Please take the time to read the information in Sabastion's bio.
It is important that one understands his nature, and may therefore
have a better understanding of him and have more patience if they wish
to get to know him. Thank you.






[name] Sabastion
[gender] male, buck
[age] ageless, late adolescence
[species] resembles a Sambar deer; was once human
[orientation] homosexual
[diagnosed with] insomnia, undifferentiated schizophrenia, social phobia
[height & build] #29
[speaks in] #7DA9C7
[voice] David Gilmour (singing)
[set] nightfall pelt, skull mask, candles
[reference]

Sabastion suffers from insomnia and rarely finds rest. When he does, he has surreal dreams that are devoid of hope.
He tends to wander, as he gets restless easily, even if he's in the company of friends.
He is often deep in thought and stuck in a perpetual waking dream-like state.
Large antlers are frightening to him; he is uncomfortable around very masculine deer.
He is homosexual, but he is very much in denial of this. He fears any form of intimate contact, and nuzzles from males.
His fear of large antlers is attributed to his fear of giving in to his underlying sexuality towards males.
He is prone to having bouts of anxiety and sometimes panic attacks, usually over nothing.
Because of his social phobia he tends to avoid groups of deer; he prefers minimal company.
He may flee from a growing crowd, or invasive deer. He is easily spooked by deer that rush into his personal space.
Suffers from mild audio and visual hallucinations at times due to having a form of schizophrenia.
His audio hallucinations are similar to this wavering sound effect (1:20-1:22).
On the rare occasion he also hears disembodied whispering and screams, as well as unearthly noises.
Visual hallucinations vary in their intensity, but usually not crippling. Mostly consist of facial and shadow distortions.
It is sometimes difficult for him to remember faces or scents due to these distortions. His memory is also not very good.
Patience and understanding are key to knowing and getting to know Sabastion.

He is gentle, nervous, shy, flighty, awkward, introverted, observant,
submissive, cautious, uncertain, distrusting, self-loathing, lonely,
wary, fearful, insecure

He loves small company, comfort, sunshine,
sitting in flower patches, fog, the sound of rain, watching from afar,
being hidden from view (security)

He fears himself, intimacy, confrontation, fighting,
darkness, aggression, large antlers, masculine displays,
hallucinations, deep water, his desires

This character seems so

This character seems so simple, yet so complex! I dig that. *Brings out an ultra ball* Anyways, time to go catch a litwick... >:]

Ah, I was hoping that someone

Ah, I was hoping that someone would recognize the reference! I'm not sure why I thought to use that name for the picto, to be honest. I guess it's because it reminded me of a lit candle. Mystery solved, lol! And, thank you so much! <3 I'm very happy to hear that, because that's exactly what I was going for!

I noticed the reference right

I noticed the reference right on the spot. c:

I am glad that you are happy, and I would like to meet this character in-forest sometime. Whenever I get the chance, then?

DOUBLE-POST. woops...

Absolutely! I would love for

Absolutely! I would love for him to meet one of your characters, though depending on their physical appearance it may be either easy or hard to approach him. If the character is a doe who doesn't have huge antlers, then he was immediately be comfortable. Of course, you can meet him on whatever character you wish; I look forward to it! Smiling

I would like for him to meet

I would like for him to meet my only currently active character, Ietidal. She is colorblind and charming, but still a bit distant and solitary. Is that good? xD

That sounds wonderful! She

That sounds wonderful! She seems very interesting, and on a similar level as Sabastion. I would love for them to meet sometime!

+ Oh! Is that her beside him, under the willow?

Lol, I'm actually in the

Lol, I'm actually in the forest now. Sticking out tongue Maybe they could meet... uh.... now..... DERP.... Sorry. I spazzed. o_o

LOL, no problem! It's funny,

LOL, no problem! It's funny, as soon as I made my last post I finally noticed the picto of the DOTD deer next to Sabastion. Whoops!

Oh! That was you? I'm gonna

Oh! That was you? I'm gonna go back to the forest screen now. LOL

Yup, that was him! And now

Yup, that was him! And now she's run off, LOL! I will have him wander and see if he runs into her. Smiling

Is he wearing his usual set?

Is he wearing his usual set?

Is he wearing his usual set?

He is. Ietidal ran right by

He is. Ietidal ran right by him earlier at the playground. I can have him sit on one of the rocks so it's easier to find him. Smiling

OH JEEZ. I'm going to have to

OH JEEZ. I'm going to have to log out and log back into the game again. I am at the playground right now........ So, brb. *shivers* Now THAT is scary....

No problem! Could you not see

No problem! Could you not see him? He will be on the big playground rock when you return. I had that glitch sooo much.

Yup, my game glitches a lot

Yup, my game glitches a lot since I use an older version of the game for set purposes.

Edit: Man, I can't log back in with Ietidal! D:
I guess that I'll just wait then. I'm going to post a character bio here that I've working hard on instead. My computer is just so disappointing!

Ah, gotcha. That's definitely

Ah, gotcha. That's definitely one of the downsides to playing on the older versions, although in all fairness the new version does lack the ever-awesome permadevout glitch. Sticking out tongue

I'm very sorry to hear that! It's no problem, though; I would very much like them to meet sometime. Now that I know her set and picto, I'll be able to keep an eye out for her!

Haiii. *waves* I've seen this

Haiii. *waves* I've seen this guy around. You got me curious, which means that you're another victim in my ''to stalk'' list. B|


Edit: Pink Floyd is totally awesome btw. 8D

Why hello there! *waves back*

Why hello there! *waves back* LOL, I am very much flattered, thank you so much! I'm happy that he's caught your interest. <3 Looks like I'll be keeping an eye out for suspicious stalking deer! Sticking out tongue

Yesss~ I absolutely love Pink Floyd. Funnily enough, I was inspired to make Sabastion while listening to both Pink Floyd and Aphex Twin one day. If there can ever be a perfect combination of music, it's those two, hands down!

That's my Martin sitting with

That's my Martin sitting with him right now. 8D Sab' is completely darling. I find him so adorable, you have no idea. ;u;

They give great inspirations indeed. c8

D'aww, thank you so much! I

D'aww, thank you so much! I am very happy to hear that, and I feel the same way about Martin! I have an adoration for transgendered and androgynous characters, so Martin makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside~ T_T <3
1Antidote's picture

I must agree with you about

I must agree with you about adoring transgendered characters. I also didn't mention that I love the fact that Sab' is homosexual. Homo's rule. o3o
SO, does Sabastion have a design of his own? >u>

LOL, yes, gay characters are

LOL, yes, gay characters are the best! <3 Although he is in severe denial, the poor guy. T_T As for his design...I really, really hate to say it, and kind of ashamed to admit it, but I haven't really decided on anything. He does have a human face, the skull is from an actual deer, and he does have candles on his tines. Buuut, I haven't figured out what his coat looks like...well, markings-wise, anyway. It may just be a literal translation to how it appears in-game, but I'll be muddling over it for sure! Smiling

Totally.&hearts; I can't wait

Totally.♥ I can't wait to see how he looks. ouo I bet he's gonna look awesome. I don't have neat art skills, but I'd love to try to draw him. c:

Aww, really?! I am so happy

Aww, really?! I am so happy to hear that, you have no idea! T_T <3 I will definitely have to draw him, and see if I can come up with a decent design. It'll probably end up being simple, but we'll see!
1Antidote's picture

Simplicity is the most

Simplicity is the most beautiful. c: Anyway, can't wait to see it!

I think they're being watched/stalked by that deer over there. >_>

I'm inclined to agree with

I'm inclined to agree with you; much beauty and meaning can be found in simplicity, certainly. I will definitely show you when I'm done with it!

LOL, how ironic: the stalker and the stalkee are being stalked! o3o
1Antidote's picture

Yay! c: LOL. Can you see its

Yay! c:

LOL. Can you see its picto on the map? It doesn't appear for me and I'd like to know who it is. I'm so curious.


Gahh...unfortunately, it's

Gahh...unfortunately, it's not showing up for me either! I am very curious now, so of course the map decides to glitch. Figures! T_T He's starting to weird me out, what with how he shifts around. I also think he was floating/sliding at one point, but that might've just been my viewer being buggy.
Freyja's picture

Sorry! That would be my

Sorry! That would be my Brynhried. I don't know why his picto doesn't show up.
But he's picked up a stalker technique and doesn't have a clue how to interact socially. He's given up for now; i've got to go to dinner
1Antidote's picture

Creepy weirdo. :B I kinda

Creepy weirdo. :B I kinda like him, though. :D Hmm, I didn't see him floating or sliding, so I suppose it was your viewer. It happens to me sometimes too. :|
lol, Martin feels so frightened. Poor thing.

Freyja - Ah, so that's your

Freyja - Ah, so that's your deer; pleased to meet you! LOL no worries at all; I find him to be pretty interesting! I play a socially awkward character myself, so I completely understand. Sabastion is curious about him, but he's also a little nervous; he's not used to others watching or stalking him, even if they have friendly intentions. I apologize for any bad vibes, as all of Sabastion's reactions are purely IC. But, I am glad that the mystery has been solved! Silly map, gah.

1Antidote - LOL, I like him too! Pff, yeah, I figured it was my viewer; it does funky stuff like that sometimes, but it's usually more amusing that annoying. Aww, poor Martin! T_T Sabastion's nervous for sure, but not quite afraid yet. Yet being the key word! Sticking out tongue

We have some guests coming

We have some guests coming over to our house, so I'll have to go spend some time with them. I'll be afk for a while, though I'll leave Martin in the forest. Sab' is free to leave him whenever, though.~

No problem! That is good

No problem! That is good timing actually, because I'm going to head off to bed soon (it's almost 6:30 AM where I am in the States...gah, I'm bad LOL). I probably won't leave the game running, but in any case I had a lovely time playing Sab and meeting Martin! It was quite an evening, too: I'm shocked the poor guy hasn't had a heart-attack, LOL! I do hope that they can meet again in the near future, and despite his bad memory I have a feeling that Sab will be able to remember Martin's scent. :3 Have yourself a good day/evening; it's been fun! <3
Freyja's picture

I have to go too, but yeah.

I have to go too, but yeah. Bryn got pretty impatient towards the end and tried to convince them he wasn't aggressive by dancing! And then he gave up on that and just....slept.

STALKER DEER AWAYYYY

Aww, poor guy! Sabastion

Aww, poor guy! Sabastion began to realize that Bryn wasn't aggressive, but he still felt uncomfortable that he had been following him and Martin. He had never been followed like that before, even by a friendly deer, and so he wasn't sure how to react. Bryn is a sweetie, though, and he did mean well. Hopefully there aren't any hard feelings on his part! Sad
