Maverick Jones

Maverick Jones, mostly called Mav, is a character in Thirlcrest Academy, played by cybubenz. He is a Greaser in the Autoshop Club.
==Appearance==
Maverick's extremely built physique would make up for his height of 5'10, his blue eyes and outshining blonde hair makes him an outstanding person overall, someone you can't really miss in public. He always wears a denim vest over his outfit, a jacket he brought from Detroit before departing and moving into Thirlcrest Academy.
==Characteristics==
A rather joyous boy, Maverick either plasters a huge smile on his face or an intimidating frown on his bad days. Being an energetic person, Maverick's characteristic traits blend in with his ego, and how much his attention span can really hold. Sometimes, he likes to lie for the sake of starting a conversation, or receiving attention.
A stand up person, Maverick would never turn down a fight if he was ever dared- his pride being a larger portion of who he is. Without the confidence that he would do anything that would be dared upon him, his thriving personality of a straight forward person remains consistent.
Due to being born in Detroit, he follows an accent of both his family and the streets he was raised in. Primarily being an American, the southern accent that his family follows traditionally can be heard through his voice as well as newer slang off the streets of Detroit.
==Character Background==
Maverick Jones's life in Detroit was marked by hardship and survival from a very young age. Born into a world where gang affiliation was more common than after-school activities, Maverick was exposed to the harsh realities of street life early on. By the age of 8, he was already associated with local gangs, not out of desire, but as a means to navigate the dangerous environment he was born into.
At the age of 11, Maverick experienced a harrowing incident that would leave an indelible mark on him. While acting as a decoy for a gang of drug dealers—a role dangerously thrust upon him—he witnessed a brutal murder right before his eyes. The traumatic experience numbed his emotional response to violence, embedding a deep-seated insensitivity that would affect his behavior for years to come.
Maverick's adolescence was tumultuous. As he progressed through middle school and junior high, his interactions often escalated into severe confrontations. His increasingly aggressive behavior culminated in a shocking incident where he used a can of Febreze and a lighter to set another student on fire. The act was so extreme that it caught the attention of the media, painting Maverick as a dangerous individual. This led to him serving two years in juvenile detention.
During this period of intense personal struggle, Maverick found some solace in his father's garage. His father, a stern but skilled mechanic, saw the garage as a place for Maverick to channel his energies into something constructive. Whenever he was suspended—which happened across four different schools—his father would put him to work. It was here, amidst the scent of oil and metal, that Maverick learned the intricacies of car repair, a skill that he developed from necessity but grew to respect.
Upon his release from juvenile detention, Maverick and his family moved to Thirlcrest County, a fresh start away from the memories and mistakes of Detroit. Here, he enrolled in Thirlcrest Academy, a reformatory school that promised new beginnings for troubled youth. At Thirlcrest, Maverick joined the Autoshop club, a decision that rekindled his earlier passion for mechanics. This environment, focused on rehabilitation through vocational training and friendship, offered Maverick a chance to rebuild his reputation and redirect his life towards a more positive trajectory.
Through the mentorship of club advisors and the camaraderie among club members, Maverick began to see a future for himself that didn't include the violence of his past. Thirlcrest Academy became his proving ground, a place to demonstrate that his talents and his past did not define his capacity for change.
==Relationships==
===Duke Holloway===
"They call me Dangerous Maverick back in Detroit!" - Maverick bluffing to Duke about how good he was at baseball.
Maverick's first friend in Thirlcrest Academy, Duke and Maverick had gotten along really quickly. Both of their personalities clicked together, whether it be their humor or how much loyalty they had for each other when one was in trouble. Either way, it would seem that the duo have a strong bond which will remain alike for a while.
===Valentino Santorro===
"Hey, if he's Mother Russia, what're you- Mother Italia..?" - Maverick throwing a horribly made joke at his friend, Valentino.
Just like Duke, Maverick has the same respect for Valentino. A humble giant that Maverick see's as a brother, loyalty is one thing he could also guarantee Valentino. 
===Josie Montoya===
"That shirt on you looks cute, you know that?" - Maverick sweet talking Josie before he would come to realize she was Brett McKnight's girlfriend.
After getting to know her at the pit during their open bar, he would exchange numbers with Josie after offering to fix her motorcycle that she owned. Once bringing her motorcycle, Maverick and his friends thought it would be funny to scam Josie- not having much interest of dating her after knowing she was already with Brett McKnight. It started with a swarm of cheerleaders complaining to the garage, and Igor bitch slapping Josie in the face, for being a bitch.
=== Igor Kozryev ===
"Mother Russia, what's good!?" - A name Maverick picked up on earlier after getting to know Igor.
After recent interactions with the Varsity Program, Maverick has a subtle amount for Igor, though his hatred for a couple of the Jocks wouldn't change his mindset on the entire program.
=== Daniel Park ===
"I'll stab you, you fucking moron. Watch it!" - Maverick threatening to stab Daniel with pliers after Duke and Braden's second fight.
Not very fond of Daniel, Maverick likes to press him from time to time, with any chance he gets.
