BreakingMe

Into the Harsh Light of Day

Name: Maxine “Max” James

Species: Turned Vampire

Age: Appears 21

Appearance:


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.

@Kidd

@BreakingMe You might want to explain how she's been hiding the fact that she's a vampire for about a year. Where is she getting the blood? Is she drinking from the vein? Also, you can delete anything I gave you in parenthesis such as "(any notable weaknesses, fun facts, and anything else you want us to know about your character)" so it looks cleaner.

Fix that up and you should be good.

@Kidd

Done - I added that she moved across the state for college so she doesn't see her family and she feeds off of pricks from the bar :)

Nekoda spends most of her time at work. You can’t run a Fortune 500 company if you don’t, after all. However, the small amount of time she takes away, she likes to spend it improving herself. She exercises extensively (some say to an obsessive amount.) She vacations at a home she owns in a Greece for two weeks a year where she sightsees, goes rock climbing, and relaxes in her in-home spa. She is also somewhat of a food connoisseur. She makes it a habit to try a new food whenever possible.

|{Habits}|

- When Nekoda feels out of control, she will often clench her palms, pressing her fingernails hard enough to break her skin. She has also been known to break furniture.
- During a presentation or talking about something she has a passion for, she will wave her hands excessively.
- She refuses to see a doctor except for in emergency situations. She believes her body is stubborn enough to fight of most anything.

|{Personality}|

♦ Tenacious ♦ Stubborn ♦ Reserved ♦ Passionate ♦

To describe Nekoda as a “go-getter” would be a vast understatement. Any picture you may have of a frigid, overbearing boss would look like child’s play in comparison to the workforce that she is. Although she is fair and decisive, Kody can be incredibly demanding and rigorous. She knows that the business world is cutthroat, especially for women. While she can relax and have a good time, she sees a true good time as finishing a project or starting another one. She sees men as a means to an end and believes them to generally be a waste of time. She doesn’t believe she has ever met her match mentally and consistently looks forward to a challenge. While she may come off as unhappy, in reality, she is very content, loves her life, and finds joy in such things as food, baseball (which she inherited from her father), and learning about new cultures.

|{Place Of Origin}|

Detroit, Michigan

|{History}|

Nekoda wasn’t born into the life of wealth that she has now. Her mother and twin sister had died during the girls’ birth because of complications. Nekoda was left alone with her father who worked two jobs to keep a roof over their heads. She often stayed with a neighbor to accommodate her father’s demanding schedule. The day after her 10th birthday, her father came home and announced that he had started a new company which had taken off and they were moving to a bigger and better life. He soon became the wealthiest man in the area, often spoiling Nekoda with material things. She however, wished for his presence instead. After confronting him about his absence in her life, her father struck her across her face and accused her of being ungrateful for the life he provided for her. After that day, she never spoke another word about her desire for a relationship with him - or anyone. She no longer found comfort in others.

Nekoda quickly took on her father’s business outlook on life. She excelled in school, was accepted to Stanford’s business school and graduated top of her class, only dating when she felt it necessary to achieve a goal. She went to work under her father soon after her 22nd birthday as Vice President of the company. She lavished her life of private jets, designer clothing, and extravagant societal influence. She, however, still missed her father. Not too soon after she took the reigns as VP, her father was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. He died shortly before her 24th birthday. When his will was read, Nekoda was astonished to learn that he had given her complete control of the company instead of handing it over to a board of directors as she had expected him to do. His will was accompanied by a letter telling Kody of all the regrets he had in life, most notably missing out on such a large portion of her childhood because of work. He encouraged her to not take her life too seriously and to put work on a back burner. This, instead, motivated her to work harder. She realized that without work, she had no life. It left her feeling empty and hurt - a feeling she despised. She pushed for longer hours at work, more perfect projects, and less failure, much to the dismay of her employees.

On Nekoda’s 27th birthday, her staff threw her a surprise birthday party - a weak attempt to bring happiness to her life. Kody was so flustered that she broke a desk in her office. She immediately recognized how out of control she felt. After spending a few weeks seeing a psychologist, the doctor recommended that she take a vacation to relieve the overwhelming burnout she felt in her life. Nekoda ordered her assistant to book her the first vacation spot she could find. Little did she suspect that that decision would land her in the middle of Alaska…

|{Extra}|

She doesn’t drink alcohol. She doesn’t like pets but doesn’t mind most animals themselves. She attends social obligations out of necessity for her job and hardly smiles.

Deacon was Nekoda’s father (deceased) and was always the most influential person in her life. She lived and breathed in the shadow of his life. She models who she is after who she always knew him to be.

☮ Ashley Lake ☮
"She is the most efficient and effective person at her job. And she likes the Tigers. What’s not to love?"
Ashley was hired as Nekoda’s personal assistant the same day Kody took the VP job at Vanity. The two are the same age and, in fact, share the same birthday. Although Ashley can be too timid for Kody’s liking, the two have grown close and occasionally spend time together outside of work.

♫/♥ Paxton Levi ♫/♥
"He’s basically the male version of me. It makes him a great partner."
Nekoda doesn’t really think she has a best friend, but if she did, it would be Pax. They were competitors at Stanford but formed a bond during late night studies and…other late night activities… that Kody hasn’t found in anyone else. She finds him incredibly attractive. Because of his success with his tech business, she often uses him to bounce new ideas off of. She also uses him to “satiate her urges” but has never regarded him as more - mostly because he satiates his own urges with many, many others.

☠ Uriah Forrester ☠
"One day I will take him down and having him kissing my boots in reverence.”
Uriah owns Vanity’s biggest competitor, Lux Cosmetics. His questionable business practices and inability to keep his eyes above Kody’s bust line (not to mention that comb over…) have left a bad taste in Nekoda’s mouth since the day they met. She’ll run him out of business if it’s the last thing she does in life.

⚜ Jerika Chaste ⚜

Jerika is Nekoda’s Chief Financial Officer. She’s worked for Nekoda for 3 years and still replies to “Jessica”.

Thomas took over the position of Projects Manager after the passing of Deacon Carter. He’s had eyes for Nekoda for years but has never worked up the nerve to tell her.

Dead School: Deaducation (Closed)

Kansas gets up from the table she was sitting at takes her uneaten tray over to the trash can. She pushes the contents into the dark garbage bag and brings the tray back to the dish line where she drops it onto the assembly line. It clangs loudly but no one seems to notice. The entire room is buzzing with impatience. She's impatient herself but knows it won't help to complain. I have to keep us sane. She heads back to the table and glances at the students sitting beside her.

What will get us through this? She notes that everyone sitting with her seems to make up a number of different cliques, as if everyone is bonding because of the lockdown. Wouldn't that be nice? It's a sarcastic though but some small bit of truth rings out in the statement. What if we really all did bond together? What if after this...whatever this is...we're all the best of the friends? The jocks and the nerds, the cheerleaders and the burnouts, the overachievers and the slackers. That'd be amusing. She looks over at some of her peers who are casually picking after their food. No one eats because, well, the food is disgusting. "If you keep playing with it like that, it'll turn into pizza." She winks at the student across from her when they look up from their tray.

She has each ear pierced once. She also has a thin, pale, 3 inch scar running down each calf, in the same spot, from landing on a wood board that was floating in a river she jumped into as a child.

|{Hobbies}|

Nekoda spends most of her time at work. You can’t run a Fortune 500 company if you don’t, after all. However, the small amount of time she takes away, she likes to spend it improving herself. She exercises extensively (some say to an obsessive amount.) She vacations at a home she owns in a Greece for two weeks a year where she sightsees, goes rock climbing, and relaxes in her in-home spa. She is also somewhat of a food connoisseur. She makes it a habit to try a new food whenever possible.

|{Habits}|

- When Nekoda feels out of control, she will often clench her palms, pressing her fingernails hard enough to break her skin. She has also been known to break furniture.
- During a presentation or talking about something she has a passion for, she will wave her hands excessively.
- She refuses to see a doctor except for in emergency situations. She believes her body is stubborn enough to fight of most anything.

|{Fears}|

☠ Being seen as a failure ☠ Losing control ☠ Birds, bees, anything animal that can fly

|{Personality}|

♦ Tenacious ♦ Stubborn ♦ Reserved ♦ Passionate ♦

To describe Nekoda as a “go-getter” would be a vast understatement. Any picture you may have of a frigid, overbearing boss would look like child’s play in comparison to the workforce that she is. Although she is fair and decisive, Kody can be incredibly demanding and rigorous. She knows that the business world is cutthroat, especially for women. While she can relax and have a good time, she sees a true good time as finishing a project or starting another one. She sees men as a means to an end and believes them to generally be a waste of time. She doesn’t believe she has ever met her match mentally and consistently looks forward to a challenge. While she may come off as unhappy, in reality, she is very content, loves her life, and finds joy in such things as food, baseball (which she inherited from her father), and learning about new cultures.

|{Place Of Origin}|

Detroit, Michigan

|{History}|

Nekoda wasn’t born into the life of wealth that she has now. Her mother and twin sister had died during the girls’ birth because of complications. Nekoda was left alone with her father who worked two jobs to keep a roof over their heads. She often stayed with a neighbor to accommodate her father’s demanding schedule. The day after her 10th birthday, her father came home and announced that he had started a new company which had taken off and they were moving to a bigger and better life. He soon became the wealthiest man in the area, often spoiling Nekoda with material things. She however, wished for his presence instead. After confronting him about his absence in her life, her father struck her across her face and accused her of being ungrateful for the life he provided for her. After that day, she never spoke another word about her desire for a relationship with him - or anyone. She no longer found comfort in others.

Nekoda quickly took on her father’s business outlook on life. She excelled in school, was accepted to Stanford’s business school and graduated top of her class, only dating when she felt it necessary to achieve a goal. She went to work under her father soon after her 22nd birthday as Vice President of the company. She lavished her life of private jets, designer clothing, and extravagant societal influence. She, however, still missed her father. Not too soon after she took the reigns as VP, her father was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. He died shortly before her 24th birthday. When his will was read, Nekoda was astonished to learn that he had given her complete control of the company instead of handing it over to a board of directors as she had expected him to do. His will was accompanied by a letter telling Kody of all the regrets he had in life, most notably missing out on such a large portion of her childhood because of work. He encouraged her to not take her life too seriously and to put work on a back burner. This, instead, motivated her to work harder. She realized that without work, she had no life. It left her feeling empty and hurt - a feeling she despised. She pushed for longer hours at work, more perfect projects, and less failure, much to the dismay of her employees.

On Nekoda’s 27th birthday, her staff threw her a surprise birthday party - a weak attempt to bring happiness to her life. Kody was so flustered that she broke a desk in her office. She immediately recognized how out of control she felt. After spending a few weeks seeing a psychologist, the doctor recommended that she take a vacation to relieve the overwhelming burnout she felt in her life. Nekoda ordered her assistant to book her the first vacation spot she could find. Little did she suspect that that decision would land her in the middle of Alaska…

|{Extra}|

She doesn’t drink alcohol. She doesn’t like pets but doesn’t mind most animals themselves. She attends social obligations out of necessity for her job and hardly smiles.

I Am Machine – Three Days Grace
_{”I am machine,
I never sleep.
I keep my eyes wide open.
I am machine,
A part of me wishes
I could just feel something.”}
