-Maxime Verbeck-
“When someone attacks your kingdom, you do not flee. You show them why it’s your kingdom.”
Name: Maxime Verbeck
Alias: N/A
Nickname: Max
Age: 16
Grade: 11th/Junior
Height: 4'8
Weight: 75 Ib
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Green (right) Blue (left) (Mismatched)
Appearance:
Head:
Maxime has short green hair that reaches the back of her neck. However, she has two locks that are longer than the rest, framing her face, and reaching several inches past her shoulders. Her large doll-like eyes are mismatched in color, one being blue-ish green, and the other being a sapphire blue. She has a fair complexion, somewhat delicate features, and small pink lips.
Build:
Maxime is of average height, and has very toned, sturdy, and strong look to her, her leg’s being the most muscular of her body. Overall, her skin is smooth but her back is mottled with scars. She’s done her best to get rid of them seeing as a lot of the outfits she wears when she performs show her back, but they haven’t completely faded yet.
Piercing’s and Tattoos/Markings:
Maxime has her ear’s pierced, but that’s as far as piercings go with her. On her right shoulder is a brand burned into her skin (though it’s mostly faded), and on her left leg is a tattoo of a dragon coiled her ankle.
Clothing Style:
A key clothing item of hers would probably be her goggles, she always wears a pair on her head, though the colors vary. (Sometimes they’re white rimmed with pink lenses, and other times they’re black rimmed with red or clear lenses.) She can occasionally be seen wearing a pair of red rimmed glasses, though she usually uses contacts.
Some speculate that it may have something to do with being a performer, but Maxime’s clothing choices vary, and are at times somewhat eccentric. She doesn’t have a fixed style, one day she could be decked out very tom-boyish and the next she could be wearing a skirt or a bunny eared hoodie.
Personality:
Maxime is easy going, up beat, energetic, and loves to tell jokes, even when they’re not funny. She also really enjoys pulling pranks on people (Whether they’re people she like so dislike.) You could say she’s the joker, the class clown. Most people Maxime comes across, she likes, and she’s fairly good at figuring people out after talking with them long enough. She’s very honest, caring, and doesn’t think before acting, usually doing things completely on impulse.
Some have said Max has a look in her eyes that makes her look like she has taken much more caffeine than the normal limit, this could be linked to her case of ADHD. On occasion, she likes to flirt cheesily with people she finds attractive (male or female) as long as they’re not completely out of her league, but she easily becomes distracted and tends to drop it quickly. Other than this, she doesn’t show much interest in being in a relationship. Max is very intelligent and quick witted, but can be very thick and clue-less when it comes to interacting with others. She seems to brush off insults and threats with a lot of ease, even if they end up tainting other’s views of her or getting her injured. Some say she’s too stupid to care. In reality, Max is quite sensitive, she just hides it.
Max lacks the ability to suck up to people, which makes her enemies, as well as the occasional admirer. She has a difficult time answering to others, but is quite laid back in most situations, not having an immediately apparent temper. She’s just rebellious to superiors. Overall, she’s really immature.
“Do what is right, not what is easy.”
Inner Struggles:
While Max enjoys acting like a total goof ball, and has gotten used to it to the point where it’s second nature to her, it was originally a coping mechanism. Humor was a good way for her to hide, and quell the pain she felt. A good deal of the pain comes from having indirectly killing her mother. Although it was indirect, it was still her doing, and the guilt is crushing. She sees a lot of problems that come about as being her fault, and thus does whatever she can to fix them.
If anyone is in pain, needs help, is being hurt unfairly, etc, Max instinctively wants to help them. This is partially due to her having a driving sense of justice and morality, and partially because she subconsciously feels maybe she can make up for what she did to her mother by helping as many people as she possibly can. Unfortunately, Max’s drive to help others makes her easy to take advantage of, as long as the people asking for her help don’t blatantly come across as bad people.
Max may seem very happy, but deep down she feels unwanted and alone. She never vocalizes this however, and tells everyone she meets that she enjoys being single as a pringle, though seeing other people with their special someone gives her a feeling of empty-ness. Maxime will probably never admit to feeling unwanted and alone, so this won’t likely ever change.
Her biggest inner struggle is her multiple personality disorder, if you could call it that. The thing that’s different about her case is both personalities are perfectly aware of each other. Her other personality hasn’t taken over in years, although Maxime frequently talks to her in her head. Maxime’s other personality, in essence, is who she was before she had amnesia and became someone else entirely. The girl later regained her memories, and began struggling to keep her old self at bay. The past few years, she’s been very successful, though her other self’s words still reach her and hurt her deeply.
“Everyone says destroy what destroys you, right? But what if the thing destroying you is yourself?”
Likes/Habbits/Talents:
Maxime is a former singer/performer, and is a very talented, dancer, and musician, having the ability to play the guitar, piano, saxophone, and violin. She sings a lot on a regular basis, and in spite of her musical talent, the songs she chooses to sing and listen to are questionable and sometimes just terrible quality, or flat out stupid.
Maxime loves food, and has very high metabolism. Because of this, she can eat a lot, and still maintain a slim figure. She has a particular love for pizza, and macaroni and cheese, and is somewhat infatuated with sweets. She usually has a bunch of ‘emergency snacks’ stuffed in her back pack.
Maxime is an inventor, a mechanic, and does well with machines, and tech in general. She can often times be seen wearing a tool belt, with so many different tools in them it’s a wonder how she get’s them all to fit. She’s also often be seen tinkering with little bits of machinery, and likes to show her friends things that she made. One of her current favorite invention is a walking ‘talking’ (has several pre-recorded messages that play at random) table that she named Gilbert. She hopes to one day build a ship that can sail through both the sky and the sea.
Fighting Style:
Maxime has very little fighting knowledge, but seeks to learn. Her old self had some good fighting knowledge, so occasionally, if the situation truly calls for it, Maxime will hand over control of her body to her other personality, if she can.
Her other personality fights with a mixture of many things, such as kick boxing, punching, a bit of grappling, and so on. She fights to maim, and incapacitate the opponent as quickly as possible, so they can no longer fight.
Maxime herself, having little knowledge, just with whatever, punching and kicking whenever she sees the opportunity. Due to research, and watching youtube she knows vital areas, and things like, triangle chokes, arm bars, and the occasional wrestling move, but is other wise very unrefined and will try things even when they aren’t likely to work.
Strengths:
Strong sense of moral justice, great with machines, pretty strong, has tons of energy, etc.
Weaknesses:
Immature, not very fast, helpful to the point where it’s not to difficult to take advantage of her, has feelings of inferiority, and being untrusted/unwanted, she’s a jokester so not many people take her seriously, perceived as annoying/useless by most people, doesn’t have much fighting experience, etc.
History:
Maxime was involved in a genetic research project as one of the test subjects. There she was trained, experimented on, and shaped into a fighting machine with no mercy or empathy for anyone, the only people she cared for being her parents. She had no qualms with this, but during one of the experiments, the girl’s memory was mistakenly wiped, and she woke up confused. She still had memories of her name, her family, and what things were, but forgot about all the experiments, the experimenters, and most of her combat training. Max developed a new persona, a kind, caring and sensitive one.
Her parents sought to retrieve her from the facility, but after Maxime indirectly and mistakenly killed her mother, the director, Maxime’s uncle, blackmailed her father saying he’d reveal Maxime was the one behind her mother’s death if he attempted to take her back. Maxime was stuck with them for several more years, and her uncle soon discovered she had a musical talent. The girl had a knack for learning to play instruments, a good voice, and was a good dancer to boot. Her uncle, being a wealthy and well known/respected member of society, didn’t have much difficulty getting his little singer discovered.
Soon she was fairly well known, and went on tours to sing and perform. All the money she made went to her uncle of course. This angered her father, mostly because his brother had found yet another way to use the girl. Max eventually had a mental break down due to the guilt of causing her own mother’s death. While she was in a fragile mental state, slowly, her old self squirmed her way back into her mind in the form of another personality.
Max was diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, but eventually the girl became skilled at keeping her other at bay. One day, her father attempted to take his daughter and leave the country, but Maxime’s uncle ratted them out. Maxime was arrested, and given the choice of either going to juvvy or Public High School number five five two. She chose the latter option, and Maxime and her father re-located to New York to start their new life, no longer a part of her uncle’s project, and no longer a performer.
Recent History:
Maxime lives with her father in one of the wealthier suburbs on New York city. Her father is a doctor, and has quite a bit of money aside from his job due to an inheritance from his own father, so the two of them are very well off. Max lives with her father, but in in recent months spends most of her time living in one of her father’s yachts which floats in a pier just outside his house. It was originally named the Orion, but Maxime has renamed it multiple times. First it was the Taco The Town, then the Aqua Fart, and most recently she named it the Yeah Buoy. She sleeps in it, studies in it, and spends quite a bit of time creating and fixing machines up there, and has even made a few modifications to the boat itself. It’s almost like a personal hide out for her, and her little place of safety.
