He has so much going on and I'm so sorry about that.

## Profile

### Appearance

Max is a lean and below average height (5'6") man of Hispanic origin. He is naturally blonde ("dirty blonde" to be exact), though it is currently dyed bright red, and a mess of medium-length curls that still manages to look stylized. He has hazel eyes, but due to his possession, without contacts and glasses with magic from Yage, his eyes are near entirely white. His attractiveness (he's so goddamn pretty) is something of high note, having previously modeled before. There are prominent freckles across his nose and cheeks.

He dresses in mostly sweaters of soft colors and dark dress pants. Nearly everything he wears costs more than what a teacher makes a year, he's a Brand Bitch. He also looks *extremely* good in dresses and skirts, but who's checking, honestly.

### Personality

Maxwell is an extremely kind and gentle man, friendly to everyone he meets from the start. He is often asking others how he can help them or if there's anything they want and/or need. He goes out of his way to become close and personable to people, hoping to remain in good relations to everyone. He's quick to adapt to the needs of others, and can easily switch from a passive to an assertive role if the situation demands it.

He's a diplomat at heart, preferring to talk to opposing figures and understand their viewpoint before making any solid conclusions. Unfortunately, he often over-compromises, losing his own agency in the hopes of appealing to others.

While he is admittedly very unaware and unintelligent in many areas, he is always willing to learn about anything, whether it be from his own curiosity or from someone else's interest in the subject.

He is gullible and forgiving to many people, ignoring many major flaws within a person if he believes they can be good. And if he does believe someone can be good and has what it takes to overcome hangups, he is always willing to lend a helping hand in the process.

Max is a romantic at heart, quick to fall for anyone that gives him any kind of attention. However, because of previous relationships, he often puts himself into a role of servitude over equal standing with romantic partners.

## History

### Pre-Adoption

Born Maxwell Munoz, Max had bounced from the women and children's homeless shelter and the shelter his father had lived in. He spent most of his time either in the pubic library learning to read, or with his other homeless friends running around town. It was then that he gained his love for music, and was well-known as a cheerful soprano singer.

He had been seeing shades in his early teen years, and eventually encountered Lady Justice and formed a partnership with her.

He also met Bathilda Phillips soon after, and the two became fast friends.

### Post-Adoption

He was adopted by the Phillips family while his mother and father were put into special care to get them into a better shelter, and his name was changed to Maxwell Angel.

He served as the head cheerleader of the Accreton High School Cheer Club, and was an active member in the Student Council, serving as the Secretary. Him and Babe eventually met a possessed Charles, and him and Charles dated until the end of high school.

He was the main parental figure of Caelum and Ruby while they were babies and toddlers, bringing them to class often when he was in college.

### Omen Inferno

Near his later years into college, he was invited to join Selene Vale's band Omen Inferno as the lead singer. He accepted, and his songwriting and funding from Thaddeus allowed for the band to quickly run through the ranks of popularity.

He also modeled during that time, working alongside Clifton O'Donoghue for that and for Clifton's film works, writing many of the original soundtracks for his early works. He was also publicly dating Kiran Crane, another member of the band.

It is unknown why he quit eight years ago, but he refused to speak with any press on the matter. The other band members continue to praise Max for his skills, and are open about their wish for him to return, even after years of his absence.

### Post-Omen Inferno

He spent two years completely off-grid, and it is rumored that he was in rehab during the time. It has not been confirmed whether that be the case or not.

### Aprilside

He moved to Aprilside six years ago, immediately taking the role of history and music teacher at the middle school. He also became the Head of the Spirits Sector of The Guard, and has remained in that position since.

## Abilities

### Spectral Training

Maxwell has been trained by a multitude of skilled spectrals, and his willingness to work with multiple tools has given him a wide variety of skills. He is not a combative person, but in the face of danger he opts for finesse weapons, working better in close combat than long range. He is more dexterous than strong, and he is particularly skilled in parrying moves from a defensive position.

### Lady Justice

His long running partnership with Lady Justice has given him two particular abilities as a medium -- not including Spirit Fusion -- and the skill to fight near entirely blind, of which he heavily focuses on the sounds around him.

**The Judgement Process** is how he can dole out commands to spirits, though it requires him to verbally give the command with an extreme amount of concentration.

**The Scales of Justice** are chains that originate from his back and extend along his limbs to be able to grab things from far range.

His **Spirit Fusion** has not been seen in game, but it has been coined as his **Guilty Form**.

### Sword Infivite

Sword Infivite is the sword tool that was in a duo alongside Lady Justice, and Max has since been trained to use their main ability, known as **Billion Blades**. The ability uses the trails of light the come from the sword when swung in various directions and solidifies them, effectively creating more blades to attack a foe with.

### Witty No.1

Witty No.1 is the first of eight Witty spirits that are connected to Chris Carlisle's Gl1tch spirit. It resides in Maxwell's phone, but through the internet it can connect to various parts of his house and laptop.

### Conductor

The Conductor resides in Maxwell's favorite acoustic guitar, and has the ability to solidify sound waves that come from the instrument, and can be used to move nearby objects if the waves are pushing against it. Maxwell has a strong enough bond with the spirit that he does not need to touch the spirit, only needing to be within 10 feet and motioning his playing to pluck the instrument's strings.

### Starlight Magic

A magic of which Max is the Basin for, Starlight Magic collects and transfers light from various sources. The extent of this magic can be used to even collect the light from dead stars in the sky, but Maxwell must collect enough light to be able to replace it during the transfer. With the star's light specifically, he is able to use the abilities of the legends in the constellations the star was a part of, such as forming a light version of Orion with the three main stars that make of the constellation for his belt.

### Dream Magic

A magic that he is fluent in, Dream Magic comes from the Mad Hatter. Maxwell is able to put himself into a state of lucid dreaming whenever he is asleep and control the dream from the inside. However, because he is frequently haunted by nightmares, he fails to have the focus to control the magic once he is inside the nightmare.

## Relationships

### The Parker-Phillips'

There is no doubt in Max's mind that each member of the Parker-Phillips Family is a member of his own family, especially since he is legally related and biologically related to certain members. Despite how connected he feels to them, there is a gap that he has put between himself and the family due to various incidents in the past, and he does not find himself worthy of being in the family. He has isolated himself from the group, though he is currently trying to reconnect himself into it.

I would tell you more, loves, but that would be :) spoilers.

### The Guardians

Max has served as the main diplomat/messenger between the Guardians and the Guard, and is the only person in contact with the eldest Guardian. While he is on generally neutral terms with most of them, he is regarded as a weakling by them all due to his passiveness and generally pathetic attempts at asking for anything from them.

### Caroline Goldstein

Max and Caroline worked together for a year, and Max was quick to take a step back and allow her to take the leadership role as co-advisers. He admires her abilities and attitude, even if he's failed to express that properly. He has also told her a few personal things about himself, though skirted around the causes of such things.

While he is truthfully curious about her background and her health, especially since the reveal of her having the Corrosion, he is not one to push on the subjects.

### Nathan Tominaga

Max did that same stupid shit he did before and totally fell head over heels for Nathan *concerningly* soon after he met the man, and the feelings have only gotten more intense as they've continued to speak. While he does not understand Nathan's experiences and perspectives, he is always offering to listen as much as the man needs someone to listen to.

He's quick to panic in any situation where he feels he has done something wrong to the man, and is constantly worried over embarrassing himself, even though that's literally the only thing he has ever done in front of Nathan. He is unused to a "relationship" where he is not in the sole role of giving, and finds himself nervous on what to do in many situations where he is with Nathan. It's a bit anxiety-inducing, and it's beginning to build up in his mind.

He greatly admires Nathan's intelligence and bluntness in many ways, finding comfort in being Told How It Is, even if sometimes he doesn't Understand How It Is.

### Oliver Nikolaevi

Max adores Oliver, point blank. He views him like he's his own son, and can't help but feel his heart fill with absolute unbridled joy every time he thinks about Oliver. He is nervous to ever disappoint the boy, and the two are often found in "what do you want" "well what do *you* want" situations because they both have Silver Gay Angel Solidarity, which has it's own free package of Anxiety included, not optional.

### The Students

He is fast to take a parental role towards every student of his, making sure to make himself as personable as he can to each student and keeping his teaching varied so he can help each child in the way they need.

### The Guard

Max leads the Spirits Sector of the organization, and is extremely friendly with each member of his Sector, going out of his way to make sure they have a small amount of work by taking the bulk of it for himself.

Him and Christopher Carlisle are best friends, and he was the one to introduce the man to the Guard.

He is admittedly quite unaware of many things happening within the Guard, only having the time and energy to focus on his Sector.

### Clifton O'Donoghue

While it is publicly known that Maxwell and Clifton worked closely in both the making of Cliff's early films, Max's brief time as a model, and in Omen Inferno's music videos, rumors of their exact relationship are still under speculation. The common theory is that the two were in romantic relations, even going as far as being engaged, but it was broken off as Max started dating Kiran Crane.

Clifton stopped working with Omen Inferno when Max had left the band, so it is inferred that Clifton was only interested in Max's part of the group. The two still interact often through social media, and Clifton has had repeated incidents where he has argued with producers because he "will only ever use Max's music in my films, I don't want anything else".

### Omen Inferno

Maxwell had suddenly left the band without a clear cause, and neither the band nor him will speak to the press about his resignation. It is unknown if he left on bad terms with the members, but Max has publicly stated that he does in fact miss the band, and the band has spoken about their regret of his departure as well, Kiran in particular.

While the two are no longer in a relationship, Kiran did imply in an interview that they do keep contact, and has openly praised any of Max's new public works on social media.
