## Xiao

### Origin

Born with the ability to manipulate "The Hyperlane," not realized until adulthood

  – **Xiao** commenting on how he is **Fire Lord Zuko'**s doppelganger.

**Xiao** is a major protagonist in the **Lover's Stadium series**. The best friend of **Milo** and **Raymond**, Xiao was an ordinary artist and fellow college classmate of Milo's until they both gained abilities on Milo's twenty-second birthday. While he took time to master his powers, Xiao still helped Milo and Raymond fight several threats and even earned an arch-nemesis of his own, **Mysterion**, a sentient computer AI accidentally created by Dexter.

## **Appearance**

Xiao is a handsome young man, standing around six feet and weighing 155.

Of Asian (specifically Chinese) and white descent, Xiao is mixed but resembles more of his mother than his father.He has brown eyes with shaggy jet-black hair, sometimes known as raven-colored hair. An easy identifier for Xiao is the birthmark that covers his left eye.

With Xiao, his outfit choice was standard and consistent throughout the first two seasons of Lover's Stadium. He was seen wearing a red bomber jacket with a white shirt and black pants. However, there were a few exceptions, such as Chinese holidays, where he would wear traditional cultural outfits.

However, Xiao's outfit would change to that of consistently older Chinese cultural garbs and designs during and post-Trilogy. It was in response to Xiao realizing that he would be fighting more and needed to be flexible and comfortable. These reasons led to Xiao's aunt sending him garbs that his ancestor Youxias wore during ancient China. These typically ranged from gold, red, and black colors to an all-black body suit with a Kabuki mask.

## **Personality**

Xiao has been described as the "comedic relief" of the Necro Crew. Unintentionally, Xiao will unknowingly do comedic things such as show up late to high-tension moments or point out things already apparent to everyone else in the room. These funny interactions are tied to his ADHD, which is more severe than **Milo'**s. Xiao will openly and often mentally check out situations and miss essential moments explaining what happens around him.

This was shown when Dexter explained **Mysterion**, but he checked out at the wrong time. It wasn't until the end of the episode that Xiao realized that Mysterion was an AI because he thought it was a robot that Dexter created, which made Milo die of laughter. However, after Trilogy, Xiao began to take meds for his ADHD and has since improved but still does check out of conversations as he will multi-task now that he has an attention span.

Xiao is very down to Earth, which, much like his best friend Milo, betrays his fantastical abilities and incredible art. This is why he and Milo get along so well, as Xiao would much rather play video games at home, but due to his abilities, he, much like all of his peers, has become danger magnets. Unlike Milo, who wants to be normal, Xiao adores his skills, loves being a hero, and wishes to know more.

Beyond his ADHD and love of his abilities, Xiao is the greatest friend to have. He has consistently been the first to show up or help whenever his friends are in trouble. He is intensely loyal, almost to a fault, and will follow his friends to the ends of the Earth if they need help.

### **The Hyperlane | The Technomage**

Xiao's connection to The Hyperlane is more fascinating than most other users. As Jonathan West utilized psionics because of his manipulative personality and Milo uses fighting moves from arcade games and can summon weapons from his favorite franchises, Xiao's developed differently. According to **Milo'**s nerdom and **Sapphire'**s medical expertise, the scientific term for Xiao is technopath. However, as time went on, this term gradually changed as Xiao began to exhibit abilities far exceeding conventional technopaths. This all came to a head during The Combat Festival, where Gandolf The White dubbed Xiao "The Technomage," which is a more apt description of what Xiao can do.

Xiao has shown the ability to control all technology, even highly advanced tech such as **Necro Milo'**s DeLorian and Milo's hoverboard. For all intended purposes, The Hyperlane turned Xiao into a pseudo-bio-mechanic computer, allowing him to hack objects with his mind and altogether bypass entire system functions. He has used his mind as a hard drive to retrieve data en masse easily. However, when he began to utilize his techno-magic for combat, this was when Xiao truly shined.

Xiao has shown the capability to use spare technology to generate weapons or even high-tech explosives without needing to touch anything physically. If Xiao thinks of something with the intention of using it and has the technology surrounding him, his body will instinctively create it. He can erect metaphysical data force fields that block attacks and develop nanites that resemble and simulate actual fire and can burn individuals. More recently, Xiao learned to augment the existing technology to suit his or other's needs. This occurred when he evolved Milo's hoverboard to move faster than its base speed, resulting in an installed boost function.

Another notable ability that Xiao can utilize is what **Sarah** called "Sequencing." As Xiao has become a functioning bio-computer, his body now works in commands, allowing him to sequence repeated functions with his mind that his body will carry out. This resulted in a stacking feature that allowed Xiao to mentally plan out his next five moves without needing to set it up physically. Enter the teleportation feature, which has Xiao assimilate with technology briefly to teleport all around an area until either Xiao stops the sequence or the technology melts due to the speed at which he is teleporting. This has led to using this ability as a combo creator, which he got the idea of from Milo.
