Xanhace is an easy going guy, not completely laid back, but not wound up too tight either. He believes in hard work and could be wrote off as a workaholic when he is focused on a job or project. Although his kind nature has lead him to become manipulated many times in the past. He has been played out of many trinkets due to sob stories and false promises. Though it may be, he bears no hatred or grudge towards those people no matter what they took. Due to Xanhace's possessive nature he finds himself single more often then not. During that time he closes shop for a while and re-opens with new jewelry and herbal mixes.

Xanhace doesn't have a very bombastic personality and can come off as dull or bland when speaking to people. Not being a very excitable person, Xanhace can often be mistaken as depressed. However that is not the case, he laughs and smiles like most people do. If you share similar interests with him, then you can bet he will show more expression. Xanhace is attentive, and looks at whomever is speaking. Though due to his expression, it often looks like he is uninterested, even if he is not.

Overall, Xanhace, like any normal person he has things he could work on as well as improve. Being so consumed in his work, he is often seen as passionate. Being so engulfed in his work causes him to come out with better results each time. Some people view work as a chore, Xanhace views it as a stress reliever.

History:    

When Xanhace was younger he lived a simple life. It was neither luxurious or lavish by any means, but it wasn't a terrible life either. They were a very close knit family and they all took care of one another no matter the issue. They all viewed one another as a blessing, and not a hindrance. As a child, Xanhace grew up happily with his parents at his side. He was an only child, but that made it all the more easier since he wasn't active.

His father was often busy with his shop leaving Xanhace to spend more time with his mother. She taught him how to make very useful mixes, and him which flowers were good and bad. What effects each one had, if they were poisonous, and so on. Eventually he began dabbling around with new herbal mixes. Though often he was helping his mother make helpful medicine and stress reducing scents.

As Xanhace got older, his father took him in to his work shop to teach him how to make weapons and armor. Along with that, Xanhace began to pick up on how to make miscellaneous things. Xanhace wasn't one to glorify weaponry, however, he still made swords and armor. He usually did it to make his father happy, and it did. When he got used to making weaponry and armor, he moved on to more delicate objects. Once he got the hang of shaping small items, he surprised his mother with a lovely hair pin. His mother wore the hair pin everyday, showing it off to her friends. Xanhace finally found something he enjoyed doing besides making herbal mixes and armor.

Shortly after he began to get more exposure, he made them as free gifts to anyone who came in to the shop. He usually gave them out to people who were passing by as well. Becoming more experienced in making hair pins, he received a spot in his father's shop to sell his work. This was also to gain experience in sale, since he would be given the shop when he came of age. Progressing further he began to make them in handfuls, instead of by commission.

  Though as time passed his parents retired after three more long years. Though his mother still made her medicine and even helped with the shop. When ever Xanhace would step out to pick herbs, or gather materiel she would keep an eye on it for him. Disheartened when Xanhace decided to stop making weapons, his father decided it was best to just allow him to do his own thing.  Even though it was troublesome, his father allowed him his own freedom. Upon noticing his father's unease, Xanhace assured him if business was bad he would make weapons again.

Around the time Xanhace turned twenty six, his mother passed. Though instead of mourning her death, he and his father celebrated her life, as she would have wanted it to be. Since she always told them never to cry when she passed, they didn't. Often she would joke that she would outlive them both, however, she was already very weak. Since her immune system was already bad, she didn't last the winter. Even though this saddened Xanhace and his father, they had a day of silence for her, but they did not cry. The next day they saw her off to her grave with a smile.

Luckily for Xanhace, his father is a strong person despite his carefree attitude. Like Xanhace's mother, his father picked up the habit of helping his son watch the shop as he ran errands. Since he is alone, and his hands are idle, his father makes a couple of swords and even places them out for sale as his own side business. Xanhace notices, but doesn'tmake a fuss about it, since he knows his father has his own passions. They have recently been running the store as a father and son business. Even though his father tells him constantly, that the store belongs to Xanhace. He usually just nods and agrees, because he knows at heart this shop was, and still is, his fathers pride and joy.

Xanhace is more like his mother in terms of taste and personality.
Always having a bored or dull look on his face, many people find him hard to read, even when he is telling the truth.
