[indent][color=gray]Neatly messy would be the best oxymoron to describe Xan. In an oddly satisfying way, his natural dark curls bend and coil in all directions with a distinct volume. His features are dark and thick from the amount of hair on his eyebrows to his lined-up beard. A single mole is one of two distinct facial features, the other being his malformed nose from an incident that he never really recovered from. Xan isn’t particularly physically inclined, so his slim body paired with his height make for an almost lanky appearance. His style stays within the realm of monochromatic colors mixed with a modern touch of fashion often branching off into a semi business casual.

[indent][color=gray]Having been home schooled for nearly all his life has rather stumped Xan’s social growth. Xan has your standard introvert load out mixed with a homebody. Xan never did guess why his parents decided to teach him from home rather than a public school. Maybe it was the crime rate moving on the up and up or perhaps it was just because the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York City would be too much for him. Regardless of whatever their reasons were, he never complained nor wanted to change what wasn’t broken. His parents never kept him from exploring his options or interests, instead the opposite, supportive and investing all their morale in boosting their sons. 

This later manifested in two hobbies that went hand in hand. One was his love and fascination with insects, which led to his passion for Entomology otherwise known as the study of insects. Not only was he fascinated by them, but he collected them by the barrel, well figuratively speaking. Whether it was live insects to keep as pets or dead ones he preserved and labeled with the proper species and genus,  Xan found his true calling. This worked in tandem with his second hobby which was drawing. How exactly was drawing and insects connected? Well, he drew all the insects he discovered and cataloged them in a sort of bestiary if you will, but for insects contrary to mythical creatures. His art was mostly focused in charcoals and fine ink accompanied with cursive writing to capture all the information needed to know in case he was ever stuck in the wild. 

His hobbies only strengthened his curiosity and willingness to learn, always questioning people and things until he got answers that made sense to him. While he didn’t like to interact per say, knowing the answer took precedence in his mind thus pushing him out of his comfort zone from time to time. This could come off as annoying to some since people don’t like to be challenged or refuted, but Xan has no ill intent. It wasn’t until recently that Xan wanted to expand his understanding of the world outside the walls of his house and the insect exhibitions in the Museum of Natural History.

And so halfway through his high school career his parents decided to move to Michigan as only the most prestigious of schools would suffice for their sons natural learning talents. With that, Xan found himself as the new kid at Stockbridge academy, where we mostly kept to himself and his studies while learning how to conform to social norms.  Being the new kid usually lent itself to having a free pass into the social hierarchy for any high school, but sadly it was passed up by Xan as he didn’t know how to completely capitalize on it. So, he suffered from the condition where you’re popular but not popular enough to really mesh in any group to the point you could call people your friends. 

So, for now, Xan prefers to keep his head down and spend his time in the art club where he feels less constrained by the weary eyes around him. Who knows, maybe if he survives High School then College could be different for him.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent][indent][indent][sub][sub][color=#77dd77][h3][b]Inventory[/b][/h3][/color][/sub][/sub]
