Character Details:
Name: Xavier LaFleur
Alias(es): X
Race:Witch
Level: Advanced
Apparent Age: 26 (Youthful effects enhanced due to Witchcraft)
True Age: 98
Type/Element of Magic:
Necromancy / Dark Magic (Master)
Alchemist (Advanced)
Psychokinetic (Apprentice)
Profession:
Professional entertainer [mostly singer but some dance]: Growing up in the roaring 20s, he is a child of jazz and ragtime which turned into his favor as he became a performer in his mid/late teens which is how he was able to provide for himself in New Orleans. As a young teenager, he would sweep the floors of the ragtime joints and clubs before he eventually took interest in performing. This skill took him to New York and eventually Paris for a short while after the civil rights era before returning back to the states in the late 70s. Outside of his professional career, those that knew of his voodoo prowess came to him for potions and rituals pertaining to their ailments or needs whether it be love potions to fertility rituals to poisons. He charged a hefty some for these underground jobs.
Skills:
Talented Singer and Dancer: By watching and learning from club performers, he grew into quite the entertainer himself. Pianist, Guitarist.
Skilled Cook: His grandmother was a brilliant cook who taught him many creole recipes growing up. He continued to cook as a stress relief as he got older.
Multilingual: Fluent in English, French, Creole-French, and pretty decent in Spanish and Latin.
Deceptive: All the years of hiding and working with underground resistances has allowed him to grow into quite a sneaky, deceptive person. He can work in secret to get things done fairly well.
Basic Firearm Training: He knows his way around a basic handgun and could use it if he had to, however he really prefers not to if he doesn't have to.
Powers:
Dark Magic / Voodoo (Master): Xavier can utilize voodoo magic, ie. access supernatural forces to improve their daily lives to attain power or success ("luck") in many areas of life including love, divination, revenge, health, and necromancy. As in many other spiritual and medical folk practices, extensive use is made of herbs, minerals, parts of animals' bodies, an individual's possessions and bodily fluids. Xavier's applications are as follows:
Alchemist (Advanced): Xavier uses his voodoo magic knowledge to create various potions and elixirs that range from love potions, poisons, fertility, impotence, etc. Can create items such as voodoo dolls, good luck charms, and hex bags. From his time with the Salem witches, he learned how to ward a specific space.
Psychokinetic (Apprentice): Learned from his time with the Salem witches, Xavier has the ability to move small objects with his mind. He can lift up to 50 pounds with strain.
Weaknesses:
Asthma (Emotional Induced): He has suffered with asthma from a young age but through dance and building his stamina as a performer, it rarely flares from physical exertion. However, if pushed to extreme anger, stress, or sadness, his emotional response can trigger an attack.
Arrogance: Because he has lived so long and endured so much, his arrogance can sometime cloud his judgement and leave him vulnerable if he isn't careful. He will often act out of sheer emotional response than careful thought.
Age: Although his magic and physical practices help him, he is still pretty old and is vulnerable to brute strength hence why he prefers to keep out of as much immediate danger as his body can only take so much. Outside of dancing, he doesn't typically move fast for anything, keeping a very calm and patient demeanor.
Necromancy: The farther he pushes his necromancy prowess, the more it will begin to pull from his own life force. If too much of his life force is used, he will visibly reflect his actual age and his body will begin to shut down accordingly unless he can absorb spirit energy in an adequate amount of time. Performing feats such as communicating with the spirits can be extremely taxing on his body as a medium which often result in dizziness immediately after or loss of consciousness. These effects are lessened if performed with another witch's support or a group.
Backfire: If rituals backfire, there is often a blow back effect on Xavier. This can range from a period of weakened magic, powerlessness, nausea, nosebleeds, hives, body sores, seizures, or comatose like states that can last up to 24 hours.
Voodoo Rituals: If bonding ritual is not completed successfully for voodoo dolls, Xavier will feel the pain of what he is trying to cast upon the target but only once the bond has been attempted. An unhexed doll will have no effect on the caster or the target.
Focus: For rituals, Xavier must hold absolute focus or else he risks his life by dealing with the volatile nature of magic, especially dark magic. He is skilled so often prepared and unlikely to falter; however, there is always a risk and that risk can be considered extremely deadly.
Migraines: Often suffers from migraines linked to his psychokinetic prowess if overexerting the power.
Exhaustion: With his rituals and potion making, everything comes at a cost which exhausts his mind and body. This serves as an obvious delay between how much time must pass before he is ready to perform another ritual or craft another potion.
Thanatophobia aka Fear of Death: Due to him being at potentially the last leg of his extended life, he fears his own demise day in and out which sometimes causes him to act irrationally and place himself and others in danger if casting out of desperation. The thought alone of his end can trigger a panic attack which in turn can trigger an asthmatic episode. This causes him to try and keep his focus clear and forwardly engaged in day to day life as opposed to pondering what is come in an effort to keep his mind at peace.
RP-Hookups:
He's certainly resourceful in terms of casting magic and rituals. He is a good person to have on your team for whatever your needs may be, just have to earn his trust or sell it to him the right way.
If they are looking for entertainment for a party or event, he is your go to guy.
Mysterious air about him that might draw upon people's curiosity.
