Xelloss is really important. As a member of a demon species that lives mostly on suffering, he's maybe not even really a he. He just is. I think he was the first time I was aware of how much I liked characters that looked like wimpy clueless weirdos but could actually kill you in a glance. He was also really good at drag.
I did a lot of original character stuff that spawned from Xelloss, most of which centered on a character who went through 3 genders to be where they are now. The idea of genderless characters made me absolutely obsessed. It's still a part of me today!
Xelloss is where the last part of 'ladyyatexel' comes from, in the same way Sailor Star Healer is the origin of the 'yate' part.
Xelloss is part of a series of drawings I'm doing featuring characters who left a big mark on me and Gender.

Hi, @nocturnalmonarch ! I'm your Secret Santa! I went for your prompt "Lina gets surprised under the mistletoe". I'm not very good at crack humour but I hope you like it anyway. :3

Xelloss (Slayers). Traditional art.
-
I made the sketch long ago and drew the lineart on professional paper intending to go for watercolors (twice). In the end, I just printed the cleaner sketch on a regular paper and went at it with color pencils like it was a coloring book page. Now I wished I used a more qualitative paper lol

Oooo we doing Character Questions :p
How about:
4, 7 , 20 and 21 for Xellos!
For Xellos! Oh dear! ^_^ 💖 Thank you for asking!
4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?
Elden Ring. I wanna see Xellos as a fucked up Elden Ring boss. I wanna hear that deep narrator voice boom out "Xellos-- The BEAST PRIEST!!" and I want his attack patterns to turn me to spaghetti.
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
That I *like*? Uuuuhhhh...... there's... pretty art? 😁😅
20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
Toss up between Naga and Sylphiel. Why? Now that's a secret ^_^
21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?
Haven't gotten a chance to do it in fic in a long time, but my favorite character quirk of Xellos' to emphasize is his absolute pettiness. My favorite vibe of his is sitting in a restaurant, frustrating the waitress by refusing to order.
Something I don't like when writing him is showing his POV-- showing Xellos' internal monologue and the way he perceives the world absolutely spoils the illusion.

Not sure if I did this meme right (from my understanding, it should've been Snipe and Amelia, or another character). But I couldn't help but use it on these two cuz I find my hypothetical dynamic for them to be hilarious.
Example:
Xelloss: So, outright killing a Talon is not an ethical course for a Sky Knight. But sending them down into the Wastelands where they could land in lava, get eaten, or survive down there with a slim chance to be rescued is? ^_^
