Biography:
Sebastian was raised to be part of new york’s elite for as long as he can remember : he was introduced to the best families, enrolled in the best schools, taken care of by… the best nannies. none of which made him any less of a pain in the ass in the end — he never cared about status and would hang out with whomever came along the way. he was always a troublemaker at heart. His father was cold and calculating, very demanding and frequently disappointed. Sebastian would always find a way to do or say something that displeased him —- and as time went by, he made ‘how can i disappoint my old man today?’ into a hobby. Their morals and views never quite aligned, and Sebastian always enjoyed adding a little fuel to the fire. His mother was the entire opposite: she babied him to the point he felt smothered. He couldn’t play with other kids, couldn’t swim in the pool without someone watching over him like a hawk— couldn’t even cut his own food until he was like 13. He loves her, always has, but this attitude of hers only turned him into a thrill seeker when he got to his teens. He’d do everything — from skydiving to scuba diving. if there was something that would nearly give his mom a heart attack, he wanted to do it. this included a stream of girls his parents didn’t necessarily approve of.
Sebastian was never too concerned with gender roles - another thing that made his old man mad. Feminine or masculine never made a difference to him, if there was something he wanted to wear or something he wanted to do, those labels never held him back from pursuing his desires. His father wasn’t particularly kind or patient either, and he was at work more often than he was at home, and his mother would often be at parties or gallas, and things of the sort. for the most part, Sebastian was actually raised by nannies that came and went, because nobody could stand this devil child for too long. This inability to develop attachment resulted in sebastian alienating himself from the concept of family in general and just overall avoiding relationships later on in life, bc he didn’t believe people would stick around
He was never denied anything —- which was not necessarily a good thing in retrospect. Since he always had everything handed to him, Sebastian never actually saw a reason to do anything with his life. He went to uni for creative writing, after dropping out of medicine and law. He quit most things in his life, and definitely has a problem committing. He’s a writer, but only when he wants to be. He doesn’t take anything seriously, and has a problem admitting he’s passionate about anything.
He developed a problem w narcotics when he was around 16/17 and drinking. but his father wasn’t so much concerned for his well-being as much as he was concerned that his son was a bum, so he got scolded and never actually got help for it. Briefly went into therapy after jumping off the rooftop straight into the pool during a party, and getting fourteen stitches on his head. After the incident, which made it to page six, naturally, his parents agreed to exile him to Tonopah Falls, where he couldn’t damage his family’s reputation.
