[b][color=aba400]Personal Style:[/color][/b] Max tends to dress in a way that is seen both as stylistic and mystical. Drawing a lot of inspiration from fashion magazines such as Vogue, Calvin Klein, and other such publications. He is typically seen in long, or oversized, coats; that give a sense of mystique towards what's hidden inside, much like a magicians cloak. Max is often seen wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses that have non prescription lenses. These are a stylistic choice more than anything, but they do have transitions on them to allow them to become sunglasses.

[b][color=aba400]Personality:[/color][/b]
 Max, for the most part, is a kind hearted soul. He tends to keep to himself, focusing greatly on his studies and his advancement to bettering himself. If ever there is someone being bullied around him, Max will tend to stop what he is doing and attempt to help the one in need, not necessarily flaunting his skill but rather quickly disposing of the issue so that he can go back to his studies. He tended to be a very plain,studious, child until more recently when his life had changed.

 After the exposure to his powers, he lost his parents and has been more or less on the road. Becoming more adept at small time thievery, such as stealing food from shops, shifting his mentality of life quite a bit. He no longer views the world with rose tinted glasses. Seeing how many turned on him when he attained his powers showed him the reality of life. He is quick to help any mutants or enhanced humans who are in the same place as he is; and will help humans to show that mutants are not all bad.

[b][color=aba400]How did you discover your powers:[/color][/b] We've all heard the stories of mutants, or other beings, attaining their power from a stressful encounter. Bullies, explosions, parental abuse, you name it and it's probably happened. Maximillian was different however. His powers didnt emerge from a place of stress, fear, or abusive force thrust upon him; his powers emerge from a place of tranquility. Often times when searching for an answer to one of life's many curveballs, Max turned to meditation as the answer. He claimed he could 'search the cosmos and they would gift upon him clarity'. Ofcourse this wasnt literal...until it was.

 After practice one day, Max decided to hit the books, reading old books that were written in Latin. Hed taken this dead language at school and knew the only way not to lose it was to keep in practice with it, like translating old tomes. His adrenaline was still pumping and it made it rather difficult to concentrate on his translations so he took to meditation. He mentally spoke out to the cosmos and for once, they answered back. Some unknown force spoke to him, showing him what appeared to be words in his mind. Max immediately stopped and ran to scribble down the phrase written. Unable to translate it he threw the paper in frustration towards his full length mirror. The page now read "Magi fistula." Max spoke the words aloud and nothing happened, until he tried them in reverse "Alutsif Igam" energy began to form and distort in the area of his right hand, elongating and finally taking shape of a fighting cane. He had successfully conjured a weapon.

[b][color=aba400]General History:[/color][/b]

 Max grew up an only child. He was raised by his mother and father who did nothing but want to support their child, if not in their own way. Having always been a very studios kid, he was labeled a "Nerd" or "Geek" and thus began to be bullied at Middle School. He hid the bruises and shot ego for a while from his parents, until one day his mother caught a glimpse from under his sleeve. They brought it up to the principal and nothing came of it. That summer his dad was intent on helping Max by enrolling him in the Institute for Martial Arts. Hoping his new found skills would help Max fend against school Bullies.

 That summer Max trained his mind and body, quickly picking up some moves to help against bigger opponents. His father may have intended this as a way to help himself, but Max viewed it as a means to help others at the school. Upon returning from summer break the bullies were at it again, this time they didnt win. Max used his knowledge of Martial Arts to subdue the menace and to proclaim that if anyone was to attempt this around him again that he would personally see it stopped. From there life began to look up, he didnt pay much mind to the mutant struggles as they were hardly discussed at home.

 Going into High School the politics around mutants became more and more prevalent. His parents always spoke the word with such venom, that max dared not speak against it. He didnt quite understand the hostility towards them, how was it any different from say...a homosexual? That is to say, himself. His views were best kept secret as well as his sexuality, that was one thing his parents didnt have to control. He pressed forward, learning Latin and continuing his Martial Arts; began taking photography classes and was later gifted a camera. Now 17, Max has awoken to his new power and attempted to contact the cosmos everyday. Sometimes it was silence, other times guidance, and only on three occasions were words of power given. 

 When practicing his conjugation of fire, his mother walked in and proceeded to scream and cause a ruckus. His father came rushing in and saw that his son, no, this vile creature, was using powers within his household. Max quickly found out his parents were Purifier sympathizers and they immediately called the local gang to attempt to take their sun away. Max barely escaped his house, grabbing his bag that contained a few items, and then roughing it out in the world. He started hiding and sleeping amongst the homeless, as his friends turned him away. He stole food from stores that weren't heavily guarded, and attempted to make a life for not only himself, but any mutants that he came across.

[b][color=aba400]Anything Else:[/color][/b] Tome cannot create or conjure at will as it currently stands. Through meditation and practice, he is gifted "words of power" that must first be inscribed onto a paper, book, etc. The words must then be spoken backwards (as they are presented) in order to be able to later conjure the item/spell. The Cosmos arent always keen to give out their secrets and thus Max must get stronger before he can continue to unlock more of the worlds mysteries.
