sexual orientation ; Straight
wand ; A 13 inch holly wood wand with a manticore horn core.
affiliation ; Previously a death eater supporter, but currently nuetral due to his brother's death.
occupation ; Xavier is a free lance model who works with Witch weekly and Kane's quite a bit. He is also being groomed to take over for his father.
the appearance
height & weight ; Xavier isn't an imposingly built man. He is only about average height at 5'11. He is also not all that thick however he is exquistely and carefully muscleed. Xavier sees his body as one of his biggest weapons so he takes very good care of it. This attention to his physique is very obvious thanks to his scuplted look very well muscled, but safely within the bounds of being too muscled. So that he looks strong and masculine, but not barbaric.
hair ; Like most of his family Xavier was born with dark locks. His hair is actually a dark brown color, but often seems black thanks to hair products etc. His hair changes style often thanks to his career as one must be flexible with ones look to be a model, but he generally keeps it longish. His hair is of course always professionally done no matter what style it may be in. He obviously takes care of his hair, but he isn't obessive about it so if he has his preference his hair styles while professional still tend to be simple upkeep wise.
eyes ; With such strong, and sometimes intimidating features, one would expect his eyes to carry the same fear and power. However, when you look closely at the soft cloudy eyes, you can see a hint of playful attitude. It won't take long before you want to open up, to learn what makes him smile, what makes his eyes drop lazy from time to time. There is something mischevious hidden in his eyes. It only takes a second glance to notice, he's not as frightening as his first appearance may suggest.
facial features ; Xavier is without a doubt a good looking man. He is in fact the best looking member of his family and his face is his crowning glory. His face is sculpted in an almost classically perfect fashion. His face is very masculine with promiment cheek bones and strong chin. His nose is classicaly Roman. His lips are of course the best feature on his already attractive face they are plump and senseous without seeming overly feminine. His lips are what saves his face from being too severe.
distinguishing features ; Xavier was raised from a young age to value one's good looks. His mother taught him that a pretty face was almost as good as a sharp sword or a fast wand, so Xavier has always been very aware of his body and has always taken care of it. He's not particularly vain, but just as you would keep a sword sharpened and polished one must take care of their body. Which explains why Xavier has very few distinguishing marks. He has no scars to speak of because he has always been careful to have any injuries he incurs healed. He does have one mole, but unless you know him intimately you'll never be aware of it.
style ; Suprisingly for a model Xavier really isn't all that worried about fashion. Of course when your naturally attractive one hardly needs a special outfit with a special brand to make you attractive. He doesn't much care about fashion and if left to his rathers he will stick to simple items that are easy to take care of. He is in fact a fan of denim and khaki's. Of course if he really got a choice in the matter he'd probably only dress when it's cold as clothing really is only meant as protection from the elements. Despite the fact that he doesn't really care about fashion he still insists on the best and won't settle for cheap knock offs. His clothes tend to be simple, but it's simple in a fashionable way.

the personality[/color]
likes ;
THE BEST[/u] Xavier is the sort of man who has always been handed the best things in life on a silver platter and he is very happy with this fact. He enjoys owning the best of everything the hottest clothes, the newest broom, the stylish home. Even if it's not something he imagined he'd need or really want if it's the best he wants it and takes a great amount of pleasure from owning it. He is the sort who will toss anything that is no longer of the quality he thinks he deserves even if it's still perfectly good he will replace it with the newest and best model.
SWEETS[/u] Xavier has a real sweet tooth. He is absolutely gaga over anything with sugar. His very favorites are a very exclusive and expensive chocolate from Belgium. Sweets are something he will almost never be caught without while other people carry fancy cigar or cigarette cases Xavier carries a slim golden case that he stores licorice wands in for his enjoyment. Sweets is pretty much the only exception to his finickyness, because pretty much anything with sugar tastes good to him.
DRINKING[/u] Xavier is not a man who's likely to get drunk. He likes being in control of himself too much to get all that inebirated, but he absolutely loves enjoying a nice expensive wine or brandy. He finds small amounts of liquor to be very relaxing. There are very few moments in his days that he likes more than his before dinner drink as it gives him a chance to relax and do nothing other than enjoy the moment and his drink.
COMPETITION[/u] Xavier enjoys a nice challenge, but he loves compeition even more. He very much enjoys pitting himself against someone else to see who is the better person. Suprisingly enough he doesn't really care who wins or loses as long as both sides plays fair and both sides do the best that they can. Even if he loses he finds it very satisfying to even try and he feels that life without competition is little more than sitting around and waiting to die.
GAMES[/u] And no we aren't talking children board games. And while he does enjoy games of chance and games like quidditch and wizards chess he preffered sort of games is a little darker. He likes playing games with people. He enjoys manipulating peoples emotions and making them dance to his own tune. This isn't a past time he engages in too often as it can often be counter productive, but very little amuses him as much as his little 'games.'
dislikes ;
ARTICHOKES[/u] There really isn't a good reason that Xavier doesn't like artichokes he simply doesnt. He hates just about everything about the nasty little vegetables. He thinks they smell horrible. He thinks they taste horrible. He even thinks it's a hideously ugly vegetable. He will not eat artichokes or for that matter anything that has touched artichokes. Sometimes he will even avoid going to restaurants that serve the nasty little veggie.
DISLOYALTY[/u] Loyalty is one of the most important things in the entire world. What one is loyal too depends upon the person, but once one invests themselves into something they are honored bound to remain loyal to that interest. There is nothing more disgraceful to Xavier than a disloyal person. Any one who has proven themselves to be disloyal are worst than useless. He doesn't beleive loyalties can be easily changed and even that should only be done under the most extreme circumstances.
CHEATERS[/u] Xavier hates cheaters of all kinds. He hates people who cheat on a simple game as much as he hates people who will cheat on a deal or contract they have. He has no tolerance for cheaters of any sort. He thinks cheaters are a giant waste of time. He doesn't see the point in playing with or being with someone who will cheat. Of course he's not entirely sure which form of cheating is worse he hates people who cheat on games, but cheating on someone you have vowed loyalty to is equally bad if not worse.
BAD LOSERS[/u] Unsportsman like behavior is just disgusting to Xavier. It's almost as bad as cheating. He hates people who can't lose with grace. He feels that people who can't show good sportsman ship shouldn't play in the first place. he has absolutely no patience for people who don't take a lose well. He doesn't exactly savor losing, but he doesn't think theres in disgrace in not being the best man especially when you can always challenge them later. Anyone who shows what he considers to be unsportsman like behaviors will quickly be compltely and totally ignored they simply won't register on his radar.
EBONY STONE[/u] This goes beyond dislike and tends into the realms of straight out hatred. There is very little XAvier would like to do than stomp the life out of the girl who is suspected of killing Julian. Xavier doesn't even care that there wasn't all that much proof he wants the girl dead just because there is a possiblity that she is responsible. He is quite determined that he will see her screaming for mercy before he puts her out of her misery and that it's just a matter of time before she pays for her crimes.
strengths ;
FAKER[/u] A lot of people wouldn't see this as a strength as being genuine is usually much more valued. However Xavier is very very good at his act. Good enough that only a very few select peers know that there is more to him than the front that he offers to the world. Xavier isn't what you would call the best actor in the world, but he is extremely good at putting up a very convincing act of being a light hearted and spoiled pretty boy who wants little out of life other than enjoyment. He seems goaless and fairly harmless. Some people commented that he and his brother share the same personality, which in a way is true except that his brother's personality was genuine and Xavier's is little more than a game.
INSIGHTFUL[/u] A lot of people see Xavier as less than the brightest bulb in the box. This is for the most part true his grades while decent were nothing special, and his learning in the books department certainly could use some improvement, but there is one thing in the smarts area that Xavier is very good with. He is if he tries an insightful man while sometimes people behaviors can mystify others he can if he tries usually understand people. Of course this isn't something he does too often as you actually have to know someone pretty well to be all that insightful with them and there are few people Xavier bothers to get to know all that well.
ATHELETIC[/u] Xavier enjoys the best things in life and with that in mind he does his best to make himself the best man he can be. He pays attention to his body and takes very good care of it. This makes him fairly athletic as he forces himself to excercise on a regular basis, being sure to choice a variety of different excercises to keep him agile, limber, and strong. He isn't the strongest man in the world, but he is a very good runner and while he isn't the fastest he can hold his own. He is also pretty good at quidditch and quadpot.
weaknesses ;
SPOILED[/u] Xavier isn't exactly spoiled rotten as if it's absolutely necessary to go without he can, but he won't be happy with it. He is to be honest more than a little spoiled, but thats hardly surpsiing given the fact that he has had to work for very little in his life and that everything has practically been thrown into his lap on a silver platter. This treatment has led him to like things exactly how he likes them and he is known to reject stuff that isn't exactly to his pleasing. He's not willing to settle for the second best unless absolutely necessary and even then he'd probably accept the facts with a less than graceful attitude.
SKEPTICAL[/u] Never a big man on faith and quite aware of how easy it is to play games with people Xavier is not a man who beleives in people easily. He is almost naturally distrustful and almost expects people to show themselves to be less than wonderful people. He can count the number of people he actually trusts on one hand with fingers left over and one of those people are dead. Even if he pretends to trust someone more often than not he expects people to betray him and to show the very worst parts of themselves. This leaves him with very few true friends and even less people he would go to were he ever in need of help.
JULIAN[/u] His brother was and is Xavier's favorite person in the world. He was the one person he felt he could trust with no reservations. He knew Julian would never betray him or leave him. His younger brother was one of the most certain things in his life. They didn't always see eye to eye, but he never once doubted that he loved his brother and vice versa. However now that Julian is dead Xavier is dealing with a lot of emotional issues. Guilt, anger, lonliness, and a grief so big he doesn't even know how to even begin to deal with it. Julian's lost has made him volatile and less reasonable than usual. He can see very little other than a need to hurt the people who took Julian's life. He knows that this is the last thing Julian would want, but Xavier just can't be reasonable about the matter.
boggart ; Xavier has no biggest fear anymore as it's already been realized in the form of his brother's death. He's fairly sure nothing else will ever scare him.
amortentia ; Expensive belgian chocolates, daffodils, and salt water.
erised ; To destroy the biatch who killed his brother.
veritaserum ; That he blames himself for his brother's death. He feels that if he hadn't been so tolerant of his brother's behaviors and had encouraged him to act more like a proper pureblood that Julian would have never sacrificed his life for some piece of half-blood tail.
dementor ; His worst memory is the moment when he first saw his brother's dead body. He hasn't been able to get the image of that once so mobile face still and emotionless in death.
patronus ; Xavier's happiest memory is of the first time he taught Julian how to play quidditch when they were both very young. His patronus takes on the form of a coyote, he was at one time pretty good with the charm, but thanks to emotional turmoil and recent events Xavier's patronus has lost a lot of strength and is mostly a formless silver mist.
personality ; There are two very distinct Xavier's. The first Xavier is the Xavier that most of the world sees. He's a cheerful playful young man who seems quite content coasting through life doing little more than enjoying life. He's quick with a joke, but even quicker with a smile. He surrounds himself with people and parties. He is known to be an energetic man who is always doing something. But he can also be fairly laid back and seems to enjoy just sitting and talking to his friends. He is also quite the ladies man while he is not known for sleeping around he is known to be sort of a flirt.He will flirt with just about anything female. Pretty, old, young, ugly, smart, stupid it doesn't matter he'll flirt, but his flirting seems to be more friendly than anything of a sexual nature.
A lot of people see him a fairly harmless like a cute child and don't expect very much of him. Entertaining to be around and always good for a good time, but usually too flighty to really depend on. He was always remarkedly less driven than his younger brother. This would be a comment he'd hear alot. He seems to be a bit of a slacker who's happy to get by on good looks and his father's money. Many people expect little out of his future other than for him to marry a strong pureblood woman who would defintely wear the pants in the relationship.
Underneath all this is the real Xavier. This is a side of him only a very trusted number of people will ever get to see. First and foremost he is a man who has very little faith in humanity. He sees almost the whole world as a gigantic mess that really just isn't worth too much effort. Which explains his mostly slacker attitude. He can enjoy playing games and so such because there's no point in trying to do anything lasting as the world is so screwed up it won't matter. His only real goal in life is to eventually inhereit and runs his father's business. In reality he's not even all that eager to do this, but his loyalty to his family makes it his duty to do so.
He is a man that takes loyalty very seriously. He feels any cause worth any loyalty at all should get the whole kit and kaboodle. You can't half do loyalty. Breaking loyalty is almost unforgiveable, but understandable under certain circumstances. He not too long ago was fairly well along on his way down the path to being a death eater. He has always believed that muggles and muggleborns to be at best second class citizens and believed that subjecating them was the only way to go. However recent developments have made him wonder if any people are really worth allowing to live. While he feels slightly guilty about this he has lost faith in the death eaters and what they believe. Any cause who could approve of the death of someone like Julian is not a cause for Xavier, but it is a confusing matter. He loved his brother, but often thought he was making very poor decisions so a small part of him almost believes he deserved what he got, but the majority of his heart just can't forgive that someone with the same leaning would kill Julian.
He is also a fairly quiet man who'd be fairly happy not say anything at all for days. He likes to keep his thoughts and emotions to himself. He sees absolutely no reason to trust other people with his feelings and thoughts. He can at time be more than a little cocky. He doesn't expect much out of the world so he can get a little full of himself.
the school life[/color]
school attended ; Hogwarts
former house ; Slytherin
favourite subject ; Ancient Runes was without a doubt Xavier's favorite subject. One because being boy who liked to be prepared it was always good to be versed in a magic many people wouldn't expect you to know. And secondly it managed to catch his attention unlike most of his subjects. It didn't hurt that the subject came fairly easily to him. He had to work on memorizing all the runes, but the performing of them was quite a bit easier for him than many of his classmates.
worst subject ; Transfiguration wasn't a particularly difficult subject, but it was one Xavier never really liked. It seemed sorta pointless to learn how to change things when one could simply purchase or obtain the item you want in the first placae without bothering to alter it.
