Xander is a slim, slightly slouched guy with a messy, shaggy haircut that falls over his eyes, almost hiding them. His expression looks tired or detached, with a neutral-to-slightly annoyed vibe. He’s wearing an oversized layered outfit — a loose V-neck shirt over a longer dark undershirt, with baggy shorts. There are wrist wraps or bandages on one arm, adding a slightly edgy or worn-down feel. His personality is quiet, guarded, and emotionally shut down. Years of abuse made him stop reacting openly — he learned that showing emotion only made things worse. He’s: Hyper-aware – constantly reading people, anticipating danger Detached – struggles to feel or express emotions normally Submissive – follows orders to avoid pain, not because he agrees Deeply distrustful – assumes people will hurt or use him Resilient – despite everything, he endures instead of breaking completely. Underneath all that, there’s still something human left — maybe a quiet kindness or a need for connection — but it’s buried very deep and only shows in rare, subtle ways. He’s mostly quiet and controlled, but it’s not natural — it’s forced. He keeps everything locked down to stay safe. But sometimes, when something hits too close or someone pushes too far, he snaps. He gets sharp, defensive, even a bit aggressive for a moment. Then almost immediately, it’s like a switch flips — he shuts down again. The anger disappears, replaced by silence and withdrawal, like he’s punishing himself for reacting at all. So his personality becomes: Controlled, but unstable underneath Short flashes of anger → instant shutdown Afraid of his own emotions Used to suppressing himself to survive It gives him that tension where you can tell there’s a lot inside him — he just doesn’t feel safe enough to let it stay visible.
