Sebastian Csendes

Character's real name: Unknown
Alias: Sebastian Csendes (<- Greek for venerable, Hungarian for peaceful)
Nickname: He prefers "Zeb" or "Seb" as a young man, but once he gets older prefers to use his full name.

Gender: Male
Age: Ageless and all ages
Nationality/Ethnicity: Greek
Birthplace: Greece

Hair color and style: White. It is short when he is a child and grows longer as he shifts older through the years. Rather than getting bald, his hair gets thinker and actually spreads down his back, similar to a horse's mane. Facial hair similarly grows longer as he ages.
Eye color: Light blue
Height: 5'6'' (He used to be considered very tall, but humans have
grown larger over the years.)
Build: Thin, lanky
Visible mutations: Even in human form, Sebastian has a white lion's tail and a white spiral horn growing from his forehead. The horn grows with age, first appearing in childhood and growing to be about seven inches by old age.
Scars/ Tatoos/ Piercings: none

Personality: Open minded and eager to learn new things, he's rather laid back and not much phases him. He loves puns in all languages, but the rest of his humor is a bit out of date.

Hobbies: Over the years he has collected a lot of hobbies. His interests include astronomy, playing the pan flute, dancing, martial arts (which he learned because the moves were similar to dancing), studying the religions (all of them- he is slightly obsessed with trying to figure out what happens to people when they die), and learning new languages.

Allegiance: Peaceful

Everyday clothing: He enjoys wearing a range of styles of dress from all different eras and locations. Usually he wears whatever seems normal for wherever he is, such as a white or gray suit, but occasionally he gets bored and wears authentic period clothing from one of the places and times in which he has previously lived.
Uniform: none
Pajamas: He wears a dark and light blue striped night suit with a long night cap. He also sleeps as a young child, for he finds that he sleeps best as a child and also doesn't have to worry about his horn poking holes in his pillow (Since his horn grows with age, appearing at the equivalent of about age six).

Description of abilities:
FP: Sebastian's abilities do not change from the present to the future plot.
Transformation through human and unicorn life cycles:
Sebastian can transform through the entire life cycle of a human form and a unicorn form. Each form has the equivalent of a one hundred year life cycle, and he crosses over from one species to the next at the end of one life cycle and the beginning of the other. As an old man, he could transform into a unicorn foal, as a baby he could transform into an old unicorn. Transformation is not instantaneous; rather, it takes about ten seconds to change through a one year's equivalent of each of the life cycles. He can move both backwards and forwards through his ages.

Human Life Cycle
Sebastian always has a white lion tail, even in his human form. As a young child he has no horn, but after the equivalent of age six, it gradually grows throughout the life cycle until it reaches its maximum length of about seven inches. His hair and facial hair also grow
longer as he advances in years. In middle age the hair grows thicker and begins to grow down his back in a line, similar to a horse's mane. As a young adult, he begins to grow facial hair, and by old age has a very handsome beard in the style of Gandolph and Dumbledore (though he would claim that he had the style first).

Unicorn Life Cycle
The unicorn life cycle goes through three main stages. As a young unicorn, Sebastian resembles a white horse with a lion's tail and a spiral horn, and later, a goatee. As he nears the second stage, his mane grows thicker and spreads to cover his entire body, his body grows thinner, lighter, and more goat like. His strength decreases, but agility increases. As he nears the third stage, the unicorn equivalent of old age, his hair begins to fall out everywhere except his mane, which now resembles a lion's mane, the tip of his tail, and around his feet. Replacing the hair is iridescent scales, shine as if they are on fire when the light hits them. His hair, too, gains an iridescent luster, which can at times seem to glow. In his unicorn form, Sebastian's horn also grows with age, but it is much longer than in his human form, reaching lengths of 80 cm.

Healing/ Regeneration:
Sebastian heals from wounds very quickly, taking seconds to automatically heal from most wounds. He can also regenerate missing body parts, but this takes much longer; a day for a finger, three for a hand, a week for a whole arm. His horn can also be regenerated, but it takes a year to grow back to its normal length.

Sebastian can also heal others, through touch. It works fastest when his horn makes contact with the wound, but he can heal using any physical contact with the person in need of healing. His blood neutralizes poison and toxins in his own body and can be used as an antidote for others who are poisoned, either through injection or drinking. His blood's ability to deal with foreign substances has a similar effect on viruses and bacteria, allowing it to cure some illnesses, but he cannot cure diseases that are the body's own creation, such as cancer. Sebastian cannot regenerate others' lost limbs or bring people back from the dead.

Immortality:
Because he shifts to his opposite form at the end of his life cycle rather than dying of old age and is constantly healing himself, Sebastian is immortal.

Weaknesses and cons of abilities:
Transformation through human and unicorn life cycles:
It takes time to transfer from one form to the other; ten seconds per year in the life cycle. Since he must switch over at the ends of the life cycles, it leaves him very vulnerable since he must go through an ancient and frail stage and a baby stage to get from one form to the other.

Healing/ Regeneration:
Healing takes a lot of energy, so it requires him to sleep a lot to catch up on the energy lost. Regeneration, in particular requires that he be asleep while he is regenerating.

Immortality:
All the people he ever grows to care for eventually grow old and die, leaving him alone.

Additional Weakness:
He is weak to virgins. He can sense them and gets easily distracted by them. Their voices also have a unique power over him, allowing them to persuade him easily. Their singing makes him sleepy as well. This weakness is most potent when Sebastian is in his teenaged and young adult forms, when he is highly influenced by hormones ( giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "horny teenager").

Fighting style (if any): He knows many different martial arts styles, but learned them for the purpose of practicing the beautiful dancelike moves and not for the purpose of hurting others. Through centuries of practice, he has developed super reflexes and gracefulness. He prefers to avoid fights and settle conflicts peacefully.

History of your character: He originates in ancient Greece where he was once called Pan as a boy. He has spent lifetimes in both human and unicorn form in different parts of the world, including the forests of Germany and the mountains of China in his unicorn form. Once, when he was living in England, he even tried living a human lifetime backwards
and met a young boy called Wart.

FP History:
In the midst of the Haywire Epidemic, Sebastian purchased an abandoned Church of Humanity building in order to provide a base of operations for a group of individuals devoted to helping Haywire victims and their families. No one was turned away. Sebastian was able to enlist the help of local churches, temples, and mosques to help run the shelter. When the crisis was over, the congregations decided to transform the building into a community center so it could continue to serve its' purpose of helping the community and bringing people of all religious, racial, and genetic heritages together. After a short period of remodeling, Pax Community Center was up and running. The congregations continue to use the sanctuary to hold different religious meetings each night of the week. It is still known as a place where people can go for help- no matter how dire their situation may be.

In 2015 Sebastian founded and became the headmaster of Pax academy for K-9th grade students, a school offering mostly online classes in an effort to reach both mutant and human students who cannot travel easily from their homes as well as a way to keep students safe from extremist groups and other threats. The school has grown and now offers classes for every grade level as well as community education classes. Pax academy is now in its fourth year and its first class of high school seniors will graduate next Spring- if they can make it through their final exams!
