nightelf37: Now it's your turn, LeviathanTamer. Wow. This is something new.


Fictional Work: Aztec Mythology

Character: Xolotl, God of Lightning, Illness, and Bad Luck. Representative of Death and Guide for Lost Souls.

Name: Tlitic "Xolotl" Itzcuintli

(Black Dog in Nahuatl. I'm gonna go with the 'theory that Xolotl is his birth name, but Tiltic is his registered name in the Kingdoms.)

Gender: Male

Backstory: In the deep depths of the Menagerie jungle live several tribes. Xolotl was born to one of these tribes along with his twin brother Quetzalcoatl. Upon being born, they were named as the reincarnations of their gods due to the similarity to the legends. There, Xolotl was treated less than the dirt he walked on and stepped on nearly twice as much with only his brother ever respecting him. This abuse peaked at the age of 10 when he was framed for a murder, resulting in him fleeing to the jungle where a Death Stalker is one of the weakest Grimm. It took his brother three years to find him and bring him back after revealing the truth. Now at the age of 17, his tribes have been discovered by the rest of the world and as a show of peace they exchanged warriors so they could learn from each other. So now, Xolotl attends Beacon Academy as a transfer student with his brother Quetzalcoatl.

Appearance: Xolotl wears a very plain light brown cloak, with a tunic underneath that is just as plain. His body is very pale and thin due to how the tribe treated him, but despite that he's still stronger than the average human. He's what's known as a Double-Traited Faunus, a type of faunus that only exists in Deep Menagerie. He has the ears of a dog and the gills of an axolotl. Across his body are numerous scars from his life in the tribes, ranging from slashes across his chest to burnt spots that were far too injured to ever fully heal. He also bears a Storm Dust Crystal embedded in his chest as part of a ceremony.

Personality: Xolotl is incredibly cautious around strangers as he doesn't want to give them a reason to hurt him. However, to friends, he acts like an incredibly loyal servant. He doesn't want anyone to suffer what he went through, so he'll paint himself as a target if it means stopping a bully or worse. Due to his past, he hHas next to no self-esteem.

Weapon: Xolotl wields a modernized macuahuitl (a wooden sword that also doubles as a club and has obsidian shards at the edges) composed of titanium. It can split itself down the middle and unfold to make a bow. This form can channel the Storm Dust in his chest into an arrow-like form, but is otherwise useless with actual arrows.

Semblance: Xolotl calls his Semblance Death's Shadow. He has the ability to disable a being's senses without fail, and can choose what they can and can't see. It serves as a great intimidation factor, and it got its name from survivors who felt like their senses were literally as functional as they would be if they were dead. This Semblance creates a black mist around whatever sense is being blocked, but this is shown merely as a marker and has no effects of its own.

His Aura is odd, because unlike most it doesn't simply block attacks. Instead, it redirects them or causes the device/ability to malfunction completely. As a result, his Aura next-to-never takes a hit and therefore barely gets depleted. Even guns at point-blank range will always fail and bullets will always be redirected. It also has an absurdly high regeneration factor, though it can be overpowered if the ability is strong enough that his Aura can't disperse it and it isn't close enough to be disrupted.

Fighting Style: Reckless Defender and Suicidal Assault. Xolotl is a self-proclaimed living shield, and will normally place himself between any attack as it is most likely never going to be fatal. When ordered to attack, he will aim for the commander or largest threat in a way that would normally be absolutely suicidal for anyone but him. This makes him an important member as he's either an Absolute Defense or an Absolute Attack.

Hobbies/Interests: He plays the flute for his brother every night to ease him to sleep but eventually started expanding to different instruments, especially when he reached Vale.

Dislikes: Bullies and anyone that threatens what he cares about.
