Name: Maxine “Max” James Species: Turned Vampire Age: Appears 21 Appearance: [url=http://postimg.org/image/4py6vqnfr/][img]http://s23.postimg.org/4py6vqnfr/936full_zoe_saldana.jpg[/img][/url] Personality: Max is a very serious but laid back person. She has a strong drive when in pursuit of knowledge but it takes a lot to upset her. She doesn’t have very many close friends (mostly her sister, Hazel). She will take a leadership role if she feels others are inadequate but would prefer to work independently. She is a very quick learner and has an aptitude for math and science. She is quick witted and can become sharp-tongued and sarcastic if she feels she’s losing the upper hand in a conversation. She is generally accepting of any kind of quirks she sees in others as long as they don’t trample on her. Equipment: cell phone, headphones Background: Max was born the second daughter of two very loving and involved parents. Although they weren’t wealthy, she never felt as though she wanted for anything. Her older sister, Hazel, is her idol and best friend. Her father is a piano teacher ( whom her love of music originated from) and her mother is a personal assistant for a wealthy business mogul. She attended the local public school before she was accepted on a full ride science scholarship for a state college. The move across the state was hard on her but she keeps in contact with her family on a daily basis. Her sophomore year of college, Max was attacked walking home alone from a sorority party. She woke up in a dark bedroom with a man who stayed in the shadows. Over the next week, he revealed to her that she was experiencing a change - a change into a vampire. She never managed to see the man and still wonders to this day who he was and what really happened to her. She hasn’t told anyone (including her family) what happened to her but being alone in a city of thousands helps her to keep her secret. Extra: She’s a chain smoker and has only been turned about a year. She’s constantly wondering about the man who helped her through her change and debates whether she should tell anyone. She works at a local bar (where she picks off drunk, sleezy men for food) and has an obsession with all types of music.
