Personality[/size][/b]
A heart trained to be compassionate and decisive. A soul that realizes the destiny he must embrace. Xenneth is nothing short of pure in heart and mind. It’s because of these traits that he can often be oblivious to tender feelings and their meaning, but he’s more than aware of the obvious ones. Considerate and kind, he always tries to find peace through non-aggression and defensive maneuvers rather than subjecting himself to using his powers. He is sometimes considered ditzy however because of how trusting he can be, but when it comes to reaching a goal’s end, his mind is set upon it, but swayed if feelings come into play, which they often do.
When it comes to him being social, he is as kind as possible. He comforts those in need as well as spouts words of wisdom from his experience taught by his elders. It is because his little experience in this world however that he is unaware of most of the dangers besides that of the situation of the sickness. He isn’t used to the slang or mannerisms quite often making him seem like a total loss, if anything, way to gullible in general. He helps friends and tries to sway the minds of foes. Often he tries to prevent killing his targets, but simply disabling them so they can no longer fight. His mercy however can get him into trouble.
When it comes to fighting, he is always prepared to meet ends. He defends allies and attacks enemies aggressively, but his blows are aimed to be non-lethal. He doesn’t like to sit back and let no one fight for him. He takes the challenge head on with his moderate blows while conjuring magic in combinations for his attacks. He fights in a style that represents the emotions and feelings of the wind in a dance. It’s because of his friendly and compassionate battle style, he is known as the “Wind Fellow.”
Xenneth loves grapes! Spending time in nature has made him appreciate fruits, and one thing that he grown accustom to were grapes. Unfortunately, this is also bad as Loki had convinced him to have a grape drink which was unfortunately wine. Because of this, it was discovered that he couldn’t hold his drinks too often as he ended up not only talking slur and drunk, but also vomiting an excessive number of times. Including if it’s something as light as wine!
He loves nature! Another good characteristic shaped into by his stay within nature. He has a great love and admiration for the wind, the animals, and flowers as he often listens to them and channels the ability to gain an inner knowing from his experience. This means he has a strong connection to nature which can affect his mood when it comes to the state of the world. He often feels the deepest sympathy, but this doesn’t affect his purpose most of the time unless his purpose and emotions conflict.
Last but not least, he loves to have fun! Whenever he isn’t fighting with his tonfas in his hand, he turns to his optimistic self that thinks more about dawdling around and being silly and fun with others. Of course, this isn’t always if things are serious. His grown “Killer Intent” that he used has given him an alternate persona when it comes to fighting and his duties.
Drinking! Every since the experience with the, he often tries to avoid having liquor. He is however easily convinced most of the time and when he’s drunk, he isn’t exactly the most worried fellow as he smile and apologizes a lot as he gets into brawls and fights on accidents attacking and swinging his arms wildly. This makes him a strong unpredictable fighter most of the time, but also a dangerous one as he can be a danger to enemies, allies, himself, and the world! (Not the World maybe…or maybe so?)
He hates death and violence. Most of the time, he’d like to avoid violence, but when it comes to it and there is no other choice, he resorts to it. He usually uses Magic to keep others away while running away from danger, but sometimes it isn’t always that simple. His elder trainer taught him that, so therefore, he fights with a Killer Intent built from the haltered to have to resort to fighting himself. This is the only time where even a speck of darkness is said to be present in Xenneth heart was what the elder said, but his light is strong enough to never lose himself. He has an inner knowing of that.
He seriously dislikes his own obliviousness. He has been so isolated from the average city as he isn’t able to learn their “jive” or “slang” that he often is ignorant of what someone says or intends to do. He can also be fooled into doing something crazy this was as he would believe almost anything anyone would say, unless he had reason to mistrust them, such as an inner knowing of feeling that they have a dark intention, but this is VERY rare as he doesn’t often realize things until they happen and it’s too late.

Appearance[/size][/b]
Xenneth is unique in appearance. When the word unique is used for him, it is GREATLY stressed.
His features for his body are an average build as he seems to be flat-based around the stomach and upper chest area. His figure is slim really from head to toe. He has no muscles having no build to show off whatsoever. He can be defined as plain as any Japanese boy with light skin and clear face, but very often he can stick out because of his “other” features of his body. His measurements are him being five feet and eight inches which is a little short of the usual ten inches of other boys he usually see, and his weight being a good one hundred and twenty-two pounds for his light body. His natural hair color is blonde.
One of these features starting at the head is his hair. Xenneth’s hair is a violet color of sleek smooth hair that seems relaxed. The length goes as far as the shoulders making it a very feminine fashion. On the right side barely out of his vision, a twist of hair is in a single braid as some of the threads of hair are paved with a navy blue color giving it a tie-dye like blend of color. This twisted braiding of hair is clipped by a wrap of small bands that are kept in the hair similar of a female. These blue bands are light, so they do not add any excess weight to the length of violet hair that travel all the way down until the tip rests on the right of his shoulder front.
His face is shaped to the fine craft like a pretty boy’s, but his expressions make him seem like a maiden. One feature being that of his blue eyes that are like a blue jewel; sapphires to be specific. His lips are always chapped with a swab of fruity strawberry that can be smelt in the air, and smooth by the sight. His cheeks are smooth and curved in a more distinct way to make an oval head shape type rather than round, and the final feature of a characteristic trait is a red heart that sits upon his right cheek’s center that is as deep in tint as when he blushes from embarrassment.
His body is mostly hairless along legs and arms showing he does good to shave away the original blonde color details that would ruin his appearance. His hands and feet are not rough at all which are those of a physical worker. Rather they are soft and delicate by the touch as Xenenth does not do a lot of physical labor seeing he is so meek and cuddles most of the time. His nails on hands and feet are trimmed to a distinct feminine style as he clearly takes care of his body more out of the ordinary than a regular man would.
He has a splendid clothing design supplied by the priests. It consists of a white heavy like jacket that goes over the shoulders and travels down to his waist, and from there to his knees lie two buckles that are always loose as he would prefer them to sway freely. This is more or less like a poncho jacket as it has no definite place to zip up since it is a pull over with a star shape like design with it buttoned with constellations of jewel like blue, green, red, purple, and white. His hands that reached from under his poncho have white sleeves and last but not least are his baggy white pants and white high tops. His Tonfas fit along their place on his backside as they also add to the direction of the poncho as their ribbons tail in the wind with the fabric.

History[/size][/b]
“I don‘t think prayer is just idle worlds, I think it‘s a way for everyone‘s heart to be connected, no matter where they are.”
“So each of us should keep praying! That way we will always be connected!”
“So each of us should keep praying! That way we will always be connected!”
~Xenneth to Loki
[/I]The words were not idle, and if anything a turning point for young Xenneth Hikari.
Since he was born, Xenneth had been one to be kept into the “family and religious” tidings to the family. His father was one of the Priests of Yevon religion, and his mother was a simple believer attempting to become an acolyte. Most of the time, this meant that Xenneth was born into a healthy family that pretty much kept religion of Spira in their highest praises in order to gain fulfillment behind all of their received blessings, and therefore dedicated Xenenth to follow behind in their blessings and high standards as well.
Brought up from the High-Class family and lived most of his life between Bevelle and Mt. Gagazet, Xenneth was a very sheltered child. He had not the opportunity to explore much, but most of the time had the privileges of being around the “High-Class” parts of Bevelle. This meant his life was usually filled with perfection, or almost, as his family constantly taught him about religion since he was age eight. It was around this time that his mother who was becoming an official Acolyte of Yevon religion had encouraged Xenneth to take an official role in becoming a Priest of Yevon.
Of course, Xenneth was not the most “common” child when it came to his first years in becoming a priest. His appearance was mostly unseemly, and uncommon because of his feminine characteristics. Most of the time, as a joke, the fellow junior scholars had referred to him as “Priestess in-training.” His feminine features were pretty much the most joked about item among peers, but the most charming to any females which made Xenneth nervous since he has a very high phobia of being around girls. Nevertheless, he adored the way he looked mostly because he held true to the “differences” that made him feel good about being himself, as well as him not being so fond of “grouping.” He was not one to think the same as his scholars freeing him of nearly all material thoughts and bitterness…except a mean streak that would occur after him starting to stand up for himself.
During that time where Xenneth had tended to studies, he had met two friends that had spent time with him. One being by an older young woman by the age of ten that went by the name of Loki who had failed the exams multiple times, and the other by the name of Rakuo who was nine. Both of them older than Xenneth but had the intention of showing them how things went around the Monastery, they spent time with him in order to help better strengthen his resolve to be a Priest upon Yevon since he was categorized as “unusual.” This was most likely because he was sheltered and felt he did not have a role, or importance seeing he stayed at home and simply had to keep up appearance, and he wanted to be something more. Liking the sentiment, the two friends had aided Xenneth while also strengthening Loki’s resolve to try harder to become a Priestess and help see Xenneth along his way. All of them passing, the three friends had made it into Priesthood looking out for one another where they had made a promise.
Upon their graduation night to become junior servants to the religion and being read-in to become servants of Yevon, the three discussed what they would do or what their titles meant. Loki commenting had been bitter speaking saying, “It sounds like more prayer and reading to me…” Bitterly Loki had spoke lightly of it, but Xenneth had insisted that the prayer would keep them connected. (The above quote before the history) He insisted for them to keep praying if not for the sake of Yevon, but to reach each other’s hearts.
Loki and Rakuo liked the idea, and thus agreed with a solemn pact by placing each others’ hands on top of another’s.
During his training to be a Priest, around the age of twelve, Xenneth had learned that Priest and Priestesses had to learn how to defend ones self, and learn at least one classification of skill when it came to traveling and being worldly since fiends lurked around Spira in large scales. Xenneth had almost went through all jobs, starting from Mages (White then black) and then swordsmanship finding one problem more burden filled than the other: As a mage, he was destructive with black magic nearly burning down every Yevon Church he went to upon bad impulses, His White Magic was so terrible he had induced sickness for his patients or those he tried to cure instead of healing them, and above all with a sword…well…it was beyond belief. He was not a very good Dragoon when it came to handling a spear, but he shown potential, but anything bladed meant danger. Therefore, Xenneth was better equipped with a set of Tonfa that were light, blessed, and his body movements seemed to better operate wind magic than anything else.
Therefore, his style was like the wind, untamed and free which had explained his discipline when it came to trying to use any other class skills.
During Xenneth’s year of training and thus seeing “Sin” fall, he had rejoiced knowing that the massive creature was destroyed, but he was still troubled however. The fact that the religion of Sin had reviving every two years, and then falling had felt ominous to him, but everyone insisted it was the way the religion went. However, Xenneth did not like the sound of it. He wished that there would be an “eternal” calm, and Loki and Rakuo had somehow agreed with him despite their sense and knowing about Sin more than he did, but they could sympathize with the wish of their friend.
It had been two years into Xenneth’s studies and once again, Sin had revived a mother shortly upon turning fourteen. Upon doing so, this brought Bevelle into another busy state. Xenneth mostly taking up the servant roles along with himself and his best friends, but upon them departing to different duties, they seen little of each other. With Loki being the guide on the road to any High Summoner who had been lost, as well as for Rakuo tending to duties in temples, that left Xenneth alone in Bevelle, once again sheltered inside the city as usual, which was mostly the workings of his mother and father to keep him safe. However, it was upon doing this that Xenneth had felt more rebellious than before and took it upon himself to sway the decision of his superiors to handle a task outside of the palace.
Journeying to the Temple of Fayte where within Macalania Woods. Xenneth had checked the temple for unusual activity only to learn that fiends had been attracted to it for some reason. Unknowingly, it was because of Seymour Guado’s death upon him being defeated by the High Summoner which put Xenneth in a bind because of the fiends reacting to the presence that was long gone. He had to fight his way, but with him being weak and still learning how to harness his powers, Xenneth was at a disadvantage until suddenly a young set of Yevon followers had appeared and thus attempted to defend him. They had otherwise told him to leave the fiends to them while he went back to Bevelle to recover his wounds, but he was reluctant not to. Not giving him a chance, the young woman had used the ability “Warp” with a powerful double cast and sent him all the way into the center of Macalania woods.
Of course Xenneth could have went back, but if he had attempted to do so, the fiends would finish him going and coming from the temple, so therefore, he continued to Bevelle where his wounds were treated and soldiers departed to the temple upon his report.
It was at that time that Xenneth had awakened to find the land in disarray after a few days. After a said Wedding had been ruined, the treachery, and the temple that sends for the creation of the Final Aeon was destroyed, he was left in despair seeing that Bevelle was in a state of chaos further because the Maesters had become deceased. Upon learning all of this, it seemed to be the “hopeless” situation he had always imagined, but could not bare. It was at the time where he was roaming the halls that the members of Bevelle were asked to recite the Hymn of Fayth. Questioning why, and it was an opposed idea by the High Summoner to defeat Sin, he had replied with a weak smile before dismissing the lower Yevon Church member and went to his quarters were he sat silently.
He was plainly conflicted. He had been so caught up with all of the bad news and work that he had not realized the incident days ago before he slipped into a deep slumber was in fact his old friends that had come to his rescue and saved him. Realizing this, Xenenth had felt a bit more positive as he went outside and simply recited the Hymn while praying, but not for the sake of Bevelle, but because of his fear and his wish to see his friends again.
Either way, he had gotten both wishes.
Days after Sin’s defeat and the promise of the Eternal Calm, Xenneth and his friends had met once again upon realizing the secrets of the Church as well as the peace he hoped for was present. Loki and Rakuo had announced they would leave and live free lives while Xenneth had announced to them that he would stay a priest and remain in Bevelle even though the scandal with the religion was true. It was not that he believed in Yevon, but believed in the hope that Yevon had brought him and his friends that were now living a day of peace together. The two had understood, and complied happily, but if anything Xenenth wanted to wish, he wanted to travel seeing he had a story to tell, and even furthermore he had a story to make upon his own.
Asking Loki and Rakou to come back to their quarters and walking to Bevelle, they had learned they were in line to become a full pledged Priest, but he had postponed the offer as well as left with his two friends going separate ways declaring he would bot become a Priest, not until he sees the beautiful world he dreamed of beyond the walls of Bevelle.
