### Player

Maggie

Max is a PC featured in The Emptiness Campaign. She is a travelling artist dedicated to her patron The Muse.

As a PC, she is played by Maggie.

## Background

Max was born and raised in the small farming community Downham by two artisans Vincent and Sable Milestone. Her family was connected to a patron, The Muse, a being that granted them with inspiration. All her childhood she spent making art and had a positive relationship with her parents.

Before the emptiness came, she stopped hearing so much from The Muse, so she went to search for more inspiration. This led her to join the Cirque du Sourire as a caracature artist. With the troupe, she saw much more of the world, and became good buddies with Dester.

Max eventually left the Cirque du Sourire to focus more on rekindling her relationship with The Muse.

## Personality

Max is an optimistic yet headstrong person. She cares very deeply for both her biological and found family, often making them gifts. She is marked greatly by her love and passion for creating art, especially painting. Even in the midst of the emptiness, Max made sure that she was spreading cheer and optimism wherever she went, especially via her art.

Despite her optimism, Max is known to be stubborn and unyielding in her approaches. She also has the tendency to be a little naiive and not pick up on cues, such as when she misinterpreted Octavia's romantic advancements as a desire to be "good buddies".

## Appearance

Max is a young human woman with light skin with many freckles on her face and arms, brown wavy hair, and brown eyes. She has a muscular body type from working in a farming community for most of her life.

In the main campaign, Max wore her hair pulled back into a messy bun with a yellow headband. She wore green overalls, a yellow tanktop, and brown lace-up boots.

In the Longest Night oneshot, Max wears her wavy hair down, often pulled back with a bandana.

## Relationships

### Octavia

Octavia and Max were initially polar opposites that seemed to repel each other, as they both had some form of deity with them that may clash. Over time, though, the two became closer and learned a lot about each other. They also learned of their attraction to one another, but they were both horrendously awkward. This led to many moments that made the both of them think that the other was not interested in them, and seemed to kill any chances the other had. As the saying goes, love found a way and they were married soon after the end of The Emptiness Campaign and adopted two children together.

In the present, the two parent their children, Atlas and Sable. Though they love each child equally, many people often say that Sable is Max's child and Atlas is Octavia's child because of the similarities in their demeanors.

### Dester

Dester and Max grew very close during the time they spend while they were both in the Cirque du Sourire. During this time, Dester developed unrequited romantic feelings towards Max. Max, however simply saw Dester as the younger brother she never had. After a few years of traveling together, Max left the Cirque du Sourire, leading Dester to believe he was never going to see her again. He deeply resented her for leaving him.

When Max reentered Dester's life, he held in the hurt that she had caused him and they resumed their relationship. Dester still had unrequited feelings for her, but knew that nothing could ever come of it, especially after Max and Octavia started their relationship.

Max often teased Dester, and the two pulled pranks on each other quite often.

Before Dester died, he admitted his feelings to Max. Upon his resurrection, Max told him that she didn't feel the same way, but she was extremely happy to have such an amazing friend and little brother. Dester agreed.

### The Muse

The Muse loves Max as much as she loves any of her other followers, but particularly appreciates Max's dedication to making a difference with her art.

Max used to be upset that The Muse didn't speak to her directly often, but realized that she spoke to her in different ways.

### Vincent

Max is very close to her father. Despite Max being gone for so long, Vincent forgave her and welcome her back to Downham with no problems.
