Name:Xander Jianmin - Same last name as his adopted
brotherNickname: N/A yet.
Gender/Pronoun: He/Him
Age:20
Birthday:October 16
Sign: Libra
Gemstone: Opal
Blood Type: AB-
Fav. Food: (Optional)A really good spicy curry, but also for fun, any spicy challenge just to see how well he takes it. Also...spicy veggie straws, if you gotta eat veggies they might as well be GOOD>
Hated Food: Boiled Peanuts, have you smelled those things cooking? Also...it's basically a salty refried bean! Gross, those only belong in nachos or burritos
School/Occupation: DCU - does work part time for the ‘Family’ law firm as a file clerk.
Hobbies:Flute: it’s not a hobby his family was, especially enthusiastic about, especially in the early days when he started out thinking maybe a Recorder would be up his alley. But music is something he absolutely loves, Obo was deemed too expensive and after an ‘incident’ with someone at school trying to use their flute as a Wand for a ‘Witches and Wizard’ event, he managed to get his current flute as a sort of ‘resale’. He’s gotten much better with time, thanks to the patience of his adoptive family and...even more to having an outdoor space to practice. Just don’t make any ‘band camp’ jokes please
Woodwork - His ultimate goal is to one day have a space and place to build miniature houses, ultimately he’d love to have a sort of ‘commune’ where he and his friends will somehow agree to live in tiny houses on a few acres of land. Right now he’s good to talk to about building things for a dorm room or a corner of your house rather than building anything as grand as a house, but he has goals! He helped fix up the shed where he does most of his practice on the flute.
Hiking: When he needs alone time - his method is to go for a hike. The further he can get from people while going at his own pace the better. He remembers it as something his parents used to do too. He’ll go so far as to camp when he has the down time for it, but has a harder time talking other people into doing that with him which he finds very sad.
Virtues:Friendly -- Even if you don’t like him, he probably likes you. If you look remotely like you are having a bad day, he’ll probably be trying to think of something to do to cheer you up. Smiles are something he’s always looking to share with the world, and even better if he can put a smile on your own face. This can include some very eccentric antics on his own part for better or worse, but as long as he gets a smile!
Self Sufficient --As the one frequently reminded by his ‘Mother’ that he is the ‘adopted child’, Xander has learned to be very self sufficient. He can handle cooking simple things in the kitchen. He's been raised in small ways to pick up the pieces and make sure that things get done. Get the garbage out, put the leftovers away, help fix that faucet. Saving money and time for the family, including helping play file clerk once he was old enough to be trusted to put away papers at the firm. Laundry? No problem, though he absolutely cuts corners by trying to keep most of his wardrobe dark.
Flaws: Self Destructive -- For a variety of reasons, he doesn't see himself as having much value. His role in life is to fill in the spaces for others to succeed, if he himself is, well that’s more by accident than design. If he gets hurt helping someone else? That’s fine, as long as they turn out ok. If he goes hungry because he gave away his lunch? That’s fine too because it's ok if HE goes hungry.
Rigid --Once he’s made up his mind on something, it’s very hard to change it. He’ll put his feet down no matter what he’s up against so long as he believes he’s doing the right thing. This has led to more than a few arguments with his family, and gotten him hurt in more than a few fistfights to boot, many of which he’s even started because he was being too pig headed to stop and think.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Eyes: upturned eyes give him a very friendly look at all times, His eyes are a pale blue grey in color
Hair: Black - long but for the most part held back for practical reasons. Kept long in tribute of his Younger adoptive sister’s love of practicing braids in the hair of both her older brothers. Fairly adaptive to whatever the artist would like to do if they enjoy hair styles as long as it’s not excessive.
Face: Oval face, a sort of youthful set to his cheeks that just lend him a very cheerful look as a neutral expression.
Skin Tone: Soft, lightly tanned more warm hued than not but fairly pale overall.
Body Type: A small dorito of sorts? Broad shoulders and a slender waist, tall and just starting to lose the last of his awkward years of growing into that said same height.
Clothes: Button Downs to do the family proud, but normally over some kind of t-shirt, hidden designs to be shown off when he’s away from home. Prefers to roll his sleeves up. Likes dark colors, especially charcoals and blacks for his down time but also enjoys splashes of color. He’s absolutely convinced that red and purple can be a great color mix too. That skulls are the coolest thing you can accessorize with, and that dress shoes are secretly tools of unspeakable torture.
Would absolutely love to just wear things like band shirts and loved-to-death bluejeans with converse.
