edit because more than 1 person has said something COUGH guys, max's pronouns are she / hir / hys , I know how to spell she / her please ACTUAL LORE > Maxim has never actually fit in. In school, she was always called "weird" for the things she liked and occasionally questioned by police for that same reason. Hir classmates and "friends" like to make fun of hir for that stuff, and unfortunately, she never knew how to defend hirself. One day, she did something I just can't say here lol. She woke up realizing she survived, and realized what she's really been through and what she did. Instead of doing what's right and seeking help, she just...changed. She changed everything about hirself. When she started school again, hir "friends" recognized this major personality change. They gradually backed away from their "friendship" with hir. With that, she was left with no friends left. It was that way until she met another person called Ivan [ not alien stage omg may as well make a friend named till or mizi ]. Ivan never made fun of hir, because of his similar interest. He is also interested in crime. Ivan and Max became friends quickly. The two loved spending their time on the internet. They made short videos that they posted to niche forum websites with Max claiming the username "4UPphantom" and Ivan taking "archinspect". Eventually, they found the dark side of the internet. This pretty much was the cherry on top to Max's already bad mental health. She made about 3 real friends, one being someone with the username "kursor44rat", whose actual name was Curtis. She called him a lot with Ivan. By this time, Ivan was pretty much hyperfixated on crime and idolized some criminals. Max was slowly heading on to the same path. Another person with the username "ZURICURSE" whose name was Zuri, joined the 3 and became friends with them. The 3rd friend Max made online had the username "stopw9tch" also known as Sol, who was also doing the same as Ivan. Soon, the 5 were a thriving friend group. Ivan was especially interested in the [ treading lightly on this topic because it's real but like ivan has some good taste in crime researching ] Academy Maniacs, also because they were from the same country. Ivan glorifying criminals soon got to him as he began to become [ like them? i'm not sure how to say it on scratch safely ]. Max soon ended up the same, so the two decided to actually [ do stuff lol ]. Curtis was already starting to realize that Max and Ivan were becoming very mentally ill, despite him literally being on a site filled to the brim with content for mentally ill people. He told Zuri, and she shared his concern. Max and Ivan ended up actually telling their friend group what they did. Sol was delighted, while Curtis and Zuri were completely shocked. The day the friend group met up [ somehow ] they were all really happy. Curtis and Zuri did not call the police, instead contacted a psychologist but didn't mention their crimes. Max was diagnosed with antisocial and narcissistic personality disorder. Max felt betrayed, but secretly knew that at least one thing had to be done because hir life was miserable. She continued committing crimes with Ivan many times after and somehow never got caught. She knows it's wrong, and has overall tried stopping hirself. Curtis, Zuri, and Sol aren't all innocent either, though. They've accompanied them and done plenty of things themselves. Zuri is the only one who seems to be the one who has actually done the least. I'll probably elaborate on the story after they first started committing crimes, but for now take this lol And I'm actually using proper grammar, wow I know how to spell back to this i hope ygs enjoyed i know oc content isn't really favored but i'm doing this for my own happiness lmao max also has a nerdy friend which is hys second irl friend she considers real ,, she mostly only talks to hir during school SONGS BY : Arca & Rosalía and Mollie Elizabeth guys i beg pls don't take the usernames i'm making the accounts those exist btw es de anatomia identica a la miaaaaa su rostro es de alegriaaa el mio es de agonia i'm sorry the song came up ughhhh
