Name: Max Strider
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 15
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Personality: [ Alignment: Neutral Good ]
[ The Seeker ]
Max is curious by nature. He had always found interest in new things. There was always something to learn. But above all, it was his love of the world that brought him to travel as a Brawler rather than a tourist. If one were to see Max walking down the street, they would see a light in his eyes. One that said, he was searching for something. Something far off, and difficult to find. To be truthful, Max is looking for the adventure of a lifetime. For a story to tell. Most importantly, he wants to have fun while doing it.
But deep down, behind his adventurer persona, Max, simply wants to be the Hero. He hides this dream behind an unbiased wish to see the world and all it has to bring through Bakugan, hoping that with all that experience, he’d earn the right to be just as strong, and just as brave, as the Heroes known today in the world of Bakugan. Opting to fight only when necessary, Max could be considered some form of Pacifist, but sometimes he wishes he could flaunt a little more, to really show the world what he could really do.
Positive Traits: Free Spirited, Versatile
Negative Traits: At times, detached, distant, cold. He can lose confidence in himself, despite the fact that he has overcome a great many odds.
Likes: Traveling, Challenges, Surprises, Adventure, Discovery
Dislikes: Obstacles, Attachment, Authority, Conformity, Remaining in one place for too long.
Strengths: Max isn’t driven by creeds, or by alignments necessarily. He wants to the right thing. This rather balanced trait gives him what is called an Indomitable Will. He may be out for himself, but above all, he is a free spirit, making him very hard to manipulate.
Weaknesses: Max has a hard time making relationships. Friendships or otherwise. He is always on the move, and sometimes will leave people behind, not because he doesn’t want to be with them, but because he doesn’t want to stay in one place for too long. As much as he is a Seeker, always looking, he is also a Wanderer. To Max, many things are a Game, or Obstacles to climb over and continue on his quest for some Ultimate Goal. This can detach him from sensitive situations at times and he could be considered a little callous.
Physical Appearance: Max is of an average height and weight, more on the slender side of things, but nonetheless well built from long travels in many different locations. His hair is that of of pale purple, and his clothes rather casual under a dark beige jacket that shows its age.
Character Story: To many, Bakugan was a fun, challenging game that forged friendships and tested rivalries. It brought people together. But for Max Strider, the game of Gate Cards and Attributes was a survival tactic. For the unfortunate in slums across many cities, the game was transformed into a Dark Age. Illegal gambling revolved around victories and losses, people's hobby were turned into gladiator matches, others' lost their livelihoods to bidding and overspending. The city took itself on a wild joyride and didn't know when to get off. The smart ones remained rich and got richer, whilst the cutthroats ruled the streets. Max learned quick, his sole reason to find a way to escape the space he was enclosed in. His family was strapped for cash, that being only his father. The two vowed that one day, whether they were together or not, they would escape. The bakugan they shared were on the common markets, but in places like these, everything had a price, and it wasn't necessarily cheap. Eventually, Max resorted to playing in these street matches, he started gaining attention. Before he knew it, he stood adjacent to one of the best street Brawlers in the city, the one who's name everyone knew. But that name meant nothing now, because Max wiped the floor with him, with a Fourtress, no less. The prize money was his ticket out, their ticket out.
But the victory was bittersweet. As a way to send a message, they had taken his father, with no trace left behind. But Max and his father had a vow. And he planned to keep it. The sun rose on an empty, rundown apartment, and cast the shadow of a fatherless son, as he walked, far away from the place he had no choice but to call home.
