Majoring in medical so he can become a Doctor.

Hobbies:
~ Plays the violin He took up playing the violin when he was a child after reading a few Sherlock Holmes novels. He has gotten to the point in his playing that he some times makes his own melodies and they come out sounding beautiful.

~ Reading He has every Sherlock Holmes novel ever made and regularly reads them over and over even though he has them memorized by heart. He also has many other mystery books, medical book and hidden in his room he has a collection of manga.

~ Going fast Xander loves to go fast and tries to do a lot of things that let him feel the wind in his hair and everything speeds by. He normally goes roller blading but will also go running, ride a bike etc. and can regularly be found speeding down side walks, skate parks, regular parks, any where he is aloud to skate, bike or run pretty much. He sometimes likes to put on a scarf and have part of it trail behind him though much to the amusement of his family and friends.

~ Writing He loves to write short stories in note books he keeps on hand almost all the time. He has never let anyone read them though so he doesn't honestly know if they are good or not. And of course he plans on never telling that most of his stories are fanfiction...


Virtues:
~ Quick to help Xander believes in helping those who are in need with almost no exceptions. If he sees someone hurt, sad etc. then he will be one of the first people there trying to help them in anyway he can. Even if it isn't something big he is happy to help out, whether it is something like just needing a hand up, or even if you need some one to hold your shopping bags for hours. One of the reasons hangs out at the library is to help tutor those who need it in school and he does so regularly every Tuesday evening. When he sets out to help some one he will go quite far to achieve the goal. He has been known run errands for one of his sisters which can have him going from one side of the city to the other with only roller blades to help get him to the destination.

A few of the exceptions are if he knows from the start that they are doing something illegal in anyway and/or if what ever it is will harm someone in some way. He does not take kindly to being taken advantage of for his help if he finds that his help led him to go against his morals and can hold a grudge against the person/persons until they apologize and mean it.

~ Determined He believes in sticking to what you start with almost no exceptions. If he is given a problem to solve or a project to be completed he will work almost non stop until they are finished. There have been many times where he worked through the night trying to complete a project of some time even when it doesn't have to been done right away. One of the exceptions is that if the project has no real meaning whether for school or some other personal reason, if he gets bored with it he will easily drop it and rarely does he pick those time of projects back up. Another exception would be if the problem/project would interfere with some one else's health in some way; like if working until the project if completed will make him late to take some one to the doctors he will put the project onto the back burner until he has the time to complete it.

This has effected his health at times. The many times he has worked through the night has now made it harder for him to sleep with out being exhausted first.

~ Brilliant He was called a genius when he was little because of how smart he is. He doesn't usually make a big show of his intelligence on purpose but sometimes he gets excited about something and goes on a long one sided discussion about it. He does still study quite a bit to keep adding to his knowledge so he claims he studies for school just as much as other people.

He was teased about his intelligence when he was little. This caused him to get into the habit of trying to hide just how smart he is from everyone but family, close friends and teachers. Of course his one sided discussions tend to give him away on that.


Flaws:
~ Boredom One of his problems is he can not just laze around doing nothing. He gets bored and has to do something whether it is read a book, something hands on, anything so long as he is doing something that occupies his mind and/or body. This regularly causes him to have insomnia. Fortunately the lack of sleep doesn't slow him down when he wakes up around 7am to 8am ready to find something to do to ease the already creeping feeling of boredom. The only time you see him laying down and seemingly doing nothing is when he is thinking too deeply to do anything else at the same time.

~ Adrenalin junkie For all that he can be careful, he also tends to jump into danger some times with out a thought to his safety. It never is fights he gets into, it is just little things like sneaking out when he shouldn't, he regularly roller blades down the hall ways of his apartment building even when he isn't supposed to. But he has been planing lately to go sky diving...

This has gotten him into trouble many times, whether it is with his family, friends or random people on the street. But instead of hindering him, all the times he got into trouble just made him plan things better so he wont get caught.

~ Too curious for his own good You would think that with as many Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple books as he has read he would know better then to follow just anything that catches his attention right? Not the case with Xander. If something falls under 'curious', 'mystery', or 'interesting' then he is fully happy to poke and prod as it until he learns just what the situation or person is all about. This gets him into more trouble then anything he does when he's off going fast, though it's not to saw the two traits haven't come into contact.

Hi Natsuko congrats on Holmes!

Before I can toss him a stamp, there's a few things I'd like to take a look at to see if we can't get him ready!

So first off, his Brilliant virtue isn't actually a trait, this is just talking about how intelligent he is and is almost overall negative, even though it's not a flaw either. I feel like this would be better replaced with something else. Maybe something along the lines of 'Smart', 'Intelligent' or something related, and dealing with the fact he likes to use his knowledge to tutor people.

Also, for his Determined virtue; this one is over shadowed as a virtue by the negatives in this trait as well to the point it's actually cancels itself out between the negatives and his boredom flaw. The problem with this is the fact it reads as if it doesn't benefit Alexander, he gets bored of it or loses interest. Which ends up basically being a flaw in of itself as being self-centered.

Now then, for his senshi side. So there's an issue here, right now they read a lot like Baton Rouge's attacks (Her journal). So with the sphere of deduction, it'll had to be different enough to not step on sleuthing's toes.
