## Summary

Xavier is a swordsman that wants nothing more than to fight and then have some tea with the person he just destroyed. He uses a sword called the *Lupinspathis* and uses it along with his skills to win any fight he initiates. Xavier is a simple person, living a simple life in the Nightfall verse. Unfortunately for Ebony and Ivory, he often breaks reality with his skills, leaving both of them questioning why he was even given them in the first place. He still spars with Jupiter, as he did in Verse: Alpha, but they both usually end up passed out from their exertion in a few years. He was the first thing in existence, even before time and space itself. The world is nothing more than a fun pastime, and he's determined to enjoy it. Xavier can't deny that he still misses his old home, but he thinks that trading a house for an arsenal of reality warping skills was a fair trade.

## History

Xavier originated from Verse:Alpha, being the first being to inhabit it and existing before the EgoVerse structure was created. He found his signature sword, the Lupinspathis, in the ruins of a nameless temple. Once he was accepted as a host by the spirit residing in the blade, the two became inseparable. Over the years, more people began to populate the world, sometimes seeming to be generated out of thin air.

When Verse:Alpha became completely deserted and he was alone once again, he asked Ego Ultima to enter the Nightfall verse, to which he was challenged to a duel against an avatar: the God of the new world versus the last bastion of the old. Xavier died and revived thousands of times in the battle, but he eventually figured out that — although the avatar of Ego Ultima regenerated from sharp attacks — it was weak to blunt force. Using this information, he crushed the avatar, unlocking his first [SKILL]: the Shattering Sheath. After defeating the avatar, Ego Ultima was so impressed, he bestowed upon Xavier his infinite collection of sword abilities as a reward. He then proceeded to...immediately kill Xavier again, reincarnating him into the Nightfall verse.

Once he came to exist in Nightfall, he sought out the others who existed in Verse:Alpha. The Five Kings' War was about to begin, and he followed it around, battling wherever he could and dazzling the others with his godlike displays of power. Apparently, the rest of them had gotten skills as well when they joined, but none were nearly as powerful as his. It became common for him to enter battles, fight anyone he could, and escape unscathed. At the end of the war however, Ebony and Ivory themselves erased skills from Nightfall. Their holders would still have the abilities, but they would dissipate into nothing when used. Resigned, Xavier became something of a recluse. He discovered from the war that he could not die. Even when he was stabbed, shot, combusted, or deleted, he would always come back, like something was tethering him to the Earth, This was the force of Mirrored Reincarnation, the law of reality that bound all beings blessed by Ultima to life, and the force that would later keep Hazel from dying. Knowing his immortality, he became reckless, engaging in all manner of random activity to entertain himself. During the events of the Liberation, Xavier exited the Nightfall verse and became capable of traveling between them. In the EgoVerse, he became free to do whatever he wished, and he continues to do that until the events of Genre Switch.

In Genre Switch, Xavier was allowed to borrow Red's Author Tome and used it to give himself abilities far beyond what he had ever experienced before, putting himself even above Ego Ultima. He gained the ability to travel through layers and interact with them in ways that were not possible for a fictional entity such as himself. Once Saku found out about Xavier's doings, he took away the book and wrote in a new sentence that reset Xavier's stats to what they were prior.

*Note: Feel free to discount Genre Switch, as it was not a completely serious story. Although it is canon, it is a canon separate from the EgoVerse.*

## Personality

Xavier is a very relaxed and bored person due to his abilities. He has no worries or concerns, and so he does progressively more insane things to entertain himself. He fights people for no reason other than to test himself, makes trouble for gods and Ultima Entities alike, and is a general nuisance to everyone around him. Xavier is, however, a genuinely nice person at heart who does try to help people when he can.

In Verse: Alpha, Xavier was something of a recluse. He did interact with others, but only on the basis of necessity. When Verse:Alpha began to lose inhabitants, he became more open as he respected those who hadn't left like the others. He became very lonely and contemplative once he was the only person left, and his nature caused him to eventually regret his pointless attachment to Alpha and join Nightfall.

In Nightfall and during Genre Switch, Xavier became more excitable and childlike, using his power for anything he pleased. He also became very lazy because "when you can do everything, why do anything?"

## Appearance

Xavier is a dark-skinned male with black hair. He wears a blue hoodie and shorts. Occasionally, he also wears a blue scarf and a gold locket similar to Hazel's, but this is only in his EgoVerse appearances. Xavier's hair seems to be perpetually blowing in the wind, even when there is no wind to blow. He often glows with varying color when using his abilities. His eye color is unknown, but they flash red and blue when a negative or skill is active respectively. His eyes are often hid by a shadow or his hair, although he can (somehow) still see. He is over 500 years old, being immortal due to Mirrored Reincarnation. Also because of this, he does not appear to age, staying in his young adult form.

## Additional Information (Optional)

**Fighting Style:** Just like in a video game, Xavier uses skill combos excessively, making use of his infinite stamina to end battles as quickly as possible if he's taking the fight seriously. In most cases, he doesn't use the majority of his skills at all unless his opponent displays significant power.

**Techniques**:

**[Cosmic Skill: Starlight's End]** - Xavier summons a full-size star, then cuts it in half, causing a massive supernova.

**[Absolute Negative: Causality Splice]** - Xavier cuts through causality, separating an action's cause from its effect, making it useless. Xavier used this to remove Jupiter's star blast, making the effect (destruction) separate from the cause (the star). The star then dissipated upon contact with Xavier.

**[Absolute Negative: All Mine]** - Xavier chooses any part of his stats, which will immediately reach the maximum value for the EgoVerse.

**[4th Wall Negative: Split Screen]** - Xavier slices the screen into fragments, which he can rearrange and return to normal. This has the effect of changing the structure of space in the affected area.

**[Archon Skill: Nigh-Omniarch]** - Xavier ascends one dimension higher. This is used to increase his movement and confuse opponents by moving in a direction that is invisible to other people.

**[Cheater Skill: What Cooldown?]** - Xavier removes his own cooldowns and gains the ability to chain skills.

**[Cheater Negative: Useless]** - Xavier can make a specified ability or resistance useless. He used this to remove Sacrilege's Ultima Purpose and make him mortal.

**[Animator Skill: Freeze Frame]** - Xavier pauses time. Characters with high levels of transcendence such as gods are immune to it. Nothing can be affected or moved during Xavier's skill besides things that are directly touching him.

**[Sound Negative: Deafening Echo]** - Xavier can copy a skill. The copied version will be slightly less effective than the original and only attacks can be copied (e.g. things such as transduality or physiologies are off-limits).

*Note: Not all of Xavier's Skills and Negatives are listed here, as he technically has an infinite amount, but these are some of the most important.*

## Trivia

He actually hates tea, but he thinks drinking it makes him look cool.

This character wasn't originally all too powerful, but I decided to give him an upgrade when he reached his Nightfall form so that he could keep up with all of the Gods and Demons running around.

This is my first OC and the first artifact wielder created for Nightfall.
