uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you guys can [i]totally[/i] ignore all of this. i'm just exploring/writing about character stuff here. :'D

[color=8080FF]Maximillion Barker "Max"/Loyal Friend:[/color]

Having been born in a timeline where a world-wide scale apocalypse happened to the world when he was just 11, Max had to learn very quickly how to survive and keep himself from dying horribly. Thankfully, he was in a rather large family, who helped him adapt pretty quickly to not attracting attention from the horrific monsters outside, and taught him how to be a survivor of the now hostile world.

Of course, this didn't last long.

A month after Max turned 12, he was sent by his family to get some left over medicine from a long abandoned store, due to his mom suddenly dying from a very fast acting illness that was from said monsters. He had to sneak his way past the many monsters prowling around in the wrecked neighborhood, and almost got killed by at least some of them. However, he finally reached the store after about a half an hour, and when the door didn't work, he tried to find other ways in. He was then suddenly knocked out by a man in a stained, white lab coat, who had been stalking him all the way to the store...

After that, Max still remembers some bits and pieces from here and there, but nothing concrete. His first real memory at that point was escaping the lab he was in for some reason, fighting the man in the stained lab coat, and rushing outside, feeling free for the first time in a while-

Then, he saw what he now looked like...

And it wasn't Max.

It was a monster, and not only that, but a monster who would've been right at home with the other monsters, who caused the apocalypse he'd been recently living through in the first place.

And.

He.

Screamed.

((Max is a [i]very[/i] curious, yet also terrified and confused preteen. He's supposed to be 14, but acts like a 12 year old due to a rather large memory gap when the experiments on him took place, and he looks like a tall, fully grown beast, with parts from a whole bunch of different animals. He [i]hates[/i] his new form, and wants to stop looking like a monster and scaring people, but he can't turn back. Believe me, he's tried. He tries to be kind and compassionate, and also tries to be gentle, but he's not really used to anything about his new form yet, and often intimidates people and acts out due to his overall confusion, anger, and fear. At the end of the day, he'd [i]really[/i] just like to go back home to his family and never have to deal with the apocalypse ever again, but he just doesn't know how.

When he befriends the Titans and chooses to fight in order to protect people, he chooses the hero name "Loyal Friend", because that's all he wants to be for his newfound friends: a loyal friend.))
