Maksim Volkov/Character Arc

==Character Arc==
Laying the Groundwork
Arriving in the City of Los Santos, Maksim Volkov had ambitions to start his own mechanic shop, but he needed help and information if anything were to happen.
During his first day in the city, he became associates with Johnathan Sterling who despite being constantly drunk, would later become the Department of Motor Vehicles Manager, and future paralegal, Aiden Harrow.
The next day, Maksim was scouting around for an ideal location for his mechanic shop. He reunited with his best friend, Sean Tinker. Together, they settled on area near the docks. They brainstormed the name for the future mechanic shop and they came up with TurboMax.
Maksim and Tinker went to attend a event at the Vanilla Unicorn. There they met Vivian Stillwater, who Tinker made extremely loyal.
Looking through the directory, Maksim found a mechanic, Dominic Santoro. They spent a day working together as mechanics. Dominic then said that Maksim was his "Sensei" and would join him in TurboMax when it opened. He would also start Stick-N-Poke Tattoos to support TurboMax.
Dominic then told Maksim about a fellow mechanic whom he taught, Jessie Jugg. Maksim scheduled a meeting with her to see if she is what Dominic says she is. In the end, Maksim was impressed and offered her a job at TurboMax. She accepted and Maksim gave her the task of making the business proposal for TurboMax.
Maksim then met Johnathan again with his friends, Jessica Halley, Diana Blackwood, and Lucy Sharpe. Maksim also met Georgia Everly and Lena Drozdova. Out of all of them, Maksim saw potential mechanics in Jessica and Georgia, offering them jobs at TurboMax when it opened.
The next day, Maksim saw that there were Hayes employees who worked at Benny's Original Motor Works. Annoyed at their claim to Benny's, Maksim, Tinker, Vivian, and Lena kidnapped two Hayes employees and interrogated them as to why they were working there. They claimed that their boss told them to and said that they will continue to work at Benny's. As a result, Maksim clobbered them over their heads with a bat and left them.
After the kidnapping, Maksim and Lena had a heart to heart conversation, improving their relations. She offered to assist him through criminals means with a new group she named, the Red Right Hand.
Complications
As both TurboMax and the Red Right Hand began to grow in numbers, problems start to arise between leadership and loyalties.
During one day, Maksim Volkov and Lena Drozdova became close. He gifted her ruby earrings and invited her to stay in his RV, where she made Borscht.
After the first part of The Red List event on February 2nd, 2024, Lena invited Maksim to stay at her room in the Devine Towers where they discussed their time in the RV and how nothing happened between them. As a result, they started to be very toxic in their relationship. 
During the second part of the event, Maksim and Jessica Halley started to become close. This lead to Lena to threatening to kill Jessica and argue with Maksim. Maksim decided to drive his RV around, and get away from Lena for the rest of the day.
Maksim later returned, but the situation left a bad impression on the members of the Red Right Hand, leading them to renounce TurboMax as their clean front and start their own business, Redlist Records. However, Maksim and Sean Tinker would still support each other in their operations.
Maksim met up with Lena and Jessica who have settled matters with each other. Despite tensions, the three of them slept together at Lena's place, starting a relationship with no labels.
During The Red List event on February 13th, 2024, Maksim put a bunch of songs together that conveniently were all love songs to play at his set. Hearing the songs lyrics, Lena confronted Maksim after his set, but he too high to answer her questions. Lena then left the event early, confused at his intentions.
Start of TurboMax
On March 4th, 2024, Maksim Volkov met with the Mayor Sean Deane, and had the business proposal for TurboMax approved. For now, it was being temporarily leased by the State until the actual building of TurboMax has finished construction. Over the course of a few weeks, Maksim helped set up the foundations for Turbomax, having Jessie Jugg and Jessica Halley as managers, and Dominic Santoro, Antonio De Leon, Manny Soto, Vincent Calitri, Annie Webber, Josephine Holm, and Lena Drozdova as employees.
On March 17th, 2024, Maksim had Lena learn how to drive better in his new car, they got pulled over and managed to be let off with a warning.
