Sebastian

The most important facet of his personality, as is true for most of my characters, is that he has NO brains in his head whatsoever. He's super passionate about printmaking and fine art and design! He's super skilled at getting prizes out of claw machines and makes a habit of giving them out to his friends. He has ten metric tons of ADHD and has been known to hyperfixate on a process or interest for many hours at a time, uninterrupted.

Seb was 100% a fine arts kid throughout high school, taking studio-oriented electives and AP art classes, and acting as Art Club president in his senior year. He currently studies printmaking at a nearby university and commutes from home, turfing and visiting arcades in his free time.

Seb's dad grew up on the surface, similar to how Jules or his parents did, and fully knows that no one in Inkopolis would notice shit if you don't tell them- so his best advice to Seb was to just accept any questions about his differences in appearance as compliments, and act as if there wasn't really anything difference between him and the general public. In the long run, this probably boosted his self-confidence and eased his anxiety, but also led to a lot of doubt and residual uh oh moments after he realized he's completely out of touch with his own identity and family history on his dad's side.

"enemies to friends [to lovers] speedrun because of seb's sick claw machine skills" Seb is a regular at the arcade where Dew works, and they bond over funny claw machine prizes. Seb makes it a habit whenever he's there to ask Dew if there's any specific toys he should aim for.

"the cool older brother figure who just graduated hs..." Seb graduated a year or two before Juniper, but they still try to keep in touch. They have a funny friend/sibling dynamic going on.

"seb [handshake] uva: would drop everything for these mf children" Seb and Uva were in the same grade in school, and are still friends. When Seb's giving away extra plushies, Uva's often on the receiving end, and is probably in plushie hell.

• He got a Blue Peepy and loved it so much he spent an obscene amount of money on a Gold one.
• "GENDER rq before i pass out sebs a nonbinary man and likes guys and doesn’t give a shit"
• There are a couple of "seven" motifs in his design (seven buttons, seven tentacles). It wasn't on purpose, but it's cool because Firefin has seven letters.
• He has a good eye for design.
