Xandir's Profile Name: Xandir A. Delaney Age: 28 years Gender: Male Sexuality: I find neither more pleasing than the other. Species: Homosapien of the living variety. Any Children?: I have not lain with a woman, and thus my answer would be ‘no’ About Me: Truthfully, the only reason I am bothering to fill this out is out of a vague boredom. I am generally unused to filling out any sort of form but let us see what I can manage to put down about myself. My name is Xandir, as I have previously stated, and I am the reigning Abhorsen of the last ten years (Though I am aware most in this world have never heard of this and thus I will say I am a Charter Necromancer, though I despise the word). I am not very skilled in the Charter, but that is of my own doing and I have found myself flat on my a** several times due to my inefficiency. My work tends to take me many different places, though this Gaia is far removed from what I am used to and I find myself a bit lost. Did you know there are people with blue skin around here? It’s very peculiar, and I find myself longing to study them. However, my business here in Gaia is not able to be disclosed. My apologies. I have a very small family, and tend to enjoy them whenever I have the extra time to do so, which I admit is not often enough for my liking. I also have a bird named Astir who is a creature of Free Magic and does not like many people. She provides me with amusement. Hobbies: Astronomy is one of my favorite things, and I find it very interesting. Swordsmanship. Music of the instrumental variety. Bird watching. Talents: Sword, Bells, Pan Pipes. I can play the flute very well. I kill things with efficiency. I’m very good at my job. Looking For: I am looking for many things, though I am assuming this form means romantically. I am, honestly, not looking for a romantic interlude of any kind. Again, this is being filled out for simple amusement. Other Never comment on my lack of skill with the Charter.

Reason, meaning or purpose behind the name: None. His parents just LIKE the name. He's boring.

Race: Human
Occupation/class: Abhorsen (Charter Necromancer; Lays dead to rest)
Social class: Respected?
Pets: A very unfriendly raven sending infused with free-magic named Astir who likes to randomly peck people.
Sexuality: We don't know. We're not even sure he has a p***s. *Bricked* WHAT? YOU NEVER SHOWED INTEREST BEFORE
Physical Appearances
Age: 28
How old they appear: Around how old he actually is
Eye Color: dark brown
Glasses or contacts?: Nope!
Hair color length and style: Straight, shoulder length, bleach-blond almost white.
Weight and height: 6'1'' and 175lbs
Type of body (build): Fighter build, lightly muscled – not stocky.
Skin tone and type (i.e., hairy, slimy, scaly, oily, fair, burns easily): Medium-Caucasian
Shape and Features of Face: Strong, definitely male - nothing girly about him at all. Sharp angles, lightly rounded chin.
Distinguishing marks (dimples, moles, scars, birthmarks, etc.): A rather nasty burn mark across his shoulder from a too-close encounter with a Mordicant. Various faint scars along his arms and chest varying in size. Charter mark on his forehead.
Predominant feature: Charter mark
Is s/he healthy?: Pretty much
If not, why not?: The only thing he has wrong with him is Asthma, as far as we know. And a mild distaste of being touched – but hey, that's not necessarily unhealthy.
Do they look healthy? Why/why not?: Oui – nothing wrong with him here.
Exercise Routine: 2 hours of sword training a day.
Background
Hometown: Ancelstierre? Originally he was born in the Old Kingdom.
Type of childhood: Strange
Most important child hood event that still effects him/her: Walking in Death for the first time with his mother.
Why?: It was the first time he knew that he was truly meant to do what he had to do for the rest of his life.
Education: Early years he was taught by his father, and got very close. He was sent to college in Ancelstierre when he was 15 years old.
Religion: Charter?
Finances: Well, fairly well off in the Old Kingdom. In Gaia? Not a whole lot of cash. No job.
Family
Mother: Chandra Delaney - Deceased
Relationship with her: He would like to say he was close to his mother, but truthfully, he rarely really saw her. She'd teach him what he needed to know and talk to him quietly every now and then, but really, most of the time Chandra was out doing her Abhorsen thing.
Father: August Delaney - Deceased
Relationship with him: VERY close. August stayed with him when he was younger and was his teacher. He was a strong figure in his life, visiting him twice a month even after going to college. He died traveling with his mother.
Siblings, How many, relationship with each: Cecila – Cecil, being the older, technically should have been the Abhorsen. She and Xandir never quite got along.
Children of siblings: None
Other extended family: Aunt Marguette, Uncle Antony, and little cousins (twins) Lierella and Laya
Close? Why or why not: Yes. Marguette is more like his mother than Chandra was. She's his mother's sister and lived with them until she met her husband Antony. His little cousins are the lights of his life. It's not very often you can coax a genuine happy smile from the man – his burden is deep. But those little kids? Easy.

Favorite Music: Instrumental. Voices get on his nerves after a while.
Favorite Books: He doesn't often read.
Favorite Foods: Okay, okay, he has a weakness for peanut butter
Favorite Drinks: Water

Favorite Color: Green
Favorite Clothing: ...Whatever suits the weather that day?
Favorite Jewelry: Does his bandolier count?
Favorite Games: Stab the Dead People With Pointy Sword?
Expressions: "Well isn't that about as cheerful as a flaming Mordicant on speed?"

Mode of transport: …Walking
Hobbies: Xandir actually really enjoys astronomy.
Personality

Habits: Over-thinking things
Drinks: Brandy
How much: Rarely
Greatest Strength: His ability to think quickly when something surprises him
Greatest Weakness: His inability to do more than simple or basic charter spells.
Is their soft spot obvious, why/why not: It's only obvious if you've watched him try to do a bigger spell. Then it's just funny.
Biggest Vulnerability: His bells or pipes. If he doesn't have either, he becomes fairly paranoid. Of course, if he has his sword it won't necessarily be as bad.
Fears: The greater dead, the dark (goes hand in hand with the dead), mordicants. HATES Mordicants. With a passion.
Attitude
Most at ease when: Near water, near people he knows, in day light.
Most ill at ease when: a storm is coming
Philosophies: Dead deserve to remain dead. It is the kindest thing to do.
How they feel about themselves: Xandir's a little indifferent. He doesn't like his weakness with magic, but he doesn't necessarily like his skill with which he can kill, either. Never mind the fact that the dead are already dead, he sometimes wishes that he didn't have to have that burden.
Past failure they would be embarrassed to admit: The first time he walked in death, Xandir lost his footing in the river and was swept past the second gate. His mother had to retrieve him.
Why?: He failed in front of his mother.
If granted one wish what would it be, why?: To let someone else take the burden of his profession from him. But it's impossible – he's who he is because of what he does.

Optimist or pessimist? Why?: Realist
Introvert or extrovert? Why?: Introvert
Drives and motives: To do his family's memory proud.
Talents: Sword, Bells, Pipe. He can also play the flute fairly well.

Good characteristics: He's diligent and will always finish what he starts.
Character flaws: He's…a martyr. And it's going to get him killed one of these days. He also has issues with people. He's not easy to get close to. He has a sharp tongue, at times. He's socially stupid. There's a lot.
Mannerisms: Calm, Polite (Most of the time)
Biggest regret: Not being a better student when it came to the charter
Minor regrets: Not being able to be there for his little cousins' birthday party
Biggest accomplishment: Binding one of the greater dead behind the ninth gate.
Minor accomplishments: Too many to name
Important Experiences or Events: Finishing the Book of the Dead, Mother passing on and passing the sword and bells, father dying, first walk in death, defeating a mordicant for the first time, laying his first dead to rest...Uh...A lot of things O_o

What four things would they most like to change about themselves: Profession, Weight, Nose, Inadequecy in charter
If they were changed would they be the same person, why/why not: Well, weight and nose? Yes. Profession and lack of charter skills? Probably not. It's shaped him.

How do they relate to others: He doesn't.
How are they perceived by strangers: Distant
Friends: Uh...Astir?
Wife/husband/lover: Ahahahahaha. Hahahaha. Ha.

How they react to new problems: "Oh holy crap. What am I going to do NOW? Oh. Okay. CHARGE"
How they react to change: Not very well.
General
Favorite clothing, why: His black and gold tunic
Least favorite, why: The purple one that his well meaning, if fashion-challenge aunt purchased for him. It has a bloody FLOWER on it.
Jewelry: His bandolier count?
Other accessories: Sword.
