Xavier Boros

"'I don't give a s*** how tough you are! I'm going to kick your ass!'""~Xavier, against a band of ruffians"Xavier is one of the twelve main protagonists in Hell on Earth, entering the world of Elysium along with his best friend Xero Lextron during the anime's first episode.

Appearance
Xavier has a stocky build, his hair slicked to the side. He wears a black jacket and cargo pants with a plain shirt underneath. He's moderately muscular at the start of the anime, but also a tad on the heavy side.

Personality
Xavier has his head and heart in the right place, but overall he's very sporadic and aggressive. He's highly destructive, and has an ill temper, sometimes even towards his allies. He wants to avoid conflict and violence, but he harbors a compulsion for violence and bloodshed.

Xavier hides his true personality behind a veil of bravery and perfection, being incredibly flawed and highly self-conscious. During the day, he may commit the necessary evils required to win the day, but he may cry himself to sleep that night, looking back at the things he did.

In addition to all of this, Xavier can be seen as somewhat two-faced, even as two different people trapped in the same body. He suffers from violent impulses and a quite literal thirst for blood, which, while it may aid him at times in battle, sometimes leads to him losing his focus or going completely ballistic. In addition, he suffers frequent mood swings, and has a tendency to act on impulse.

Backstory ~NEEDS UPDATE
Coming from the real world, Joseph has had quite a realistic lifestyle, though it is fairly outlandish in some respects.

Early Childhood
Joseph was a fool in his younger age, doing a lot of stupid things, from insulting his 2nd grade teacher to inadvertently throwing a bottle of juice at his father. He had a bold imagination and wild dreams, but didn't know how to tone things down when it was best to do so. He ended up causing a lot of chaos, from almost getting confiscated over a lie to ruining Christmas twice.

His later Elementary years were wild. He caused a class-wide free-for-all, fell on a pencil (stabbing himself in the process), caused several injuries in a competition to see who could swing the highest on a swing, and ended up discovering what ended up being a dead body.

Middle School Years
Eventually, Joseph had to grow up, and this ended up happening over a very long summer before his first year of middle school. On the first day, he almost got into a fight, and over the course of a few weeks, he ended up becoming public enemy number one. Thankfully, he was saved after having to get leg surgery to align his feet. When he came back, he was more mature, but he hadn't escaped his past enemies. This was worsened by an incident where his lack of knowledge on LGBT issues caused him to get punished for calling a tomgirl a guy.

Over these few long years, his personality ended up making a major shift. He went from never growing up to growing up fast, and from the immature class clown to the voice of reason. He no longer enjoyed the antics he used to engage in, and hated himself for what he did in the past.

Though his time in middle school was comparable to a walk through hell, he did meet a few friends along the way, including his best friend Joshua. He also burned bridges with some of his old "friends" and developed manners. In the end, he managed to get himself straightened out, but nothing could prepare him for high school.

Josh
Joseph's relationship with Joshua wasn't always the best. In fact, at one point, they were enemies. Though they hate to talk about it, and hate even more when others talk about it, they ended up having some issues, which eventually led to Joseph attacking Josh. However, after a long summer vacation, Joseph and Josh eventually made things up, apologized to each other, and ended up being better friends than they were before the fallout.

4 Years of Hell
When Joseph went into high school, he was hit with a combination of good, bad, and ugly all at once. He thought that choosing his own classes would be a dream come true, but was saddened to see that he didn't have a choice in the end. He was glad to see his old friends, but for every friend, he found fifty enemies, most which did not forgive him for his actions in elementary and middle school. There is no way to describe his experience in high school, except by comparing it to pouring a jar of salt on an open gash.

Starting the Hell on Earth Project
One day, Joseph and Josh were hanging out when they roleplayed an idea for an anime. In this anime, the main characters would get sucked in, and would be able to do anything they wanted, except they'd have to deal not just with normal, everyday grievances, but they'd also have to deal with grievances specific to the anime world, such as dealing with stupid cliches and constantly getting into fights.

The idea got abandoned, but Joseph thought of a similar idea. What would happen if instead of the anime world being a paradise where the main characters had limitless freedom, it would be a world of oppression? What would happen if instead of them never wanting to leave, leaving was the goal? This ended up becoming the premise for the Hell on Earth Project.

Soon, Joseph and Josh started planning the anime together, coming up with characters and planning the anime out. However, what they didn't know is who the antagonist would be, what the plot would be, or who the main characters would be. Little did they know that fate had already figured that out for them.

A New Hoep (The First Episode of HoEP: Trapped Within)
Before the first episode of Hell on Earth actually begins, it starts with Joseph Bigham and Joshua Shape going to a flea market. At first, Joseph and Joshua find nothing they're interested in. However, Joseph's attention is quickly diverted to a fancy mirror someone is selling. Shortly after investigating the mirror, he asks the seller how much it costs, and to his surprise, he is told it is free. Taking the mirror, he goes home with his friend Joshua and hangs it on the wall in his bedroom. After he does so, he works on a drawing of his room for an anime and then proceeds to go to bed, with Joshua sleeping in the guest room.

Upon waking up the next day, Joseph notices that the drawing he made the day before is gone, and his room is in tatters. He investigates, and soon finds that the mirror he got is tilted. Upon attempting to straighten it, he notices that his reflection is not his own and takes a closer look. The mirror begins to glow, and twelve stones inside of the mirror pop out and begin to spin around him. Soon after, Joseph passes out and his spirit is taken into his anime world, where he is reborn as Xavier.

Combat ~NEEDS UPDATE
In hand-to-hand combat, Xavier uses a self taught, high risk high reward style. This style frequents to punching, jumps, kicks, combos, and utilizing the environment. Since it is self taught, there is not conformity to the style, and Xavier often comes up with his best attacks on the spot. His fighting style combines brute force, high speed, and perfect grace to create a "style to rule all styles" in every respect. He still doesn't consider himself a good fighter though, as knowing and doing are two different things, and he sometimes finds that he can't perform an attack as well as he had planned, sometimes having to improvise after a failed attack.

Frequent CQC Moves
Xavier uses all sorts of weapons in his arsenal, and he can use anything he can hold as a weapon, making him one of the most versatile fighters in the Union of the Sacred Gemstones. He likes to go into a fight ready for anything, but prefers to remain minimally equipped so then he can move around more easily and won't be weighed down.
 * Minor elements of Zui Quan
 * Xavier's style is unpredictable, and Xavier often finds himself attacking from awkward positions, such as from the ground after a sweep. Also, since he stumbles sometimes, he uses his minor clumsiness to his advantage.
 * Punches and Kicks
 * Lunges
 * Jumping attacks

FoRFaNT Tech Weapons
Xavier's relations with FoRFaNT mean that he has access to futuristic equipment, even after separating from them. This grants him access to almost limitless weaponry, and he can make more if he chooses.
 * The B0SS (Before leaving FoRFaNT)
 * The B0SS MKII (After leaving FoRFaNT)
 * The Teknich Prototype Wrist Mounted Weapon System

Purchased Weapons/Tools
Xavier has a large collection of weapons in which he has purchased, though he prefers weapons he's made himself.
 * Two full tang machete swords, put on display in HQ.
 * Pocket knife
 * Two Derringers (backup weapons of choice)

Hand-Crafted Weapons

 * Two XFC-CMRs. Made to order for Xavier by Kocoal.
 * Phoenix Driver, A heavily modified pistol that is practically a short combine. Stored in the glovebox of Xavier's car.
 * The Fixers, a specially designed pair of monkey balls (metal ball attached to string) that doubles as batons. Can be linked together.

Things frequently used as weapons (in the environment)

 * Broken glass
 * Rods and Poles
 * Walls and Floors
 * Anything that can be thrown

Vehicles
Xavier has two vehicles (three if you include his first vehicle, the Nuestro V8, which he crashes on the third episode). First is his civilian vehicle, the Gaurius Venoray, which he prefers not to take on mission. Second is his combat vehicle, the Baiku-Bodo (Literally "Bike Board" in Japanese, pronounced "Bike-ew Boh-doh"), which is a hoverboard that can transform into a hoverbike.

Life Force ~NEEDS UPDATE
Early on, Xavier learns how to use basic life force powers in his combat training from Forfant. He learns about both the positive and the negative.

Xavier's origins also allow him to tap into Lymboh, a mysterious power that resonates in the anime world. However, his use of it is quite limited.

Lifestyle
Xavier likes to take advantage of being in a different world than his own. As if he wasn't enough of a free spirit in the real world, Xavier acts very lax and laid back, often being too laid back. He doesn't care much about professionalism or formalities, just so long as no one does anything stupid.

Xavier is a frequent curser, yet he tries not to curse around children or in formal situations. He finds himself to be more mature that the people around him, and is a good voice of reason, though he prefers not to speak his mind. He tries to act professional whenever matters call for it, and frequently succeeds.

Xavier is often pursued by fans (mainly girls), but those fans frequently find their enthusiasm unrequited. This isn't because he doesn't appreciate the attention; he's just afraid that he'll embarrass himself.

Trivia

 * Xavier has a strange liking for bubble gum, preferably in the form of gumballs. This is likely connected to his tendency to chew on his lips and the walls of his mouth.
