About

Name: Vaexir [VAY-zeer]
Pronouns: they/it/we

Species: Xaeco
Masterlist: Xaeco-222

Theme: Sad Machine | Porter Robinson

Vaexir is best described as intense. Whether they are eager, angry, sad, or any other emotion, it comes and goes like a burst, with Vaexir uninhibited in indulging their emotions. Fortunately, they do not anger easily, with their most common moods being curiosity and either delight or boredom, depending on whether they're entertained by their current activity. Perhaps unfortunately, they take it upon themself to butt into others' affairs, be it other realitykin or mortal beings. 

Vaexir has a hobby of infiltrating electronic systems and rifling through private data like they're taking a stroll through a public library. If they find evidence of someone scheming, going through a hard time, having relationship problems, or anything else interesting, they might delve into the matter further and send a few messages—whether to the person directly, to another recipient, or both—to get some exciting developments to happen. For the most part, their actions are benevolent or neutral, or at least truth-aligned, though they have certainly been the cause of many headaches and spilled secrets as well. 

Abilities

Vaexir has the general abilities of Xaeconians. They have "windows," lines on their body (though many of these are hidden for Vaexir) that can freely open and close to show their innards and expose their blood, which they can form into various tools and use for versatile purposes. They can also push the limits of their shapeshifting blood's abilities through intensive training to enter their "Parasite Form," which heightens their physical strength, speed, sight, and hearing. 

As a Xaeconian, Vaexir has control over the aspect of "emotion." In their case, they can easily read the emotions and intent of others, with more focus allowing them to metaphorically peel away the layers of motivations to understand what sorts of things drive others to lead the lives they do. This is more effective on mortals than on realitykin. 

Additionally, Vaexir has Cyber elemental power. Their blood takes on a cyberspace-like appearance, and can infiltrate any electronic objects they touch to allow them to read, understand, and manipulate all sorts of digital systems. They can also enter "cyberspace" entirely, experiencing the digital world as another form of reality and allowing them to interact with digital objects and files freely. Firewalls can deter them somewhat, but with some analysis or brute force, Vaexir can break through them. 

History

Vaexir was born on Planet Xaoc, but it wasn't long before boredom overtook them. One day, they took off into the greater universe, seeking something more thrilling. They inserted themself into various mortal societies in various ways, but it was never all that fun for all that long—they were so fragile, so weak, so sensitive, so short-lived. 

It was an encounter with Haxathia that made things take a turn. Vaexir was both astounded and impressed by the way Haxathia was always so moved by so many things—how they never tired of it, and even sought more. Haxathia explained some of their experiences and what drew their emotions to them, and as Vaexir heard about the depths of the psyche Haxathia delved into, they became curious. So, they continued to wander, though now with more focus on analyzing and understanding the psychological states of the mortals. 

Eventually, Vaexir found a fairly advanced civilization—one that was in its internet age. It was unlike other worlds they'd seen, and they dove into that world with eagerness. They spent many decades there, coming out of it with their new "hobby" and a form settled into their power. 

Relations

Haxathia • Friend
Haxathia and Vaexir are good friends, with Vaexir the one to give Haxathia their nickname of "Xathie." They are often quite enthusiastic when meeting each other, though in very different ways—Vaexir with intense, eager friendliness, and Haxathia with intensely emotional delight. Every now and then, they meet and exchange stories, sometimes traveling together for some time after.
