Covaire City Memorial Gala × Greek statue

Maximus had no problem admitting he’d only gone to the Gala for Ewan. He didn’t want to look like he’d made no efforts for his costume, but didn’t feel like making actual efforts for it (and there was no way in hell he would go with a matching outfit to Ewan’s either!). He got the idea while watching reruns of Doctor Who (Flesh and Stone episode) after seeing the Weeping Angels moving. And that was how he became a Greek statue for the Gala.

UNIverse event × Maximus is a cook with questionable morals

Meet Maximus, 30 years old Line Cook at Covaire University’s cafeteria (his speciality is fish and just Mediterranean food in general), who went through culinary school, but got bored of big fancy restaurants quickly and ended up at Covaire University after a series of events that he can’t really remember. By day he’s a simple cook, and by night, you can try catching him in dark corners being morally ambiguous when he feels like it. Though, he mostly prefers to spend time with his cat Raki back at his apartment in Covaire Hall. He’s been working on campus for almost five years now.

A × WHY IS IT IMPORTANT OR NOT, FOR YOUR CHARACTER TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES THROUGH CLOTHES, AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT THEIR PERCEPTION OF OTHERS? Maximus doesn’t care at all about how people look, but he’s aware that since he doesn’t care it reflects on how he looks (which is a regular civilian). He’ll wear used clothes as long as it fits. But he also won’t judge people based on their appearances.

B × DESCRIBE THE OUTFIT. The beta usually wear (cashmere) sweaters or t-shirts (long or short sleeves). He prefers them to be white, cream or beige. He’ll wear boots and jeans. The only thing that he’ll always carry on him is something to know the time (watch and phone).

C × WHY DO THEY LIKE IT AND FOR WHAT OCCASION WOULD THEY WEAR IT? It’s for any occasion and he’s just comfortable in it. Maximus doesn’t like making things difficult for himself when he already has to deal with his blackouts.

Maximus' bad blood × SOLO

Maximus had been spending the day with Martie when the hunters had attacked. Saying he was surprised to not have a blackout would've been a big understatement. What the better hadn't known, was that withhe temporary implant in his ear (that he couldn't see nor feel), the Alpha could wake him up at any time, but since he was already downtown... there was no reason to do it. He would fight, his loyalty to the city was too great to ignore what was happening. Of course while not awakened, his priority was the omega with him. He'd called Ewan to make sure the Scottish man was okay and to tell him not to do anything crazy.

Eventually, getting out of harm with the woman running at his side had been hard, so Max had made her climb on his back. He'd saved a few people along the way, without realizing that when he fought off hunters or helped someone else, he'd often awakened for a couple minutes (just for the time his hidden skills were needed). There wasn't much difference to spot since he didn't have much time to talk (which was usually the big give away when he was like that). So at first, they went to Martie's apartment because it was the closest after he'd gotten shot in the leg.

The omega had been so brave, using the tweezer of her first aid kit to remove the bullet laced with vervain and wolfsbane (which had been why he wasn't able to heal). She'd cleaned it up and it had healed almost right away. There was too much activity happening outside so they had stayed inside for a while. Obviously, he-d continued to check with Ewan to make sure the omega was still safe. They had eventually been able to go out to escape the next night on the 9th. Once again, the beta couldn't explain how he knew some hunters had magic, but mostly how to make the difference between regular ones, and the powered up ones.

But avoiding them had proven to be complicated, though not impossible for someone his age. All they needed was a distraction and they would be easy to kill, they were still humans after all. The whole time, he'd made sure Martie wasn't hurt. They made it to the middle of the West Side while it was still dark in the early morning on the 10th. Things had seemed calmer, but he felt it that something was wrong and told Martie to really hold on to him tight. Seconds later, they'd both seen things that looked like cracks of light appearing all over (some in the middle of the air, others on the pavement or a wall). And then chaos followed.

When the street cracked and a monster came out (like it'd been stuck underneath), Maximus knew why everyone had suddenly been screaming.

"Do not let go." He'd ordered the omega on his back then attacked the demon before it had time to fully get out of the whole it was stuck in. Now awakened, Maximus knew he'd never faced anything like that, never that big, nor strong, but he was still able to kill it. But they were coming out of everywhere and he knew fighting them all would be impossible. His mission was to save as many people as he could without getting killed himself.

He backed into an alleyway to avoid one of the creature that seem to be controlling fire. He felt Martie's fear, but she kept holding on to him strongly. The assassin went to sleep again since he wasn't needed while no combat occured. Though, when Maximus turned his head to check if the omega was ready for his next run and to reassure her, she wasn't there, it was like she had disappeared out of thin air. The beta panicked and his panic, didn't see the tiny crack buried underneath garbage bags. He couldn't call out to her, fearing that he'd bring too much attention to himself.

But then another demon appeared, making the assassin awaken again, and this time, without Martie to make him come back, Maximus wasn't going to come back until this was over.

001 × BLACKOUTS Maximus needs (more than he wants) to know what he does during his blackouts. So far, he’s learned that he can still protect people he cares about, but something still feels wrong. Even though he’s seeking the truth, he’s terrified of it too. He doesn’t want to learn that he has a whole other life that he can’t control. He has no idea how much his fears are justified.

002 × TRAVEL The beta has never travelled out of Covaire. First of all, he doesn’t like to be in public (mostly surrounded by a big crowd), but he’s mostly scared that he’ll do something bad during a blackout. But if one day it’s finally safe for him to travel, he’d like to see (at least) Greece once.

003 × LOVE Max isn’t scared of getting his heart broken a million times, because he loves to be in love. It’s why is poly too, because he can be in love for many different reasons. Of course, he was in love with the two slaves that lived with him (Celio and Ashia), but it’s been a while. So this is more of a wish he wants to keep happening over and over again... to fall in love.

Bad NeighbourZ event × Maximus is Goldilocks 

Meet Maximus (he prefers Maxi), he's your stereotypical dumb blond curly haired Insta model who needs constant saving, but possesses the kind of survival luck anyone in Cape Covaire would kill for!

Enters Ewan (goes by McConnell), kickass zombie hunter who's really good at what he does and has a bit of a 90's hero complex. Match made in heaven? I think yes!

Bad NeighbourZ event × Maximus is Cockneys vs Zombies

Meet Erebus and Maximus, two brothers that grew old together due to stubbornness (Erebus) and garden obsession (Maximus). They spend their days on their front porch with their loyal corgi Hamish the 2nd (because Maximus is convinced he had a cat already named Hamish in another life) eating peppermint candies and commenting on the lives of others. At night, they go inside, playing checker and shooting at zombies coming too close to their garden gnomes.
