¨ FULL NAME Maxwell Zed Taylor
¨ NICKNAME Max
¨ AGE Max is actually old. Really old. As in...h253 years old, old. Of course, he hasn't aged any, and he only looks to be about in his younger 20s, if even that.
¨ GENDER Male
¨ SPECIES vampire
¨ BLOOD TYPE O
¨ OCCUPATION he turns in criminals with bounties for the rewards. This is how he makes his living. Well, that and investing.

¨ PLAY BY N/A
¨ HAIR Max has dark brown hair, cut short. It's so dark a color brown that in the right light, it could pass for a lighter shade of black. It's just so happened to get really soft over the years.
¨ EYES Max has a kind of look to his eyes that many have described as timeless, meaning he looks like a man with more experience in life than any man should, which is true. He has been around for just over 200 years. When those he's hunting, which are always the scum of the planet, get a look into those eyes, they get a glimpse of a fury barely contained, and even a sort of blood lust, which is natural to vampires. For those few whom he considers friends, or even just a normal person that Max is helping out, they will see almost none of that edge. What they see is the sincerity in his eyes. He doesn't use his vampiric gifts to take from those without. He uses it to protect them.
¨ STATS Max stands at almost right at five feet and nine inches tall, although the boots he wears makes him seem a little taler. He isn't the heaviest person in the world either, although he's not the lightest(though you wouldn't know it to look at him), since he weighs in a an even one hundred and fifty pounds.
¨ BODY Max is one of those guys that always gets the advantage of surprise in a fight because people always underestimate him. He has a rather small, almost scrawny build to his body. He is only lightly muscled, and his clothes seem to sag on him somewhat. However, this appearance belies his actual strength, which is very considerable since he's a vampire. However, even for a vampire, he's surprisingly strong.
¨ FEATURES He doesn't have much, other than the look in his eyes. However, there are a couple of small things. He has a large scar on his right arm, stretching from his wrist to his elbow, which he got from fighting in the revolutionary war before he was turned into a vampire. He also has a few other scars on his body, all from the same war. Other than those, though, he has no tattoos or piercings. He personally doesn't think they suit him.
¨ WARDROBE Max dresses rather simply. He is typically seen wearing blue jeans and a Tshirt, with a brown corduroy blazer on top. The bottom of the jeans' pants legs go over the finely shined black leather combat boots he wears. All of his clothes are slightly-too-large, although the blazer is the one thing where this is most evident. When he lets his arms hang limp, the sleeves completely and totally hide his hands.

¨ FULL PERSONALITY Max is very musical for a vampire. He has even learned to play the drums, and is very good at it. His vampiric reflexes and speed allows him to do things other drummers couldn't.

Max rids the world of some of its most wanted criminals, such as terrorists and serial kilers and such. He sees this as his gift to the world, because he helps make people just a little bit safer with each man he kills.

Max had always gotten enjoyment out of running, even before he had been turned into a vampire. Now, however, he gets even more enjoyemnt out of it, and for more reasons than one. When he's just running to run, he enjoys the unmatched speed being a vampire gives him, which also happens to make him an exemplary free-runner. When he's chasing down one of his targets, however....he allows himself to give in to the blood lust that is the inheritance of all vampires, and he cannot deny that he absolutely loves it.

One more thing about Max is he loves turtles. Yes, it might seem somewhat silly for a centuries old vampire to enjoy such a simple, even goofy looking creature. However, Max finds them quite endearing, and keeps a couple of them as pets in his home. He takes very good care of them, and makes sure they get everything they need.

Max is a classic loner. He likes to be alone, although he does occasionally enjoy being out in a crowd every now and then. However, he mostly just wants to be left to his own devices unhindered to do what he wants, which only ever hurts those who deserve it. This doesn't mean he won't talk to people: on the contrary, he enjoys talking to people. but, at the end of the day, he doesn't want to actually get to know any of them. He knows he'll just end up outliving them and have to watch them die, which he has grown tired of. So, he distances himself from people, for the most part.

Max is a very moral vampire, and therefore he takes a natural liking to others with similar, high moral standards. He still keeps his distance from them, since he doesn't want to get too attached to people, but he does react much more friendly and warmly towards these people than he would most others.

Anyone who preys on the weak is scum in Max's eyes, and he deals with them accordingly. Of course, how he reacts to it is proportional to what they've done: if he sees a kid bullying a younger kid, he'll just run the bully off. If he sees someone trying to steal money from someone, he'll beat the crap out of them and run them off. If he sees someone who is killing someone, he'll just outright send out one of his trademark water spheres like a cannonball and turn them into a bloody mess.

Max is a vampire that dislikes heights. He is not afraid of them, just very uncomfortable around them. This is because he used to be afraid of them before he used his ability to defy gravity to conquer it. Now, he can walk up the outside of the Empier State Building, even though he might be very nervous doing it.

Max has high morals, and as such sees manipulation as a betrayal, especially if it's from someone he really truly trusted. So, if you try to manipulate him in any way, you'd better not let him find out, or he'll lose his temper and likely rip you to shreds

Immorality, period. He won't necessarily do anything to you other than just tell you you should probably clean up your act, unless what you do harms others. Then, he'll step in, and if necessary, end your sorry little life without remorse. Then, he'll bathe in your blood for a little bit and leave.

Max dislikes it when someone is cowardly, and won't stand up for something they claim to believe it, etc.

Max is normally a nice, even headed individual. He helps people who need it, and all that other good guy stuff. However, whenever he encounters someone who gets under his skin, his vampiric nature begins to surface. His blood lust starts to slowly rise the angrier and angrier he gets until he finally loses control of himself and just rips the person to shreds and leaves them a bloody puddle. So, for this reason, it's best to stay on his good side.

Though he likes being alone, his nice-guy nature makes him a very trusting person. This can make it somewhat easy to manipulate him sometimes, although he has learned from his mistakes and tries to take things with a grain of salt. Sometimes, though, his sensitive conscience gets the better of him and he has to help someone, despite whatever reservations he might have in the back of his mind.

Max is absolutely terrified of snakes. It stems from a horrible experience as a child, when he was still a human. In the colony he and his family lived in, he managed to stumble upon a large nest of poisonous snakes, and nearly died from the venom they had injectedinto him. Ever since then, he has been deathly afraid of snakes. If he sees one, poisonous or not, he freezes up, completely immobile in fear. He cannot speak, move, run away in fear. He can do nothing but stare at it.

He's somewhat afraid of making friends, since he's gotten attached to people before int he past, some that had accepted what he was, and some that hadn't. Either way, he had eventually outlived them, and with every friend or lover that died, a little piece of him died with them.

Max has the vampiric power of hydrokinesis, as well, which was transferred to him from Althea, the woman who turned him into a vampire. He is unusually skilled with his hydrokinesis, due to the fact that he has been continually putting it into practice by chasing down wanted men with bounties on their heads. He is capable of compressing water, in it's liquid form, to a solid state(NOTE: this is NOT ice.), which then allows him to use it as a weapon. For example, his most common way of fighting is to simple draw from the moisture in the air, and then use it to form water spheres and send them flying at his opponent with all the force of a cannon ball. Against groups of enemies, this can be just as devastating as an actual cannon. It is slightly less effective against single opponent's at such powerful speeds, as it is difficult for him to aim very accurately. It is important to note that, when he compressed water in its liquid form, it is not able to hold a cutting edge.

His power works on the molecular level, which allows him to also control its temperature. Doing this, he can turn it to steam/mist, and affect his opponents' vision. Or, he can turn it into ice, which then gives it the ability to hold a cutting edge. When using it as ice, he can give it a cutting edge. This is the only time, however, that he can make weapons such as knives, etc out of water.

¨ MOTHER Jessica Taylor, age at death: 41
¨ FATHER Matthew Taylor, age at death: 49
¨ SIBLINGS N/A
¨ IMPORTANT PEOPLE The woman who turned him into a vampire and saved his life, Althea. She mentored him into the vampire he is today, and as much as he hates what he did to her and wishes she had just let him die that day, he still admires her, even after death.
¨ BIRTHPLACE An old colony in Virginia that has long since died out. However, it was near modern-day Timberlake
¨ BIRTHDAY March Tenth, Seventeen Fifty Seven
¨ FULL HISTORY Max was born to Jessica and Matthew Taylor on March 10th, 1757 in the small colony settlement of Westpine, which is near modern-day Timberlake, Virginia. They were a happy family that made their living mostly by farming and trading with the other colonists. Max grew up an only child, but that suited him just fine, as he had the other children in the colony to play with. For that time period, he grew up as a relatively normal child, laughing and playing and working the fields.

Then, as he grew older and older, the colonists of the thirteen colonies began to grow disgruntled with their British rulers. And so, in the year of 1776, the American Revolutionary War began. Max, who was 19 at the time, stayed with his family, prefering to stay away from the conflict. However, this peace for them didn't last.

When a British patrol came through the small colony, a few of the revolutionary sympathizers among them began harassing their soldiers. The officers in charge of the patrol decided to make an example of these small, backwater colonists, and slauhgtered everyone they could get their hands on, including Max's parents. Max himself, along with a handful of others, managed to escape the British and their murderous intent. It was at this point that Max made the decision to join General George Washington and his Continental Army to fight against the bastard red coats that had killed his family.

He couldn't have decided a worse time for it. He joined just in time to take part in the Battle of Hubbardton, which was the day that was set to change his entire life....

At that battle, he was shot, and gravely wounded by an enemy bullet. He was left by his fellows to bleed out to death, and would have if it hadn't been for a strange, enigmatic woman who had come in to save him as the American Revolutionaries retreated from the red coats. She brought him to the relative safety of her home, and there attempted to nurse him back to health. As she did so, she talked to him, introducing herself as Althea, just a woman who lived off by herself, helping those injured in the war as she could. Max ecame to enjoy her company, even as his condition worsened and his wounds became infected.

Eventually came the day where Althea came to him and told him there was nothing she could do for him anymore. She could not stop the infection, and it would eventually claim his life. With tears in his eyes, he nodded his acknowledgement of the news, and told her he appreciated everything she had done, and he wouldn't forget her. It was then that she revealed just who and what she was: a vampire. At first, the thought of her being a vampire left hiim numb with shock, and then revulsed him. However, as she continued speaking to him about it, he came to realize this didn't change who she was. She was still the same woman who had done everything she could to save his life.

When she gave him the option of becoming a vampire, he accepted it, thinking that living life as the living dead would be better than just outright death. And so she bit him and turned him into a vampire. Once he was fully turned into a vampire himself, and was brought back to full strength, he began to help Althea care for other soldiers injured in the war.

This continued until the war was ended. Even when there were no more soldiers for them to care for, Max continued living with Althea. After all, where was he to go? Besides,she had shown him much about being a vampire, such as the abilities he'd gained with it. The enhanced strength, the speed. The most streange of all, though, was his new-found ability to control water. She said he had gained it because she had it as well, and when she had turned him, he had gained the same ability. She began teaching him to use it, not for fighting, but to heal. She showed him how to use compressed water to seal off wounds and keep the victim from bleeding out from it. She showed him how to set broken limbs using a splint of water, and various other things.

This went on for years, until finally the people of the nearby town where they got the supplies they occasionally needed learned of their secret. These people weren't so inviting of the "beasts" as Max had been of Althea when he had found out.

They gathered in a mob, every single townsperson from women to older children to the oldest man, and marched on their small home. No matter how much he tried to convince her, Althea would not leave what had become her home.

So, when the mob came, she attempted to reason with them. She tried to talk. It did no good, though, and Max had to watch as the mob descended upon her. Rather than fight back with her vampiric strength and speed, Althea let the townsfolk simple kill her, refusing to harm innocents.

As he stood there, watching, the mob finished with Althea, leaving her literally torn to pieces, and turned to him. Angered by what he had seen, Max went into a rage fueled blood lust. Using his greater vampiric strength and speed, he took a weapon from one of the townspeople and began to kill them, one by one. What they were, who they were, didn't matter to him. Women, children, men, they didnt' matter. He killed them all. He cut them all down, and then he went to the town and killed those who had stayed behind as well.

Sinking into despair at losing the last vestige of family he had had, Max began to wander around the world, feeding where he could even if it meant draining an animal of its blood. He went on like this for years, and years, until eventually he managed to get himself together. He settled into a little township in New England, up in Maryland. He got a house, and started his own little garden. He separated himself from the rest of the people in the town, though ,not wanting what happened with Althea to happen here. He didn't want to hurt any more innocents.

Instead, he spent all of his free time up at the creek, practicing with his hydrokinesis for hours and hours, and sometimes days, on end. He learned not just how to heal with it, but how to fight with it. He learned how he could use compressed balls of water like cannonballs that could rip through a tree trunk, and how to make discs of water he could take into the air. He learned to do amazing things with his power.

It wasn't long after this that he decided that, instead of wasting away and doing nothing for anyone by isolating himself from people, he would do the world a service and get rid of those who were wanted for such as murder and thievery. It was then, in the mid-eighteen hundreds and the height of the western movement, that he became the bountry hunter. Wielding a peacemaker revolver, he hunted down whole troops of bandits and outlaws, turning them in for the money, which he used to make his living. He also invested it in things like gold, and small starting entrepreneurs.

Over the years he has continued this business. His funds, which he has been steadily increasing over the years, now total in the billions, and yet he still lives in modest housing in the middle of New York, where he leaves his turtles, and all his worldly possessions. He it frequently away, off hunting wanted criminals for the bounties on their heads. Only now, with the arrival of these humans calling themselves Hunters, it has become more difficult. They can always see him for what he is, and without question always attack him to kill. He defends himself, of course, and shows them no mercy that they don't show him.

Max looked up at the ship above him from where he was in the water. The man he had been hunting, Jacob O'Connor, was aboard the ship. He was an Irish human trafficker, specializing in shipping out perfectly innocent girls, and then sold them out for prostitution. That kind of thing disgusted Max. He didn't understand these humans anymore. Why did they do such despicable things?

He used his ability to control water to turn the liquid solid around him, allowing him to pull himself out of the water and then stand upon its surface, even as waves rose and fell around him. He then walked clamly up to the large ship, which was as big as a cruise liner.

He could sense the girls in one of the cargo holds. He could tell they were terrified and afraid. He would be getting them out soon, though. Very soon...

He walked right up to the portside of the ship and began to walk right up the side of it. As he reached the edge of the upper deck, he crouched down and looked. There was a guard right in front of him, on the other side of the guard rail. He could get him,though, if he was fast enough. Nobody would ever know a thing....

Max quickly struck out, using a little glob of water to cover the man's face so he couldnt' shout out and raise an alarm, and then tossed him overboard. The man deserved to drown in the cold waters for what he'd helped do to these girls.

Finally on the upper deck of the ship, Max began searching for an entrance to the inside of the ship. It took a few minutes, and the elimination of several guards, before he could find it. When he did, he quickly opened the door and went inside, only to be confronted by four guards staring right at him. He cursed himself for not being more watchful and checking to see if he sensed humans on the other side.

As he lunged forward to take dow the two nearest to him, the one at the rear turned and ran the few mere feet to the nearest alarm, and pulled it. As he did, an alarm sounded through the entire ship, announcing exactly where the intrusion was.

Fucking fantastic.... Max thought to himself as he ripped a man's heart out with his bear hands, and then immediately whirling aroudn to kick another man flat int he face. The blow knocked the cartiledge in the bridge of his nose loose and flying into his brain, which killed him almost intantly. He then descended upon the next two guards, dispatching them quickly and easily with a pair of ice-knives he'd created out of the moisture of the ocean air.

As he let the bodies fall tot he floor, he looked around. He needed to find those girls fast. There was no telling what these evil men would do to them once they found out there was an intruder on the ship. He had to be quick, before they did somethign to then.....
