Name: Xerxes
Gender: Male
Element: Poison - Xerxes is a rather ... Chaotic, poison LOC. He is obviously skilled in poisoning others but is also rather adept at healing people as well. One of his battle tactics is done by biting his enemy and administering a deadly poison with each attack. Due to this being his main battle move, Xerxes is often seen with bright green poison dripping from his mouth. This gives a rather maddening look to him. Along with a poisoness bite, Xerxes can also poison other LOCs by scratching them or, when he has multiple targets, he will form a large gaseous ball of poison and cause to explode over enemy lines, though he does this on rare occasions as he is unable to prevent his companions from getting poisoned as well. However, like all creatures, he does have a fatal flaw. This flaw being that after spending too much time in battle, Xerxes' own poison can start to effect him; making him either go into a fighting rage or cause him to fall very ill.
Rank: Support Warrior - When he was still in training, Xerxes found that his venom is a great pain killer when used properly. He also found that it can also give other lions a burst of energy and strength allowing them to continue win powerful attacks. After becoming a full time base warrior, Xerxes was assigned as Khuza's main support warrior.
Personality:Xerxes is a very energetic and battle ready LOC. He is skilled and quick in battle, making him a deadly adversary. However, due to his poisonous drool which is often still dripping from his mouth, many LOC's tend to avoid him, though that makes him no less friendly, he's just more distant than others.
History: When Xerxes was still young and in training, he befriended Arcturus' son, Khuza. Khuza was a mellow young lion who took a liking to Xerxes' energy and fun loving nature. The two trained together and became close friends, even going to battle and on missions with one another. Unlike his friend's, Xerxes has rather plain looking armor making his rather florescent pelt stand out even further, but its also less decorative because if it were fancy, the poison from his mouth would ruin and stain the armor. Xerxes still cares for his armor despite his venom getting all over it in battle. Despite all this good happening in his life, Xerxes had his fair share of tragedy. One of Xerxes' first battles without his guiding friend Khuza, Xerxes lost control. He had been fighting for too long and his venom began to effect he himself. Xerxes went into a frenzy and began poisoning any lion near him, friend or foe. Luckily a lion with the life element was able to get hold of Xerxes and heal him of his own poison. Since then Xerxes was never allowed to head into battle without Khuza, who was the only one who knew when to bring Xerxes out of battle before he loses control. Xerxes sees Khuza as an older brother.
Art:
Armor: Xerxes, upon completing his training, requested that he be given armor of simple design and material. He had seen his friend Khuza's armor, which was decorative and detailed, and Xerxes felt that his poisonous drool would damage the armors beauty if he too were to have such armor. So his armor was made rather simply. Its light weight so Xerxes can move quickly through the battle field to assist wounded lions, yet it is also strong enough to withstand any damage should he be engaged in a one-on-one fight. Because Xerxes was Halloween inspired, his armor is as well. It is designed to look like large rib bones; the metal plates are spaced out to provide lots of movement. The cloth decoration on his armor was once well kept but after a few battles it became ragged and stained because of Xerxes' poison.
