Zebastian
| Name: | Zaint Zebastian |
| Demeanour: | Bon Vivant |
| Profession: | Brutal-Bop Musician |
| Clan: | Malkavian |
| Sect: | Westside Anarchs |
| Position: | Socialist Socialite + Organiser |
For those attuned to a certain kind of Nightlife in Los Angeles? Zebastian has been lurking around since the 2000s War for Los Angeles - a then-shy wallflower under the wing of his Sire Daphne Guidry Breaux, a Free Stater battle axe and Anarch Consul who migrated north around 2015, leaving Zebastian to fend for himself in Westside. Since then he's cultivated a carefree unlife of after-parties, social speculation and making some of the most abrasive hyper-pop and brutal bop music imaginable.
Beyond the reputation for being a vivacious socialite who mixes and mingles with everyone who's anyone within L.A's insatiable Masqueraded nightlife? It's no secret that Zebastian has a prophet's tongue; emerging more than once to share insight on something pertinent he's glimpsed beyond the doors of perception. Prophecy comes with a price though - the Norwegian kid's attention is as fractured as anything, and one never knows if they're gonna get the loquacious socialite or the babbling glossolalia addled dissociate.
Still, it hasn't kept the Malkavian from establishing a social stronghold across Westside. After the unfortunate demise of Baron Cheyenne Spare of Santa Monica in 2020, Zebastian has been a most vocal supporter and community organiser for Westside Collective, the self-governing collective of young Anarchs working to secure their home territory and Libertas.
Because what use is living forever, if you aren't truly free?
| Westside is the Best Side: | Staple of Westside nightlife, Zebastian is always keen to get fellow Westsiders engaged in nocturnal activities and perhaps even share a little hot gossip on the latest happenings. Something going down? Zeb's likely heard and can lend a hand, perspective or direction. |
| Post-Free State Ideologist: | What does it really mean be free? Revisiting the ethics and obligations of the Status Perfectus is always something Zebastian is open to exploring at length - he may be a Westside baby, but he's a keen advocate for the principles of Libertas. |
| Diplomacy Matters: | As Emissary of Westside to the Tower in DTLA, Zebastian is known to engage with Camarilla Kindred, especially on matters of mutual concern and security. The fun doesn't stop there; Zeb's got a knack for negotiation and conflict resolution amongst Anarchs too - mostly. Isn't it wild that a Malkavian would get called in to be the voice of reason? |
| What A Wastrel: | Like partying and drinking blood? So does Zeb! Especially if there's a little something extra in there somewhere, spicing things up a notch. When on a roll, Zeb is a wrecking ball of chaos and carousing - what's more difficult is getting him to stop, look and listen to sense. Only so much of the town can be painted red before sunrise, after all. |
| Music Producer & Artist: | Zebastian has a knack for collaborating with other musicians who are looking to really whip up something special. A multi-instrumentalist with a brutally haunting aesthetic, he's known to be a perfectionist when expressing visions into reality. |
Over the last however many years, Zebastian has released a few mix-tapes and albums; his self titled first album Zt. Zebastian, the unreleased:rereleased collection of remixes and covers, and his latest album eyesoar that came out in 2020.
They are ... challenging to listen to, if one isn't prepared for an onslaught of twisted breakneck beats and hyperactive lyrical labyrinths or huge sonic tempests of gruelling pipe organs, mystic chanting and droning compositions. Still; the reviews were good.
Kid's got talent - and issues, apparently.
Partner in crime? Relapsed sponsor? Zebastian's shadow? No of course not, that'd be absurd - though he is more often than not seen in the company of the Bel Air native, personal assistant and artist formally known as:
Her Benevolent Eminence and Gracious Post-Imperial Highness, Supreme Leader Mae Seul-ki of the Pacific and North America Plate.
Companion. Muse. Problem solver.
