Xanthys- Custom Voiced Skeletal Pyromancer 1.08

Xanthys is the kind of follower I felt Skyrim needs, the kind of follower you really feel is not just your "follower" but a very close ally, one you can depend on when the tide of combat takes a turn for the worst. The kind of follower that doesn't take himself or other self proclaimed "serious" people seriously. When you Have a Mage follower, you have someone that has magical powers but they just use it on themselves and just shoot firebolts an they never expand what their capable of as you the player grow an get stronger. Xanthys was an is an all powerful Pyromancer, hes unfortunately been alive longer than he would like to, being alive that long has made him sick mentally...Also...You can romance him

Human Disguise
If Xanthys being a skeleton all the time kinda ruins the immersion of your reputation of the undead, dont worry! You can ask him to disguise himself in high populated areas so no one would think your a Necromancer or a Necrophiliac!

Artificial Intelligence
Xanthys's AI is built from the ground up, using absolutely NO SCRIPTS I took the Skyrim system an sculpted a fast and very responsive, situation aware NPC that will read the situation of a battle. If you have half your health he will stop picking his fights an go to you and help fight off anybody attacking you and try an prevent you from dying. If less than half your health is gone he will then cast fire cloak on you as well to try an keep you alive an killing any attackers. When hes following if you go into a store he'll automatically sand box around and look at the items for sale at the shop. If your at the forge he'll choose to either relax an watch, or partake in sharpening his weapons. when you stop moving he'll wander around a bit looking around and looking at you. if you sit down at a chair in an inn he fill find the closet chair near you to sit at so you both can relax an chit chat which can possibly open up more dialogue options.

Relationship System
The more things you kill with Xanthys, and the more time you spend with him outside of his tomb, he will slowly regain his memories an powers as well as his very own unique and custom spells and abilities that will add to your experience of venturing through Skyrim

Combat Style AI
Xanthys in his skeletal form is a Spellsword class essentially he has high health regeneration and can dish out more melee damage at this cost of low fire rate of magic. In his Mortal form he is a bit weaker but can dual wield spell and dish out magic spells more efficiently and quickly while finding cover.

Spells
-Chaos Blast: a spell that allow him to make enemies explode into a pile of bones and has a chance to spawn a hellfire spawn
-Skull Bolt: his version of a fire bolt, only with a troll skull on fire
-Magma Spike: His version of an Ice Spike
-Fire Wind: Xanthys Version of Blizzard Storm
-Fireball Breath Shout
-Spine Spike

Sneaking AI
Xanthys is a mage not a thief, he may not be much at tiptoeing but he can turn himself invisible when you your crouching and stay constantly close by until your location has been compromised.

Xanthys is Mountable
When you've spent enough time with Xanthys, he will be able to recall a spell that allows him to manipulate his bone structure to that of a horse...and other creatures....

Selling your Loot so you can go an turn in quests etc:
Xanthys is your ally, your follower, and your friend. You can ask him to sell your stuff for you so you can turn in your quests, talk to NPC's, or create weapons an armor at the forge and he'll travel to what ever general store of the hold your in and come find you when hes done.

Enchanting
One of Xanthys's hobbies besides drinking and lighting people on fire while manically laughing is enchanting weapons. Hes a powerful mage as I said, what kind of mage would he be if he wasn't able to enchant weapons

Dynamic Leveling for Xanthys
The more time Xanthys spends time with you and fights the more spells he'll create on his own to better help you whether a new way to incinerate enemies to being able to cast his own version of Candle light on you or transforming into a ridable creature...to even flying in the air with you...

Storage
Well um... he has a unique way of storing your items, I'll leave that surprise to you...

Teleportation
With Xanthys, if you rather travel to holds of Skyrim an immersive way instead of going through portals or menus, Xanthys can teleport you and your followers to the destination of a Hold of your choosing!

He was last sighted by the barracks near Bleak Falls...I wonder what happened to him?
-LOOT ALL THE CORPSES FOR ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOORS

• This happened once with me with Immersive citizens, it hasn't happened since but if you ever CTD when Xanthys casts his Candle Light spell on you then go to Immersive Citizens MCM and toggle the control of Candle Light spells
  

• Perkus Maximus, there were some issue with it an the Dungeon when you run the Patcher if that's the case and if you ever CTD in the dungeon with the Patchus Maximus esp then repatch your game without Xanthys until you killed everything and found Xanthys leave the dungeon, save, and then repatch with the Xanthys.esp
