A Bloody Tradition
May. 4th, 2020 01:25 pmHis parentage isn’t quite as resilient as a Sparda, but most of it is due to the fact that he’s still a teenager and hasn’t grown into his full power yet. Also because Sparda was a freakin’ tank.
EDIT: because whoops, I forgot to address this. Xander also has an...interesting relationship with the fact that one of his parents was a devil and the other was a human (like Dante in DMC3). He enjoys the powers it gives him, but hasn't ever quite shaken the idea that he needs to redeem himself because without action he'd be a monster (kinda mirroring Angel's thought process there). He'd be the first to say that blood doesn't make one a monster (Spike or his other Devil Arms, for instance), but has issues connecting that to himself (partly due to the trauma). All this is the long way to say that, just like canon, Xander has a bit of an issue with hating himself. He shouldn't be using terms like 'half-breed' to describe himself (see his outburst at Giles in When a Plan Comes Together), and even kind of knows that, but still internalized some problematic ideas. He'll work his way through it with help.
