Hmmmm, weird things you think of at 4am! I'm not sure I know the fandom well enough to comment in detail. My thoughts, although your circumstances might change your attitudes and reaction to any given situation, but your charachter is less influenced. So his compassion, determination etc would still be present. I think we all grow up to make our own conclusions based on what we experience at school, through friends and those are ours independant of our parents or peer pressure.
All that waffled, I'm not sure there are flisters far better able than I am to form an opinion!

I think the problem is that his experiences from day 1 would be different if he didn't grow up in Sunnydale. So, he really would he have the same personality?

*snuggles* And yup, the things I think of at 4am lol.

I think saying that Xander's parents were drunk because of the hellmouth is stretching it a bit.

My view is always that Xander would have gotten out of dodge as quick as he could after graduation. Willow obviously would go to college someplace else that that wouldn't hold him. I'm not sure about he Jesse angle though. Maybe he'd actually get together with Cordelia and join the preppy group or something? We didn't see enough of his character to really know. I'm fond of military!Xander, and that's kind of where I see him going in this situation.

I'm not saying that it was the only reason, however, what we know about the negative energies of the hellmouth increased the likelihood of it. It's all about factors. I guess. Of course, he could just as easily grown up in LA with drunk parents, run away from home at 14 and joined a gang/become a street kid/etc ( ... )
