Sebastian

Type	Villager
Birthday	Winter 10
Lives In	The Mountain
Address	24 Mountain Road
Family	Robin (Mother) Maru (Half-Sister) Demetrius (Step-Father)
Marriage	Yes

Sebastian is a quiet, rebellious marriage candidate who lives in the basement of the Carpenter's Shop at 24 Mountain Road. He is Robin's son, Maru's older half-brother and Demetrius's stepson, and he often feels overlooked next to his gifted sister. He works from home as a freelance programmer and spends long hours on his computer, comic books, science fiction and tabletop games. He rides a motorcycle and dreams of leaving the valley for the city one day. His heart events slowly open up a guarded loner, from a role-playing game in his room to a rainy afternoon under his umbrella and a night ride to his favourite place.

Lore

Sebastian is introverted and can seem unfriendly to people he does not know. He explains that he likes having friends but needs a lot of time alone to balance out the social side of life. He finds computers engaging, straightforward and unselfish, which he says is the opposite of many people he knows.

He has a darker taste than most of the town. He prefers gloomy weather, takes an interest in things others find creepy and often thinks about life's bigger questions. His basement room has no window, and he jokes that it might be less depressing if it did.

Work matters to him, and it frustrates him that nobody takes his programming seriously. He is saving up to move to the city, because freelancing lets him stay out of the corporate rat race and work behind a screen rather than face to face.

He smokes, often by the lake near his house or outside the Railroad. Robin worries about him, and she sometimes calls him "Sebby".

Schedule

Sebastian spends most mornings and afternoons in his basement room at the computer. Later in the day he often walks out to stand by the lake near his house and smoke. On Thursdays he may visit the Railroad and stand by the tunnel.

On Fridays he heads to the Stardrop Saloon to play pool with Sam, with Abigail watching nearby. On Saturdays he spends the day with Sam, first in town and then smoking by the river near Sam's house. On rainy days he likes to stand at the end of the pier at the Beach.

Relationships

Sebastian lives with his mother Robin, his stepfather Demetrius and his half-sister Maru. He feels Maru gets all the attention and praise, and his relationship with Demetrius is tense. In Winter he complains when Demetrius orders him to remove the snow-goon he built.

His closest friends are Sam and Abigail. The three spend Friday nights at the Saloon and stand together at festivals. Sebastian always beats Sam at pool and finds Sam's lack of skill funny. He plays keyboard in Sam's band, and he was the one who wanted Abigail to join as the drummer.

Gifts

Sebastian loves Frog Egg, Frozen Tear, Obsidian, Pumpkin Soup, Sashimi and the Void Egg, along with every universal love. Sashimi is the easiest loved gift, because cooking any fish in the kitchen makes it. Frozen Tears turn up on the icy floors of The Mines. Cracking Magma Geodes and Omni Geodes turns up Obsidian, and he plans to shape it into a dagger. Pumpkin Soup brings back memories for him.

He likes Quartz, Flounder, Combat Quarterly, the Monster Compendium and most universal likes. Quartz from The Mines is a cheap, steady gift.

His hated list catches many farmers out. He hates almost every artisan good except Coffee, Green Tea and Oil, so Wine, Jelly, Cheese and similar goods are poor choices. He also hates eggs other than the Void Egg, along with Clay, Complete Breakfast, Farmer's Lunch, Omelet and Piña Colada. He dislikes most flowers and several wild mushrooms. His birthday falls in Winter, when gifts count eight times as much.

At the Movie Theater he loves It Howls In The Rain and Mysterium. His favourite snacks are Jasmine Tea and Stardrop Sorbet. He dislikes The Brave Little Sapling, The Miracle At Coldstar Ranch and The Zuzu City Express.

These gifts are the ones this villager loves most.

Heart Events

At two hearts, Sebastian is busy at the computer when the farmer visits his room. He explains that he is a freelance programmer. Sam messages to ask him out, and Robin says Abigail plans to drop by, which annoys him because nobody treats his work as a real job. Asking about his goals or his need for time alone draws out more about him.

At four hearts, he is working on his motorcycle outside the house on The Mountain. He says he sometimes rides far from the valley on his own, and he suggests the farmer could come along one day.

At six hearts, he invites the farmer to play Solarion Chronicles, a tabletop role-playing game, with him and Sam. The farmer picks a class and plays through a short adventure that ends in a boss fight.

At eight hearts, on a rainy afternoon, he is standing on the pier at the Beach. He is surprised to see the farmer out in the rain and admits that other people make him anxious, but the farmer does not. He opens an umbrella and invites the farmer under it.

At ten hearts, he is about to ride off when the farmer visits The Mountain at night. He takes the farmer on his motorcycle to a quiet place where he goes to think. There the farmer can urge him to quit smoking, and he confesses his feelings.

At fourteen hearts, after marriage, a rainy day on The Mountain leads to a talk about a frog. The next day at the Farmhouse, he has set up a terrarium, and the farmer can encourage him to keep a frog.

Marriage

Sebastian can be married once he reaches ten hearts and has accepted a Bouquet. On rainy days the Old Mariner at the Beach sells the Mermaid's Pendant, which is needed for the proposal. After the wedding he moves into the Farmhouse and adds his own room beside the bedroom. He also sets up a space behind the Farmhouse where he sometimes works on his motorcycle. He often remarks that the farm is far more pleasant than his old basement.

Notes

Sebastian may post requests on the Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store. Each completed request pays three times the item's base price and raises friendship with Sebastian.
