Xemnes' hometown was far off in the lands away from the war, promising a possibility of a happy life, but that was only a stretched possibility, life is much too cruel to allow such a chance, especially for him.
Ever since Xemnes was born there was a great confusion. His hair was a brilliant white, he was as pale as a ghost, and his eyes were a vivid red like the Xitian. The townsfolk were in both a horrified, and disgruntled awe in contrast to the parents who were filled with a more curious, and gleeful state. Right off the bat the father decided to name him Xemnes, Xemnes Esrok. However, the townsfolk sided with a different name, or rather several different names: The White Devil, The Devil in Angels Clothing, or other variations as such.
A few weeks had passed and the parents had found some details regarding his unusual appearance. His bright skin, and his eyes were vulnerable to the sun's rays, and his eyesight wasn't exactly 20-20 either. They had to adjust(as all parents to) to their child's weaknesses. When he was young he was wrapped up in a blanket, and had various mixtures of oils, and berries to spread on his face to prevent burning. When he reached a sufficient age(six) they taught him how to carve masks(he couldn't wear a rag all his life, it restricted his eyesight too much.), and how to create the oil & berry blend to prevent any possibility of sunburn... hopefully that is. Around that very same time his mother began to get weary, and was put out of work for a while. It was then that Xemnes had to take her place in the farm. Now, normally Xemnes wouldn't go out all that much, but that didn't mean he wasn't eager to finally be allowed to do something other than just carve masks, and play the piano.
He learned how to harvest the crops, and how to sheer the sheep. He was still a little bit too short at that age to try milking the cattle, but that was fine. There was plenty of other work he had cut out for him such as watering the plants, placing new seeds when the season came around, and feeding the animals. Normally this would be too much work for the average kid, but Xemnes was eager to prove himself not only to his parents, but the village folk that he was not a useless waste of space. He was eager to learn about as many things as possible.
His attempts were in vain.
The townsfolk saw him as nothing more than scum, and would often be caught spitting in his general direction which he would usually reply with making antlers with his hands, and making unseen faces. Those were the nicer days. The others involved him running away, or getting in fights with people who either disliked him a great amount, or were just in a bad mood. He knew no one would do anything about it. No, they would only interfere if he lifted a finger against the opposing side. They expected him to just stand there and take it, but that was not the case at all. He fought with the best of his ability, and was either thrown inside his home, or he would limp, and crawl his way over, covered in bruises. He was just too young to be dealing with something like this, no, no one deserved something like this.
A few months after it became clear that his mother was pregnant yet again, and this time with twins. This of course meant even more work for Xemnes(not that he minded), and his father.
It was like that for about seven months, and just about three days before Xemnes's birthday they were born... well, only one of them lived, but that wasn't the surprise. It was yet another Albino. As usual the parents were filled with glee, but this time the villagers were thrown into a rage. They claimed that the family was cursed, and should leave immediately, but they refused, claiming this was their home, and they had done absolutely nothing wrong, and helped even. The villagers were not hearing it, and they shunned them out.
Xemnes at that time vowed that he would not allow anyone to harm her like how they had to him. He would change himself completely even if it meant keeping her safe. All harm to him was irrelevant, and even if he had to shut himself out of the world he wouldn't cry. She needed someone brave, or at least appeared as so. She needed someone who could protect her, no matter the cost. He would just hide behind his smiling mask, and say that "It's alright".
They decided to live far off into the lands, and start over where they were completely alone. No one could judge them there, and unbeknownst to them, the wars did not reach them there either.
They all lived their lives in peace for about Fifteen years. Within that time Xemnes learned how to take care of the crops, horses, sheep, cattle, and also how to sew(His clothes would break every once in a while). In that time he continued to practice carvings masks, and his flute playing(Alice and him would often sing duets together while they both played).
A normal day(Then again, there was no normal days) with these two usually went along the lines of them either playing patty cake, and shamelessly playing dress up, or even sometimes them both doing a little bit of roleplaying.
~~
"The backstabberin' feif carefully snook around the sleeping guards, and stealificated all of their jewels!"
"The sleepificated guards remain blissfully unaware of the crooked thief's attempts, but..."
Alice lifts her head, standing on edge.
"The magical teleporting ticklesnout has appeared out of nowhere!" Xemnes pounces on Alice, attacking her sides with tickle attacks.
Alice cries out in both surprise and delight, "Xeeemmineess! That's cheaterifiating!"
"Says the thief." Xemnes stops his actions, and ruffles her hair, chuckling to himself.
Alice gives a playful pout, and ends up snickering as well, "You're the best brother ever, Xemminess!"
"Yeah, I know." Xemnes peeks his tongue out briefly before leaping back up to his feet, "Race ya' to the haystacks!"
"Ehh?! W-Waiit!" Alice scrambles up to her feet and races back after him.
~~
His sister... was everything to him to say the least. He would willingly throw himself in front of an army if it even meant so much as allowing Alice to live happily. Sometimes it could be a bit of an obsession, but he still wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her. Not one person, no matter how, or how much.
~~
Alice came home one day, rubbing underneath her eyes. She was obviously distressed, and was definitely crying for at least a few hours now.
Xemnes raises his head, and immediately hops over his couch, "Alice..! What happened?"
"It's... nothing, really, it's okay..."
"Alice... please, tell me. I want to help."
"...I... I don't think I can."
"Why not..?"
"Because whenever I do you always come home injured..! You take things too far Xemmi..."
"Because I want to protect you. I only come back with a few bruises anyway. I'll be fine." He pulls a confident smile, and winks.
Alice stares up, and frowns, "That too... you always lie when it involves you. Even if it is better for others you... you can't just keep willingly harming yourself...!"
Xemnes bit his tongue, staring to the side, "Can you at least tell me what happened?"
"He.. rejected me."
'He'? His eyes flick back, staring down at her. Who in the right mind would reject her? She was gorgeous, talented, and unbearably nice. So much that he wanted to just squeeze her to death--or rather until she told him not to anymore, but she never did. She was too kind to say otherwise.
"I'll take care of it." He ruffles her hair, and crouches in front of her, "Everything will be alright, I promise." He offers her a brave smile.
Alice pounces him into an embrace, pulling a wide smile.
~~
It did not take long for people to take notice of this fertile, and mostly unowned land, and began to take up what the Esrok's did not already take. It only took about a year, and a small town was made filled with people of various personalities. All were perfect for pranking opportunities, and if he was honest they were MUCH too easy.
~~
Xemnes contently walks through the sidewalk, humming gleefully to himself while he walks down the trail. He spots a man walking toward him, "Hey you!"
Xemnes lifts his head, and gives a wave.
"Where is Alice? I have some important buisiness with her." The male sounded more than agitated.
Xemnes pulled a wide smirk from underneath his mask, "Ashually, I'm Alice! Do you wantificates somefin from me?" He speaks in a surprisingly feminine tone of voice.
"Y-Yeah, I... I really liked you Alice, for a really long time."
Ohcodthetemptationiskillinghim!
"R-Really? I really like you too!"
"W-Wait, you do?!"
"Yeah! I've wanted you since the moment I saw you, please, oh please... marry me!"
The man twitched, and began to blubber out nonsense, "I-wha...I don't... you... you want me to... but we're so young!"
"Love holds no boundaries."
"So does this mean that I can...?" He extends his hand slightly.
"Anything for you, dearest."
The man slowly extended his hand, and cupped Xemnes's man breast.
Xemnes faked a moan, "Oh honey, there is something I have to tell you."
The man lifted his head, "Y-Yes? What is it my angel?"
Xemnes drops his voice, "I'm a man." He pushes the man away before prancing off in the distance, humming while the man(now scarred forever) sat in silence.
~~
Out of all of Xemnes's pranks, this was probably one of the lighter ones. It was not long after that he had met a fragile kid named Kaden. He didn't know him all that well at first, but all he knew is that he was picked on almost as much as he was back when he was a kid(luckily no one here knew of their Albinism).
One day Xemnes just happened to be at the right place, but wrong time. He was in a large field of tall grass. He couldn't see perfectly well, but he could hear a few yelps, grimaces, winces, and some other noises that could be easily identified as violent. Xemnes glances around for any sort of tool he could use to give him an advantage... ... He found none. This was no time for delay. Xemnes carefully stalked closer, keeping his head held low. He could see movements. There was two men pinning one slightly taller man down, and one man sifting through his belongings. The standing man had a hand full of gems, and was grinning to himself, "Maybe you're not completely useless after all." Xemnes wasn't sure why, but that stirred something inside him. He clenched his hands into fists, and pounced forward, connecting his fist to the other man's temple. To his surprise, he actually managed to knock the man out. It... was probably a lucky shot. Regardless though, that movement left him completely exposed to the other two men who were blinking over at him in confusion. However that confusion had ended quickly, and they dropped the already beaten man to the ground before charging at him. Xemnes's first instinct was to slide to the side, and give a quick round-house kick toward the one on the right. The kick was successful, but that left him open to the second man who had taken a sharp turn, and pounced him to the ground. The impact left him in a daze, and by the time he had gathered his bearings he would find that his mask was already taken off, and the sun shone on his now exposed face, and eyes. Fuck, it hurt. He found himself turning his head, and closing an eye to keep the sun off of them. However this distraction just left him even more exposed. He felt two hands connect to his neck, and squeeze. He gasped, and squirmed beneath the... what... five HUNDRED pound man above him? It was probably an over exaggeration, but the guy was like a goliath. Xemnes desperately attempted to topple over the man by shifting his weight around, however his attempts were futile when he felt a shoe press on his face. From what he could tell, it was the guy he kicked not so long ago, "Well I'll be damned. It's actually you, Devil." Xemnes twitched at the name. He stared up at the man more intently, but he couldn't see past the blinding rays of the sun. Did it seriously have to be right above him at this time? Of course not, but that just so happened to be the situation. He couldn't see a damn thing. He heard the sound of clicking metal, and his attention was once again redirected for a brief moment before he continued to struggle, and attempt to breath.
The shoe was removed, and the first thing he saw was the silhouette of a knife. He immediately opened his mouth to scream, but the man that was once struggling him covered his mouth. He did the first thing that came to mind. He licked, and bit the hand. The man's hand moved away for a brief amount of time, and he used that time to scream, "HELP!! SOMEO-mrph!"Aand the hand went back on. This time the man(just going to call him strangley for now) had both of his hands firmly pressed over Xemnes's mouth, determined to keep him quiet. Knife-man leaned down, and chuckled at him, "You have no idea how much I wanted to do this, and now look, here you are. It's like a gift from above if you weren't the scum you are." He lightly glided the knife over Xemnes's cheek not quite cutting it yet, "I am going to enjoy this." He grinned from ear to ear before lifting the knife up. Xemnes's eyes widened, struggling beneath the man while he screamed into his hand. Time seemed to slow down as the knife descended, connecting into Xemnes's left eye. Pain struck his body in harsh waves, and he screeched into the hand. His unharmed eye was tightly wrenched closed, then open, and frantically looking around in all directions. He was only able to catch a glimpse of his eye's silhouette in the man's knife. He cut off the connecting nerve, sending yet another wave of uncontrollable pain through him. It was too much for him... the pain was just too...too....
Xemnes fell unconscious, and the events afterwards remain a mystery to him. When he awakened however, he was in a bed, on a ship heading toward the forbidden lands. His eye was patched up, and missing. He still had his clothes, gloves, and his newest mask(Black with several aligned real canines. The pain was still present, but of all things the first thing he could barely even whisper was,
"Where... is Alice...?"
Ever since Xemnes was born there was a great confusion. His hair was a brilliant white, he was as pale as a ghost, and his eyes were a vivid red like the Xitian. The townsfolk were in both a horrified, and disgruntled awe in contrast to the parents who were filled with a more curious, and gleeful state.

It's alright, It's alright
I'm the one playing the fool for you
the insignificant
Pierrot of a small circus
Perfectly round, like the moon
I keep balance on top of that ball
and fall in extravagant fashion
It's my job to be laughed at
I noticed you, crying in the audience
Don't look so sad
Those tears your mom and dad aren't aware of
I noticed them
I had to wipe them away
It's alright, it's alright
I feel no pain or discomfort
If you laugh for me
It's alright, it's alright
I'm the one falling clumsily
Balancing on a ball,
the Pierrot of a small circus
You kept crying and said
Your lies are sad
I haven't said even a single lie
At those words
you burst out crying again
You don't show it to the audience
what's under that mask
Show me the true face
that you were hiding
When hurt, be in pain
When it's hard; scream
There's nothing shameful about it
It's alright, it's alright
It doesn't matter if you can't laugh properly
So that you'll never lie again
It's alright, it's alright
it doesn't matter if you can't bear it
I'll cry along with you
It's alright, it's alright
You found it for me
My own face that I was about to forget
It's alright, it's alright
It was just like magic
Look, the lying Pierrot
has now vanished

Dusky/Emerald Eyes(Dusken) â¥+
*My best friend by far. She was the first to help me, right after Marty... (I miss her too) She helped me get through my anxieties, my introversion(people now probably wouldn't have noticed it now. Some perhaps, but not all). I... loved her, I still do really, but I... loved Aru too. I just hope that she can find someone she can be happy with. Lyrxi would be a great choice... ... but I'm not her, I can't choose things for her.
Aru/Arururu/Ru(Arua) â¥
*Arua is by far one of the kindest people I have ever met. Right up there with Dusky. She is always so kind to me. She always listens. I can actually confide in her. ... I really... don't deserve her.
Caius â¥
*I don't see him do much of anything anymore apart from petting Galileo. I wonder if he's sick.
Blondie(Dawn) +â¥
*She was(still is, really) a good friend of mine. She helped me through some tough times, but at the same time she...
"You know, I really wish that you jumped."
Ezzie(Ezri) â¥
*Mother of Bishop. She's a close friend of mine, taught me how to use a sword(briefly), and is married to Rook. She used to be a pirate, and just from one conversation many, many years ago I can still tell that she misses the ocean dearly.
Rook â¥
*I still feel really uncomfortable being around him ever since the desert. It's painful how much he reminds me of my own father, especially with that look. He's married to Ezri, and well, I'm just glad she as someone to confide in. Even if he and I aren't exactly on the best stand-point.
Conradianâ¥
*The co-leader along with Zark. ... He is one of the few people that actually listens to me in a political sense.
Zarky(Zarkaylia) â¥
*The other co-leader of the group. She has a son named Thomas, I don't know him too well, but I was at least able to do something right by helping them both.
Lyxie(Lyrxie) â¥
*First off, Lyrxi is a man. I have no idea how I mistook that before. Second off, ... He obviously loves Dusky, and I really... hope she loves him back. He is a really great guy. unlike me
Michie(Michelle) â¥
*She isn't anything like how she used to be. She's pretty chipper at times.
Mittens(Mittendri) â¥
*Still a blacksmith, still friends with Ezri, she isn't that bad.
Rev(Revalox) â¥
*Dawn's boyfriend... I still know nothing about this guy. It's almost like he's never around, and from what Dawn has told me, he isn't.
