### **Description**

Lord Max is a builder and an amatuer redstoner, this doesn't discourage him from trying and is very into the role playing aspects of the server, being in someway in most story lines that the server offers. He is one of the original members of the server, joining in the early days with Kutaro and Discoman. Lord also played on both Bonk goes Hardcore and Bonk Origins.

## Season 2

### **The Rise of Max Nook**

Lord Max joined the world of the the Bonk SMP season 2 and went exploring. He soon found a plains biome near a village where he built an upsidedown home he adoringly named: The Upsidedown Establishment of Squire Lord Max 1, planning on this to be his starter base. He realised he lived too far away from anyone so he decided to move to the up and coming Bankruptia region and built a shop.

Soon he opened Lord Max's Goods and Wares, a general store. The following day Lord became Max Nook, the business man and owner of Max Nook's Goods and Wares ltd.

Lord then experienced some changes, as he become more and more like Tom Nook he became more anatomically a Racoon, beginning with growing a tail. The next change Lord experienced was growing ears.

The raccoon affliction got worse and quickly Lord became full raccoon. He then theorised ways to reverse the "curse". His first theory to was to eat someone so he went and sheared Kutaro. This failed. His second theory was to drink Milk so he went and milked Ekk's "goats". This again failed. The next theory was to be sacrificed. So he gathered a group and Ekk killed him. This kind of worked as he was no longer a raccoon but instead he gained the features of Ekk.

Lord worked out how to solve this by mixing a health potion with an item of his past. This just reversed and halted the raccoon affects so he was stuck with a tail and ears.

Next Lord got to work on his factory which took 2 days to build and towered above the farm. Following this construction he began work on the Nook estate, a manor house that overlooked the factory.

Lord Nook's next venture was his employment scheme. Plastering posters around the server, Lord advertised his new employment where he would get the other players to work his non-automatic farms in the factory in turn to be paid in diamonds. This came about as Lord found no one was purchasing goods from his shop as no one had diamonds.

Lord then evicted Mercury from premium records due to the failure of the business and it being on Lord's land. Mercury complied. However this was a very large mistake for Lord. The following day Lord entered the reaccquired property but Mercury had rigged the door to blow. This launched Lord back destroying all of his items and badly injuring Lord. Following a banning from all associated areas of the Bankruptia region, Mercury paid Lord reparations and Lord forgave Mercury's actions. However Lord from then on suffered PTSD from the tnt explosions.

Next Lord entered a partnership with Vinhanen in building a prison. NookCorp supplied Vin who was in charge of construction with stone and other materials in order for him to build the prison. Lord planned on implementing a labour system for prisoners in the future for him to make money out of it.

Around this time Neptune adopted a zombified piglin baby named Finn and after Lord looked after him for an afternoon, he became Finn's godfather. He then created a bedroom in his estate for Finn where Finn lives.

Lord then found that his half raccoon counterpart was worse than he thought. Following this he constructed a laboratory to do more research on his condition. Following rigorous tests on Kitsui, Ekk, Icy and Snowdrop, Lord concluded that his condition and others condition was the Animalia Virus, which slowly takes over your body with the animal until your body can't handle it and you die. He failed to create a cure however he did create a halting potion that stops the effects from worsening, but does not cure it.

Lord's next venture was an offworld escape with the NookCorp Space Program. With a successful launch it quickly went down hill as the rocket exploded in a system malfunction instantly killing Lord. This was a canonical death.

Following his untimely death he left; Neptune Max Nook's Goods and Wares, Ekk NookCorp Industries, Snowdrop his pets Caeser, Cleopatra and Albert and Kitsui 10% of future NookCorp profits.

### **Return of Lord Max**

2 weeks passed with Lord being gone, and the server moved on in his absence, until one day he reappeared. With no knowledge of who or where he arrived at the gates of Frostenwald destitute, in rags with no items and met Snowdrop. He then asked Ekk for a place to stay. Ekk reluctantly offered Lord a room and Lord told him what he recalled.

Lord told Ekk that he had been wandering the desert for an indeterminate amount of time before he reached a gilded gate. When he reached the gate he was met by a tall, fair haired man. The man told Lord “Now is not your time. Go to Frostenwald” and then he appeared in the woods east of Bankruptia. He uttered that all that he remembered from before the desert was his body being ripped into a thousand pieces and pain of a million lifetimes.

Lord did not remember anyone he used to call friends, nor who this Max Nook was.

He soon got to work on his new base, a steam punk factory home, significantly bigger than that of his previous residences.

Following major construction in New New York, land part of New America but within the Bankruptia Region, Lord Max saw the opportunity to undermine Mercury’s enchanted book prices and tank their apparent value so he started his own book store and sold the books at a significantly cheaper price. This eventually became a trade war in which Lord and Mercury would back and forth buy each other’s book and sell them, each finding ways to undermine each others stores. Following Lord lowering the price of mending books, an extremely pricey but valuable commodity in the game to half a diamond, Lord closed his store due to the lack of profitability of the war.

Whilst the trade war was going on, Lord organised the first Bonk SMP Gala in the New New York Convention Centre. Preparation for this took a week with buying food, preparing drinks, decorating the space and planning his announcements.

The night of the Gala came along and it was a massive success. His two major announcements were his call to claim his land as Tinkertown, a municipality south of Bankruptia, and the CBU.

The Central Bonk Union was a concept pitched by Lord Max at the Gala. The idea was to form a council with the Bankruptia Region’s four leaders or major land holders; Lord Max of Tinkertown, Kutaro of Bankruptia, Ekk of Frostenwald and Mercury of New America. This council would then plan and facilitate the servers necessary events or public works whilst also allowing the regions leaders to govern themselves, without a overarching government.

After forming Tinkertown, three new residents moved into the area; Icy, Pween and Fyre. This made Tinkertown the most populated area on the server.

The started Lord Max’s new obsession, electricity. Quickly he constructed 2 Tesla Coils, one on his base and one next to his base. However this obsession was quickly sidelined when he discovered the Apple of Midas. As soon as he took possession of it he became money obsessed, even more than Max Nook. He was overtaken by the need to make diamonds and emeralds. He industrialised his farms that were previously derelict and started plans on a new shopping district in Tinkertown.
