Xander the Vampire Slayer
I had to post -here- a picspam for a challenge at vamp_land : the goal was to to cast an existing book, comic, movie, tv-show, with actors of your own choice -and of course related to vampires. I like the cast so much, whether it's Buffy's, Angel's or True Blood's, that I went for something a bit different. A complete gender swap...
So, let me present you...
Xander (Nicholas Brendon) is "The Slayer", the Chosen One, latest in a long line of young boys chosen by fate to battle evil forces. This calling mystically endows him with a limited degree of clairvoyance, usually in the form of prophetic dreams, as well as dramatically increased physical strength, endurance, agility, intuition and ease of healing.
Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is one of Xander's closest friends who assist him in saving the world against the supernatural events that plague Sunnydale. Your typical girl next door, she struggles towards maturity and earning the respect of others.
Originally a nerdy boy who shared the social isolation Xander suffered after becoming a Slayer, Jonathan (Danny Strong) becomes later a powerful wizzard. He is Xander's best friend through everything that happens.
Jenny (Robia LaMorte) is a Watcher and a member of the Watchers' Council, whose job is to train Slayers. Throughout the series, she becomes a mother-figure to Xander, giving him advice not only on the supernatural world, but on life issues as well.
Spike (James Marsters) is originally the archetypal popular, shallow, mean-spirited student at Sunnydale High. He is tactless, but direct and honest, and he becomes a reluctant ally of the Scooby Gang, even after his relationship with Buffy disintegrates.
Willow (Alyson Hannigan), a vampire, was an infamously cruel killer until she was re-ensouled by a Gipsy curse. After decades of guilt over her past atrocities, she allies herself with Xander and they fall in love.
Darla (Julie Benz) is a vampire who evolves dramatically through the course of the series, ranging from a sarcastic villain to "love's bitch", to Xander's romantic interest in a relationship that grows from lust to a friendship, and eventually to a self-sacrificing warrior, dying as a Champion at the Hellmouth.
Angel (David Boreanaz) is a beautiful young seer who was driven insane by Willow, his sire and later his lover. His insanity continued after he became a vampire, and he wreaked havoc on Europe and Asia for years. Angel is the long-time paramour and sire of Darla, although he becomes disillusioned with her after their year in Sunnydale. He frequently speaks in riddles (relating what the pixies in his head tell him) and watches the stars through the ceiling.
Rupert (Anthony Stewart Head), Xander's father, is an anchor of normality in the Scoobies' lives, even after he learns of Xanders's role in the supernatural.
