XAVIER is a Checkpoint Merge of three excellent Checkpoints:
Having used both Hyphoria and HomoSimile extensively, I sought to produce something with a different base style that maintained the general excellency of those two models. I settled on Mol_Keun Mix to help me achieve it, and I believe I've accomplished my goal.
The resulting checkpoint that is XAVIER is capable and versatile, allowing for a wide array of use cases in both SFW and NSFW contexts.
This checkpoint should be considered experimental, because it is. As such, feedback is highly welcome and appreciated. Lastly if you do generate with this checkpoint, all I ask in return is that you consider posting what you make with it (remember to add it to your list of resources if uploading to the site).

Recommended Settings (coloring outside the lines encouraged):
CFG: 3.0
Steps: 30
Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE, GPU Seeded
Scheduler: Karras
Clip Skip: 2
Suggested Upscaler:
Strength: 1.5
Suggested Tweaks (for local gens):
Perturbed-Attention Guidance Scale (PAG): 2.5
Set alongside CFG: 3.0
This will add just a hair of processing time per image; but it seems to further improve prompt adherence (especially when using more obscure tags), and naturally refines the base style a bit.
May negatively influence loras.
