__________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Max is a slender beauty with fair skin and naturally rosy cheeks. She has completely black hair that is almost always in loose curls which reach the middle of her back. Her bedroom eye shape is complimented by the green color that can pierce your soul. She has long legs with a beach model body, though she cares very little about her natural beauty. She always has her lips painted red, and she has two blue stripes tattooed horizontally on her left cheek, as well as two blue circles tattooed around her left upper arm. Her ears are pierced multiple times, always changing between gems and hoops.

Her clothing reflects the more traditional style that pirates leaned towards, along with a few modifications she added herself. Max wears an off-white shirt that clings to her body with ruffles over her breasts and tank-top sleeves. She has low-rise pants that are skin-tight and a red-brown color. It's clear where they have been worn, but she loves the look of clothing that earned the blemishes. Her brown boots go up to her knees and with scuff marks all over them. The brown jacket she wears fits her body well and falls to her knees. Max wears a red sash around her waist and sometimes adds a matching one in her hair.  The only accessory she wears sentimentally is the sapphire engagement ring from her past love.

She carries more weapons than ashs probably should. She has her pistol secured in its holster around her right thigh, as well as her cutlass in its belt sheath on her left hip. Max has an eight-foot whip on her right hip and a dagger hidden in her right boot.

Personality
Though she once was something of a goody-two-shoes, Max's old friends wouldn't recognize her now. She's a strong woman who knows where she belongs, and she will never take shit from anyone. Not to be confused with someone who won't take criticism, as she is more than willing to listen to the advice of anyone she actually thinks of as important, which is a very short list.

In general, she is the last person you would want to double-cross because she will come back with something much more fun. You slap her in the face, she hits you with a chair. She'll never play on anyone's team. Either she leads, or you don't have her services. Her motives are run by her and her alone: she isn't afraid to change her destination or price in the middle of a job.

Max exudes authority, but that doesn't mean she can't let loose and have fun, as she often does. With no wants for a steady life or family, Max is free to do what she wants when she wants. She's a leader, through and through, capable of turning even the most noble into a wanted fugitive.

Magic/Abilities
Technopathy: This particular gift allows Max to communicate with the computers that run her ship. She didn't obtain this gift naturally, though. When she became captain of the Liberator, she had a chip designed and implanted in her spine at the base of her skull which basically turned her into the computer.

Electrogenesis: Slightly differing from the psionic found in Aedolis, Max's talent allows her to generate electric energy to charge technology or even for medical reasons, for example restarting a heart. If the computers die on the ship, or if they need an energy boost of some kind, she's able to pump it full of electricity to give some added power.

Navigation: Though technically not anything impressive, Max relies on the stars for navigation. She is aware that computers can be hacked and navigational systems can go down, she she has taught herself the map of the stars.

Flight: Flight of a ship, that is. Max is experienced and thoughtful about how she flies her ships. She is agile and intelligent, planning several different courses of actions at once. Though she's most at home at the helm, she is capable of taking over any of the other positions if needed.

Combat: Amazing. Simple as that. Her combat skills are rarely rivaled, purely because of the range. She can throw knives with perfect accuracy; she can sword fight in nearly any style; she can shoot with both hands; she can operate the ship's weapons. There are truly few weapons that Max can't use.

Relationships
The only people she cares about are her crew members. She will verbally beat on them occasionally, but that's how pirates show love! "Dirty bastard" = "my friend" in pirate language. She would easily kill for anyone of them, and she would lay her own life on the line for her officers.

History
Max comes from a long line of Libran pilots, going back six generations on her father's side. In her family, the men were expected to become pilots, while the women did whatever they wanted. When her father realized that he was not going to have a son, Max was pushed into the pilot program. Having always wanted to be a pilot like her father, Max was absolutely fine with it. She later discovered that she was far from a good fit.

During the training, she met a handsome, young man with a scar on his cheek who was just a year ahead of her. They worked well enough together that they became best friends, and eventually partners, earning the title of Knight. Their partnership even extended to their personal lives. She didn't feel at home as a military pilot, but he just made it better. One day, his weapons system malfunctioned, and her ship was accidentally shot down. Her escape lever was jammed, but she was able to eject herself a few seconds before the ship crashed. Unfortunately, she escaped just in time to watch his ship go down.

With him gone, Max had no real motive to go back to her life as a pilot. Everyone thought she was dead, so maybe that was what it should be. She went under an assumed name and faked a paper trail so deep that Aedolian Seekers wouldn't be able to find a flaw. She started working on a cruise ships for mediocre pay, but soon made up her mind to become captain of her own vessel. Through this mindset, she turned to piracy.

Her life as a pirate was just what she wanted. Max thrived on piloting a ship, but she needed the freedom that came with being a pirate. When she was twenty-two, she started putting a crew together of like-minded individuals. At twenty-three, she and her new friends commandeered a large explorer vessel from a docking station. She renamed the ship the SS Liberator and started living as she was always meant to.
