Longer brown hair brushes his shoulders. His eyes, depending on the light, are dark almost black. Sebastian’s shoulders are broad with a musculature built from many weeks of travel. His waist tapers down into narrow hips that are normally encased in England’s finest. Despite living in a new country Sebastian still wears most of his British clothes although he keeps his hair a little longer than he did there. His face has an aristocratic shape passed hereditarily though the generations of LeBanon’s, with narrow angles and a strong chin. His brows are naturally arched and he’s not above using them in silent communication or reprimand.

Sebastian was no goody goody in his youth and he believes that this fact along with his love of education makes him a prime candidate for teaching. His ability to relate to his students and understand what they’re going through does indeed make him far more understanding than most. It’s truthfully probably only his students that ever see the real Sebastian, without spending a lot of time with him first, and without the glamour of England. Most of the time the manners he was taught along with his distrustful and sarcastic mind keep him from opening up to others from the beginning of their association. He loves books, teaching, and those that actually want to learn. He’s also honed the ability to smile serenely as he insults you and you thank him for the compliment. A rare skill that is a combination of his quick wit and sharp tongue for those that anger him. He will never again indulge in things like drinking and drugs; although he might disapprove of others doing it he’s not normally judgmental of their decisions. He knows that, just like he did, everyone has to find the strength to decide to stop themselves or not.

LIKES •

questing minds; There’s nothing Sebastian respects more than minds that are searching for knowledge.

rapier;He learned this style of sword work back in England. While he’s a fierce competitor he’s never fought outside of contests.

teaching; Many believe his youth hampers his ability to lead his students properly but its his youth that actually helps him. His experiences with the follies of youth allow him to relate to his students and understand what they’re going through better than some.

DISLIKES •

drinking As a teenager Sebastian learned the dangers of drinking and the fact that he doesn’t like the man it turns him into.

disrespect; While he can deal with it, many students can be this way, that doesn’t mean he has to like it. The quickest way to his temper is being blatantly disrespectful.

drugs; Experiments as a teenager were just another thing he unfortunately got in to and something that he vowed after the death of his parents he’d never try again.

WEAKNESSES •

trust; He’s suspicious of other people’s true intentions as high-society rarely ever stated what they really meant. He finds American’s entertaining with the way they say whatever is on their minds.

judgmental; Outside of the class room he tends to jump to conclusions about people and what they want. He works to try and shuck off the prejudices he gained from living in England.

challenges; He’s very competitive, one of the reasons he was able to get through schooling so quickly. Just about any challenge gets his blood pumping.

STRENGTHS •

intelligence; He went to the best schools and graduated with multiple degrees.

charm; Whether he means it or not his father once said he could charm the pope into sin.

FEARS •

losing his job; He enjoys what he does and getting caught in any of the compromising situations that he used to delve in would probably result in the loss of his license..

the past; He never wants to be the person he was before so he avoids just about everything that he used to indulge in.

HISTORY •

Sebastian LeBanon came from a long line of Viscounts, all rulers of the LeBanon property just outside of England. For the most part it was quite during the off season although his mother, Juliette, tried to make it otherwise with her constant parties. When the season started back up it was time to move everything back to their town house and start the never ending gatherings again. Years and years surrounded by society’s acerbic tongues and polite smiles Sebastian learned many things early on. He adapted, burying his kinder nature beneath layers of insincere smiles and a quick wit. He easily became known for his gentlemanly looks, charming manner, and roguish behavior. While not studying he focused on the more pleasurable aspects of living; from gambling to drinking to whoring. His conduct was put to a stop the day his father and mother died in an unprecedented carriage accident.

While he had not been extremely close to his parents, nothing could have shaken his world as solidly as this had. At the age of eighteen he reined in his wilder instincts and headed back to the LeBanon estate to handle their burials and the wills. Unsurprisingly everything was willed to Sebastian except for a few things to the more extended family but his mother had left him one last message. “Follow your dreams, wherever they might take you. Don’t feel like you have to be bound here just because we are. We love you Sebastian, Juliette and Benjamin.”

Looking back Sebastian realized something, his behavior of the past couple of years had been little more than rebellion. Disgusted with himself he turned all his attention to his studies and liquidating his family’s fortunes. By the age of twenty he had multiple degrees in history and psychology and was ready to leave. He took the first boat out to America with a bank note that would allow him to access his money overseas. He eventually found his way into Texas and now resides in Amarillo where he hopes to become a professor despite his youth.

Sebastian LeBanon reined his horse Anastasia in as the knot of tension wedged in his gut tightened a little more. The silhouette of the school he was to teach at had come into view and it was only a matter of time now. He rubbed absentmindedly at his neck as he then settled himself in the saddle and nudged Ana into a fast gallop. Like all the things that haunted him he would out run this one nervousness as well. This small feeling of tension was nothing compared to the feats he had to accomplish back in England. The committees he had to speak to, the board meets to be cancelled, the bank managers to deal with. Sebastian narrowed his eyes in concentration as for some reason this one decision here seemed to mean more than all the rest.

On one hand he was nervous to meet his new students; what would they think of a professor that was only twenty-one? Would they think he was a snob? Sebastian laughed out loud at that thought the mirth in his voice only encouraging his mount to go faster. I suppose I am a snob. The thought wasn’t formed with any doubt or derision, just a simple fact to be able to admit to one’s self. It was refreshing, being able to admit that you had a fault. Without all the worry and bustle of British society to make you think that someone was going to exploit it the second the realization formed on your face.

He reined Ana in again, slowing the Andalusian mare to a fast walk. He rubbed her neck with genuine affection. He had paid a pretty penny to get not only the mare but his hound Fee onto the ships that sailed to America. But, he mused, it had been worth it. He’d had no idea how much American depended on their horses for transportation. If he’d waited around to get another or took the excruciatingly slow coaches he would never had made it as far as Texas in less than a year. Finally reaching the school Sebastian gracefully dismounted and turned to secure his horse in the stables. Looks like it’s time to get a job. Sebastian could only smile as he headed in to meet the other staff.
