Personality Xavier is never at a doubt as to his purpose and the cold comfort of things being either right or wrong. He is not one for shades of grey. He is spartan and unselfish but can also be merciless to those that he feels are not virtuous. He is very comfortable in the outdoors and enjoys company in the way that only those who have spent long periods of time alone really can. He is somewhat awkward around strong opinionated women. He is sexually repressed by a vow of celibacy, though he has been unable to stay truly faithful to that vow but he does try. OnsOffs Xavier is a vanilla sex kind of guy at least by his own reckoning. However there is more to him than meets the eye. Hard Limits for me as a writerMxM, bathroom play, dismemberment and vore, probably some others but not really mainstream. Capacities Skills Xavier is highly skilled in martial combat especially with large swords, crossbows, and a lance from horseback. A skilled outdoorsman he can easily set up camp, hunt game, cook and clean for himself and a small group. He has good practical sense but relatively little book learning other than some theology and philosophy. He has an appreciation for art and poetry but a talent for neither. Supernatural abilities In non-combat situations he can call upon the power of his Deity to heal minor injuries, though it is physically and emotionally exhausting. He cannot heal evil creatures. As his eldritch nature continues to develop he has some unconscious ability to reach into the dream state of those near him, these may provide glimpses of what he is to become. Alternate forms Not Yet Discovered Story To his knowledge, Xavier was an orphan whose parents were killed in a flood. He was raised by a retired knight and his lady who were otherwise childless. In reality, the knight had found the child after helping to destroy a cult dedicated to the 'old gods'. An unspeakable evil that the Order of the Silver Flame had strove to eradicate from the earth. Xavier was the product of a coupling during an unholy ceremony and the knight was supposed to drown the child in a nearby river. The man couldn't bring himself to do such a heinous act even if it was meant for a good cause. Instead he raised the boy as his own, training him from a young age to become a knight of the Order. Hoping the rigorous training and holy disciplines would keep any evil in him at bay. Xavier was accepted as a knight with great skill, but there always seemed to be something just a bit off with him. Also unexplained bad things tended to happen around him and though no one could ever implicate him in any attacks or disappearances, they seemed to take place when he was around. Consequently he was often sent out on solitary quests, and often not trusted by the other knights of the Order. He was kept on the roster however out of respect for his adoptive father. Today he finds himself something of a free agent, sent to do what good he could in the world. Picture Reference
