Character Name: Sebastian Michaelis
Fandom: Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Timeline: Chapter 38, when the Murder Mystery arc begins. The party for the visitor in the Murder Mystery case results in the murder of the German, and recently as well as Sebastian's "death". I will, however, be taking Sebastian from the early point of this case, where the instructions for throwing this party for the German visitor have been issued by the queen for Ciel, but the party has not yet occurred.
Crimes: Murder, mass murder, trespassing, destruction of private and public property, assault, sexual/physical assault.
Personality: Sebastian's one purpose is to be the butler to his master, Ciel Phantomhive- and of course, a stubborn and weak master like his needs certain characteristics in his butler to balance out the inequalities. He is the pillar that Ciel relies and depends on, a foundation in which Ciel sometimes nearly takes for granted. In many ways, Sebastian represents the adult that Ciel has always wanted to be. In comparison to him, Sebastian is calm and collected, almost coolly indifferent in his feelings and actions- indeed, he faces dangers for Ciel without so much as batting an eye. He looks at the world in a mildly interested, detached way; anything that catches his interest is treated almost like a toy. Very rarely will he be genuinely feel any sort of positive emotion at all-- he is capable of showing the perfect charade of any emotion, and like an actor, keep up an excellent guise of it until the very end. His manners are impeccable, and abilities are second to none-- so much so that he is adept at anything and everything he knows and attempts. He is also an intellectual, to be sure (having lived for so many years, there is nothing else to take in but knowledge), but even he does not know everything in the world (or rather, he does not care to). If it has relevance to what his Young Master requires him to do, he will take great pains to try and learn something new until he perfects it. To anyone who sees him in action, he could possibly be considered the perfect butler.
But everyone in the Phantomhive household knows that he's not quite perfect. Sebastian's dry wit and sarcasm often rise up with a vengeance when he's particularly displeased. If something angers or irritates him, he won't hesitate to bring down an iron fist over the household. He gets easily exasperated when his work and schedule is interrupted, which is quite often, owing to the messes the rest of the Phantomhive staff get themselves into (that he always has to clean up). And he's known to be quite strict with Ciel during his lessons.
There is another more cruel and sadistic side of him that speaks of his demonic nature, hidden from most everyone instead of Ciel. He is ruthless and cruel in battle, and his natural indifferent nature as a butler can be seen all the more clearly when he's feeling particularly vindictive, or when he's dealing with someone who is considered an enemy-- he won't even think twice of disposing of them.
One of the few flaws that Sebastian has is that he's completely devoted to the 'aesthetics' of this contract. His perfect appearance and mannerisms sometimes crack when he's confronted with something that will ruin that aesthetic, revealing that much more cruel side of himself to others. It seems, however, that his aesthetics are not completely set in stone...
Sebastian loves to twist words around, picking at what is said and what is implied. He has a mocking and condescending demeanor that he indulges in whenever Ciel seems to be having an especially difficult time. The two of them, however, do share a closer relationship than Ciel (and perhaps Sebastian) would like to admit, not only finding amusement at poking fun at each other and even goading the other into anger, but also in rather small and considerate gestures on both their parts that are often forgotten in the next instance. In fact, these small gestures seem to imply a deeper caring for the young boy than just a demon and its prey, and he only seems to show his slightly more playful side to Ciel or his cat. He only is ever truly 'loving' or 'gentle' when he is presented with a cat, mainly because of his 'weakness' for felines-- big or small, wild or tame, Sebastian cannot resist taking the time to stroke their silky fur and soft paws, and often he'll forget his surroundings as he plays with them. A different, almost coddling and endearing side of him can be seen that is a stark contrast to his innate nature.
Almost always, though, he is interrupted in these rather peaceful moments, and then the cycle of exasperation and irritation, cruelty and vindication begins anew.
Abilities: STRENGTH, SPEED, SENSES, IMMORTALITY | Sebastian doesn't look it, but his strength far surpasses that of any human man. He is able to single-handedly take down an entire force of armed men, and knows a great deal of fighting styles and techniques as well-- some that may even seem rather outdated. He's very resourceful in a fight, and won't hesitate to use anything as a weapon, be it coat hangers, china dishes, or his favorite, expensive silverware-- his aim is deadly, whatever he uses. In addition to strength, Sebastian has a remarkable speed with which he can accomplish anything within moments, really: he has collected massive amounts of research and information within an hour what would normally take weeks to compile. He also has heightened five senses, and an all important sixth sense that allows him to know when Ciel is in danger (or considering putting himself in danger). Immortality also plays a crucial role in his duties to his master-- he is incapable of being killed by simple mortal weapons, able to recover and heal himself from any wound. All of these powers are granted to him through his demonic nature.
MAGIC | While he does not often use it, Sebastian seems to have a capability to use magic, and appears to be well-versed in their workings as well. This magic has been able to bloom iris seeds within the span of several hours, cause objects to bend to his will with a flick of his finger, create a roaring fire from a single glimmer of candlelight...and supposedly heal his Young Master when he was on the brink of death as well. This magic is also granted to him because of his being a demon.
BUTLER WORK | His title as the Phantomhive house's butler is not superficial. In day-to-day life, Sebastian's superior skills in housekeeping, cleaning, cooking, accounting, and utter catering to Ciel's needs are also important to the efficiency in how the Phantomhive mansion is run-- because after all, if he left all the work to those four, nothing would ever get done. In particular, Ciel himself praises his butler on the desserts he is capable of making, claiming he has never had sweets as delicious as the ones Sebastian makes. They are to die for, you could say. These abilities have been learned through his long life and are separate from his inherent demon powers.
ROLEPLAY ABILITIES | For the purposes of avoiding godmoding in Marina Asylum, I will be eliminating his magic abilities (aside from immortality and the innate ability to heal himself from fatal injuries) and downplaying his strength, speed, and senses.
Multifandom Test: Depending on what sort of setting he met her in, I think having Sebastian meet Naminé from Kingdom Hearts would be interesting. He always puts up a front of being polite and considerate, and I believe Naminé would be similar to the way he treats Lizzie in the respect that he would regard her as a guest or acquaintance who has to be taken care of and almost coddled, in a way. If she ever interacted with him, he would be the perfect gentleman to her, though he would still remain somewhat detached.
Her meekness would be something he wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of, though, if it benefited him or Ciel in some way. He would most likely befriend her to a further extent before doing such a thing, in order to make the betrayal all that more 'interesting' for him.
Third person sample: Sebastian had always been an avid pursuer of knowledge-- when you are immortal, what else is there but to soak up the knowledge of the new generations, and take time to understand the old ones? He was already quite the handyman besides, so he'd been able to figure out the inner workings of the odd device quite quickly. He had found it at his side when he'd arrived to this place, and as far as he could tell, it was a communication device-- somewhat like a phone, but more advanced and more portable than London's technology, as far as he could tell.
How curious! What sort of place was this if it had superior technology to London? The future, perhaps, or just a different world-- or perhaps even a different dimension. The idea of that was mind-boggling even for him. Different worlds he was already familiar with; certainly the demon world and the world of the death gods counted as these. But a different dimension...the rules could be different here. The chess game was set up in a whole new way.
He felt a small throb of his left hand, and surprise pricked at him. The Young Master...? He was here in this world as well?
The demon felt a smirk grow over his lips, a hint of his fangs peeking out under them.
"If the king is here, there could be hope left for a checkmate of some sort," he murmured.
The knight was back on the board.
First person sample: [voice]
Do pardon me, but may I speak with someone who is knowledgeable about where this place may be? I have reason to believe that my Young Master is here, and it would be a great service to me if I could know where to start looking for him.
Young Master, if you are able to hear this message as well, may I know you are here?
