IC Information:
Name: Max Fischer
Fandom: Rushmore
Timeline: Soon after he gets arrested for cutting the brakes on Herman's car.
Age: 15
Appearance: Max is short (around 5'3"), in shape and athletic, although lean and not bulky or physically imposing by any stretch of the imagination. He has short, brown hair he keeps neatly combed at all times (his dad is a barber, after all) and wears thick-rimmed glasses. He almost always wears his Rushmore Academy uniform (black suit, bluish-white shirt, red-and-black striped tie) even after he gets expelled. Otherwise he's wearing a uniform for one of his many clubs.
Abilities: He's more athletic than he looks - he does fencing, kung fu, cross country running, and some pretty impressive flips during cheerleading - but he's still a short teenager with no powers or anything.
Personality: Max is definitely very intelligent, but his big problem is that he thinks he's very mature as well when he constantly proves otherwise. He's actually fairly immature, and could be described as a brat. He has a sense of entitlement to get what he wants, and is willing to cut down anything - or anyone - who stands in his way. He's willing to go to the extreme when someone upsets him (he destroyed Herman's marriage and almost killed him twice). If despite all of his efforts he still can't get what he wants, he withdraws and sulks.
He's very hard-working when he's interested in something, almost absurdly so (as evidenced by running or being a member of almost every club in the school). His strong dedication to certain things means he leaves other things by the wayside - even obligations, like schoolwork. He makes excuses for his slipping grades and neglected assignments, and even when he starts trying harder at school only puts in enough effort to pass with a C although he could probably be an A+ student if he really tried.
He has a great respect for self-made men and women and somewhat of a disdain for his spoiled peers who have been rich their whole life, and will probably remain rich regardless of what they do. He wishes to join the ranks of the elite someday, and is sometimes ashamed of his lower social status and lies about it. At the same time, he believes himself more entitled to Rushmore than his peers because he was accepted on scholarship due to his own merits and not because his parents were rich enough to send him there.
He has trouble making friends due to his show-offish and eccentric nature (coupled with the fact that he just doesn't seem to care about having friendships with his peers). His only real friend was Dirk, his chapel buddy who was a lot younger than him and who he liked but mostly associated with to spend time with his attractive mother. He considered Blume a friend until he started dating Miss Cross. When he does like someone, he is not very subtle about it. He formed an attachment to Miss Cross before even meeting her because he liked a quote she wrote down in a library book, and pretty much decided that they were in love before she got a say in things. He insisted on spending a lot of time with her and helping her with everything, even though she was probably twice his age and turned his romantic advances down multiple times.
On the flip side, when he dislikes someone he has absolutely no social class about it and openly insults them. He tends to be demanding and a loud-mouth with others, and gives them harsh criticism when they don't live up to his expectations. He doesn't know when to shut up and he's been punched in the face for it before. He ignores people who are trying to get close to him unless they immediately interest him, though he does seem more willing to try and form friendships with others after he gets over his failed romances and expulsion from Rushmore.
History: Max was admitted into Rushmore Academy on full scholarship when his mom sent in a play he wrote in the second grade. Since then, the school has been his entire life, although not the academic portion of it. He was simultaneously one of Rushmore's best extracurricular contributors and worst students. When he was fifteen he was put on academic probation, as if he failed another class he wouldn't have enough credits to graduate and Rushmore doesn't offer a post-graduate year.
That same year he met Herman Blume, a rich businessman who gave a speech Max liked at school. He introduced himself and Herman, disappointed in his own rowdy, brutish sons, quickly took Max in as a friend. Max also met Miss Rosemary Cross, a new teacher at Rushmore, after finding a quote she'd written in a book. He fell in love with her almost immediately and became obsessed with her, trying obviously to romance her in various ridiculous ways. She rejects his advances, pointing out that he is a student and much too young for her, but he is determined to win her affections.
He manages to get Herman to lend him a large amount of money to build an aquarium for Miss Cross, which he starts doing on school property. This combined with his academic probation get him expelled, and he is stuck going to public school where he meets Margaret Yang, a student his own age who has a quite obvious crush on him that he ignores.
Dirk, Max's chapel buddy, catches Herman and Miss Cross together and chastises Herman for betraying Max's trust, but doesn't want Max to find out because it would devastate him. However, he tells Max after finding out that he started a rumor about getting a handjob from Dirk's mom. Max is enraged and tells Herman's wife about the affair, which causes her to kick him out of the house and file for divorce. He then filters bees into Herman's hotel room, and Herman retaliates by running over Max's bike, which Max then responds to by cutting the brakes on Herman's car, for which he is arrested.
He plans to cut down a large tree and have it fall on Herman, but realizes that Miss Cross wouldn't love him either way and gives up on the rivalry, becoming depressed and not attending school. Dirk stops by and apologizes, and tells him to go visit the headmaster of Rushmore, who had fallen ill and was hospitalized. There he meets up with Herman again, and finds out that Miss Cross broke up with him. He starts going to school again and starts up with his extracurricular activities, most notably writing and directing plays.
Max attempts to romance Miss Cross again, pretending to be injured. He gets a kiss from her, but is kicked out of her house when she realizes he's faking his injury with stage blood. She scolds him and tells him that both he and Herman are acting like children. After this, he makes up with Herman, they forgive each other, and he arranges for Herman and Miss Cross to sit next to each other at the first performance of his latest play (a war drama with real fire and live explosives). Herman and Miss Cross make up, and Max starts going out with Margaret.
Roleplay Sample - Log: Leaning up against the side of one of Rushmore's outside walls, Max pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He knew smoking was bad for him, and wasn't going to make it a habit, but he was feeling rebellious right now. Rosemary was smoking at his age. Maybe if he started, too, she'd see how much they have in common other than just both having dead people in their families. Except it was after hours and there was no way she'd be able to see him. But it'd be a sort of...subconscious connection, like they probably discussed in that Psychology class he wasn't paying attention in but definitely heard the word "subconscious" at least twice.
Technically, he was trespassing right now, but no one who'd actually report him was still in the school. It was still his school, even if he wasn't allowed on the property anymore, and at least some people understood that. He'd contributed enough to Rushmore to be a permanent part of it, even if his grades were low and he built one little aquarium on school property. His plays were hits. Half the school's clubs would be defunct without him to manage them. He saved Latin, dammit.
The very least he was going to get for his efforts was a date. And before he could get a date he had to completely sabotage Herman Blume's life and make him wish he were never born. Women like badasses like that, right? He's overexerted himself in showing affection for her so far, he's willing to push it just a bit further to prove himself to her. It didn't occur to him that his obsessiveness might be just a bit of a turn-off, but then again he also didn't comprehend why it was inappropriate for a fifteen-year-old to be dating a teacher.
He puffed at his cigarette and then put it out on the ground...and then picked it up and threw it in the trash because he didn't want to make Mr. Littlejeans's job any more difficult. But it was the gesture that was important. A screw-you to the institution that refused to understand him and put forth reasonable effort to work with him, to the girl who wouldn't even give him a chance, and the guy who betrayed his trust. He was satisfied with that - for now. Later he might have to bring out the bees.
Roleplay Sample - Journal: Excuse me? Officers? You do realize that I'm a juvenile first-time offender, yes?
This type of holding cell is very inappropriate given the circumstances and the methods to which you got me in here without my noticing are quite frankly very dubious and I question their legality.
I have a lot of friends in high places - but with my prompt release and sufficient compensation I can be persuaded not to sue your asses off. Thanks for the phone thing, by the way, it's good to have video documentation.
