Innate Abilities

SuperStrength Rage.pngSuper Strength: Xanxus has pushed his body beyond the normal capabilities of a regular Vegan. His race's physical ability is superior to that of most humans with a similar trait.

Regeneration FastHealing.pngRegeneration: The Vegan body is capable of combating most diseases, viruses, and infections much more potently than the average human body. There is also an accelerated metabolism as well as the ability to reproduce cells to heal wounds.

Regeneration Reconstruction.pngCopy: A unique trait that Xan carries is the ability to almost suck a physical ailment out of a fallen ally. His body can copy the abnormalities in his target and redirect them toward his own body. This usually results in a complete restoration of the target and the appearance of the same ailment in Xan.

Lycan Abilities

PowerPunch BuildUp.pngBerserking: Xanxus is capable of unleashing his inner beast. The wolf part of him takes over his mind and degrades it to the level of a wild beast. His strength and speed is increased but his ability to form strategy and determine friend from foe becomes hazy. This generally leads to him getting hurt or hurting others.

Ninjitsu BlindingPowder.pngNight Vision: Xanxus is able to perceive his targets in the dark.

InherentWarshade ShadowStep.pngPerception: In his wolf form, Xanxus's senses are greatly increased. His senses of smell, hearing, and vision are especially enhanced.

SuperSpeed SuperSpeed.pngSpeed: With the expanded mass of his muscles, Xan is able to propel himself across great distances very quickly. This often makes him hard to spot during combat.

Nether Powers

FireTrap.PNGEye of the Mage: Xanxus is able to sense all types of magical auras. He can often be seen uncomfortable around certain people with a particularly powerful or unfamiliar aura.

DarkArmor CloakOfDarkness.pngCloak: Xan is able to force his body into the outermost layer of the Netherworld and travel short distances. In this matter, he appears to vanish from the physical plane and reappear elsewhere, thus the "Cloak".

DarkArmor ObsidianShield.pngResilient Mind: His Nether abilities work in self defense when there is an attempt to probe his mind. This will make the culprit see a dark haze of emptiness and can often lead to complications if they continue trying.

DarkArmor DarkEmbrace.pngNether Manipulation: Unlike most users of Nether energy, Xanxus has mastered the art of manipulating it. He is able to summon it into the physical world in any shape or form he sees fit with a variety of uses.

ShadowFighting StealPower.pngNether Aura: The darkness of the Netherworld can seep out of his body. The aura is capable of clouding nerve signals, causing an individual to lose control of their body, become blind, lose the ability to feel pain, or even become consumed in intense fear.

Other Powers

DarkArmor CloakOfFear.pngChaotic Energy: After being forced to absorb the magics of his master's Orb of Darkness, Xanxus acquired the powers of chaos. This type of magic is an uncontrollable surge of energy that can appear when he has no choice but to use it or be sent to oblivion. The magic is extremely powerful but takes a tremendous toll on Xan's body and mind.

DarkArmor SoulTransfer.pngSoul Energy: After being forced to absorb the magics of his master's Orb of Darkness, Xanxus acquired the powers of soul. This magic is often associated with Xan's chaotic energy and it draws power from the souls that have been trapped in the Orb. The energy can be manipulated in various ways and it often takes a toll on Xan's mind and spirit.

Character History

Growing Up

In the poorest and darkest regions of the planet Vega, there existed a realm known as the Badlands. This place existed to contain all of the rejects of Vegan society: Murderers, rapists, thieves. The monarchy of the planet exiled all outcasts to the Badlands, never to show their faces again in society. It was here, in this criminal infested zone that two young boys were born. They were twins, but not identical. The first to come was named Xezz, the second Xanxus. It was a rare thing for medicine to exist in this region, even for smugglers and thieves. Their mother died during child birth. Growing up in the Badlands was difficult for anyone, but the brothers seemed to have adapted well. From their first day alone on the streets of these slums, they began marking their territory. To live well in this land, one required not just physical prowess, but also a skillful mind. The two already established themselves as leaders of a small brigade of thugs when they were only in their teens. Together they created a small community of Vegans like themselves and tried to live peacefully. But things were not always so. Constant gang wars erupted in the Badlands and the brothers could do little to avoid them. Some believed that they had no second thoughts before engaging in battle.


When the brothers became young adults, things really started to turn bad. After accumulating almost a hundred people into their gang, a rival leader from a different zone of the Badlands challenged them to war. The winner would control both territories. Xanxus and Xezz were cocky, thinking they could overpower the larger numbers with their skill and cunning. When the war broke out, the two proved themselves as the most ruthless warriors. The same could not be said for their gang however. The larger numbers of the rival gang murdered all of the brothers’ fighters and the two were taken by their leader. The man’s name was Xeros, an ex-military leader of the royal army. He was discharged and exiled when he was caught trying to rape a royal woman. The Vegan was smart, cunning, and ruthless. He ordered the death of the brothers by execution.


After being beaten and ravaged by the rival gang and its thugs, the brothers were put on display on the territorial landmark separating the two zones. Xeros took out his pistol and aimed it for Xezz’s head and readied the execution. Suddenly, Xeros’s eyes widened and his hand began to shake. The pistol fell out of his hand onto the ground and he grabbed his head. With a loud screeching scream he ran out of the area. Later the brothers were released and carried home by their neighbors.

History Lesson

When the brothers confronted their father and told him of what happened, he explained to them what actually occurred. The father began telling them about his past. He was a royal advisor to the king many years ago. As a practitioner of the Void sect of Vegan religion, he was bestowed with dark energies of unknown origins. It is said that when one obtains this power, it becomes ingrained in their genes and can be passed on to their children. This was when he told Xanxus that he had these powers as well. The powers that originate in the Netherworld have a unique affect on the minds of mortals. It is capable of clouding nerve signals, causing an individual to lose control of their body, become blind, lose the ability to feel pain, or even become consumed in intense fear. Xanxus practiced his powers from then on, but was careful as to not let them engulf his own mind. He became very isolated and refused his brother, who wished to start up a new gang and avenge himself. Though the Vegan gave up his willingness to fight, he was not completely defenseless. Many tried to kill him in an attempt to take over his and his brother’s territory, but with the help of his powers, he fended them off easily.


Some years later, when the brothers grew into men, their father summoned them for a meeting. He explained to the two that there was a promise made between him and the King of Vega. Even though he was exiled to spend the rest of his days in the Badlands, his children, should they grow to be fine men, would be shipped off to the royal palace and serve in the King’s army. The man expected his sons to be furious and spiteful, but they were quite happy and excited. It was a once in a lifetime chance to leave the forsaken Badlands and have a chance at a real life. The two left on their journey to the royal palace a few days later, never to see their father again.

A New Life

Several years after being inducted into the army, the brothers evolved into quality people. At first it was difficult to assimilate into the high society, but with the help of some very strict commanders, the two were put in their place. They were masters of their weapons and tactics and fought bravely side by side. The two were revered among their battalion by the other soldiers as having a free spirit. Their commanders hated the two for always taking the situation into their own hands. Even though they were molded into fine soldiers, their background of coming from the Badlands kept them wild and free. They believed that these survival traits kept them alive through all the battles.


Then came the Nictus invasion. Xanxus and his brother were boarded onto the Bluestar transport ship with the King and Queen, their close family, the army and a handful of Palace workers. The coordinates were set to an allied planet called Toria, and they began their journey. Whilst travelling through another galaxy, their ship was attacked by a large ship they came to know as the Rikti mothership. The Bluestar plummeted to a planet called Earth, to a place called Mercy Island. Many Vegans perished that day, many were imprisoned or injured. The lucky ones found each other, and tried to rebuild the Bluestar. While on Earth, Xanxus and his brother wasted little time in scouting their immediate surroundings. They assimilated quickly and soon took off their army uniforms. They started wearing jackets and jeans, just like the earthlings. The two became very captivated by Earth women and soon began their streak of sleeping with them. The two became womanizers, in part due to their background of living in the slums. Life on Earth was good for now. There were no battles to fight or commanders to obey without question.

The Beast

Shortly after their landing, a letter came in to the brothers for a reassignment. They were not sure what this meant, were they being promoted or not? They arrived in an isolated area of the Bluestar and found a Vegan officer standing there, though when they inspected the man further, they could see that he was not normal. The man was covered in fur and had tremendous sized fangs, he resembled some sort of beast of Earth but he wore a Vegan uniform. The two engaged him in battle but found him to be too powerful. After incapacitating the two, he bit them on their necks, much like a vampire. When they awoke, they felt strange. It was as If the world around them was somehow clearer. They also felt a new sense of strength and speed, as well as regenerative ability. The surprise came when they were engaged in combat with a group of Arachnos soldiers. When cornered and ready to be executed, the brothers began to change. Their muscles ripped and expanded. Their bones expanded and restructured. Their size near tripled. The two stood no longer as humanoid Vegans but as Lycanthropic beasts. The Arachnos group was eradicated quickly. From this day on the two brothers were to become Inquisitors, under the command of High Inquisitor Xeck, as lycanthropic Vegans.


Their new assignment proved to be quite different. No longer were the two soldiers of the royal army, but they became something more. From now on their division answered directly to the Queen. They were now in charge of military assassinations, espionage, and other forms of Black Operations, they became Inquisitor Xanxus and Inquisitor Xezz. Their skills grew to new heights, as did their control over the beasts within them.

The Shadow Crescent

Over time, the Inquisitorial division of the Vegan military broke off from the monarchial rule of the Queen. High Inquisitor Xeck established a new order known as the Shadow Crescent. With the help of the brothers, he delved into the ancient magic of the Netherworld. Months later, when Xanxus was returning to his master’s lair, he found a tear in the fabric of space. Tentacles emerging from the Netherworld itself were lashing out of the tear and absorbing the area. Xanxus’s powers were simply not powerful enough to close this tear from the outside, so he plummeted inside of the tear in an attempt to close it from within. He disappeared for over two years, lost inside the Netherworld.

Incident

While trapped in the Netherworld, Xanxus experienced a world of misery. The world can best be described as a total void. In this world, Xan walked on endlessly and without tiring while his mind was under constant attack by the realm’s energies. Much like his own Nether powers, the energies attacked his body and mind causing him fear as well as physical pain. He managed to survive however, because of his training alongside his master. Time in the Netherworld seemed to last much longer and over the span of two Earth years, Xan had aged almost ten years.

The Return

With the help of a human host and a human-shadowling hybrid named Mirey, Xanxus was returned to the physical realm. Upon his return, his entire race had vanished. Not only were his master and brother gone, but the rest of the Vegans up and left Earth for another planet. He aligned himself with an old friend of Queen Xena, Clint Sanders aka Unleashed Force. After working with them for a short while and re-establishing himself back on Earth, he decided to start up his own company.

Since then...

Inquisitor Xanxus started up his own company alongside his friend Dr. Kazz that specialized in off-world resource extraction and trade. Though with the constant absence of his partner, Xan was unable to handle the high demands of the company and surrendered ownership to his close friend Shiryat Yieto.

While looking through an old, left over database of the Vegan Empire, Xanxus located many files. One of these files explicitly stated that he had another Vegan brother, one Xeos Zelsar who also remained on Earth. Upon locating the other Vegan, they quickly became close and bonded as brothers.

While travelling through the Netherworld in search of his master and brother, Xan found himself on an alternate plane. The world was inhabited by wolf-like creatures somewhat resembling his old lycan master. There also existed a link between this world and the Netherworld that was much less subtle and travel simpler. Xan was taken hostage by the inhabitants and tested on. They eventually released him with several enchanted metallic items that he brought back to Earth.

Xan was sleeping when he had a dream. In this dream he heard the whisper of his master, Xeck. Instead of reuniting with his master, Xan encountered the Orb of Darkness. The orb was a powerful magical item that trapped souls and fused them with a chaotic energy. In the dream, the orb relayed its powers into Xan’s body and when he awoke, the powers were in control. It took him some time and the near loss of his friend Mirey to establish a control of these new powers. They lay dormant.

In the most recent past, Xanxus joined up with the Phoenix Company. He is back to doing what he does best and makes money while doing it.
