Sexuality: Heterosexual
Faceclaim: young Leonardo DiCaprio
Personality: Xander is the boy next door kinda kid. The kind of guy you wanna bring home to mom and dad. The kind of guy who you feel like you've known forever upon just first meeting him. That's the simplified way to describe him of course, let's go more in depth.
Xander is a loving, kind soul. He isn't super innocent, despite many things that makes him seem so innocent. For example, the more reserved persona he exhibits upon first meeting. He doesn't normally enjoy loud places or people, and instead would rather sit in a coffee shop and talk one on one with you. He doesn't want to know "what's up" he wants to know your fears, life, dreams, meaning of life, plans for the future, the deep things.
He has a pretty high tolerance for people of all types and ages. He's excellent with children, he actually adores the innocence and curiousity that a hold often expresses. When he's with a hardened person, he will be careful and caring towards them, but not at the expense of his own self-esteem. He has to be treated right, and often times doesn't stick his nose into others business.
He is actually rather awkward and clumsy, maybe even shy if someone has attracted his feelings. He will get red, or sweaty palms, stutter, be unsure how to express that he likes them. He thinks he should be able to, due to the toxic masculinity in the world, but he is himself after all.
When he gets angry, or even loses his patience, he does his best to keep it all together before saying what's on his mind. He can hold it back for months maybe even years because he knows the power and effects of words. When he snaps, he'll do his best to escape the situation because he doesn't like conflict in the slightest. But when forced, he may say what he's feeling, quite frankly it may be hurtful. It'll take less than five minutes before he comes to the person he snapped at and apologizes for his actions/words.
He's extremely smart and intelligent, often having his nose in a book. He has always done well in life, from middle school to college he has always had excellent grades. He isn't an extremely ambitious person, content with the small things in life. When he's with his friends he's so crazy and spontaneous it isn't even funny. He is so kind, and so sweet and fun to be around, he just attracts people.
Even though he's quiet at first, he's such a jokester when you get to know him. All in all, just an overgrown cinnamon roll.
Backstory: Xander's parents met at a bar one night and hit it off. As a result, they began talking and as one thing led to another, they soon got married. At first, they struggled a bit, but they worked it out. His father, Hayden, and his mother, Jasmine, were married and going to school. Jasmine worked a part time job while Hayden worked a full time job at a gym. During the month of August, Jasmine learned she was two weeks pregnant. Nine months later in May, she had Xander. Xander was born May 23rd. He grew up a good childhood, and everyone loved him. He did his best no matter what he did. He had a couple kids who would test his patience, but when he grew up, he learned they were given their own retribution. He went to college to study biology, as he wanted to go to school for marine biology. But the fee for a special program he had to take was too much. And while his parents were more than willing to work a bit more to afford, Xander declined the offer and chose to stay at home. He lives on his own now with his pet dog, Levi.
