Personality/Habits
Max is the embodiment of the strong silent type when operating in his day to day classes. At least until you piss him off, then he flips from this stoic diligent student into a raving lunatic just itching to get a brand new "training dummy or buddy" as he will correct himself. His personality quirks come from his over-commitment to trying to perfect everything. This leads him to be silent most of the time, as he focuses in on what he is doing allowing no distractions. However, if this state of zen is broken his real personality shines through as an aggressive, unempathetic, and selfish man who's only concern is advancing his own goals. He thinks little of anyone he doesn't believe is trying their absolute best to advance their studies. He also doesn't believe there is such a thing as a fair fight. In the real world, nobody plays fair and rules can and will be broken then so might as learn now. A quick note about Max is he loathes his name. He goes by Max to everyone that knows him and even insisted that the teachers to do the same. His parents believed his name was the perfect reflection of the future they saw for him and would strike fear in his enemies, but "Miximo Muerte" or "Maximum Death" in English had to be the lamest name possible. If you want to break his zen in an instant, just say his real name in front of him and he'll throw a fist before you finish his last name.
Background |
Max's family background is an interesting one too say the least. His family was actually quite wealthy and had a pretty good standing as elites in the business world. They have the same snobbish attitude as other rich people, but more modernized than the old school aristocrats who go on about prestige and how powerful their bloodlines are. Max's family believed in a different power. The power of money was far more useful than some entitled bloodline of dragons. Well, that and they specialized in summoning Demons. Though demons were more of a blanket term used for the myriad of Dark and dangerous creatures his family chose to specialize in as their favored summons. The family had a firm belief that raw destructive power wasn't as important for winning as abilities were. A dragon may rip apart stone with its claws, but all that strength does little to protect it from curses, poison, and illusions. This may not kill it, but in most fights, people tend to forget that the summoner is the far more important target. Max's family's real power is in not winning in the summon vs summon fight, but the summoner vs summoner.
To this end, Max was trained in various forms of combat to help combat the many kinds of summoners he may find himself squaring off against. He was taught to always press his advantage, but not to be afraid to hold onto a few tricks to catch his opponent by surprise with. Max learned a combination of Kickboxing and traditional Boxing to teach how to strike with strong decisive blows meant to end a fight fast if an opponent underestimated his unarmed abilities. He next learned swordplay though specialized in short swords and daggers. His goal was to either dual wield them if caught in a dual or to make a quick precise stab with a hidden blade if an opportunity presented itself. Then finally he was trained in small arms. He was taught to use various pistols both low and high caliber. His training did teach him the basics of rifles, but his family wanted his focus on close range combat. The idea was there were more opportunities to catch his opponent off in close range. The pistol was more meant to give him a range option in case his enemy was Machina who often specialize in such weapons or to give an enemy with overwhelming melee combat pause. His training was to use one large profile high caliber pistol to worn at his side and to keep a second low caliber silenced pistol hidden on his body. The idea is that any sensible enemy would zero in on the large pistol as the greatest threat and aim to take it out, but would then be caught off by the silent plink of the silenced pistol when they least expect it.
This arsenal of training is finally backed up with state of the art equipment to further sharpen Max's edge in any surprise combat scenario. Max can be seen wearing a large red duster at all times and a pair of black combat pants with armored gloves and boots. He can also be seen wearing a short sword along his back and pistol at his right hip. The duster, pants, gloves an boots are all made of a special material called Graphene that has been arranged in a very strong pattern. The material is rated to be 10 times as stronger than the average steel and weigh 20 times less. There are inserts of actual high-grade steel in the toes of the boots and on the back of the hands and in the knuckles to add stopping power to his punches and kicks. The outfit is actually very breathable and is padded with silk to add comfort and some impact resistance. The dye job of red and black was Max's idea as he liked the stand out colors, but the undershirt is also black so if he needs to he can ditch the red for a more subtle all black attire.
Summon of the day/week
Max has a unique relationship with his summons being that he has none. His winning personality doesn't do him any favors when it comes to connecting with otherworldly beings. He shows no lack of abilities when it comes to summoning unusual and powerful beings from beyond, but his harmony with such creatures is disastrous and they tend to not obey his commands. Max has no problem with this surprisingly insisting that it's simply a matter of finding his perfect summon. The world is huge and the other worlds even more so. He won't settle for garbage and is more than willing to search all of creation for his ideal match. He believes the day he finds it he will be unstoppable.

Changing
Powers and Abilities
They are said to have superior strength, but only slightly more than a human. Their agility is also otherworldy able to cling to smooth walls and ceilings with bare hands and feet and while carrying another person.
They have sharp teeth and a lamprey-like mouth that allows them to feed on creatures, human or otherwise. They do so by bitting onto them and draining the life and magic from their body. They can appear human and even can impersonate summons if they are humanoid. Their true appearance can be revealed by a mirror but is otherwise flawless. Finally, their final and arguably greatest gift is their near invulnerability to mundane damage sources. They are not perfect immune and can be fought off, but only fire can truly harm and even kill these monsters.
"Perfect" Max whispers as he slams his book closed.
