"So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you!
And guess what?
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done,
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool, so
So what?" So What? by P!nk

HISTORY:
Sbeastian, or as he was known then, Justus Flowers, was born to a perfect Mormon family smack-dab in the middle of Salt Lake City. He was the fourth out of seven children and his earliest years went unnoticed and were uneventful. He was nine when he started causing trouble.
He would dress up in his mother's and sister's clothes, at least, that's how it started. He liked "girly" things and he was an obsessive cuddler. Whenever he was playing games with other children, he always took the "girl" role. When he was thirteen, he became openly reasoning against the Mormon religion using something horrible that he referred to as "logic". Of course, his parents were shocked and appalled and spent most of their time punishing him, but the final straw did not come until they found Justus sitting in a coffee shop (drinking coffee!) kissing another man on the mouth. He was ex-communicated and tossed out onto the streets. He had just turned seventeen.
Justus spent a year living with the few friends while he finished high school. He had been heavily involved in the performing arts and he knew he was going to pursue a career as a professional actor. After his eighteenth birthday, he took steps to legally change his name and he was successful a year and a half later. He wanted to wash away all traces of his family, which he hated with a burning passion. He still wanted to be an actor, wanted to have a steady boyfriend and be respected. In other words, he wanted to get out of one of the most conservative cities in America. He was waiting tables and singing in the streets with his guitar. Scrounging for months, he saved up enough for a plane ticket and a month's rent in New York City.
New York the first time around sucked for him, so he ended up moving to Boston, where he got a scholarship to attend college, where he achieved first a Bachelors and then a Masters because he enjoyed being in a place that celebrated who he was, rather than pressuring him to hide him true self.
Things got a little weird when he started hanging out with this one guy on whom he had a huge crush. The guy in question liked to hang out at night under the stars (and the moon). One night, they were out on the football field on the bleachers when the guy leaned in. Sebastian leaned in as well, thinking the object of his affections was finally going to kiss him, but instead fangs sunk into his neck. For a moment, all he knew was pain, but then his attacker let him go and stood up and howled at the moon before sprinting off into the night. The wound healed well enough, but on the eve of the next full moon, Sebastian transformed into a werewolf. It took him an entire year to come to terms with what he was, but eventually, he learned how to cope...and how to hide it from his friends and roommates.
After college, he started auditioning. He was in a few independent films and even worked as a dancer in a strip club before he was ready to moved back to New York. He immediately scored the male lead in Next To Normal and for awhile, everything was good. After the show ended, Sebastian expected to get cast immediately, but for three years, he was out of years. Finally, he was cast again in Cats and his luck started to turn.
For years, he would tables in between musicals and he wrote and recording music using his webcam. He was never "discovered" past a respectable musical theater actor, but he was hired at Rosencrantz and Guildenstern University, a university for people like him.
PERSONALITY:
Sebastian is a rebel with a taste for the out-of-the-box. He enjoys shock value, he likes to keep people guessing and he enjoys going against people's expectations of him. He's immensely proud of himself for getting out and "making it" as an actor and a singer. He's proud of cutting all ties with his family and parades himself as being his own individual. No one can tie him down or make him change who he is, he believes. He's all for me, myself and I.
While he's not arrogant, this makes for a self-centered, rather selfish individual and while he is reasonable, he's still focused on himself. What can I get? What do I get out of my end of the deal? And his personal favorite, "how much will you pay me?". After years of living basically on the streets, Sebastian is money-minded and penny-pinching. And he's not above exchanging sex for favors or even money. He's not officially a prostitute, but he has slept with a person or two to get ahead and he'd do it again in a heartbeat. While he does have quite the temper, he doesn't have a huge ego and he's not completely obsessed with himself. He knows his limits and he respects them. He's confident, but not c.ocky and he's been in the world long enough to know who he is and when it all comes down to it, he's a nice guy.
He's very sweet-natured and even-tempered and he's friendly and socially pleasant, that is to say, he's the teacher you want to ask for extra help, he's the guy have lunch with, he's the artist you want to get to know better.

POTENTIAL PLOTTING:
I'd love for one of his siblings or cousins to show up and, Option A.)

Let's be rebellious ex-Mormons together!" He'll teach classes and direct the plays and fight with other teachers. I'd also like him to have a boyfriend or some sort of relationship and I'm wary of him doing stuff with students, because he still does have morals, SO START MAKING TEACHERS!!!
