HISTORY: born and raised in the beach town of galveston, texas, maximillian's life started out simple, like any other life of a child living in a luxurious home with two amazing, extremely nurturing parents should be. from birth, he always had guaranteed friends, a ticket to college- to be exact, yale- and would always be set money-wise, or at least until he turned eighteen. he lived a life for a few years that lots dreamed, prayed, and wished for. until he was ten, he didn't know what it felt like to be unloved or not cared for. he didn't know what it felt like to be so hated by one of his parents.

max's parents met when they were in college and they fell in love immediately. his mother was president of her sorority at yale and his father the president of the corresponding fraternity. it was a match made in heaven and a story that you'd only find in some cheesy movie or television show. they dated throughout their third year of college and all the way until they were out of college, at twenty one, when they finally decided that marriage was in their future. they waited a year after they got engaged to hold their ceremony, but afterwards, they wasted no time having maximillian. he was born on the second of may, in the year of nineteen eighty-eight.

he was the perfect son, which was visible as he grew older, and he had the perfect life. his father was a chief executive officer in a leading civil engineering company. his mother had a more simpler job, working as a third grade teacher at an elementary school in galveston. they had a nice, large home, a few dogs, and they made trips to the beach and the boardwalk at least every weekend. as if being the only child wasn't enough, max was spoiled rotten. at the age of five, he took up martial arts. he especially advanced in the sport, becoming the best in his class and moving up faster than the rest of the children in his class. as well, he took up wrestling and football, and as if that wasn't enough, he begged his parents to learn guitar. his parents were extremely proud of him and his acheivements and the fact that he was the perfect was no longer just a dream, but it was a reality. he was a handsome little fella, he was a hardworker, he never gave up, and he always obeyed his parents. he was the perfect child who lived the perfect life.

when he turned ten, however, things in his life started to change. for whatever reason, his father had transformed from the picture-perfect dad, the dad that played ball with his son, that took him fishing, that did everything and more for him, that truly loved his only boy, into a monster. he didn't see his amazing dad anymore, but instead, he saw a cruel, terrible, scary man. he no longer came home from work at the regular time of five-thirty pm, but by the time that max was already in bed at one in the morning. most of the time, he'd be some level of intoxicated and max and his mother would be lucky if he didn't feel like taking his frustrations on either one of them. sometimes, there would be nothing to be angry about at all and he would hit the both of them for the fun of it. when he had his days off or if he came home on time, neither wasted or under the influence of anything, the littlest things would set him off. the smallest object out of place, the tiniest back talk or remark, he'd hit him or his mother, however it was usually his mom that would take the beating. despite the extremity of the abuse, max's mom would always take it in the place of their son. by the time max was fifteen, their home was no longer his serenity, but his hell.

life continued for maximillian and his parents. while it may not have been the life that any of them, especially not max or his mother, had dreamt for their family, they survived- thankfully. he was still the rich kid who had all of the friends, the quarterback of the football team, the karate master, the closet rockstar, and the boy who was living in an abusive household behind all of the walls. he no longer invited friends over to his home or hosted any parties if it meant that people would be coming over to his home, and rarely would there be any family outings. rarely would he even see his family. often times, he'd spend weeks at a time out of his house, only going back to fetch clothing or some other necesity that he could only get at his home. even though it was the cowardly thing to do, to not try and stop his father from assaulting his mother so badly and instead run away, it was the only way that max could do to keep himself safe. in a way, he was also doing it to keep his image- his popular and perfect image.

after high school, max continued on to attend college, where he would follow in his fathers footsteps in more ways than one. he played as a bulldog on yale's first string football team, he became the president of alpha delta phi's yale chapter with time, and he dual majored in pre-law and business management. above all of these acheivements, there was one not so good accomplishment that he was in no way proud of. however, he didn't even know it was there. he had picked up the same tendency his father had somewhere in his picture-perfect wife and started to smack around his own girlfriends. it was his third year in college when this became a notable part of max and even though no one did a thing about it, everyone knew it was there- but max. he didn't realize what he was doing was bad, something not honorable, exactly what he hated when he raised a hand to a woman. in the following years, this aspect of him grew worse and worse, until he turned twenty three and it finally became constant, but no better. he graduated college with no trouble, however, and instead of getting a job, he lived off of the money that he inherited from his father, who passed away due to alcohol poisoning only a couple of weeks following max's twenty-second birthday. for whatever odd reason, all of the money that his father had stored away was stated in his will to be given to his only son, which would be max. on top of that, he had his trust fund- why would there be any reason to get a job? also to this day, the last time max spoke to his mother was his twenty first birthday, almost three years ago.

LIKES: being in charge, acoustic music, submission to him, being appreciated, wrestling, martial arts, football, gatorade, red bull, parties, rock concerts
DISLIKES: being seen as weak, being disregarded, not getting what he wants, being talked down to, not being in charge
FEARS: his dad will miraculously come back from the dead, his mother will always think of him as his father, pelicans
SECRETS: he watched his mother be hit by his dad when he was a child, his father was a hardcore alcoholic
STRENGTHS: arguments, defending himself, scrapping (fighting), charming his way into bed, putting on a charming mask
WEAKNESSES: keeping a girlfriend, being respectful towards women
PERSONALITY: charming appearance someone who may not know of max's reputation of being a woman-beater is definitely bound to find the lad a charming gentleman, someone anyone is lucky to have as a friend or a significant other. in a way, the mask that he puts on unconsciously is who he would probably be, who he once was, if he wasn't such an abusive asshole- friendly, charasmatic, fun to be around, a friend that a friend would like to have. basically, this mask is the complete opposite of who he has become in the past four, almost five, years. as his 'friends' have come to note, this mask is only present with people who he hasn't befriended already or with women that he could possibly smack around. he's a completely different person- no longer friendly, charming, fun to be around- when he's not putting on an act.

cold-hearted also in the past five years, he has changed from being a thoughtful, warm-hearted, compassionate person to a cruel, cold-hearted, harsh snake. it was another unconscious change, but it was a significant one, nonetheless. max doesn't think back to the good old times, when he was actually the friend-a-friend-would-like-to-have back in high school or when he and his father would spend hours on hours playing ball in the back yard or crab fishing at the boardwalk. he pretends like that never existed, in fear that somehow, he'll forgive his father. he pretends like his father never existed, and sometimes, like his mother died like his father did. no longer does he show affection towards anyone anymore. not any of his family, not pets, not friends, and certainly not towards any girlfriend that he may get. he doesn't let himself get attatched and if he feels weakness, attatchment, or compassion finding it's way through his stone heart, he finds a way to build a thicker, bigger wall.

hot headed much like his father, max has the tendency to get angry over the slightest of thing. the smallest back talk or smart-alec remark towards him, the smallest suspicion that someone may be talking about him or making fun of him, he gets angry, and often, he won't take it lightly. also like his father, he won't take jokes towards his appearance or his attitude or anything else about him lightly. he takes everything very seriously and will often sit there and think about something that has annoyed him slightly and will make himself even more angry about it. just as well, he makes rash decisions. he doesn't think before he talks or does. smacking someone around, getting into arguments, breaking something- he doesn't consider the conseuences before he does it. overall, he has a very short fuse and is a quick tempered individual.

obsessive in relationships this one is mainly focused around girlfriends and people he is involved romantically with, but it's no less important. in fact, it's an incredibly important trait to max and shapes him to be the person who he is. he hates seeing girls who he's dating, whether they just be casual or exclusive, conversing with other boys and sometimes even other girls. if he has the suspicion that for some reason those other girls are taking away from his time with said-girl or putting the idea that max isn't boyfriend material in said-girl's head, he'll do his best to cut off all contact with him, most of the time with intimidation. as for the opposite sex, there's no exception and usually the punishment is an old-fashioned beating.

selfish, dishonest, and mean there's no hiding that max is a mean person. after he's befriended someone, there's no telling how he'll treat them. name calling, constant insults, ignored phone calls and texts, and refusing to even acknowledge their existence are all posibilities, and all have their own level of extremity. you're lucky to get the latter, because the first three are all terrible treatments from him and there's no toning it down for anyone. he's incredibily selfish, just as he is dishonest. lying and cheating to get what he wants is something that max isn't against. in fact, at this point, it's basically a second language. being a nice, trustworthy, good friend is a tongue that's completely lost to him. unless it's beneficial towards him, he doesn't care about anyone or anything.

abusive and finally, he's abusive- obviously. he's abusive in any kind of relationship- romantically or friendship-wise. if you're somone that he could shove around and be superior to, he's abusive. of course, he won't just beat the shit out of anyone because usually that's reserved for the girls who he dates and/or sleeps with, but that doesn't mean he isn't against cruel insults and harsh name calling and being so brutally honest to the point of tears to people that he isn't dating and/or sleeping with. there is nothing posititve about this part of maximillian. this max is extremely bossy and uses other's weaknesses as his own strengths. the saddest part? this max is the part that represents max the most.
