Sebastian Belmonte
"The Pointy-Eared Bastard"
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Race: Human
Nationality: Unknown (Adopted at Birth)
Appearance:
As if carved from marble by the Gods of Greek lore, Sebastian's physical build is like a picture of perfection. He stands 6'5 and weighs 240lbs of solid well-toned muscle. His skin tone is white though slightly tanned, showing he is no stranger to being outdoors. He has broad shoulders which only adds to his regal bearing and attitude; his posture only simply exudes this. His eye brows are a little bushy and always make him look as if he were angry, which most times isn't the case. His voices is deep and commanding, making it an easy one to remember recognize if heard.
The most noticeable characteristic of Sebastian is his eye color. His eyes are best described as being a golden, dark yellow, and always have a mischievous yet relaxed look about them. In the light it almost appears as if they are luminescent. His teeth are perfectly white and his canine teeth are noticeably more pointed than the average person, giving him an feral almost wolfish look when he grins. His hair color is black and is relatively short, barely reaching his ears, aside from a single batch of hair that covers the right side of his face; stopping a little above his top eyelid as to not block his vision.
He has a few minor scars on his body from incidents in his youth. What stands out the most is his large tattoo that spans from his chest, over both shoulders and halfway down his back. On both sides is a Japanese dragon, one black with white eyes the other white with black eyes. The two heads meet face to face on Sebastian's chest. The black dragon's face is seen snarling as if ready to attack, while the white dragon's face appears calm and composed. Their long bodies go over the shoulders and travel down his back, both bodies never crossing as they create an "S" shaped pattern with the tails of both stopping at the center of the back; completely parallel to each other and mirroring each others pattern. The tattoos is meant to serve as a balance, similar to the yin and yang concept. On his right arm, spanning from shoulder to elbow is the name "Belmonte" the B being on the shoulder drawn in old english letters, while the other letters are in standard print. He has no tattoo on the left arm, but on his left hand's middle finger is a small tattoo of an Ankh.
Despite his humble upbringing, Sebastian is a man who prefers to make appropriate first impression. Thus, his attire alone speaks just as much about himself as his actions does. His favorite color is black, which is pretty much the standard for all his clothing in terms of color. He prefers the more formal type of clothing as he will almost always wear a all black button up vest, fitting perfectly to his build; not to snug but not to baggy. The buttons on said vest are a dark yellow, matching Sebastian's gold-like eyes. Under this, should he decide to leave the button up unbuttoned, he wears an all black long-sleeved button up shirt that fits only slightly similar to the vest. The shirt fit is only a little more loose than the rest of his attire. On occasion, Bastian will wear a suit jacket. The jacket's length fits like a typical suit jacket. The jacket has no outside pockets, instead only have two large inside pockets. The jacket itself is fairly light and is loose enough to easily slip out of easily if the need arises.
Due to his lack of interest of being flashy, jewelry and such, the only noticeable accessory he has are his black leather gloves. The length of said gloves stop a few inches past the wrist and are durable enough to be worn even in fights. Though the leather is only slightly padded, it serves a more psychological purpose. With the slight padding, Sebastian never feels the need to not commit to his punches. The little padding gives him the notion that his knuckles are protected from any major recoil from his punches. For example, if punching someone in the mouth. Sebastian's concern of cutting his own hand on teeth decreases since his gloves will off some form of protection (Again its more psychological than actual protection like actual fighting gloves would grant. The gloves can still rip as easily as normal leather does.)
Maintaining his formal appearance, Sebastian wears black dress pants. The pants are a perfect fit being not to baggy, but fitting to his size allowing room to deliver wide kicks and maneuverability without ripping the pants. However, it is hard to notice this fact by simply looking at said pants. To the untrained eye the pants look as if they restrict movements, which sometimes grants the element of surprise. Though his pants fit well enough to do without, Sebastian still wears a typical black leather belt mostly for looks than actual need. His socks are black and reach just above the ankles. What perhaps stands out most in the outfit is Sebastian's footwear. Rather than traditional patent leather shoes, his shoes are more like a boots and dress shoe hybrid. Smaller than your typical boots, but larger than traditional dress shoes, the shoes grant good maneuverability while maintaining the formal appearance.
Sebastian prefers to not wear headgear, simply out of personal preference. As stated previously, he doesn't like to wear jewelry and has no piercings.
[/Spoiler]Personality:
As his appearance may suggest, Sebastian is a calm, extremely cool, and collected individual. Being that he is the older sibling between him and brother, Jet, he matured a lot faster since it fell to him to look after his little brother. Add in the factors that led to his time as a orphan, his wary nature is understandable. In terms of trust, he only does so if said individual has proven to be deserving. This leads to his take charge attitude when he feels no one else will get a task done. In this sense he may come off as a bit of a narcissist. In his mind he feels nothing is impossible for him, as such he makes light of even the most dire situations. It's this thinking that gives him the will and desire to push himself to greater heights, to have all the world recognize his greatness. In comparison to his attitude in his youth, he is still just as ruthless though more stoic about the approach; as opposed to his old habits of barbaric aggression. It's believed the death of his sister caused him to become more calm and thinking.
He rarely feels pity for others, being dealt a shitty hand by life himself. The world, in his eyes, revolves around survival of the fittest. Thinking like this makes it simple for him to live without regret, because in his mind he feels he's only trying to stay alive and make something of life. This further explains his ruthless methods, as he is unwilling to take the safe route and leave room for fuck ups. Whatever task is needed to be done, Bastian will see it done by any means necessary.
Sebastian is one who firmly believes knowledge is power. Even when he gives off a facade as if he could careless about whats going on around him, he takes mental notes of the action and behaviors of his surroundings. This serves as a means to constantly keep people off balance, in a manner of speaking, when dealing with him. Luring them into a false sense of security just to capitalize on their awareness of his unpredictability. On the flip side, he does not assume that others are inferior to him. He believes all people have potential and talent, even if they aren't showing it. As such, Sebastian does not underestimate those around him; even if his outward attitude doesn't suggest that. If you stand in his way, he will do his very best to put down with extreme prejudice.
When on his down time, or pretty much anytime, he is a very fun person to be around. Though he will still be a bit of a jerk, those that get know him see he enjoys having a good time. He cherishes the friendships he has gained and isn't shy around new people, often treating them as if he'd known them for years. He is extremely loyal to his friends, more so to family, and always willing to stand up for both; whether they are right or wrong. The few times where he will show genuine anger is when either are threatened and will challenge anyone who dares wish his people harm. Being a heavy marijuana smoker, he will almost immediately get along with any one that shares this same fondness.
History:
Bastian was never a wanted child, shortly after his younger brother was born their mother cast them away and left him at some orphanage so he had no clue who his parents were. His only gift from his mother was his name Sebastian, and his last name he assumed was a gift from his father which was Belmonte, where his middle name originated was a mystery to Bastian one he never truly cared enough to find out about. He was raised only a short time at the orphanage before he was eventually adopted by a family only to be returned because he was assumed a problem child. He and his little brother were the only children at the orphanage to ever be adopted and returned so many times in the course of their life to the point one can say they was blackballed by life itself as he could never find that loving home that would accept him for who he was. At such a young age he learned that his hostility is what kept him from his dream of a family and thus decided to appeal to the people as a sweet boy who always smiled. In short he felt like a clown, putting on a show for people who picked amongst the children as if they were puppies at a pound. Despite his best efforts he couldn't help but be himself, he talked back to the Matron who was the owner of the orphanage, and eventually became known as the problem child to the orphans and Matron. After he reached the age of ten Matron herself decided it best to take the boy and his younger brother Jet as her own sons, being that she had no biological children and the majority of the other children had either found homes or simply were to old to remain at the orphanage.
Bastian wasn't to thrilled about the idea, then again neither was Matron being that the two always butted heads. And disciplining Bastian rarely worked at all as he took things like that negatively by taking his anger out on others at school. Often times he would come home beaten up because he got into a fight with other kids, most even older than him. It got so bad that Bastian was kicked out of the school and was forced into a more academy like school where the teachers and staff were much more strict on their children. For everytime Bastian caused trouble he was punished to the point it was borderline child abuse as he would be whipped until he either complied with what they wanted or he passed out from the pain. Despite his protest Matron insisted it was for his won good, and being that Bastian had no control over his life, or at least as he saw it, he had little choice but to conform to what these people wanted him to be. Slowly he lost himself as he was beaten into what the people considered to be a model member of society. But his entire life would change for the better on his 18th birthday.
An attack erupted on the island in the form of pirates. They fell upon the town like a plague killing at will anyone who dared to stand in the way. Bastian hid inside the orphanage along with his brother where they were able to watch the carnage outside from a hole in the wall. Bastian had always lived a in a world that revolved around order and yet here were people that had no order. They took what they want and killed all who had a problem with it, such a thing managed Bastian would have never guessed was even possible. He immediately became enamored with these pirates, he wanted to be apart of that world as if something about it beckoned him to it. Once the pirates had finished with their pillaging they left the town a bloody mess. Bastian walked from his hiding place along with his brother and looked upon the result of when chaos meets order. All the people who had made his life hell up till now were dead, just deserts is what he figured. He found it ironic after all his years of torment that he and his little brother would be the only survivors. He had no attachments to this place and would be happy to leave it, something he was sure his brother would agree with. He searched the town for anything that the pirates may have missed in the attacked and managed to find  1,000,000 that he split evenly with his younger brother. At the docks all but a small boat was taken with the pirates which would be enough to at least get the two to another island. Taking any other valuables they could find they set out to find somewhere they could get a fresh new start, the pirate attacked had awakened something in Bastian. He had a drive to want to be in that chaos and make sure the world knew he was the cause. It would take money and power to do this, something he had none of. But he wouldn't settle for not having it. He would achieve the fame and fortune he wanted even if he had to set the entire world aflame.
4 years later...
Shortly after leaving their home island of Val Rouge, Bastian and his brother had decided to go their own ways and would meet back up in four years. They would meet up on a random island where they would start their official crew that would take over the world. In that four years Bastian had went about taking his time to study at being a doctor while he self-taught himself martial arts. He figured that the combination of the two would make him him a deadly foe to handle. He had also taken this time to get a ship that the previous owner was happy to give him after a short negotiation with Bastian that ultimately caused the man to lose his tongue and eyes. With a new ship Bastian waited for the return of his little brother, eager to set sail on the sea. When the two finally reunited, they began their attack against the world. In their wake an entire district was set ablaze and a slough of police and thieves left dead. Eventually the two parted ways, after the disbanding of the first Belmonte Pirate crew.
After a few years of jumping crews and traveling the seas, Bastian was eventually cornered by the authorities. With no support nor any way to escape, the captain abandoned ship and let the sea take him. Bruised, battered, but not beaten, Bastian clung to life as he was tossed around at the mercy of the sea. Only a day after his ship was taken, he found himself stranded on an island called Home. It was this same island that just happened to be a sort of refueling stations for ships or tankers. With time and a few paid off informants, Bastian was able to learn the exact day the tanker towing his ship would arrive. This same day would become the turning point in the chaotic life of the Belmonte.
What began as a simple reunion had ultimately become the a death sentence for those that carried the Belmonte name. The siblings had all found one another, including Claudia Belmonte the adopted sibling, on this island sized pit stop. It was here that they all met Bar Fairy, another well-known pirate, and with him the arrival of a marine spy. From this chanced arrival came a complete one-sided massacre of the Belmonte Family and the authorities. In the wake of this event, the majority of the island was set ablaze. Numerous lives were lost as riots broke out, according to records, all of which were masterminded by Sebastian Tiberius Belmonte himself. Shortly after starting the riots, he and his accomplices attacked the marine base on the island and killed the captain left in charge; a decorated police captain who prided himself on dealing with those like the Belmonte. It was this same captain that ended the life of Claudia Belmonte.
Barely escaping with his life, with help from Ranei "Bar Fairy", the pirate captain managed to make it to his ship and escape to the open seas. With the amount of carnage left going on in the village, the authorities were forced to quell the riots least they risk losing the island to pirates. With little left to do but lick his wounds and bury his sister at sea, as is the tradition of the Belmonte, Bastian prepared for his next move. His next course of action came in the form of a letter from Claudia, stating that there was another Belmonte out there. The son of the Pointy-Eared Bastard himself. True to his family, he set sail to find a son who was most likely oblivious to who he truly was. A Belmonte.
