[quote][sup][color=#916151]Being able to consume, even the smallest drop of blood from someone - mortal and god alike - imbues Xipe with the ability to transform into said person for a limited amount of time. Taking on their appearance, their voice, their walk. Their likeness in every way - except their godhood. There is a catch. If someone were to speak his name while he is transformed, he will revert back to himself. Additionally, if he were to take some form of damage he will also transform back. He isn't like he used to be. Maintaining others' forms is tricky work.[/color][/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[hider=☢][indent][color=#916151][sup]Being the eldest brother to those the world remembers as being awesome would bother a lot of people - a lot of Gods specifically - but Xipe didn't really care about that. He knew his place among his people, among his family. The oldest and the black sheep. Sort of. While stories and legends cropped up about Tezcatlipoca or Quetzalcoatl or even Huitzilopochtli it was still Xipe for whom the Aztecs adamantly tried to appease through their sacrificial rituals. Specifically by taking it a step further and engaging in a multitude of them. Such offerings to the god of agriculture ensured that the rains would help the crops grow into a bountiful harvest; so they believed and so it was.

He wasn't the most... flashy of his siblings. Definitely not the most strategic minded, but there was something about the way the Flayed One would show attention to those he deemed worthy that sent a shiver down one's spine. A shiver that wasn't there long before their skin was ripped from their bodies and worn like a cloak. It was a high honor to be chosen. Sometimes. Depends on who you ask.

Xipe didn't care. He enjoyed it for what it was. 
Sport. Sacrifice. [i]Appeasement.[/i]

[hider=☢][indent][color=#916151][sup]The Fall didn't surprise Xipe in the least. He was down amongst the mortals enough as it was anyways, what was a permanent place, thriving among them to a fallen god? Paradise.

Sacrifices still took place - ritualistic or not - and he enjoyed being a part of the festivities all the same. More even. Showing the mortals correct techniques and new tricks to use, how to handle the blades in a particular way so as to make sure it comes off in the most delicious ways without killing the victim right away. [b]Full. Body.[/b] [i][b]Shivers.[/b][/i]

When these events weren't taking place, Xipe found himself enjoying time spent out in the fields and gardens, sowing and tilling to the sun went down and waking up the next morning, bright and early to do it again. The other aspects of his domain called to him on a primal level, almost as if cursing and punishing him for showing so much favoritism to other points of interest. In order to appease his own inner turmoil, he spends a lot of time with his hands in the dirt. An honest living - according to the mortals. He still enjoys being surrounded by the screams of others for his own enjoyment; it's kind of his deal.

It is with those busy, hard working hands of his; and pension for not being able to sit still for too long, [sub][i][s]idle hands and all...[/s][/i][/sub] that he found his niche. His calling. His purpose? Well, he wouldn't go [i]that[/i] far, but still it was something for him to do. To pass the time and still receive the wondrous gift of blood; there weren't a lot of rituals taking place once he and the others entered modern society. It was deemed to barbaric and pagan... [i]evil[/i]. Perhaps. But injustice was still a thing, and there were still those who were favored over others - the conditions were right. They always were when he went out. All he had to do was catch them. The rest was easy.

Though his new occupation couldn't be his only source of revenue - seeing as it provided him with nothing. Xipe went on to join the police force in New York; a detective at first though that didn't last too long. He really felt a calling within the department that specialized in forensics; the dirt, fingerprints, weapons and yes, even blood. When he found out that he could strictly follow the blood he switched over immediately.

A match made perfectly. Well. Nearly.
His midnight dalliances are nothing to scoff at. He enjoys them all too much. A little [i]too much[/i]. It's ultimately what shoved him out of New York and to take up a permanent residence in Seattle. His darling was there after all.
