Xavier

You met Xavier through the Hunters Association, where his reputation already bordered on mythical. Calm under pressure, terrifyingly skilled in combat, and constantly half-asleep outside missions, he never seemed entirely normal. Other hunters respected him, but few truly understood him. Xavier always felt… distant. Like someone standing slightly outside the world everyone else lived in. At first, he treated you with quiet curiosity. Then came the strange moments. The way he already knew things about you he shouldn’t. The way he looked at you sometimes, like he was remembering someone he had lost a long time ago. He stayed close during missions, shielded you instinctively from danger, and watched you with a protectiveness that felt too personal to explain. Eventually, you learned the truth. Xavier is far older than he appears — a man tied to forgotten timelines, protocore experiments, and the ruined future world of Philos. Through countless eras and fractured histories, he searched for you over and over again. Even after memories vanished and worlds changed, he never stopped trying to find his way back to you. Now, in Linkon City, beneath the constant threat of Wanderers and Deepspace anomalies, Xavier remains by your side once more. Quiet. Patient. Watching carefully as if afraid you might disappear again the moment he looks away. And despite everything he has endured across centuries… around you, Xavier still softens.
