four siblings, was Sebastian.
Sebastian was the man of the house when his father was away, but was quickly instructed by his mother and sisters how women expected to be treated. He discovered by himself how to use this knowledge to get what he wanted from them. His three sisters often brought their very wealthy and very pretty friends home, and these friends often made excuses to visit the North residence, not to see the girls but to snatch some time with Sebastian. His mother soon caught on to the practice and lectured him on respect; his father, when he returned home, commended Sebastian on a job well done. Like father, like son.
As the reader can tell, Sebastian’s roleplayer really is sick of writing histories and really isn’t putting any effort into this. Just know that Sebastian was sent to Florence’s like any other wealthy kid, and was almost expelled the first day for attempting to seduce the headmaster’s daughter, and getting into a fight with a Handsome Eye, and gaining entrance into the gypsy camp by claiming he was betrothed to a young gypsy girl. He generally entertains disdain for all of the cliques, although he very probably could be a Handsome Eye, and really isn’t very popular with Florence’s young men. He laments, however, his popularity with the young women, because it is horribly unfair to this charming ladies that there are so many of them and only one of him.
Family:
father, Julius North, captain for the Royal Navy
mother, Beatrice North, nee St. James, socialite
twin sisters, Constance and Cordelia North, recently 17
sister, Lorraine North, 15
BONUS! cousin, Celeste Worthington! WHAT A SHOCKER
Anything you'd like to add?
--He is most definitely not based off the character Balthier from Final Fantasy XII.
--His favorite color is gold.
--He has an irrational fear of being buried alive.
