From Sebastian....

Just a couple meager thoughts

Sebastian (deserving to be hailed or idolized): The name itself is based from Latin that means “from sebaste” In the long run it means “Venerable” which means deserving to be venerated. But mostly it just means worthy of praise. It was a translation from the Roman “Augustus” which was used by emperors of the time. So what I’m thinking is that Sebastian is incredibly regal and is a natural born leader. I told Matt earlier that i see sebastian as a Wesley sort of character from "the Princess Bride" and I'm planning on using him as an icon.

Saint Sebastian: Martyred himself which is interesting to me because In the first few scenes with Sebastian I get the sense that he would have gladly given his own life so that his sister could have lived.

Seb. If you will not undo what you have done, that is
kill him, whom you have recover’d, desire it not

Twelfth Night:
The last day of the Christmas season is January 6, the feast of the Epiphany, when Christ was revealed to the world in the personage of the Magi. The evening before is called Twelfth Night, the most "riotous" holiday of the year for Elizabethans (Singman 61). Supposedly, the classes changed places for the day. Servants lorded over their masters; higher order clergy served the lowly priests; children were free of rules
