Appearance:
Max is around 4'9" in height. He's rather skinning and doesn't have too much muscle. He has short dark brown hair that's cut to messily to a little bit below his ear lobes. He has dark brown, almost black, eyes that he trained to show no emotion, though you can see the sorrow in them. His wardrobe is rather plain compared to other 13 year olds.

Personality:
Maxwell isn't like other 13 year olds. He has a dark and cold feeling to his words as he speaks. He almost has a psychopathic (unable to feel emotions) sense about him. He doesn't seem to understand the fact that he tends to hurt people as he talks to them. He can sit there and think of every possible possibility that could happen in a given situation in just a few moments, though he'll only speak the worst dark ones instead of the good ones. Though Max is like this, people can still find a way past it, but it would take a long time. Once they get past it though, they realize he's a normal kid who's just really sad.

Background:
Maxwell Burling was first born son to Scott and Mary Burling. It would be an understatement to say they were disappointed to have a boy. They were expecting a girl, and when it was Maxwell, they were both shocked. They began neglecting him once they returned home from the hospital. They would only talk to him to tell him to, and I quote, "Shut the fuck up!" As a small child, Maxwell would throw temper tantrums and act out just to get his parents attention. At the age of 9, his parents had an other child. Emily. They then began to completely ignore Max. A few years later, after Max decided to give up and just be a depressed emotionless little boy, he did something that made his parents put him up for adoption. He was at school and drew a picture of himself killing his parents. He then waited until his teacher was with another student to get up and go to the teachers desk. The teacher, Ms. Boswell, had two giant pins on the desk that the students would place their passes on. Max went up and slammed his hands right onto the pins, going straight through the palm of each of his hands. His mother and father had had enough and went to court where Maxwell was placed into the system. Maxwell just says to himself that "They just didn't want me. I didn't want them either."

How they became a orphan:
Parents put him up for adoption at 11 year old.
