    Name: Max "The Ballista"

    Gender: Male

    Race: Human/Dwarf

    Age: 19

    Appearance: Max stands at exactly 5ft tall with a slender figure. He has shaggy Brown hair and Blue eyes. He wears leather boots and greaves, black pants, a long-sleeve tunic and a black overcoat with a steel pauldron and gauntlet on the right arm.

    Background: Max's father worked as an artificer in a criminal organization before he met the woman that would later become Max's mother, she was a mercenary also with the organization. They left the organization sometime after Max was born and began travelling, his father becoming a merchant and Max's mother still worked as a mercenary, his father's skill often helped with her jobs. Max was taught the skills of an artificer by his dad and his mother had taught him how to use a crossbow and eventually Max became a mercenary as well.

    One day while they were guarding a merchant caravan a large group of bandits ambushed the caravan, his mother couldn't fire her crossbow fast enough to take out the bandits that charged at her and she was killed. The loss hit his father especially hard and he became obsessed with perecting the mechanism for a repeater crossbow, he eventually created one working model and passed it down to his son before dying of an illness six months later.

    Max continued to travel as a mercenary and craftsman.

    Reason for Boarding the Kamela: Traveling mercenary.

    Class: Ranger

    Class Type: Artificer

    Main Strength: Excellent Marksman

    Main Weakness: Strength

    Any Other Information: Max uses a custom repeater crossbow given to him by his father.
    it's arms can fold in to make it easier to carry and a 1ft sword blade can extend out of the front as a sort of bayonet.

    Awww, I love Meek's last comment to Shango. I always like winning over tough people, in real life and in RP's. It just seems like more of an accomplishment to become friends with a tough girl/guy (or someone really shy) than someone who's a social butterfly that talks to everybody. Kinda like earning a cat's respect, as opposed to a dog who will love you immediately.

    And now that I'm saying all this I realize Shango is a social butterfly, lol.

    I dunno, maybe Im weird, but I like slightly disturbed, emotionally unavailable types. Like the loner that wears a leather jacket and doesn't have any friends in classic teen movies--I would definitely try to be his buddy. There's a really shy friendless guy at my school who wears all black that I want to be friends with. I just haven't thought of how to introduce myself. Blah.

    Also, it amazes me that Syl is the only one who thought of getting a mop and cleaning up the vomit. She might be the sanest one on the ship.

    not exactly, he's slightly taller and a bit slimmer than an actual dwarf but still shorter than most humans
    and the hair and eyes are a different color, and his clothes are different

    that is how i imagined his crossbow, i did base it off bianca

    I know this is really random but you're appearence description of Max really made me think of my IRL friend XD He is exactly 5ft (and shorter than basically everyone else, even shorter than I am and I'm pretty short), he has brown hair and is slender. The only difference is he's not a half dwarf and has brown eyes.

    Lol. Well some one on that server has read those books. It's a curse in the Warhammer 40k universe.

    Ah minecraft though. Been awhile since I've played. Sounds like your accomplishing things though ha ha
