◖LIKES◗
A grand, well-stoked library, older books, studying, sports, especially rowing, getting into the details, whether that's a book or the ground. Being active, always on the go, being surrounded by people, especially his friends, laughter and drinks, staying up all night just for the heck of it, an occasional party, though he prefers quiet evenings more, two people alone with a bottle of wine and no one else around, sailing, movies and concerts, a nice pair of jeans, though he rarely wears them, even a denim jacket, just running away and doing whatever comes to mind.
◖DISLIKES◗
He hates sitting still, and while he did well in school and university, he does hate being told what to do, even though he might not complain directly about it, though if it's condescending enough, he might as well be vocally against it. He hates conforming to others - even if he might try to do it. Math, unnecessary small-talk, the thought of marriage and how his parents are already pushing for it, silence in most shapes and forms, judgemental people.
◖FACECLAIM◗
Dave Franco.

[img][/img]THE YOUNG SCHOLAR
How does one find their own path in life?
___________________________________________
Sebastian Alfred Lewis was born as the youngest son to one of the most esteemed horse breeders, Dalton Lewis, and his wife, Amelia. As the second son, especially following someone like his brother, Phillip, who was really born to take over the company, there were very few expectations, so he could practically do whatever he wanted - yet still had to keep the family name in mind. He was never really good at that, though, always being somewhat of a mess, all over the place, laughing whilst pulling everything down with him as he went along. He loved being outdoors and dragging in the mud, but he also found a great joy in reading, fairy tales being one of his favourite ways to spend his time. Compared to his brother, he was wild, not the luckiest in looks, all that his parents didn't want. During his childhood, he spent a lot of his time at the local manor, the Willsbury manor, playing with the youngest son, Edward. It was amazing having a kid his age in the same position, second son, never looked at twice, no expectations, but at the same time tons of them. He was probably the one he spent most of his time with, any time he could, he would go to the manor to be with him.
Those days ended when Sebastian was 13. Whilst his father's business was booming, they were planning to move to expand even further - and they moved away. He hated it, hated his parents for so long, but there was nothing he could do about it, he had no choice. He never even got to say properly goodbye to Edward, it very much happened from one day to the other and suddenly they were gone. Life became rather ordinary and boring after that. He rebelled from time to time, but spent most of his time reading instead, preparing to do the only thing he could really do: Go to university. His brother went as well, even if he had to simply take over the business, but university became everything that Sebastian could really use for something. With his parents' money, that wasn't too hard, but he definitely put his work into getting accepted into Oxford University to study philology.
University was where it really happened for Sebastian. First and foremost, he grew out of his ugly ducking period. No more awkward looks and teenage self-consciousness: Suddenly he was a true heart-breaker with those looks of his, that smile could make most weak at their knees. He made friends for life, joined clubs, studied what he wanted, partied, let himself loose as he had to do. No one knew where he came from, he just lived his life. He was one of the best in class, but only himself to make proud, his parents being busy with Phillip, but he didn't care much for it, he simply had to make his way of life... and then university ended. Then what? The world was open, he could do anything he wanted and he had no idea, until he got an offer that he simply couldn't refuse. He had never really thought too much about teaching, of course it was there, he even considered staying at university to continue his studies, go for a PhD, but this was better than he could ever have imagined. Now, he has returned home to where he was born for the first time in over ten years and he's pretty excited to say the least.

“Pulvis et umbra sumus.”
― Horace
○ C O N F I D E N T
adj. | con·fi·dent
Having or showing assurance and self-reliance. Even when Sebastian was not the luckiest when it came to his looks, he has never had any problems with his confidence. He has always been secure enough to feel incredible about himself and who he is, and that is how he carries himself. Of course, this only became more intense, when his looks suddenly changed for the better; suddenly it was not just a personality trait. Whilst he finds it superficial that people are drawn to him because of his looks rather than his personality, he still enjoys an intense amount of confidence just when walking down the street, but also when speaking to people, within his field, and just in anything he does. He does everything as good as he can and that is pretty good in his eyes.○ S P O N T A N E O U S
adj. | spon·ta·ne·ous
Arising from a momentary impulse. Sebastian has always been of the adventurous, spontaneous kind. Very few things stop him and if people tell him no, there's a high chance he might just do it anyway. He has to try it to make sure, he's curious by nature and follows his heart rather than his mind. While he can be a logical thinker, he prefers to be driven by his emotions whenever he can. It's not often and it gets less and less often as he grows older, but he believes that he cannot stop trying new things just because everyone else thinks he has to conform to their standards. If he gets an idea, he follows it - and if someone pitches an idea to him, he is most definitely going to try and help them bring it to life.
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔○ Q U I C K - W I T T E D
adj. | quick-wit·ted
Quick in perception and understanding: Mentally alert. Sebastian has always had his mind with him, something that brought him to where he is today. He is intelligent and quick, not only with logical thinking, but also in terms of giving back in snappy replies, all done with such an amount of intelligence and wit that it's hard to say anything against him. For quite some time, this was all he had and it still is in many ways, at least when it comes to his parents where that still doesn't seem to be enough, but he tries. He enjoys staying sharp, enjoys studying and continuously reading to stay aware and alert, while just staying true to himself.○ A T T E N T I V E
adj. | at·ten·tive
Heedful of the comfort of others: Mindful, observant. Especially after they moved, Sebastian spent many hours simply looking at people, getting to know their expressions and how they acted. He had always done it with his parents and from that he has become quite good at reading people, simply by being naturally observant of how they act, while also caring about them. Very few things pass by him without him noticing and he often feels like he has to do something about it, especially if he can do something to improve the mood of someone. This is also beneficiary in both his studies and in terms of teaching, of course, but he finds it most useful in terms of people. -

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
― Martin Luther King Jr
Sebastian realised at a later age that he has abilities like no-one else - not even his family. As the only metahuman in his nearest family, he has had to figure everything else out on his own. He sometimes feels alone as he has yet to meet someone else like him, but he is sure that he probably already knows someone, but it is not easy to open up about out of sheer fear of the other person's reaction. His abilities are easy to hide though, even when he uses them, as he has the basic ability to heal. While it's not that simple, something that he has had to learn the hard way, he is someone who can benefit not only himself, but others greatly because of his abilities and with practice he could probably become even better, even stronger.
| Healing |
Sebastian can heal others and himself by nothing more than a touch. It improves and quickens the process if he touches the area in question directly, which can be anything from a wound to where an illness is located. It sounds simple, but it's much more than that. First of all, he does not self-heal automatically. He still has scars, especially from before he discovered his abilities, and even after realising that he could do it, he has not healed every wound or illness he has been through. This comes from the fact that there's a cost for his ability. Most of the time, it's nothing. It might make him fatigue for a minute, but it's nothing major, sometimes he doesn't even feel it. The larger the injury, the larger the cost, though. It starts with simple fatigue, but it can develop into headaches and migraines, being unable to move as the fatigue grows, even sleep or a coma-like state. He has never experienced this, but he has deduced himself to this point basically by trying. The worst he has experienced was prolonged fatigue and that was what he would deem as a major injury, but he has no idea where the line is drawn, where his limits are, and if he can expand those limits. Besides that, he can heal anything, he's just not sure how far he can actually go.
