Story of my life;;
Family:Alexander Lavelle Harris was born to Anthony and Jessica Harris and grew up in the small Californian town of Sunnydale. Xander's father was a self-pitying drunk while his mother was a fragile mess; both parents were negligent and even abusive towards their son, leaving him with various insecurities.According to his Aunt Carol, the family are Episcopalians. Xander's uncle, Rory, is an alcoholic taxidermist who claims to have invented Velcro. Every Christmas, Xander sleeps outside to avoid his family's drunken arguments. Neither parent is happy with their marriage, but they have stayed together for decades. When he was thirteen, Xander attended Willow's bat mitzvah, where his parents drank to excess. Throughout the series, Xander's family was said to be unreliable, abusive, and the main source of his insecurities.
Xander's lifelong best friend was Willow Rosenberg, who secretly harboured a hopeless crush on him. The pair briefly "dated" when they were five but broke up over a stolen Barbie.
Since he met Buffy his sophmore year his freinds turned into the family that he never really had. Giles became his father figure. Joyce Summers before shes passed away was more of mother to Xander then his real mother. Willow was like a sister to him, even after some weird attraction encounters that were resolved. Buffy became a sister to him even though he still harbors feelings than just friendly ones. Dawn Buffy's little sister became a younger sister or even like a child to Xander. Resulting in a marriage like couple situation with Xander and Buffy, even though they weren't a romantic couple.
In his sophomore year of high school, Xander met Buffy Summers on her first day at Sunnydale High and overheard her bizarre conversation with school librarian Rupert Giles regarding demons and vampires. Xander and Willow discovered that Sunnydale was situated on a Hellmouth and that Buffy was actually the Slayer, granted with supernatural powers and destined to fight the forces of evil. When his other best friend Jesse McNally was kidnapped and turned into a vampire, Xander was forced to reluctantly stake him. After stopping the Harvest together, Buffy, Xander, Willow, and Giles formed the "Scooby Gang", a small group of people who helped Buffy fight the forces of darkness. Xander's exploits with the Scoobies included nearly being decapitated by the She-Mantis, being possessed by a hyena,and having his nightmares about his sixth birthday clown come to life.Developing romantic feelings for Buffy, Xander was jealous of her brief relationship with loner Owen Thurman and her attraction to handsome stranger Angel. His hostility towards Angel grew stronger when he turned out to be a vampire, albeit one with a soul.Xander finally admitted his feeling to Buffy and was bitterly disapointed when she rejected him. However, he later saved her life by performing CPR when she was drowned by the Master, something Angel was unable to do due to his lack of breath.
In his junior year, Xander shared a brief a relationship with a foreign exchange student who turned out to be an Inca mummy. On Halloween, a spell caused the trick-or-treaters of Sunnydale to turn into their costumes, transforming Xander into a soldier. When the spell was lifted, he retained his memories and knowledge of the military. While hiding from a demonic assassin in Buffy's basement, the tension between Xander and Cordelia resulted in a kiss, and the pair began a secret relationship. When Willow discovered their affair, she was devastated and offended that Xander would rather be with Cordelia than her. Eventually, Cordelia's friends found out about the relationship as well, and Cordelia became alienated from the popular crowd, leading her to break up with Xander on Valentines Day. Wanting revenge, Xander coerced Amy Madison to cast a love spell on Cordelia so he could hurt her. The spell backfired, and Xander became irresistible to every female in Sunnydale, except Cordelia, who, realizing that Xander genuinely cared for her, reunited with him in defiance of her former friends. Xander's infiltration of the Sunnydale High Swim Team nearly led to him being transformed into a fish man. When Angel lost his soul and became the evil Angelus, Xander felt his long-standing mistrust of the vampire was validated, especially when he murdered Giles' girlfriend Jenny Calendar. This fuelled Xanders hatred for Angerl to its peak. One point lead to Angelous trying to enter Buffy's hospital room. Xander stood up to Angel and Angel backed down calling Xander "Buffy's White Knight". Xander still was in love with Buffy. Xander encouraged Buffy to kill Angelus, neglecting to tell her that Willow was planning to re-ensoul him.
Xander revives an interest in Willow in their senior year of high school, and they share a kiss which leads to Cordelia suffering near-fatal injury, and the arrival of the vengeance demon Anyanka in Sunnydale. Following their break-up, Cordelia steps up her usual ridicule of Xander, labeling him "The Zeppo" and mocking him for being useless compared to his friends, who are Slayers, witches, werewolves, and vampires. In an attempt to prove her wrong, Xander embarks on an adventure with a group of zombies led by tough guy Jack O'Toole, losing his virginity to Faith Lehane in the process. However, when O'Toole and his friends try to blow up Sunnydale High, Xander single-handedly puts an end to their plan. Later, he is asked to the Prom by Anya, formerly the vengeance demon Anyanka. At his high school graduation, Xander leads Sunnydale High's students against Mayor Wilkins and his vampires.
Xander's inferiority complex and feelings of isolation increase when he chooses not to enroll in college with his friends. After graduating from high school, he sets upon a cross-country trip inspired by Jack Kerouac's On the Road that ends when his car breaks down. Returning to Sunnydale, he moves into his parents' basement, for which he has to pay rent, and takes a series of odd jobs as a food vendor, a bartender, a phone-sex operator, and a deliveryman. Xander's problems multiply when he is forced to accept Spike as a roommate for a short time while the Scoobies are in hiding from the Initiative After much persuasion, he has sex with Anya and they begin dating. Initially, his interest in Anya is purely sexual, but as the season progresses, he develops genuine feelings for her, eventually falling in love. Xander gives Buffy his "heart" in the spell that defeats Adam.
Xander mature significantly, pursuing a more stable career in carpentry and construction work, and moving into his own apartment with Anya. When famous vampire Dracula comes to Sunnydale in search of the Slayer, he hypnotizes Xander into briefly becoming his willing manservant. The pair remained in touch through letters following Dracula's departure. After being hit by the demon Toth's Ferula Gemini, Xander is split into two separate beings; one displaying his strengths and one displaying his weaknesses. He defends Willow and Anya equally from Anya's ex-boyfriend, Olaf the Troll, despite being forced to choose between them. Shortly before going into battle with the hell-goddess Glory, Xander asks Anya to marry him should they survive.
Xander is beginning to have doubts about his future with Anya. Hoping for a happy ending, he summons the demon Sweet to turn Sunnydale into a living musical, which goes horribly wrong when people start bursting into flames as well as song Xander's fears over marrying Anya are made worse by a visit from a demon pretending to be his future self, showing him a bitter future trapped in a marriage similar to his parents. Although the vision is later revealed to be false, Xander admits to having doubts beforehand and leaves a heartbroken Anya at the altar. When Willow turns evil after her girlfriend Tara Maclay is killed, Xander's love for his childhood friend turns her around and saves the world.
Xander struggles over his feelings with Anya and suffers a devastating injury. When Buffy's sister Dawn mistakenly believes herself to be a Potential Slayer, Xander empathizes with her disappointment at not being the one in the spotlight. Despite admitting that they still love each other, he and Anya finally break up for good, but continue to have the odd fling in times of crisis. Xander has his left eye gouged out by the evil preacher Caleb, and begins wearing an eyepatch. In the final battle against the First Evil, Anya is killed by a Bringer's sword, and her body remains in the new Sunnydale High's ruins as the empty town is swallowed by the earth. Andrew Wells, whom she had fought alongside, comforts Xander by saying that Anya had died saving his life.
Following Sunnydale's destruction, Xander took a "leave of absence" from the Scooby Gang to mourn Anya's death.He spent some time in Africa, and eventually reunited with Dracula. Xander resumed his old position as the vampire's loyal manservant, living with him in his Transylvanian castle for several months, during which the pair offered each other company and Xander taught Dracula how to ride a motorcycle.Buffy eventually tracked her friend down and showed up at Dracula's castle with two other Slayers in a bid to rescue him, but the brainwashed Xander remained loyal to his "master" and tried to fight them off. Eventually, Dracula admitted that Xander belonged with his friends, and, after an emotional farewell, released him from his trance. Xander returned to the Scooby Gang, which had expanded into a worldwide organization, and took on a Watcher-like role leading various Slayer squads from the central command base in Scotland. Keeping in touch with his Slayers through computer screens and earpieces, he jokingly compared himself to comic book character Nick Fury.

Sample Role Play;;
It was your typical day for our hero Xander Harris. Well, if you call walking around in a cemetary with your best friend who is a vampire slayer a typical day. Xander looked over at the beautiful blonde who was intent on slaying something. "So Buff.. Don't you think we patrolled enough already? I'm starving and there are going to be reruns of Fresh Prince will be on soon." Xander pleaded. Buffy smiled. " I guess so Xan, I know food and reruns of an old Will Smith show is far more important than slaying vampires." Buffy stated sarcasticly
"I know what to do." Xander thought and smiled deviously . "Buffy, I was going to give you a world famous Xan-Man back massage, but if you don't want it." He said smoothly with a grin. "Well..If you put it that way." Buffy playfully remarks. "Okay only a few more blocks, but you have to promise me that you won't just fall asleep in my bed and that you will give me that massage, my back is killing me." Buffy said relenting. "Scouts honor, Buff." Xander declared with his left raised and his right hand over his heart.
They continued to walk together. "I totally think that Sarah Michelle Gellar is hotter than Kristy Swanson." Xander argued.
"No way Xander, did you ever see her.." as Buffy was tackled by a figure. "Here we go again." Xander thought as he pulled a stake out his coat pocket and ran towards the creature that uncharacteristicly was holding Buffy down. "Hey Kiefer! I think your going to need a dirt devil." as Xander staked the creature in the back and turn to dust. "Buffy are you okay?" Xander said concerned as he bent over and held Buffy in his arms. "Yeah, I don't know I feel really weak. I don't know whats wrong with me, Xander did I ever tell you that I loved you......" Buffy whispered as she went limp in Xanders arms. Xander's faced went white as he saw what happend in his arms. He quickly put his head down on Buffy's chest and his heart jumped twice when he heard her heart beating. "Thank god! I'm not loosing you Buffy, I can't and won't." Xander kissed her on the forehead and quickly picked her up and ran towards his car. "Don't you give up on me!"
