Music: Like Him by Tyler the Creator This is Max, a goobie I have worked with over the past week. some lore bits may be spotty since I've only seen bits and pieces of Season 2, so please bear with me! this kid has been infesting my brain, literally. like, he lives in my head rent free <3 Max is a Zaunite whose dad snuck him into Piltover in hopes of giving him a better chance at life, since things were already really hard with his prosthetic leg. he was smuggled in at the age of 6, so his memories of Zaun are hard to recall. When he was 3 years old, they had to amputate his leg, since it was diseased and would have caused an infection to spread up his bones and such. His dad, being a single parent, used his craftsman talents to build him prosthetics. when he smuggled Max to Piltover, he couldn't stay or else it would put Max in danger, so he had to abandon him there. Max grew up on the streets of Piltover and managed to earn the likes of a food vendor and a librarian for a small library. as he grew up, the enforcers were more on him as they were aware he wasn't supposed to be there. The pressure on him grew and grew and he needed to find a job that would keep them off his tail, and that was when he met someone who would get him a job as an Assistant/Errand boy/intern???? for Viktor and Jayce's Hextech dream plan. He was spotted repairing his leg by idk who, I'll choose later at some point or keep it just like bro spawned, but they pointed out the craftsmanship and asked where he bought it. he answered that he made his leg and they were like "Oh damn, this kid is good!" and he said he was looking for a job. later on, he was invited to take up a job as an assistant and he took the job, getting to know Sky, Jayce, and Viktor. Sky, being his co-worker in a sense was like a friend, so sad she disappeared...? but he grew the closest with Viktor, his main boss. Viktor was like him, but a little bit cooler. he grew to see him as a father figure, same with Jayce. later on, in the small bits of season 2 that I know, After Viktor leaves, Jayce would soon abandon him to go wdo whatever Jayce did in season 2. like I said, I haven't seen it. once I have, this lore may change. Anyway! SO! Max just lost two more of his father figures, being abandoned again. and with nobody to tie him to Piltover anymore, the enforcers said "F(bweep) it." and kinda threw him out after a few days of absolutely going insane. he was stuck in a constant spiral of emotions, even after practically being pressured via threats to return to Zaun, he set out to find both Jayce and Viktor in hopes of fixing the things that were broken. his father taught him that everything could be fixed if he tried hard enough. he could fix this. he could fix anything. of course, this is where things get even more blotty. in Zaun, he would have actually given someone his prosthetic who needed one and would have had to make a new one out of rusted metal and scraps. He would have had to get newer clothes, such as a big black trench coat to keep warm, a black undershirt, a red cowl scarf, his goggles come with him ofc, dark brown pants, and his work boots. his hair would become ratty and a mess and it would grow out to be longer. he would have bruises and cvts and bandages. overall, he is NOTTT looking well. he looks like he went through hell and back, and mentally, he did. like, what would you have done if every person you got close to left you? anyway, in Zaun, he would have had a really rough search for Viktor and would have taken a break near a shop, where someone got him some food and sat next to him and decided to talk to him a bit. The man would say how he admired the rough craftsmanship of Max's leg and how he used to make his son's prosthetics too. Max and this guy, who later introduced himself as Gale Cobalt, would talk about their lives and kinda build a bond for a moment before the man would stammer and say "I-I so sorry, but can I ask you for your name?" and Max would answer "max. I should have introduced myself ear-" Gale would hug him tightly and start crying, "Oh my god you're alive.". It would soon click for Max this this is his dad. his biological dad.... the two would hang out and he would help Max around and give him tips for his search, but he would explain that he can't go home with Max to Piltover, even if Max manages to make this work. he has a job in Zaun and he wants to keep pushing Max further to a brighter future. Of course, Max promises to keep in contact with him and goes on with his journey. In the timeline where the Machine Herald looks like a machine, lmao, Max would stay as Viktor's little henchboyo. He's still kind to Jayce, since Jayce was kind to him and it's like a child in a d1v0rc3d household (I speak from experience lmao). like, both parents are on ok terms when it comes to the child. i have bits and pieces as you can tell, but not a full story, lol! I'll yap more on him next dump
