quirks. clicks teeth together when thinking or just to annoy someone, always seems to have some sort of snack with him, picking out the purple jelly beans, never without his cell phone
aspirations. become the number one publicist, have several dogs-- possibly basset hounds or bull dogs, purchase a second vacation home somewhere outside of the US, make a will when he's forty-three, have one true friendship just because
secrets. is deathly afraid of long-term relationships-- thought of marriage makes him ill and gives him hives, he solemnly vows to remain a bachelor his entire life with fleeting relationships throughout, considers his mother a gold-digger, is currently going through a mid-life crisis and doing irresponsible stuff
personality evaluated.first and foremost, sebastian is probably the least health-conscious individual around. he spends his time snacking on junk foods-- his favorite being sour cream and onion pringles-- and typically has something on him at all times. food is his kryptonite; the man could easily be bought with a package of twinkies. though to be fair, he does balance this out with a high metabolism and regular trips to the gym, as he's got to keep in shape somehow.
indeed, sebastian is a bit vain at times. it is all about the image-- his image, really. he is nothing short of professional, as this is what clientele will base their opinions on. an untucked shirt could mean the loss of a potential a-lister that could put his company on the market. so, sebastian dresses for the part. he prefers button-down shirts and slacks, with a jacket to make it look casual. one thing about him though, he is very immaculate about his shoes. the man can spend hours shopping around for the best soles, best-looking pair. in his mind, feet are very important ( they carry you everywhere! ) and it wouldn't due to clothe them in sub-par wear. typically, dress shoes are his favorite. yet, he's got a habit of carrying a handkerchief around just in case he spots a bit of dirt hiding their shine.
he is a socialite. sebastian gets along with a wide variety of people, and he enjoys attention. conversing is easy for him-- the man can small talk with the best of them. in fact, he prefers these superficial face-to-face encounters. it leaves out the unnecessary drama. also, it saves him from befriending someone he really wouldn't want in his life to begin with. sebastian is a very flighty individual. he wanders from one group to the next, taking names and making contacts where it is most prudent. career is first, then play. he's got to make a buck just like everyone else.
whenever he isn't trying to impress people, he is known to be a rather petulant, irresponsible, and even reckless individual. at the moment, sebastian is going through his mid-life crisis-- he's even bought himself a motorcycle to "compensate" for the wrinkles starting to set in. he has that devil-may-care quality, and yet can throw a tantrum if things don't progress the way he sees fit. though he is not violent; sebastian is verbal. he likes to express his anger through words and rarely ever would he resort to physical means. to him, such violence never seems to solve anything.
sebastian solemnly swears to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life. this can be blamed on his mother and her chronic divorce habits. it's lead the man to believe that relationships are definitely more of a hazard than a blessing. they're a curse he wouldn't wish upon anybody. at the first sign of argument, he's likely to walk out of a relationship or give up entirely-- for clearly, if they argue then they aren't in love. besides, he's not so sure "love" exists. lust, yes. and he feels people fall in and out of lust too damn often for him to want to take that risk. he would rather enjoy the company of women without any of the attachments involved. and children? definitely not for him.

history evaluated.oo1. sebastian vaughan st. james born in san diego, california. unfortunately, nolan st. james and his wife had already split three months earlier ( the divorce papers being signed ), on account of her unfaithfulness ( which never provided hard evidence of ). he was her second husband; their marriage lasted about two and a half years. meredith got full custody of sebastian, plus half of everything nolan owned.
oo2. was moved from san diego to los angelos. meredith followed the man she cheated with and the two later married. jeff was not a very nice step-father in that he really only wanted the woman and not her kid. sebastian spent a good amount of the next year being ignored by his mother and badmouthed by this man. thankfully, the live-in nanny was nice enough.
oo3. showed to be quite an intelligent kid. learned to read and write from an early age. by the time he began elementary school, his mother had already moved onto guy number four. in fact, he had a rather lavish upbringing with all the contraband she brought in from her repeat divorces; they sat on a small fortune before long. meredith liked to spoil her son. he was even put into private school so that average kids wouldn't corrupt him.
oo4. thought of himself with a slightly elevated, cocky air. actually got picked on quite a bit in private school. sebastian often came home with black eyes and suspensions for fighting-- the other kids said it was because his mother was a slut and he didn't belong. this all went on as meredith got another divorce and started seeing a new man, avery emerson.
oo5. avery was not a bad surrogate father to sebastian. actually, avery was the reason the boy learned how to defend himself. he also took him on special trips like to go hunting, camping, and that sort of thing. plans were even made to learn to golf together. meredith gave him a son, bradley, before the two actually married.
oo6. sebastian was put in charge of his little brother. learned how to care and feed a baby. got great enjoyment in reading bradley to sleep every night-- it made him feel accomplished. however, he did feel a bit forgotten in the thunder of his brother. bradley was the baby, so he got all the attention.
oo7. sebastian started to act out in school on purpose. the principle would call his parents in quite frequently, and he sometimes got suspended for a few days. at home, he was punished by being delegated to his room, which only made the tantrums get worse. sometimes the neighbors would call to complain about the nasty language he was using.
oo8. his sister, sara, was born. something about the girl made him straighten his act. he wanted to be a good role model and protect her like a good, strong young man should-- or so avery told him. things settled for the small family and it looked like meredith had finally found the man for her. that was, until he proposed they move out of california and back to his home state: idaho.
oo9. after their divorce, avery was given part custody of the children. sebastian now only got to see his brother and sister every other two weeks. his mother was once again in the market for husband number six. she wouldn't find him until years later.
o10. sebastian graduated high school with honors. meredith coaxed him right into college, even though he initially wanted to take a two-year break from all the studying. she pushed him into management, as it would provide well for them both. as he was already accustomed to the finer things in life, the idea seemed swell to sebastian.
o11. finds he has a liking for college life. parties often, and socializes with many walks of life. there was a period where he experimented with drugs, but it didn't last long because his grades slipped and his mother freaked out. was given the ultimatum to straighten out or get out of her house.
o12. meredith married freddie after knowing him only two months-- they divorced just as quickly. though, he was a possessive man and took to stalking the woman long after they separated. sebastian manned the home and put in a burglary alarm to protect her. it wasn't until she met douglas that freddie got the hint they were through.
o13. sebastian really liked douglas, even though the man was just a decade older than himself. it felt like they were brothers and they got along well. their marriage was a shocker and depressed sebastian. he knew his mother would only lose interest in her current conquest and he'd no longer have a good friend. which, unfortunately, is exactly what happened. douglas lasted only eight months.
o14. upon graduation from college, sebastian took an internship to get the feel of the management business first. met a lot of important people and celebrities-- most of them b-listers. it wasn't long before he was offered a permanent position as a publicist. some of the contacts he made trusted him to handle their careers, which is what helped to get his own career rolling.
o15. meredith marries her current husband, scott cummings. sebastian has a new little brother, grayson, despite his mother's advanced age. as he's got his own place now, doesn't have much involvement in grayson's life besides the occasional weekend visit. by now, sebastian is embarrassed of his mother's chronic habit of marrying and divorcing men. he's also turned off by the idea of marrying himself, as he doesn't want to turn out like her.
o16. nearly got mugged one night walking home. the man pulled out a knife to threaten him and demanded sebastian hand over his wallet. the attacker got spooked by someone turning on a porch light and panicked, stabbing him in the side before running off. sebastian called an ambulance from the ground and waited thirty minutes for them to show. he was in the hospital for two weeks.
o17. after recovery, sebastian moved out of that neighborhood. he applied for a license to have his own publicist private practice, and began an independent company in a new section of town. this one far more upscale. with his recent news-covered debacle, it brought in fresh clientele. some of his old clientele had even made the switch to his new private practice, lending him credence. sebastian's socialite ways and many connections made him a quick favorite among the celebrities, for he could spot people who would want his business.
o18. had very few, fleeting relationships. most of whom were his very own clientele-- they got a little too close for business ethics. sebastian's flings weren't longer than a few months and even then, they were open relationships. he often saw two or more women for periods of time, and never kept them in the dark about each others' existence.
o19. once the wrinkles started to set in, sebastian began a midlife crisis. despite his mother's protests, he went out and bought himself a savvy looking harley. it made him feel young and cool, and it also was a babe magnet.
o20. sebastian is currently single. his company, though small, is starting to make a splash in the industry. at the moment, he's relying on witty remarks, good looks, and friends to get him where he is thus far.

roleplay sample."well i'm not going to get your truck back to you for another two hours, mrs. demmings. you're talking about a blown head gasket here. it's a wonder you even got it this far." ford sighed into the phone, tugging lightly at the strands of brown hair on his head while his mind thought up all sorts of things he could do to enact compensation. this woman had been squawking at him for nearly half and hour now, backing up the number of cars that were pulling into the garage, and complaining that their service wasn't quick enough. i need to get to my son's birthday party! it's in an hour, do you understand?! AN HOUR. "the bus costs fifty cents for old timers, lady. utilize it." ford slammed the phone down just as she was screeching that he had such gall to a, call her an old timer when she was only forty-seven, and b, suggest she even think of using public transportation. hanging up on a customer would, in theory, get him fired. however, as he held this position for many years and was one of the senior staff, it was doubtful. their garage was known to provide customers with good service and fair prices-- but they upheld the right to respond if a customer tried to exploit them in some fashion. besides, mrs. demmings brought her truck in every second saturday of each month for one reason or another. he had long since found out that she purposely sabotaged the vehicle to a, thwart her estranged husband who would have to pay for the bill anyway, and b, see ford.
it might have seemed cocky to state such a thing, but it was the truth. that woman had grabbed his junk on several occasions. okay, maybe it was more like pinch his butt once or twice-- but he hadn't been imagining it. if the bitch didn't like to complain about every little thing, he might have considered a sexual thing with her a long time ago. just to have some release once in a while. ford didn't think he could deal with someone so bitchy, though. it would be like having sex with a headache. the man picked up the nearest clip-board, trying to forget about the pointless call he endured and how much time he would have to make up for now. reading down the list, he noticed the chevrolet had some engine leak that the owner wanted to get looked at right away. shouldn't be too hard a task. besides, he had long since gotten dirty from grease and oil that climbing under a car didn't bother him anymore. just the other day, he never emerged blacked because the oil from some hummer had spilt all over his face. got him sick for a couple of days, but that was what the job was about. a man had to get down and dirty and worked for crappy pay. but it was something he loved, and something he could do-- thanks to his dad.
tossing away the clip board, he grabbed the toolbox and headed towards the green car. it was parked outside of the garage, as it hadn't been deemed one of the more serious cases. in fact, his harley was right next to it, gleaming a perfect shine of chrome and black right back at him. ford smirked to himself; he really did love that bike. practically built it from the ground up-- made it into what it was today. for a couple years now, it'd served him well as transportation. good enough for him. it was exhilarating being on one of those bikes; free, even. like most men did their vehicles, ford had even named it lacey, after an old basset hound he had as a kid. "looking good," he said as an aside to the bike, knowing full well it could do nothing but shine back at him. it was the perfect woman, almost. never talked back. never complained. and could be easily fixed. setting the toolbox on the ground in front of the chevrolet, ford crouched down and tried to peer under first to see if it could be fixed another way. soon, he laid back on the ground and shimmied underneath it to wear the engine oil was leaking out. dressed in a black wife beater and jeans that were covered in grease-- these were his typical uniform-- he was not concerned with getting his clothes screwed up.
as he worked on the leak in silence, his arms eventually growing tired from getting held up against gravity so long, he could hear someone walking around besides the chevrolet. ford paused, knowing that this person couldn't possibly be oblivious to his presence, as half his torso and his legs were sticking out from under the truck. then, it sounded as if they-- whoever this was-- was fiddling around with his bike. he heard the kickstand go up and that's when he flipped. nobody fucked around with lacey, and nobody was going to have the nerve to drive off with her when he was right there! "hey!" ford abandoned the leak now, scooting down so that he could see from under the car and look up at his perpetrator. instead, what he got a look at, was a shapely pair of long, tanned legs that went all the way up to cut-off shorts. ford's mouth went dry. damn. really, he already knew who was on the bike now and didn't need any more hints. trying to keep a look of outrage on his face-- why the hell did she always have to climb on lacey?!-- he rolled out from under the car and knelt in front of his friend, ang. "now just what in the hell you think you're doing, woman?" he accused, gesturing towards her and the fact that she was playing around on his bike. "that's not a toy. now get off." he sounded grumpy. but then again, nowadays, he found little to be carefree about.
