Xavier Akafur CS

[Xavier Akafur]

Name: Xavier Osmodeus Akafur

Race: Kelvic

Birthday & Age: Spring 506AV (5 years old, early 20's relatively)

Gender: Male

Height: 6'0"

Physical Description: The first thing one would notice about the man would be his eyes. Twin star-bursts of emerald green in his iris were flecked with a vivid gold. Sharp, shrewd, but not unkind. His brows were often knitted in thought when he was not directly engaged, and their fiery red color matched the shaggy hair upon his head. His complexion was light, but not much so, being out under the sun as often as any other. Facial hair was kept trimmed down to a short goatee, covering only apex of his chin. This particularly striking visage was set upon a pair of broad shoulders, giving the man a look of strength about him. Muscle tone, while not absent, was not particularly defined. Usually wearing a robe of some sort and a simple pair of pants, he often left the robe open, revealing a distinguishing scar across the left side of his stomach. The scar was slightly lighter in color than the rest of his skin, and looked to be from a severe burn that spanned about a foot in diameter. The back of his robe was often slitted to the waist. His hands are large, even for his size, and sport black pads in the center of the palms. His fingers are webbed with a light tan, highly elastic skin.

Animal Form: North American River Otter. Scar remains on his left side, though it is smaller and obscured by fur.

Personality
At first encounter, Xavier may appear to be reckless, eccentric, and arrogant. This is probably true, however, he has many redeeming qualities that have made him many friends over the years. He is naturally charismatic, honest, loyal and genuine. Xavier believes that life is only worth the excitement you get out of it. Often found smiling and laughing, the man is heartily cheerful even in bad circumstances. Despite his seemingly outlandish behavior, beneath it all he has an iron willpower and immense self-control. He is witty and sharp, and observant as a hawk. A deep thinker in disguise, Xavier often will indulge himself in speaking deeply with other intellectuals about theoretical circumstances, philosophy, and past experiences.

Ethics - Xavier is a typically good-hearted fellow. He believes in friendship and loyalty, and will always do what he thinks is right no matter the consequences. He has an aversion to killing needlessly, but is often the first one to pick a fight with someone he believes deserves a good beating.

Likes - A good brawl, a good laugh, making friends, adventure, excitement, passion, honesty, conversation, philosophy.

Dislikes - Undead, though he will tolerate them if need be. Organized environments make him uneasy, and he will avoid alchemy labs if at all possible. Senseless killing. Authority.

Character History

Pre-Creation - Xavier's life started in a remote little section of the forests of Taldera. His parents owned a small log cabin in the forest, where his father collected relatively rare herbs from the forest and created salves and potions to sell to the nearest settlement. They lived in relative peace, until a group of thieves stumbled upon them. They looted the house and set fire to it upon leaving to prevent Xavier's father from attempting to follow them. When Xavier awoke, the house was already ablaze. His father was shouting for him, and he rushed as fast as he could through the smoke. A smouldering beam fell from the ceiling and pinned the child Xavier to the floor, burning his side. His father rushed back inside and lifted the beam to free his son. Xavier ran out of the house as fast as he could, and managed to end up facedown in the grass outside. His father was unable to escape, passing out from smoke inhalation shortly after saving his only child. His mother had died similarly in her sleep. Xavier awoke some few hours later, the ruins of the cabin burning nearby, and a horrible burn on his side. He managed to drag himself to town and inform the people there of what had happened. They saved his life and nursed him back to health, but with no money and no real usefulness to them, he soon felt guilty and left.

He spent most of his years traveling, as he found that the excitement of new experiences helped him to not dwell on the past. Over time that desire for excitement became the only motivator for his life, causing him to be unruly and belligerent whenever he thought it would garner him a fight. However, he was a smart man, and knew that such a thing was at it's core, pointless. Life was not about fighting. A long walk and some soul searching told him that the only true happiness in life was found through companionship, and so with a little effort he adopted the friendliness that is evident in him today. He still does a lot of soul searching, but at least he is happy now, and is no longer running from the past. He never quite lost the love of an adventure, though.
