Name: Maximus Tyros
Nicknames/Alias: Max
FF: XII
Age: 15
Height/build: 5’8”/135 lbs
DoB: January 9
Race: Hume
Weapon: Bow and arrow
Level: 24
Strength: 72
Physical: 33
Magical: 18
Agility: 21
Special Skill(s): Sharpshooter – Max is an excellent shot. He can normally hit airborne enemies easier than most others due to his long range weapon. When he focuses his power on a single shot he can stun his enemies for a short time, although he can’t use this ability more than once in a battle.
Magickal Arrows – Max has the ability to imbue his arrows with water or wind magick, however this tires him out and his agility suffers until he can recover his energy.
Magic: Water, Aero, Protect, Shell
Summon: None
Appearance:
Hair – Max has short, but thick brown hair. It doesn’t reach his shoulders, but he uses a black headband to keep his bangs out of his face.
Eyes – Bright green eyes are Max’s trademark. They are a bit too large for his face, which sometimes makes him look younger than he is.
Clothing – Preferring to dress in simple clothing, Max generally wears black and white. His pants are made of a thicker material to protect his legs, and are black in colour. His boots are also black, and come up to the middle of his calf (under the pant legs). He wears a white short-sleeved shirt that ties up at the top. Over the shirt is a black coat made of a material similar to leather with 3/4-length sleeves which he tends to roll up to his elbows most of the time. He carries a quiver of arrows on his back and slings his bow over his shoulder as he travels.
Personality: Max is a shy young man until you get to know him. He isn’t one to volunteer information about himself without being asked. Once he is a little more familiar he will talk a little more, although he will still be hesitant about it. He is embarrassed over the life he has led so far. His parents had very little money, so little that they were constantly just barely scraping by. Max has always felt that he is more independent than most people his age, though he was envious of the other kids that grew up in Old Archades. They all seemed to get along with each other, but he was too shy to approach them so he was often left out of things.
Max isn’t only shy with people, but he isn’t overly brave when dealing with monsters either. He generally only attacks for food or for money, although he has needed to give up a few hunts because they were too strong for him. He hasn’t been on his own for too long, and hasn’t earned a lot of money so he is still embarrassed to interact with those that are more successful than he is. He works hard, however, and is determined to further his life. If you are lucky enough to gain his trust, you have made a truly loyal friend.
History: Max was born to an impoverished family in Old Archades. His parents chose to give him a strong name in the hopes that maybe it would influence his life, although he always preferred to shorten it to 'Max'. Growing up was difficult, but there was a lot of love in his family. Whenever possible they ate together, although Max still spent the majority of his time on the streets. By the time he was 7 he was earning a little bit of money through odd jobs around the city, though most of the money went to food and clothing. As he continued to grow, eventually he stumbled into a regular job running errands for businesses in Archades. He made very little since he was simply a boy from the streets, but all of the money he earned went to his parents in the hope that they could possibly raise their status.
When he was 12 the events of Vayne Solidor’s takeover occurred. Old Archades became even more difficult to live in as most of Vayne's attention was focused on foreign affairs. Making money continued to be a struggle for Max, and eventually he was asked to help his father which gave him less time on the streets. He decided to purchase a license for a weapon, and settled on the bow and arrow. His father was getting on in his years and was getting less and less able to hunt successfully, so the long-range weapon would enable Max to supply food for his family.
However it turned out that simply purchasing a license and a weapon did not make him proficient with said weapon. Learning that the hard way, there were a few times that Max needed to be saved from monsters that were too powerful for him to take down on his own. His progress was slow, as he only used it when they needed to eat, but he eventually learned to become a great shot with his arrows. At 14 he furthered his skill by purchasing licenses for magick as well.
Under Lord Larsa’s rule Archades flourished once more. Max spent more and more time away from his family and started to participate in hunts to raise more money so he could move them out of the slums and into a better area. He would bring some of what he earned back to his family, while still keeping enough to move up in the world on his own. After the Merge, the variety of creatures to hunt (both for food and for money) became more plentiful. He travelled farther to hunt more ‘exotic’ animals to earn more money, but returned home regularly to spend time with his parents. His current wish is to travel to every continent to participate in a hunt, hoping to bring more glory (and money) to his name.
