So Xavarian is a giant creepy looking nerd. That's the long and short of it.

Tall, dark, and creepy.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeerd.

Vague History

Wow, what a loser.

... I think I saw him peering at me behind a book once. Before he hid behind it.

Currently

LIVIN THE NERD LIFE in some ruins, poking spriggans and tripping over rocks. 300% would recommend.

Not cool enough for these. Yet.

Tendencies

Likes ■ Aether (Its study, use, application, experimentation, theoretics, etc.) ■ Mages + Magery ■ Experimenting and the Unexpected ■ Obtaining Knowledge and Power ■ Puzzles + Riddles ■ Exploring ■ Ruins + Caves ■ Books, Tomes, and Scrolls ■ Relics + Artifacts ■ Causing little mischiefs ■ Darkness ■ The Sylphs ■ Black, Gold, Red ■ Cushions ■ The Sea ■ High Places

Dislikes ■ Light ■ Being treated poorly (esp. due to being a Duskwight) ■ Destruction of Knowledge ■ Destruction of Aetherically Intriguing Objects / Beings ■ Partaking in Physical Combat ■ Those who severely lack intelligence ■ Gridania ■ Crowded places ■ Having Secrets Revealed ■ Loud noises ■ Being kept against his will ■ Getting in trouble caught (esp. by his family)

Hobbies/Talents ■ Aetherically Adept: Though still learning on many fronts, he has a strong talent and interest in studying and weaving Aether. ■ Riddles and Puzzles: Very good at solving puzzles and riddles, and actually, has a penchant for creating them himself. ■ Seeking Knowledge: From everyone, everything, all the time. ■ Reading and Note-taking: If there are words on a thing, he'll try to read them. And if he can't, he'll take them down in his notes so he can read books on how to read them. And then take notes on the books he reads too. As well as taking notes on the person who talked to him about where he can find the books. ■ Book-binder and Tome Mender: Can make books of low to good quality, and though better at the simple literary sort, he's also capable at creating Arcanist tomes. In addition, he has the skills to restore and mend old tomes of either variety that have seen better days, though may fall short on Arcanist grimoires where an Arcanist-tome mender may do better. (As he is not an Arcanist himself, some of the intricacies may be lost on him.) ■ Scribe: Can write letters, notices, and various other texts in a variety of scripts for those that need the service. May or may not also be decent at forging documents and copying signatures. ■ Exploration and Travel: Very curious, and knows how to hold his own on various expeditions. ■ Artifact / Relic Retrieval: Decently apt in methods of relic extraction and transportation. Not the best, not the worst, but has had a hand in it a number of times. ■ Excellent Hearing: As per most duskwights, Xavarian has great hearing, to where it surpasses his eyesight as his primary sense.

Weaknesses/Faults ■ Control of Aether: Despite his strong interest and ability at casting spells, controlling his Aetherical potency is more of a challenge; at times it manifests in small ways when not intended, and can be problematic in certain situations. ■ Poor at Physical Combat: Might be able to block a few strikes with his staff, but that's about the best luck he'd ever get. If he tried to punch anyone else, he'd probably hurt himself more than them. ■ Socially Awkward: Stumbles around a lot in social interactions that aren't revolving around his subjects of study, might ask a lot of odd questions, and is often vague or cryptic. Understanding what he's asking isn't always easy. ■ Terrible Directional Sense: Despite his travels, he often gets lost. ...Basically anywhere he can get lost. Even if a map shows him where to go, there's only a percentage chance he'll make it, barring all else. Luckily, he finds interest in just about everything, so being lost isn't often an issue on his own. ■ Addictive Personality: Though it manifests often in ways of getting sucked into projects with little regard to his health, if he finds something particularly appealing, he may grow obsessively attached to it, or insistent on seeing an objective through to completion. (This doesn't apply to people so much, but moreso things like power, substances, ideas, etc.) ■ Light Sensitivity: Moreso nocturnal than diurnal, he has a light sensitivity that would be comparable to most people stumbling about in the dark. He can see fine in darkness, but when it gets brighter, he has a much more difficult time discerning things.
