Joy Baby

## Origin Story

Maximus Rossi-Santana was born on December 13, 1991, to an affluent family of Italian descent in either America or Argentina. His father, Enzo Santana, was an Italian-American who had served in several Middle Eastern wars and was a successful businessman, while his mother, Maria Rossi, was an Italian-Argentinian and a dedicated homemaker. Maria had always wanted a big family and found great pleasure in raising her four children: Maximus, his younger brother Diego, and his two younger sisters, Margherita and Wyntera.

Maximus had a hard time connecting with his father from a young age. Despite Maria's warmth and love, she struggled to understand his unique perspective on the world. He was diagnosed with autism while young, and although Maria did her best to support him, his father tried to force him to act "normal," making communication between them difficult. After a few semesters in college, Maximus dropped out, which his father labeled as a failure. He found it challenging to focus on his studies and didn't feel like he fit in with other students. Tragically, Maria died giving birth to Maximus's youngest brother, who was stillborn. Maria's death was difficult for Maximus, as well as his father, but especially for Maximus since he couldn't understand her the way his siblings could. His father rejected him due to Maximus for born having Autism, which led to abuse and misunderstanding of his condition. After dropping out of school, Maximus struggled to find his place in the world.

He delved into books on Machiavellianism, which his father introduced to him, believing that humanity is nothing but dead skulls. This idea was especially prevalent due to Maria's death and the stillborn younger son. Unfortunately, Maximus has been learning dangerous ideas of Machiavellianism from his father. Maximus sought to find meaning in life by studying philosophy and literature, specifically exploring the human condition. He found solace in existentialism and nihilism, which made him feel that life was ultimately meaningless. However, his pursuit of purpose led him astray. He joined a group of nihilistic extremists who rejected all societal norms and values, believing that true freedom could only be achieved by doing so. The group plotted to carry out a series of violent attacks, with the aim of starting a revolution that would establish a new world order. Maximus's descent into radicalism accelerated after his father was ambushed while traveling in Spain and killed by members of the murderous gang "Joy Maries."

Maximus was consumed by a deep sense of anger and grief after the death of his father at the hands of the Joy Maries. He became obsessed with avenging his father's death and finding a way to make the world pay for the pain he had suffered. In his search for the Joy Maries, Maximus found himself drawn to their nihilistic worldview, which rejected all societal norms and values. He saw in the gang a kind of freedom that he had never experienced before, and he was captivated by their violent tactics. Maximus quickly rose through the ranks of the Joy Maries, becoming one of their most feared and respected members. He was a natural leader, with a strategic mind and a fierce determination to achieve his goals. He reveled in the violence and chaos that surrounded him, finding a sense of purpose in the gang's nihilistic worldview. As Maximus became more deeply involved in the Joy Maries' world, he became increasingly ruthless and violent. He saw the world as a dark and meaningless place, where the only way to find meaning was through destruction and chaos. He took pleasure in the suffering of others, and he was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
