Max

Max has a slim but muscular figure, with an imposing height that reaches 1.90 meters. His skin is riddled with visible scars, from deep cuts on his arms to irregular marks on his torso and back. His hair is jet black, unkempt, and falls messily to his shoulders. His eyes are a dull shade of gray, reflecting both hardness and a latent pain. His expression is usually serious and somber, but when he smiles, his gesture is unsettling, almost disturbing. He wears simple, worn clothing, with dark tones that match his intimidating aura.

Max is reserved and distrustful, harboring a deep anger towards the world. His abusive childhood left him emotionally fractured and with difficulty empathizing. He has a strategic and analytical mind, which allows him to coldly plan actions, such as burning down the village. However, he is also full of internal contradictions: his thirst for revenge coexists with an unconscious longing for understanding and peace. He does not trust others and is used to relying solely on himself, but there are times when his gaze seems to beg for something more.

He likes silence and solitary surroundings, especially forests, where he feels a disconnection from the pain around him. He finds fire strangely comforting, as if it represents his own liberation and strength. He despises people who judge without knowing, as well as any sign of weakness, both in himself and in others. He cannot stand false compassion or empty words.

When he is not immersed in his world of thoughts, Max enjoys observing nature, especially the night sky. He likes to carve small figures out of wood, a talent he secretly developed during his childhood as a way to mentally escape from his torments. Sometimes, he also experiments with fire, lighting small campfires and observing them in silence, as a personal ritual.

Secret Dream: Discovering What It Means to Be Loved

Max was born in Nambert, a small, isolated town where he was never welcomed. His parents, incapable of giving him love, constantly abused him. Throughout his childhood, Max grew up surrounded by physical and emotional pain, the scars on his body serving as silent evidence of the violence he suffered.

The townspeople were no better. Children shunned him, frightened by the marks on his skin and rumours about his origins. Adults, indifferent to his suffering, ignored him or treated him with contempt. Max spent his childhood alone, unable to understand the concept of love or happiness.

When he turned 18, the pent-up rage and pain led him to make a drastic decision: revenge. Max set the entire town on fire, watching the fire consume what had been his prison for so many years. During that moment, a smile appeared on his face, one he had never shown before.

"Nothing matters if you can't trust anyone."
