About MaksimOrigin In this era of Mutants, America may be more welcoming to such interesting beings, but in the far corners of the world, other countries and people may not be so welcoming.
Maksim Lyaksandro Lowe was born on October 20th, 2005 to a human mother, and a Mutant father. He was born in the small village of Dzembronya, Ukraine. With a small population of 250 people, Maksimβs father, Lyaksandro, moved there with his wife before Maksim was born, in hopes that they could hide amongst the tall mountains and dense forests, and be as normal as their family could be.
When the Ukrainian government began to scour the country for mutants, taking some in as live experiments and executing the rest, Maksimβs father instructed his son to run, run far, and do not stop running until heβs found somewhere safe. At 13 years of age, Maksim was forced to fend for himself. He ran, and hid, and ran some more, not knowing how far but determined to get far from anyone who want to harm him. Eventually, after scavenging for scraps, and at times evading officials, Maksim stowed away on a cargo ship.
Eventually, the young boy found himself in Azure City, New York, USA.
Present day in Azure City, the young Maksim is only 14 years of age. He lives on the streets of the city, evading officials out of general fear of what theyβd do to him and stealing to be able to survive. Due to the nature of what heβs had to do to live on the streets, Maksim is forced to evade officials, and seems to always be on the run from trouble, even though the young boy has not an ounce of evil in his heart.
Personality During his early childhood in Ukraine, Maksim always enjoyed exploring the woods near his house, going fishing with his father, and helping his mother take care of their small farm by doing chores around the homestead. He and his father shared the same mutant power, so many free nights were spent by his father side, learning how to harness itβs power, and not let itβs energy take over his mind and body.
Now, stuck in Azure City and struggling to survive, Maksim is a completely different child. Due to being constantly pursued by the officials the young boy is always looking over his shoulder and covering his tracks so that he may have a few moments of rest before having to run. Maksim refuses to let anyone near him who asks and tries his best to stay away from large crowds of people. Stealing from others, and at times being forced to fight his power when its triggered, has taught the boy to feel little remorse in anything he does.
A little boy who once loved his family and his world, Maksim is forced to do anything he can to stay alive, fearful to approach anyone for help should they turn their back on him and leave him for dead.
Notable Relations His parents will always hold a special place in his heart. When he lays down to rest, theyβre always there in the forefront of his thoughts, assuring him that everything will be alright.

Everyday Skills Because Maksim has had to steal and cheat his way to survive, heβs learned to be very sneaky. He excels at pickpocketing if he can find the right moment, and never turns up a free chance to nab a meal from under someoneβs nose.
CombatFighting Style Maksim prefers to avoid any conflict that he can, both because he doesnβt know much hand-to-hand skills, and, if frightened, his powers can overtake him, causing him to go into an unstoppable rampage in which he can harm, and even kill, anyone and everyone he sees as a threat.
Strengths Maksim is somewhat on the smaller side for his age, thus allowing him to be more agile and allowing him to slip from somebodyβs loose grasp, or outrun someone should he get into trouble. Heβs also learning to be quicker on his feet when he needs to climb or scale an object to get out of a sticky situation.
Weaknesses Maksim is not very good at hand to hand fighting and prefers to stay far from anyone should a fight ensue.
Equipment Maksim does not own any sort of weapon or tool.
For clothes, he wears:
A tattered blue denim jacket. (

Dark, calf-length pants that are worn at the knees and tattered at the bottom of the leg.
Black sneakers that are starting to separate at the sole and have a few small holes in them.
PowerStrengths Maksim is somewhat of a Lycanthrope, meaning his power relates to that of becoming a werewolf. When this power is triggered, the hostβs eyes glow a deep blue, their canine and teeth become sharper (as a reflection of their power being derived from a wolf) and they receive a burst of strength. Although, even with fully developed powers, the user does not fully transform into that of a werewolf, but rather receives heightened senses, sharpened reflexes, and improved survivability for a short time.
An adult with this power can withstand a stab wound through a non-vital organ during a fight, in which the adrenaline is so high that they can push through their pain and finish the fight.
A child with this power, if properly and rigorously trained from birth through adolescence, can control their power, but will not receive the full affects an adult might, including some lack of adrenaline, and less survivability. But in turn, they will be able to control their power, and choose when it is triggered and released.
Weaknesses/Limitations A child Lycanthrope, if not properly trained from birth through adulthood, may find trouble in trying to control their power if frightened or threatened. The child does not receive the sharper canine teeth, but their eyes will still glow blue and they find themselves unable to control their body or mind.
Due to the lack of training in Maksimβs case, he has the survivability, the reflexes, and the senses, but he is unable to limit and control it, thus running his body to the point that he could collapse and be unable to function without proper rest.
The major drawback to both adults and children, is once their power is released, whether it be from choice or not, they immediately lose any heightened abilities, and the adrenaline quickly leaves their body.
Any injuries sustained, life threatening ones most importantly, must be treated immediately, as their bodies go back to the normal state of a human, to which a certain extent of pain and injury is too much for anyone to bear.
Both adults and children Lycanthrope can only be in their state of power for a limited time, and that time all depends upon the amount and intensity of training they have received.

(Warning, blood and violence involved. If you don't wanna see some nasty guy puking blood don't go past 1:07. And yes it's an anime.) youtube.com/watch?v=LBYM3FxtVhk Maksim does pretty well at keeping himself in decent hygiene despite his struggles.
By this time, Maksim knows English well enough to where can speak it fluently, that is if he decides to say anything to you at all.
