Seb Rolfe
"I say no to alcohol, but it just doesn't listen."
|Nickname| Sebastian does not like being called, Sebastian, it sounds way too noble or fancy for his taste, reminding him of all the hope his mother and father had in him to a successful man when knowing he is far from it. So instead he goes by Seb, a three letter word simple and short. But he will say if you want to get all cutesy call him, Sebby.

Temperament and Talents
- Adventurous- There use to be a part of Seb that loved adventure, it was the whole reason why he ever got into dragon racing in the first place. It was because Seb left his parent's home to discover something for himself to make them proud. And because of this he not only found a fire-breathing beast, but he tamed one. But now since his career was ruined Seb really quite hasn't had an adventure, he really has not move from the tavern where he spends most of his drunk life in, unless he is kicked out and passed out on the dirt. But Seb misses that adventure, he really does.
- Communicative- Seb likes to talk, but not in an annoying way, well half of that it is true, but Seb likes to talk through problems or arguments. When someone is anger at him, he does not want to stay quite but instead get right to communicating about what he did wrong to offend the person in the first place. Seb like to understand someone, he's thoughtful that way.
- Forgiving- If you know Seb then you know someone who doesn't hold grudges. Seb does not really believe in revenge, he believes you are only hurting youself if you want to burden yourself with someone that doesn't even deserve your time.
- Easygoing- Seb is a relaxed type of guy, he does not sweat the small stuff. He just does not like to be stress out and he believes everything is going to work out in the end somehow, someway.
- Honest- Seb hates lies, thus he refuses to lie. Besides he will just tell you straight up what he thinks. In other words, Seb is an open guy.
- Humorous- Seb likes to keep the atmosphere light with a bit of humor. Sometimes he will tell knock-knock jokes if he so extremely desperate to keep matters as way from a dark and brooding mood. Some may find him annoying for this others funny. But everyway he is going to tell some kind of joke corny or not.
- Good- Above all, Seb is a good guy, he really is, Seb just likes to act like he is not. But Seb is caring and kind person in the end. And if he had to make a final decision, its evil he will not allow to win. Because Seb knows evil kills innocents, and he hates to see innocent people die, or really a slaughter of any kind.
||Negative Traits||
- Alcoholic- Seb is known to be quite the drunk, but how he help it, Seb loves alcohol. And anyone would know where to find Seb, wherever and whenever the strong drink is being served.
- Selfish- Seb thinks about himself first, well at the beginning of the tale he does. But if you break through that part in his heart he really does care about others. But for now, he is have no want nor intention to leave his favorite bench at tavern to run around looking for some sword that he doubts even exists and he doubts the princess has visions. But there is one thing about Seb, he loves to compliment himself.
- Whiny- Okay, so Seb complains a lot, especially if he has to hike, he knows he is out of shape because of all the drinking he has done. So, jogging, hiking, walking, really just moving his legs cause him enough to complain about it. But if things do get horribly wrong and there is no way he can even find some way to be happy, he will whine.
- Lazy- As said before, Seb is not the most active guy, not like he use to be. Maybe it takes some exercise and practice to get him back in the mood of fitness, but for now he is lazy.
- Sarcastic- Sometimes Seb's words are marked by irony in order to mock or convey contempt. Some may find it quite alright, others may find it annoying or just rude. But truly it is not so much of a problem and others may make it out to be.
- Flirty- Well Seb is a flirt, how can he lie, he likes women and there's no doubt about that. But he's the guy that tries to act cute, sometimes it works other times he gets a slap to the face when spouting out flirty lines. But no matter Seb's that time of guy. However he can be charming when he really likes someone, in that moment there is no other word to describe him other than precious.
- Lack of Hygiene- Seb is not known to smell the best, okay, he smells like cheap alcohol most of the time. He finds bathing a waste of time when you could spend time chugging down mead.
||Hobbies||
- Drinking- this is pretty clear by now, Seb drinks a lot. But because he does have a high tolerance, he does not get nearly as drunk as people emphasis.
- Playing his lute- After his dragon riding career was over he tried to become a bard, but there was one thing he has no musical talent, but that won’t stop him from trying, believing if he stopped then that would be another thing he can add to his list of failures. But hey, when he strums his lute he might even sing, not saying his singing is any better than his instrument playing.
- Thinking of the past- Whenever Seb does shut up, it’s because he’s thinking of the past and even though he thinks people shouldn’t hold grudges, he is guilty of holding one against himself. It’s like he cannot forgive himself for letting his dragon friend die and being a failure. He wished there was any way he could go back in time and make things right, maybe he would turn out better.
- Juggling- When you live a boring life like Seb, most likely you’re going to get bored and find someway to entertain himself, therefore that’s what he did with juggling. One day he decided to toss a bunch of rocks around and figured he learned out to juggle pretty fast.
|Quirks|
- Gambles- Seb will not only engage in a few card games or a roll of the dice, but he also makes bets no matter how pointless or childish they are.
- Stretches- Seb not only likes to stretch often but will always stretch before a fight even if his enemy is right there, afraid he may pull a muscle while in the middle of a carrying out an action.
- Wood carver- When Seb was a boy he didn’t have any toys at first, so he took small chunks of wood and would carve out little animals out. Seb still has continued this odd hobby for a man like him, but it reminds him of home. Seb prefers to keep his wood carving a secret though.
- Spills- Seb is infamously known to be clumsy when he carries any type of drink, sometimes he does it on purpose out of carelessness or just to get on someone’s nerves. But no matter if Seb has a drink in hand most likely somewhat of it is going to land on the ground or you.
- Hums- Seb does not like silence, so when no one wants to talk to him he will start humming. But if someone tells him to stop humming, then he will just bring out his lute and start singing just to annoy them.
- Hugs- Seb loves hugs, sometimes he just suddenly will give one impulsively or if someone is getting pissed off at him, he'll just offer a hug, most likely just to annoy them.
|Skills/Strengths:|
- Throwing knives- When Seb was a dragon rider he used throwing knives quite often in races where knocking a rider off his dragon was allowed. So one good way to make sure a player falls off their beast is stick a knife in them.
- Dancing- Seb likes to have fun in life, and what’s more fun than dancing? A lot of people would be surprise Seb is a pretty good dancer when it comes down to it. But dancing is a good way Seb can release any extra energy inside.
- Hunting- Seb comes from peasant folk and his father brought him on hunts because they could never afford any of the market goods. So learning from his father, Seb was instructed how to survive by hunting prey. This also means Seb learned trap-making in order to make hunting more successful.
- Plant Identification- Seb knows what is poison and safe to eat in the wilderness, he learned this also from his father because they never purchases their own produce, instead they gathered.
- Tracking- Tracking did not only help Seb on hunts with his father, but also when finding his dragon, although it is not that hard to identify a dragon print.
|Weaknesses|
- Slow reflexes- After all the sluggish days and lazy nights Seb’s reflexes are not as fast as they once were when he was a famous dragon rider.
- Low stamina- Part of the reason why Seb does not like any cardio work is because he does not have a built endurance, thus he does get tired easily.
||Inventory/Weaponary|| Seb is more of a rogue, he fights with dagger he also uses like throwing knives. Seb also of course has to bring his alcohol around so he carries a little container that basically looks like a hip flask if he’s not already holding a bottle in his hand. He also carries a lute around he will practice with in his free time. Seb also carries a pouch that he almost never lets anyone sees, it is a pouch carrying all of the wooden figurines he makes.

The Past
|History|
From Peasants
Seb’s mother and father are peasants and the reason why they ever named him Sebastian is because they had faith that their son would grow up to be a noble figure in life. Sebastian is just a rich and honor-sounding of a name. As for Seb’s childhood however his mother and father were hard-working and good people, sometimes Seb wondered why such righteous people are forced to live in such poor conditions. So since from an early age Seb sought out to be something successful in life.
Dragon Rider
When it came the time Seb had to leave his parent’s home and start his own life, he had to clear his head. So, he went on an adventure, a way to flee from the troubles of a peasant life and perhaps find inspiration of what to do with the rest of his life. Therefore, on his journey he tracked down a dragon, hearing stories of the beasts, he decided if he would somehow trap the dragon he could kill it and gain loads of cash selling its skin and bones. But when he captured the dragon he could not help but feel sorry for the creature, so he first healed its wound he caused and then freed it. But when he freed the dragon it delighted in him healing it, he soon learned the dragon was a female to which he named Meadow, because she was beautiful and brought a lingering peace when he was with her. So instead of killing Meadow, he trained her to be a fierce dragon able to compete in races.
When things first started off, Seb and Meadow was a success. It was until Seb was riding in riskier races, races where the riders would try to knock each other off of their dragon or hurt their opponent’s dragon in order that they would not be able to complete the race. And on one particular race Meadow took an arrow straight through the throat causing her to fall. And the only reason why Seb made it out alive was because Meadow concealed Seb close to her chest and shielded him with her wings in order that he would not die. He was lucky enough that only his legs took a blow.
Drunk
Since after the death of his friend Meadow, Seb felt like a failure. So, he stopped trying to be successful in order that he will not fail again at something, or worse let others die because of his recklessness, or so he believes. Seb started with a few drinks, thinking maybe three would get him over his sorrows, but the number of drinks just got bigger and bigger as time passed, soon enough he was known to be a drunk before Zalthu’s kidnapping of the human king and now. But Seb has a chance to become a hero, will he laugh it off, or finally leave his drunken lifestyle.
