[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,7,true][atrb=valign,top] | ★ NAME -- Sebastian Tannhauser ★ AGE -- Forty Two ★ ORIENTATION -- hetero | ★ GROUP -- Civilian (Ex Hero) ★ GENDER -- M ★ OCCUPATION -- Tavern Owner |
And if that's what you wanted
★ APPEARANCE
He is tall running into the six foot plus range and keeps an athletic build that gives him a bit of a sculpted look only made more so by his pale skin. He is albino and his eyes appear red in most lighting but sometimes under dim light take on a faded powder blue. His platinum blond hair appears ghost white and is kept cropped short but has a bit of an unkempt look to it most days. Normally he is found wearing business clothes almost always in a tie and vest it is rare to see him in anything that would be counted as causal. It is also uncommon to see him without a cigar or rolled cigarette even if unlit.
★ PERSONALITY
Sebastian is a cool headed business minded sort of person with a mater of fact view on the world. He tends to simplify things and speak his mind without beating around the bush. This can come across cold hearted to many but over all he just looks at the facts and tries to give the straightest answer to things. Though he could use more tact doing so that is something he has yet to understand. He tends to distance himself from most people until he can get an understanding of them but will quickly warm up after doing so. He can literally be the sort of friend that will help you not only move but move bodies if you endear yourself to him. He has a habit of look past or through people while thinking something that can come off unnerving and smokes way to much for anyone's good. He tends to dwell on the past focusing on failures more then one should and this gives him a bit of a need to over correct things. While others might pay it forward he does so in spades when he can partly because he just wants to help and partly because of his own guilt.

★ Backstory
Sebastian Tannhauser was the son of a wealthy German family. Old money form the old world one could say. But Sebastian was also born different. It was clear at a early age he was a NEXT something still fairly new at the time. His family sent him to Sternbild were there was an active group studying these sorts. He grew up as a sort of exchange student for most of his life. Something that has shaped him greatly and one of the reason he has no accent despite his nationality.
But this is not all there is to him. He was once a prime time hero even a good one. He joined the ranks of Hero TV at a shocking young age of 16 but that was 26 years ago and that record has been past since then. He was billed as the big up and comer in the league and things were looking like that might be true but only six months into his first season the whole thing came crashing down on him. Faced with a hostage situation he was the only Hero to get on scene and the inexperienced lad tried a risky gamble to save the hostages. Things would have gone well for him he had subdued the criminals and it was looking like the rookie was living up to his fame. But then something happened his NEXT power went wild and many people in the area were injured one even died. It would later come out that he was suffering from some sort of unstable power issues and that the diagnosis was that his powers would fade. His sponsor dropped him and the legal battles for the injured went on for years.
As a young man in his twenties with the past starting to be forgotten and his powers faded he went about recreating himself. His family still alive and well had mostly cut him off for fear of the backlash of his legal battles. But they did leave him a trust and he used that to start a life as a businessman. He quickly found a role he enjoyed after a few false starts he ended up opening a tavern. A quite little place where anyone no matter there place in the world could come and have a drink and a meal. Word traveled quietly among the NEXT about the Ex Hero turned barkeep and the Tannhauser Tavern became a sort of off duty hang out for more then a few heroes as well as many a civilian NEXT. He only has one rule... Leave your powers and problems at the door.
