Xerxes

Xerxes is an NPC and a major character in Wasted Youth and its upcoming sequel. He's described as a goth who often talks of a Goth God he created and named Energor. He's generally disliked by other people, especially Anabelle.
His birth-date is the 19th of March, 1996 and he is 15 years old.
== Personality ==
According to his database entry, Xerxes has a multiple personality disorder and he continually jumps on the bandwagon of various cultural movements. Last year he was a new romantic and now he is a goth. Xerxes often talks in a cryptic and strange manner and is easily angered when people mock him for it. He also believes that all the people in the school are worthy of judgment.
== Map Locations + Dialog ==
Morning - During the morning (AFTER Day 1), Xerxes is at the Bike Sheds, in front of the fenced area with the garbage bins. Interacting with him makes him say: "Have you ever felt alone? Afraid? Misunderstood?". You can actually reply to this with two choices, '"I have..."' or 'Ignore.' however nothing happens no matter which choice you select. This must be a bug, as in the code of the game, Xerxes does respond to you when you pick one of the choices.
Noon - During noon, Xerxes is in front of his locker at the Locker Room. Interacting with him makes him say: "Be warned, there are people who will try to turn you from the righteous path. Do not be afraid. Goth is the one true way!"
Evening - During the evening, Xerxes is in the Laundry Room in front of a washing machine. Interacting with him makes him say: "Being a Goth every day is hard work so I spend my evenings in here... Watching clothes go round and round in a washing machine is very soothing for my spirit."
Midnight - Xerxes' bed is located in the bedroom right in front of yours, at the right side of the door. You cannot interact with him while he is sleeping.
==Notable Events==
Xerxes first appears with a group of other pupils after the player leaves the Assembly Hall on Day 1. When the player asks himself what he has gotten himself into, Xerxes says that all the people in the school are worthy of judgment and tells him to watch himself, lest he deems him worthy of his wrath and walks away.
On Day 2, the player has to meet Xerxes at the end of the Playground above the hopscotch. Xerxes tells you to meet him in front of the Dormitory at midnight. Once that dialog ends a time skip happens and it is now automatically midnight. When you walk up to Xerxes, he'll tell you to break into the Main Building and steal information about the staff members of the school. When the player asks Xerxes why he can't do it himself, he says that he needs to prepare his equipment. Since the doors to the Main Building are locked, the player enters through the open Math Classroom window from the Playground. He then heads up to the second floor and enters the Staff Room at the eastern end of the building which is normally locked during the day. He finds Mr Andrews' login details and uses it on the computer but notices that the staff files are inaccessible and only the headmaster has access to them. Before leaving, he takes the key to the main building from the table, which will allow him to easily enter and leave the Main Building during the night through the doors instead of going back to the window.
Once the player returns to Xerxes, who seems to be doing something with the panel on the wall, he informs him that the staff files are inaccessible, which prompts him to call the player useless and he proceeds to rant about how he must unleash his wrath on the school by himself. At that moment, Mr Macdougal, the Groundskeeper appears and asks the player and Xerxes what they're doing out there. Xerxes panics and runs off while the player heads back to his bed. After that, Xerxes is never seen again. His fate is currently unknown.
== Trivia ==
* After getting all 60 achievements, a video will be unlocked at the school computers, the program simply named "Bonus Cutscene". The video shows footage of Xerxes running away after Mr Macdougal catches him and the player outside the Dormitory late at night. He runs off to the Playground and he's later seen there once again, conducting a strange goth ritual and sticking a needle into what looks like a voodoo doll. This may or may not imply that Xerxes is the one behind the disappearances at the school. The note he wrote that the player found earlier in the game can also prove this.
* Xerxes is the second only character with dyed hair in the game next to Terence.
* Xerxes is ranked №.3 on the unofficial Wasted Youth popularity poll, with 10 votes.
* He has gone through a punk phase before as indicated by his student record. He wore rusty piercings and got some sort of decease for a short time, likely tetanus.
* Xerxes has a diary, however, it will only be available to read in Part 2.
* He has a cat named Bathsheba.
