 c h a r a c t e r ▪ i n f o r m a t i o n
M E A N I N G: Thanatos is the Greek god of death, son of Nyx (night) and Erebos (darkness) and twin of Hypnos (sleep). In early accounts he was perceived as a fearsome, sword-wield specter. In later accounts he became associated with a gentle passing in one's sleep (as he is often depicted in art with his twin). "Thanatos" was the name given to him by his father. "Xan" is the given name from his mother, which is an abbreviation of Alexander (also his father's name); meaning "defender of men." His mother translates in native tongue as Mamoru, meaning "to protect". Wovlerick is the Gaelic form of wolves.
B I R T H D A Y: June 30, 1979 (28 years old)
A P P E A R A N C E: He stands six feet six inches tall, has a lean athletic build, broad shoulders but is not large in bulk or sickly. He takes leisure walks and is accustom to hard labor which has aided in his form. His eyes are Persian (mint) green. He has natural platinum hair, worn long to mid-back; or on off days worn in a samurai inspired ponytail. His style of dress is country mixed with jazzy. A white Stetson as his signature accessory, he wears a checkered dress shirts, often with the sleeve rolled up, a suit vest with tie and matching dress slacks with boots or dress shoes. He can often be found with a bit of stubble under his chin. His base scent is of hickory, mixed with chocolate and a hint of peach.
O C C U P A T I O N: He is a host at Searan's Host Club; often referred to as the "Cowboy Host". He is a gentle and reserved man but tends to blush at the slightest compliment. His style of hosting is natural, reserved, going with the flow. He likes deep conversation over a glass of wine or tea, relaxed atmosphere with no pressure to entertain, and pleasant customers that are not overbearing or demanding of his time or attentions.
P A S S I O N: He tends to be passionate in everything he does though he may not show it. He favors white wine, cakes, salad, peach tea and chocolate over most anything; chocolate being his courage (vice) where alcohol lacks. Taking long candle lit baths, reading romance novels, and keeping up with current events via newspaper are other passions to name a few. Playing the piano is an all time passion which he takes seriously with pride and joy, the sensuality of which he plays his "ivory ladies" can vouch for his status as a pianist. He enjoys classic ballads and jazzy tunes preferring such musical selections over today's tunes though he's not picky either way. With a pansexual orientation, Xan does not discriminate between men or women and will go both ways; so long as the person has captured his heart (he has an affinity toward shota-types). Exclusive relationships are top on his list but he is willing to bend only for his lover if they are comfortable in their decision. Despite his reserved nature, he likes to takes charge in bed - dominating rather then submitting - on the plus side he's a gentle and kind lover due to his romantic nature.
L O A T H E S: He is absolutely against brutality and violence against women, children and animals. He cannot stand being manipulated or placed in situations that would force his hand. Backed into a corner he will retaliate without question if only to protect his well-being if placed in life threatening or compromising situations. Arguing over mundane events/topics are simply beneath him and he'll prove that point with lack of involvement on his part. Leave the drama at the door he prefers to keep his life simple if at all possible; dramatic people need not apply as he does not have the energy to deal with highly emotional situations or persons. Don't get too involved with his personal life or situations as he can be quite clipped and agitated, he prefers to keep private matters his own. Although curious he will not pry where other's are concerned unless they divulge information of their own free will.
P E R S O N A L I T Y: Xan is a shy gentleman cowboy, always polite and cajolery to those that he meets. He's not as talkative at first meeting folks as he is after becoming comfortable around them. He has the typical mannerisms most country boys have but they are not carved in stone. He tends to blush a lot despite himself and has his moments of nervous tension. Even so, he can easily slip into a roll of domination, taking charge of situations if the need is great. He is a hopeless romantic and can't help romancing the pants off those lucky enough to win his affections; on the flip side, he doesn't like being attached for fear of hurting those he cares for. Aggressors of love need not apply. Fawning all over him or trying to manipulate his affections will get a rude awakening. The best bet is be yourself and let nature run its course.

April 25, 2008 Life can sometimes be difficult, I have realized. When things get out of hand I tend to run and hide, lock myself away and try to forget the discomfort. It's no different when I suddenly decided to pack up and move to the big city. My pa was horribly against it but the way I see it, I'm a grown man, capable of making my own decisions. It it was the hardest thing to do. Never does a day pass that I don't see Lala, standing on the front porch waving her silent goodbye. Here I thought if I left in the middle of the night she wouldn't miss me. That girl.. she knew me better than anyone. My baby sister. Gonna miss her terribly but this was for the best. Too many folks were causing problems with us where I was concerned.
Catchin' a train my life would start anew. Things would be lookin' up and the money that I made in the big city could be sent home.
The only thing I hadn't taken into account was just how big this city was. It took longer then expected to find myself a place to stay. Eventually, I just holed up in a local hotel. When things were settled, made some rounds looking for work. The area where I lived was filled with clubs and bars, some bakeries and other assortment of places were scattered about but there was one place that stood out. A new place... Searan's Host Club.

April 30, 2008 So it's been about a week since finding this place, Searan's Host Club. I find myself drawn there without even thinking. Like a moth to a flame, every day, noon or night I take up vigil at the bar. Usually the regular patrons and employees are milling about chatting it up about the latest rumor to swirl about the place. I find myself hearing more about a particular host then anyone else. His name is Brad. Peircing indigo eyes, ebony hair, broad shoulders and a warm smile. Though these are just minor details...
It appears to be an everyday occurance with him. Waking the next morning to have my usual peach tea, I sit at the bar and there it is. Brad's name slips into the air with the latest rumor on everyone's tongue. Though I haven't heard them all I can't say I'm not interested. Ah well... rumors are rumors. If they have some truth who am I to judge?
On another note my journey into the club seems to have captured a young soul. His name is JJ, strapping young lad, ash grey hair, smokey blue eyes, and a pout that is almost too much to resist. I want to kiss him but can't. Imagine my surprise when he beats me to the punch. Frozen in my tracks the only words I could muster, I should have give some thought. "Don't fall for me." Did I sound like some kind of playboy?Reminds me of those old Western shows my pa drilled into my skull growing up. Usually the cowboy would warn the maiden against fallin' for a vagabond like himself. All that was missin' was the black and white monotone colors and the sappy background music. I should be so lucky...
Along with that, I also find myself chatting it up during the late hours with a young man by the name of Tai, he's a regular customer. Fiery hair that falls down his back, cat like orange orbs, and the strangest of personalities. It isn't horrible or anything but he's still strange. Seems he likes to tease me too; but the strangest thing is I find myself wanting to tease him back.
Never will understand myself around these people. They push and pull so many different emotions it's hard to keep them in check. Only time will tell...

May 01, 2008 A few days since JJ's unexpected kiss. I still think about it but there's nothing that can come from a relationship between us. He's still young, just barely a man and needs time to grow before he knows what he wants in life. At least that's my take on it and I'm stickin' to it.
Beside that his company is enjoyable, when he blushes or the way he tends to be right up under me. It's comforting in a place I'm not familiar with. Probably why he acts the way he does... it's endearing and I wouldn't change anything about him. Being at the club has been an experience to say the least.
On this particular day I took notice of their applications for hire. It appeared they were looking for hosts. This both startled and intrigued me; there wasn't a bone in my body that agreed to being a host. So of course I inquired about it to JJ. He seemed eager for me to be a Host, almost demanded it. Laughter... it was all I could do. The boy was too adorable sometimes. But yes, I didn't want to be a Host, last thing on my mind. So what do I do... Sign up of course... to be a host. Absurd. Utterly absurd. Guess I'll find out about everything soon enough.
My hands were trembling when I turned in that application but once it was out of my hands there was nothing I could do but wait. Either the job was mine or not. Either way, this was a job hunting process, work was work.

May 04, 2008 Interesting... I got a call back from Searan. Or at least once of his associates that deals with the club. They wanted me to come in for an interview. Well that wasn't so strange. I reckon what was truly strange - for me at least - was the fact that my interview dealt with my body shape and size. A crisply dressed man stood in front of a three-way mirror with a pedestal waiting for it's next victim customer. He fussed and fawned all over me. It was -to say the least- quite embarassing but when it was all said and done I was sent on my way. Like I said, weird.
There wasn't much to do after that so I went back to the main floor of the club to mingle with customers and employees. It's getting easier to enjoy myself now. Though there's no reason to be shy around everyone, it seems I just can't help that feeling. The first chance anyone gets to tease me and my cheeks are all flushed with the rush of blood. Why can't they just leave me alone? Nah... I'm not upset. It will take some gettin' used to. Even while I think this, watchin' the way Brad carries himself... S'ppose that's how I wish to be. But then the rumors start up again and I'm blessed to be what the good Lord made me. Until next time..

May 05, 2008 I suppose the fitting was just the first step in me getting the job. They had to get my measurements in order to decide on what kind of clothing would best suit me. I'm surprised really, the down home country charm look was not dropped. I wasn't even supplied with expensive Italian suits or anything. Something simple and more to my liking. I loved it but was still rather self-conscious about it. Even as I stepped from the dressing room the seamstress beamed with a becoming blush to her cheeks I had to hide myself under my Stetson. Ah.. that hat... I think they understood how important it was to my overall presentation as a host. Gotta thank them for that.
Upon hiring pictures were taken for my ID, it looks rateher interesting. So many different poses they wanted but eventually this was the end result:
Later that day I went back to the club to wait for JJ at the bar. He noticed me instantly and was happy for my hiring. We had a few words amongst each other. S'ppose he was worried that I'd start giving him the "host treatment", whatever that is. Wasn't really up on the lingo in this place but apparently due to the way Brad fought between his hosting persona and his true persona, others felt that all hosts would have that two faced quality. Not saying Brad was two faced, he's a really charming down to earth fella. It's just that, folks come in for that get away affect. Hosts are their get away from reality and it appeared we were expected to perform as someone we might not be. That I couldn't do, so all of my hosting duties would consist of me being myself and nothing more. JJ was worried I'd be kind to him out of obligation rather than true being... that's hogwash. He's a dear friend to me, host treatment my hind side. There's no way I'd treat him anything less than what he deserves.
Now my only delima... insecurities and lack of confidence with myself. How does a shy country bumpkin get over such things? Where does one country slug fit, in a high class club nestled deep in the city? I can only wonder. Until next time...

Shop RP with JJ and Tai I don't even want to talk about it. How dare she even assume I'd go along with this. She's still too young for marriage. Lala is only 18 to my 28 years. Some p***k out there 30 year old man things he can just come outta the blue and wisk her away without my having met him? The hell with that... Thankfully my attention was momentarily distracted by JJ and Tai. Both of them were like beakons fo light to me. I was too livid to even remember what we did but I just hope I didn't upset anyone.

Thanatos x Gunnar
Location: Dorms; late morning to afternoon [COMPLETE]
Particpant(s): Gunnar Moving time! To say the least it was quite eventful. I got to meet one of the other hosts, a German man named Gunnar. He was so golden and bright upon first meeting him, almost blind sided me. After getting my things situated we conversed a bit, had a little talking session that led to a musical encoure. Man it felt great to get behind the ivory keys again and play until my wrists hurt. Incidentally, Gunnar hurt himself in the process playing his guitar. All in all we had fun and I think rooming with him will be rather fun.

Midnight Sonata
Location: Dorms @ mid-night to early morning [COMPLETE]
Particpant(s): JJ Lately I've noticed a constant unsettling air around JJ. He's a wonderful young man to be around, growing up nicely but beyond that there just can't be anything between us. I find myself drawn to him either way, though it's nothing romantic even though it may seem that way from those on the outside looking in...
Maybe there's something to it but even after he kissed me I didn't pursue anything with him. He's still too young and I've been down that road before, it's not very fun. An older man dating someone quite young, it's frowned upon. No matter what society may think or say, it's just not appropriate. For me... well age is only a state of mind.
Either way, spending some quiet time with JJ helped to unravel a few uncertainties for the both of us. I'm glad we managed to talk but maybe there's something he isn't telling me. Honesty has always been a number one virtue on my list. I prefer not to be lied to even if it's to protect me against something painful. I'd rather be the judge of what is painful and what is not. It makes like easier if everyone just spoke the truth, some can't handle it but that doesn't change the fact that information; important at that is being held captive from the one person that should know.
Hopefully he'll let me know what seems to be hidden under the surface because there's no way I can read his mind. The most important thing... is keeping his friendship. Can't believe how greedy I am for everyone's kindness... guess it's a result of a failed childhood goal.
