Looks Description:
Xavier is a rather fit person. His body is tone and lean. Over the years from his training in the shinobi arts he has acquired the physique that he has today. Most women find him very handsome, despite the many scars to be found on his face, and over the rest of his body. His eyes are almond shaped and are brown for the most part with a red tint. Xavier is a pliable person, being able to place his foot behind is head with ease among the other things he is able to do with this, "gift". It tends to work wonders when he is in the midst of combat because it allows him to use his body more freely thus providing him with extensive mobility. Through persistence with the art of body techniques he has molded his bones to be denser than that of an average person. This wasn't such an easy thing for him to do. He starter from an early age with his practice of hitting tough objects to strengthen his own bones. Xavier began this around the time he started out with taijutsu. It was something taught to him by his parents.
When he was younger his hair was spiky and buzz cut on the sides. It is also adorned with feathers and an animal tail at the nape of his neck, that came over his left shoulder to rest in the front. In recent times, Xavier's hair has grown out and is no longer severely spiked. He has removed the animal tail, and his hair is instead adorned with fewer feathers and beads. He also wears a jacket on his shoulders, much like a cape. He matches it with a white dress shirt, black pants, and a loosely knotted tie, along with black boots, also having a tattoo on his left shoulder. He also has tattooed a black Roman numeral X on both his shoulders, his boots laced-up, and sometimes he occasionally wears boots with exaggerated fold-over cuffs, similar to pirate boots. That, however is his more casual wear.
To very little surprise, Xavier can almost always be found wearing a mask. It is very rare for him to take the mask off. The times when he does take it off is around people in the village. But, even then the people whom he'd take the mask off around he would know and trust. His identity isn't known to most people because of him wearing the mask, however it is possible to know of him because of one thing, which are the feathers that often protrude from inside the mask for people to see. Of course, if someone doesn't already know him then the group of feathers won't mean much, but those who do know him well more than likely remember him because of those feather. Xavier's less casual wear is somewhat different than the other stuff that he could be found in. Along with his mask that's usually on, he still wears a jacket around his shoulders, but with this he can also be found in a Jounin vest, under it a long sleeve white t-shirt, typical shinobi footwear, and black pants.
Personality Description:
Xavier is an individual who is marked by modesty in his behavior, attitude, and spirit. It's shown in the way he goes about things. To him, there's no reason for him to think he is better than any other person. In general, Xavier attempts to treat most individuals he meets the same, however he isn't oblivious to the fact that some people don't deserve to be treated in such a way as some do. His view of the world is rather peculiar compared to that of others. He doesn't brag about things that he has done in the past. If he knows that he has done something, regardless of what others think, that is all that matters to him. The need that most have to prove themselves to someone else isn't evident in Xavier. Most if not everything he does, is for himself; not in the sense of being a selfish person as he is far from that, but more in the form of individuality, and being independent.
Although he doesn't anyone who he really considers his friend Xavier has developed exceptionally well social capabilities. He has a certain way with words, his ability to comprehend, and communicate with others is predominantly proficient for him not to speak much. Anyone who is or becomes his friend are usually a person that he feels he could trust with his life. The term, "friend" is used way too loosely in his opinion. His belief is that trust is not something that shouldn't be given out so easily, but something that people should work for, and is not something that people always deserve, no matter how kind, or friendly they may seem. Furthermore, he holds unyielding allegiance to his values, morals, and boundaries. They are never to be broken unless in the most dire circumstances. This is honorable, yet stubborn of him, but this is something that he feels strongly about which is rather ironic.
Silent and observant; two terms that define Xavier to the core, but not because he doesn't have anything to say, but rather he knows that it's possible to learn much more from others when he listens, and pay attention to people along with their surroundings. His understanding of the way the world works and the human mind is quite impressive for him to be the age he is. By essence, Xavier is phlegmatic, and aloof. His emotions do not typically run rampant with the amount of self-control he has. Rarely anything ever really disturbs him. He's able to keep a serene head most if not, all of the time. Xavier is far beyond his years in the sense of discipline, knowledge and maturity. He's a rather swift learner, being able to pick something up after being taught it just once. How he does this is a mystery to most, but it has to do with his keen perception, and his photographic memory that very few people know about.

History:
Birth
Xavier was born in the Kiri hospital on a rainy day in Kirigakure. When he was born his mother said, "He's a thing of beauty, our beautiful baby boy". His father stood up as he watched over them crying for joy as he asked "Can I hold him"? His mother, Jade then replied "Of course dear" as she started to tear up also. Xavier was named after his great-grandfather, Xan. Xavier's father, James was a well renowned ninja in Kiri before Xavier's arrival. He was a known for his abilities to utilizes weapons in a way that put fear into other ninja across the land along with being a master of ninjutsu. Jade on the other hand was a master of taijutsu and she was also known for her rare ability to sense others chakra. His parents were both known as some of the most skilled ninjas in the village, and both came from a clan known as the, "Toruna". There wasn't much special about the clan as they had no Kekkei Genkai. They were known somewhat, however because of the skilled ninja they produced. Xavier's Father was a Jounin and his Mother a member of Kiri's ANBU. His dad married his mother at the age of twenty-five. Jade, was twenty-six. They had Xavier one year after they got married. James and Jade came from different parts of the clan. They're two different families within the clan, each coming from a different founder of Toruna.After Xavier was born, Jade had to put being a ANBU on hold because someone had to take care of their son ,and thus resigned from the group. At a young age his Mother and Father started teaching him the simple things that he needed to live. When he was younger Xavier loved to read and enjoyed learning new things. Although his father was always away on missions, Xavier and him were very close. He always thought it was cool that his Father and Mother were shinobi. Because he was so young he didn't exactly know what it meant to be a ninja yet, but when he would grow up to become one he would learn that piece of information.
As Xavier got older his father and mother taught him basic fighting techniques. By this time, Xavier was a very enthusiastic and dedicated young man. His mother taught him basic taijutsu skills. Xavier's father taught him how to control his chakra. They told him he would learn so much more when he went on to enroll in the academy. Along with that, he was also told by them that he would some day grow up to be as strong, or maybe even stronger than them. Xavier was very determined to learn more and couldn't wait until upcoming year, which was when he was going to be getting enrolled into the academy. His biggest motivation at the time was to make his parents proud of him by becoming a strong ninja.
Academy
Xavier's parents enrolled their son into Kiri's ninja academy for him to further advance his knowledge in the ways of the ninja world. Both of them knew about the cold world they lived in and this was their way of preparing Xavier for whatever was to come. It was a new experience for Xavier to be around other kids his age. Most of his cousins were older or young than him and lived in other lands that he would sometimes visit with his parents. He felt out of place sometimes because he was one of the younger kids in his class. Xavier often kept to his self at first because of that. He was a very obedient child, always listening to his instructors to get closer to his goal of becoming a ninja. The longer Xavier stayed in the academy, the more comfortable he got being around other people. Most of the other kids in the class were jealous of the innate talent that Xavier possessed in the shinobi arts. He excelled in all of his classes. This was because he trained very hard, his extremely accurate memory, and also taught some of things prior to him joining the academy. Xavier brought home very good grades, his Father and Mother were very proud of him. Continuing to get older, problems at school started to arise. Three of the school bullies attempted to jump him because they were jealous of him attaining good grades. They each tried to attack him but he was very intelligent for his age, and easily outsmarted them while also showing the of bit knowledge he had at the time of taijutsu. Their Chunnin instructor intervened in the bout before any real damage was done, and brought it to a halt. Xavier didn't get in trouble as his instructor seen that he was simply defending him self, but as for the other two they were punished for what they attempted to do.
It was around the time for him to take his exams to become a Genin. The day before, his father taught him how to do something that would help prepare him for his exams. James taught him how to meditate. This ended up becoming something that he would regularly do. Xavier took the exams the next day, and expected that he had done well as he tried his best. About a week later Xavier learned that he had earned the rank of Genin. One of his instructors told him that he would one day become one of the best ninjas in Kirigakure. Xavier took those inspiring words to heart, and would remember that for the rest of his life. Xavier's parents were very happy that their son had graduated the academy and had become a Genin. His father was very proud of him, so on the day he graduated his father taught him personally how to further control his chakra.
Genin
Xavier's parents expected much of him as a Genin. He was very excited to go on missions and learn from the whole experience. From the time Xavier learned how to control his chakra, he had practiced everyday until it was time for him to meet his Sensei. During training Xavier was rather silent. He would mostly keep to him self, and would observe most from a distance. Although, he was young he knew the importance of listening, observing, and not always talking. Xavier soaked in the things that his Sensei taught him. His two team mates were very determined and hard-headed, but Xavier didn't mind it because he stayed to himself. With Xavier's intelligence, and his teammate's kekkei genkai along with their team work, his team he was on became one of the best in Kirigakure.It was getting close to the time of the Chunnin exams. During this time, it was discovered that Xavier had more abilities then his parents would have ever imagined. Xavier had the rare ability that his Mother had which was sensory. Jade worked with him to help train his sensory skill. Xavier being a quick learner, had no problem with this training, and learned how to utilize it pretty swift. Another thing that Jade worked on with Xavier was taijutsu. She aided him developing his abilities even more, by having him do a practice that made his body tougher than average. Xavier's father helped him improve his ninjutsu skills and gave him tips on how to use it effectively. Something else that James taught him was shurikenjutsu, kyakjutsu and kenjutsu. The boy had already dabbled in shurikenjutsu and kenjutsu, so those were easier to learn than the other, however he still did fairly well in learning it even if it was only the basics of kyakjutsu at the time. After a couple weeks James and Jade were very impressed with their son's progress. So, they pushed him a bit harder. Xavier enjoyed being pushed harder because it made him even more determined then he already was.
Not too much time had passed by and it was finally time for the Chunnin exams. While he waited on his match Xavier meditated and kept his mind at ease. It calmed some of the nerves that he was experiencing also. He was the underdog of the Chunnin exams. His parents had full faith in their child. In their mind, there was simply no one else who could win. The written exams for Xavier was of course, no problem for him as he always excelled in written studies because of his photographic memory along with his keen observation. When he got to the first round of the Chunnin exams and beat his opponent seemingly easily. His opponent didn't get the chance to hit him because of the speed in which he attacked.The second round Xavier's opponent hit him but it was a one time thing, because once more his speed in defeating his opponent prevailed. The third, and final match caused problem for Xavier. He ended up walking out of there with a broken nose and elbow. However, he still succeeding in beating him. This was the moment that most of Kirigakure truly recognized what a special shinobi the young boy was.
Chuunin
Xavier was one of the youngest Chunnin the village had ever seen. He was put into a team due to the Mizukage's orders because he thought that would be the best for him at this time. He was considered a prodigy of sorts now and was all too familiar to most, if not all of the village. For his age Xavier seemed to be very mature and easy going about all the things going on. He also had been working on his other techniques and was a skilled shinobi for such a young age. Around this time his mother began to start a job as a Cooking-nin. She still trained with him to help keep his skills tame. Xavier was fine with this and went to help his mother cook on some days. Around this time Xavier became better with interacting with other people as he began to spend more time around people in general. He didn't have that many social skills because of his persona, and how he didn't associate with many folk unless it was necessary. Xavier, was ready for his first mission. It was to escort a noble to the land of wind. But, before he left Xavier's Father told him that he had should meet the part of the clan that they were from. James said that his father lived there and that Xavier should go see him. He was very interested in meeting the rest of his family so he told his father that if it was allowed he would. The mission went rather well and Xavier got to meet his Grandfather, who was a kind old man. Xavier's Grandfather's name was Cain, he was an extremely talented weapon master. Xavier and his grandfather were having tea and he told him multiple stories of when he was younger and stories about his dad. Xavier also got to meet his uncle, Dorian. His uncle came in while Xavier was having tea with his uncle. He joined in the conversation and told him even more interesting stories of his father.
It wasn't before long that Xavier returned to the village. But, when Xavier returned to the village he was informed that his father was struck ill. He rushed through the town to the hospital. His father told him that he was going to be a great shinobi one day. He also told him that he had one last gift for him, it was an assortment of weapon's that his Father had acquired over the years that he was to receive. Xavier grieved over his Father's death. This was very tough for him to go through, since he had never had someone so close to him die before. Even though he was going through tough times, this was the point in which Xavier stepped his game up with his abilities. After his father's death he developed a new work ethic. He endeavored to be the best he could. His mother didn't take it well, but she knew she had to be strong for her son's sake, and do the best she could to continue on to provide for them.
Jounin
A year passed and a lot of things had changed in Xavier's life. He had gotten promoted to Jounin, which was very exciting for him. It was one of his mini-goals to become the same rank as his Father. He knew that if his father was still alive he would be proud. Jade cried when she found out what her son had achieved. She was very proud of him, and was shocked at the young man her boy had become. At this time Xavier had received his own team of Genin. Now much better at socializing in general, he turned out to be a rather good teacher. He cherished the Genin he had, and taught them to the best of his abilities. The main things he instilled in them was the importance of discipline and teamwork. From experience, he knew how vital these things were to survive and made sure that they understood it also.Xavier was always curious about the other side of his family. So, one day he decided to visit the land of Fire, where his Grandmother on his Mother's side lived. Xavier went to ask the Mizukage for permission which the he was fine with, because of how well of a shinobi Xavier was and the importance of family. However, the Mizukage did send Xavier's old Sensei with him just in case. Almost all of the travel there was pretty easy going, except when the two almost arrived at land of fire they got intercepted. Xavier and his Sensei easily took out the attackers. They seemed to be mere thieves looking for trouble, and got what they deserved. Soon after that, Xavier, and his Sensei found themselves in the land of fire. Xavier traveled to where his Mother told him his Grandma lived. He had met his Grandmother who was an elderly lady with a unique sense of humor. Xavier very much enjoyed meeting her, and was intrigued by the tales she told of Jade.
After various missions, he began to catch the eye of the Mizukage. After a while the students he all had, moved on up passed the rank of Genin. Xavier had been going on missions constantly and made fast work of everything that was handed to him. He started to get recognized not just by Kirigakure, but all over the five countries. At one point even gaining the nickname, "X". Xavier's grandfather Xan died shortly after he began to become more known throughout the ninja world. It was again a time of sadness and grief in his life. But, by the time this happened he was able to control his emotions more so than before and thus it didn't effect him nearly as much as the other family deaths that had occured in his life.
RP Sample:
- Spoiler:
Zayn sat quietly at a café. He was there for one reason and one reason only, for relaxation. Training intensely over the last few months had waned on him. Zayn wasn't exactly one to give up but, that wasn't what he was doing. This was his way of pacing himself for whatever there was to come. Experimenting with jutsu and what not along with keeping his self healthy is mostly what Zayn did over these last couple of months. This was his way of handling his Mother's death. She wasn't his biological mother but, to him she was his mother none the less. What she told him when she died came as a big shock to him. She wasn't his real mother and his father wasn't his real father. They were Zayn's Uncle and Aunt he raised him from a young age. On top of that Zayn also found out that he had a brother by the name of Terry. All very sad in itself for Zayn that he never got to truly meet any of these people knowing who they are. Despite him having met his brother and Mother once he would never forgot their faces. But, hell at this point he didn't know if they were alive or not, and was looking forward to seeing them again. Only thing is how would he know where they were or even what they were doing on this very day. After all what he did know is that they were both ninja and could very easily could be dead. He took this all into account and decided to let things be. Zayn never knew what fate had in store for him as anything could happen in that modern-day and age.
Sitting there deep in thought, Zayn was in a very relaxed mood. He wore his traditional kariginu, which was this time colored in Green. His sandles were a jet black color to the match the necklace that he wore. His brown hair blew with the breeze that came while he sat at the cafe. His Green eyes peered down the road while he sat there across from a ramen shop on the outside of the fine establishment. There were people at the different markets and restaurants and what not that sat outside around Zayn. A few of them were ninjas as Zayn cause sense their chakra due to his abilities as a sensory ninja. There were a bunch rambled up signatures around him and most he payed no attention to. However, in an instance there was one coming from behind Zayn that he noticed. He knew a couple of people from Takigakure but, something was different about this one. He knew this person's chakra and had felt it before. He could see people looking behind the as most were blatantly staring at something. Most were women, and he was curious as to why everyone was staring. He could feel the chakra of the person getting closer and soon enough a man with white here walked past him as he approached the ramen shop that Zayn was sitting across from. The man had white hair which was something that wasn't common around these parks. Zayn began to think of the possibilities of who this person could be. The man in the white hair began to talk to a red-haired woman as it appeared he was hitting on the woman. He took a sip of his tea before looking over and finally seeing the man fully. Before, he had looked up at the man only seeing his hair. However, what he neglected was the rest of his body. The man was completely butt naked. His face struck a look of confusion and slight disgust. It all made sense that most of the woman were looking at the man now. It was also a clone of the man who stood there naked close by with two bodies that appeared to be lifeless. He came to this conclusion because he couldn't sense neither one of their chakra signatures. That, and due to the fact that neither one had legs. The chakra signature of this man he couldn't pinpoint who it belonged too but, after a moment of thought it all became clear. This was none other than his brother. He remembered that Terry had white hair, along with the same chakra signature. Not to mention that his signature gave off the elements of water, earth, and wood. Who else could it have possibly been? This left him in a moment of shock knowing that this man could very well be his brother who he hadn't seen in over four years. He was quite puzzled by this fact and contemplated multiple thoughts not knowing which one to follow. He swiftly contained his wild emotions that were running vastly and out-of-order. The look of shock he had went away swiftly as he decided on what to do.
So Zayn stopped what it was he was doing and arose from his chair. Slowly but, surely he approached the man in such a way that you could tell there was something wrong however it wasn't something wrong in a bad way more of a good way. Zayn walked towards the ramen shop and ready to ask the man about his identity. Zayn was the rather honest and straight forward type but, surprisingly doing something like this wasn't as easy as it usually was for him. As he walked towards the ramen shop he walked slightly besides the man he thought to be his brother, stopped and glanced to his right. He was sure this time this was definitely his brother. Zayn remembered Terry looking just about the same when they were younger. At this point the emotions that Zayn held in earlier came back to him in a rushing fashion. A thousand thoughts and what not piled up in his brain again. They were on the outside of the ramen shop where there were chair and what not for people to sit. He turned his body completely in the direction of his brother and looked him directly in the eye. He hadn't known of his brother's' status or even what he was doing in Takigakure, nor why there were two dead bodies on the shoulders of his clone. The fact that he was butt ass naked in public now didn't even matter. But, at this moment that all didn't matter he just wanted to know how his brother was all these years. Zayn took a deep breath before speaking to Tee, "Terry is that you?". There was a look of kindness and slight nervousness on his face that was random uncommon however this moment called for that kindness and nervousness and brought it out in him.
