Fighting Style:

Xicohlnas likes to fight with bladed weapons, preferring his own swords. His style of fighting varies from battle to battle, but is mainly a hit and evade strategy, also showing favor towards grouped combat; leading soldiers into battle. In some situations, he is a fickle for grace and elegance. Showing a liking to swordplay on evenly set terms, though he likes to fight without protective gear, even when training.

The reason for this is however understandable; given he is a Lycan, his metabolism provides a means to regenerate from wounds. Because of this, Xicohlnas' body can rapidly heal light wounds. Deeper wounds take more time, ranging from several hours to days, though loss of limbs takes months at least.

Silver, being his weakness, is the most obvious element to use against him; Xicohlnas is for all intents and purposes a Werewolf that appears Human, therefore is extremely averse to silver. Wounds inflicted by silver differ from what weapons are used and how deep the injury is, but should any of it pierce his organs, it undoubtedly would be fatal.

"I'm not like other Generals or Leaders; I don't enjoy sending my men off to die in battles that can't be won. Lives come before the mission."

Xicohlnas to one of his officers.

Xicohlnas is compassionate and genuinely cares about the common folk, however, when pressed into combat, he is a fierce fighter. Though he is or was a Military man at some point in his life, he has respect for all cultures and shows he does have a liking for formality. In terms of Military matters, he prefers to fight on the front lines with his troops, though he will take the 'Hilltop General' role if the situation demands it.

His rule over the Land of Dragons has been long and necessarily harsh: Through his Empire, the people are able to stand together and united, his world is able to form one of the strongest in the Galaxy. He is at the center of the Empire, sitting on the throne, simultaneously carrying out a multitude of vital tasks. Though he's not normally involved in the day-to-day ruling, he dictates to his court the most important and far-reaching decisions.

During his time with Riku, Xicohlnas was a military man at heart, dedicated to the military as an institution. He spent nearly his entire career in army service, from entering the academy to the beginning of his own reign, minus only three or fewer years on vacation. Xicohlnas regarded the Military as the closest thing he had to family.

He spent far more time in Kingdom Hearts than he did anywhere else, and considered it the closest thing he had to home.

He dedicated his entire career to the military; internalizing its values of discipline, order, efficiency, and obedience to authority, and admired it as a prestigious and honorable institution. Xicohlnas was a meticulous and efficient commander and expected the very best of his subordinates, and his units were exceptionally efficient. Despite his discipline and loyalty, however, he had a fondness for the female gender which resulted in his being something of a womanizer, though he never settled down with any one woman except a girl named Cassie.

____________________
Affinities: He is a master tactician and has shown a very extensive knowledge of Evil creatures, most especially Demons. Other than that, he is a skilled swordsman and combined with his great strength, he is a formidable fighter. With much of his early career spent in the Military, Xicohlnas is also an excellent strategist and commander of troops.

Aside from his martial skills, Xic has a loyalty that evolves into a bond that once formed, is not easily severed. This is further exemplified with the fact that the Emperor rules the Land of Dragons as a being of Light: It is through his indominatable will that the Darkness is kept at bay. Were it not for his unceasing struggle, the powers of Evil would flood into the Galaxy and cause untold madness and horror.

Weaknesses: Given his Lycan side, Xicohlnas is badly weakened when he is exposed to silver. Simply looking at it makes him uneasy, but if any kind of silver were to pierce any of his organs, it would be fatal. Other than silver, Xicohlnas' greatest weakness is more psychological: His compassionate nature may sometimes cloud his vision, as if given the choice between winning a battle or saving lives, he will choose the latter without even thinking.

Another major weakness of Xicohlnas' is how he is trusting: He is more than willing to forgive someone who has done him wrong, but only if they show they are truly remorseful.

History:
_____________________

Very little is known of his life before his recent appearance in the Galaxy; though Xicohlnas will share details of his past with those he trusts, he states that he left his past and his homeworld behind to explore the Galaxy and to bring order to a lawless universe. Xicohlnas joined Riku in the past and worked his way through the ranks of the Kingdom Hearts Military and became its leader as General-in-Chief.

Xicohlnas' command style boosted the morale of his subordinates through victories, but also through his clear dedication to his superiors. Officers and crewmen serving under Xicohlnas admire him for his lack of concern for personal glory, wanting only the defeat of the Empire's enemies and the establishment of order.

It was later theorized that Xicohlnas did not support the Empire's oppressive policies per se, but rather wanted to establish order in the known Galaxy simply because he felt it was better off that way. Finally, when Xicohlnas left Riku and Kingdom Hearts, he only did so very reluctantly. Having become emotionally attached, Xicohlnas swallowed his pride and did what he felt was best for the Galaxy and took the reigns of the Land of Dragons.

At his core, he his both noble and savage: The epitome of the masterless Knight, seeking to understand his past in the hope it will lead him to a brighter future.
