Personality:
Maxxie Oliver is a bubbly young man with a heart of gold. He can get along with just about anyone, and seems to have effortlessly cultivated a huge network of friends to show for it. People are drawn to his sunny personality and his positive attitude. He presents himself with equal parts innocent sweetness and the confidence of experience, which seems to make people think that he’s trustworthy, and over time they come to learn that he’s one of the most honest people that you can meet.
Being nice comes naturally to Maxxie. He’s outgoing and he seems genuinely interested in the people around him. He loves to hear things from a different perspective, and to consider different experiences that he may not have had yet or will never be able to have. He’s thoughtful and understanding, and his openhearted nature inspires trust in the people who meet him – which only grows when they share their feelings with him and he not only hears them out, but he often makes sure to validate them as well.
Though Maxxie has friends everywhere, he maintains a select few relationships with some close friends whose opinions mean the world to him. Those people ultimately hold a huge amount of power over his emotional wellbeing, because he is so dependent on a healthy support system that conflict can devastate him. When he’s fighting with someone he loves, it’s all consuming. Even when things aren’t necessarily his fault, he fixates on how to make it better, to the point of apologizing over and over again or making a scene in public. Every other upset in his life is bearable, but a fight with one of his friends is like the end of the world.
When he’s not engaged in any conflict, Maxxie enjoys the simple things in life. He likes partying, he likes dancing, and he likes a good slice of toast. He’s easy going so he’ll enjoy just about anything he tries, but he really loves anything artistic. He’s shown to pursue drawing as a hobby, but dance is his passion. His ambition is to become a performer, and he even considers dropping out of school to go to London and audition for musicals, but he’s prevented from doing so by his parents. However, after all the work he put into his dance and his acting, he felt confident that he could succeed without any backup plan at all, and that confidence is a core tenet of his personality.
Maxxie’s primary fault is that he can be too emotional. Though it allows him to be highly empathetic and selfless at times, it can result in him becoming irrational when he’s upset. He’s prone to fixating on problems, especially when it’s causing a rift between himself and a friend. If these problems don’t get resolved, it can result in a meltdown of epic proportions. On one occasion he stood up in front of his class and took all the blame for getting them deported from Russia (which of course was only partly his fault), and on another he sat outside a friend’s birthday party for hours waiting for said friend to tell his parents about Maxxie’s sexuality. Most of the time he is perfectly reasonable, but when he’s upset he can completely lose perspective on that.
All in all, Maxxie is an optimistic, confident young man with a magnetic personality. The only bad thing anyone could have to say about him is that maybe he’s too energetic, or that he can be a bit too emotional, but he’s generally a ray of sunshine in the life of anyone who meets him.
☆INTERSTELLAR
Choice Instrument: Lead Vocals, Guitar, Drums/Percussion
Rockstar Persona:
Maxxie’s personality is largely unchanged. He was already well suited for stardom, though he had a little growing up to do. However, since he’s famous at a much younger age and presumably without having to work that hard for it, I'll be amping up any traces of brattiness that he may have shown before.
