History: Failed his Trainer Licensing Exam as a child, at age 10 and again at age 13. Frustrated by his poor memory and goofs under pressure, the young boy began to visit Professor Sycamore’s lab regularly, to study and learn more about Pokemon. The Professor encouraged him in his studies, and eventually Xavier became enthralled with Professor Sycamore’s work. At 15, he began running errands for the Professor around Vaniville, Aquacorde, and Santalune on a kid-sized bicycle. (Until he eventually outgrew it.) Before his 17th birthday he was a paid Research Technician at Sycamore’s lab, caring for the Pokemon who lived there and running routine tests and procedures. Still living with his parents in Santalune, Xavier’s job was great. By the time he was 20, however, he had remembered his old dream of becoming a Pokemon Trainer. He did not fail his Licensing Test a third time. So with adventure ahead and Professor Sycamore’s approval, Xavier stepped into the next chapter of his life. He could never have guessed what awaited him.
Appearance/Physical Description: Tall, a bit lanky, with dark hair and steel-blue eyes. Fit from regular exercise, but pale from working largely indoors for the last 4 years. Built like a runner, and dresses neatly regardless of the circumstance. (Learned this from hanging around Sycamore for 7 years.)OOC Trivia!
~ Xavier's nickname "X" is an homage to the character X from the Pokemon Adventures Manga.
~ Sina and Dexio, Xavier's colleagues at Professor Sycamore's lab, are secretly superheroes. They defend Kalos as the.... uh, well, Defenders of Kalos, masked Pokemon trainers. Xavier is the Defenders' biggest fan, but despite working with them for the last 4 years, he still has no idea who they are.
~ The original art picked out for Xavier was actually art of Lucas from Diamond & Pearl. The beret was very French, befitting Kalos, and it made Xavier look a little haughty and dorky, which he kinda is. But canon character art is not allowed for RP characters. RIP beret.
~ The new art for Xavier looks kinda like my avatar for the site. This was unintentional. I noticed just now as I was working on this page. Huh. Cool.
