SEBASTIAN SWIFT BA Student - Seventeen - Photokinetic Heterosexual - British
Currently seeking: - Best bro - Ex-Bully(s) - Possible romantic interest?
Sebastian is your standard "nice guy". He's loyal and caring, almost to a fault. He will always go out of his way to help those he cares about, and it can take a while for him to realise when he's being taken advantage of. When it comes to romantic relationships he has a tendency to fall fast and hard. Unfortunately, his mild issues with trust and a fear of abandonment can sometimes scare people away as it makes him over-protective to the point of being suffocating. As for enemies, well, he's not the type to seek out fights but will happily use his powers to break one up. However, that's not to say he doesn't hold grudges against his past tormentors - as far as he's concerned, unless they apologise they pretty much don't exist.

HEY JELLEHBEEN! I'm not even gonna introduce myself, because we talked on chatango that one time.
ANYWAYS.
SEBASTIAN & ERIKA Erika and Sebastian should totally know each other (she's not nearly as bitchy as she comes across in her bio, jsyk). Erika's the kind of girl who's desperate for love and support and is pretty friendly. She's well known around the school, and know a lot of the people roaming around, so the two of these knowing each other wouldn't be very unlikely. I see these two hitting it off pretty well, especially as Sebastian is kind of the person who attracts those who need a shoulder to lean on. Erika isn't very open about her issues, but she does seem to lean more towards the types she can trust and feel that is a loyal friend -- very much like she is herself.
TL;DR; frands plz.
SEBASTIAN & LUX Lux is the kind of girl who attracts people who wants to protect her. She comes across as extremely innocent and fragile, which often makes people want to keep her that way. I'm currently trying to push her out of her comfort zones, but she still needs more friends to interact with. She is quite the pushover, and does basically anything for people. She is very worried of what people think of her, and doesn't want them to feel disappointed in her, and yadda, yadda, yadda.
SEBASTIAN & SAM So, Sam's quite the... Well, he's kind of dense. He's a quarterback, but super nice. He's also very socially awkward -- or can be, anyways. If you need that super nice good guy type, Sam's def the guy for you. Like Lux, he's also kind of a pushover, but not nearly as much. Basically, he's your typical nice guy who is also kind of a coward, and... I'm rambling.
If you need someone to be mean to Sebastian, I have LUCY, who is quite the bitch with absolutely no filter and severe emotional damage/personality issues, and ALICE, though Alice is more blunt and honest than outright mean.
I have several more characters that can be found HERE if you want either of those too. ^^

Hi there Jelleh, I’m Bobby ^-^
Sebastian & François: he can definitely be a friend to Sebastian. Franck can be a friend to virtually everyone. Whether you want your character to know about Franck’s homosexuality or not is up to you and you can play it the way you want. As long as he isn’t against it, Franck will be fine, even if talking of it makes Bast uncomfortable (he just won’t). Or maybe I just want to joke about France and England being friends for a change xD
I also have Quinn, Jason and Tamara that you can look at here.

Yaaaay c: I didn't expect to have so many fantastic character offerings so quickly Thanks guys -waves at Bobby- I do love how inclusive this board is turning out to be, so kudos!
Sebastian and Erika - Okay, so Erika is definitely right up Bast’s street in terms of personality. I feel like he would view her in an almost sibling-like fashion, particularly if when they met he sensed that she needed help, even if it was just someone to talk to. He’s a good listener, and would happily act as an impartial sounding board for any of Erika’s troubles. I can almost see him being treated like “one of the girls”, so to speak. Not that he’s particularly feminine, more just because he’s just so nice he’d agree to go shopping, watch Mean Girls or offer opinions on outfits before he even realised what he’d been roped into xD
Sebastian and Lux - As with Erika, Lux is another person who personality-wise Bast would gel with, particularly as he’s no stranger to being a human doormat. In fact, I can almost see him taking on the role of her own personal cheerleader, as much to help him with his own confidence issues as hers. If she’s ever in the position of being forced to do something she hates, Bast’s definitely the person to call – he’d want to put on a brave face for her sake, even if it was something he himself feared. I was actually thinking about putting Bast in Lux’s dorm as I still need to do the housing claim, which would give them a bonafide reason to be friends, particularly if she has self-confidence issues. Could be a good idea, maybe?
Sebastian and Sam - Now whilst I can definitely see Bast and Sam being friends, I'm not sure how they’d get to that point. Bast can be pretty judgemental towards people like Sam, as all he sees are the type of kids who used to pick on him. Maybe back when Sebastian had troubles with some of the other boys Sam could have come to his defence/rescue in some way? Idk. We will find a reason. I need them to be friends - I can see the pair of them having such derpy moments. Especially around girls. And especially if they’re both being awkward and dense. Those are two things Bast excels at, haha.
Sebastian and François - I never knew it, but Franc is everything Sebastian needs! Haha. So long as you’re okay with this being the kind of friendship where 90% of what they say to each other is insulting and racist xD Bast is a nice guy, but I feel like he needs someone that doesn't expect him to be sunshine and rainbows all of the time, maybe even encourage him to be a bit of a dick from time to time. As for the whole gay thing, Bast was raised Catholic but doesn't consider himself as such, and even if he was, he’s not the type of guy to judge. If anything I can see him being kind of curious, as Franc would probably be one of the first gay people he’s knowingly interacted with.

SEBASTIAN & ERIKA Yayyyy :3 Well, Erika's not particularly girly. She hates shopping, and she's not really into chick flicks, but I do get your point xD And he'd def be dragged into all sorts of trouble if he hangs around her. She has tendency of acting before thinking, so I'm sure this could bring up quite a lot of fun plots for us to discover :3
Would you like to start a thread for them, or would you like me to? :3 *is obvs super eager to mash these two together*
SEBASTIAN & LUX Lux could actually use someone who would cheer her on xD Most people just tell her that she can't handle things, and treat her as such xD Oooh, and I do like the idea of them dorming together, so yes please :3
SEBASTIAN & SAM Despite being socially awkward, Sam wouldn't just stand and watch someone get bullied, so that's a possibility. Either way, I don't think we'll have much trouble figuring out a reason for them to be friends, and I agree xD I think they'd be super adorable together, so yassss. It needs to happen!

Ellen& Seb
If you’re looking for tormentors I can meet you half way. Ellen Banks if you’ll excuse my language is a bitch. A shedevil and until recently the queen mean girl of the school pretty much universally hated for being a rich snob not to mention a big ol’ bully. However recently she had been for want of a better word. Reforming from her old ways just a little bit. Don’t get me wrong, she’ll still a bitch but she’s getting there. We could say that Seb was a former victim of hers if you so wish. That’ll make for some awkward interactions.
Post by Sebastian Swift on Feb 13, 2015 5:33:52 GMT -6
Bast and Ellen Ooh, yes, thank you! That would be perfect, even if she is reforming. And the fact that she's a girl will make it so much more awkward for him, which I love. Muahaha.
Post by Ellen Banks on Feb 13, 2015 13:31:03 GMT -6
Ellen& Seb Hahhahah. Yeah I think so too and I know what you mean too. She isn’t exactly the most physical person so it’s not like he would have bruises or anything. But Ellen’s form of bulling would be insults, harsh words and maybe using her powers to embarrass him (IE: Tell me your most embarrassing childhood experience) and then laugh at him after she snaps him out of hypnosis. But he doesn’t really do that anymore. She’s had a hard few months. She won’t apologize for the things that she’s done so I doubt Seb will like her
Post by Sebastian Swift on Feb 13, 2015 18:13:49 GMT -6
Bast and Ellen To be fair, the whole reformed thing is actually pretty perfect considering Sebastian is more confident - not to mention way too old to still be getting bullied Dx But seeing as I still haven't forgiven some of the girls that were dicks to me in school, I can easily see how it'll still make for some awkward and maybe even hostile encounters. This might even be good for Sebastian - he could do with some backbone! I feel like we need a group sitch to ruin with all of their tension.
Tbh, I actually kinda wish Sebastian was different so they could be friends. Ellen's my kind of gal!

*waves* HaiHai Jelleh. I'm Kam from the cbox, even though I'm sure that was already a given. So I have a few little ladies that I thought you may be interested in.
VERA & SEBASTIAN She's currently a first year college student at the academy whose also apart of the Security Staff. So she'd probably be almost everywhere around the Academy. She's also a bit more on the wilder side, so she can be a bit blunt, sassy even. Really depends on how she feels. Doesn't really censor herself as much as she should so I'm not sure how Sebastian would feel about her.
ONEYKA & SEBASTIAN Onnie is eighteen and recently transferred from the sister school in Africa to Bellefonte after the IMAC competitions so she's here for good now. She's really nice and understanding and absolutely loves it here in America so far and she just loves to make friends. She's really proper and loves learning new things, loves studying with others, discussing life in general, book reading... all of that jazz and I'm pretty sure she'd more than likely adore Sebastian. (She also needs more friends as well).
BROOKLYN & SEBASTIAN My seventeen year old psionic possessor. She was born and raised in the same town as the school. She isn't shy but she just doesn't like having all eyes on her, out of the fact that she takes her privacy very seriously. I think she doesn't really think about how others may feel when she speaks her mind, and usually wears her emotions on her sleeves. And I guess she really is just trying to get by day to day.
and I just brought back my lovely... JADE, who pretty much does what she wants and says what she feels without wanting to give away too much of herself. She's also now trying to become more sociable and friendlier but that may not always work how she'd like.
I also have FARAH as well but she's a recruiter/main office receptionist from the UK.
Oh, and also my PLOT PAGE if you're interested in checking that out.
Post by Frank "Sunny" Laffont on Feb 14, 2015 2:57:42 GMT -6
Hey Jelleh; I am Fate, and it's late, so I probably shouldn't be attempting to write up a thread request BUT I'MA DO IT ANYWAY.
Bast x Zoe : I'm sure there have been others pointing out the whole possible girl friend who has no potential to be a girl friend, and Zoe could fit that role very well, as she's a super-lesbian in a committed relationship. She also happens to be extremely nice and British.
Bast x Frank : Frank is aggressively friendly and befriends everyone. She also spent a few years at the British mutant school. She's likely to be a bit more flirty than Zoe (and by a bit I mean a lot). She'll likely run into Bast if he sticks around, since that happens.
Bast x Beau : Beau's the laidback Southerner, but he's also not a huge fan of bullies. He's been known to step in the way and help people, especially by befriending the bullied. So he'd likely befriend or potentially has already befriended Bast before.
I also have oodles of other chars, most of whom have open threads and/or are available if you feel the urge: Elsa (the bitchy Bellefonte);Tim (blogger, activist and nerd); & Demi (aggressive cultist & security squad ); Humphries (cat staff); Charity (quirky trainer)

*shuffles in* Sorry for taking a while to reply folks, had a busy weekend. In fact, there's a good chance I'm still hungover D: Anyway, KAM:
Sebastian and Vera Okay, so these two I can't really see getting along as I think she may be a little bit too much for Bast to handle xD
Sebastian and Onnie These two on the other hands, I can definitely see hitting it off. I feel like the fact that they're both so far from home would help them bond, whilst their good natures practically mean they have to be friends. I could actually quite easily see Onnie being a contender for Bast's little unrequited crush. She's still relatively new to the school though right, so we could even start with their first meeting? I have a few ideas for this if you're interested ^^
Sebastian and Brook I honestly don't know how Sebastian would react to Brook which makes me want to thread with her immediately, haha. She sounds (at least to Sebastian) like the Marmite of people - you know, he'd either love her, or hate her. We may have to explore this in a thread for me to make up my mind!
Post by Sebastian Swift on Feb 16, 2015 6:56:29 GMT -6
Aaaand Fate: (I have actually been meaning to post on your plot page for ages, you have so many wonderful characters)
Sebastian and Zoe Okay, so this needs to happen. Partly because they are both British, and partly because Zoe is exactly the kind of bestie I wanted for Sebastian! She's artistic and interesting and all of those things Sebastian wishes he was. I think he definitely would have had a crush on her, but he'd have gotten over it once he realised it was never going to be reciprocated. Words cannot describe how much I need to put these two together. Zoe is totally the sister that Bast never knew he wanted ^^
Sebastian and Frank So Frank is going to be intimidating as shit to Sebastian, but she seems like one of those BA fixtures that's impossible to avoid, haha. Generally speaking though, Bast would probably try and avoid her. Especially if she flirts with him. Oh god. I don't think his awkward self could handle that xD (and therefore it must happen)
Sebastian and Beau Well, Beau just sounds like an absolute freaking sweetheart. Sebastian also had a pretty proper upbringing, and if Beau had his back even once then he'll have Bast's loyalty for life.
Sebastian and Tim They're roomies, I think? So they should probably be bros. Sebastian's not the biggest nerd in the world, but he probably has more in common (in terms of taste) with Tim than with the rest of BA's male population.
