Talk:Xerosic

Name meaning

"Xanthin" (French) is an insoluble carotene derivative that provides the yellow color of some flowers. "Xeros" (German) is the Greek word for "dry." "Xante" (Italian) could reference the name Xanthe, which means "gold" or "yellow." "Xero" (Spanish) is the compound form of "xeros."

"Xerosic" (Japanese and English) may reference xerosis cutis, or abnormal drying of the skin and/or mucous membranes. Considering that all of his names reference either dryness or the color yellow (which can be associated with jaundice, another disease of the skin and mucous membranes), who wants to bet that this man has a terrible skin condition?

Of course he has a skin condition, his skin color is pratically light blue. If he does not have a skin condition, then he is either the human equivalent of a shiny Pokèmon, not exactly human, or just a stylization for "really-pale ginger". Trough Trevor is more of a straight-up ginger, his skin is still pale, but still recognizably on the pinkish side. Maybe Xerosic is supposed to be a non-caucasian albino with a dye-job. --Kaiko Mikkusu (talk) 12:12, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

I was being a little sarcastic! That said, the blue undertones in his skin suggest that he isn't an albino. It's odd for official character art to feature such an abnormal skin color, so it's definitely something to watch out for once the games come out. Arpha (talk) 22:34, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Xerosic was the 2nd in command of Team Flare?

Let's think about it for a second. No admin beside from him was told to activate the weapon or to stop activating it. He's also the second most powerful member of Team Flare only Lysandre has higher levels then him if you don't count Emma's levels. Should we really count him as a scientist? How about put a word which means 2nd in command above the Scientists but below Lysandre?--Hydreigonfan1 (talk) 10:36, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
