Sebastian Miller, D8

Sebastian is average. He stands an average 5'6 and a half, and weighs the mundane 150lbs. He has muscles that are substantial but not well defined, and his hands and feet are well within the limits of "normal".

Sebastian has shaggy brown hair that falls slightly into his hazel eyes. His eyelashes are long and curly, almost touching his thick eyebrows. My has an adorable one-sided smile and slightly crooked teeth. His tanned skin is dappled with freckles and large slightly darker discoloured portions that he has had since birth.

Sebastian has two fingers missing on his left hand, the index and the middle finger are severed from the first knuckle up, giving his appearance a something-is-not-quite-right vibe.

Sebastian's personal hygiene is impeccable, with smooth, slightly tanned, soap smelling skin and soft, shiny hair. He always smells faintly of pine and mint and his clothes feel freshly washed. His nails are kept short, but even, and the hair on his body is kept in neat order. He usually goes to extreme lengths to maintain this and sometimes, when he attacks a pimple or greasy hair with too much vigor he gets rashes or dry areas in the area. Once, when he was just beginning to go through puberty he got a particularly bad zit on his neck. He attacked it with all the home remedies for acne he had learnt, or heard about or could buy and ended up with a angry red scar spanning half of his neck.

What Sebastian lacks in aesthetics, he makes up for in quality.

Sebastian is kind and quiet, with a tendency for over-usage of dry humor. His light hearted manner, makes it easy to be around him and keeps him out of trouble, people trust him quickly. Sebastian loves to touch people, not in a gross way, but he just loves having personal contact and feeling connected to people. That's why he hates being sick.

Sebastian is a strong believer in peoples rights, and will always stand up for someone who is being bullied, even at the risk of his own safety. He stands firm for everything he believes in and has trouble admitting when he is wrong.

Though he doesn't get mad often, Sebastians anger is the kind where you want to run away screaming and toss yourself off a bridge after incurring it. He thinks that bottling up your emotions is wrong, so if he gets angry he just lets it all out. Sometimes he gets so worked up that he blacks out. These blackouts terrify him, and he has to try to keep his cool as much as possible.

A total hopeless romantic, Sebastian is a dreamer and has a cutesy, flirtatious manner about his vocabulary. He is very passionate about love, and finding his soul mate. While top many, this can seem sweet and desirable in a partner, sometimes Sebastian becomes clingy and annoying. This has been his downfall with girls so far.

Sebastian is an orphan, nobody knows what happened to his parents he was simply found in someones backyard and brought to the orphanage. He grew up with three other boys his age and six girls his age. They all became like siblings to each other, and Sebastian loves them like siblings, having never know any other family.

Unfortunately, the orphanages try to cut emotional ties between the children, so Sebastian and his family have to keep their friendships secret. They have talked many times of breaking out or simply being open about their relationships, but Sebastian was always against it. He knew what the people who ran the orphanage would do to his family if they found out, he had seen it with his own eyes.

When Sebastian was six he witnessed the kidnapping and murder of one of the older orphans. Late at night he woke up, thirsty and tip-toed into the kitchen to get a glass of water. The penalties for being out after bed-time are harsh so when he heard footsteps and muffled voices he hid in the cupboard with the canned food.

Just after he managed to shut the door, four of the orphanage guards burst in, dragging an unconscious boy and a struggling girl, both in their bedclothes. The guards sat them down in chairs and tied them up, all the while ignoring the girls screaming pleas. Then he began to talk. He told her that she should know by now that relationships between orphans are strictly forbidden, that her and the boy were going to be punished for breaking the rules, that since they had become...partners they were not going to be able to return to their rooms. On and on he went, painting them as filthy criminals, as the scum of the earth, as bad for having fallen in love.

As he was talking, the boy began to regain consciousness without the guards noticing. Somehow he got out of his bonds and lunged at the guard, a gunshot rang out into the night and the boy was dead before he hit the ground. The girl screamed and sobbed his name, begging him to come back. One of the guards slapped her, and taped her mouth shut. The guards grabbed her writhing form and dragged her out of the room. As soon as they were gone, Sebastian burst from the closet and raced to his room, crawling into to bed and pretending to be asleep.

The next morning he went to breakfast and noticed the kitchen was clean, no bloodstains on the ground, no remaining ropes or tape. The girl never came back, and the guards returned to normal duty. It was as if it never happened, as if the two had never existed.

When Sebastian was 14 he was allowed to use the heavy duty textile machinery at work, and he made a stupid mistake that cost him his fingers. While weaving with the looms, he decided to see if he could catch the shuttle. Evidently, he could not. He stayed home from work for three months, and when he simply could not be away from work any longer he returned to work in the inventory/warehouse section of the factory.

Sebastian has never known anyone to go into the hunger games, probably why his opinion on it is so much more vanilla than most of his other opinions. He hates the games and the oppression forced on Panem by the Capitol, but just lets it be, not seeing how he could affect anything. He hopes to someday meet the girl of his dreams, get married and have a family, but he doesn't want to take the risk of his children being in the games. As of now, he has no idea what he is going to do when he does have kids, and often stays up late in bed just worrying about it.
