About
Max woke up one day in a decorative pond, unsure who he was or how he ended up there. The fairy of the garden took quick interest in him, taking him into her metaphorical collection.
Max is soft spoken and very composed. He enjoys a lot of control of his temperament and his circumstance. He always quietly observes and changing what he needs to in order to remain in a very “clear” state of being. He gets very stressed in unfamiliar places or situations but it would take someone very close to notice any break in his composure.
His main duty has always been to protect his family. Around a decade ago, his wife was killed protecting their home while Max was away on a rare errand. He was racked with guilt and grief for a long time, only truly getting back his old composure in recent years after he left the now rundown shrine that they used to live in.
Most of the time Max remains rather plain but has began looking outside of his only prior purpose in life. He can be somewhat of a light menace, especially in astrean form. He can pick out someone’s weakness and remembers information to manipulate them subtly in order to get what he wants from them. He becomes a lot more impulsive while underwater. He easily strayed off course by underwater treasures; far more curious and much more likely to put himself over others. It’s rare for him to go underwater, as he views it as somewhat against his training to indulge. He could never quite manage malice though.
Max has a great sense of duty. He puts himself second to those he loves, considering himself in great debt to the people that are there for him.
Trivia
He shifts into his astrean form when exposed to water. Transformation fades in like a rainbow
The spectal that follows him is a gift from his late wife. She follows him around and assists him in an arcane enchantment that he uses with martial arts. His magic is very weak otherwise.
He does not like being the dead wife guy.
- He is for the most part a demon. He was once a demonic sort of fish who Myrtle accidentally gave a humanoid form. He was never told exactly how he came to be and has never really been curious enough to find out.
- He is not a fan of bugs. Particularly spiders.
- He has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.. its that scottish in him.

Myrtle [Ex wife (she died)]
For most of his life he has done almost anything for her. Her death really shattered him. Even worse, he began to question if he really knew her at all... Its complicated.
Vio [daughter(adopted)]
While Myrtle was always closer to her, Max loves his daughter dearly. He isnt the most affectionate of course but will always look out for her.
Ashe [friend/penpal]
Initially Max was hesitant of the weird bugman. Ashe slowly became one of Max's closest confidants through letters.
Wick [friend]
Getting to know Ashe also means getting to know Wick. Max could never match the energy of the kitbull, but they do share similar ideas.
