TectonicRevival

=History=

Born in Fallarbor Town, Maximillian never met his mother - she died during childbirth. His father was missing, presumed dead, since three weeks prior to his birth. He was deported to an orphanage in Snowpoint, Sinnoh. After some hazing incidents and a near-death experience on the frozen lake, he left the only home he knew on a search for the truth. He was wildly unsuccessful.

Eventually, he ended back home in Hoenn as an aspiring geologist.

Birth of Team Magma
Team Magma was founded when Maximillian was about 26. However, it is widely unknown why or when he began the organization, or even how he got funding. The known facts are that a homeless genius created an organization that became cult-like. Their main goal appears to be expansion of the landmass. Upon founding the syndicate, Maximillian adopted the name of 'Maxie' as a type of alias. The Team has a hatred of the region's other group, Team Aqua, and the leaders have a deep-rooted rivalry. It is suspected that they met during the early years, or while Maxie was working as a freelance geologist and mythology researcher.

=Personality=

Maxie is a cynic with a fiery temper. He's a pacifist. He seldom is angry, though it seems as if he is often. He goes wild with rage easily, which isn't helped by his habits; he is both an alcoholic and a smoker. His curiosity is great, and almost feline. However, when provoked, he can be murderous. Otherwise, Maxie is a generally friendly person with a few dramatic personality quirks.

Any questions about his personality can be directly asked in his formspring account; found here.

=Relationships With People=

Blaine
Cinnibar Gym Leader Blaine has agreed to work with Team Magma on the condition that no volcanoes are erupted. The two share a love for riddles and fire.

Will
Elite Four Will has a platonic friendship that mostly involves talking about tragedy and drunkenness, as well as calling Lance a jerk. They also meet to go drinking sometimes.

Lance
Interest in mythology is all these two have in common, but they tend to talk often anyway. Especially when it involves Will. Recently, Maxie helped Lance's Charizard get over a problem with Will, resulting in the Magma Leader having an arm broken in three places, a fractured wrist and two fingers, and torso, upper arms, and lower neck second-degree burns with a few third spotted around. He has not healed as of yet.

Riley
Met during an incident with Will at a sex club, Riley and Maxie should probably know each other better, seeing how much time they spend on Iron Island.

RocketMafia
Both are leaders of 'crime syndicates.' There's a respectful, friendly front between the two, though Maxie despises Team Rocket.

Cynthia
[ https://twitter.com/SinnohChampionC Cynthia] and Maxie had a relationship about a year or a half a year back. The two ended rockily, and haven't spoken to each other since, until they found each other on Twitter. This has lead to conflicts, especially involving her new boyfriend, Steven Stone.

Steven Stone
Though they once had a mutual interest in geology, the two are at a bitter rivalry due to their common interest; Cynthia.
