Strengths and WeaknessesStrengths• Excellent swimmer and runner due to his incredibly powerful legs. Being a Siren and having the ability to transform your lower body into a tail brings quite a bit of muscle to your lower body.
• Vocal persuasion is typical of the Siren species, and Sebastian doesn't lack in that department. His voice is both seductive and terrifying, depending on if he's singing or screaming.
• Communicating with aquatic animals is an ability that Sebastian has invested a great amount of time into, and it has paid off quite well.
• As a Siren, Sebastian can control water to a limited extent; He isn't a waterbender by any means, however in large bodies of water he can manipulate the currents and waves to his liking.
Weaknesses• Sebastian's family is a tentative subject. He's overly protective, albeit distant, with his father, and his deceased mother is certainly a trigger.
• Heat is a great weakness to Sebastian. Dehydration and scalding weather will disorient him far more than others, however that isn't a typical concern in the cool region of Oregon.
• Sebastian is still just a kid with no other Siren's to teach him how to master his abilities, or his spot on the supernatural food chain. His mother bequeathed him a full Siren heritage, however she passed for unknown reasons.
• Sebastian is incredibly impulsive and very action oriented; he's easily tempted, angered, and seduced.
Fears• Burning
• Isolation
• Physical abuse
• Rejection
BiographySebastian was born in the cold months as an only child. Sebastian grew up quickly due to his parents unstable marriage in his early years. Events such as alcoholism and verbal abuse slowly became more commonplace in the Monroe household, until eventually Sebastian came to expect it. After living in a troubled household for a few years by himself, Sebastian soon began to distance himself from his parents. By the time he was seven, his mother perished, found mauled in the woods by the lake. It was deemed as a mauling by some kind of wild animal, perhaps a wild cat, however Sebastian secretly thought she perished at the hands of another supernatural. Sebastian's father sunk into alcoholism and became callous towards his son, however he never stopped caring about him.
Sebastian began spending more time with friends after school as he grew up, joining the swim team, running track, anything to escape his father. He's never truly in danger at home, however it was usually unpleasant.
Sebastian's supernatural heritage was explained to him by his mother since a young age, and he was taught to guard that secret with his life. After his mother passed, he began practicing his Siren abilities, frequently spending time in the lake to learn to morph his own body. He currently attends the local high school in his senior year.
Siren Abilities
Seductive VoiceLike all Sirens, Sebastian's singing voice can seduce any creature, be it natural, supernatural, or some mix of the two. He is still learning to control it, and as such cannot truly control anyone. He can merely influence them, but strong minded individuals can most certainly resist. Powerful Weres, such as Alphas, are rarely affected by his voice at all.
ScreechingSebastian's screams cause inset dread and nausea in those that hear them. His voice is powerful enough to be heard for miles around, and it can have physical affects on his nearby surroundings, such as shattering glass and damaging ear drums.
Distant SingingSome Sirens are able to communicate with others of their kind over great distances, similar to Banshees. Sebastian is unaware his race is able to do this, seeing as he is the only Siren aware of his true nature in his town.
ShapeshiftingSebastian can create gills along his neck and chest, as well as transform his lower body into a scaled, finned tail. He is able to see well underwater when he is in his Siren form. While he is in his Siren form, he can manipulate the currents and waves of any large body of water he is near.
Aquatic CommunicationSirens are able to converse with aquatic creatures, such as fish. While fish aren't the most intelligent creatures, they can follow basic commands and inform him of recent occurrences. Amphibians can be communicated with to some extent, however it's like trying to communicate with a person who speaks every other word in Swedish.
Other
Sebastian is very aggressive and temperamental. Intense physical violence will either cause him to go into a panic attack or fight back with incredible rage.
He is still young and uncertain about the supernatural world. His abilities are limited and he is nervous around other supernaturals to say the least. He is able to sense nearby supernatural creatures, however he in unable to pinpoint who it is or what they are.
Deep down, he believes in a cruel, brutal world of kill or be killed, however he does his best to mask that belief with a cheery heart and bubbly spirit. He lives his life in the now, without real regard to the consequences. He's always willing to get into trouble and his heart is set on instant gratification.
Theme Song
Hand of God by Jon BellionMy head spins and I've been sipping
I've been sipping, I've been sipping lately
All my sins, I've been tripping, I've been tripping, my God
Brand new life, I've been looking
I've been looking, I've been looking lately
All these nights, they've been cooking
They've been cooking me raw
I am just a man, I am just a man
Who lusts, gives, tries
Sometimes I lose my way
Tears at a funeral, tears at a funeral, I might break
Angry at all the things, angry at all the things I can't change
When you're lost in the universe, lost in the universe
Don't lose faith
My mother says, "Your whole life's in the hand of God"
Nothing has changed, he is the same
"Your whole life's in the hand of God"
Nothing has changed, he is the same
"Your whole life's in the hand of God"
Nothing has changed, he is the same
