Max is a fairly serious worker, but is surprisingly awkward and dorky around his friends. He's shy and soft-spoken with some self-confidence issues, and is a bit too gullible for his own good. Very enthusiastic about his interests. He also volunteers a lot of his time, even if he doesn't necessarily have it, and is very eager to help.
Playing the flute, memorization, surprisingly okay at dancing
To succeed in business (preferably due to trying)
Playing the flute, taking ballroom dancing lessons
Doormat, overly serious, awkward, overly loyal
A chronic overachiever, Max has been a "gifted child" since elementary school and often felt a bit stifled by it. While it gave him recognition for his brains, he never really wanted that, and ended up feeling othered from his classmates. Stress grew with his schoolwork, and he eventually had a bit of a nervous breakdown in high school, passing out before a speech he was meant to give for student council. He refused to lighten his workload, afraid of being seen as a failure if he did, and continued to suffer from anxiety and panic attacks until he met with a therapist. He's in college during the story, and interning with Charles Flynn Jr. while balancing a major in American history and a minor in engineering.
