Distinguishing Marks: Not so much a mark as a trait but his hands permanently shake.
Sexual Orientation: Straight

Best friend: Sensei…he looks after him the best.

Personality: Carbon doesn't really understand much. He was born a simple yet loveable boy and that has remained with him, as he's grown. Although his heart is as big as his head (or so his mama used to say) he didn't really make any solid friends due to the slight damage done to his body. Although he's not a cripple or criminally insane there are some things to Carbon that are just not right and 'ordinary' people pick up on it. In the world before the virus people judged him, labelled him a freak and locked him away in a special school like some horrible example of genetics gone wrong but when he found Sensei he was treated like any other person and he opened his heart to his new friend…his only friend. He'd go out of his way to do you a favour, even if it were out of his reach he would keep trying until he was told it was okay to stop or reached the goal.

Personal History:
Lilly Stevens was born into a poor family. She lived in Kirkland, on the isle of Montreal in Quebec with her three older brothers and father Pierre, in a small house by the bridge that rattled as the trains passed and was constantly filled with the noise of sports blaring from the television.
Though times were extremely tough she was never without love and affection from her family, her brothers were protective but never hindering to her life and she enjoyed spending time with them. She cooked and cleaned to act like responsible woman in the house that they had lost since before she was two and she thrived at school gaining higher grades than her computer geek eldest brother David. Life was kind to her, it let her grown on her own terms and let her act like a care free young woman…until she met her high school boyfriend Andre, until she took the biggest step in her relationship and slept with him at her best friends birthday.

Lilly knew something was wrong the minute it was over, she could feel the cloud looming over her head and then six months later she was wheezing and screaming as she gave birth to her premature son. Andre was nowhere to be found and Lilly was left to look after a baby that would never be like any other children.

Six years later Sebastian played quietly in the front room as his uncles sat back and watched the hockey on tv. Sebastian was not like other children in Kirkland, he didn't play outside with the other little boys and he didn't enjoy digging up dirt and making mud pies, he hated eating anything other tomato soup and loud music made him cry. His mother lamented that it was getting hard to get him to stop wetting the bed and her brothers reminded her that it was all part of his mental aversion. Sebastian was starved of oxygen as a baby and his brain was slower than his physical age therefore making it harder for him to learn and act like every other six-year-old boy. As Sebastian grew into a teenager he had a few friends who didn't mind looking after him, though he didn't need much looking after. He didn't wet the bed, he understood the concept of boyfriends and girlfriends and surprisingly he could complex math, which puzzled both his family and the doctors. However his anger was something he had always struggled to control, while he was usually at peace with the world and everything in it if provoked it was hard for Sebastian to know when to stop and living with three uncles made him more than able to look know how to defend himself.

It was the day Sebastian beat his bully unconscious that his mother had no other choice than to take the school recommendations to send him to a special school where they could cater to his needs easily and efficiently. Sebastian begged and pleaded but his mother held firm with her brothers and sent Sebastian away to a school for the gifted just outside Sundance, Wyoming. Though he cried for a week straight he was still very much like a young child and adjusted almost completely to his new surroundings, he would occasionally get violent but the teachers knew how to handle it and soon Sebastian learnt himself. As he stayed at the school in it's halls of residence Sebastian learnt an array of new things, when studying a chemistry book he came across the word 'carbon', he smiled to himself saying it and liking the feel of it as it slipped of his tongue so the teachers nicknamed him Carbon as they found it cute of him to like such a strange word. It was possibly the best thing to happen to the boy until the virus struck out.

Schools like Sebastian's got hit fairly gradually as they sat just outside the town where it originated but when it did the building and surrounding area was engulfed in chaos and the building was free of supervision within a matter of days, leaving all the children to either haunt the school or escape to go live their own lives in the big wide world they had been told wonderful stories about. Sebastian left the school, he had no idea about itching to see the big world and was fascinated and terrified to find it still very much in chaos and far more dangerous than he'd ever experienced. He'd grown up in a poor part of Kirkland where crime was fairly high but people were looting, shooting and destroying everything they could so he fled to cover and find safety in a dark spot where people wouldn't find him. So he fled to the sewers, a less than desirable place to be but he began to panic and this was the one place where the noise was much quieter and there were no people around to fuss or harass him. He stayed there for a week, not eating much at all, until he found Sensei and started to tag along with him much to the boys protests. Though Sebastian knew that sometimes he would get angry or annoyed he wasn't all too sure why and was just glad that someone had come to look after him and help him survive…he never really thought of home after that, his mind was solely focused on living for the moment.

Birth Location: Kirkland, Quebec
Blood Family:
Father – presumed dead though was never around in his childhood.
Mother – presumed dead

What tribe do they belong to if any?: The Carrion

How long have they been with that tribe?: Since it's beginning

Personal Strengths: He's quiet, he can sneak up on you though he never intentionally does it. He's not afraid of rats or small vermin therefore living and being around the sewers never bothers him at all. He can always put a smile on your face with his do-gooder attitude and naïve outlook on life. Is a math wizard and is strangely handy with a wrench.

Personal Weaknesses: He's not a quick thinker; he depends on others and has no idea what a desperate person is capable of. He has no sense of stranger danger.

Personal Skills and Training: He can do complex mathematics; he's good at engineering because something about the numbers levels and puzzle type pieces just clicks instantly in his brain.

Job that they have in the tribe or whatever they do to keep themselves alive if they’re alone: He mostly serves as a companion but as said before can get an engine working in no time if it's required. He has a good imagination too and is often found telling stories to whoever will listen.
