Character Information
Name: Xanxus Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn Age: 24 Gender: Male Canon Point: Post ch399. While passed out from pain. Prior to hospitalization. Background Link:Here Inventory: - All clothing seen here, minus the two chains. The right sleeve of his shirt has been torn off, and pants are ripped at his knees. (Expanding on this, he did just have his right arm cut off. I'd like it to be healed by generic Norfinbury magic, but considering the whole low on resources, it's fine if not! He will manage.) - Varia ring - Boss watch, with "MAMMON" in place of "REBORN". The display is cracked, though, and it doesn't work. - This is a long shot, but maybeBester? A Sky element box animal with the appearance of a white liger. He's usually stored within a small box (Think Pokemon and Pokeballs), but was outside of it at the canon point. He acts based on Xanxus' mood, so this would mostly mean sleeping unless provoked. Still, some nerfs like removing the armor and making him the size/strength of a large dog would make the most sense. He would likely just be used as a pillow or footrest, and disposal for food that Xanxus doesn't find good enough.
Personality: An irritable young man. The leader of Vongola's independent assassination squad, the Varia, is loosely themed to correspond to Wrath, and shows it well at almost all times.
As a child, Xanxus was living in poverty, raised only by a single mother. He displayed the ability to use the same Dying Will flame as a previous boss of the Vongola Famiglia, and as a result his mother believed him to be next in line as the Tenth boss, naming him with the roman numeral X in mind, and even going so far as to eventually bring him to the current and Ninth boss, Timoteo. The Ninth accepted Xanxus, taking him in and raising him as his own son and heir. And so led to believe this truly was his father-- that the position of Tenth boss would become his despite other candidates-- Xanxus quickly grew accustomed to the respect and praise others were giving him. Wanting to ensure he'd maintain that superiority, the inheritance of that title became his only goal.
At the age of 16, this promised future came crashing down around him as he learnt his "father" held no blood relation to him at all. He'd been lied to all his life, taken in out of no more than pity, and worst of all had never even been the old man's first choice for the next Vongola boss. Feeling betrayed and consumed by rage, he attempted to lead his strongest subordinates in a coup against the Ninth. While they managed to cause quite a bit of damage, it wasn't a success. Due to yet another betrayal, this time at the hands of the Varia's former vice-captain, Timoteo had been informed of the plans and stopped Xanxus easily, using the Zero Point Breakthrough ability to trap him in ice. Frozen in stasis and heavily scarred from the attack, his body was locked away and hidden for years and his existence brushed aside almost entirely, until he was recently freed.
When he first appears in the series, Xanxus' goals haven't changed at all. If anything, the loss has only made him more vengeful and determined. With four other candidates for the position, his solution is to eliminate the competition.
While he applies little value to the lives of others, seeing them as garbage worth no more than the lives of insects and thoroughly believing only the strong should survive, he does still show consideration at times. He cares deeply for the Vongola Famiglia as a whole or a concept-- after all, if it's going to belong to him, it needs to be the best that it can-- and that may have played a part in his initial plan of simply having Squalo retrieve the Half Vongola Rings for him as opposed to anything more violent. He would have been content to claim them and be done with it, as their ownership would secure his place as Tenth without question. Being tricked with fakes, on the other hand, only served to anger him further-- enough to take action himself with the intent of killing everyone behind the deceit.
It's clear this isn't an idle threat when he first encounters Tsuna, pushing his own subordinates out of the way to begin preparing an attack they complain may get them all killed. He only stops when Vongola's outside advisor steps in, bringing a direct order from the Ninth. Under this order, rules are enforced that will award the rings through one-on-one battles, and seeing Xanxus' response to these events gives us our first real look at his attitude:
The battles that don't involve him directly don't appear to be worth his time to watch, as the rest of the Varia note he's missing during Lussuria's match. He doesn't need to be there for something like "support" when he has such a confidence-- even arrogance-- that his group will win. And if they don't? When Lussuria is defeated, we see Xanxus' method of "encouragement" has been to leave Gola Mosca with the instructions to "erase" any of Varia who lose.
He seems, at first, to be missing from Leviathan's battle as well, until Tsuna interferes-- breaking the rules to save Lambo-- causing the Sky ring to be awarded to Xanxus without a fight. He reveals himself only to mock Tsuna's views and attempt to attack him, but in contrast does make sure to keep from getting himself disqualified. His emotions may be as strong, but it's not anger for a change. He claims it himself that he's become excited, instead. He finally has the Sky ring, after all. But he's begun to enjoy the battle, as well. If continuing the matches will bring Tsuna even more suffering and despair, it's definitely worth waiting to kill him after it's complete. He even changes the rules of the competition, insisting that if Tsuna's group can win a majority, he'll give the ring up along with the position of Tenth.
During Belphegor's match, he's absent once again, however it becomes clear that he's not uninterested anymore. He takes Squalo's excitement at how few matches are left to be a complaint, and makes a point of showing up to each remaining one right from the start. That's not to say he's there to offer any more support than the continued threat that the weak should disappear-- rather, he's thoroughly entertained when Squalo appears to have died, even bursting out into laughter over it. The way he sees this, taking out his strongest underling doesn't lower their chance of winning so much as widen the gap in power that keeps him superior to everyone. When Mammon proceeds to lose, he issues an order to eliminate him, too, once everything's over.
When Gola Mosca's match is also recorded as a loss, however, and his own conditions would force him to go through with giving up his ring, Xanxus becomes the one to interfere. We see that his actions in battle are calculated, as he stalls Hibari long enough for Gola Mosca to recover, without attacking and disqualifying himself. In fact, the extent of his planning went beyond that as his true aim was to lure Tsuna into destroying it instead. To make Tsuna the one responsible for killing the person who was captured and trapped inside as its power source-- Timoteo. An elaborate trap that should make it impossible for the Vongola Famiglia to accept the Ninth's murderer as his successor, but more than that, an excuse. A way for Xanxus to be perfectly justified in killing Tsuna himself, as vengeance for his father.
A final step in securing that chance to do so, he changes the rules once more to allow for one last battle in which the two will face off. Even before the match, there's barely a moment that he isn't smiling. He may not see it as a challenge at first, but he does see it as a fight he needs to be serious about, even drawing his guns fairly early on. Their battle also serves as a chance to talk, quite a bit given how quiet he seems to be when not engaged. It's mostly taunts, mocking Tsuna's commitment to his own friends, while making it clear once more that he doesn't care if his teammates die. But on discovering Tsuna has the Zero Point Breakthrough ability as well-- the same ability that had sealed him away for years-- the exchange quits being enjoyable for him. There's a moment of what almost looks like fear, before he grows furious with the other, and begins to put more effort, more force, and more insults into their fight. It's a rage that likely drew most of the Varia to follow him-- or Squalo, at the very least, admits that to be the case for himself.
When Xanxus manages to meet the conditions for winning, and attempts to use the Sky ring's powers, it ultimately rejects his bloodline and proves incompatible with him. His anger increases once again, so much that he orders his subordinates to break the fight's rules in order to kill the opposing team entirely. The efforts are stopped, however, leaving Xanxus as the one disqualified, and all the rings given to the opposing side. With nothing that he can do about it, his rage can only continue to build.
The next we see of him is ten years into the future. The Varia members remain largely the same with the exception of only Mammon being replaced, which shows he can maintain his following well even without any possibility of becoming the next boss. He's renamed them as working under the Ninth as opposed to the famiglia as a whole, which hints that he may have regained, or even always had, some level of respect for his father after all. This is, however, just as likely to be an act of stubbornness to show he'll never approve of Tsuna, as well.
It's shown that his sense of superiority and entitlement hasn't changed at all, as he sends his subordinates out on a large scale mission and stays behind, preferring to rest, eat, and generally not be bothered. He has no reason to do much for himself if he doesn't have to. It gives the impression that he must be lazy, which isn't necessarily wrong, but it still loops back around to how he views himself as too important.
It's only once the enemies come to him, disturbing him directly and going so far as to mention Tsuna's name, that he takes any action of his own. Even then, the extent of that at first is to let Bester handle things for him as he yawns and acts as though he plans to sleep through the fight instead. While he can be active in battle, even faster than most opponents, his weapon of choice being guns allows him to use minimal effort, and we see him win without doing so much as bothering to stand from his seat.
Given a chance to speak to Tsuna, he shows his concern for the Vongola Famiglia, demanding that he make it the strongest it can be before the next challenge. They are allies, however much Xanxus may hate him. He wants Tsuna to be powerful, and it's seen shortly after that he'll move the Varia to assist him when necessary.
In the present day once again, we see more of this hidden considerate side when Mammon comes to him for help. While he treats most of his subordinates rather cruelly, and refuses to even hold a conversation with most, he does offer to hear him out, and eventually agrees.
When the rules to the battle are revealed, though, and it turns out to be treated as more of a game, the unpredictable timing causes him to lose interest and ignore the event. His participation in the first day only consists of him shouting at the timer for beeping, before sleeping through the match entirely. On the second day, it's only out of sheer luck and sabotaging their own hotel room that Mammon's able to lure him out of his room in time to get involved when the team needs his support. Upset with being woken up, and finding the opponent to be as challenging as Hibari, he readily takes over, even forcing Mammon himself out of the fight partway through with the insistence that those who've been injured should stay back. Of course, it's soon apparent that he wasn't beginning to follow the battle's rules-- when the timers signal the match has ended, it takes almost everyone in the room to keep him from getting disqualified by continuing to fight. He's back to sleeping on the third day, and it's only at the promise of facing a strong enemy that he finally goes into battle willingly, on the fourth.
So all in all, he's a person who's quick to anger, and bears a hatred towards almost everything except himself. The very few things Xanxus does enjoy are understandably self-serving: eating, sleeping, maintaining his X-Guns, and picking on Squalo. He's more often than not spending every free moment sleeping or sitting down, ordering his subordinates to do everything for him, and reacting violently when anything's done wrong.
Flavor Abilities: - In an interview, Lussuria claims that Xanxus is fluent in 12 different languages. Canon has proven Italian and Japanese to be among them, while said interview has implied Swahili may be as well. For RP purposes, I would want to add English and Russian into some of those unknown slots. - When extremely angered, the scars inflicted by Timoteo's flames become more visible, covering much more of his body.
Suitability: Despite spending a lot of time frozen, not too much! He's gone from having nothing to having everything, which has left him with a rather entitled nature. He expects others to do everything for him, and won't be too happy with being treated as an equal or having to earn new followers by playing nice with the trash that's here. He'll likely refuse rations due to their quality, suffer cabin fever by thinking travel isn't worth his time, or even ignore warnings and believe he can easily take down an anomaly if encountered. Someone needs to take care of him.
