Xander is an out, gay man who’s never had a boyfriend, because that would mean he had to get emotionally and physically close to someone. Xander writes the campus manga, which, because there’s a lot of Japanese influence in this college’s history and founding, is a story of adventure and enlightenment and has Buddhist and Japanese themes. In fact, it’s very much informed by Japanese manga, which is a style of story art we’d called comic book. ![]() And, he’s captivated by both Xander and his art, which leans toward a Japanese style. When Xander says he’d rather have his art destroyed than repaired, Skylar’s confused why his charm isn’t working. Skylar isn’t satisfied unless he’s pleased everyone, including his generally disapproving father, his ambitious mother, or the administration at Benten College. There is no acceptable repair, to Xander’s mind, and he wants nothing to do with all that mess, fraternities, or Skylar. ![]() Xander makes no habit of socializing with people in general, and he’s not happy about the golden boy of Delta Sig, Skylar Stone, trying to make reparations that would be suitable to Xander. His sophomore year art mural was defaced by a couple of pledges to Delta Sig, a fraternity on campus. Xander Fairchild is a senior art student at Benten College and seriously mad. ![]()
