[INSIDE]
Personality: Xander is a loyal friend who will always try and make his Friends laugh, even when it isn't appropriate. He will stick by his two best friend no matter what they do (Willow's evil moment, case in point)
He's also capable of some serious seriousness when needed. He's never without a smile if he can help it and always knows how to turn a bad situation good, at least in theory. In practice he may end up making it worse.
What he lacks in smarts he makes up for in enthusiasm for what he's doing. He may not be the best at research but he'll give it his best effort until he's begged to stop and even then he'd try and find some way to help.
History: Xander Harris was born and raised in Sunnydale. He spent most of his time with his best friends Willow and Jessie. Xander actually dated Willow when he was five, right up until he stole her Barbie. Though out the years he, Jessie and Willow were the best of friends, even inviting them over to his house on Christmas and doing the snoopy dance for their amusement.
A couple of weeks into his first year at Sunnydale High he saw Buffy Summers and immediately developed a huge crush. He talked to her and returned her stake that she had dropped when he first talked to her.
Whilst looking around in the library for a book he needed for the homework he wasn't gonna do that night, Xander over heard Buffy and the stuffy english librarian (He hadn't bothered to learn his name at that point) talking about something called slaying. Within two days of overhearing this his friend Jessie had been turned into a vampire and Xander was forced to stake him.
Later that year Xander revived Buffy from the dead, cementing their friendship forever. The next year, his advances on Buffy unreturned he began to date Cordelia, much to the dismay of his friends. The romance didn't last when he was caught by Cordelia having illicit smoochies with Willow. Shortly after Xander was dumped by Cordelia he lost his virginity to Faith on one of the more interestingly bizarre nights of his life. He thought hat there might have been a connection but there wasn't. Luckily he found love again in the form of ex-vengeance demon Anya who he took to prom. The next year he officially started dating Anya, and was forced to move into the dingy basement and get a job.
The next year Xander started his job in construction which he as done well at and has enjoyed immensely. The money from that job allowed him to buy a new apartment that he shared with Anya. Later in the year, before the fight with Glory, he proposed to Anya.
With Buffy dead wedding plans were placed on hold, until she came back from the dead. On the day of the wedding Xander decided that he couldn't go through with it and left Anya at the alter. Even though he still loved he he knew that she wouldn't take him back right away. But when he saw her varnishing a table with Spike it was the straw that broke the camels back.
The next year he began work on finishing building the new Sunnydale high building, making sure it was free of anything overtly mystical. He aided Buffy in fighting the first's main minion Caleb, and lost an eye for his troubles. To top it all off Anya, who he was starting to patch things up with, died at the hands of a bringer.

RP Sample: Xander was trying his best to be a good fiancé by helping around the magic box. He’d begged Anya to take a break from the magic box cos he was worried she was working too hard and after a lot of pleading and an offer to do a bit of work for her he got her to leave the store in his semi-qualified hands. He was in the basement looking through the jars of disgusting looking things he still had a hard time believing anybody would ever buy “Toad Intestines... yeah those are gonna sell well” he said to himself as he wrote them down on the checklist he was working on. He was determined to get everything written down and check it against the order form he’d seen Anya working on, it wasn’t that much but at least it was something.
Reaching up to the top shelf he pulled down a jar of something that looked like purple sparkly sand “Definitley an ingredient of some sort... what sort I have no freaking clue but it’s definitely a sort” he said as he looked for a label, a note, a word written on the lid in biro he wasn’t exactly fussy at this point. “OK I shall call you random shiny crap” he said to the jar as though it had some kind of ability to understand speech.
Putting the jar back where it was proved to be more difficult than he thought it’d be, there was something right where he wanted to put the jar. Holding the jar carefully under his arm he reached up and fumbled around until his hand hit something slightly sticky. “Ewww” he muttered as he brought it down, smiling as he realised it was the missing sign “Pigs Bladder Powder... Ok that’s just made out of large amounts of eww” he put the label on the jar and put the jar back on the shelf.
Piece by piece more and more weird and disgusting items were put up on the list “I so better be getting major amounts of late night smoochies for this” he said as he put back a jar labelled ‘Ground rat droppings’. He was about to go for another jar when he heard the bell rigning upstairs ‘Oh please be Anya, please oh please oh pleeeeeeease’ he thought as he ran up the stairs 2 at a time, his list tucked under his arm as he ran.
He opened the door that lead out of the basement and into the main store and saw a customer, at least what he thought was a customer. He looked around for a second wondering if anyone else was about that could do the whole serving and money and helping thing but there wasn’t anyone about that he could see so he took a big breath, placed his list next to the cash register and braced himself “Hi, welcome to the Magic Box... can I help you in any way with finding things or spelly stuff? I’m better at the finding things than the spelly stuff but if it’d help I can try and I should probably stop babbling now” ‘Smooth move dumbass’ he thought to himself, almost certain he was gonna scare off the customer.
