Profile

By the time Max's magical ability was discovered, he'd ran away from home. He remained a street rat on his own, showing up for magical training, then earning his stole, then starting to hire out as security for items that need to be transported or personal bodyguard, in particular in situations that require a full wizard's participation. His pick are high-risk jobs, and he does exremely well in keeping both himself and the assignments reasonably safe.

After several highly commendable one-off jobs for Stephen LaMarck (delamarck) he's offered permanent employment at the company the latter's recently headed; ending at the position of Head of Security. With time, the unexpectedly-functional working relationship moves into cautious friendship. And occasional invitations to Stephen and his wife's bed, which in turn end up strengthening the bond between them into trust and a solid friendship.

Max also meets Claudia Gates-Jones (drgatesjones), with whom they end up developing a relationship emphatically more than just physical. Within months of each, admissions are made for mutual affection with Dia and with Stephen. It was a very emotional time for Buttercup. Max and Dia marry, he continues to work, trusted, under Stephen, and the relationship between the two couples could be called complicated if it wasn't as open and based on communication, all around.



Max is a relatively large, well-muscled man with an apparently friendly disposition, tendency to talk too much and let out many wisecracks, with only moderate amount of relevance between them and the situation at times. However, he is highly skilled at his work, and once he gives his loyalty, he will not betray it.

He's also basically bisexual, enjoys romps (on the other hand, that stays AWAY from his work) and it shows. He's flirtatious and open. On the other hand, he leaves no illusions about intending to commit - until he does, and then the flirts remain absolutely harmless unless there's prior arrangement with either of the two people he loves.

There isn't much I haven't shared
With you along the road
And through it all there'd always be
Tomorrow's episode
Suddenly that isn't true
There's another avenue
Beckoning, the great divide
Ask no questions, take no side
Who's to say who's right or wrong
Whose course is braver run
Will ever be, ask one

What is done has been done for the best
Though the mist in my eyes might suggest
Just a little confusion about what I'll lose
But if I started over I know I would choose
The same joy the same sadness each step of the way
That fought me and tought me that friends never say
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye

Suddenly that isn't true
There's another avenue
Beckoning, the great divide
I would choose
The same joy the same sadness each step of the way
That fought me and taught me that friends never say
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
