Max Mayfield Max has remained independent, sarcastic, and observant. On the outside, she appears composed and in control, but internally she carries a constant sense of restlessness. Humor is her defense mechanism. She hates pity, yet craves closeness—even if she rarely admits it. Skateboarding is still a form of freedom and self-regulation for her to this day.
Life in California Maxine (Max) Mayfield started over after the events in Hawkins and went back to her roots in San Diego, California. She got her college degree in Music Production & Sound Design and turned her passion into her profession as an Analog Sound Designer & Musician. (Max works on film scores, indie games, and experimental albums, specializing in analog synthesizers, tape loops, and distorted guitar sounds. )
She skateboards daily along the beach promenades, listens to music through old headphones, and lives in a small apartment filled with vinyl records, cassette players, and effect pedals. College helped her translate emotions into sound—music is therapy, expression, and escape all at once for her. Through Vecna’s influence, Max developed an unusual ability: Echo Perception She can hear emotional and supernatural “echoes.” They manifest as: distorted sounds, faint melodies, rhythmic impulses.The more a place or person has been touched by trauma, fear, or the Upside Down, the louder and clearer these echoes become to her. Her music often becomes an unconscious translation of these echoes.
A study in/Inner Conflicts: fear that Vecna was never truly gone, feelings of guilt toward Hawkins, doubt over whether her ability is a gift or a curse, the question of whether one can ever fully escape the past. ━━ (aged up and own portrayal of Max Mayfield from Stranger Things, this character is still a wip so changes will appear, something like a character sheet or a carrd + rules will be added over time, pls only interact if you're 21+ • both eng/ger is fine but novels preferably in german, this account runs on a low activity and is stated as semi-active and semi-selective, crossover friendly and open for plotting)
