JKMaxx

***JKMaxx*** (ジェイケイマックス) is a veteran user, Federation Trooper and former moderator on the Metroid Community Discord. He joined the server in July of 2016 and has been a regular, albeit with occasional disappearances and reappearances, to this day.

Maxx is known by his fairly chill, relaxed demeanor and positive attitude toward most things; for example, he enjoys both iterations of the *Star Wars Expanded Universe,* and will finish almost any game he starts regardless of quality. He used to talk often about his former fiancé, now married, and their experiences getting him to play the Metroid series, but has since weaned off since there are no new Metroid games to force him to play.

His favorite Metroid game is *Metroid Prime 2: Echoes*, though he is also quite fond of the original NES *Metroid,* the rest of the *Prime* trilogy and *Fusion.* He has even been known to come to the defense of the infamous *Federation Force* with the caveat of playing it multiplayer, though even Maxx carries a strong distaste for *Other M* and went so far as to create an amateur fix-hack, rather witlessly titled *Other M: Maxximum Edition,* just so that his then-fiancé would play it and finish completing the Metroid series. Other Nintendo series Maxx includes among his favorites are *Paper Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong Country, Pikmin, Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem* and *Super Smash Bros.,* and outside of Nintendo are *Sonic the Hedgehog, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, NieR,* *Portal*, the *Star Wars* video games and Bioware RPGs.

He is currently playing *Animal Crossing, Ninja Gaiden Black, Astral Chain* and *Doom (1993).*

He also recently completed *Final Fantasy VII Remake, Resident Evil VII: Biohazard VR, Deltarune Chapter 1, Doom VFR, Blood & Truth, Espire 1: VR Operative* and *Astro Bot Rescue Mission.*

## Trivia

* Maxx has completed every game in the *Metroid* series on their hardest difficulty and at 100%, a feat that for other games he is usually too casual a fan to bother with.
* Maxx is secretly a much bigger *Star Wars* fan than most people probably realize; in 2019, he did a run-through of every single piece of canon material, including shows, novels, comics, video games, junior novels, and even some of his favorite Legends content such as *Knights of the Old Republic* and many prequel-era novels he grew up with.
* Maxx's favorite cartoon is *Code Lyoko*, oddly, for which he used to write fanfiction that will never see the light of day.
* It is Maxx's ultimate goal to have completed every Nintendo game to ever exist as well as (at least) mainline entries of other noteworthy third party franchises. His backlog is extraordinarily long as a result.
* Maxx has a puppy named Moose, which he named solely based on the moose that can be seen in *NieR Automata.* This is because while playing, he immediately became attached to the moose and would go out of his way to interact with them, much to his partner's amusement. He almost cried when he accidentally killed one by jumping off of a cliff with it.
* Maxx has a tendency to start a million projects and finish none of them, including a Metroid fangame, a sci-fi novel and an original game in Unity with characters from said novel. He doesn't like posting anything from these projects out of fear of creating expectations and looking bad when he never finishes it.
* Maxx has The Big Gay. It's terminal.
