Background (Click to Show)
Xander was a Viking back in 1066 AD. Despite his young age, he was enlisted and helped his Viking friends raid successfully. His favorite weapon was the axe, and he could beat anyone with it. One day, Xander and his crew went on another raid. Unfortunately, Loki wanted to have some fun and shipwrecked his crew. He then decided to single handedly fight these Vikings in close quarters combat. Xander watched in horror as his friends were slain by the god and could not take it. He stood up to Loki and challenged him to a one-on-one. If he won, Loki would have to set his friends go, but if he lost, he would die (obviously). Loki was surprised when he found himself losing to Xander and cheated. Xander and his crew were slaughtered. Saved by Valkyries, Xander's soul was brought to Valhalla, the resting place for heroes. He stayed there for a long time and mastered his axes, eventually creating his own unique fighting style and weapons. Sometime later, he was corrupted by Loki, who admired him. He turned on his fellow Valhalla-mates and killed many of them. He was captured, but Loki intervened and sent him back to Earth reborn as a human.
Weapons (Click to Show)
- Chained Axes:
These are actually throwing axes attached to gauntlets on his wrists. They were forged by blacksmiths back in Valhalla and therefore are unbreakable. Xander wears a big axel on his back to store the chains. This is very similar to Roadhog (http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Roadhog) from Overwatch.
- Giant Axe:
A giant version of a standard battle axe that is very heavy. It can cut through metal.
Abilities (Click to Show)

Xander's unique style of fighting which revolves around his chained axes. Xander has worked up his shoulder and arm muscles and can throw his axes at high speeds.
- Iron Hurricane:
Xander spins his chained axes at high speeds, which can block projectiles and easily cut things up
- Bandanna???
For some reason it boosts his power. It was given to him by Loki (hence the green color). Obviously, this is a Roronoa Zoro (http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Roronoa_Zoro) reference.
Weaknesses (Click to Show)
- Durability
A few good hits can take him out. Even though he spent many years in Valhalla, he is still a normal human.
- Arrogance:
Xander underestimates his opponents quite often; which can lead to his downfall.
- Xander’s chained axes:
Remember, these are connected to his wrist gauntlets, so if an opponent manages to avoid getting hit, he/she can pull Xander by grabbing the chains.
- Weapon-reliant
He needs his axes to do well in combat.

Escape from Valhalla
The dining room in Valhalla was bright, luscious, and colorful. A great feast was set on the tables, but the room was empty. Xander ran across the dining hall: across the elaborate fountain in the center that filled him with memories, across the podium where the director would stand to make announcements, across the food filled table that made his mouth water.
He saw three more guards charging him, one of them being his friend Nick. He threw one of his chained axes at Nick, who blocked it with his round shield, Xander pulled and wrenched his shield away, breaking Nick's arm in the process. Nick groaned and fell. The other two guards ran toward Xander swinging their swords at him. Xander expertly partied all of the strikes, and smashed one of the guards with the head of his axe. The guard screamed as Xander dispatched his companion with a single stroke. Nick climbed back up. He could not comprehend what he was seeing. Xander was his good friend, and now he was slaughtering all of them. As Nick was in shock, Xander threw a chained axe into the other guard and slammed him into the ground. Nick charged, his right arm hanging uselessly by his side. Xander flicked his blade away with no effort and slammed his chained axe into Nick's throat. Nick sputtered his last words: "It's... too... la..." and died, his lifeless body making a thump on the ground. Xander's eyes flashed. Was that a hint of regret? He stood there for a while, mourning his friend's death, when suddenly multiple arrows came flashing out of the air. He spun his axes round and round (iron hurricane technique), creating enough velocity to stop the arrows from reaching him. His other friends, Linda and Leon, were on the balcony of the dining hall shooting arrows at him. This time Xander showed no mercy. Two chained axes flashed by, hitting his two friends with such force that his axes went through their bodies. The floor shook with the thunder of footsteps. A huge group of guards and warriors arrived on the scene. They surrounded Xander and drew their weapons... (to be continued?)
