“Born wishing for a better life,
He would fight and toil and go through strife,
Now a made man he still yet thirsts,
For to live forever is his chosen curse.”

Character Sheet:Link to Mythweavers.Appearance:
Standing at an even six foot, David is a little taller than most men one would find. With deeply tanned skin, a gift from his father being from Chora, David is conventionally attractive. His hazel eyes sparkle in the moonlight, while his dark brown hair is kept in an immaculate pony-tail, as is his beard which is perfectly trimmed. While generally dressing extravagantly, David has changed his attire since departing on his quest. Now he wears a set of dark leather armor as a base, covered with a nice dress shirt and pants. On the top layer is a large brown jacket, which goes all the way from David’s shoulders to his leather boots.
Personality:David is a driven individual, always having some kind of plan in mind. He can go quite stir crazy if he’s not actively doing something and as such will make sure that his days are chock full of activities. At first meeting David appears to be a sociable man, able to get along with anyone, making them feel good. But this is actually years of practice, David having figured out how people work by purposefully making the transformation from fisherman to businessman. David has become quite good at manipulating people, often playing along several people at once, making them do what he wants.
However this mastermind type of life has left David with few real friends or people that matter to him. He is estranged from his father, he hasn’t been able to maintain a romantic relationship, and he just ends up using most people he meets. This has left him with a sense of emptiness in his life, one that he has tried to fill with many things. Wealth, status, renown, none were enough for David. That is until his current obsession of living forever came about. David wishes to become a living legend, a piece of history that all future generations could not ignore.
Backstory: Born the son of Petros Xanatos, a poor fisherman, David had an unremarkable childhood. His father had left an island near Chora for a better life in the Americas. And yet he remained poor there, spending his day fishing along the eastern coast. From a young age David proved bright, and he dreamed of making something of himself, something to be remembered.
David would struggle against the limits of the fishing village he lived in. He wished to leave and do better things, but he had not the money needed for such a trip. That was until he was a teenager, when a mysterious courier gave him a package. In said package was a single gold coin, but what was special about the coin was its age. Dating thousands of years back, this coin was worth a fortune. Immediately nosy neighbors began watching David, wanting to see what he did with the coin.
David would decide to disappear one night, using what funds he had saved to make the trip to the big city. Once there, David looked for a potential buyer of his coin. While several people were interested, David was a fierce barter and would not settle for anything but the best. When he did finally sell the coin, David used his monetary windfall to start his own company.
As David aged, his company grew, eventually becoming known as the Xanatos Trading Company. And even with his wealth, David felt not at peace. While it seemed that his company would outlast him, David became obsessed with immortality. Researching as many magical texts as he could get his hands on, David eventually believing that such a thing existed in Camelot.
Crossing the ocean, David would arrive in the less civilized northern part of Camelot. However, due to time magic situations, David would never find the Magus’s Tome and as such wouldn’t learn of the cursed Gargoyles of Wyvern Clan. Instead David would learn of Avalon, a mysterious island of the coast of Camelot that may actually be its own plane.
David would spend years trying to find Avalon, until he met a man named Owen Mercer. David would quickly deduce that Owen was in fact the Fey known as Puck. Eventually, Puck would take David to Avalon where he met the Fey King Oberon. After proving his intentions to Oberon, David was offered a choice, become immortal now or gain the power of Oberon and control over Puck. In a moment of ego, David believed that he could find his own way of becoming immortal and thus chose the second option.
In making this choice, David was bonded to Oberon, gaining his power, but also a duty to help him when called. David and Puck would then depart Avalon and head back to the Americas. With his new Fey-powered Warlock abilities, David would set off on a quest to find his own way of becoming immortal, leaving Puck, in the Owen Mercer identity, in charge of Xanatos Trading Company.
I wish…that I could live forever, be a part of all of history.
