OH IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEHAVED FINALLY. FOR FUCKS SAKE.

a muse bio lol.

MUSE: Xanthos CONTENT WARNINGS: self harm

FULL NAME. ???? "Xanthos" ???? GENDER. Male PRONOUNS. He/Him OCCUPATION. Streamer, XBD actor ALIGNMENT. Chaotic. YEAR. 2077.

HAIR.  Blonde EYES. Augmented to be bright blue, heart shaped pupils HEIGHT.  6′2″ / 187.96cm WEIGHT.  127lbs / 57.6kg COMPLEXION. pale, yellow undertones AGE: 29 BUILD. Tall, kind of lanky. long fingers. strong jawline.

  Born and raised in Night City. Freak at heart. His only job is to Cause Problems. Started his streaming career as a man that sought out gun fights and gang wars to throw himself into the fray. Streamed purely from his braindance recorder at the time, but eventually got himself a drone companion that he's named Meep to record from just over his shoulder or to the side of him.

  Obnoxious, loud, and prone to conflict. Xanthos doesn't talk about his past life before becoming the adrenaline junkie he is today. His entire personality revolves around being incredibly annoying but a moneymaker. He enjoys making extreme braindances of him getting into fights, killing people, or even just him fucking someone (or getting fucked we love a versatile king).

  Xanthos is rarely seen outside of streaming, as he prefers to keep a low profile when he's not live. Meep only ever comes out when he's streaming, and is often powered off in his apartment otherwise.

  Xanthos' augments are mostly for his movement and recording, including a grapple hand (his right hand), and a zetatech sandevistan mk2. His braindance recording augments are built for withstanding him getting hit in the head, and will record as long as he has brain activity. His personal agent is also connected to his eyes, and he can send out texts or read his stream chat from a HUD in his vision.

  Xanthos notably acts very different when his braindance equipment is off or on. It's very easy to tell when he's streaming because his body language and voice change, though sometimes just after a stream the loud voice and mannerism bleed into  how he acts. He's an adrenaline junkie at heart and has an addiction to adrenaline vials. He's also incredibly physically fit and even without cyberlegs can hit olympic running speeds in short bursts.

  Xanthos also has a few tattoos, notably a bartmoss tattoo on his upper right arm and a tattoo of the samurai logo on his right thigh. He idolizes most, if not all of the night city greats.

  Xanthos self harms through the use of adrenaline, his streaming career, and using sex as an escape. He's very aware of this and doesn't care.

  Xanthos is mostly adept at pistols, and has a preference for heavy pistols specifically.

[cyberpawn to scarlet] “commendable of you to live through that”

MEME.

A warm, loud laugh escapes the redhead. Eyes glow a warm red, blood dripping from his chin as he dusts himself off from the very ruined motorcycle. "I've lived through worse!" His grin is wide, messy spiky red hair falling in front of his eyes. Metal boots tap against concrete as he gets his bearings, only to stretch his arms high over his head and let out a loud squeak. "Probably done worse to myself over the years too."

[cyberpawn to eros] “hey how’d you get your hands on a nice bow like that?”

MEME.

Eros laughs a little, pulling back the bowstring and aiming without an arrow knocked. "It was a gift, thinkin' about modding it and gifting it to someone else since I've never used it." They shift after a moment, relaxing their shoulders and putting the bow down. Grabbing a few tools, they move to unstring the bow. "Why, got interest in it?"
