I warn you! Super long description of my OC! Relationship with Connor(male): Pretty good friends. He helps Connor climb out of his shell by introducing him to people and bringing him to concerts and such...sometimes. Other times, he just helps Jay tease him but in small doses. Relationship with Leo(female): Enemies. They disagree on many topics to the point when they're screaming at each other. For him, honestly, Leo a bit too energetic and playful for his tastes. Relationship with Jay(male): Friends...sorta. They share many common interests and love to be mean to Connor. They can also get along quite well. Though, sometimes, Xiao will defend Connor from the wrath of Jay when things go too far. Background Story (It will help his description make a bit more sense): When he was little, a tragic incident happened in which his parents suffered death in a terrible car accident so he had to move in with his abusive aunt. As a child, he tried to emotionally seal away all the troubles that traumatized him including the death of his parents. Of course, they wouldn't go away. That's why when he moved out of his aunt's house to rent an apartment, he moved to a different school to kinda start a new life. Since no one around him knew about this incident or anything about him, he was able to somewhat conceal these sorrowful emotions and act like the cool and calm guy he is now. Of course there are times when the past comes back to haunt him... Personality- ~Cool and calm: He will never freak out around people. It's just a habit he developed over time, hence why he highly dislikes rowdy and immature people. The only times he will lose his calm demeanor is if people excessively annoy him or if Leo is around. ~A bit outgoing: He likes to make new friends and is quite popular, but he also likes being alone sometimes to think about what has happened to him since that day... ~Sarcastic: He hates it when people are "Captain Obvious" so he tends to give the first impression of being mean. People get used to it over time. ~A dark sense of humor: He's actually into that kind of stuff despite what he's been through. He likes morbid stuff, what can I say? Maybe it he has a secret sadistic side that no one knows about *insert evil laugh here* ~Perfectionist: Because he goes with the flow, he can be quite lazy. He is also a procrastinator, but when he's trying to reach a goal or is dedicated to something, he will show you what perfection is all about. ~Lonely: He always feels like he's alone secretly. He hates it when people worry about him so he gets hate mail from guidance counselor all the time about his "situation". Think about it as Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day to describe his "loneliness" ~Trust no one: Seems like an open book on the outside. Mistrusting on the inside. He can't trust anyone with his secret past. Not even Connor. He's afraid everyone will worry about him which will cause him to go through his past trauma again. Type of person: He tends to go with the flow of things. If something is wrong though, he will be there to calm things down. He will only work hard if he is motivated to do so...or if Connor is acting shy again. In that case, Xiao will somehow convince Connor to get over his timidness for the time being. Overall, he is a caring guy who's willing to help his friends. Gender: Male Height: 5'9 Age: 16 Type of voice: Mid-range. Similar to Haruka Nanase from Free! Do you want to voice act your OC (yes/no): No. I don't do voice-acting *puts on shades* Extra Information: ~He works at a pet store to keep up with apartment rent. ~Despite hating guidance counselors, he kinda acts one himself. He can help people go through troubles they have in life and can figure out how to solve it. ~His IQ is 168. ~Don't give him ANY Marvel comics! He will literally ramble on about Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Iron Man. ~He loves animation. When he grows up, he wants to be able to make his own cartoons and movies. ~His white blotch of hair is there because his aunt put bleach in his hair. A lot of it. For some unknown reason, that part of his hair just never turned back to its original color. ~Believe or not, he actually dislikes anime. All that...ugh. There's a few exceptions like Soul Eater, but overall, he doesn't like the concepts involved in some. ~He sleeps during class. All. The. Time. Yet at the same time, he is a straight A student. Even Jay is shocked on how Xiao isn't failing. ~He has his driver's license but can't afford an actual car. He actually borrowed his aunt's car without her knowing. ~Pokemon actually kept him calm and out of trouble as a child which is why he keeps it close to his heart. ~Basketball is his favorite sport. Challenge him, and you'll get destroyed...unless you're as tall as Connor. Any more references: Inside the project
All the art is mine. Don't steal, trace or any of that! I worked so hard on this... The pictures were either made on vector or on bitmap. The only character I own is Xiao. The rest are @Sokabella's. Honestly tried my best on Leo without any reference, Jay was a struggle, and Connor...my brother erased the costume ;w; Credit to @Sokabella for this awesome contest. Oh yeah, pronounce his name "she-ow" but say it fast (That's close enough to the actual pronunciation, I think) Song: Reluctant Heroes from AoT/SnK (Piano) and Tokyo Teddy Bear
