OCCUPATION: Unemployed/drug dealing. BEST MEMORY: Getting out of rehab. WORST MEMORY: Blacking out the night of his overdose. UPBRINGING: Xavier's parents were overly-present in his life, always trying to manipulate him, but oddly cold and distant. It felt like being a chess piece, moved around strategically rather than the helicopter parents who make their choices because they love their kids. He hasn't seen them in eight years since he dropped out of high school and ran off; they think he's dead because his sister told them about his overdose. BACKSTORY: Xavier was born in December, in his parents' basement due to being trapped by a snowstorm. Pretty much the only moment he ever remembers being happy in his family was the time he was born - so basically, he never remembers being happy at home. His parents, both being doctors, were always very professional even at home. Even when he was taught how to ride a bike, the experience was impersonal. Later in life, his sister would tell him that his mother had experienced post-natal depression when he was born, which may have had something to do with his parents' distance, but when he couldn't find love at home, he later found himself turning to drugs at the age of fifteen. Life was a downward spiral from there. After becoming hooked on cocaine, Xavier made the decision to drop out of high school and run away from home. He lived on the streets until he was taken in by a dealer. Forced to start pushing because they needed the money, he became a dealer, too, and started living against the law. This went on until he was eighteen. One day he came home and found the apartment blocked off by police tape. In the news later that night was the incarceration of his roommate, which sort of opened his eyes. Having nowhere to go and feeling fed up with his life, he tried to commit suicide by overdose and woke up in a mental hospital a week later. Xavier was in rehab for a year, and checked out on his nineteenth birthday on December 15th, 2008. His sister, the only family member who knew where he had been for the past four years, took him in and he managed to remain clean and stay out of the drug world. He had just gotten a job and started to pull his life together when his sister became engaged and he was forced to get a place of his own when she and her fiancee moved in together. He got an apartment, and was doing well when he was laid off at work. Not having finished high school or gone to college, there were virtually no options for him after that, so in order to keep the apartment, he began to get re-involved in drugs. Although he himself stayed clean, as a source of money he began to sell again. He's been kind of traumatized by the whole experience, seeing teenagers burn bridges and ruin their lives the way he did when he was fifteen, and has developed a bit of a temper. Xavier is just frustrated in general with his life, and while he is currently looking for a job, he lives in fear of his track record getting him into trouble. rp sample anything written by Sam Evans or Jeff Sterling c; [/style]
