Name: Xenarius Durand
Nationality: American (Greek/Middle Eastern Descent)
Age: 17
Weight: 205
Height: 6'2"
Build: Xenarius has well defined muscles, but they are well toned as opposed to being large. He is fairly thin and tall.

Hair: He has short black hair. It is usually messy and looks like he just got out of bed because he rarely combs it.
Habits: He chews his nails when he gets nervous.
Personality: He is a kind and caring guy who seems shy at first, but is really just cautious about letting people into his world. He is Chivalrous and lives by his own code of honor.
Appearance: He has very tan skin, and can usually be seen wearing a white t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and black steel toed work boots. When the weather gets colder he will also wear a black leather jacket. He also has a silver ring with a ying yang symbol in the center that he wears on a chain around his neck that is a remnant of his final days in Varron.
Hobbies: He loves games of all types (sports, board games, CCG's, Roleplaying games, etc.)
Extracurricular: He is an A and B student. He is a member of the Theater and bowling club.
History: Xenarius was born in Washington D.C., where his father, who is a military man, was stationed at the time. He is middle child of three, he has an older brother (20) named Frank, and a younger sister (13) Sarah. He spent a lot of his early life moving from state to state with his family. They never really stayed anywhere long enough for him to set down roots and make good friends.
But then when he turned thirteen his parents sent him to boarding school. Their hope was that he would be able to finally live like a normal kid his age, but that still was not to be the case. About a week after the transition to the school he was jumped by a bunch of the other boys because he looked different than them and was an outsider. They beat him severely and threw him down the stairs. He was in a coma for six months and when he finally awoke he learned it was a miracle that he survived at all. It was then and there that he decided that not everyone could be trusted and to learn how to defend himself. Luckily his physically rehab teacher, his muscles had atrophied while in the coma, was a judo instructor and upon learning what had actually happened to Xenarius offered to teach him all he knew. So for three more years Xenarius endured beatings from the other boys letting his body toughen itself while learning the art of Judo. When he was almost 17 his instructor and mentor thought he was finally ready and Xenarius fought back.
Those in charge at the school expelled him for this. Though they turned a blind eye to the other boys beating him. Though he hated to do it Xenarius knew that fighting back against the other boys was necessary. Xenarius was told that the school would not pursue criminal charges if he agreed to go to Varron Academy which was supposed to straighten out crooked kids. So he went.
While there he lived with his Aunt, and he quickly came to learn that while he hated to fight, fighting was a necessary evil and he continued to follow his training. But his stay at Varron was to be a short lived one because a few months after he arrived Donar Kvist and his gang brought about the destruction of the entire city. The memories of what happened in that town will always haunt him. But the police mistakenly took him in on one of their raids and he spend about a month in prison when they told him he had been offered another chance by a school named Hircine High. He gladly took it, and now is hoping he can start new.
After a few months of living here his aunt discovered his affiliation with the group called The Watchmen. She had heard of them before because they were "involved" with what happened back in Varron. She threw him out for lying to her, and refusing to leave the "gang", as she called it. After about a week of sleeping wherever he could, his father showed up to bring him "home".
For six months he rejoined his biological family, and traveled with them. He moved twice. First from San Francisco to San Diego when his father forced him to. Then with his family from San Diego to Houston two months later. After the shock of rejoining "normal" society he was really happy to be back with his siblings and his mother for about a month. But eventually he started to miss Hircine, and realized what a part of his life the school and some of the people in it had become. He realized that even the fighting, or dislike of fighting had become a part of the way he looked at the world.
So he approached his father about letting him return. His aunt reluctantly agreed to take him back in after numerous conversations with his father. and his mother. So he moved back. Now that he understands that what he once thought of as an "experience" had become a core part of his life, he can't wait to rekindle old friendships, and make new ones.
Fighting Style: While his fighting style is based in Judo he has broken away from the traditionally extremely defensive nature of the art. He has picked up a lot of techniques from fighting, and sparring that let him be more offensive (basically he has learned to control his punches and kicks better and throw them more accurately). He has merged the defensive and offensive natures together in hopes of it making him a better fighter all around.
Strengths: He excels at using opponents strength and momentum against them, and adapting his fighting style to be more offensive or defensive depending on how his opponent fights. He is fairly quick with his movements, and he is flexible which allows for greater maneuverability while fighting. He is very durable, and has a good stamina.
Weaknesses: He is not overly strong himself. While he can fight multiple opponents at the same time he is not very good at it and will often be overwhelmed. While he doesn't get fatigued easily he gets sloppy as he gets more and more fatigued leaving himself more and more open to attacks.
