Who am I? Just a conscience!
Introduce yourself
Hey, howdy, hey! The name's Chris, and I wished upon a star from Mouse Ears. My other imaginary friends include Milo Thatch. Xanatos and I are so very eager to join the Worlds of Disney circle of life!
Character basics
Character name: David Xanatos
Age: 40
Species: Human
Birthplace: Bar Harbor, Maine
Movie: Gargoyles
Custom title: Revenge is a sucker's game
Why'd you pick this character? Xanatos is one of the most unique antagonists in all of cartoons: he rarely takes things personally, is a great admirer of his enemies' qualities, and is often willing to take a loss to advance a larger goal. To plop him in the middle here would be a fascinating neutral force, I think.
Character appearance (try to get at least 2 or 3 sentences for each section)
Hair description: Xanatos has dark brown hair. He ties it in a ponytail most of the time.
Facial description/mood/expressions: Xanatos' face is in a pleasant mode at most time, affable and such. Though this can shift to more determined, self-satisfied, or angry expressions as the situation permits.
Clothing style: He primarily dresses in impeccably tailored suits. If he is training in martial arts, he will wear a gi, as well as wearing appropriate clothing under his gargoyle armor.
Body build: He is tall and broad-shouldered. His muscles are more tight and lean than bulky, though.

Original character analysis (In your own words and please be thorough)
Personality:
This is not to say the man is completely cold and clinical. He has a generally affable demeanor that's not even an act most of the time. He has a dark, mischievous sense of humor, often expressing it in the form of barbs or one-liners that get under people's skins. And he is genuinely in love with his wife, Fox (a fact that actually surprised him when he figured it out), and their son Alexander, and he will do anything to defend him. His morals are just a little...loose and malleable at the end of the day. The world is his for the taking. Why shouldn't he?
History:
Born to a poor fisherman in Maine, Xanatos' life changed forever when he received a rare coin from a mysterious stranger. He sold the coin for $20,000, using the money to found what would become Xanatos Enterprises, a company located in New York City that eventually became a premier one in pushing the boundaries of technology. A main business rival of his was Cyberbiotics, led by Halcyon Renard, an older man who came to despise the younger when he convinced two of Renard's employees, Owen Burnett and Dr. Anton Sevarius, to come work for Xanatos. He also met Renard's daughter, Fox, at this time and became attracted to her. Owen soon revealed himself to be a fey creature named Puck, offering Xanatos either one wish or a lifetime of dutiful service from Owen. Xanatos chose the latter.
Eventually, Xanatos got his hands on an ancient book of magic known as the Grimorum Arcanorum and learned of a race of beings called "gargoyles": powerful creatures who came alive at night and turned to stone during the day. Intrigued especially by the story of one group of gargoyles at Castle Wyvern in Scotland, and with the help of a mysteriously surviving member of that clan, Demona, he tracked down the castle and arranged to have it transported to the top of the Eyrie Building, the main hub of Xanatos Enterprises. The Grimorum stated that a powerful magus had mistakenly placed a spell on them that would only be broken when the castle rose above the clouds. He decided to test that theory. After much time and expense, it worked. Xanatos posed as a friend, even introducing Demona to the clan of gargoyles, and tricked them into stealing technology from Cyberbiotics that he claimed was his. However, this shaky alliance was not to last; Goliath, the leader of the clan, discovered Xanatos' treachery with the help of a human, Detective Elisa Maza, and so Xanatos put a series of robots, the Steel Clan, that he had developed into battle with the clan.
The gargoyles emerged victorious, and Xanatos was arrested and sent to prison for possessing stolen property. Thus began a series of conflicts, major and minor, between Xanatos and the "Manhattan Clan", punctuated by brief moments of circumstances-based teamwork, such as when Fox came under the influence of the Eye of Odin (a wedding present from Xanatos) and transformed into a werefox creature, or when Demona, in what Xanatos thought was a scheme to secure immortality (a frequent goal of his), caused New York City's humans to turn to stone. The clan also assisted Xanatos in defending and securing his son Alexander, who turned out to be half-fey due to Fox's heritage as the daughter of Queen Titania. Xanatos repaid the favor by offering the clan safe haven at the castle once more. The feud was over for the moment.
Ambitions: His primary goal these days is to secure immortality for himself and his family; failing that, he will accumulate as much power and influence as he can otherwise. He is also currently a member of the Illuminati and hopes to gain much from that association.
Strengths & abilities: Xanatos is an immensely skilled martial artist, as well as a brilliant technical mind with programming. He can improvise on the fly, and his charisma is off the charts in getting people to go along with plans. His money can often buy him the best of both (although in these circumstances he won't have much of that). He can also perform mortal spells in Latin if they are available. He is also skilled in the use of firearms, and he can pick up most weapons and learn how to use them quickly if not expertly. His main weapon of choice during his battles with the clan and others was a mechanical exosuit of his own design made to resemble a gargoyle with enhanced strength, flight, and laser cannons.
Flaws: If anything, he's a little *too* quick to concede defeat at times. His proclivity towards long-term planning can leave him in the lurch if a more decisive, short-term solution is necessary. And his charms can fail if his enemies are aware of his duplicitous nature.
Likes: Fox, Alexander, Owen/Puck, the clan (these days at least)
Dislikes: Demona, Thailog, the Quarrymen, the Pack (sans Dingo)
Fears: Aging, death, harm coming to his loved ones.
