Xaros Skyloft

Xaros Skyloft was an orphaned teen who knows nothing of his past but his name and an unfulfilled purpose plaguing his mind. He finds companionship in a mysterious new visitor about whom he knows nothing, other than his name - Sora Irino. After getting to know Sora, Xaros begins to suspect that he knows something of Xaros's past that he is loath to share. Since he was spending his time in an orphanage without knowing anything about himself, he doesn't have any known family.

Appearance
Xaros is slightly taller than most people his age, being 5'11". His hair is jet-black, semi-spiky, and stops at the base of his skull. His eyes are a dark shade of gold. His skin is relatively pale at the beginning since he hadn't ventured outdoors very often. He is thin, but rather well-built despite his gangly appearance. He wears a plain white T-shirt underneath his dark navy blue, almost black leather jacket that is half a size too big for him. He usually wears his jacket open and his collar up. He also wears black fingerless gloves in order to hide the unsightly (to him) birthmark of a split flame of the back of his left hand. He wears simple black denim jeans with a silver-hued belt with black buckles, and is cuffed twice at the hem. His shoes are a simple pair of black and gold tennis shoes, though he will change into black combat boots if the need arises.

Personality
Xaros is oftentimes quiet and withdrawn, and doesn't get along well with new people at the start, not being very social to begin with. He can be sarcastic and somewhat rude, although unintentionally in most cases of the latter. He is also aloof, preferring to distance himself within a group of people and just observe the goings-on. He is often taken when new people make conversation with him easily. It probably stems from his general lack of contact with people. Xaros is also quite intuitive, and more mature than his age betrays. He is able to see things and make deductions based on his observations, and so is capable of quick and clear thinking. This is proven when he saves Sora's younger brother from living as a human vegetable after a traumatic incident rendered him stuporous, using the information that his twin sparingly gave about his history. He also notices that all the people he meets knows something about him that he himself doesn't, though this particular observation he keeps to himself. Xaros tends to be a huge skeptic, not believing anything told to him without hard proof, and as such comes off as stubborn. This also gets him into trouble on occasion, getting into trouble with his tenacity tending to get on people's nerves. He is also shown to be somewhat oblivious when it comes to girls.

History
Not much is known about his past, and Xaros himself is oblivious to it. All he knows is that he has something he needs to do, though he doesn't know what it is. Sora hints at the fact that Xaros is someone special, but Xaros isn't aware of the specifics. He also knows that Sora knows about his past but isn't willing to trigger Sora's temper in order to find out.

Weaponry
Xaros has the ability to summon dual butterfly swords several inches longer than his forearm called Division's Blight, and wields them back-handed. They have golden gems of unknown origin emblazoned on the hilt and pommel of each sword, and is presumably the source of his swords' innate power. Currently, he is not able to use any special abilities with the sword but has natural abilities in hand-to-hand combat while wielding both swords. However, his weakness is that his lack of variety in style, so he can easily be taken advantage of in this regard. He can, however, dual-wield almost any weapon, so he can save himself with an extra arms.

Abilities
Xaros is immune to a host of subjective abilities, such as mind-breaking (mind control) and Veritability (the ability to make people believe anything said by a person), so he is difficult to subject to anyone's will. However, he cannot withstand objective abilities, so is defenseless against them since he does not know of his own abilities as of yet.

Dragon Tamer
Although Xaros is unaware of its wherefores, Xaros also is a Dragon Tamer, and has a male dragon companion named Umbraen. His dragon is able to change size from the size of a raven to a twenty-foot behemoth, and prefers to be in the latter state. This ability to change size can prove useful to catch an enemy off-guard. It is also handy when needing to traverse places where he would not fit in his normal state. Like most dragons, Umbraen is able to breathe fire, although his fire is of an ethereal black nature instead of the natural red-orange to blue.
