Ethnicity: Caucasian
Other: Xander is a well-built guy, mostly from many years of surfing in his home in Hawaii, but not overly so. He’s kept himself in shape by running on the beaches, surfing, rock-climbing and working in his uncle’s surf shop. His arms are at a good length and his legs are long, that’s where he gets most of his height. His torso is well defined and on the back of his left shoulder, he has a very detailed tribal tattoo, which he got from his friends while he was knocked out on drugs, but he loves it anyways.

He has broad shoulders, but, again, not overly so. His neck has a nice artistic curve to it, and his Adam’s apple is noticeable. His face is round, but his chin is kind of squared. He has a rather small nose, but a good-sized one for his face. His eyes are a blue/green color, like the ocean, and his hair is an auburn/red color. His hair is rather unorderly, but it looks all right with his style. He prefers his hair to be short and choppy so that it dries faster when he's out of the water and has to work. Dark lashes and dark brows surround his eyes, and although they are dark, his eyes always seem to have a glow of enthusiasm in them.

He is handsome, but he doesn’t see it very much and all he would ever do to “dress up” is to ruffle his hair with some gel and slip into some comfy jeans and a collar top. He’s normally found in his board shorts or kaki shorts with flip-flops and a tank top.


Psychological
Personality: Xander is a rather easy-going, happy-go-lucky kind of guy that is really laid-back and relaxed. He is usually found, if not on the water, in a hammock playing a ukulele or making boards, or chilling with friends on the beach. Living in Hawaii for so long has given him the sense of ‘no worries’ and he likes to share that with people since he knows that so many people worry about too much. He’s also very respectful and knows his manners, but it’s not to the point where it’s annoyingly so. When it comes to girls, he’s not the kind of guy to step up and flirt with a girl just cause her breasts are big or she’s in a short dress. He is very courteous kind of man that will not look at a girl’s cleavage while he is talking with her or her legs and but from behind when she walks away. He knows that women deserve respect, and it’s not his place to objectify them.

He’s a friendly guy that likes to hang out with friends and act like a brother when he makes good friends with girls. He knows when to draw the line when talking. He doesn’t like to upset anyone or get on peoples’ bad sides. He just wants friends and is calm and collective.

His anger is not easily set off, but when tilted he’ll march off and do some serious surfing, no matter the weather, nor the water. He is known for never really holding a grudge and is open to other peoples’ sides of the story. That brings us to knowing that he likes to observe people. He watches them, studies them, and knows when it is the right time or the wrong time to approach them. He does something that not a lot of people do these days: he stops to listen to what people have to say and thinks about what he’s going to say - over and over - before he says it. He loves to help people and would like to use his acting as a way to show that he knows what people want by what he’s seen.

History:
Xander has lived in Hawaii his whole life, but was born in London when his parents wanted to live close to their siblings. But is dad’s job made them move and his Uncle Tubby (his mom’s brother) became his mentor. Of course, he still kept in touch with his cousins Brea and Kiera.

Brea was much more of a sister to him than a cousin. They always got a long and whenever they saw each other, they were pretty much inseparable. When Xander heard of the planned marriage, he demanded to meet the man that Brea was going to marry. And when he met Adrian, he didn’t like him. He was older, yes, and a bit of a prick to Brea, and that was not okay with Xander. He didn’t understand, being so young, why his uncle would marry off such a wonderful girl to such an awful man. He didn’t think it was right. Unfortunately, Adrian never knew that he didn’t like him, because Xander pretended he did.

When they discovered Kiera’s second person, it was hard for him to get a grip of, but after a few times meeting Ophelia, he knew how to handle her. He didn’t particularly like Ophelia, but he loved his younger cousin Kiera. And he realized that avoiding her in such circumstances would not be a good idea. So he stuck true and stayed by her and her older sister in both their terrible situations.

When he was eleven, he was invited to go to Hogwarts with Brea. He was so excited and didn’t hesitate to go. Of course, he was going to miss Hawaii, but he always had holidays to go back and hit the waves. However, Hogwarts didn’t stick to the entire hubbub that people mentioned it. Sure, there were a few good pranks (some of them with him involved) but it was an easy-going seven years: which was perfect for Xander. In his third year, he decided that since he loved potions so much, but still loved surfing, and knew the injuries from that all too well, he’d want to major in Potions and Medical Magic. It was an early year for him to decide what he wanted to do, but he just wanted to help people and alleviate all the pain that he could see Brea and Kiera going though because of their situations, just in a different way.

His Uncle Tubby is a well-known surfboard maker in the small town he lives in and around the island too. He is Xander’s best friend more than an uncle. Being only 18 years older than him, they get along just great. Just like him and his parents. The whole family surfs together and it’s a major part of their life, ever since they moved to Hawaii. Xander has a lot of friends in Hawaii and none of them know about the wizardry in the simple family of four that lives on the beach in the south end of the island. Since his whole family is pretty hospitable, everyone knows them by first name and there is no sense of formality: it’s all easy-going. Just as any time on the beach should be.

He took a year off between school and uni to work and surf (typical). But found that he missed the school atmosphere and decided to apply at Elysion, hearing about the great program they had there. However, during his registration to EU, his grandmother said that it was a bad idea, they got in a big argument and he never really talks to her anymore. She said that he was just following after Brea and that he really didn’t have any other intentions but to goof off in college. Being his mother’s mom, he really didn’t find any real connection with her as he did with his family on his dad’s side, but he guessed that things with her would smooth out eventually.

Family: His Father: Dave, 43: people say that he looks a lot like his father. Xander agrees. He's got the same hair and eyes as his father, but that's about it. He's taller than him too. But he did get the respect from his father's side, along with his friendliness.

His mother: Sandi, 42: He definatly got his mother's face and her big heart. He is easy-going and happy-go-lucky just like she is. She's a beach mom and is very pretty. She always seems to have a smile on her face and a hand out-stretched to those that need it the most.

His Uncle: Tubby, 39: Uncle Tubby is kind of a beach-bum sort of guy. Living in Hawaii his whole life, he has come to be doused with the Hawaiian culture: their beliefs, their dances, their language, their stories and myths, and their sports: surfing. He is probably the most laid-back guy people come across when in Hawaii, and he's the 'best surfboard maker in the Islands' according to many people. He's just like his sister Sandi when it comes to having a big heart and an open mind.

Miscellaneous
Pet: may get one later on
Knowledge/Talents: Surfing, surf board building, rock-climbing, cooking, running, and socializing/how to have a good or relaxing time
Special Ability: Hydrokinesis - though he does not really notice he can do it, but his emotions play a big part in how the water responds. When he’s angry and surfing, the water is usually a bit rougher and darker and when he is in a good mood, the water is calm, there are some great waves, and the clear green-blue color of the water is back to normal. He hasn't completely found out that he can do it: he has seen some patterns that show that he may be connected to it somehow, but he just doesn’t think about it that much. However, he’s going to learn that he can do it later on this year.
