Personality:
One will find that Xanxus does not have many redeeming qualities, if he even has any at all. To start off, he is a cruel, cruel bastard. Xanxus doesn't care about anyone but himself; he has even said that the safety of his own subordinates doesn't matter to him. If they die, that just means that they've outlived their usefulness. He is completely incapable of feeling compassion, sympathy, or empathy for anyone; he usually finds the misery of others to be quite amusing. In addition to being heartless, Xanxus also has a major superiority complex, truly believing that he is better than everyone and everything. There isn't a single person he considers to be on the same level as him. He addresses others in a spiteful, sometimes condescending manner and typically refers to everyone as "trash" or "scum." Xanxus does not have the broadest vocabulary out there, and he takes great pride in his strength, so it is very easy to assume that he's nothing more than a savage brute. However, Xanxus is actually quite intelligent; he's not a genius, but his intelligence is definitely above average. After all, it doesn't just take power, but also brains to be the leader of an elite assassination squad.

One of the most important things about Xanxus is that he is a very angry person. In fact, he is the very embodiment of wrath. Xanxus never forgives, and he never, ever forgets. His fury is so great that the very reason Squalo refused the position as Varia boss and gave it to Xanxus instead is because he admires Xanxus's wrath. However, he typically gets angry for very petty reasons, such as his meal not being cooked the way he wants it. The main way he expresses his anger is through violence, never hesitating to attack the source of his anger and break various objects in the process. When Xanxus gets truly angry though, for a not-so-petty reason, that's when all hell breaks loose. This is the anger that has won him the respect and fear of many, including Squalo.

When he's not so angry, however, Xanxus is very quiet. He rarely says a word to anyone unless it's absolutely necessary, or if he feels the need to harrass them. He is extremely anti-social and will usually give short responses; sometimes none at all. Xanxus also never gives personal details about himself beyond his name, and maybe his age if he has to. Therefore, he is a rather enigmatic man; the only person who knew about his whole past is Squalo, and the other characters didn't find out about it until Squalo was forced to tell them everything when the Vongola Rings rejected Xanxus due to him not really having Vongola blood in his veins.

Because Xanxus was spoiled throughout the last bit of his childhood and his teen years, he has become incredibly picky. He expects nothing but the nicest things, and if he doesn't get just those, he will throw a fit. Xanxus has also become very lazy due to being used to his subordinates doing everything for him, whether it be getting him food or cleaning up after him. He has taken quite a liking to sitting in his comfortable, velvet throne and is typically seen drinking some sort of alcoholic beverage, usually tequila or whiskey.

While Xanxus's relationship with the Vongola Family as a whole is a little shaky at best, he is still incredibly loyal to his family, and wants it to be the very best that it can be. Even though he still disapproves of Tsuna being the Tenth, he has given up actively trying to get him out of the picture and has resolved to just verbal disapproval rather than plotting to kill him. He treats Tsuna's guardians the same way. However, when an enemy family tries to mess with any of them, Xanxus won't object to sending help when it's absolutely necessary, a perfect example being when the Varia shows up to assist the Vongola during the final battle against the Millefiore. Because of his loyalty to the Vongola, Xanxus refuses to let his personal feelings get in the way of achieving victory against their enemies. He'll even listen to orders from the Ninth when he has to, and it's no secret that Xanxus despises the man for lying to him throughout his whole childhood about being his son. He still hasn't, and never will, forgive him for all that. After all, he would actually have to be related to the Ninth in order to be eligible to succeed him. Finding out that he was just the Ninth's adopted son crushed his hopes and dreams, and he places partial blame on his mother, as well. Xanxus used to love and trust both of them as much as he could, but ever since he found out the truth, he can never again see them in the same light as he did before.

Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Not only is he strong physically, Xanxus also has great stamina. Neither are as great as they used to be, but still good enough for him to fare better than the average trainer.
+ He knows how to take charge.
+ Xanxus is best known for his ability to intimidate people; he can usually do it pretty damn well.
+ He is a very skilled marksman.
+ Although this could also be seen as a weakness in certain aspects, Xanxus doesn't give a shit what other people think about him and is not afraid to do whatever the fuck he wants, despite popular opinion.

× Xanxus has quite the nasty temper, and it's really not that hard to set him off.
× He has a tendency to be rather blunt and cruel, so he isn't very well-liked by others. Not that he cares.
× Once you make his shit list, there's no getting off of it. Xanxus cannot let go of grudges. Ever.
× Xanxus is lazy as fuck. He hardly ever does anything himself, but until one of his subordinates shows up, he's going to have to learn how to.
× Picky is Xanxus's middle name. He absolutely has to have the nicest things and his meat has to be cooked to perfection or he will flip shit.

Samples
First Person Sample:
[Xanxus sure wasn't expecting to wake up back in Johto; and in a Team Rocket uniform, no less. He may have been willing to tolerate this if he had his old Pokémon on him, but nope, they're all gone now. All he has is a shitty level 15 Bagon and an even shittier level 5 Koffing. Further inspection of his stuff reveals that all of his badges and old items are gone, as well. Unamused does not even begin to cover it.

Since he can't turn on the video while he's dressed like this, he'll just send a text to the network instead.]


Which of you shitheads has my fucking level 100 Pokémon? I want them back. Now.

[The others don't matter as much to him, so whatever, the dumbasses who are stuck with those fuckers can keep them.]

And Killua, Belphegor, Lussuria: I want to know where you are, if any of you are even still fucking here.

[Once that's sent, Xanxus immediately gets up from his bed and, instead of just opening the door like a normal person, kicks the goddamn thing off its hinges, causing it to fall over, and storms out of the room to take his anger out on anyone who's unfortunate enough to run into him. Oh look, he's probably already one step closer to being fired!]

Third Person Sample:
(Just gonna use my old third person sample for this one, sorry. I hope this is okay. ;;)

It took a whole goddamn month for Xanxus to get his Magikarp to level 19. One month. Hell, maybe even more than that. Ever since he found out what Magikarp could evolve into, Xanxus dedicated all his time and effort to training the useless piece of shit, and it was no easy task. It didn't help at all that Magikarp was beaten way too easily. He even neglected the other couple of Pokémon he managed to capture along the way to make sure that his Magikarp evolved as quickly as possible because Xanxus was sick of dealing with that stupid, pathetic excuse for a fish. He'd take the giant blue sea monster any day.

Adamant on making the damn thing evolve today, Xanxus spent the majority of the day in Route 35, hunting down various Pokémon for his shitty Magikarp to beat. Despite being four levels above the majority of the Pokémon they encountered, the poor fish still suffered many beatings. Not just from the wild Pokémon, but sometimes Xanxus, as well. However, the beatings from its master no longer surprised the Magikarp much anymore; it was well aware of how pathetic it was, thanks to Xanxus giving it so many self-esteem boosters. After being taken to the Pokémon Center for the umpteenth time, Magikarp decided that it was going to try really hard this time to make it down that final stretch. It wasn't too far away from reaching level 20, and it wanted to make Xanxus proud for once.

The last part of the training went a bit smoother; Magikarp won more battles and wasn't kicked or insulted as much by Xanxus. Then, the moment that the both of them had been looking forward to for so long finally came; Magikarp reached level 20. As soon as that happened, the orange fish was engulfed in a blinding white light, which gradually took on the form of Gyarados, the Atrocious Pokémon. Once the light faded, the giant blue Pokémon let out a proud roar and, in a moment of excitement, slammed its huge tail against the water, which created a large splash that flew in the direction of the shore.

When Gyarados looked over at Xanxus to see his reaction to the evolution, who was standing by the edge of the lake, he was completely drenched in lake water, and looking very pissed off. Then, he said the two words that Gyarados was hoping to never hear again.

"...Fucking trash."
