Mien
Sometimes being Kept makes irrevokable changes. Ian was Kept as a special slave and his mien reflects quite a bit of those changes. His eyes are as blue as the spring sky on a cloudless March morning. His skin is soft, with the faint signs of a tan begining to appear. His features are ageless... smooth yet there is a hint of "oldness" in his eyes if he stares at you too long.
Mask
Xanti is a carefree fashion bug. He dresses for either comfort or flair from a subtle base to flaring spring colors. His eyes capture something too wild to describe. Not what one would describe as drop dead gorgeous, he can pull off a t-shirt and jeans just as well as a tux with the exubrent flamboyance that has a charisma all of his own.
Mantle (Spring ***)
He gives off the scent off freshly mown grass, or a subtle first bloom of jasmine and lilac.. or is it lavender? The colors somehow seem brighter on him, rich and vibrant... there are times when he gets nervous that the distinct odor of violets can be detected.
More to Come
HiStory
It was a warm spring morning. It was ordinary and the year was 1989. George H. W. Bush was newly elected as the US President. Japan started selling the Nintendo Game Boy and life was good. Oh that serial killer... Ted Bundy got the electric chair too. Life goes on. The main thing that was remembered is that the morning started off cool for April. He had to take a windbreaker before starting off to school. Then the sun rose and it got hot. It was a half day of school and leaving early was going to change his life in ways unimaginable. He was handsome enough, but young. He just got a job waiting tables and had an interest in fashion. Then IT happened. The world stopped. The air shifted and Ian blinked.
What happened between 1989 and 1994 for the young man was never uttered to another soul. It won't even be written here. But it did shape him into something different and special, if not perhaps a bit twisty. 20 yr old Xanti entered the world with a flair for the exotic and worked to keep things interesting.
He tried to go home. Mistake. He did not know what to expect... but that boring hetero hugging his mother wasn't it. Mr. Blake, in college, dressed in black slacks white shirt and blue pinstriped tie... ugh. So Solanum ran. Unfinished business. But the streets were somewhat kind to Xanti... making the right friends at the right time kept some money in his pocket and a roof over his head. Xanti found that he had a way in manipulating the unwashed masses with charm grace and presence.
Now 33, Xanti has changed the Red Light district into something more... lavendar. A splash of color that keeps the night intresting.

Quotes
Jesse Helms and Newt Gingrich were shaking hands congratulating themselves on the introduction of an antigay bill in Congress. If it passes, they won't be able to shake hands, because it will then be illegal for a prick to touch an a**hole. ~Judy Carter
My own belief is that there is hardly anyone whose sexual life, if it were broadcast, would not fill the world at large with surprise and horror. ~W. Somerset Maugham
The next time someone asks you, "Hey, howdja get to be a homosexual anyway?" tell them, "Homosexuals are chosen first on talent, then interview... then the swimsuit and evening gown competition pretty much gets rid of the rest of them." ~Karen Williams
"Yeah, you might just think he's another cwel in the neighborhood, but he knows the streets in a way you and I do not. For that and more, I am glad to call him my brother." - Murphy
