WELCOME TO RECREANCY, Sav!

You have been accepted for the non-biography role of XENOPHILIUS LOVEGOOD, with the FC of Calin Sitar!

Please take a look at the new member checklist and send in your account within 24 hours!

OUT OF CHARACTER:

NAME & PRONOUNS: Sav

AGE: 25 years old

TIMEZONE: PST

ACTIVITY LEVEL: I've just gotten to summer break (I'm normally a middle school teacher). However, I'm also a full-time grad student working on my thesis, so I'll be balancing that with planning for next year and writing in two other groups, one which I also admin. That being said, I can comfortably rotate between these things, so my activity could fluctuate between a 5 and a 7 out of 10.

ANYTHING ELSE: Creepy music & clowns give me the heebie-jeebies, but I'm fairly good otherwise

CHARACTER DETAILS:

NAME: Xenophilius Reginaldus Caligula Lovegood

AGE: 31

GENDER, PRONOUNS, and SEXUALITY:

Xenophilius uses the pronouns he/him and they/them comfortably and interchangeably. Branded as an odd duck for years, for Xeno pronouns would have been one of the easiest things to take on, particularly from their Muggle family, and is one of the few things that allow them to truly be themself. Because of this, Xenophilius identifies as a gender non-conforming individual. Xeno's sexuality, however, is where they become most colorful.

To put Xeno into few words, they would identify most closely with pansexual, panromantic, and would consider themself open to the possibility of a polyamorous romance or relationship. Xeno believes that almost all people are beautiful, if their hearts are not ugly, and they can find a lot of love in themself to share with the world around them.

BLOOD STATUS: Halfblood

HOUSE ALUMNI: Hufflepuff

ANY CHANGES: None because I wrote him

CHARACTER BACKGROUND:

PERSONALITY:

Xenophilius has always, if anything, been a loyal person, whether that be to the (scant few) friends he has or the organization he has ingratiated himself into. There is nothing in this world, Xenophilus believes, that one could trade over loyalty, and it is this factor that has kept the wix from straying from his path for good, even when it has been a winding, tumultuous one. Though Xeno has not been apart of the organization from the beginning, he values what they are doing and believes it to be of the utmost importance. Xenophilus wants to be a part of that, to make a difference, and is eager to help whenever he is able. That eagerness may be misconstrued by some as foolishness or naiveite, but Xenophilius has a good head on his shoulders, clear and sound of mind, despite what some wix may whisper behind his back.

This loyalty also extends to a kind-heartedness that, in a war, some consider to be too soft. There is no time for weak-hearted fools, not here, and Xeno knows that. He is aware of what is at stake. In fact, it is always on his mind - his family, those few Order members he has come to know and to value. Xenophilius does not see his kindness as a hindrance but as an asset. With the ability to be kind comes the ability to cut away the hatred and bigotry of the world. Xenophilus wishes, very much, that this were the case, and hopes to one day see this hope come to fruition.

Finally, there is the matter of Xenophilius’s eccentricity. He lives in a house haunted by a ghost, he speaks to or of himself in the third person – particularly when nervous, anxious, or agitated – and cannot help these things that he does. There are superstitions that have been ingrained into him from the time he could walk, such as never putting a knife in a friend’s hand lest you wish to lose the or spitting three times to bring luck, fortune, or protection, which he still believes in strongly and will often be seen doing, at both the Prewett estate and his place of business. Xenophilus has never known anything different. His mother is strange and his father is peculiar, so to think anything else were normal is, well, abnormal to him.

Despite Xenophilus’s best efforts, however, there are some negative things that he cannot change or erase about himself, no matter how hard he tries. The most cumbersome of these negative traits is his chronic anxiety. There is much to worry about in this world and, while it has not quite hit paranoia, like Alastor Moody has been rumored to have, there are things that can send Xenophilius into a tizzy. One such thing is disorder or, rather, an order not of Xenophilius’s own making. Things need to be just so. Everything has its place, even if that place may not be ascertained immediately upon first glance. Additionally, Xenophilius often needs support in setting long-term goals or plans and will react negatively when those plans are interrupted or altered suddenly. The one place, it should be noted, where this has not always been the case is through Order missions and plans; Xenophilus expects things to change based upon his and others’ information, so he can account for those changes in place, plan, or duty.

There is both an abruptness and a rudeness to Xenophilus’ way of speaking and acting, though for not a lack of trying. Sometimes he says things in a way that maybe be taken poorly, despite having meant the exact opposite. Once the other conversationalist gets angry or upset, Xeno is confused and doesn’t understand where he mis-stepped, which creates a cycle that only grows larger and larger. Because of this, any formal conversation that Xeno has with a member or person outside of the Order may sound stilted or rehearsed. Additionally, some of Xenophilius’s mother’s pride spilled over into her child, making Xeno sometimes seem snooty, uppity, or as though he views himself as better than others. In reality, that is far from the case, and Xenophilus would wring his hands over anyone believing such a thing of him.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF FAMILY:

The Lovegood family was always underfoot of one another, living in a small, cozy home near wizarding London. As Xenophilius grew, he heard whisperings of the oddities of his family, both magical and Muggle, and promptly learned to ignore them. The Lovegood home was always full of light and laughter, creativity of self and expression, and Xeno flourished in such a place, becoming who they are today. Sotiria and Eustratitus both valued honesty and hardwork, but they also made sure that Xenophilius felt they could be authentic in everything they did, regardless of what that was. They instilled in Xeno an acceptance for all beings, wixen or Muggle, and a kindness and care towards others that would extend into their adult life. It did not matter to the Lovegoods how you cared or for whom – Eustratius was no pureblood, anyhow, so it did not matter to him whether or not his child married a wix, Muggle, or whomever lay in-between. As far as the Lovegoods are concerned, prejudice, bias, and bigotry are unwelcome in their household and, to this day, that is something that remains.

OCCUPATION:

Xenophilius never really did know what they wanted to do with their life. At first they wanted to be a doctor, then a botanist, an explorer or an herbalist. When they came of age and, unsurprisingly to some of their family, came into their magic, Xeno fell in love with the wizarding world and all it had to offer. They tucked runologist away, the language fascinating, and pushed dragon tamer far, far away.

Eventually, they settled on author, which came to them in a fit of mad-dash inspiration during one of his many, many silent nights in the Hufflepuff common room. Curled up with books was where Xenophillius found nothing to love more, so they resolved to do that for other wixen. They now edit their own paper, The Quibbler.

LIVING SITUATION:

Xenophilius lives alone, in a quaint and quirky townhouse on the outskirts between Muggle and wizarding London. After he graduated from Hogwarts, Xeno struck out on his own, eventually finding a small, ramshackle little home at the edge of London. The front door leans on its hinges and parts of the floors creak; the staircase railings don't match in height, color, nor shape, but he loves it. The furnishings are mismatched. The ghost of the top floor is lovely, if a bit of a poor conversationalist. The only constant companion in the place is his large, mixed breed, whom he calls Marlowe.

ORDER OF THE PHOENIX:

Among the Order, Xenophilius is just another intelligence agent, siphoning through the weird, whimsical, and wicked to find the truth. Much of the Order's most unbelievable information comes from Xenophilius because they’ve gone and dug it up. Before their official involvement with the Order, Xeno was a supporter in the shadowy group, though they may not have spoken such out loud. Instead, The Quibbler took what information it could find on this supposed “dark lord” and the group trying to stop him and printed it for all to see. While The Quibbler may not have as far spread a readership as the Daily Prophet, there are a handful of loyal wix who read the information and spread the truth they see out into the wizarding world, all leading back to Xenophilius’s network of information. It is because of this information that they were able to put the pieces together in the first place, bringing to the Order some of the most pertinent, and undesirably, darker rumors of Voldemort’s plans. Namely: his quest for immortality. What Xeno knows and what they have learned, however, is only in pieces; they do not have all the information, but that is why the Order is there, is it not?

As for how Xenophilius feels about the Order? Well, they certainly believe that what the Order does is necessary. If they have to hide in the shadows to get the results you need, then Xenophilius has no problem with that.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Regulus Black: Ever since Regulus Black has arrived, Xenophilius has been curious about him. His leg pains him, just as Xeno's whole body pains them, and Xeno hopes that they can at least ease some of that burden with the alternative tonics, potions, and medicines they've acquired (Muggle and magical). Additionally, Regulus's perseverance and his prickly, brittle pride are traits that can be understood in themself, and Xenophilius empathizes with it.

Alice Longbottom: Despite his attempts to befriend the younger woman, the Auror terrifies Xenophilius. He cannot quite put his finger on why or how or what even about her causes such a visceral reaction, but every time they're in the same room, Xeno's skin crawls. Perhaps it is her authority, or the heavy-handedness in the way she deals with all things; regardless of the reason, Xeno is glad to keep his distance from her, and she, no doubt, wishes to keep away from him.

Reginald Cattermole & Nate Fletcher: Xenophilius is delighted by Reggie! Reginald is always a helpful person, even if it is for his own gains, and Xeno has gotten some of their most useful information filtered in from him and his sources. Nate is wherever Reggie goes - no surprise there! - and, thus, they are connected in Xenophilius's mind. Where one goes, the other follows. They hope the boys remove what blinds them soon, for their own sake.

Hestia Jones: Two years younger than Xenophilus and a year below them in school, Hestia was one of the few Hufflepuff who didn’t mind Xeno being around. While she does have some…ways about her that he doesn’t always like, Xenophilus values Hestia’s opinion and will often go to her to discuss something, particularly when it has to do with intelligence. Xenophilus has no qualms or concerns with Alastor Moody, he’s a darling man, but Hestia is…less busy and, occasionally, more approachable, more familiar (though sometimes she really isn’t) and Xeno finds conversation easier with her than others of the Order.

OOC EXPLORATION:

SHIPS/ANTI-SHIPS: Xenophilius/Chemistry is obviously always on the table, but if I ever got a Pandora I'd love to explore them because I think they're two kindred spirits. [ If they are together, too, I also kind of headcanon that they have an open relationship to account for any preferences and such from both parties, though that can be discussed with anyone who wants to take her.

INTERPERSONAL STRUGGLES:

Xenophilius fears not being enough, not being able to find the lead they need fast enough, not being able to get the information out to the Order in time. There is so much that could hinge on passing the right information along, speaking to the right people, that sometimes it petrifies them.

Additionally, Xenophilius fears that their chronic pain and anxiety, despite their healing tonics and medications, will get the better of them. That this war will get the better of them. Xeno often has sleepless nights, tossing and turning to worry over the wix they've come to care about in the five years they've been officially fighting.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? Well, Nat was the initial catalyst and her immediate send of the Moody bio, but I'm staying for the amazing plot and the kickers people.

PLOT DROP IDEAS (OPTIONAL): I would really like to see some of Xenophilius's information he gathers from his sources of the weird and whimsical to be wrong and for that to have a major fallout within the Order. People get hurt, information gets out. Something. I think it could add a ton to the game and the relationships of the Order as a whole.

ANYTHING ELSE? Since this doesn’t really fit anywhere else, I was going to say that looking at Xeno’s personality made me realize that he may be autistic, to some degree, which would be really fun to explore. Otherwise, I cannot think of anything else to change or add about him.

EXTRA FOR NON-BIO CHARACTERS:

HISTORY:

Xenophilius Lovegood was named after his mother's beloved family dog, and the rest of his life was colored by that choice.

His mother, Sotiria Palaioakos, came from a curious family of Greek Muggles. Located in Laconia, the family was rumored to believe in the most intriguing of things from the fantastical to the quizzical. There were rumors, once, of a great-great-grandmother having been a witch long ago in Sotiria’s family tree, but the information passed down was only stories. No record ever existed of yahyah Deianira’s life outside her birth, marriage, and death. That information was all lost during Sotiria’s immigration to the United Kingdom. But, we shall get to that in a moment.

When she was in her late twenties, Sotiria met the man who would become her husband: Eustratius Lovegood. A quirky, intriguing young man from the small, provincial island of Mytilene, Eustratius moved between this world and the wizarding world like water rolled off a duck’s back. Few in the small community cared whether or not he and his family were magical, as most of the island itself was filled to the brim with magic. Eustratius believed that Sotiria, being from a different place, would not be happy with such information but, when he told her, as all the Lovegood’s told their spouses of their magic, wiping memories if the reaction was…less than positive and hiding in plain sight, Sotiria was utterly delighted. She and Eustratius existed in their own little world, one where magic, the weird and whimsical, were beloved, and so their child came to grow into this world, too.

Xenophilius was an inquisitive child, always underfoot, watching his mother’s handcrafting – a variety of Muggle seamstress work that Xenophilius would also take on as they aged – and his father’s catalogue of creatures, which he cared for through his job with the Ministry's Beast Division. Though there was always an inquisitive mind, there was a kindness and quietness there that prevented Xenophilius from being sorted into Ravenclaw. Though it was a hatstall, Xenophilius would find their home in the Hufflepuff common room, a quiet, humble existence with few, true friends beyond the kitchen staff and the castle ghosts. This was not, as it were, due to Xeno’s unlikeableness. No, far from it. But Xeno was strange, was peculiar, and that prevented even the most openminded of wix from befriending the child.

This existence meant that Xeno was often in their own little world, flitting about between Muggle and wizarding practices and customs with ease. As Xenophilius aged, they came to recognize this not as a hindrance, but as a boon, something to be used and utilized for their chosen profession - editor and author of The Quibbler - and supporter of the Order, initially only on the sidelines but, soon, a full-fledged member of their own.
