a little like name the class with a twist, only you don’t name the person above you’s character, you just name yours. i thought this would be fun to take to the writers’ forum as well, as it involves a lot of character creation and plot development!!

personality: xavier’s a very nonchalant and sometimes sardonic man, which can be his biggest fault at times. however, he’s a very creative and intelligent man, and part of the reason he got into teaching art for sophomores was because it inspired him. his father wanted him to be a professor, but he decided to get into another form of teaching. xavier isn’t on the best of terms with the man, and hates that david married so soon after the death of bella, his mother, who he absolutely adored and looked up to a lot. he tries not to hold it against nim, he knows it’s not her fault. xavier is very close with his twin, bastian, and his sister olivia. he’s also very close with all his students and encourages them to pursue creativity in all forms, which is why he decided to teach studio art as it allowed for more creative wiggle room. apart from teaching, he runs an art gallery with his fiancé, emmanuel, who he lives with in downtown new york. they actually met at an art convention three years ago, and that fateful day was the day xavier decided emmanuel was the most beautiful man he’d ever met. the two are set to get married in october of 2023, and hope to start adopting children soon after that.
appearance: xavier is 6’0 tall, with a lean but muscular build from working out and running, two of xavier’s favorite pasttimes besides painting and art. his eyes are icy blue, and he has a very sharp jawline with light pale skin. his hair is curly and brown, and falls in his eyes a bit. he has piercings, an antihelix on both ears and an industrial on one, and likes wearing cool jewelry such as an arrow for the industrial. his choice in wardrobe is as edgy as his choice in jewelry, and he likes to wear cardigans, particularly black ones, as well as black jeans and occasionally paint-stained overalls to class. he also has some tattoos- a paint palette on his lower back, a “follow your dreams” in cursive on his arm, and emmanuel’s name on his hand with a small heart next to it.
