Though from a long line of doctors and alchemists, Xander's unlucky fate has lead him to become a host to the Fangs of Valmar alongside his more cheerful travel partner, Riley Arwell. He wanders the world with a grim outlook and even grimmer intentions, leaving behind a trail of dead in sacrifice to the Fangs. Much as he detests this task, Xander hates the idea of giving up to die even more. He's determined to survive no matter how many lives he has to steal for it... or how much of his own humanity he forsakes in the process. It's turned him cynical and bitter with little joy to show for the life he fights so hard to keep. When it comes time to make the kill, Xander wields dark sorcery that takes the form of a cursed scythe and an unholy garden. Some of the flowers he conjures are the very same that appear on the graves of the lives he's claimed.

Background

Xander was born in a small, wilderness town on Filgaia called Cereza, where he grew up alongside his best friend Riley Arwell. Despite growing up dreaming of adventure and becoming a Drifter, he ultimately turned down Riley's offer to leave together once they were old enough. Reluctantly, he remained in Cereza, training to be an alchemist and doctor under the tutelage of his parents. Riley eventually returned home seeking Xander's help after becoming host to the Fangs of Valmar. The two were unable to find a true solution, and in the end, Riley ended up pulling Xander into a shared form of the curse. On a completely unrelated note steeped in bloodshed and tragedy, there's not much left of Cereza... or anyone who once lived there.

Now Xander travels with Riley, not following dreams of heroism, but in search of sacrifices to keep the Fangs from devouring them... regardless of the cost.

[Though Xander stayed in Cereza most of his life, he could have met other characters in the past -- he sometimes made calls to other nearby villages to help with medical crises, and Cereza could have had its visitors. Contact me if you're interested in an alt having known Xander before the Fangs got a hold on him. He used to be a sweet kid once.]

Powers and Abilities

  • Curative Alchemy: Practiced in alchemy, but hyper specialized with curative and beneficial effects. Usually takes the form of perfumes, injections, or... candy.
  • Medical Skill: Xander knows how to practice more mundane methods of tending to the sick and wounded from cleaning wounds to basic surgeries. Problem is, when the Fangs want blood, and he's got a vulnerable patient in front of him... Let's just say, most of Xander's medical knowledge now goes into where best to stab someone.
  • Scythe of Valmar: The Fangs provide a manifestation of power in the form of a scythe for Xander. But he'd be good with a stick -- or an actual polearm -- in a pinch. Such weapons are what he grew up actually trained with.
  • Blood Garden: A symbolic space representing the Fangs of Valmar's hunger. But this evil influence can be summoned as dark sorcery. Where Riley may call more poisonous, toxic variations, Xander seems more inclined to focus on thorny brutality or carnivorous blossoms.
  • Sleight-of-Hand: Pick a card, any card. Better yet, maybe never play cards with him at all. Also, watch for hidden daggers. Or the gun he found.
  • STABBING: He has so many knives.
  • Determination: If Xander must hunt human life to live, then he accepts this grim fate. Nothing short of death will make him give up.
  • ...Dance?!: Could everyone please just shut up.
