Play By: Shane West

The Details

Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel
Any Piercings? Both ears and tongue
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? None
General Appearance:
Shane usually wears dark, baggy almost trashy clothes. Tank tops, plain T-shirts, sweat pants or cargo pants and black converse all stars or sometimes flip flops. He has the general look of someone who hasn't slept well, because he hasn't. His hair is almost never combed, but it works for him. He rarely shaves and has recently decided to just go ahead and grow a goatee.

He has some muscle tone but can appear to be scrawny. The look on his face is usually indifference as he's too tired to really care about much. Not to mention constantly muttering apparently to himself for those who don't know any better.
Personality:
Xander is a carefree happy guy who just needs a good night's sleep. He will keep to himself quite a bit but won't hesitate to come out of his shell and talk to others. He cares about everyone, even when that might not be the wisest of ideas. His carefree attitude has gotten him in trouble a time or two.

He defends his friends fiercely, even if they might not consider themselves his friends. He has a bit of a short temper, probably due to the lack of sleep however. When he loses his temper he's prone to violent out bursts and shouting. He'll usually throw things and punch walls or objects. He can be a flirt but usually reserves that for girls he knows relatively well, or finds extremely attractive. He was raised right and believes in chivalry and considers himself a gentleman, despite his temper and sometimes overly necessary flirting.

History

Xander was born the eldest child of the Green family. He was always a bit of a skinny kid and usually had issues with most physical activities. He was said to have an active imagination as a child always having 'imaginary' friends. Now it's believed they may have been spirits but even he isn't 100% sure of that. Especially since he always had trouble making friends. He soon discovered track and cross country running and excelled. As well as excelling in all English classes when in regular school. He had one friend through out school, Nate. The two were inseparable. Until the day Nate was killed by his older cousin, Paul in 8th grade. Xander was badly shaken up by this and Paul was the prime suspect. But before Paul could be charged he took his own life. A few days later Xander awoke to the two of them standing over his bed. It was then his powers fully emerged two months after his 14th birthday.

Xander knew he couldn't tell anyone so he tried to keep it a secret. But soon other spirits were coming to him. But Xander couldn't hear them, only Paul and Nate. One day he was walking past a cemetery and was surrounded. His powers went haywire as he hadn't been sleeping well and had gotten into a fight in school. So add that to his already stressed mind, and he snapped. He was found a couple hours later in the fetal position on the sidewalk with his hands over his ears.

Shortly after that incident he was approached by the Hammel Institute. His parents packed him up and sent him off, now watching Xander's younger sister Michelle to see if she too has any abilities. Xander has made a few friends here and there since being at the school for almost 3 years now. However the side effects have begun taking their toll on him. Between the inability to sleep due to spirits pestering him and his colder body temperature due to all the spirits around him it's been tough for him, but manageable. He's begun focusing a lot on his writing now to vent as well as talking to Nate. And he strives for perfect control so he can send Paul away for good.

Roleplay Example

Xander approached the Student Lounge that morning. Most other students were still asleep, but not him. Oh no he'd been up for hours thanks to Paul and the other spirits pestering him. He sighed as he walked, his breath obviously visible in the early morning light that filtered into the hallway. He rounded a corner and walked into the room, yawning as he did so. His baggy grey sweat pants hung on his almost skinny frame with his black tank top on top. There was a 'flap flap' noise as his sandals slapped up against his feet while he walked. He sat down on a couch and rubbed his face. Behind him he could hear Paul and Nate arguing. He was doing his best to quiet it down but he wasn't having much luck.

"Be quiet...."

He mumbled, noticing the wry smirk on Paul's face as he said it. Paul then began to focus on antagonizing him more and more. With a scream Xander hurled the notebook at Paul.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

All the spirits, Nate included, backed away as the notebook flew through the air and through Paul, slapping into the wall and falling to the floor.

Needs Work

[/size][/b]

There are just a few things that need to be revised with this app.

First is his power; it's simply too powerful. Being able to see and communicate with ghosts is okay, but adding the ability to control them is taking it a bit too far. I'd suggest dropping the control aspect from the power. Also, the only power that would allow the human body to operate at such temperatures would be ice manipulation. As a substitute, we reccomend that he keep a normal body temperature, but is always clammy to the touch.

If you chose to use Shane West as a play-by, please use pictures from when he looks more like a teenager. The one you've selected does not look like a seventeen-year-old boy.

Finally, I'd like to know a little bit more about Xander's personality, particularly his negative traits. What sets off his temper and what does he do when angry? Throw things, brood, punch walls? We all handle our emotions differently and I'd like to know how Xander handles his.

Once you edited the app, just let me know and I'll be happy to take another look! ^_^[/blockquote][/center]
