## History

### Youth

Maximus grew up in Okern, Oklahoma. When he was still a child, his parents died and he was raised in by a boarding school. At St. Nicholas Training School, he became friends with Mabel, Bucky, Irene, and Brownie. As school got out for the summer of Maximus's junior year, he and his friends decided to do acid. Maximus was supposed to get them some, but when he was unable to, Brownie said he'd go to Fixico, Maximus's cousin, to get some. Maximus didn't want him to, as he hated Fixico, but was unable to stop him. They took the acid and rode out the high at a party. As they were coming down, Brownie asked Maximus to drive them home. As they were driving, Maximus started to struggle to stay awake as the others fell asleep. He stopped suddenly when he saw a bright light. He got out and saw an alien claiming to be his relative. The others woke up and he told them what he'd seen, but they told him it was just the drugs.

### Adulthood

As an adult, he had continued mental health problems, including hallucinations. At some point, he left the place where he was living and went back to a home once owned by his mother. He began to use the radio there to attempt to contact Star People and tended to plants that he believed the Star People had left there so they'd have food when they returned.

One day, he saw Bear walking through the desert seemingly talking to himself. He blew a dart at Bear's neck, knocking him out, then took Bear back to his home, where he tied Bear up and blindfolded him. When Bear woke up, Maximus gave him water and showed him around the property. He showed Bear videos of himself when he was young, along with people Bear recognized from back home.

That night, Maximus and Bear looked up at the sky and Maximus taught him indigenous names for star groups. Then Maximus made them dinner and he told Bear about his life and offered to let Bear stay for as long as he wanted.

The next morning, cops came to take Maximus back to the place where he was staying, but Maximus saw them as people in gray outfits. Maximus quickly put things in a bag that he gave to Bear. Bear told Maximus that he believed him. Maximus thanked him, then walked outside with some eggplants and let the cops put him in a car to take him away.

### Making Up with Fixico

Maximus was in the psychiatric hospital in Tulsa when Bear and Willie Jack entered his room and told them they were breaking him out. He told them there was no need to break him out as he was free to leave whenever he wanted, but staying was better. He would occasionally go off his meds and leave, but they'd bring him back and get him stabilized. They told him his cousin, Old Man Fixico, was dying and they wanted to give him a chance to make up with him before he died. Maximus said he wouldn't go until Willie Jack said she was sorry for what happened when they were young, but it left them all incapable of admitting to their feelings. He agreed to go with them and played along when they wanted to maintain the front that they'd broken him out of the hospital. Back at the reservation, Maximus sat by his cousin's bedside and held his hand.

Shortly afterward, Fixico died and Maximus stayed in town as they prepared for his funeral. He spent the time catching up with his old friends.

## Relationships
