Max (River)

Character summary
Half Elf twin sister to Min (Simon)

Early Life
Max twin sister to Min.

Max was the first born of the twins, and she was born a fighter, as the stronger of the two twins she grew up caring for her feeble brother Min. Min and Max's Mother died in child birth, and they never found out who their father was, as no-one claimed the twins when they were born. Min and Max were found in their mothers arms, crying and alone they were taken from there to an orphanage in Karac.

Growing up in the orphanage was not easy for the twins, as Min was quite weak Max spent most of her life trying to take care of him, and make sure no harm befell him. Shortly after the twins turned 5 years of age they were removed from the orphanage due to constant  disruptions, and injuries to other children who were living with them. Left to fend for themselves on the streets they quickly became malnourished and weak, constantly starving and having to fight to survive.

Shortly after being abandoned an elf called Glorfindel found them huddled together barely alive, but still clinging onto the last shred of hope. Taking pity on the twins Glordfindel took them in and fed them providing them with a place to eat and sleep, until they were fit and healthy. Noticing Max's strength and natural fighting ability Glordfindel took the time to place them into a home that could provide the twins with training, and deal with their volatile personalities.

Upon placing them into care, Glordfindel made the twins a deal " one day in the future I will call on you to assist me like I have assisted you" He then gave to them a stone of sending, so that he will be able to contact them with the time comes to collect on his favor.

Their adoptive father was a elf trained in gladiatorial arts, and used to fight in the arenas before being able to retire. Once he took the twins under his wing he began training them in fighting, quickly coming to the conclusion that when it comes to physical skills and fighting Max excelled, however Min did not.

Growing up Max's need to care for her brother never sated, and she used her new skills to protect him from any form of perceived harm.

Gladiator
Max Found that she had a affinity for fighting, and grew up with great love and respect for her father, she found that she wanted to follow in his footsteps and become a fighter in the Karac Arena's becoming Karac's champion gaining the freedom to be able to travel, and to be honored and respected, no longer a slum diving Half elf trash.

Max found her way into the Karac arenas after she was caught defending Min in the Karac streets, she was sent to the Karac slum's holding cells, but was saved by her father who made a deal with the guards to send her to the arena as a prisoner, and she has to fight her way out of her sentence.

Max began thriving in the arena and quickly worked her way out of her debt and sentence, she rose to fame among the populous of Kraco, earning her and her brother a modicum of freedom and the ability to leave the city at will, no longer bound as tightly with the chains of servitude.

Bounty Hunting
Max used her new found freedom to become a bounty hunter with her brother hunting down fugitives from Kraco and the surrounding towns. At first they struggled with the capturing (killing) of the bounties due to not knowing how to live and survive outside of the slums, having to learn a whole new set of skills to survive. Early into their journeys Min and max set up a camp and went to rest for the night, Min who was supposed to be awake for watch fell asleep, and was awaken by a stranger who told them that it was not safe, and that more care was needed.

Around a year later they were closing in on a bounty, they were interrupted and hindered in their pursuit by a Hermit Gnome called Ipakas, who helped their bounty get away, It was then that Min realized that this was the Gnome who had stumbled upon their camp. Max was livid that Ipakas had helped the bounty get away, Min defusing the situation by talking to Ipakas and explaining the situation to him, and Ipakas then helped them capture their bounty.

Dealing with Min
Due to Mins adventurous nature, despite basically being an invalid for the early stages of his life Max was constantly getting into trouble protecting him, or saving him from the sticky situations that he seemed to get himself into. Mins need fir adventure only made her love him more, his need and want for adventure despite glaring limitations motivated her, and gave her the strength that she needed to fight, and become someone that he could rely on, so that he could live his life the way that he wanted to without being held back by his limitations.
