Xan of Tuhnt
Qaxlagon Carmnian (a.k.a. Fuxoona Glizell "The Legs of Trilly")
Next to her, Xan perched on the edge of the couch. May thought perhaps the cones in her eyes had shorted out. His irises were entirely too green, his suit was entirely too purple, and his hair was entirely too orange and combed into a perfect pompadour. “So, how much time do I have?” May asked. “I wouldn’t know, I’m not an actuary. You look pretty healthy though. Pretty young, I’d guess four-and-a-half thousand orbits?” “What? No, I mean how long before you turn me in? I was trying to escape.” She rubbed her forehead as if she could rub away the events of the past day. Leaning back a bit, the alien blinked his eyes in sequence rather than in unison. Whether this was an alien thing or a him thing, May was unsure. She knew with certainty, however, that it was unsettling.The irony that, translated into English, his name means "the people's defender" is both not lost on him and sent him into another 1000 year slump.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Most Tuhntians have impressive night vision. Xan, however, had spent entirely too long gazing lovingly at the Audacity’s eye-searing hull, enraptured by the beauty of the Obtrusive Orange paint, mesmerized by her smoothly arching curves. His vision was, consequently, absolute shit.
Body Features
His skin is pale blue with green undertones, he's short for a Tuhntian and, as a result of living with May, eats more than he ought to, giving him a bit of a pooch around the middle. His face is cartoonish and would be decidedly unattractive on anyone who didn't have his charm.
Modifications
Traditional gauged ears, Show Spoilerpierced tongue (when he switches tongues with Aimz in Book 2)
Who can pick up whom
On the "Who can pick up whom" scale, Xan can pick up May June July with no difficulty but cannot pick up his sister, Aimz of Tuhnt, who can easily pick him up.Physical quirks
Rarely sits properly, uses his nose to do things more often than he should.
Special abilities
Charisma points through the roof, his charisma is the only reason he's still alive. Learns languages super fast, but the invention of the translation chip made this skill absolutely useless.
Apparel & Accessories
Always wearing thick black boots, usually has on black gloves as well. Typically wears a latex racing suit with a coat. Always goes for the dramatic collar. When wearing a t-shirt, he always ties it up into a crop top. He has a mid-range BEAPER , Luck Charm (Probability Modifier) (gifted to him by Yvonne), A'Viltrian Translation Chip .

Gender Identity
Not on the human gender scale, but his gender translates most closely to "he/him"

Tired. He's completely uninterested in sexual relationships due to the nature of his job.

Studied languages. That career option kinda fell through with the invention of translation chips, though.
Employment
Star Taxi driver, The Agency , rocket racer (by proxy, he's not good at it)

Not as dumb as he seems, not as smart as you'd hope.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Motivated by a near constant undercurrent of depression and self-loathing coupled with an intense desire for friendship, acceptance, and absolution.
Likes & Dislikes
Virtues & Personality perks
Massively loyal to May June July , The Audacity(Ship) , and Lucille Ball in that order. Upbeat and usually happy. Welcomes death, handles physical pain pretty well, but cannot take emotional pain.
Vices & Personality flaws
Lazy to the point of preferring to die than work his way out of a given situation.
Personality Quirks
Uses his nose to press buttons, work his BEAPER. Takes off his gloves with his teeth (there's frequently glitter in there and it gets everywhere). Blinks in sequence. No concept of personal space. Rapid fire changes the subject if he's not interested in talking about something.
Social
Social Aptitude
Charismatic, ingratiating personality.
Speech
Uses a lot of filler words (alright, so, well, ect.), talks quickly and goes off on anecdotal tangents frequently. Speech patterns change depending on who he's talking to. Talks even more when he's nervous. He uses morbid or self-depreciating humor as a coping mechanism.
Relationships
Nicknames & Petnames
Xan calls May "starshine" referencing the song "Good Morning, Starshine" from Hair. "Mun" is also thrown around a lot and May picks it up after a few years.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
They both love watching movies and talking about trivial Earth things. May is influenced by Xan to take an interest in her appearance and becomes a little vain. Xan gets caught up in May's competitive spirit.
