Character Profile: Sebastian Spencer

Sebastian Spencer is the main protagonist of The Watch. He's eighteen years old and when we meet him, he's a nervous person who prefers to stay in and read a good book or watch a good film instead of going out to party all night long as the atmosphere makes him feel uncomfortable. He's a nervous person by nature, however that factor is contradicted by how his curiosity can take charge and ultimately put him in situations that he would rather get out of as quick as possible. Due to his staying in doors, his is book smart so knows how to solver particular problems, but when it comes to the outside world, he struggles to interact properly, therefore increasing his nerves, creating a rather vicious circle.

But he isn't an introvert. His friend, Tom, who he has known him since the first day of preschool and has been by his side ever since supporting him through the toughest of times, made sure of that by dragging him outside allowing Sebastian to gain some intelligence when it comes to interacting with the world around him, and as a result, he doesn't mind going on as long as there is someone who he knows accompanying him, which isn't what Tom wanted to happen at all. At the back of his mind, Sebastian does know that if he didn't worry so much, he would be able to appear smarter when out and about rather than just inside, where he can recite the entirety of the Elements Song and knows all of the atomic numbers for each element, among other mental talents, including his powerful imagination, which he is very proud of. He also considers his instincts as a strength as well.

On the first day of college, as everyone was getting ready for their first science class, Sebastian noticed someone walk in with radiant blonde hair. He looked up, he saw Amy walk in and take her seat on the other side of the classroom, although he didn't know who she was at the time, but one quick question from Tom and he found out her name. It's fair to say that everyone gets nervous when they want to talk to someone they like, but the internal warfare that was going on inside Sebastian's mind was on a different level. For Four years, Sebastian tried to bring himself to have a conversation with Amy, but somehow always managing to catch her at a bad time, either when she was with her friends or just any time in general, he felt. Tom knew of Sebastian's feelings from day one and tried to encourage him to go up and talk, but never getting anywhere.

Ever since Sebastian could remember, his mum and dad would go away on lengthy business trips, leaving him in the company of his grandparents who would look after him for the entire duration, but they would always call whenever possible just to make sure he was OK, so he never got the feeling that his parents weren't there for him, understanding the value of work at an early age. Now that he is eighteen years of age, this summer would be the first time he would be officially on his own, but over the years his natural ability to look after himself has developed enough for him not to worry about anything as long as it's inside.

But everything changed when he received a strange and powerful device known only as The Watch...
