Naughty Teacher Glasses |Special Item|
A special-type of glasses that are created from the Sennou Corporation.
The glasses are half lens, open at the top while the bottom is a diameter half. The top is rimless and the rim itself is a pink shade of color making it seems like they are the type of glasses a cliché school teacher would hear. On a beaded chain and around Xenneth’s neck, they hang loosely to sit upon his chest, and when placed across his eyes and a tap on the right ear where a small button lays, he holds it in order to “Scan” for the enemy data of a particular Shadow, Demon, or probably even a Persona-User who has an active Persona. (Which means this device can’t detect Persona-Users.) This item is special because it is usually used for Xenneth to record data that the Sennou Corporation can use upon downloading it from a small chip placed in the left rim of the glasses near the lens. These spectacles can tell Weakness, Resistance, and then processes if the enemy is under the influence of any special statuses or ailments making it easy for Xenneth to know how to approach a certain Shadow.
Magik Stick |Bo-Jitsu|
Xenneth Hikari is a naturalist in nature; this ranges from not only flowers, but in the way of fighting as well. As a young child and his psyche tampered with by Sennou, his potential has been unlocked in some ways that almost make him more passive. This, along with his devoted drive to protect his sister, allows him to become more disciplined and fight with a drive that controls and succumbs his persona to his psyche. However, this same drive backfires seeing his Persona reflects the arcana and personality which he can lose control of.
Physically, he is not very strong, but Bo-Jitsu reflects that nature since he uses the discipline in order to turn one’s strongest traits against them, showing that he fights in a more “strategic manner.” His practices of Bo-Jitsu do not even consider mostly the fighting techniques or offensive skills, but mostly evasion and his ability of movement. Xenneth’s most promising skill is his ability to invigorate himself through dancing and fancy body movements; constantly, his Persona, Ophiuchus, seems to be dancing and this makes it so that he can heighten the skills of his “Charm” abilities. Combine this with his body movements during battle and he becomes a force to be reckoned with since time isn’t on the side of one who fights against him.
Now about Xenneth’s weapon, the “Magik Stick.” This weapon is special in its way of altering Xenneth’s powers and abilities that are of Ophiuchus nature. Adorned with a pink hue and a black with the significant similarity of stripes on a warning sign, this pole has a swiveling round-about design of the colors that run from top to bottom in their slant. The very top is adorned with a weighted, flat pink heart-shaped instrument for a topper. The rod is specially designed by Sennou corporation and stands to be as tall as Xenneth in regards for balance in combat since it is used for channeling mental concentration and even has a wave length to appease to Ophiuchus and control a partial amount of her energies. It is retractable, and when is, it seems like a sized lollipop that makes it unsuspecting when Xenneth carries it around.
Swift, quick, and agile; Xenneth is a very elusive in battle and can be troublesome with his many damaging strategies and status afflictions, but in a physical fight and power, he may not be able to hold off.
Personality:[/color]
Xenneth’s personality cannot be summed up in words so simply...
A long time ago, maybe he could have been happy, he could have been content, but all that he feel now is probably shame. Even though it doesn’t show on Xenneth’s face, he constantly is in a passive show of guilt. His expression is usually a straight face or a weak smile, but usually this hides what he has felt every since his faithful day of cutting his own life span. His personality is true as he goes through his life being kind to others, loving his sister, but at the same time pushing himself away of intertwining with someone else’s life feeling as precious moments in his life are just “ghost days” before he meets with his maker.
Xenneth does not consider himself as a person anymore. Since his days that gone after his experimentation with Sennou, he has become mostly depressed and distant from his social life. He constantly reflects himself to be something apart from human because of his ability to summon Persona. Because of the nature of knowing shadows and demons exist, he feels alone and subjugated to a nature of fighting just because for the sake of nothing ever happening to his sister, and he knows no other Persona-users, so this makes it so he feels even more alone.
Thinking about others, Xenneth abandons his social life. Because of Ophiuchus’s ability and Xenenth’s lack of control, he is known as Sennou Corporation’s living “Cupid” because of his lack of control of his “Charm” ability and its exceptionally high potency. This makes him distance himself from people as, all his life, he has felt criticism and inadequacy because of how peers and people make fun of his appearance. Even though Xenneth no longer has this problem because of Ophichus strong ability to make almost anyone to fall in love with her (Who lacks a Persona), Xenneth misses the ridicule because he feels that all the love around him is faux. Regardless of this, he has grown to accept something he can’t change, mostly frowning as if he feels guilt that he has deceived someone’s heart.
As a Persona-User, Xenneth feels cursed. He does not like Ophichus, but he uses her like a tool to a large extent. Because Ophiuchus has the ability to combat shadows and demons, Xenneth uses her abilities for that purpose, but he loathes that he lacks control so she can do just that. Because of him learning of her abilities and its extent, he usually keeps a certain distance from people and avoids eye contact for the simple purpose of him not to entice or put them in a trance. Not only that, but because of Ophiuchus, Xenneth sleeps more since she expends his energy to the point that he sleeps twelve hours a day and not just the regular nine because of the fatigue. So, Ophiuchus has a strain on Xenneth’s life, but considering it was to make sure his little sister, Rosetta, grows up to live a normal life, he would not have it any other way.
In battle, Xenneth is not quite experience in being with other fighters. Because of Ophiuchus’s ability, this makes it so that it is difficult for Xenneth to cooperate with people since she doesn’t discriminate. However, regardless of this, he seems to be very versed in battle, often straying to the peaceful path and making it so Shadows usually fight amongst themselves, or fight not at all if they are affected by his charm abilities. Not only that, but it seems that he conjures a massive amount of shadows in order to attack any targets that seem too powerful for himself alone. To this point, he seems very strong when alone, but guilty since his battle style relies on manipulating the hearts of others.

History:
[/color][/center] Once upon a time, there was a family that was on the verge of falling apart and the love going with it. A husband that neglected a wife and two children in the pursuit of business, and the wife who was a mother who concerned for her two children in a small town of Okinawa. Of course, Ai Hikari, was not a straggler or hopeless woman as she spent her time doing what she loved: being a florist. While her husband was away, she tended to her flowers like they were children, and her children as if they were pure angels. The two children she fostered was a young girl who was curious with eyes that tried to capture the world and all its fascination in her mind and her oldest child was well...withdrawn from the world just a little: this child was Xenneth “Marie” Hikari.
Xenneth had been a young boy who had grown from an innocent shy child who hid behind the leg of the nearest trustworthy elder when he experienced something new, and became a very shy “No-Gooder” as he would call himself. When he was in grade school, he spent so much time trying to withdraw his self from public and being noticed, that it was often his little sister Rosetta who had taken up all the attention because of her mind and being a young prodigy. However, regardless of him going from his younger years of a tike to a preteen, he was not jealous, not the least bit.
Xenneth had always been a romantic-type through his years. The moment he turned twelve, he had already fostered a deep love for romanticism and fantasy. His favoring activity is watching romance on Television as well as reading it within books. His most favored were that of fiction that talked about friendship and matters of the heart, making him heavily be lost in his own ideas of making really close friends that he love and cherish. However, these were fantasies and dreams, not actual beliefs as he is a realist. Mixing his fantasy world with his realistic world of how he is ridiculed about how he looks, Xenneth dances on a line between a harsh reality that makes him hide these feelings of being someone and expressing himself, and then being simply withdrawn. The only person that saw that jewel of feelings he had and been close to him was his younger sister Rosetta and his mother.
However, tragedy struck...
One day, Xenneth’s mother’s illness had become worse. He had saw her being sick throughout the years, but she insisted she was okay, being strong for the family, and trying to hide Xenneth from the truth that she was getting weaker with how she had been dealing with stress in her life and had taken in all her family’s problems. Regardless of this, she had eventually tried to go on taking medicine while trying to be strong for the family, even Xenneth and Rosetta helping her in every turn. Ai Hikari had sadly progressed to the point where she was too weak to keep up her physical activities and had become bed ridden to most of her days.
This had caused for Xenneth and Rosetta to become mature around their age. With Xenneth the age of fourteen and Rosetta the age of eleven, they both had taken on responsibilities of tending to their mother’s shop; this mean having to make deliveries, running the register, and Xenneth taking extra time to work. At this point, Xenneth is overwhelmed with school, shop duties, and the occasional visit to his mother that he has little time for making friends and taking the interest into a teenager’s life. However, it is after a peculiar offer comes to him one day after a shop visitor that Xenneth is offered a promising job with very good benefits.
Xenneth moves to the city of Tokyo as he takes a job with Sennou Corporation...
At first, Xenneth was ignorant to his job, but he spent his first month sitting around his family’s new and refined shop that was now called “Tokyo Bloom.” The small shop was flourished with flowers supplied by his family’s usual dealers who invested in them more as they were now backed by the corporation, Rosetta was enrolled into a Tokyo Private School, and he found more time for school and working regularly; not to mention his mother was moved into a better medical facility. Everything seemed to go excellent, until Xenneth was called into one of the Corporation’s Facility for his first task.
He was sat down, he ingested a pill, his body exposed to a strange device that propped his mental psyche, and then he had felt one of the most straining, painful, and tiring pains in his life...
Within the next month, Xenneth had felt strange throughout his days: he had begun to tire more easily on certain days, and he felt nauseous at first, he had also found that people had acted strange around him to some degree as he thought they were becoming more friendly, but then he became suspicious as several people (male, female, and the occasional school teacher) confessed their “love” for him. Xenneth’s life had become a nightmare and he had found soon from Sennou Corporation that they had released a power within him that he needed to now control: the power of “Persona.”
Within the year and half that Xenneth had tried to control his power, it had started to come to use as he had become a “hit-man” to the Sennou Corporation and coveting some of their research that was needed on Shadows. With the technology they supplied him and the skill for “capturing” shadows by using his power to control others by affection that is strongly enhanced by the technology they supply him and the natural ability of the zesty, Snake Charmer: Ophiuchus, he seems to have earned the title of “Cupid” amongst the Sennou Corporation’s codenames.
During the day, Xenneth Hikari is a gentle and mellow flower shop owner who sits around with a sad aura about him, but during the night, he does anything the Sennou Corporation requires him in order to keep a good life style for his young sister and fading mother; his own heart’s weakness become the strings to controlling his unique Persona’s ability.
One thing hasn’t changed: that he’s still a dreamer, a fantasizer, and a loving person with a personality waiting to bloom with unraveled by his grim reality...
The Other Side
Ophiuchus of the Lovers Arcana
[/font][/color][/size]Ophiuchus of the Lovers Arcana
[/center]Type: Persona
Skills:
- Holy Arrow – Ophiuchus turns one of her slithering snakes that moves across her body into a mighty structured bow, and then loads the other onto it as it turns into a heart-shaped arrow emanating a strange aura from it. She fires it to inflict minor piercing damage with a chance of “Charm” on one enemy.
- Mediarama – Ophiuchus and her snakes that squirm across her start to glow a green aura about them. At the same time, they open the maw of their mouths as the green aura sprays about around herself and all allies that they channel it upon recovering them at a moderate amount of energy each.
- Sexy Dance – Ophiuchus’s signature technique she is well known for. Ophiuchus dances around in a provocative way when summoned, making it so that all targets around her have a chance of becoming charmed and falling in love with her. This technique is passive outside of battle and have the same effect on those who do not have Personas that will protect them from the ability.
- Stagnant Air – Ophiuchus and her snakes breath out a poisonous smog from their mouth. Of course, this usually smells foul, but actually this smells sweet and alluring for Ophichus, making it so that all around her have their guards let down and become more susceptible to her charm abilities, and any other susceptible status attacks from friends and enemies alike.
- Charm Boost – Ophiuchus seems to pride herself on love and affection, and thus this makes all her abilities that have to do with love and charm to be very potent. So, Charm-Based attacks are boosted by fifty percent of their usual potency and effectiveness.
- Null Charm – Ophiuchus is very strong of will when it comes to love and seduction, so much so that she herself seems to be incapable of falling in love because of her elusive ways. Because of this, Xenneth is incapable of falling prey to “Charm” type abilities and attacks.
- Amrita – Ophiuchus and Xenneth have a very strong ability that, as a part of their ability and power of “Love”, allows for them to release any bindings over other Persona users. By summoning Ophiuchus and gathering his strength, Xenneth is able to dispel any status abnormality. This works by freeing one of mental strain and focusing it on Ophiuchus in an instance, thus turning them to normal. In the physical and outside of battle, this is expressed as a cure by Xenneth doing one simple thing to his target: Kissing them.
- Invigorate 3 – Ophiuchus seems to have a vast amount of spiritual energy! This is wondrous and it explains how she constantly makes it so Xenneth’s social life is destroyed seeing she constantly fuels his spiritual energy, but drains his physical strength with her presence. Because of this, Ophiuhus constantly builds momentum and energy, allowing for her to cast more of her special spells and use her abilities while keeping a supple supply of mental and spiritual energy on hand.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths
- Water (Null) – Ophiuchus doesn’t mind getting wet. It does next to nothing other than get her excited.
- Darkness (Resist) – A snake always slithers in the dark, and love is not always a “pure” thing. Ophiuchus is the perfect example of this.
- Fire (Absorb) – Ophiuchus loves heat like a reptile does! When she gets hot, she gets energized and not to mentions he gets excited as she gives Xenneth more strength.
Weaknesses:
- Strike (Knock Down!) - This inflicts more damage than usual at Xenneth, but this is because he is not very good at direct combat. Xenneth is not used to being struck by blunt objects or direct contact because of how his enemies usually Ophiuchus spells enchants those who gets too close. So, if anyone is lucky enough to get close to Xenneth and land a physical hit upon him, he instantly is knocked off his feet, causing for his situation to become problematic since it takes a while to recover. A well-kept secret since it’s not often Xenneth is hit directly with physical blows to his fragile body.
- Ice (Ex. Damage) – Ophiuchus, part reptilian, has a complete weakness to ice-type abilities because of her loving heat. So, the moment this heat is drained, she is weakened, making it so that she is very vulnerable. For someone very powerful, she has major weaknesses since she sustains more damage and mobility is crippled.
Other info:
Ophiuchus, the Snake Charmer, is Xenneth’s awaken Persona. Ophiuchus takes the form of a naga, one that has characteristics of a human body for upper and lower being that of a snake. She has colorful and attractive scales, making her form represent some sort of feminine beauty and continually distorts itself because of Xenneth’s gentle personality and feminine-like appearance. Xenneth’s nature reflects Ophiuchus to be coveted behind a veil that darkens her face, most likely to continuously resemble how the true beauty beyond the sight is out of grasp to that of his nature as well as her own.
Ophichus is the thirteenth constellation apart of the zodiac. There are many stories that are circulated around its nature, mostly being that of the serpent that taught humans immortality by how it brought its mate healing herbs, something that ties in with Xenneth’s nature as he strives to prolong his mother’s life by constantly medicating her, his love for flowers, and his caring nature. Another form of the serpent in story is that of Adam and Eve as it was the serpent who brought temptation and sin into the world by tempting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit and discover the shame of their own nudity. Both stories may have significance when it considers how Xenneth’s shadow and Persona manifests themselves around his personality that revolves around his shame, uncertainty, and temptations; but his virtues of love, compassion, and good will.
