HALLOWED BY MY OWN RIGHT[/color][/font][/center]
[li] Druid Blood; A stronger form of magic than the average witch or even a warlock posseses, the blood which runs though Xavier's veins is ancient and almost purely magical. His magical power, as a result, is extremely great.
[/li][li] Rune Stones; The spells which Xavier is able to perform (or will be, with more training) appear to be much more simple than the ones cast by witches. Instead of the wide range of ingredients which they use, his power centres around a set of rune stones (passed down through his family for generations). Each one uses a different element to draw upon for power, or the earth itself. He can also 'ask them', which is a sort of fortune telling. Only often much more terrifyingly accurate.
[/li][li] Strong Will; For the type of magic that Xavier was, basically, bred for, a strong will is needed. As a child, he was always told to strive for what he wanted, and not to let anything get in his way. His will at getting what he wants translates over to his magic.
[/li][li] Storyteller; Xavier is good with words. He loves to talk as much as he loves to read, and can make his words weave stories around almost anyone, enchanting them by that alone. This also makes him an acclompished liar, whatever the occasion.
[/li][li] Imaginative; Not getting on well with other people his age is partly because of the fact that Xavier's a boy who was always creating his own world. He enjoys watching others, and coming up with stories around them in his head. As a child, he was always playing imaginary games by himself, and it's a trait which has never really been lost.
[/li][li] Open Minded; He doesn't like labels. He doesn't like judging other people by how others talk to them, or how their friends act. He will pretty much accept anyone, and hates it when other people don't do the same. He doesn't really care about how people look, and as a result, is rarely affected when other's pick on him for how he looks. He just doesn't bother with anything like that.
[/li][li] Friendly; The first time you meet him, he is friendly. If you pass him by, he'll smile at you, he might join in with conversations if you start them first, and rarely says a bad word about anyone. It's easy enough to like him to begin with...until something doesn't go right.
[/li][li] Adventurous; Xavier isn't afraid to go against the norm and try new things. So yes, sometimes he might come in one day with his hair bright blue from a failed dying attempt, or he might get stuck up a tree simply after seeing how high he can go. He might, one day quite suddenly, go and sit with the popular crowd for no other reason than there is a seat. It's hard to make him scared, really.
WEAKNESSES
[/li][li] Addicted to Magic; The feeling of magic is like no other, and Xavier has had that feeling for most of his life. Once he starts a spell, he doesn't want to let go of it. The feeling of power is intoxicating, and if he gives into his desires, it may result in taking him over completely.
[/li][li] Quiet; He prefers to sit down with a good book rather than going out and interacting with other people. He doesn't really voice his own opinion is discussions (unless it's on a topic which he feels extremely strongly for), and can quite easily be overlooked.
[/li][li] Short Temper; Or, in other words, the fact that he is rather prone to having strops. He is pleasent enough when everything is going his way, but as soon as he doesn't, he'll most likely snap and argue and fight until he gets his own way back again. His strong will means he has a short temper, and despite the fact that he can make friends easily, this factor usually means he doesn't keep them long.
[/li][li] Untrustful; Despite the fact that he is quite happy to get along with anyone who's friendly to him, it's extremely rare for Xavier to actually trust someone enough to let them close.
[/li][li] Stubborn; He doesn't like to be told what to do, or to be told he can't do something. He rarely listens to advice, not that it's given often, and only accepts help when he knows there is no other choice. Doing things by himself is a good idea.
[/li][li] Secluded; Despite being Open Minded about everyone, and friendly enough, he isn't someone in the centre of the popular crowd. He's known by almost everyone, but people simply gloss over him. Most of his time, he spends on his own.
[/li][li] Too Much To Control; The amount of power that a druid has requires an awful lot of control. Xavier has the will to keep it controlled, but sometimes he has too much and a little bit of power escapes. And when it doesn't escape, it more often than not builds up inside him, and is released when he gets angry.

[li] Magic; How is works, and what it can do - everything about magic fascinates him. He always wants to know more about it, more about how he can use it.
[/li][li] Reading; He can sit for hours with a book, losing himself in the world that the words make in his mind. His favourite books are fantasy novels, really. Books about magic and the world which he knows he is part of. He likes to compare different takes as well, and hopes to write stories of his own someday.
[/li][li] Nature; More animals than plants, really, but he loves it all. In a rather...poetic way, perhaps, but still.
[/li][li] Djaq; (pronouced Jack) His pet snake - a red, white and black banded corn snake, only large enough to wrap around his wrist four times. She's small, and harmless, and he loves her anyway.
[/li][li] Writing; He writes when he's feeling down, and has been keeping a journal all his life. His words come easily, though sometimes without any skill at all, but he loves the freedom of being able to put the words down on paper.
[/li][li] The Rune Stones; More often than not, he'll have them on him. Or one of them with him, in his pocket, depending on his mood for the day. Apparantly it's unwise...but they are a link to his family, and he doesn't feel right going somewhere without them.
[/li][li] His sister; She's in care, so he rarely gets to see her, but his little sister is the person he loves the most. He honestly thinks he would kill anyone who tried to hurt her.
DISLIKES
[/li][li] Meat; He's a vegetarian, and not only because of his love of nature. Logically, he knows that meat is essential, but quite simply, the taste of any sort of meat makes him feel rather ill. He can barely stomach the gellatin filled sweets.
[/li][li] Bullies; Do they have anything better to do with their time, seriously? He honestly does not see the point in picking on anyone.
[/li][li] The Line Between Light and Dark Magic; He doesn't see the point of it. Light spells can be used for dark purposes and dark spells can be used for light. Using only light spells to fight against demons and such, as his parents always told him about (when they were alive), won't do half as much good as using both.
[/li][li] Being Picked On; He doesn't really care what people say about him, and it doesn't upset him - it's just irritating. So what if he wears the same clothes sometimes more than twice in a row, if the washing machine's on the blink?
[/li][li] Messy Eaters; Okay, so he isn't one to judge...but that is really gross.

runes you were concealed
[/i][/color][/font]IN THE DUST OF ANCIENT TIMES[/color][/font][/center]
Xavier wasn't born in a town, or a city, or anywhere that had a large population. He was born in a small mountain town in Montana, in a close neighbourhood, and grew up surrounded by nature. As a young child, he was independant, and would most often spend his days outside, playing by himself, rather than joining in with any games of football or tag like other boys his age. Both of his parents were park rangers, and they had a happy existance. They weren't ignorant of magic, however - his mother had the druid blood that was passed onto him, and enjoyed teaching her son the beginners points of magic. She was the one who gave him the rune stones, and let him play with them as a child.
Everything was fine with his life, however, until his mother got into an accident while they were on a family camping trip. She fell, was hurt badly, and had to give birth to his baby sister Alana prematurely, without medical assistance. His mother died before anyone more medically experienced than his father could get there.
His father relocated immediently away from the town, moving straight to New York instead, after his boss put him forward for a job at New York Zoo. Xavier and Alana were left in the care of childminders more often than not, but money was scare, so Xavier was usually the one who stayed home from school to look after the baby. This was when he first started trying to see if he could use magic to make things easier - to help his sister, and his father. He was a boy, who just wanted to help, but his mother's memory meant that his will was strong enough to achieve most of what he wanted.
Xavier always wanted to continue with his education, though, despite often not seeming like it, and so concentrated at high school. By the time he graduated, the amount of money and his scores were just enough for him to get a place at UC Sunnydale, the lower end of the uni's around, but one in which he could study. He moved from New York to Sunnydale on his own - his father not willing to risk losing his job, and his sister too young to stay with him.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Xavier's not exactly new to the magic thing, but he needs training, and the area of magic is rather different to quite a lot else. I can see him helping out, perhaps, in the fight against the vampires, but also trying to settle in and attempt to make friends for the first time in his life. His magic is strong though, so that could come out at a later date, over-riding the rest of him and making him a big bad in his own right. In the far, far, future, of course xP
