Full name: Mackenzie “Max” Peterson Irvaron. His parents gave him that name because they both thought they were very wise and because one of his great-grandfather’s names was Peter.
Nickname: Everyone calls him Max because Mackenzie is a pain to say again and again. Plus, Max is embarrassed by it because most girls are called Mackenzie. He sees his actual name as a threat to his image and masculinity.
Some people like to call him Ken or Kenzie just because they can. Some people even call him Mack.
Age (14-18): 15
Grade (9-12): 10th
Gender: Male
Appearance: Max is 5’3, pretty short for a boy his age. He is constantly mocked about it, which annoys him halfway to the graveyard. Max weighs 125 pounds, about average for a boy his age with his height. However, because of this, many people tower above him in weight (which is why he relies on speed so much). Max likes to exercise, and thus has a pretty good build. Even if you take away all of his magical abilities, he has a two-pack (which might not be as impressive as a fifty-pack, but Max doesn’t care). He is not really scrawny, as he has an average chest, a healthy stomach, below-thick legs, and a bit above-average length legs. Max’s hair color is a dark-caramel-like brown, which he got from the small amount of American blood in him (though he is nothing compared to his older triplet sister Camille, who is blonde and has white skin). At the front, you can see Max is bangless, though he has two strands poking at his forehead at the sides of his forehead. In the back, his hair is quite ruffled, and it’s be a pain to comb/brush. At the sides, you can he his hair straight and without curls, similarly to the top of his head. Max’s eyes are light caramel with bits of hazel sprinkled throughout. He has an intense gaze with his eyes, one that is not haunting, but captivating. Max’s eyes are horizontal ovals that a slightly thinner and taller than the average person’s eye. His eyes are never in full stare, but they aren’t prone to going in a glare-like stance. His nose is always a bit perked down, but not enough to call it slanted. He has a few small freckles on the left side of his chin, and also on the left side of his forehead the longer strand of hair reaches down to his eyebrows (and because of this, Max usually fiddles with it). If you had to choose which facial feature would be the most prominent, it would have to be the strand of hair simply because it is the easiest to see and most noticeable. Max’s skin has a dark-fair complexion, darker than the average Spanish person, but much lighter than an African. He is pimple-less, and has smooth (almost baby-like) skin. Max has an apple-ish-shaped birthmark on the upper part of his back, and does not think much of it. Max, though his family is very wealthy, prefers cool & casual clothes. His favorite outfit is a yellow, short-sleeve, zipper vest along with comfortable black jeans and black fingerless gloves. However, he also owns many fancy and extravagant clothing, like tuxedos and such. Humorously, due to having two sisters and living with his grandmother for a short time, they’d constantly dress him up in “girly” outfits or clothing that is obviously made for females, such as dresses or skirts. Though others find it out-of-character for him, he looks at the feminine clothes he’s worn proudly, hoping he can get some girls to look at photos and think he’s adorable. Usually, if he’s wearing something, he’ll have everything proper. If he’s wearing a jacket, he’ll zip in up. If he’s wearing a dress shirt, he’ll button everything. For him, wearing something like a jacket open feels weird (unless he has a message he wants everyone to see on his inside shirt). He also wears a golden ring most of the time.
Power (include strengths and weaknesses): Max's mutant genes allow him to control electricity in all types of forms. He can generate his own static electricity, use electricity to amplify his muscles, and shock someone for a prank. He does not have the ability to paralyze anyone, but he cannot be shocked and is immune to all forms of electricity. However, excessive overuse of his power tires him, and if he pushes it, he will be paralyzed for an hour at worst. After that restrained period of time, for twelve minutes, Max will be rendered unable to use his power.
Personality: Max is a deadpan snarker who always tells people off unless he gets the feeling he’d be better off ignoring the comment. He has a short temper, which is quite hypocritical, because he causes people to go bear crazy on him.
He’s quick to respond and jump to conclusions. This gets him in trouble many different times in the series; sometimes, he mistakes a friend as an enemy, or an enemy as a random person. This doesn’t help much, combined with the fact that he has a hard time letting people know that he’s wrong.
He does have his strengths, however. While most of the time he’ll be trying to make you punch him in the face, the rest of the time he’ll be serious and a very helpful teammate. With his quick mindset, he thinks of the one solution he has and goes into it; and on occasion, that solution is helpful.
He, in reality, is a light tsundere - he acts like he couldn’t give two breaths about others, but in reality, they are his buddies. He has a hard time really letting people down, and though he might never say “I love you,” he does.
Oh, and then there’s his attitude. Oh god, his attitude. He might not be grumpy, but he sure isn’t Mister Sunshine. Delivering snarky remarks whenever someone says something stupid and quips even when staring into the face of danger. With all this, you might want to ask “Why’d anyone wanna hang out with this douche?” Well, that’s the thing about Max - you either tolerate him or you don’t. You think that he’s more than meets the eye, or what you see is what you get.
Max is a flirt - he sees someone attractive, he hits on them. Sometimes, people may see him as a plain and simple minor womanizer - and they would be correct. Some see this as him being a weirdo, but often, he charms and flusters ladies with weak minds easily.
Backstory: Max was born to two wealthy people (his mother an oil factor CEO, his father a lawyer) with mutant genes, and with their gifts, his parents tried to keep their mutant genes discreet. While this isn't the strangest case of "multi-baby birth" ever, Max was born the middle child of three triplets, and he and his younger sister were the only ones who inherited their mothers mutant gene of electrokinesis - their oldest sibling, Camille, got telekinesis and telepathy instead. Growing up, they weren't famous, though the three always believed that rich = famous. Instead of constantly being given toys, they were being taught manners and being sent to boarding schools because their parents didn't want them to fall under the "spoiled brat" category of children. This is where Max learned compassion.
Now, besides that, their childhood was boringly average. Nothing super special to mention. Until this happened.
When they were all 10, Marlee, Max's younger triplet sister, Marlee, was captured for ransom. By the time the police were called and they got the negotiation ready, the kidnapper was surprised when they arrived and accidentally sliced one of Marlee's arms off.
While Camille, the older triplet sister, was filled with rage, this was a traumatizing experience for Max. He had seen his younger sister armless. If you were 10, wouldn't you be crying?
Yes, Marlee got cybernetic arms (and if you were wondering why Marlee gave Max those gloves, it was because she wouldn't need them and Camille didn't care), but even to this day, Max turns on anyone who dares to do something he would hate to him, because you never know if that person is just a kidnapper on a less deadly scale.
However, this experience also furthered his kindness. He is kind to people in need, because he doesn't want to see anyone suffer in the way Marlee did.
When both of his parents found out about the mutant school and saw that this was an opportunity they didn't have growing up, they wanted to send all three of the triplets - however, Camille and Marlee begged not to go, so only Max went.
