Xarius Palido

Xaruis Palido is a arrancar menber to the Imperioassisting in the goal of resurect to the Emperador.

Appearance
Xarius has slanted pale brown eyes and brown hair Untied, his hair falls around mid-back. His face is youthful, with a pale complexion, almost as if he spent his entire life indoors and without sun. He’s pretty short, standing at around 5”5, and weighing it at around 112lbs with a pretty lean build. Xarius doesn’t seem to have any muscle on him, but he is pretty strong nevertheless. If anything, Xarius has a rather sickly-appearance, despite him being perfectly healthy.

His uniform consists of a high-collared white jacket that reaches his chin. When zipped up, it looks oddly like a scarf, but he mostly keeps the top part open. It falls just past his knees, with two pockets on either side of his waist where he often puts his hands inside. The sleeves are long and loose, with a black border around the wrists about two inches thick. There is a thick black stripe, also two inches thick, running down the jacket to mark where the zipper is. On the back of the jacket, behind his waist, there is a red, triangular pouch that he wears horizontally, where he sheathes his zanpakuto when sealed. He wears white hakama pants and black boots, standard issue. Underneath his jacket, when he opens it, he wears another jacket, except it looks more like a turtleneck sweater. There is another black stripe running down the middle of the second jacket, except much thinner. The sleeves cling to his arms, ending at his elbows.

Xarius’s mask fragment is a headband that extends into an eye patch over his left eye. The band circles his forehead, two inches wide, and is pure white. Over his left eye, it forms a patch, extending three more inches down to his cheek. The patch is rounded at the bottom, save for a few centimetres that are straight at the end, looking like a pirate patch, where four teeth remain. The patch ends just before his ear. His hollow hole is in the middle of the palm on his left hand, two inches in diameter. Because there is a gaping hole in his hand, Xarius comedically has trouble holding things that are smaller than the hole. To make up for it, he wears a unique glove on his left hand, essentially two pieces of cloth that covers the front and back, with a loop around the top for his middle finger to go through. On the piece over his palm, there is a small ‘plug’ that’s the same size as the hole. With the plug, he can cover the hole, but it also leaves his hand unable to close into a fist. When he removes the loop, he can pull back the piece over his palm, like a flap, and remove the plug to enable his hand to bend properly.

Personality
Xarius is a man of contradictions. His name, which means ‘sluggish and pale (i.e., sickly)’, is the complete opposite of his personality. Despite having the appearance of an ill person and the body build of a twig, he is physically very strong, fast, and energetic. Quick to be angered and easily annoyed, Xarius is very hot-headed and often tends to overreact to certain things, especially when it involves people who underestimate his powers due to his physical appearance. He absolutely loathes the fact that his ‘new body’ looked weak and frail, and incapable of fighting, something he tends to do a lot. Xarius says that his purpose in life is to live in order to prove to others that appearances aren't important in a battle. He constantly seeks out stronger opponents, but his main reason of doing so is only to push his body to the limit, grow stronger and to prove to others that he isn’t as weak as he appears to be. Despite this, he knows his own strengths and weaknesses, and while he gloats about it to weaker opponents, he knows that stronger people are stronger than him for a reason, and it would be foolish to randomly attack someone with more strength.

In a fight, he tends to draw it out, starting of slow, and slowly increasing his power as the fight progresses. He loves showing off his strength and abilities to others, claiming that his abilities are some of the most artistic ones in all of Las Noches. He gets irritated when people don’t remark on the beauty of his attacks, and often asks “Well, what do you think?” after revealing a new trick.

When it comes to the social aspect of his life, Xarius isn’t completely hopeless.

Actually, yes, he is.

He doesn’t make acquaintances easily. He believes that there is no such thing as ‘friendship’, and the only relationship he has with anyone is respect. Xarius respects those who are stronger than him, who has something to live for and fight for it, and those who persevere. In his mind, those are the traits that make someone respectable in his eyes. Xarius believes that fighting unworthy opponents without good reason is cowardly, and refuses to do so, and calls anyone who does so as being 'weak and unworthy of respect'. He also doesn't seem to have an interest in women, thinking that petty relationships like 'love' or 'lust' is a complete waste of time. Some people think that his 'sword bends the other way' but in reality, he just doesn't care about things like that.

A unique aspect of his personality is that Xarius loves snow. For some reason that he doesn't even know, he finds that snow is the most beautiful of nature’s creation. He especially loves the fact that no two snowflakes are alike, just like how no two people are alike. He likes Hueco Mundo because the white sand reminds him of snow, if only appearance-wise, because the two have completely different textures. This is probably the closest to 'love' Xarius has felt as an Arrancar, and it's not even to a living person, but to frozen raindrops. Xarius dislikes many things, such things include warmth, the sun, rain, the moon, trees, flowers, anything colour purple, tomatoes, flip-flops, fur-lined boots and bathtubs.
