Brown
|{Hair}|
White and ruffled is the only two words that can describe his hair style, He doesn't find a need to comb, His hair is also rather cut short, even by male standards

A-fore-mentioned, Xander is a surprising well built individual, He is tall, and intimidating, making him a bit hard to approach, He harbors a stotic and serious expression, but it is not completely uncommon to see him with a smile, especially when talking with his fellow humans, However when he comes in contact of the monsters, He is less then pleased, Showing a subtle but irritated expression. His usual attire consist of a long red coat and a light armor underneath, This fashion statement is "defense" among the many dangerous creatures residing here.

{"Why are we trying to elevate dangerous creatures to such a status that they gain a place in society, Humans are the dominant species, I don't have tea with my dog or converse with my goldfish, This whole operation can be described in one word, pointless, Why would anyone think monsters want peace, Once they are close enough, they will only want one thing, Blood β }

|{Personality}|
At first glance, Xander is a hot-headed, loud mouthed individual, He will always try to get what he wants, Even if it means he has to get it himself, Conflict is Xander's middle name, As he doesn't so much want to start it, He just wants to be the one who finishes it. He is also one to hold grudges, An example of this being his unceasing hatred for the unnatural creatures inhabiting the residence. His outlook on life is quite simple too, Live life to the fullest, He also admires people who do so, His stern and brash way of speech repels most, Though Xander doesn't really care, Of course, This way of life has earned Xander next to no friends, But Xander was never the outgoing type, Acting more arrogant to show a sign of strength, But deep down, He is still a child, Alone and Praying for a shoulder to cry on.
Xander is also very protective, Whether it be his things or his allies, Though his reliance on his friends is not openly shown, He really does treasure the people and things around him, Take a closer look and you will find a man who can chuckle at well-timed humor, If you decide to dig a bit deeper, You will find a man who will push you up, even if the toll that it does on him is lethal, A man that will clean after your messes, and crack a joke from time to time, A man who will become a shield to defend you, or a savior of your own skin, maybe if you decide to dig a bit deeper, You will find a man who will become your friend.

Gear and Xander were polar opposites, Gear was hard-working, and solely focused on his studies, while Xander found no interest in school and just left class whenever he wanted, which was quite often. Though they still maintained a brotherly bond as they should, Xander would tell stories of who he beat up, and Gear would shyly explain his academic accomplishments, Opposites do attract as they say, When they both finished Highschool, Gear was given the option of going to a prestigious collage, Which he promptly accepted, and Xander, successfully flunked every single class, Though he didn't really care, Life wasn't something her was fond of living anyways. As Xander and Gear were walking home, A boy, the same age as Gear, Congratulated him, Although Xander found this quite odd, As they both didn't know the boy at all.
