"The new family home"
Xavier Kazoku
[color=][ Nicknames/Aliases ][/color]
Jōkā: Not a name that is usually said to his face or normally people that know him personally but it is widely popular to a lot of the regular students, professors and even to one or two of the night class members, who have come in contact or have heard of him at the very least but despite this he never has a problem with being called it.
Xavier-san/sama/senpai/chan: Despite himself, he has always hated the Japanese honourifics and found them pointless. Real respect/intimacy comes from how you speak and act towards another not by some word you add to their name and many of his friends have learned to simply call him something by itself.
Scarface: Having started off as an insult due to his unusual facial features, Xavier very well adopted this as favoured nickname having learned long ago to survive in life you needed to be able to make fun of yourself, he allows many to call him such but still draws the line with it at times.
Eigo: Another name which is not often used to his face. Since Xavier is English and not Japan but moved over there a while ago he's always been a bit of an outsider having preferred the former's culture rather than the latter. Due to this he has often been looked down upon by some of the more traditional Japanese and hence the nickname Eigo was created as a derogatory term for him.
Anything: Having been called different nicknames for his entire life with varying feelings to towards them all, besides from a few exceptions the prefect really does not mind what he is called as long as it's intentions are not malicious.

One thing can be said about the prefect is that he's a bit of a specimen. Standing a head over the shoulders of most in his class and with his broad shoulders, he is a rather powerfully built individual although he has had to work hard to maintain his physique despite his high metabolism. Although not particularly slim he is far from bulky giving him a very athletic look one in which he is proud off but never would say it aloud. Although his body is far from flawless there is one thing that stands out more than anything else and that is his pronounced collarbones, which stick out as triangles on his shoulders.
Despite his love of dosing off in the sun, he possesses ghostly white skin, very much like a vampire but unlike one of the undead, his skin isn't in very good condition, being scarred up to a point of looking like a patchwork doll due to his curiousness as a child with nature. Luckily to counteract this rather unsightly flaw with him are a set of strong features and a smile that can infatuated all but the most aloof of people; with all of this in mind he has a rather rugged face which gives off the appearance that he's older than what he is.
Never being one for looks or putting much effort into them either, Xavier has a rather casual outlook with his clothes. When ever he can he will wear his uniform as unorthodox as he can push it without having to be reminded to tidy up, something which he often fails at, when outside the school or simply not caring about the regulations he is often seen in flannel shirts over a basic t-shirt, jeans and converse/vans or even a mixture of his uniform and casual clothes.
✔ Food || No matter what it is, Xavier will eat it faster than it can be served and since he has the appetite of a blue whale; will ask for thirds and fourths, although he does have a fondness of pepperoni pizza with extra olives, mushrooms and anchovies.
✔ Cooking || It goes hand in hand with his love of food and he enjoys cooking for others.
✔ Alcohol || It may not exactly be permitted (or legal) but he has a fondness for spirits.
✔ Relaxing || He isn't one for constantly worrying over things and likes nothing more than to kick his feet up and just take it easy.
✔ Cats and dogs || Although he likes animals in general he is particularly big dog and cat lover, seeing the two beasts like humans and vampires.
✔ Being with his "family"|| Whether just hanging about aimlessly, helping each other out, simply teasing each other or even arguing with them; Xavier is rarely happier somewhere else.
✔ Napping in the sun || It doesn't matter if he has something better to do, most things will be put on hold if he can grab a quick nap while the sun is beaming down.
[ Dislikes ]
x Rules || Having never been one for following rules to the letter, he sees particularly strict or orthodox rules as unnecessary and oppressive.
x Certain things about Japanese culture || Not everything bugs him but there are a few things that just rub him up the wrong way.
x Uptight people || Being the "anti-uptight" Xavier really believes that these people need to take the stick up their certain-area-that-will-not-be-named and lighten up
x Getting in trouble || He may like to bend the rules as much as they can be but he isn't a rebel.
x His "family" being in trouble || What ever their problems, they're his as well.
[ Strengths ]
☯ Compassionate || No matter who, when or where, the prefect will always help out anyone who needs it, even if he has to be subtle whilst he does so.
☯ Optimistic pessimist || A term he often coins about himself, he never fails to see the brighter side of a situation no matter what but even so he expects the best but prepares for the worst.
☯ Physical prowess || Despite his love for the more relaxing things in life he keeps up his physical health to it's peak as much as his lifestyle will allow it.
☯ Relaxed || Spending his whole life carefree as left him level headed about things, although not immune to be aggravated he's found out that in times of need he is much more calmer than some.
☯ Loyal || When he thinks of someone as family he is loyal to them to a fault, although this doesn't change much on how he is, the person in question should expect some perks from this.
[ Weaknesses ]
☠ Unmotivated || His relaxed nature is a double sword and because of it, Xavier rarely is motivated to do much besides a a handful of things; a reason why he is falling behind in his school work.
☠ Unorthodox || Whilst his ability to think outside the box when it comes to his duty as a prefect has solved problems even before they have become such; it often involves bending or down right breaking the rules which has caused him to be berated by others.
☠ Wrath || Whilst hard to anger, once so it goes out with a bang, in this state he isn't one to be around if you're the perpetrator.
[ Abilities/Skills ]
Skills
✶ Cooking || As mentioned before, Xavier is a rather adept cook, being able to cook rather advanced meals but if anyone who has ate his meals could tell you is that he makes enough to feed a starving nation.
✶ Jack-of-All trades || Not having the motivation to master any form of combat, he has developed a rather varied and vast collection if fighting techniques and is at least averagely proficient in both firearms and mêlée weapons.
✶ First Aid || While not to the skill of a paramedic, he can at least treat minor injuries and more severe ones to some degree.
Abilites
✶ Unorthodox thinking|| Much to many people's grief, Xavier is rather talented with thinking outside of the box being able to produce results with unusual methods.
✶ Strength || Whilst not to the levels of a noble or a pure blood, the prefects strength is greater to a lot of his fellow students giving him an edge if he had to get up close and personal to restrain them.
[ Personality ]
There's no hiding it, Xavier is the antithesis of the orthodox or uptight. Where ever he goes there is always some kind of smile on his face, whether it be plain friendliness or mischievous, is up to debate depending on the current companionship. Because of his views that family isn't about who you're born too but instead who you develop bonds to he is always willing to give a hand to anyone who needs it, from helping with a task to just cheering up he will do it, sometimes in his not so subtle ways and sometimes without that person even knowing. Though he shows kindness and shares a good laugh with everyone he can do, it' styles he considers as his "family" that he shares a more intimate bond with and whilst most would hate confrontation with those they care about even then, he still enjoys himself to some degree not out of maliciousness but due to his optimistic pessimist belief.
Contrary to some people's beliefs, he doesn't think of himself as a rule breaker, far from it, he excepts that there is need for rules for a society to survive, the more delicate it is the more rules are needed. What is true though that he believes that rules are meant to be pushed and bent if it means achieving one's goals if it was beneficial to others, a few which has often made him unpopular to traditionalists and has caused him to get into just as much trouble as the ones who blatantly break the rules. These feelings are due to the boy taking a more relaxed approach to life, always trying to get as much done with as little effort put in, something he tries to share with others with mixed success.
Memoirs
[url]
[/url]Let's take a trip down memory lane.
There isn't much to say about his earlier life, Xavier Kazuko was born into this world with only his mother to look after him, after his father had abandoned them before his mother was even aware of herself even being pregnant. Up until his thirteenth birthday went like any other child with a single parent, times were tough but there was always food on the table and presents when certain times of the year came, the only thing he could ever remember being even remotely interesting was the amount of times he went to A&E due to him constantly cutting his face as he explored the wooded area close to were he lived. Sometime after his birthday though his mother met a man who had moved to England from Japan for work, well not long after that the two started courting and after a year and several months the two had gotten married not that Xavier payed much attention at the time. By his sixteenth birthday him and his mother was moving to Japan with his new father, he started attending school but had to take special classes to learn the language which had been thrust into his life. His mother grew pregnant again with twin girls when he was seventeen and nine months down the line they were born; after this his stepfather and himself started to grow closer together as they both helped their mother with the babies and it was due to this that his beliefs about family started to grow.
His apparently normal life style took a change for the worse not in a single day like some bad storybook or movie but through several weeks. The boy enjoyed taking his little sisters out on walks around the city which he called home and normally all three would enjoy themselves, with the twins both squealing as very young children do often causing Xavier to laugh. This started to change when he noticed a feeling of being watched every time he stepped outside with his sisters but only for a few moments, this carried on for several weeks, slowly getting worse and worse till one day his usually cheerful sisters had cried in terror as had almost himself at the stifling sensation of what ever it had been. On this day he decided to cut the walk short and head back home but when he had turned he stood face to face with a monstrosity, the feeling sensation wasn't just a case of paranoia as he had thought but was the systematic planning of a E grade vampire that still held some sort of intelligence; with his sisters life and his own in danger Xavier found it in himself to fight the thing but needless to say he was soon overpowered in the blink of an eye. Luckily all three were saved before any serious damage could have been inflicted a Hunter which had been stalking the mad vampire as it had been to the family, struck whilst the fiend was occupied. After that the hunter had seen something in the boy and had made a personal request to the headmaster of True Cross Academy to become a student and a prefect as a type of test to see if he was hunter material.
