SEBASTIEN LENOIRE
It's not my fault that I'm so good looking,
and it's not my fault that I've got something cooking,
and just look into these eyes to let you know that
I'm the master of disguise.

.basic info
Name: Sebastien Lenoire
Nickname: Seb is the only nickname he’ll respond to, but people get creative with his name. However, he’ll pointedly ignore you if you try anything along the lines of Sebby, Crabs, Bastien, or anything of that nature.
Age: Seventeen
Birthday: July 7, 1991. Yeah, he’s a Cancer. As in the crab? As in Sebastien from the little mermaid? Hah, hah. Yeah, shut your mouth, he’s heard it before.
Nationality: French.
.appearance
Hair Color: Various shades of blond, depending on the time of the year. Sometimes it’s a darker golden colour, others it’s a lighter sandy colour.
Eye Color: Light blue
Height: 5”8. Yeah, okay, shut up. What he lacks in height, he makes up for in charm.
Clothes Style: Sebastien has an impeccable sense of style. He doesn’t feel the need to stand out by means of those tacky “unique” looks boys are throwing together nowadays. He believes wholeheartedly that you don’t need to dress like a ridiculous moron to have a unique sense of style. He has a classic style. He’s very clean cut, with his clothes always smelling like fresh laundry and meticulously pressed. He will firmly say that his sophisticated style is an achievement of character. Even now that Eddingborough has stomped on his ability to wear sleek blazers, crisp shirts, form fitting sweaters and tailored pants, he makes sure that his uniform is always clean, ironed and debonair.
Basic Appearance: If you haven’t figured it out, Sebastien is well-groomed and proud. This is not to say that he is obsessed with his appearance. He just believes that a young man should always look presentable. His fussily styled hair is always parted deeply to the side. He uses conditioner and is not afraid to admit it. He is on the shorter side, but well built. He has a masculine bone structure (but with impeccable cheekbones; he figures many girls would kill for them). He has a strong jaw and square chin. Before he grew into it, kids would call him Boxhead because of his facial structure. But now.. well. You can see he grew into it. He carries himself with grace and elegance, his shoulders back and chin up. He has a bit of a swagger.
.attitude
Talents: Sebastien is one of those obnoxious people who is naturally good at most everything he tries. He can achieve passing marks without studying, adapt to scores of different sports, sing up a storm, uphold a rad debate and about anything else. The thing is, he doesn’t give a damn. He doesn’t care enough to apply himself to anything. Not to his studies, or to sports, or to music. Nothing.
Likes: Sleeping, arguing, messing with people, doing things he knows his parents would hate, purposefully upsetting people, getting people to like him, money, sex, staring too long at people in the hallways to make them uncomfortable, asking blunt questions.
Dislikes: People who worry too much, nerds, whiners, people who don’t care what they look like, 1st and 2nd years, teachers, rules, censorship, homework, being forced to do anything.
Fears: He’d never admit it, but the sight of a snake would probably make him cry. He also fears losing his mother. He’s kind of a mama’s boy.
Strengths: He’s a strong conversationalist, and he frequently uses this power for evil. He enjoys testing the boundaries of his classmates. He’s not afraid to manipulate and lie to get what he wants. He can pull it off without suspicion because of his charm and way with words. He’s incredibly polite and charismatic, but it’s hard to tell when he’s bullshitting you or being genuine.
Weaknesses: Sometimes, Sebastien doesn’t know exactly what it is that he wants. As stated above, he often straddles the line between being genuine with other people, and being a total fake. He often loses himself in the sport of fucking with other people.
He is also incredibly lazy and unable to apply himself. While he sees his “take things as they come” attitude as a strength, he never gets anything done because he is so calm and chilled all the time.
Dreams: Supporting himself. As much as he brags about his well-to-do parents, he doesn’t want to be living off of mom and dad’s pretty penny forever.
Personality: Sebastien Lenoire changes frequently, depending on who he’s dealing with. However, there’s a couple common threads connecting his various personas.
Sebastien the Charmer: Seb is definitely the boy his mama raised him to be. If he wants to be, he is charming, charismatic, polite and respectful. The boy knows his manners, thank you very much, and he looks down on anyone who don’t share the same talent. He is able to easily win people over, with a mixture of his winning smile, and his ability to lie through his teeth. He has a load of control over his emotions, and so, if it benefits him, he can pretend to be best friends with his worst enemy. This skill was honed through the mass amounts of sophisticated dinner parties his parents hosted throughout his childhood. After spending so much time with despicable, two-dimensional socialites, Sebastien knows how to deal with people he hates.
Sebastien the Jerk: Yeah, that’s right. Just because he has the ability to act perfectly pleasant and friendly doesn’t mean he’s going to always exercise that talent. Some people just deserve Sebastien’s antics. As easily as he can butter people up with false praise and win them over, Seb can also tear them down and send them crawling back to that cold dark hole they came from. He can spin a mean insult, and won’t hold back if he feels it’s needed. Sometimes, he completely disregards the consequences of his words. If he wants to hurt someone, he will. Sometimes he regrets it. Sometimes he doesn’t.
Sebastien the Pleasure Junkie: Anything that is fun, dangerous and bad for you? Sebastien will eat it up. He’s constantly searching for new highs. Sex, love, drugs, people, adventure, danger, exhilarating lies, pranks. Anything that will get him buzzing. He’s a lover. He believes in free love. He believes in sex, experimenting, touching, connecting, communicating with his body. He’s not afraid to express his opinions about all things physical. He’ll talk about sex conversationally, blatantly announce his desires and actively search for new and exciting opportunities. Don’t try and talk to him about ‘sexuality’. He’ll laugh in your face. As far as he’s concerned, sex is sex, lips are lips, bodies are bodies, touching is touching, and connecting with another human being on a level as beautiful as sex…well, it’s all the same. Don’t you dare try and stifle this boy. His blatant sexual nature his how he expresses himself.
Sebastien the Businessman: Seb is NOT going to live off his parents bank account forever. Even though it’s completely unneeded, Sebastien has been finding ways to make his own money since he was younger. He is obsessed with being individual, and not dependent on his parents, even though they are readily willing to support him as long as he needs. Before, his attempts were small and cute. Mowing lawns, walking dogs, and (god forbid) babysitting. Now? He’s found something much more to his liking. He’s Eddingborough’s resident dealer. Need something to get you buzzing? He’ll set you up. This may be the only thing he’s applied himself to. Why? Because now, people are dependent on him, and he loves that sense of power.
.ze past
Family Members: Adrien and Sandrine Lenoire. Adrien was one of those stereotypical distant cold fathers. The catch? Sebastien could care less. He understands that his father has a life, a career, and a status to keep up. He doesn’t feel the need to be showered with love. He connects deeply with his mother, who treats him like an adult, rather than a child. She trusts him to make correct decisions, and to become an individual. Sebastien likes that. He doesn’t want to be babied.
Hometown: He was born and raised just outside of Paris, but moved to the states when he was nine. Before Eddingborough, he lived with his parents in Chicago.
History: Covered most of it above, but to expand… Sebastien was raised around adults. He hardly spent time with kids his own age, except for in school. However, in school, he always found himself carrying on intelligent conversations with teachers rather than dealing with the students, who always seemed below him. He loved dealing with ideas, with the abstract. He became a bit of a snob. He was, essentially, a rich brat. Growing up, he started losing the desire to apply himself, knowing that things would be handed to him on a silver platter if he snapped his fingers. His parents let him do whatever he wanted, as long as he remained a faithful smiling face at their sophisticated parties. Sebastien happily obliged. He loved feeling mature and important, which he got to do at the parties. Now, he’s at Eddingborough for a change of scenery. He’s aware of the reputation of the school, and still doesn’t give a damn.
