[hider=Xavier and Blue] [color=skyblue][b]Name:[/b][/color] Xavier the Slave Knight [color=skyblue][b]Age:[/b][/color] 24 [color=skyblue][b]Sex:[/b][/color] Male [color=skyblue][b]Orientation:[/b][/color] Asexual [color=skyblue][b]Place of Birth:[/b][/color] Guran - Most of life spent in Yaewong [img]https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/595109660004974594/595163480521310208/rhys_of_raleigh_by_aikurisu-d48b7f6.png[/img] [color=skyblue][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] 6ft4, near pure white hair and a grimace almost permanently set in place, Xavier is not exactly the most outwardly welcoming. His hair, formerly kept short cut, is now allowed to flow freely. His 'armor' little more than thick cloth in hues of grey and white. His hair once again, is white, though unnaturally so, and jarring to look at even when one considers his pale skin. [color=skyblue][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Soft grunts and nods often make up his speech, though this can often be attributed to his treatment as a [s]slave[/s] servant to his master. He is extremely protective, quickly defining his limits with anybody he considers a part of his circle and leaving them set in stone. He is near impossible to sway from these decisions, and will never abandon or betray those he pledges himself upon. In this way, he is a slave of his own making.

He was taught very quickly that the fastest way to die is to ignore orders. As time went on Xavier became so obedient that his master trusted him enough to have him outfitted and trained as a faux-knight. This would last from age 16 to 23 as he served a minor landowner and his family for nearly his entire life until he was blamed for the assassination of his master. He would have died, had it not been for the fortunate spot his half alive body had been dumped. He spent nearly a week in a half coma before he woke up with a blue tinted Ralts staring at him from across a bed. He soon left with the Ralts, learning from the kindly old lady who saved his life that the little blue fellow had been found laying across his body, and followed him all the way to to the old woman's home as she struggled to keep him alive. He did not blame his attackers, and held no ill will for his former masters, simply treating it as a termination of employment. However low in the rankings socially and politically his former masters were, he held a respect for them that was beaten into him over many years. With a Ralts following him relentlessly, Xavier often found himself in trouble again and again due to his tenancy to place himself in the hands of others rather than make his own path. This resulted in him often being brought into groups of people whose goals were unsavory to say the least. Cults, Bandit hives and even at one point a 'weapons' trader, Xavier seemed to always attract trouble, forcing him to constantly move and seek out a goal, a purpose even if it meant serving under somebody. He spent most of his time after that wandering between bandit groups, until he was eventually left alone once again, albeit with a Kirlia at his side this time.

It takes cover if it senses any hostility. In this respect one may find that Xavier is the perfect partner for a Ralts. Harboring no ill intent for anybody, even those he fights, Xavier was approached by Blue back then for one simple reason. As he lay there half alive, clearly attacked and left for dead, not a single thought that passed through the man's mind involved revenge, or the harm of those who had done such to him. Blue is as protective of Xavier as Xavier is of his masters. The little fellow is extremely social while standing in the shadow of Xavier, feeling perfectly safe in the Slave Knight's presence, yet when removed from Xavier's presence, one will find just how much Blue has begun to rely on Xavier's calming aura. Battle-wise Blue is extremely supportive, often preferring to use telepathy to help direct Xavier's attention to more pressing foes and heal pulse to help keep her protector standing. However, when pressed Blue has been known to use Teleport, Magical Leaf and Hypnosis to keep itself out of harm's way. Admittedly, following Xavier was out of sheer attraction. As a ralts in a period of time where everybody wants to harm everybody, Blue was attracted to the calming aura that seemed to radiate peace in Xavier, at least that's how Blue would describe it. The moment things changed was the moment Blue evolved from a Ralts, into a Kirlia. It was in their early days as bandits, one of the first groups they had joined encountered the remnants of Xavier's family of former masters. Though he no longer took orders from them, Xavier could not allow harm to come to them either. Needless to say this lead to Xavier being turned on by most of the bandit group. It was when Xavier was driven to his knees, ready to accept a fatal blow when Blue was driven into her evolution. It was as if time stood still, and in mere moments and a simple thought, she pushed at his attacker with her mind, throwing him backwards onto his ally's waiting blade. Truthfully, they barely survived, though Kirlia learned the extent of her dependence on Xavier, or perhaps even her bond with him.
