That's all right! I don't mind reading walls of text. That's also very interesting to learn that StE was inspired by Eternal Darkness. You're doing a wonderful job with Anthony despite the very little there is to go off of. I'm also glad you went with the sentient-animal route since seeing the "A TALKING HORSE!" reactions never seems to get old.
Not exactly. Xander was built as a mix of personality from two parts of San's life. A good chunk of how he acts on the network (before getting back certain traits) was pulled from San's arch-angel years and how he reacts around people he knows (more relaxed, a bit more humorous) was pulled from San's fallen arch-angel state. I never really got to play the more serious side of San at the previous game I was apart of (if your character died, they come back and have amnesia. It happened 3 times for him and each time would take a bit longer to get back all their memories) and I did want to explore it a bit more. Although I did play around with an alternate versions of San with a friend and most of the time it had San & Conleth as twins before some tragedy befell Conleth. To be honest, it was rather difficult writing Xander at first because I was too used to writing San and his mindset is really easy to get in to. I still have to catch myself sometimes, but now that Xander is becoming a bit more like San, it's easier.
So, Anthony was actually your first muse and introduction to rp-ing in general then?
