BIOGRAPHY
tw: drug addiction
Sebastian Cox was the kind of person most people would call lucky. He grew up in an upper middle class household and, being the only child, he was both adored and spoiled by his parents. His father pushed him into sports at a very young age while his mother urged him into the arts, such as music and drawing. In the end, he had chosen music. He hadnât always been the best when it came to his studies but music came so easily to him because it was dependent on sound, and he had been born with the blessing of perfect pitch. It certainly made his relationship with his mother stronger since she had been a former musician herself. Despite that, he grew up with sports his entire life and became somewhat of a golden child in that respect â top of his class in football, basketball, soccer, and lacrosse throughout high school, Sebastian had his pick of scholarships after graduation. However, Sebastian chose to pursue music. His high school rock band had been pretty good and they decided to head out to California and try to get a record deal. His parents didnât think that was the right choice for their son but they let him go anyway.
It was in California that things changed for Sebastian. It took a few years but eventually his band became somewhat big in the indie rock world. They had a few more good years of fame and glory before Sebastian  began to use drugs. At first it had been fun and thrilling, but as time went on, it became an addiction that was taking its toll on the band. His bandmates forced him into an intervention and later into rehab. While they were scheduled to do a comeback tour, that was when Sebastianâs mother called him to come back home because his father had passed away from a heart attack. He came home briefly and slipped back into old habits in order to deal with the grief. He stayed only a few months before he went back to California and began tour with his band once again. During that time, his drug use had gotten out of control again, and this time the band decided to permanently disband until he got his shit together for real. Thatâs how Sebastian ended back up in Philadelphia.
With no band to lead, a drug addiction that he was in danger of falling back into any second, and very little money, Sebastian went back home to live with his mother and to get better. He has been back in Philadelphia for six months now and teaches music part-time to earn some cash. At this point in his life, Sebastian finds himself at a crossroads while trying to figure out what he really wants out of life. He isnât sure whether he wants to reunite his band and continue music, or set it aside and move onto something more stable and healthy.
Personality-wise, Sebastian is your typical ego-centric front-man of a band. He coasts on his good looks and charm while being completely unaware of his less-than-acceptable qualities. While heâs passionate about music, he lets his vices get the best of him. He relies heavily on his talent to get him through the door and nine times out of ten itâs enough. He tends to have alpha-male energy which makes him susceptible to butting heads with everyone over anything. Somewhat of a loose canon at times, Sebastian does have some better qualities âheâs ambitious and passionate about music, whether thatâs writing lyrics or creating melodies, itâs the one thing in his life he make sure to put careful care into. Because he grew up with a doting mother who told him he was nothing less than perfect, he often needs an ego check. Heâs extroverted and charismatic which makes it easy for him to make friends wherever he goes. But heâs also inconsiderate and doesnât always think before he speaks, which makes it just as easy for him to create enemies wherever he goes. Despite that, Sebastian is working to be a better version of himself.
SEB COX has the face claim of MATTHEW DADDARIOÂ and is played by SAM.
