Appearance: Maxima is 5’ 3”. She is quarter-Chinese, and she has dark orange eyes and brown hair that is often chopped off messily in a tinkering rage. She usually wears practical work clothes and thick steel-toe boots.

Powers: Pyrokinesis - the ability to control fire as well as being completely immune to being burned by fire. This ability can be used to control heat, fire, and lava. Technokinesis - the ability to either manipulate machines by physically animating them or controlling them like puppets, or communicate with machines, technology, lamps, vacuums, or any other machine.
Bio: Maxima was born into a lower-class family. Her mother, Marena, was a skilled craftsperson in both large and small crafts. Marena specializes in ornate detailing, but her handiwork is underappreciated because she is a woman working in a “man’s” field. Max is equally as talented as her mother in detailing, but also can understand fine details in machinery. She has chosen to focus on applying her skills to weaponry and thus is skilled in forging and detailing a variety of weapons. When Max turned six, Lupa took her to the Wolf House to be trained. Max keeps in limited contact with her mother, and she will occasionally visit her. Max’s only sibling, her older brother Fai, was murdered when Max was 14. Fai worked at a clothing store, and an enraged customer shot him when he refused to let them past to the backroom, where the other employees were hiding. Since the incident, she no longer fears the dark, and she softens her words. Sometimes. She graduated from high school two years early, and has gotten her degree in criminal justice. Max still loathes using a gun, which keeps her at lower-paying jobs, but she easily makes up for it with her metalworking. She volunteers at a local food pantry every Tuesday. She keeps in touch with Camp Jupiter, which is where she got her degree, but lives and works in Los Angeles.
Other: Likes: chocolate oranges, solitude, the dark, sarcasm, taking things at her own pace Dislikes: every other kind of sweet, guns, being told what to do, bright places, people She is blunt and insensitive, but fiercely loyal once she considers someone family.

Bio: Adam was born in Hacienda Carlota,Chihuahua, Mexico. A few months before his 12th birthday, his mother accepted a job in New York City, and the family of 6 uprooted and moved to Staten Island. Soon afterwards, Adam witnessed the “freak hurricane” on Governors Island, and wasn’t able to evacuate with the rest of the mortals. He realized that he could see glimpses of another layer of the storm that lead him towards the conflict with Setne. He fled when Sadie and Carter arrived, but recognized Carter a few weeks later in passing. He followed him to the Brooklyn House and after a week of not-so-subtly spying on the magicians, Adam was confronted and admitted to what he saw. To make a long story short, he was admitted into the House and began to follow the Path of Ihy. On his 16th birthday, Ihy came to him in his dreams and offered a host alliance. While Adam plays host to Ihy, his eyes are a vibrant teal. After the incident, Adam returned to the Brooklyn House. He trains the recruits in his free time, but most of his time is spent working towards his MA in Music, with an emphasis in music therapy. When he needs to follow the rules of capitalism, he takes on odd jobs that range from modeling to tutoring. He wields twin khopeshes and occasionally a staff. His left khopesh transforms into a wand.
Other Likes: music, playing instruments, singing, any kind of animal, having new experiences, beer, guys and girls Dislikes: disloyalty, performing, self-righteousness, transphobes, being forced to socialize, wine He values and protects his family above all else. This applies to blood family as well as chosen family.

Adam traces the symbols into the air in front of Max and Devon. "Sorry, guys. We need to keep the worlds separate." As the spell falls over them, he follows Jacob through the portal.
Adam kisses Artimes on the head and traces the same hieroglyphs on her back as he hugs her. "I'm so sorry, gotita," he whispers, catching her as she falls asleep as a side effect of the spell. ~~~ Max watches the exchange with wide eyes. "The fuck . . .?"
