Name: Max Cooper

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Element: Fire

Talent: Acting, drawing on the side.

Appearance: Max has a confident appearance to him, which intimidates strangers sometimes. He's 5'10", somewhat on the heavier side of weight but that's from the muscle building he's done since getting into working out. His whole body is pretty evenly toned up, though he's yet to achieve any six pack or "super arms" thus far. He's got dark hair, razored on the ends. Sometimes he wears a hat or shades, other times he prefers not to. Almond shaped blue eyes. Often times lets a little stubble grow in but he shaves every other day.

Personality: Optimistic, honest, and loves freedom. He doesn't want to waste even a minute of his life on something or someone who might hold him back. He enjoys the here-and-now, and doesn't dwell on the past but rather looks towards the future. He's got a bit heart but also loves his independence. He loves to meet new people, and makes a lot of friends. He usually keeps his sexuality to himself however until he finds someone he's interested in. He's a bit of a flirt at times, but also knows when it's inappropriate. His ability to fake emotions is what made him good at acting, and got him out of a lot of trouble with a lot of different people. He's been manipulative at times to avoid the consequences of upsetting someone, but he tries to "keep it real".

History: Max grew up on a 10-acre farm in Tennessee. His family raised him to love animals, and horseback riding was his favorite hobby for a long time. As he grew up, he quickly realized he had a knack for exaggerating his emotions in order to get out of trouble with his family. He started doing it more often, and it was then he realized he had a love for acting--for being someone or doing something he really wasn't.
When he was sixteen, he got his first job working at a bakery. It was a calm day; so far the only order sent in was for a batch of white chocolate chip cookies. Max had put on four extra cookies along with the batch of twelve for himself. He had gone into work without eating, and was starving. He found himself willing the oven to cook the cookies faster. Max didn't realize that he was having a legit influence over the temperature of the oven, and before he knew it the cookies had caught on fire. For that, he nearly got fired. On the other hand, it led him to experiment with candles and such. His first year of experimenting with fire left him with several burn scars. To this day he's advanced far in manipulating his element, but he's still only had practice for three years. Over the last year, he enrolled in an art school in hopes of being noticed in the acting scene, and maybe learning a thing or two...
