My name is Maximus and don't think you'll get much more than that.
~Maximus is a kid that grew up in a broken home. His father was an alcoholic and his mother was a drug addict. He found out early on that he was the only one he could trust, that and his brother Alex. Alex was only a few years younger than Max but he was always the smarter of the two. As the two brother grew, their bond became stronger. They decided the only way to protect themselves were to join the local gang but not everything went accordingly. During a meeting, a few of the officers rebelled against their leader and started a shootout, killing several and fatally wounding Alex. In a panic, Max hoisted his bleeding brother onto his back and dashed for the nearest hospital. His brother was died the moment he reached the lobby, whispering his last words to his brother. "Dont ever forget who you trust." The police questioned Max for a long time, getting all the information for the gang. Over time, Max grew into a recluse, keeping his hood up, his head down, and his lips sealed. A few people have seen a heart wrapped in barbed wire on his right hand, some saying that he would never offer his hand to anyone unless he actually trusted them. Now the question in this young man's life is simple, who will ever earn his trust?
