SEBASTIAN
-
Character Notes -
Being the leader of the Crimson Knights has to mean that some of his beliefs trickle down to his men. If that's true then Sebastian is a man who wants to protect the land from Wyverns, Dragons and other such creatures. The only thing strange about the Knights is that they don't allow any prayer because they say: "we don't want anyone to think that we are for any one faith that is why we must have none," Kevrin captain in the Crimson Knights. The evening after Micheal's men attacked Port Drake was when Sebastians Airship arrived. Because of what the Party did he granted them a wish and gave them one of his smaller airships as a gift. Sebastian then spent some of his time focused on crushing the resistance before some of his people found one of the Gates. He then moved his headquarters along with his Airship there to put his full attention on finding out what it is. The first time that Dio saw Sebastian he tried to attack him by stabbing a knife deep into his chest then, like many times before, Dio tried to plunge his hand into Sebastian but was unsuccessful in his attempt. With one of his hands he grabbed both of Dio's and was able to toss him a hundred feet into the air and a few dozen meters away to land on and destroy a table. Obviously Sebastian has had many people attempt to kill him and like the others he knew that he wouldn't be harmed by Dio. Taking the Party and Dio along for the ride on his personal Airship, 'Defiance', he traveled north to a tower that was destroyed during the Mage War and hopefully had some answers for him. So, making sure not to divert any of his resources, after a scout reported some problems, he offered a mission to Myr, Cade, and Dio to help out the little village of Hommlet from some rogues and with the help of Celine they were successful. Sebastian's experiment lied to him and he doesn't like it when people would dare do that to him. However Lucian wasn't human but one of a kind. Sebastian decided to hurry along to Miragon so he could have another talk with It. Back at Miragon Sebastian recieved a guest by the name of Orin who warned him about Micheal and gave him a coin of the gates stating that it would led him directly into Micheal's main base. All Sebastian knew of Micheal was that pathetic attack on Port Drake, which wasn't even Sebastians to begin with, yet. So Sebastian took the warning with a grain of sand. With the rumbling growing louder Sebastian became angrey that Micheal would dare use magic or magical creatures against him. With that and the fact that Micheal claimed to be God Sebastian set his eyes on the only God that he could get his hands on, Micheal. With his experiment loose Sebastian stepped out into the streets to see the final confrontation betwen Dio and his brother Lucian. Sebastian watched as he saw Dio use his powers to defeat Lucian. This was a surprise to him because he thought that Lucian was unique but now he knows that there is more than one of them and he found this interesting. Seeing how well the party has handled themselves in tough situations he took a couple of steps out of the shadows and said, "Gentlemen, we need to talk." If there was one thing that Longinus hated it was a God. With the information about the so-called-god Micheal crossing him and the fact that Micheal thought that he could take Sebastian down with such pitiful attackes he decided to bring the battle to Micheal. Although since Micheal was immune to all forms of scrying he needed someone who has faced him before. That is why he needed to approach the Party because they just came from Micheal's keep only a week ago. So Sebastian told the Party they would be compensated for their troubles as long as Sebastian could get his hands on Micheal. Because of his generals convincing the Party that Sebastian shouldn't be the first one to go through he, unwillingly, decided to go through the Gate a few hourse after the Party. But, since Sebastian knew that the Party wanted Micheal for themselves he went through the gate only a dozen minutes after them looking for his prey. He was disapointed to hear that Micheal wasn't even at this location and called the his army to follow through to meet him. He had the Crimson Knights make this keep a new base to use and as they were getting settled Sebastian overheard that the Party knew of someone in the forest who would know where Micheal ran to. Sebastian knew that the Party would be hard to follow and whispered over his shoulder to Graven to follow them. Graven was his greatest tracker and now with the Automail legs he could easily travel faster them then for a longer time then they could. Sebastian finally saw a great reaason to upgrade the Automail because he didn't know of anyone else with better tracking abilities so it would be difficult to replace him when the cancer took over his body. But now the Automail is perfected so that trouble won't occur again. It only took two days for Graven to return and tell Sebastian where he found Micheal to be hiding. Kevrin assembled most of the troops to travel with them north to Micheal's Castle. Sebastian didn't want to be interrupted and ordered his troops to stay back so he could deal with Micheal alone. Sebastian walked into the middle of the courtyard and yelled out Micheal's name. Micheal's response was the send out his troops with eighty of them surrounding him they kept swinging at Sebastian making connections but no damage. Like always Sebastian felt no pain and used a Circle of Death to drop all of the soldiers that surrounded him. "Is that the best that you have!," he yelled finally getting Micheal's attention. He looked back at the Party to get a confirmation that it was Micheal who just walked out and after getting the nod Sebastian launched into action. Literally launched fifty feet in the air so Sebastian could come down on Micheal doing a death-from-above with just one attack. However what he connected with was a shield golem instead to which the slay living spell wasn't effective. However he was able to disintegrate half of the golem with one spell. With that damage he looked down and saw the shear terror in Micheal's eyes. Once the golem was dealt with Micheal lunged at him right before they disapeared and reappeared a thousand feet above the castle. Micheal let go and since Sebastian knew it wouldn't hurt him he just let himself approach the ground. He stood up and brushed off the dirt as Micheal came at him again this time with a simple bronze sword. When Micheal's sword connected Sebastian felt something that he had never felt for over a thousand years, pain, and this scared him. Sebastian then slammed Micheal directly into some locked double doors to give some pain back. That mere human has the audacity to do that to me, Sebastian thought, he won't survive. Sebastian stood there staring Micheal down as the battle occurred around him. He always had someone to fighting for him because their goals were always the same. Sebastian knew that he was in the right and once the Efreeti Kolos was killed with coldness he made his move. The gnome hit the sword out of Micheal's hand and Sebastian slammed Micheal. Before Micheal could pull the trigger out of his pocket Sebastian moved beside him and squeezed his hand almost to the breaking point without much effort. When he heard that it was a trigger to a magical bomb that would destroy anything Sebastian knew he had to try. That annoying Party knew what he was going to do and demanded payments for helping kill a god. Sebastian took what he could off of Micheal's body and threw it accross the room towards them. "Take that and leave you have sixty seconds," Sebastian warned them. No matter what anyone else said or thought Sebastian knew that he wasn't a monster and gave them that minute to save their lives. The same minute that wasn't given to him. It was interesting to see Micheal try and fight against Sebastians strength as he countinued counting down out loud. Micheal kept stabbing him with his dagger but he didn't even feel it once. Sebastian was finishing the count, "Three, two, one," then looked at the frightened Micheal, "This is what all gods deserve." Sebastian pushed the trigger and stood there as he watched everything around him dissapear from a massive controled magikal esplosion. Like everything before this Sebastian felt nothing as the land disapeared from under his feet. At the bottom of the crater he knew there was only one way up so he used his flight spell to get back up to level ground. As he landed all of the knights surrounded him and started to call him a god. Sebastian was displeased at this and told them to stop calling him that and then ordered them to shut up and follow him because they were leaving, NOW. Standing over it Sebastian recognized it for what it was. It was the same type of hole that he had to fly out of a few days earlier except this one was slightly smaller. It was however just the right size to envelope the entire keep. Over a hundred people who believed in what he did were just taken from him. Sebastian saw this as some sort of cosmic joke for his actions against Micheal. Even with the Gate still there they had no means to use it now so they needed to travel through this strange unknown land without any supply, support, or guidence. Sebastian didn't worry though, he knew that he would be fine. |
