=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 sometime after the death of his friend and childhood crush, Trinh. However, in a search for the truth on his family, he was wildly unsuccessful.

Eventually, he ended back home in Hoenn as an aspiring geologist, educated in Canalave University's mythology program, and Mt. Silver University's geology one. From this time on to when he turned 26, he acted with North Hoenn Acting Company in their renditions of 'The Rocky Horror Show' as Riff Raff or Dr. Frank N. Furter, or 'Little Shop of Horrors' as Audrey II or Orin Scrivello.

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 (well, really, any 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.

Rocket Takeover
Maxie lead Team Magma into an alliance with Team Rocket in early June, 2010. In mid-June, both teams raided the Kanto/Johto Indigo League, overthrowing the Champion and Elite Four. Maxie himself was in the front line on Victory Road, fighting with Silver to defeat Thorton, Darach, and Will. The Magma leader ordered explosives as well as napalm to be dropped on certain areas in Kanto and Johto, including Bill's house. As the battle progressed with the criminal nearly beaten, Maxie used his Pokemon in order to defeat the trainers themselves, poisoning Darach. Darach and Thorton were doused with gasoline from above, then lit. Will arrived to douse the flames, creating a distraction for the two to get out. Maxie both poisoned Will and shot him in the chest after getting reinforcements from Janine. He sustained only minor injuries from the incident.

Other Facts
It is important to note that he's had what seems to be a relationship with Cynthia since Team Magma was formed. Despite his still lingering affections for her, she broke it off due to the fact that she believes he's a psychopath. Also, Maximillian was actually born as Matsubusa Riku Rhynston, but changed his name to Maximillian Valdimir around the time Team Magma formed.

=Personality=

Maxie is a cynic with a fiery temper. He's a pacifist. He seldom is truly 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 an Ax Crazy Nice Guy mixed with a Well-Intentioned Extremist who has major Sanity Slippageand a Split Personality.

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

Hobbies
For a Trainer, though he's only recently become an official one, battling isn't very much to him. The only battles he will partake in are those pitted against him, or for training. Instead, he prefers his own type of challenge, usually intellectual, although he does often work on marksmanship. To him, research is more than a duty, it's a passion. He'll visit runes, ruins, or geological sites as often as he can while ruling the team. He also dabbles in chemistry, one of his goals to make a more flammable version of napalm.

However, a few of his methods of stress relief are violent. It's come into light that once he gets truly angry, he'll kill smaller Pokemon with his bare hands. Usually Mudkips, seeing as he has a deep hatred for them.

=Pokémon=

Mightyena
With the nickname of Mei, she was Maxie's first Pokémon. She is fiercely loyal.


 * Fire Fang
 * Iron Tail
 * Shadow Ball

Crobat
Misery, as he is called, shows no outright affection to his trainer. How he evolved is a mystery to them both. Due to being bitten so much during Misery's training, Maxie developed an immunity to the poison.


 * Cross Poison
 * Steel Wing
 * Dark Pulse
 * Aerial Ace

Camerupt
Maelstrom is slow and rather stupid, in his trainer's opinion. However, he is considered Maxie's second most powerful.


 * Earthquake
 * Eruption
 * Stone Edge
 * Flash Cannon

Houndoom
Malevolence fits his name. He was captured on a trip to Mt. Silver. Malevolence was, apparently, difficult to train, as Maxie had sustained a burn that never ceases pain from the creature.

 * Iron Tail

Mawile
Because she's one of his favourites, Malefic doesn't see the battlefield often.


 * Iron Head

Aggron
Malice is Misery's typical double-battle partner. However, due to her lower level, she is rarely used in battle.

Charizard
Mayhem is an apt name for the spunky girl. Causing trouble is what she does. Hatched from an egg stolen from a traveling circus.

Chansey
A gift from Archie. Mundify, however, is psychotic. She has been known for eating her own eggs. She also has a strange fascination with needles.
