【 PERSONALITY 】
Maxwell has never been one for fighting.  Even as a child, he tried to be the peacemaker.  When teased he tried to talk it out or just ignore it, when hit he would defend himself but not hit back.  Though more openly sensitive than most boys, he learned quickly not to let mocking bother him too much.  An only child for many years and born in a gap between two clumps of cousins, he looked up to the elder ones and tended to look after the younger ones when at family gatherings.  He's a soft touch and a pushover, often easy to take advantage of.  He genuinely cares about people in general, and does his best to lend a helping hand or give a shoulder to cry on wherever it's needed.  Those traits made him a number of friends, and while he was never one of the popular ones in school it was known that if you needed someone to talk to, Maxwell would listen.  That's not to say he's good at giving advice.  He will make suggestions if asked, but he's really better at letting a person just get things off their chest.

Even as an adult, Maxwell is still very idealistic and naive.  He believes that people are good at the core.  He tries to avoid judging people because of things they have no control over, though it's not possible to avoid completely, and he thinks the world would be a better place if everyone would just try to get along.  He dislikes violence and unthinking hatred.  If he sees a chance to help someone, he tries to take it, even at cost to himself.  He might be accused of being a goody two-shoes, but it's better than being a jaded cynic.

【 PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE 】
It was late one evening and Maxwell was just getting back to his dorm.  To his surprise, there on the front step was a woman, clearly injured.  She had bleeding slashes across her abdomen, which he quickly treated, but when he turned to unlock the door and get her inside, the woman vanished like she had never been there at all.

【 BIOGRAPHY 】
Maxwell is descended from a long line of doctors and physicians, though not an unbroken one.  His father is a respected doctor, and his grandfather was a pharmacist.  His family was well off, and as a child he wanted for little.  When he was seven his parents divorced, following several years of increasingly intense disagreements, despite their efforts to stay together for his sake.  His father eventually remarried and had two children with his second wife.  Maxwell adored his younger cousins, and then his baby siblings, and he was always patching up skinned knees and hurt feelings.  He decided in late middle school that he wanted to be a doctor when he grew up, and has relentlessly pursued that dream since.

He did well in high school and was accepted into his first choice of college with a scholarship.  Four years later he started medical school.  Offered the chance to spend a semester abroad for study in Russia, he jumped at the opportunity.  He speaks little Russian (read: none) but he's always wanted to travel.
