Javi has a mask of cynicism and wit that he uses to shock and awe. He loves to tell you that he's a bad guy. Historically, he said he was wicked, in modern times, he says he's an asshole, but he really cares about the few friends he has and is capable of stepping back and playing mediator if he needs to. The better his English gets the snarkier he will become but it's always been good, I don't know if he even has an accent anymore.

Crime and chaos
Protecting Annie

He hates himself so much, thinks he is bad. I don't know if it's that he feels he's unworthy of friendship, or that he doesn't trust anyone, it might be a bit of both.

Brujah, might get better after he hangs with Davey but I also think he thinks Davey is a freak
White people a little too but like fair. And Americans in general, at least at first.

Good fighter, light on his feed, good at being unnoticed despite his height.

fucking with people
picking pockets

due to his clan bane, he cannot rest in the same place for more than 7 days.

In the modern, grungy on purpose, unlike Davey Douglas
Historically, kept it pretty simple. Hat, bandanna. The works for cowboy time. Probably not super well maintained.
hot but doesn't want anyone to notice

August 15th, 1820

1820- Javi was born in Mexico City to a shitty dad and a sad mom. Not super rich, his dad was like a laborer idk. He was always an edgelord. Always wanted to shock people and make them uncomfortable. Thought it was funny. Got into a more crimial underbelly as a teenager and kept getting caught, till his dad kicked him out and he lived on the streets picking pockets and getting wasted.
1839-One night, he randomly chose a mysterious stranger with a thick accent and even thicker mustache. The stranger caught on and caused Javi to have bizarre visions, but after that, invited him to dinner, it was all a wonderful joke until the stranger embraced him and explained what he was now. Javi has been on the move ever since. Travels through Mexico, into the American Southwest, causing chaos and picking pockets.
In 1883, he comes across Anna May Moss, being accosted and hunted by Floyd in New Mexico. He causes Floyd to have some sort of vision and helps Annie escape, only learning after that she is Salubri. He realizes pretty quickly that she is
Inexperienced
Young
Naive
Very friendly
will get herself killed if he leaves her alone
Javi decides to stay with her, for those reasons but also because she has a caravan that rarely stays in the same spot twice, which is perfect for him because of that thing where he will burst into flames if he stays in the same place for longer than a week. She is wary of him, not convinced he's not going to turn around and eat her but he never does and eventually they become good friends. Traveling together, healing people and doing crimes on the same people.
1890- Annie and Javi encounter Eben Blake, a young pastor who is traveling around searching for proof of God, and Annie is quite taken with him, and Javi's like lol why? She helps him with a bug related injury and heals him, without taking blood and they travel with him for a while. Eventually he learns they're not human anymore and flips out, Annie tells Javi about it and he's like girl I told u this would happen, and they have a huge fight and he leaves, fed up.
Idk what he does after this, I will have to do some research? Maybe he runs into the cowboy times gang, maybe he goes back to Mexico, maybe he does a secret third thing I haven't thought of yet. But the next time Annie sees him, he's near death from starvation and exhaustion and she sets him up with a room in her apartment and they reconcile and he lives with at least 6 nights a week for the next forever. As for what he's doing, idk. Maybe scamming tourists? Maybe he's a shitty twitch streamer? maybe he hangs out with Haus Feratu? He and Annie have another falling out when she encounters Eben reincarnated as Peter, idk if they will come back from that. He goes to Compulsion and tried to pick Davey's pocket, but Davey just thought it was funny and gave him 20 bucks.
