Name: Xanthias Rashinar
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Affinity: Ice
Birthplace: Dollet
Weapon:
Wailing Vengeance:
A custom-made gun that Xanthias is rarely without. The handle is actually based in fashion similar to a rifle’s, making the weapon’s optimal handling to be with the arm fully extended. The barrel is a foot long and built more similarly to a narrow cannon more than a gun. Normally such design would be impractical due to things such as ammo feed and recoil. This is countered by the contact points on the handle which lead the the base of the barrel. It allows Xanthis to channel and store his own magical energies into the weapon, in which the trigger cuts off the flow to the collection chamber, and projects the collected and compacted energy at an extremely high velocity, which then explodes upon impact. Xanthias is capable of delivering a variety in levels of power between each shot as long as his reserves of energy hold out.
Slung under the weapon is an interesting bayonet. It is the size of a broadsword and allows Xanthias to use heavy sweeping attacks with the blade, allowing him to fight against those who use bladed melee weapons.
Appearance:
Height: 6’2
Weight: 255 Lbs
Hair Color: Blue
Eye Color: Turquoise
Standing at average height for a man his age. Xanthias is evenly built and has a solid frame. His muscles are fairly trim, though they do have a fair tone to them, it is not often seen as he is usually clad in clothing that doesn’t really show his frame or muscles.
His face has a constant expression of detached interest. As if he is always curious as to the state of everything around him, though it also looks as if it wouldn’t really matter to him. However, the expression still seems to come off as friendly. His eyes do seem to see right to the heart of something when it has actually captured his full interest.
His clothing consists of an extremelyly dark blue bodysuit. Over the suit he wears a pair of snug white pants that are tucked into a pair of black mid-shin length boots. Xanthias also sports a very long white coat and a blue scarf. Which is wrapped in a fashion so it covers his face from his chin to his nose, while the ends of the scarf hang over his left shoulder. One end in front, the other end over the back.
On his hands are a pair of black elbow length gloves, that are made of extremely tough leather. His piercing eyes are covered by a pair of orange sunglasses, tinted to their color to help Xanthias’ eyes to adjust to different light amounts a little easier. His gun is holstered at the middle of his left thigh. This allows him to quickly draw his weapon in virtually any situation in which he has his weapon with him.
Biography:
Born in the town of Dollet, Xanthias wasn't a person who seemed to be touched by fate in any way. His parents ran a small convinience shop in the town and Xanthias didn't do much in his life that was worth noting until he reached the age of fifteen when he mentioned that he wanted to go to the Garden and work to join SeeD.
While not exactly overjoyed at the thought, his parents decided to send him to Balamb Garden to train and attempt to reach his goal. While there Xanthias meshed well with the other students. He was relaxed and easy-going, and this made it easy for him to get along with most people.
He did well in his studies, excelling in nothing aside from the fact that his scores were always good, and fairly even in most areas of his training. Over time he had worked with a friend he had made who loved to tinker. Over the course of a year, they developed the weapon that Xanthias uses to this very day.
Xanthias abandoned training with a guardian force, not wishing to rely on the power of another to suceed. While not unheard of, the uncommon practice did make a slight name for Xanthias at the Garden.
Upon the age of eighteen, Xanthias became a SeeD. For the past five years he has been doing assingments for the Garden, some of a more covert nature, others rather brazen. Often sent on solo missions, Xanthias has becomve exceptionally self-reliant. He still works better with a group and preferes to do so, but he has become exceptionally good with guirella tactics when operating alone, often becoming the deciding factor in sending him alone on his missions.
Recently he has been assingend with traveling to the other worlds. Though there isn't so much exploration to do, Xanthias is to try and fill in the gaps of information on the world, along with giveing status reports on his progress.
Special Abilities:
Crippling wave.
When drawn to his limits. Xanthias can instead channel his energies into the blade of his weapon and by slashing thropugh the air, send out a large wave of energy which weakens anyone caught within it. It causes no physical damage, but can exhaust his foes in short order, even if they are recently rested.
