Maddox was born into a wealthy family in a small town on the outskirts of New York. You could say he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His father was a well known and respected lawyer and his mother a surgeon, already well established. His family consist of his parents, an older brother and sister, and of course himself. They are relatively the only blood relatives he has near, but he isn't close with any of them and, in fact, goes out of his way to avoid them. He was born in the United Sates and his family has been living here for decades. They have lost most of their traditions and cultural ideas, so Maddox knows very little about the Japanese and Korean cultures, however he can speak both languages fluently. His parents thought it important for their kids to know more than one language. After moving to Miami, Mad took it upon himself to learn Spanish as well and currently speaks it fairly well.
In high school, his parents were always at the top of the food chain. They were high school sweethearts, started dating their sophomore year and were crowned prom king and queen their senior year. They both went to Fulton and graduated around the same time with their law and medical degrees. Once established, they had their first son, Maddox's older brother, followed by his sister 3 years later. Two years after that, Maddox was born, and that was the end of the perfect little family. His parents both began to focus too much on their work and not enough on their children, eventually leading to adultery and a nasty divorce. Of course, all of the wealth and possessions were split right down the middle, including the custody of the three children. Maddox and his siblings found themselves jumping back and forth from one house to another, never truly having a permanent place to call home. Because their parents spent most of their time at work, the three siblings were raised by grandparents, aunts and uncles. Basically, whoever was available to take care of them. The small amount of time they spent with their parents they were lectured, constantly pressured by both sides to follow their career paths. As they grew older and more independent, the older siblings were fed up. His sister dropped out of high school to marry a guy she had only known for a few months and moved to god knows where, meanwhile his brother picked up all of the wealth he could before leaving the country to study abroad. Till this day, Maddox knows nothing about their whereabouts. This left Mad at the center of both of his parents' attention.
From a very young age, Maddox had always loved music. He would learn lyrics to songs before he learned how to even speak properly and could often be found humming quietly to himself, a habit that he still carries with him. As a small child, he dreamed of joining the music industry as a producer or maybe even a performer. The idea of creating and producing music others could enjoy always fascinated him. Of course his parents had other plans for him, and now that they had no one else to focus their frustration and lectures on, his dreams were crushed almost immediately. His parents, mainly his father, drilled into his head that there is nothing greater than wealth and recognition. Only once did Maddox bring up his desire to make music, something his parents simply could not comprehend. It led to many fights, both verbal and physical. Young Maddox even ended up in the hospital after breaking his leg in an attempt to run from his father's heavy hand. The scolding and drilling only doubled. His father was set on him becoming a lawyer while his mother wanted him to become a prestigious doctor. After a few months, he began to spend more weekends at his father's place because of his mother's lack of time, and consequently, the ladder took advantage of it. His main goal being to pin Maddox against his mother and make himself look like the good guy. Maddox wasn't fooled. He knew better than anyone that his father had been the one to screw up first considering he was the one to catch him, but the man was not giving in. He continued to get into Mad's head, telling him lie after lie about his mother and eventually, after realizing Maddox was not convinced, he turned on him now telling the young boy that he was "too nice" and would never be even half as successful as himself. For a while, Mad's self-esteem was shattered and he started to believe his father's words, but after hearing it so much for so long, Maddox felt indignant. His desire to be bigger and better than his father slowly became his only goal. He eventually began to guide himself and his actions by this. He started by striving to be the best at everything he could. He never did anything he wasn't 100% sure he would succeed at, but of course, he usually succeeded at whatever he did. Good was simply not good enough. Eventually, he became exactly what his father said he would never be. Loved, popular, successful, putting wealth and power above all else, but all this began to fill his head. He applied for several colleges and got accepted to all of them, but his heart was already set on Fultun.

|| Personality ||
Like the rest of his Beta brothers, Maddox is what one would consider the total package. He's handsome, charismatic and charming, capable of getting whatever he wants from both males and females with a single smile or tilt of the head and he knows it. He uses this to his advantage as much as he can, usually to get out of doing something he doesn't want to do or to clean up after he's messed something up. He's confident that with a few sweet words and a smile, he can get away with just about anything and, for the most part, it's true. He walks with an air of confidence, like he's ready to take on the world without fears or regrets. He's loved by teachers and students alike for being very social and passionate about everything he does. As far as everyone can tell, criminal justice has always been his passion. His love of music has been demolished and almost entirely swallowed up by greed.
He gives off an image that doesn't quite fit into the usual mold of the Beta boys, as comes off as kind and maybe even humble. He makes sure of it by pretending that he doesn't know he's good at everything he does or that he doesn't like being the center of attention. However, with every compliment and pat on the back, his ego and pride continues to inflate. His need for power and recognition grows along with it. He's deceiving and manipulative, always willing to use anything and anyone to his advantage regardless of the consequences or who might get hurt in the process, and does it with ease and absolutely zero remorse, but in a way that makes it hard for most people to recognized they're being used. Having a minor in psychology has worked towards his skills of manipulation. He's skilled at reading others and knowing how to get what he wants from them. Despite his appearance of being empathetic and a good listener, he could really and truly care less how you feel. He could charm the pants off anyone, make them believe that he cares about them and their well being, but is only looking for a good reputation. At this point, the only thing he cares about and deems important is to become bigger and better than his father and be able to rub it in his face. Nothing else is worth the effort.
His reputation is important to him, and regardless of what he says, he does care about what others think of him. Being adored is highly important. Whish is why he goes out of his way to be social, spark conversations with strangers and initiate friendships. Meanwhile, there are several sides of him that he hides. His insecurities. Believe it or not, he has them. He doesn't do well with relationship problems. Romantic or otherwise. He avoids talking to his parents as much as possible, and still resents his siblings for "abandoning" him when he needed them the most. So much so that he claims to be an only child. He's not opposed to breaking hearts. It has become almost like a sport to him. He uses girls for a night or two but quickly gets bored of them and moves on, usually playing it off with the excuse that he's too busy and his school work is of "utmost importance" or he doesn't want to be a "bad boyfriend" because he knows he'll end up focusing too much on his work. It's simply the easiest way to get rid of them without hurting his reputation, all the while avoiding catching any feelings.
What he tries to hide the most is his bisexuality. He figured it out during his senior year of high school when he "accidentally" had a make-out session with one of his close friends. He hasn't spoken to him since, and refuses to accept the fact that it happened. He ignores this side of himself as much as he can, usually with success, but every so often it hits him like a freight train. He's never let it show, and his usual way of dealing is by sleeping with as many girls as he possible can to convince himself that it's only a whim. For the most part, it works, but there are instances when he just can't deny it. As a child, Maddox was a kind soul with a heart of gold. He always tried his best not to disappoint his parents and the people around him. He's always been social and charismatic, so making friends was (and still is) easy for him, but as he grew older, circumstances hardened him both inside and out.But truthfully, deep down, very deep down hidden under the ego and greed, he's still that small kind-hearted boy needing to be accepted.

|| Thoughts on Greek Life ||
"What's not to love" is his usual response when anyone asks him about living with the Betas. But in reality, there are some things about the Beta life that Maddox doesn't like. For one, having to constantly hide a part of himself. After a while, it begins to take a toll on him and he hates knowing that he'll most likely be kicked out if the president ever finds out. There's also the constant pressure of having to be the greatest at everything. Yes, he's good at doing that just like the rest of his brother, but sometimes he just needs a break. On the other hand, he loves being at the top of the food chain with the Beta boys. He gets along with his brothers, despite having to hide things from them and loves the fact that the entire campus' attention are usually on them. It makes him feel like he's already doing better than his father ever did. He's friends with the Beta boys for the most part, but there will always be that underlying lack of trust.
|| Plans for after college ||
Maddox's only plans at the moment are to become a well-known and successful lawyer. The kind of lawyer that wins every single case, regardless of what he needs to do to get there. His fearless and impulsive persona are what drive him despite his dislike for his major.
Sometime in the future, Mad plans on opening his own law firm and put his father's firm out of business

Mad will never be found walking around campus in sweatpants and hoodie, unless he's really having a bad day and can't be bothered to dress properly. But he will also never be seen walking around in a full suit and tie. He usually stays right in between, wearing a nice pair of jeans and t-shirt with a jacket or blazer over it, or a simple shirt and jeans when it's too hot for anything else. He generally has a good fashion sense, always looking dapper but never overdressed. If attending a formal event, he tends to not wear ties unless it's required. He finds he looks better without them. He hates bowties and will never wear one, not if he can help it. His jet black hair is usually styled back or simply parted to the side, hanging loosely over his face. He likes keeping it a bit grown out and refuses to cut it any shorter even though his hair usually what causes people to compare him to an anime character. He's got a deep yet soft voice that matches well with the way he looks, and he tries to not speak too loudly, but loud enough to ensure others can hear him. His most charming point is his smile, so he's told. A genuine smile lights up his face and makes him appear sweet and caring, which is why he tends to avoid smiling as much as he can. A smirk will always do the trick.
