Character Information:
Character Name:
Maxwell Gonnifrey
Age:
23
Appearance:
Slender. Measures 1.85m (about 6ft). Blue eyes devoid of interest and motivation. Blonde, slightly messy curtained hair. Weighs about 70kg (155lbs). Round, metal-framed glasses.
Occupation or Archetype:
Prior to the apocalypse, Maxwell used to be a businessman with an interest in engineering and sciences. Since the apocalypse he has schooled himself into somewhat of a tinkerer / mechanic, although largely elementary in actual experience, he has read most of the books he found on the subjects and can be considered somewhat of an all around craftsman.
Short Questions
How does your character feel about stealing?
Maxwell generally opposes stealing, unless it is done for a valid reason (saving a life, temporarily stolen to protect oneself or someone else, etc...) but won't act against it, nor care all too much, unless someone steals from him or a friend of his.
How does your character feel about killing?
Maxwell will kill if he has to, and (usually) will try and succeed in (temporarily) swallowing any guilt he feels after doing so - that is, if he has reason to feel guilt. He has killed a few people in the past and has grown more used to it than he'd like to admit, although he is far from a psychopathic badass.
How does your character respond to danger?
Maxwell generally stays calm, but can act rather impulsive if time is short. He will generally try to assess the situation prior to acting if he has the time to do so.
What is your character's greatest strength?
His charisma and ability to quickly build trust (whether or not Maxwell intends to abuse this.)
He can also feel rather disconnected to his feelings and this is helpful in situations where an objective mindset is more appropriate.
What is your character's greatest weakness?
His impulsiveness (whilst extremely useful at times) can cause him to mess up at vital times and put his (or others') life at risk.
What does your character like to do in their free time?
Read; tinker with weapons, equipment, etc...; daydream; draw maps; write.

Biography
Character Background:
Maxwell used to be a successful businessman prior to the apocalypse, handling shares, company acquisition, meetings, etc... Whilst he made plenty of money with this, it wasn't what truly fascinated him; he always had an interest in science and engineering, and had many books on these subjects in his house - which he sadly never read due to how busy he was. Around the same time as the virus, his company had been looking into acquisition of several medical companies; including the "unknown" company with it's so called "vaccine". This last company was especially interesting plain and simply because of the vaccine, and Maxwell was in charge of this acquisition. After being successful at this he handled the employee transition and also sat down with the new CEO and council and talked about the vaccine they were developing. After making it very clear that it was untested, Maxwell pushed for fake testing data thanks to another medical lab his company owned and pushed for the vaccine to be sold to governments. At the beginning, this went great; Maxwell got a firm pay raise, people appeared to be healthy, etc... Although this (obviously) didn't last; but you know the rest of the story. Thanks to his knowledge of the potential danger of the vaccine and late (actual) test results from their lab, he found out shit was going to go wrong, so he had a few days to prepare prior to the whole "apocalypse"; so he took his books, some tools, had one final nice hot shower, and took off to a less dense part of the country. Lucky for him though; he now had all the time in the world to read his books.
