WWP- Xerxes Satrapi the Manticore

It sure took me long enough, but I was finally able to come up with a satisfying design for Persia Satrapi's older brother, Xerxes.



I'm pretty happy with how he looks

Xerxes Satrapi the Manticore (Age 23)
OutCry’s frontman & part-time guitarist.
Xerxes is the older brother of Persia Satrapi & half-brother to Dario and Electra Opovlov.
You know that wicked cool brother some kids wish they knew? That would be Xerxes. The khamsa charm on his neck belonged to his late father Xanthus Satrapi, who died in a car accident when he was a boy and his sister Persia was a toddler.
Thanks to his step-father, Atticus Opovlov the winged sphinx, Xerxes developed a very strong interest in music, which led to him and his best friend Mason Bridges deciding to form a band called OutCry.
OutCry gained such a following that by the time Xerxes and his bandmates graduated they left to go on tour. The first thing he did before he left home was suprise Persia with a custom made guitar he'd ordered just for her.
He still writes/calls/emails back to his family when he has the chance.
His guitar is named “Lydia”.

Developing Xerxes’ character is going to be an undetermined work in progress.
I’m having the worst trouble coming up with details that illustrate how cool he’s supposed to be, not to mention what makes him so important to Persia and Dario. Everything else I typed up for him makes him so utterly two-dimensional that it‘s not funny… -_-;
