Appearance:


-The Past-

Xaier's hair is usually a little grown, but he wouldn't call it long. His natural hair color was probably what stuck out most about him, along with those silver irises. He's a handsome young man and physically fit as well. While toned and muscular, he is on the leaner side of the scale and as close to peak physical condition as he possibly can be.

Xaier has a varied attire. Ranging from 'wife-beaters' to fancy dress shirts. Slacks to cargos. Skateboarding shoes of various make usually adorn his feet. He doesn't usually wear any kind of jewelry, apart from a plain silver necklace given to him by his grandmother.

-The Present-

The biggest changes in Xaier's appearance is that a large scarred section of burned skin tissue covers from the upper part of his left cheek, over his eye and onto his forehead. Apart from that, he has grown a tiny bit taller and put a little more weight on, though he is still in excellent condition. However, when Xaier activates his gifts, the left portion of his hair turns red when his fire abilities are in use.

Occupation: Former Apostle - Trainer

Personality:



-The Past-

Xaier is an all around good kid. As long as you treat him right, he will treat you right. Most of the time the sophomore resides on the quiet side, however if you get him talking sometimes it seems he won't ever shut up. He has a pretty good sense of humor and rarely allows other peoples words or opinions to influence his actions.

Xaier isn't the type to shy away from conflict, as long as he believes it is justified. He has great disdain for those who like to push and bully other people around. He had always been raised to stand up against that kind of nonsense. He also enjoys protecting those that can't protect themselves, even if he ended up putting himself in harms way.

He's usually a caring person, willing to listen and help people in any way he can. He values friendship a lot and there is little he won't do to help a friend in need. However when it comes to girls, he can tend to get a little shy. He's never had a girlfriend, choosing to focus on training and school work instead of chasing tail.

-The Present-

The shining beacon of light that was once Xaier, seemed to be dulled and tarnished to the point of a near unrecognizable state for those who might have know him in the past. While he is still not aggressive in nature, his spark seemed to be gone. He isn't nearly as out-going as he use to be and most of the time he simply seemed to be in some sort of daze, shell-shocked since the night of his incident. While he still looks to ensure other peoples safety, he seemed to have lost all the confidence he once held in himself. Xaier started to develope a nihilistic outlook on life, casting aside whatever beliefs he had in a god or 'gods'.

However his sense of justice and yearning for order are still strong and present within him and he dislikes those that threaten those ideals. At one point he would had done whatever he could to prevent physical altercations, but those days had passed. Now more than ever, while he won't generally persue it, he is willing to combat people verbally or physically if needed. There is however, still a kindness within him that can shine through at moments. The warmth thst use to acompany him can still be found if he decides to let you in.

Background:

-The Past-
Xaier McCaine grew up in an interesting lifestyle early on. His mother was a stay at home mom and his father had been in the military for nearly 17 years. This meant that Xaier was constantly shifted around the country whenever his father was deployed to different bases. It had been hard on Xaier at first, to make friends only to have to leave them behind in a year or two. Growing up in military bases hadn't been all that bad though. He had got to see a lot of the country and even some places outside of the Americas. Ultimately though his Father, Brendan, had decided to retire and settled his family in the wonderful state of New York.

While his family was far from poor, Xaier had argued countless times against being sent to a private school and that meant he would land his sophomore year at a high-school with quite the reputation of violence and crime. Still it did not matter, to him it was better than being held up in a building full of snobby rich kids. Part of Xaier was anxious because he knew it wasn't going to be an easy ride, while the other half of him was excited to see the place for himself. He knew as well as his father did, that it would be good for him. Experiences in such a place built character and strength.

Life was what you made it, no matter where you were. Xaier knew there would be many choices to make, but the path to him was clear. #552 was a place that needed help. And Xaier planned to do whatever he could to make it better for everyone. Even if that meant raising his fists against those that looked to harm with little reason. His father had served this country with pride, so Xaier would serve his community in the same way. And so began the future of a young protector in the making. However it seemed fate would force upon him hard choices. Conflict grew and Xaier had believe in the system that had been brought about. While his intentions were pure, he had decided to become an Apostle even amidst the bitter resentment the group had brought with it, believing law and order were the answer to their problems of chaos. Some chose to view him as a villain, but he had hoped to bring peace, not stoke the flames higher. The District ultimately collapsed and with it Xaier's goals. Unsure what to do, he fled in search of new purpose and direction.

-Before Arrival-

After traveling from place to place, seeking refuge in silence, he eventually found his way to an orphanage and put aside the vigilante mantle he had donned during his time in San Francisco. What had started out as a part-time job helping to care for the children there soon became one of the few things he truely found fulfilling. Xaier soon grew attached to a young woman named Holly, who was the primary care-taker there. He had seemed to find serenity and peace at last. However, it seemed the happiness he found would only be temporary. Fond memories to be recalled, before it all shattered into pieces.

All the children at the orphanage were gifted, some of which appeared to have gifts highly sought after. One fateful night, the orphanage was beset upon by a group of masked individuals. Despite his attempts to protect the orphanage, he was caught off-guard and over-powered. It was a process that left Xaier forever scarred, mentally and physically. During the scuffle, the left side of Xaier's face had been burnt, leaving scar tissue from the upper part of his cheek, left eye and forehead. He succumbed to injuries and passed out.

When he awoke, his entire world seemed to break apart. Isa had gone missing, five of the younger orphans were kidnapped and the three eldest were dead, while the orphanage was set ablaze. The use of gifts seemed to garner attention from those interested in such things, namely Astraeus Insititute. Xaier's name had appeared in a local paper within the states and soon after the young silver haired man had been approached by none other than Luca Walker himself and offered a position within the institute as a trainer.

Xaier wouldn't reply to the offer for a while, unsure of what he wanted to do. He was lost, emotional and struggling to piece himself back together. Eventually he would chose to accept, deeming it better for him to keep himself busy rather than let himself be swallowed whole by sorrow and tradgedy. He didn't know what to expect or even what he was getting himself into, nor did he really care. Xaier McCaine was simply going through the motions. Some day he hoped he could find a path toward healing and redemption.
