P E R S O N A L I T Y

Underneath his cold, snarky disposition is a man that wants to belong somewhere, though he'd never admit to such foolishness. Self sufficient, self serving; the self is his number one priority. From a rough childhood, to a lifetime of experience, he has learned that the only dependable thing in his life is himself. Thus social graces are lost on him, and 'making friends' is something he has much difficulty with. A survivalist at heart, the necessities of life drive him: food, shelter, money, yet none of which are ever his in abundance.

He wants to be a man who calls his own shots, but does not have that luxury or patience. He is about as helpful as the hammer is to the nail; quick, short and to the point. On the surface he does not seem to have a sentimental, sympathetic bone in his body, but that is an outward showing. A tad childish when it comes to things he does not like, namely sunshine or crowded spaces. Fears becoming attached to others, as history has told him it is not better to have loved and lost as the pain of loss cuts deep and permanently.

A P P E A R A N C E

Distinct features include intense silver eyes, silver hair, elongated ears, and two very deep scars over his left eye. Sebastien is taller and thinly than most of his peers, but toned in obvious places from combat and hard-labor. Hands are extremely calloused, knuckles scarred and fingers permanently cracked in places. Is missing two toes on his right foot from hypothermia when he was a child. Usually walks with a slump in his shoulders, but never fully relaxes when sitting or sleeping. It is obvious by the way he stands, or carries himself, that he is always on edge, always expecting something to happen. Body is riddled with marks, scars and the like from exposure to the elements from Coerthas. Nose is slightly crooked, possibly from being broken once and not setting right. Restless sleeping keeps his eyes sunken; dark circles highlight his bright eyes. Usually wears a smirk in public to keep random people from approaching.

L I K E S ■ Personal Space. Covets an invisible field around his person. ■ Arctic Climate. Used to the cold to the point he prefers it. ■ Silence. Peace can only be found within the absence of sound. ■ Ale. His drink of choice at least once a day.

D I S L I K E S ■ Touching. Personal space should not be violated. ■ Sweets. Cannot stand anything with sugar in it. ■ Clear Skies/Sunshine. Eyes and skin are too sensitive to enjoy a 'perfect' day. ■ Crowded Places. The body count, and the noise, would drive him insane.

Q U I R K S ■ Cynical. Self-involved, and believes there is no such thing as a 'good' person/place/thing. ■ Independent. He is his own man, and those be damned who wish to change that. ■ Risk/Reward. The bigger the risk, the better chance at a hefty reward. ■ Action First. Doesn't bother with the whole 'talking first' kind of tactic.

H I S T O R Y

There are various plot hooks that can be used from Sebastien's history alone. Please see the OOC tab to view a few listed.

Disclaimer: Consider this section to be a constant Work In Progress.

Childhood Abandoned In Coerthas Any period of time before the age of six as been forgotten from either stress induced trauma, or lack of caring to remember. An Elezen woman, and her disabled father, found Sebastien in an abandoned building and took him under their care (Alsette & Aufrort Mouteloux). He was given their last name (not legally), and was passed off as their own even if he didn't look a thing like the dark-haired trio. They nicknamed him 'Sly' as he learned the trade of begging and quick-thinking rather easily. The trio roamed between the difference camps in Coerthas, losing weight and health due to the declining number of folks who pitied their plight. The years took their toll, and finally the eldest died from exposure. In her grief the woman took Sebastien to a small, guarded camp, and pleaded with the men to keep an eye on him as she left to find a place for them to live. She never returned. Sebastien was eleven, or so he surmised. Not knowing what to do with an orphaned boy, the guards gave him enough pity to feed him, and sometimes shelter him, and some even took him under wing and taught him how to fight. When the men changed stations, the newest arrivals would be told of the 'camp mut', under un-offical orders to keep him from dying or getting into trouble. Some would outright ignore him, but there were always a decent few that would show kindness. The camp Sebastien 'lived' at finally closed down and relocated elsewhere, forcing him to move on and fend for himself. By this time he was fourteen, and while still rather weak and scared, he was prepared to do what he could to take care of himself. Unfortunately the lengthy stretch of days he would sometimes have to endure before he found a camp, or caught a wild rabbit for food, eventually wore down his resolve and provoked him to steal when the chance arose. This lead to less scavenging independently, and more easy pickings, which then lead to him being caught and detained.

Growing up The Rebellious Scavenger The officiator in Coerthas was located inside Camp Dragonhead, and Sebastien was marched there to receive punishment for his transgressions. Either by luck, or fate, did he meet up with a guardsman who knew him from his scavenging days at camp (Ofleux Zourent). For some reason the man decided to claim charge over him, and planned to put him to work to wipe away his crimes. The Commander at the time thought the idea just, and so Sebastien was an un-offical errand boy for the camp. For a few years Sebastien was content doing as he was told, since the payment for such was a place to sleep, and food to eat every night. But when puberty hit, a fierce need to be more independent gnawed inside him. And while he worked his debt off, he was also being trained as a lancer. The limitations on his freedom weighed him down, and soon the price of food and shelter wasn't enough to keep him locked down and out of sight. When he cleared his charges from the Commander, he told his mentor and guardian Ofleux that he would be venturing out of camp to learn to live by himself again. Ofleux did not sanction the idea, claiming Sebastien wasn't ready, but that didn't stop the boy. He left the camp on not so good terms with his only friend, and a man that was almost like a father to him. It wasn't long before Sebastien found trouble in the guise of a company of mercenaries seeking more 'muscle' for their cause. Fhruhwolk Loetbyrt was the leader of about thirteen goons, and he offered Sebastien riches, fame, and as much combat as the young scamp wanted, which all sounded too good to be true, but Sebastien was naive about that saying at the time. For awhile their schemes were directed at other rough brigands over turf or hunting grounds. But one such plot, to take down a large caravan as it crossed a dangerous part of Coerthas, changed Sebastien's outlook forever. The caravan made camp in a notorious area in Coerthas known for Downy Aevis nesting. While Loetbyrt's group tried to overtake the small amount of guards hired to protect the caravan, Aevis' flocked down upon the chaos and laid waste to almost everyone. Guards were sent to the site to try and rescue survivors admist the war-scene, and one such guard was Sebastien's friend Ofleux. The guard found Sebastion alive but barely just, and had to have a showdown with a surviving dragon to get Sebastien to safety. It cost Ofleux his life.

UPON CHARACTER CREATION Tempered Into Stone ❄Sold his services as a mercenary, even though he wasn't very good in his youth. After a few years he gained the reputation of being a dedicated and quick-thinking hand-for-hire under the alias The Silver Fox. ❄Spent a year in an Ul'dah prison camp for not snitching on a merchant he worked for that had dealt in shady business dealings. His contacts and business opportunities were too far and few between to lose one over some silly law-breaking. He was rewarded with more work when he was finally released. Unfortunately that merchant ended up murdered a few months later. ❄Allowed his body to be purchased on a few occasions due to lack of work. To this day it was the most detestable kind of work he has had to endure, that includes his work within the prison camps. Has a sensitivity over being touched from the experiences now, and prefers to never again be a toy. ❄ ❄ TBD ❄ TBD

ARTWORK

O O C

OOC INFORMATION Player Notes The line in between IC and OOC is very important to me. While I do seek to make friends and connections OOC, it might be quite the opposite IC, and that should always be considered separately. For the most part I'm usually focused on my characters, and while I do love to 'shoot the shit' I prefer to focus on in-game things when I'm in-game. I do not use other means of messaging to RP, with the exception of Tumblr, so reaching me is restricted to in-game and my blog. I write characters who will eventually evolve and grow, and want to share those experiences with anyone else willing. I will never give permission to anyone to be able to control any of my characters, and I would never ask to control a character that was not my own. Decisions within plots must keep that in mind. I am willing to join up and support almost any plot offered, or needed, and hope the same courtesy will be shown my way. With limited time for gaming, I will try to be active and engaged with any plot I am a part of, but there is only so much I can do in one day. Usually my work schedule will be brought up if a plot has landed in my lap, because I don't want anyone feeling like they are being misled, but I hope this won't deter anyone from plotting with me. If I'm to be extremely busy, or a plot is taking off super quick, I'll offer a way to keep me in the loop to compensate. Personal RP Limits ■ I will play just about anything mature within reason. ■ Ask about Injuries, dependances, and relationship advancements. ■ I won't play Permanent death, intentional abuse, or rape plots. Disclaimer ■ If ever there is a time that I do or say something that makes you uncomfortable, please /tell me at once. No, I will not be hurt or offended, but relieved that I can make amends(if allowed) for my transgression.

CHARACTER TIDBITS Links Out Links that lead off the wiki, but are technically relevant to the character. ■ Partially IC Tumblr: Carnival of Oschon Potential Plot Hooks ■ Ran with the same band of misfit mercenaries before Sebastien left due to a scheme gone wrong. ■ A guard and/or merchant stationed in Coerthas where Sebastien did the majority of his 'business'. ■ Had been part of a rescue team after a camp was viciously attacked by Downy Aevis'. ■ Want to hire him for any sort of work that involves conflict/killing/hunting/body guarding. ■ An opposing mercenary trying to compete with Sebastien's contacts. ■ An Ishgardian that would recognize his last/surname. ■ Some one from the past he swindled in his youth. Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe Ciceroix Lanverlais. ■ Dark and Troubled The past has toyed with him. ■ Ineffectual Loner Deep rooted trust issues persuade Sebastien to keep most at arms length. ■ Nerves of Steel He knows conflict. He trusts it, and can feel the most in control when chaos surrounds him. ■ Jerkass Facade If there is a threat of someone getting too close, plan B kicks in to ward off any BBF's or potential lovers.
