Xavier is a variety of things. He managed to fix his father's formulas to finalize the process to become a Zero, stubbornly keeping with the project even when it seemed impossible. He can follow a path of logic in order to make things happen and always looks towards the next day, ready to bring the future one day closer to happening with bright new ideas to try to enchant people. In spite of that, however, he's more or less attached to his Zero Project by the hip, dead set on finishing the work his father has started. He wants to try to continue what his father started, making a better, stronger unit with the Zeros. To that end, he will go to any lengths to improve it, even if it means asking all kinds of inappropriate questions. Any information that might give an edge to finding something else out is squirreled away, which can lead him to asking extremely intimate questions about his subjects' sex lives without being prompted and even following them to receive an answer to an ignored question. He also holds a slight grudge over the fact that the first person he ever gave his heart to instead rejected him after stating that he was beginning to return the sentiment. He tries to ignore it and pretend that it never happened, but sometimes he's just unable to help himself. He'll react in entirely petty and childish ways if that's what it takes to make him forget the ache of having been rejected and having erased any chances with his first love. |

Xavier's father, Azrael Devonshire was married long before he met the boy's eventual mother, Vivian Islandevski - to science. The man had been obsessed with the bonds that held a unit pair together, how the simple fact that some people shared a bond powerful enough to make them endure together, while others could not. He was fascinated with the bonds, and even as he was working in college as an intern investigating such things, he could not deny the draw. He wanted to be able to make his own version of this. He wanted to improve upon what nature had bestowed onto people. He wanted to give some people the ability to join a unit, to throw spells around - to be bound to the one person who was guaranteed to understand you for who you were. His theories were extensive, his mathematics flawless: The one thing standing in his way was a lack of funding. He could not afford to test his theory. It was unethical to test such a thing even on volunteers. He had not the funds to purchase the equipment he needed to create the serums that would, in theory, course through a body and sever the attachments to a unit to create a new one, unique and far stronger than anything that had been there before. Bitterly, he vented his frustrations to the one person who understood him best, his own other half. Vivian was sympathetic, offering him support, encouraging him to continue exploring. So what if it was only theoretical? He was an intelligent man, and she never thought he would go as far as he did. As she grew heavy with a child, Azrael's child, the man grew increasingly defensive. He would isolate himself inside his laboratory. He would mutter about how close he was to a breakthrough, how he merely needed a little more money and he could crack the entire thing wide open. He grew secretive, but Vivian didn't think anything of it. He had always kept his work close to him, and so what if he sounded a little paranoid with his mutterings about how one of his coworkers would take away his discovery? It had happened before, so it sounded normal. She gave birth to a young child, Xavier, but if she thought the birth of their child would bring her love back to her, she was wrong. Azrael grew even more determined to isolate himself in his lab, and when Xavier displayed a talent for science, the elder began to educate his son on the theory. Xavier grew up attempting to solve the rudimentaries of the equations that his father had already worked time and again, and as such, often what few friends he would make in school would only desert him when they realized that he was almost as enthusiastic about the project as his father was, the difference being that Xavier's excitement came from childish innocence while Azrael's came from defeating nature. It was when Xavier was ten, however, that everything changed. Azrael had been getting funding secretly from a board of directors wanting to exploit the concept he had proposed, and it was when his child was ten that he finished his original formula. He used himself as a test subject, but as he tweaked the formula, he made a mistake. He was supposed to be improving the bonds in an existing unit. Instead, he had severed what bonds he had, becoming the first successful Zero. However, the change had left him entirely fragile and harsh, and when his own wife and child expressed a fear of what he had become, he snapped. Azrael forced Vivian to become a Zero as well, and when he went after Xavier as well, Vivian did the only thing that she could. She restrained her husband long enough for Xavier to escape, unaware that in the process, she had killed the man that she loved. Shaken upon the realization of what she had done, she attempted to take her own life, but Xavier had called the police, and as a result, the woman was saved, albeit shut up in an asylum where she spent her days calling for her dead love and reopening the stab wound in her chest. Xavier was put into the foster program and visited her once a week despite the pain that it caused him seeing her so obviously ignoring everyone around her and content only when she was drugged and speaking to a figure who was never there, pleading with him to take her with him. When she managed to end up in the hospital three years later, hooked up to life support and on the verge of death, he didn't have the heart to wait for her to wake up from a coma she might never come out of. Instead, he gave the order for the hospital to pull the plug, and buried her in a plot next to his father. Life went on for the young man. He graduated from Rosewood Academy and enrolled in the University of Clearwater, but it was while he was there that he realized something... strange was going on. There was a problem that he'd glanced at on the blackboards of his science professor, one that was very familiar. His father's paranoia came back to him in a flash, and he realized that perhaps Azrael hadn't been as insane as his mother had thought. Someone had tried - and had apparently succeeded - to steal his father's work, and although they had solved some parts of the math that his father had miscalculated on, the procedure was still far from perfected. And now, years later, when he was finally at a point where he could understand the math, he realized that he could fix it. He took an empty room and started working. He wanted to find where his father had gone wrong, fix the mistakes - finish the work that Azrael had begun. He found some of the answers, but before he could make the final leaps that he needed to, his professor walked in on him. The man had been searching for answers for months, and eighteen or not, it was obvious that Xavier had them. The male was taken before the leaders of the project and given an offer he couldn't refuse: the entirety of his college would be paid off and he'd be offered a position in the group as soon as he graduated. He just had to solve the problem his father had created. Xavier agreed, and within a year, he and the other scientists had perfected the formula to create a Zero. As promised, after he graduated, he obtained a position as one of the scientists in the project he had created. What he had not foreseen was that he would fall in love with a man who came through the doors to become a Zero. He came to love the other, and he soon found himself reluctant to try to make the other male a Zero. He wanted to try to make things work, to see if he could possibly belong to someone else. He was twenty-eight, he wanted the chance to try to settle down with someone. But the other insisted, and Xavier turned him into a Zero. Only... things didn't work out like he'd thought they would. The new Zero fell for the partner that Xavier assigned him, and as if to add insult to injury, he found his unit name on the back of his neck. Erased. Just like what happened to a Zero's original unit name. It seemed even in his love life, he would not be permitted to escape his father's legacy. He tried his best to distance himself from such emotions and move on, instead throwing himself into his work, and if it's painful sometimes turning people into Zeros, he doesn't betray the secret. Instead, he pursues the future through the project that has taken up his life. So what if he's only getting older and his Fighter hasn't appeared yet? He's going to improve the world with his discoveries about units, and that's what matters, in the end. |
