※ oh, lazarus, how did your debt get paid?


In that moment, the only thing he knew was fear. To see his sharp, handsome features bathed in a terrifying red light, it took everything in the young man's power not to scream in agony, fear, or anger. His jaw set, the escapist gripped his blade in a self-defensive stance, and his boots dug into the dirt of the barracks around him. "Blessed," he whispered, gripping the golden necklace of Jesus Christ's cross that hung from his neck, "are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them." Soft, fearful eyes closed as he pressed his back to the metal wall of the barracks, feeling the cold against his wounded shoulder. "God in Heaven, guide me with your strength... heal my wound... let me lead myself out of this hellacious country..."

With his wounded arm bound and slung properly, the young man turned the corner, blade out of the hilt that hung from his waist, poised to strike anyone who fought him. To think of something so awful as what he had witnessed brought a sickness to his stomach, and he wanted to vomit. However, the young man continued on in his escape, jaw clenched in pain with every movement that his wounded arm made...

➳ hello, and thank you for checking out my interest check! this interest check is based around my favorite oc, sebastian delacroix. you can find his character sheet on my oc masterpost, but i will conveniently link it for you here. to give you a general overview of sebastian's history, he is a modern-day bastard prince, a refugee prince.

➳ in sebastian's story, he is injured by his younger half-brother, jaune delacroix, with a dangerous injury to his shoulder after being named royal commander of the military (arguably putting him at the same amount of power as the brother, who has socially shamed him out of his birthright for the throne) by his mother, the current queen. as sebastian is in the hospital, he falls in love with one of the nurses, laura, and plans to marry her when he is well again; before he can do so, jaune kills her and frames sebastian. this is only the first event in a number of events that places the small country of elescotia into a panic, forcing sebastian to leave the country with the help of a catholic priest-in-training named antonio and his old commander/godfather, cassius.

i'd like for you to play someone in america who helps sebastian out a couple of months after he finds himself. antonio's 'care package' includes the deed to a dingy studio apartment in a large city as well as a couple of hundred dollars to assist with food and medical bills. when your character finds him, he seems to be healed, albeit weak in his right arm as he hasn't been to physical therapy.

we can talk a lot of details inside, but i'd prefer to keep a lot of this platonic. some romance is fine, but i don't want to be swarmed with a whole bunch of female characters wanting to play alongside sebastian because he's a) attractive and b) a prince. i've seen it happen too many times, and i'd prefer to keep seb's character true to him. if this is a romantic rp, there needs to be chemistry and buildup. anyways! i'm getting a bit too demanding with this; be sure to read my general rules (you can find it in my bio, but i will link it here) before pm'ing me about this! please only pm me about this! ♥
