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 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.

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.

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.
