He is massive, standing nearly seven feet tall, and weighs in at 300lbs. He is packed head to toe with powerful, well-defined muscle mass, and covered in a pattern across his body that upon closer inspection appear to be dragon-like scales. His teeth are sharper than normal, resembling fangs. And his fingernails and toenails more similar to claws than nails, as they appear to be made of bone and not keratin. <br/><br/>Perhaps most noticeable is a thick, saurian tail that sprouts from his tailbone just above his butt. The tail is  scaly and slightly darker than Xenyora himself. It is nearly as long as he is tall, and while he usually keeps it wrapped around his waist like a belt, it is prehensile and he uses it as a fifth limb. He also has more than a few scars, the result of a life of constant training, travel, and combat. He has dark, thick hair that he used to keep braided, but has since shaved and now keeps his head bald. He has powerful, chiseled features, the most noticeable of which are his intense and reptilian, golden eyes, which tend to glow with energy when he is excited. He also exudes golden light when using his chi abilities.<br/><br/>He wears a multitude of free flowing clothing typically associated with monks like robes, vests, long pants and wrapped boots. He also possesses a golden ceremonial armor piece that covers parts of his chest, back, and arms. It is a family heirloom that he wears at almost all times. Unlike most people who ride Chocobo's or use vehicles, Xen's mount is a large LeoWulf named Feyrun (https://i.pinimg.com/564x/46/bd/53/46bd53d4cef04dc8eec16f30fa942a2e.jpg) he's raised from a cub.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Despite looking like the most stoic man in the world upon first glance, Xen is actually quite happy-go-lucky and open with his emotions once you get to know him. He spent the first few years of his life in intense training, never leaving his birthplace, so he is extremely excited about practically everything, as many of the things he's experiencing are brand new to him. This means at times he can be somewhat naiive and seem something of a dullard, although he is actually rather intelligent so it's more a case of lack of exposure than stupidity. For those who don't try to take advantage, they find the Monk is quite friendly and charming, and for this reason Xen more often than not leaves places he's visited with people speaking kindly about the "large, helpful monk". He has more friends and allies than he knows.<br/><br/>He can get fairly serious, but this is mainly during mediation, or situations where his, or someone else's life is in serious danger. Aside from that, he's quite expressive. He is faithful to the Quartet, although he is no zealot. One of his main passions in life is gaining strength, and testing that might against worthy opponents. <br/><br/>He's been called "Battle Junkie" before, and that's an appropriate name since he does indeed love battle more than most things. Despite looking like he's chiseled from solid stone, one of the few things Xen enjoys as much as fighting is good food. Due to growing up on a rather bland, yet efficient diet, good and gourmet food is something that has been an extreme rarity in Xen's life, as well as things like juice and alcohol. <br/><br/>So he will often stuff himself silly and then train like mad afterwards to burn off the calories when he discovers a new menu item he's never seen or tasted before. Xen believes he will find enlightenment once he tests himself against the most powerful monsters and fighters in the world, and one day hopes to fight the Quartet themselves to see the true glory of the Gods and witness their power up close and personal. It is his ultimate goal.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> Xen is steadfast and righteous, and he will never stand by and watch evils or atrocities be committed in his presence; nor will he ever ignore a situation where he may be able to help in some way. He is a loyal comrade-in-arms, and would never hurt or betray those who put their trust in him. He will put himself directly in harms way to protect those who deserve it, from innocents to people he considers friends and allies. Despite being primarily Xen's mount and close friend, Feyrun is a fully grown LeoWulf and is great help in battles against monsters in the wild. And as his species are incredibly intelligent and capable of speech, he brings companionship and advice to those who ask. Having had many failures and setbacks in life, he can do wonders to life his teammates spirit and morale, usually with a story and an explanation of a particular scar he's got and how he got it.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Perhaps Xen's biggest weakness is his love, some would say <em>lust</em> for battle. While most would avoid fighting if they can, not only does he not avoid it, he actively seeks it out. He often challenges random people and finds monsters just to see if they're up to snuff. His naivete can also cause complications as he's lost money and gear in the past due to a misunderstanding or someone taking advantage of his relative inexperience with the wider world. His big heart is also an issue, as going out of his way to help almost everyone he can can oftentimes put him and anyone associated with him in unwanted peril or situations because he's too kind to ignore someone who could use his help.<br/><br/><strong>Religion:</strong> The Quartet<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong> On the same continent as Ramduna, but about as far South as it's possible to go before hitting ocean is a robust coalition of nomadic and settled cities and villages who are collectively known as <strong>"Vajraana"</strong> or more officially, <strong>"The Vajraanan Union"</strong> and <strong>"The Free States of Vajraana"</strong>. The largest settled city called <strong>"Naravan"</strong> is considered the capital and trade center of the Union, and it also serves as the home of a Warrior Sect who call themselves <strong>"The Immortal Path"</strong>, and while each members individual religion varies, they all agree to a singular idea that those who are strong must not only protect those who are weak, but they must attain the highest level of enlightenment they can through combat. The ultimate goal of Path Walkers is to become strong enough to fight the Gods, although so far none have reached that level of enlightenment to learn from the Quartet themselves.<br/><br/>The Monks of the Path, or "Path Walkers" as they are more often referred to, have become highly respected over the centuries, and are seen as welcome sights in all parts of the world due to their friendly ways and powerful warriors who often help cull monster populations, bandits, etc... during their travels across Chronus. Some even become mercenaries to fund their travels. Naravan thrives because in the harsh southern deserts, rain is hard to come by, but Naravan was carved into the base of a gigantic mountain range called "The Spire" that has supernatural storms constantly and is filled with monsters, especially near the peak, which the Path Walkers use for training. These storms originate at the peak of the mountain, but often flow out over the land, and almost always bless the city with rain and cool temperatures. This allows for agriculture and comfort in the otherwise rough and arid climate. Also, as they are directly South from the Kitchen City, they have constant trade with them for rare and local food and wares that can only be found, grown or crafted in the territory of the Union and vice versa. They also benefit from large port that ships passing between the two continents frequent, as well as other sea and airbound merchants.<br/><br/>Two highly revered warriors priests of the Path, Eska and Tora, were deeply in love and had been since they both adopted the Immortal Path when they were younger. They did everything together and were seen as an unstoppable team. During one monster encounter however, Eska was impaled by the creature's poisonous and diseased claws. The pair survived and killed the monster, but by the time they got her healed, the damage done to her ovaries was too severe and when they couldn't conceive a year later, they discovered the reason. This did not deter them and after searching for months, they found an Altar Fruit. The couple made their wish, that they would be blessed with a child who would make them proud. <br/><br/>Shortly after, they were blessed with a healthy baby boy and the child that came into the world was named Xenyora, after an ancient warrior who'd eaten the fruit to gain his powers. He had sacrificed everything to protect those he cared about, and he had been one of the founders of Naravan, but the only one who died stopping an invasion to the fledgling country. They loved him dearly, and Xenyora was raised from birth within the Immortal Path, and has known only that his whole life. As he grew, he became much larger than the other children his age, and even the older ones. He was faster, stronger, a better fighter. He was <em>different</em>. He even came home with a LeoWulf cub after he'd tried to help his mother fight off a group of monsters who had attacked them.<br/><br/>She didn't survive, but he has cared for the pup he named Feyrun since that day. And then one day he woke up with the scale pattern that covers nearly his entire body. His parents always knew he was special because he was birthed from the fruit, but seeing him grow and change in front of their very eyes convinced them that he could be the first walker of the Path to grow strong enough to challenge the Gods and prove that humans were indeed worthy of their notice. His entire life seemingly led up to the moment when the King of Caerduja announced the Grand Tournament. He and several of his brothers and sisters in arms answered the call, and have come to Caerduja to show the might of the Immortal Path. Xenyora isn't there for the money, nor the land, nor the fruit(although he'll accept them if he wins). The reason he is there is to learn from the myriad of warriors in attendance, and prove his strength to the masses.   </span><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Equipment &amp; Stats</span></span><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><strong>Occupation:</strong> Monk<br/><br/><strong>Weapon</strong> <br/><em>Weapon Name:</em> Fists Of Iron<br/><em>Type:</em> Gloves<br/><em>Tier:</em> <em>Green</em><br/><em>Material:</em> Wood<br/><em>Bonus(es):</em>  +2 PA/MA, +4MP<br/><br/><strong>Armor</strong><br/><em>Description:</em> A golden "framework" that covers portions of his upper body likely to take the most damage through attack and defense.<br/><em>Tier:</em> <em>Green</em><br/><em>Material:</em> Wood<br/><em>Bonus(es):</em> +3PD/+4 MD, +5HP<br/><br/><strong>Accessory 1:</strong><br/><em>Tier:</em><br/><strong>Accessory 2:</strong><br/><em>Tier:</em><br/><br/><strong>Tier:</strong> Green<br/><strong>Level:</strong> 1/10<br/><strong>HP:</strong> 13(19)<br/><strong>MP:</strong> 9<br/><strong>Physical Attack:</strong> 12<br/><strong>Physical Defense:</strong> 13<br/><strong>Magic Attack:</strong> 7<br/><strong>Magic Defense:</strong> 9<br/><strong>Luck:</strong> 0<br/><strong>XP:</strong> 0/10<br/><br/><strong>Skills</strong><br/>1) <em>Whirlwind:</em> A spinning leg attack that damages all enemies.<br/><em>Base:</em> Kick<br/><em>Tier:</em> <em>Green</em><br/><br/>2) <em>Way of the Warrior(Passive) :</em> Xenyora's HP is raised by a set percentage per color level, and raises by 10% per color level. 30% &gt; 40% &gt; 50%.
