Character Information

Character Name: Sebastian Michaelis
Character Series: Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler
Character Age: Unknown. In reality, Sebastian could have seen the beginning of time itself. (Or, at least, the beginning of humanity.)
Character Gender: For the moment, male.
Original Canon
Canon Point: The beginning of the Ship Voyage.
Background Link: Scroll down.
Personality: Sebastian is, succinctly put, a mystery. He reveals bits and pieces of his personality now and then, but, for his Young Master's sake, he has molded himself into the perfect butler. As such, he is polite (even when his anger is roused), neat, orderly and (seemingly) very hard-working. (I say seemingly because [SPOILER]Sebastian can fix a mansion and prepare a lavish feast in the blink of an eye.[/SPOILER]) However, there are times when his true personality briefly reveals itself.

As one would expect of a demon, Sebastian is very possessive of his "soul" (i.e. Ciel Phantomhive). He will not risk anyone or anything taking said soul from him. His actions when Madame Red attempted to take Ciel's life are evidence of this trait. Sebastian was (and is) willing to cut her (or anyone else) down before Ciel came to harm.

Yet, it would be a folly to assume that Sebastian thinks Ciel is special. In reality, he finds the Earl to be a right brat. He usually counteracts the Earl's bratty tendencies by keeping Ciel on schedule and/or denying Ciel his flightier desires (i.e. desserts etc.). However, when Ciel truly needs him or when Ciel Summons him properly (i.e. by using their Contract), Sebastian will never fail him - though the demon has said that Ciel's only talent is getting caught. Sebastian is not comfortable being heroic or a constant rescuer.

All in all, under the butler exterior, Sebastian is - and will probably always be - a cold devourer of human souls who revels at the sight of blood in battle. Yet there is something about Ciel Phantomhive that amuses him. He does not mind following this little Earl through ordeal after ordeal or waiting for Ciel's soul. Therefore I think it can be safely said that Sebastian enjoys playing with his food before he devours it. That shouldn't be surprising considering how experienced he is when it comes to dealing with Masters (and Mistresses most likely). However, his patience in adhering to his soul's life is definitely apart of his aesthetic.

On a lesser note, Sebastian seems drawn to felines. He finds their presence soothing (especially when he can hold them and squeeze their paws). He also likes looking his best. When his clothes are tattered or torn during battle, he mourns over their loss. Fashion shouldn't be wasted, after all. And, finally, he does not like anyone interfering with his work. In fact, that is the best way to earn his ire.

Abilities: To say Sebastian can do just about anything isn't a lie. Yet, whilst acting the part of a butler, he is somewhat limited. For example, he cannot fix/produce things in the blink of an eye. He has to at least look like he works as hard as a human. Additionally, he likes to use silverware in battle. He can fling forks and knives with amazing speed and kill enemies by the droves. (Though he doesn't exactly need them. A few times, he reveals some rather impressive claws/talons.)

He is also supernaturally powerful (physically) and he seems adept in reading other's intentions.

Sample Entry: Ah, Young Master, what have you gotten yourself into this time? [A tall, dark and handsome man appears on the feed, readjusting a pristine white glove. He doesn't look particularly concerned with his change in circumstance, though he does have some pressing business to see to.]

Must we play a game of hide and seek? [A dangerous smirk follows those words.] I do not wish to expend much energy in - [He takes notice of the device recording his every word. Scooping it up, he presses his free hand against his chest. A humble smile replaces the smirk.]

Please forgive me. My name is Sebastian Michaelis and I am the manservant of one Earl Ciel Phantomhive. If my Master has come to harm, I will have no choice but to come to his aid. [His crimson-hued eyes glow faintly.] Young Master? Can you hear me?

[It's worth a try. Sebastian runs a finger over the device, familiarizing himself with the make of it.]

I desire information on this new location. I am not familiar with it. [Which is...odd.] Thank you for your time. [He gives his audience a charming smile and shuts off the feed.]
