Tell us about your Sebastian...

scarletpeaches · Aug 5, 2007

...because he deserves his own thread.

A popular name it seems, but what makes yours stand out?

Okay, here goes. Mine is from a WIP I recently edited, rewrote, fiddled with, subbed to agents. So far I've had one partial request. The book's called Bird of Prey but I'm thinking of changing it to Closer.

His name's Sebastian Dickson and another character nicknames him Sebastian Dickhead...he's in his early thirties, married, and has an affair with the female MC. He's a secondary character, not what I'd call minor, just not one of the three main players.

So there's the only Seb I've ever written about.

Tell us about yours.

great thread scarlet! rep point for you

haha

So my Sebatian is actually Sebastiano Dragomirescu Brueissuet. He's half-witch (dad's side), half-vampire(mom's side). He's 17, doesn't do much with his life, his girlfriend just cheated on him so he's kind of depressed...oh, and he's not a very good witch and he's got a vampire disease, so he's kind of a let down on both sides of the family.

cry

Right now he's a secondary character, but he'll get his own book in the series (book 10, I believe, though it might change to 8). Then his dad sends him to a boarding school in Northwestern Italy to be a better witch, where people are going to laugh at his vampire heritage, his spellcasting, etc.

He's got a sad life.

But don't worry...he'll show them all in the end. :partyguy:

My Sebastian, the one I just made up, is an Angel in disguise. He and his two cohorts have taken the guise of three tabby cats. They have to protect Keith, the smelly teenager that's going to grow up and change the universe.

I....I have no Sebastion.

I feel ashamed. :gone:

Sebastian Grappelmeyer Pigsfoot-Captain of the USS Fascist-an intergalactic gun boat searching for the hated Gregorian Chants-a horrid race of monk like singers!

But you have 4,444 posts and that ALMOST makes up for it.

I just spoiled it with a kiss.....

I'll make up a Sebastian, just for you. He's spoiled, vain, naughty and he knows it. Women find him irresistible. They know he's wrong for them. They know he's bad. They know he won't be there in the morning, but they can't help it.

Being Sebastian, he always gets what he wants. Who is Nichola to tell him no? How can she possibly be immune to his charms. He must have her. He will simply have to convince her that he is the perfect man for her.

ETA: Step one: He will ply her with wine, chocolates and Joachim Phoenix movies at candle light.

Zoombie · Aug 5, 2007

If I ever met that Sebastian, I'd have him shot.

And women would stand in line to take the bullet for him.

Sad fact of the world.

Zoombie · Aug 5, 2007

Fine, I'd have him poisoned secretly.

Well Girl you know they where crotchless knickers under their robes don't cha? Evil they are-but then again maybe they could be saved by a valiant heroin like Goddessa Gingivitas Toothleepegfangs-she is out and about I hear.

Sorry Miss Scarlet I will slink off-did not mean to piratate yer thread!

That's the spirit. He's probably got it coming and the police would never run out of suspects.

Zoombie · Aug 5, 2007

Well that's a good.

Funnily enough, my Sebastian is kind of a whiner. He goes on and on about how much he hates his job, and how it is below his status. He used to fight daemons and protect godlings...and now look at him.

He's a cat!

His partners are taking their job much better. Though Yolanda beomens the fact that the kid they have to protect doesn't read any of the classics.

Soccer Mom · Aug 5, 2007

What is it with Sebastians? Why can't they simply be pleased with what they have.

More, more, more.

Greedy gluttons.

Azraelsbane · Aug 5, 2007

Ok, I have a truckload of characters, but none named Sebastion. One of my MCs practices at a shooting range called The Bastion...does that count?

reenkam · Aug 5, 2007

Well, the name means venerable or revered, so maybe they all want to be worshipped...

necia phoenix · Aug 5, 2007

I... I don't have a Sebastian either..

hmm....

I can't even think of where to put one... I have so many WIP's that I'm sure I can put a Sebastian in somewhere...

Azure Skye · Aug 5, 2007

I had a real life Sebastian, my beautiful Cocker Spaniel. I miss him very much. He even made his way into my book, as a fuzzy companion to the MC.

Hilarious thread.

I'm dying to name a character Sebastian, but if I keep using all my favorite names on characters I won't have any left for my kids. And Sebastian is worth saving.

My kids are going to feel extremely awkward when they realize that all of their names were pre-used for my characters...though, I guess whoever gets to be the Seba with the vampire-witch inspiration might feel pretty cool...

Though, of course, there's always going to be Albus Severus, the Coolest Kid on the Playground and the King of the Swings

Sebastian Stoney is a rival big brother who puts his sister down and teases her in a way that you could never mistake him for anything but family. He's a bit of a control freak but when it all comes down to it, he would die to protect his little sister, which he eventually does.

I knew a guy at college named Sebastian Gunningham (from Argentina, no less), and since it's impossible to improve upon that name, I haven't tried.

NicoleMD · Aug 5, 2007

My Sebastian is an angsty teenaged Sasquatch, who runs away from home to pursue life as a carnie. He falls in love with the bearded lady, develops a fondness for moonshine and saltwater taffy, but then has his heart trampled on when he discovers his lady has been untrue.

Sebastian returns home, humbled and twice the man he was when he left, only to discover that his father's been slain by evil werewolf pimps. With his three little brothers to look after, Sebastian realizes what big shoes he has to fill.
