Her height is something that quite often annoys her due to her wanting to come across as more intimidating. However she does use it to her advantage in terms of looking more harmless than she actually is. Max is well built with an obviously trained body. She gained fitness when she went through the Academy Program, and this was just added to by the two years of training with RAVEN. She is visible strong with lean muscle that she uses to her advantage in combat. She keeps up this fitness. While her muscles are well defined she hasn't quite gotten to the point of having, say, a six pack. Aside from her physical fitness her figure is somewhat... straight. She has a general, and annoying, lack of curves. She definitely doesn't look like a boy but she's hardly feminine. Even though her generally not curvy body annoys her she manages to pull it off. She's certainly attractive, in a way. Max's hair, slightly red at the tips from the last time it was dyed, is kept short and in an undercut style. The left hand side is practically shaved with the rest swept over to the right side. This often covers her eyes and falls to her chin. At the back her hair goes just to the bottom of the nape of her neck. Her eyes are slightly turned up and narrow and set in an oval shape face. This has soft lines, contrasted by the often harsh expression she wears. Her skin tone is an olive tanned due to her Latin American heritage. She has thick, dark eyebrows and medium sized lips. Her facial features, overall, are a lot more feminine than her body is. However she is rarely found wearing makeup and when she does it tend to be dark. She has quite a few visible scars all over her body. These are from fights when she was in a gang, and from training to join RAVEN.[/INDENT] [b]Attire:[/b] [INDENT]Max wears RAVEN issue armour when required to. When she is not in armour she wears more casual clothes, a mix of red and black with white and other dark colours sometimes thrown in. She often goes for a combination of ripped jeans, tank tops, leather jackets and boots.[/INDENT] [h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Innate & Outward Personality:[/b] [INDENT]Max has a slightly rough personality. While she isn't as bad as she used to be, she isn't really a model citizen. She once indulged in a life of crime, drugs and gangs. While she's moved on from there she's never been the most morally perfect person. But still, she's good enough to have joined RAVEN. One thing Max has never managed to get over is her anger issues. As a young child she would often just explode, as she put it, into a rage and attack anyone she was angry at. While it's not as bad at this she still often cannot think clearly when angry and is likely to say things she will regret. And it does, unfortunately, still sometimes come down to physical violence. This isn't helped by the fact that Max can be a violent person, a thing she has managed to curb back on more when she shouldn't actually be fighting someone. She's trying to work on her anger issues, she really is, but is struggling to get anywhere. Max is also a somewhat sarcastic and sharp individual. She can be cold and callous without meaning to. She isn't always aware of how what she says can hurt others feelings. However she doesn't particularly mean to be nasty. While she doesn't put up with people shit and isn't always sympathetic she isn't really not friendly. She gets on well enough with other people. She actually gets on quite well with people. Aside from being a generally snarky bitch Max enjoys spending time with the right kind of people. She's quite good at teamwork, shown when she was in a gang and now in RAVEN. On top of this she is quite fun loving and often enjoys teasing people she is close with. She knows when something is a joke, and can take one, but can also be serious when known. She is quite flirtatious, sometimes jokingly, and isn't fussy about the gender of the person she is flirting with. While Max isn't the easiest for others to deal with and get on with at first, she's a pretty stable friend when she gets close to others. She'll stick by those she views as friends (and family) and has absolute faith in them. She isn't judgmental. The main thing she can't really offer is emotional advice, or a listening ear, as she has a lack of patience for other people's troubles. However she can try and sometimes succeeds in helping at least slightly. A success story there is Rori, who she is actually helping out. Max does try to be helpful to others - she just isn't always very good at it.[/INDENT] [b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b] [INDENT][i]Gardening[/i]: Max doesn't like admitting it, but she really enjoys gardening. She will often keep a few plants wherever she is living. She tends to hide it because she thinks it makes her look less tough. [i]Technology[/i]: A hobby Max picked up while in the Academy program. She's not great at it, but she enjoys tinkering with things and trying out things like programming on computers. She's pretty bad but it's just a hobby at the moment.[/INDENT] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [INDENT][i]Close Combat[/i]: Max is good at hand to hand combat. This began as street fighting but she has now also been trained by RAVEN in military grade hand to hand combat. However she hasn't forgotten what she learned while a gang member, and isn't afraid to bring in dirty tactics. She has also learned various martial arts. [i]Weapons[/i]: Max learnt how to use various firearms during her two years training to join RAVEN. She's good like any trained person would be, but it's hardly a natural talent. She's better with physical combat and up close fighting. [i]Gymnastics[/i]: When she was younger Max did a lot of gymnastics, entering and winning a lot of competitions through it. She's kept this flexibility up along with her fitness and as a result can do some kinds of fancy things. She doesn't do it that often anymore, though. [i]Deception[/i]: Max is good at lying. It was a skill she used to hone but has stop relying on as much - her time in the Academy Program caused that. Still she falls back on lying and deception if needed. [i]Intelligence[/i]: Max is surprisingly intelligent. She doesn't particularly seem it, because she's done a lot of stupid things in the past and often can't see past emotions, but she's smart. [/INDENT] [b]Goals/Motivation[/b] [INDENT][i]Family:[/i] Max is trying to help Rori achieve their own goals, and is incredibly protective of them. A goal is to help Rori stand on their own two feet and get back into school. [i]RAVEN[/i]: A main goal for Max is to do well in her work in RAVEN, hopefully moving up through ranks and gaining respect. However she's not sure how to go about this considering she's not always the best at following rules and doing the right thing. [/INDENT] [b]History/Bio:[/b] [INDENT] Max's parent's relationship was built off of something akin to a love story. Her father was a metahuman part of a small gang and her mother a devout Christian. She put her love for him over her religious views, and he gave up the gang life to raise a family. As a result both were somewhat ostracised from their sides of the family. Even so Max grew up in a loving household. She was surprisingly close to her four year older brother, Sal, and the two of them spent most of their time play fighting (in a friendly way). Along with this Max spent a lot of time with her cousin, Rori (Roisin at the time), though she could tell that things were tense between her mother and her aunt. Max always knew of the existence of metahumans due to her father and brother being registered as them. Her brother was one of the few born a metahuman with inherited powers, with the super-system power of regeneration. Max was always slightly jealous because she felt that she was normal without a power. At the age of ten Max was forced to up and move, leaving behind her cousin that she had grown close to. She has never been sure of the exact reason but thinks it was something to do with the fact her brother and father were metahumans. They moved to Black Fall and lived here relatively happily until Max was twelve, and her brother sixteen. The family got in a tragic car accident that resulted in the death of both Max's father and mother. Salvador survived due to his regeneration and Max seemed to survive for the same reason. It was assumed that their father suffered injuries he couldn't recover from. The two of them were sent to live with their uncle on their father's side, who left them mostly to their own devices having never wanted kids. Max and Sal both fell into a bad crowd at this stage, though Max was mostly tagging along with her older 'cool' brother at this point. After beginning a life of crime they joined a minor metahuman gang. It was here that Max discovered the truth about her powers. She didn't have regeneration, rather she weakened another's power and temporarily gained it. This was why her father had died. The power she had made her a valuable member of the gang. It was here that she learned to fight and steal. By the age of fourteen she was regularly involved in street fights, doing drugs and participating in all sorts of gang activities. She miraculously managed to stay out of RAVEN/DOVE's radar, being completely unregistered. However her, and a few others around her age, were caught doing minor crimes and noted down by the police force due to this. The gang Max was in only continued to make more trouble, going to the stage of killing normal people. This reached the worse point where a gang war broke out between them and another meta-human gang. While neither gang was massive it caused disruption in quite a few neighbourhoods. RAVEN agents came in to crack this down, arresting most members of both gangs. With this Max was given two choices - go back to living with her uncle, monitored, and risk going to jail with another wrong move or take part in the Academy Program. Somewhat reluctant she chose the second. Her brother, Sal, was taken into custody for a while before being allowed to live freely but monitored when deemed 'not too dangerous.' Max managed to keep in contact with him even when shipped off to Academy 61. Surprisingly for Max she enjoyed her time in the Academy. She made a few friends, learned how to better control the powers she had replicated and did some physical training. She changed in ways. While there were still appeals to crime she decided to turn her back on that world and try to do better. This was why when she graduated at the age of 18 she joined RAVEN. Just before her two years of training began, while on a visit to see Sal Max bumped into her younger cousin Rori. Her cousin didn't have a place to stay so Max offered them one and bought a home in Baybridge. Max completed her two years of training and became a new agent in RAVEN, posted to Baybridge. Unfortunately for Max, who was hoping to avoid paperwork where possible, a bunch of shit went down just after she arrived in baybridge. As a RAVEN agent she was on the front lines when dealing with it... And then had to deal with the paperwork after. She met a few more agents, though. It's kept her busy and resulting in her not being there for her cousin when she feels like she could do. When things seemed to be dying down Max was, essentially, told that she was going on some kind of foreign exchange program to Europe. She was quickly shipped off - starting in the UK and going to France (which was difficult) before now being in Spain. She's been trying to investigate the founding family while there. Sadly, she's found little - and she's still in Europe.

And energetic... it's pretty annoying sometimes."[/i] | [indent]Max was close to Rori when they were both young. She is now basically supporting Rori and is quite happy to do so until Rori finds a way to support themselves. However Max can find Rori annoying to be around when she just wants some peace and quiet. Max is also slightly suspicious about just how happy Rori always is, but doesn't question it too much. [/indent] [h3]| [b]Cindy Keagan[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Mixed [/b] | [b]Annoying DOVE[/b] | [i]"I tried to get on with her, but it didn't work out to well."[/i] | [indent]When starting out in DOVE/RAVEN Max tried to get on with her co- workers, she really did. Unfortunately this didn't work out too well. Cindy is one of the people that she has come to odds with far too often, making their professional relationship rocky. It doesn't help that Cindy is often the one to criticise her when Max does something stupid (Max knows control of her anger, she doesn't need someone to tell her that!). try act how she should around Cindy, at least.[/indent] [h3]| [b]Alice Barrett[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Mostly Good[/b] | [b]Fellow RAVEN[/b] | [i]"Alice seems nice enough."[/i] | [indent]Max hasn't talked to Alice that much since the other RAVEN just joined at Baybridge. Max knows that Alex gets along with Cindy but tries not to let that cloud her view of her fellow Agent - after all if that was the case then she wouldn't get on with anyone within the department. From the small amount they've talked Max has gotten on with Alice - for now. She's just waiting to fuck something up between them.[/indent] [h3]| [b]Shizuka Takashiro[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Currently Good[/b] | [b]Fellow RAVEN[/b] | [i]"He hates paperwork as much as I do. It's a thing we can talk about."[/i] | [indent]Max has only known Shizuka for a few days, and has yet to have any problems with him. They both dislike paperwork and have bonded slightly over the woe that it is. She finds him interesting enough to talk to. She's trying her hardest to get on with him, as she is most other RAVEN agents - even if it's taking effort on her part.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Power (Replication) [/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [INDENT] Max has the ability to replicate the powers of others. This replication is not specific to one class, however there are some she struggles to replicate more than others. She seems to find the super-system class the easiest to replicate. She can replicate up to four powers it seems, however they each must be of a different class. So for example she could not replicate two different super-system powers. In terms of choosing whether she can replicate a power, this varies. She has gotten to the stage of control where she can pick and choose whether she replicates a power if it is of the super-system class. However not for the other classes. Any new powers she gets will replace the one in the 'slot' of its class of power, essentially replacing that one. If she does not use a power for a long time she will lose it, in a way. This means she has to use each in a reasonably regular basis. On top of this she can only use one power at a time. Which power she can use seems to be reset dependant on her sleep - she needs to sleep a certain amount of time to change what power she is using. However there are some limits to this - she must have used the power that she is currently locked into to then change it. This means if she does not know how to use a power she will be stuck with it until she can work out how to do so. [/INDENT] Current Powers Replicated: [list][*][i]Regeneration: [/i](Super-system Class) From her father Max has the ability to regenerate. This allows her to heal wounds that she sustains at a reasonable rate, and she can repair bones and muscle damage at a faster rate than most others. This allows her to survive things that other's wouldn't necessarily be able to. [*][i]Telekinesis:[/i] (Cerebral Class) Replicated from a member of the gang she was part of before being nabbed by NEST, this is the one that Max tends to stick in since she's reasonably comfortable with it. However it isn't that powerful. She can move one object of a medium wait (say, a chair) and two that are light (for example knives). This takes a decent amount of concentration it is obvious she is the one moving them. She can only pull and push the objects rather than changing their form, such as bending them. However she is working on getting better at this and will probably learn more the more she uses it. [/list] [b]Limits:[/b] [INDENT] She has to have skin to skin contact to replicate someone's power. The longer she holds this contact the more powerful a version of the power she replicates. She doesn't necessarily know what power someone has or how to use it meaning she can end up with a power completely useless to her. She doesn't have a very long time to learn how to use it either. She can only have up to four powers, each of a different class. These are replaced by class so she only ever has a power of one class. She cannot always choose whether she replicates someone's powers or not. Along with this she can only use one at the time, and this changes after she has slept for eight hours AND used the current power she is locked into. However if she replicates a new power she switches to using the one rather the previous one. She is also limited by the power. Regeneration wise there are only so many wounds that she can heal, and often she can only fully regenerate the smaller ones. For telekinesis she is limited to ten feet away from her, and objects of a medium weight. She needs to concentrate to do more than one small object and breaks in her concentration cause her to lose control. [/INDENT] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [INDENT] The fact that she has to have skin to skin contact can be a weakness. This leaves her vulnerable as she weakens her targets power and means she has to get close to them in the first place which is not always a viable option. This can leave her in all sorts bad situations. She can only change power after using the one she currently has. This means if she does not know how to use a power she is stuck with it until she can figure it out. Using powers of others is quite taxing on her body. While the powers themselves need no fuel they use up a lot of the essential nutrients she has within her body. Using the powers will cause Max to begin to both dehydrate and starve, meaning she must eat and drink a lot more than normal while using them. If she does not eat or drink she will grow weaker, her reactions slower. This will eventually push her to death by starvation/dehydration if she keeps using her power. Along with this Max gains the weakness of whatever power she steals. Regeneration Weaknesses: Incredibly painful to do, does not regain any lost blood ect. She cannot regenerate massive wounds meaning that any life threatening wounds would kill her. While the wound is healed her body still suffered the damage, leaving her weaker after regenerating. Telekinesis weaknesses: Must concentrate to be able to keep using the power. If she cannot see the object she is moving she cannot move it thus it is easy to break the line of site. Tiring mentally on her and doing it for too long will cause blinding headaches and migraines, and often put her in a bad mood and make her tired.

Her cousin didn't have a place to stay so Max offered them one and bought a home in Baybridge. Max has now completed her two years of training and is a new agent in RAVEN, posted to Baybridge.

And energetic... it's pretty annoying sometimes."[/i] | [indent]Max was close to Rori when they were both young. She is now basically supporting Rori and is quite happy to do so until Rori finds a way to support themselves. However Max can find Rori annoying to be around when she just wants some peace and quiet. Max is also slightly suspicious about just how happy Rori always is, but doesn't question it too much.

Unfortunately this didn't work out too well. Cindy is one of the people that she has come to odds with far too often, making their professional relationship rocky. It doesn't help that Cindy is often the one to criticise her when Max does something stupid (Max knows she lost control of her anger, she doesn't need someone to tell her that!). She does try act how she should around Cindy, at least.[/indent] [h3]| [b]Alice Barrett[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Mostly Good[/b] | [b]Fellow RAVEN[/b] | [i]"Alice seems nice enough."[/i] | [indent]Max hasn't talked to Alice that much since the other RAVEN only just joined at Baybridge. Max knows that Alex gets along with Cindy but tries not to let that cloud her view of her fellow Agent - after all if that was the case then she wouldn't get on with anyone within the department. From the small amount they've talked Max has gotten on with Alice - for now. She's just waiting to fuck something up between them.[/indent] [h3]| [b]Shizuka Takashiro[/b] |[/h3] | [b]Currently Good[/b] | [b]Fellow RAVEN[/b] | [i]"He hates paperwork as much as I do. It's a thing we can talk about."[/i] | [indent]Max has only known Shizuka for a few days, and has yet to have any problems with him. They both dislike paperwork and have bonded slightly over the woe that it is. She finds him interesting enough to talk to. She's trying her hardest to get on with him, as she is most other RAVEN agents - even if it's taking effort on her part.[/indent] [/indent] [h3][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Power Class:[/b] [INDENT]Power (Replication) [/INDENT] [b]Power:[/b] [INDENT] Max has the ability to replicate the powers of others. This replication is not specific to one class, however there are some she struggles to replicate more than others. She seems to find the super-system class the easiest to replicate. She can replicate up to four powers it seems, however they each must be of a different class. So for example she could not replicate two different super-system powers. In terms of choosing whether she can replicate a power, this varies. She has gotten to the stage of control where she can pick and choose whether she replicates a power if it is of the super-system class. However not for the other classes. Any new powers she gets will replace the one in the 'slot' of its class of power, essentially replacing that one. If she does not use a power for a long time she will lose it, in a way. This means she has to use each in a reasonably regular basis. On top of this she can only use one power at a time. Which power she can use seems to be reset dependant on her sleep - she needs to sleep a certain amount of time to change what power she is using. However there are some limits to this - she must have used the power that she is currently locked into to then change it. This means if she does not know how to use a power she will be stuck with it until she can work out how to do so. [/INDENT] Current Powers Replicated: [list][*][i]Regeneration: [/i](Super-system Class) From her father Max has the ability to regenerate. This allows her to heal wounds that she sustains at a reasonable rate, and she can repair bones and muscle damage at a faster rate than most others. This allows her to survive things that other's wouldn't necessarily be able to. [*][i]Telekinesis:[/i] (Cerebral Class) Replicated from a member of the gang she was part of before being nabbed by NEST, this is the one that Max tends to stick in since she's reasonably comfortable with it. However it isn't that powerful. She can move one object of a medium wait (say, a chair) and two that are light (for example knives). This takes a decent amount of concentration it is obvious she is the one moving them. She can only pull and push the objects rather than changing their form, such as bending them. However she is working on getting better at this and will probably learn more the more she uses it. [/list] [b]Limits:[/b] [INDENT] She has to have skin to skin contact to replicate someone's power. The longer she holds this contact the more powerful a version of the power she replicates. She doesn't necessarily know what power someone has or how to use it meaning she can end up with a power completely useless to her. She doesn't have a very long time to learn how to use it either. She can only have up to four powers, each of a different class. These are replaced by class so she only ever has a power of one class. She cannot always choose whether she replicates someone's powers or not. Along with this she can only use one at the time, and this changes after she has slept for eight hours AND used the current power she is locked into. However if she replicates a new power she switches to using the one rather the previous one. She is also limited by the power. Regeneration wise there are only so many wounds that she can heal, and often she can only fully regenerate the smaller ones. For telekinesis she is limited to ten feet away from her, and objects of a medium weight. She needs to concentrate to do more than one small object and breaks in her concentration cause her to lose control. [/INDENT] [b]Weaknesses/Drawbacks:[/b] [INDENT] The fact that she has to have skin to skin contact can be a weakness. This leaves her vulnerable as she weakens her targets power and means she has to get close to them in the first place which is not always a viable option. This can leave her in all sorts bad situations. She can only change power after using the one she currently has. This means if she does not know how to use a power she is stuck with it until she can figure it out. Using powers of others is quite taxing on her body. While the powers themselves need no fuel they use up a lot of the essential nutrients she has within her body. Using the powers will cause Max to begin to both dehydrate and starve, meaning she must eat and drink a lot more than normal while using them. If she does not eat or drink she will grow weaker, her reactions slower. This will eventually push her to death by starvation/dehydration if she keeps using her power. Along with this Max gains the weakness of whatever power she steals. Regeneration Weaknesses: Incredibly painful to do, does not regain any lost blood ect. She cannot regenerate massive wounds meaning that any life threatening wounds would kill her. While the wound is healed her body still suffered the damage, leaving her weaker after regenerating. Telekinesis weaknesses: Must concentrate to be able to keep using the power. If she cannot see the object she is moving she cannot move it thus it is easy to break the line of site. Tiring mentally on her and doing it for too long will cause blinding headaches and migraines, and often put her in a bad mood and make her tired.
