PERSONALITY</u>
  Xelax is full of contradictions, both complicated and simple at the same time. On the surface he often comes across as a bit of an ass, callous and cynical to the point that he drives most people away. He even at times seems downright cold, and, well, heartless; and the times when he's not being impossible to get along with he'll be smirking and making snide remarks, or being completely vulgar, appearing arrogant and completely self-centered. He also has a bad habit of hitting on every woman he meets, but he's been doing his best to break this habit as he usually isn't as serious as he comes across.
  Beneath all this, though, he's actually a surprisingly thoughtful person. A bit dense and secretive, yes, but on the whole he genuinely cares about people in general, and greatly appreciates individuals for who they are even though he never shows it.  He simply has his own way of dealing with people, and as a defensive manuever he usually does his best to drive them away rather than giving either them or himself a chance to get to know one another better.
  He's also a bit nervous and twitchy in general, although he does a marvelous job of hiding this and usually appears laid back and withdrawn. When disturbed he does have a lot of habits that give him away, though. Since joining the organization, however, he's been able to tune a lot of this nervous energy into training and meditation, which has been an extreme improvement to his previous, less productive activities of drinking, drugs, and one-night stands.  This is thanks to his boyfriend, Rdox, who has helped him through a lot of his personal issues and who is pretty much the only person he allows close to him.  He does still prank people qutie often, though... but as always, they're usually not the most amusing pranks for anyone but himself, and often have less than pleasant outcomes. He doesn't mean to be harmful, though, he just tends not to think before he acts, and has a more mischivous sense of humor than most.
  He would never harm anyone intentionally though, and he will often times sacrifice his own well-being at the expense of others without a second's thought. And to those few that have managed to gain a friend status with him he is extremely protective and loyal, although as always he would never admitt to it or let it show except on rare occassions.


XELAX'S STORY </u>
  Xelax was originally Alex, born in Africa where he grew up with his half sister, Alyssa.  To be brief, Alex later became a Keyblader when his world was destroyed, and he spent the last several years of his life searching for his sister and doing his best to keep an order among the remaining worlds. He eventually fell in love with a man native to Agrabah, named Dor, and settled down with him, only to be killed by heartless the night that love was returned.  Xelax remembers only small parts of Alex's life, but doesn't associate them with himself, and does his best to keep the most of them forgotten.
He wandered the Pridelands for a few months as a rogue nobody before eventually learning of and joining with the Org-Infinity group.  He served under them for several months, quietly but loyally and met several others, very few of which he became more friendly with.  
Eventually, however, a rift began to grow within the ranks, and in the end Xelax disbanded with the organization to join the small faction called the Rogues of Axiom.


XELAX'S FIGHTING STYLE</u>
Xelax is mainly a long-ranged fighter, preferring to stay out of harm's reach while using the several orbs he keeps with him to barrage an enemy into submission, or at least onto the defensive. On the cases that he is forced into close combat, he is very skilled with his staff, and with his element he is easily able to counter frontal attacks. The only way to really break his defenses is to catch him off guard or attack from behind. His power requires a great deal of concentration, however, and when forced into close combat his control tends to slip and his long ranged attacks become random and hazardous to all in the immediate area, including himself. All in all, he is a powerful fighter, but he is also risky due to his unstable nature.
Strengths: Long-range attacks, defense, ability to react quickly, ability to attack from several direction at once, can change the force of impacts.
Weaknesses: Magic, especially gravity and anything that can stop or hold him down, concentration is also easily broken.

Element Information:  The power of Ricochet is just that, it enables him to control the way in which objects ricochet or rebound off each other.
This basically means he has control over the moment of impact: i.e. the force, momentum, and angle of the ricochet. However, his energy must be in possession of at least one of the objects in the impact to control it, and he must be highly concentrated on the impact itself to control it directly. Otherwise this energy will simply run rampant and his attacks become hazardous. Thus, as intense of an individual as he is, his control tends to slip more often than not due to distractions.  

Going into detail on the meaning of "possession" of objects, this theory is based off the idea that all forms of life and matter hold energy (similar to the concepts of chi or ki, etc), when someone focuses intently on another object or being, their energy makes a connection with the energy of the other object or person (this explains why people are able to "feel" other people staring at them or other presences, etc).  With Xelax, his element takes advantage of this phenomenon by melding his energy with that of objects near enough to him, enabling him the ability to control no more than the moment that object impacts with another. This basically explains why he is able to use objects aside from his weapons for some of his attacks, but this is limited to objects that are within the range of his own personal energy.  This energy expands only under extreme concentration or moments of desperation and instinct, thus why he is only able to use his last resort moves when he is under extreme pressure in battle.

Lesser Nobodies:  Xelax recently discovered that he can sommon nobody "walls".  These "walls", which he calls "Plates", are about 15x15 feet, and 3 feet thick.  They float above the ground at either vertical or parallel positions with the ground, at various distances in the air and are used as a means to ricochet his orb weapons in open areas, as well as a means to stand on to get to a higher vantage point than his enemies.  The Plates have spikes around their edges, but tend to float aimlessly, and don't actually attack.  A face also appears on one of their sides, which is their weak point, and can be targeted to destroy them.  Overall, brainless and slow, it is easy for Xelax to summon between 4-6 of them, however, they don't always listen to what he says, and so he only ever brings them out in wide open spaces.


XELAX'S ATTACKS</u>
(Based on if Xelax were ACTUALLY In Game)
Serve – (Long Range Attack) Will punt one orb after another directly at his opponent. Typically does this at the beginning of a fight or after gathering up his orbs when they've been stopped.

Barrage – (Long Range Attack) Xelax will send his eight orbs toward the target simultaneously from various directions.

Rampage - (Long Range Attack) Xelax ricochets his orbs off the surrounding environment randomly, but in the general direction of his opponent.

Light Show - (Long Range Attack) Xelax will surround his opponent with the path his orbs make, sending them faster and faster as they close in so that the blurrs appear as solid shapes. (Can be escaped with time or gravity magic only when they are within range)

Cheap Shot – (Close Range Attack) Will attack with his staff immediately after countering. (Attack move varies)

Dicer – (Close Range Attack) Xelax will attack with his staff, using a series of sharp thrusts and sweeps to drive an opponent back.

Last Resorts:
Shatter – (Entire Field) Occurs as Xelax's last stand when he's about out of health.  He will stab his staff into the earth, using the shock to split it into a growing crevasse that follows the player for a few seconds, but leaves the battleground misshapen  and treacherous for the remainder of the fight.

Hurricane - (Entire Field)  A newly discovered last stand.  Xelax will collapse to his knees as his energy expands to encompass the entire field, taking possession of any debris or objects laying about and adding them to the attack of his weapons.  This creates something similar to a tornado effect, minus the wind and the curved movement given everything is thrown in straight lines.

Kamikaze - (Entire Field)  A combination of Xelax's two last resorts... this move has yet to be used, as it is beyond Xelax's power to control, and thus would end his life to use it.  Basically, Xelax's elemental power would overflow, and as it is a "ricocheting" force, his body would be broken apart and scattered about the field amongst the debris... the attack would continue with the momentum of Xelax's mental energies, but as soon as those are tapped out he would fade permanently.


XELAX'S DEFENCES</u>
Counter – Xelax deflects any frontal attacks, and can actually throw a person across the room by turning the force of their attack against them.

Sharp Shove – Eight orbs will rebound off each other in a close cage-shape around Xelax, moving outwards to push an attacker back, painfully.

Rocket - Kicks off from the ground, using his power to send himself rocketing backwards across the field. Usually used to retreat.
