Max

Max Ruford is a core ally and deuteragonist of the first Act of The Rift Maker. A sharp-suited man who appeared before James one fateful night, Max acts as the group's de facto leader and guide through their adventure. A man of action, his quick wits and sharp eye make him a formidable gunfighter.
== History ==
An ever present mystery, Max is often silent. He's not the type to divulge secrets, especially to people he doesn't know nor care about. Though his stoic demeanor may be misunderstood as the product of a shady and dangerous personality, Max has a very strong moral code that ensures he's someone you can trust. Selfless and devoted to the cause he fights for (whatever that is), Max can and will put his life at risk if it means the advancement towards his and his allies' goals. He has a very specific taste for fancy suits, despite the style being long dead; he's a bit old-fashioned, quite literally.
Max first appeared to James in the middle of the night. Just outside James' bedroom window, a vehicle from the future displaced space and presented itself with a bright light. The man inside the vehicle outstretched a hand, and beckoned James to step inside the vehicle. 
"We don't have much time. There are forces at play that ask for your immediate destruction. I've been tasked with preventing that." 
James was understandably hesitant to climb in. However, a certain voice that spoke to him prior in his slumber foretold the coming of this man. The insanity and impossibility of the situation, to James, was ironically confirmation that everything he had been told was the complete truth. With further deliberation, James finally made his choice. He took a leap into the future.
== Abilities ==
Despite not having unlocked Potential, Max's straightforward but practical skillset makes him not someone to be trifled with.
=== Endurance ===
Max is incredibly resilient and coolheaded in the heat of battle. His gutsy demeanor and high tolerance to pain allows him to go toe-to-toe with even the strongest of abilities the universe has to offer.
=== Marksmanship ===
Max is a crack shot, which when combined with his iron will and endurance, makes him someone not to be underestimated. His weapon of choice is a standard issue laser gun, which uses a renewable and regenerative plasma as ammunition, which means that Max never has to worry about running out of ammo. The properties of the laser allow it to ricochet off walls, and are unaffected by air resistance.
== Trivia ==
* Max gets his name from Max's Restaurant, a restaurant that serves Filipino cuisine of whom some dickhead is quite fond of.
** On a further note, Max is of Filipino descent.
