Milicus Maddox

Child of mercenary Elaine Maddox and Darius Irving, **Milicus Maddox** is a resident of the *FSV Opolai*.

## Biography

Milicus was born to Elaine Maddox and Darius Irving when the two of them were both nineteen. Neither of them had the means to care for the child on their own, and so the two of them joined the Alliance, since they’d already planned to and it’d provide a stable source of income, not to mention a roof over their heads and three free meals a day. So, the blonde-haired bastard was a military brat from very early on. Even after his parents got married, one of them was often gone for long periods at a time. Milicus didn’t mind it though, they always came back, and he always got love and adoration when they did.

One day, around when Milicus was five, his father went away for a long mission. It was extra long; he was never away from home for as long. Not long after, he and his mother had to move out of their house, and live somewhere else. They moved and moved from place to place, each more rough than the last. For a while they lived with his grandmother, but she and his mother had gotten into a really bad argument so that ended pretty quickly. Milicus had wanted to live with his auntie but she lived out of a shuttle in god knows where and there wasn’t nearly enough space for them there.

So, around and around they went. Eventually, Milicus figured his father simply wasn’t coming back. He still hoped he would, but somewhere in his heart, he knew that he and his mother were on their own. So he supported her, helped her in any way he could, because he saw her struggling, and that scared him.

## Personality

Many people underestimate Milicus because he’s a nine-year-old kid. It’s a mistake they’d regret; Milicus is as smart as his mother and only half as vulgar. He doesn’t take after her in the distrusting, misanthropy department, however. Milicus is generally more charismatic, and more curious than his mother. He likes to make friends, and he knows how to get to anyone’s heart. That being said, he’s still a kid and usually looks to mum for guidance. He’s learned everything from her; how to shoot a gun, how to program, how to hack, how to patch a hole. The works. Having grown up in that sort of environment, Milicus is many times more proficient with his Omni-Tool than anyone else his age, and many people older than him even. He likes to tinker with things and make little robot friends, since he’s usually the only kid wherever they go. Milicus is fond of his mother, and feels that she does her best for his sake. He wishes she’d take care of herself more, but understands that it could be worse. She isn’t a druggie or an alcoholic, after all. He always listens to her, though he may not always obey what she says. His favorite pastime is curling up by her side and just talking about their days.

Despite having lost his childish innocence long ago, Milicus remains outwardly kind at the behest of his mother. He is a genuinely kind soul and seeks to help others at every opportunity.

## Physical Description

Milicus is a spitting image of his mother; same impish grin, same blue eyes, but male. He’s about average height and weight for his age, with fluffy blonde hair framing his face and skin yet unblemished by acne. In place of acne, however, the young boy has many scars across his hands, knees, and elbows, from doing kid things

## Armament

Elaine gifted the child with an M-3 Predator heavy pistol, and prepared him to avoid combat by granting him an omni-tool with the combat abilities Sabotage and Tactical Cloak.
