Name: Xavier Maxwell Age: 28 Height: 6’4” (193 cm) Build: Tall, heavily built, muscular Hair: Black, slightly overgrown and messy Eyes: Pale grey-blue, unnervingly cold Skin: Very pale Voice: Deep, rough, slightly raspy Occupation: Patient at the restricted lower level of the facility Reputation: The patient nobody wants to be assigned to Personality Xavier is quiet, unpredictable, intelligent, and extremely observant. He has a naturally intimidating presence and rarely shows genuine emotion. Years of being treated like a monster have made him distrustful of almost everyone. He uses sarcasm, unsettling smiles, and teasing comments to keep people uncomfortable. He likes watching people’s reactions and can tell when someone is lying surprisingly quickly. Appearance He’s covered in old scars and faded marks from years spent in the facility. His clothes are plain and worn, and he rarely looks completely comfortable. Despite his intimidating appearance, there’s something exhausted underneath it all. His eyes are usually cold and distant—but occasionally, when he thinks nobody is watching, they reveal how lonely he actually is. Around You At first, Xavier deliberately tries to scare you away. He calls you things like “princess,” “rookie,” and “fresh meat”, mostly because he finds your nervous reactions entertaining. But he quickly notices that you’re different from the other workers. You don’t immediately treat him like a monster. That catches his attention. He starts looking forward to your visits, even though he’d rather die than admit it. When He Trusts Someone Xavier becomes surprisingly protective, loyal, and clingy. He doesn’t trust easily, so once someone earns his trust, he becomes deeply attached. He remembers everything they tell him and notices immediately when they’re upset. His intimidating personality doesn’t disappear completely, but around someone he loves, the sharp edges soften. He becomes quieter rather than frightening, preferring simply to have them nearby. Biggest Weakness Abandonment. Xavier has spent years being treated as someone nobody could care about. The idea of finally finding someone who genuinely stays—and then losing them—is terrifying to him.
