Alignment ~ : Neutral Good
Behavior ~ : Maximilian Maximus is very kind and is considered a gentleman. Since he is from 500 years in the past he believes in chivalry. He helps women without being asked to help to the point of annoyance. It doesn't matter if it is fighting a creature or helping a old lady carry groceries. He can not stand thieves, or bullies. He does what he believes is right even if others do not. He is very strong headed.
Maximilian can't help but space off. He tends to day-dream about what he could invent with the technology there is now. He also thinks about his time and family. He tends to live in the moment because he know his time here is limited. He is a teenager so he can't help but be rash every-once in a while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Primary Weapon(s)
ID: Time Gloves
Quality: Supreme
The gloves are brown and go about halfway up his lower arm. On the top of the hand it is black. Around the wrists are what look like thick bracers with tubes coming out of it leading into his shirt. The bracer part of the gloves are gray. Inside the bracers are watch mechanisms that allow for the control of time. The tubes are connected to a metal plate on his chest that protects his heart. The tubes allow him to survive time disruptions.
[Element]: Gravity
[(Status Effect) Time Drain]
When Maximilian's punches or kicks make contact with an enemy's body, a small amount of the target's relative time is transferred into Max. Though the effects of a single strike will hardly be noticed, once a person has been hit about four times their motions will begin to feel slow and sluggish. By contrast, Maximilian's movements will have increased in speed.
Each successful physical strike with the Time Gloves or Time Shoes slows the target by 2.5% of their current max speed while increasing Maximilian's speed by an equal 2.5%. This means that with ten successful hits an enemy can be slowed down to 3/4 their normal speed and Max boosted to 125% of his; twenty hits cuts a target's speed to half, and thirty to a mere 1/4. This is as far as the effect goes, however. Relative to a foe moving at such slow speed Max will seem to become a mere flash of color at this point (roughly seven times faster than them), making it VERY difficult to hit him. Even once Max has reached 175% speed his attacks can continue to drain time from any other enemies he's fighting who aren't currently moving at 1/4 speed.
The Time Drain effect wears off ten turns after the first successful punch or kick, returning Maximilian and all effected targets to normal time-speeds instantly. There is a five-turn cool down before Time Drain can be used again. Time Drain does not effect the speed of projectile weapons or Abilities, only movement, melee attacks, and non-projectile physical Abilities.
[Heart Stall]
Maximilian's glove allow him to slow his heart down enough to make him seem dead. It is undetectable unless someone with super-hearing puts their ear to his chest. It can be used to slow bleeding or fake death.
Strength: Weak
Uses: last one post, twice per thread, 5 post cooldown
[Fast Grip]
Maximilian's Time Gloves generate a time field that slows down any projectile weapon within 5 inches of it. The projectiles are only slowed down enough for him to touch it to change the projection by a little bit(Cm's). When combined with a reaction command he can even catch the projectile. Does not work with magic.
Strength: Moderate
Uses:1 post long, no cooldown, 4 times per thread
Fist Fighter
Since Maximilian is a fist fighter who uses his gloves and boots as weapons, his boots share some of the power. His boots though secondary weapons have the same status effect and element as his gloves. This is done by transferring the status effect to the boot from the gloves temporarily(duration of the affect). Status effect has longer cooldown when used on boots instead of gloves.
Strength: Strong
Uses:2 times per thread for status effect, 2 extra posts after status for boots, 1 per thread if gloves and boots are using status effect at same time
Secondary Weapon(s)
ID: Time Shoes
His boots are black and have red straps going from half way between heel and toes around the back to the other side. On the outside of the boot on the strap is a clock face.

AP left:0
None
Items
1. Reaction Command x 4
When activated this item speeds up the user's senses and thought speed in one turn, allowing them to react or keep up with something that would normally be too sudden or fast for them to handle. One time use.
2. Twin Stars x 5
An attack item that shoots two star-shaped projectiles out from the user at high speed. These stars home in on an enemy target from two different directions and are very difficult to fully avoid. They break into nothing and deal heavy physical damage upon contact with anything. Rivals the strength of a moderate ability. Up to 5 uses per purchase, but can not be used in more than one thread.
3.
Equips
1.High Jump - Level 2-
Jump up to 60 feet high
2.Fairy Dust -
The power of flight. You can travel at up to 60 MPH in any direction if you have a straight path to build up speed for a while(You can not go 0-60 in one post or while making a lot of turns) or you can just hover in the air. Stopping and turning are easy at low speed but become less at higher ones, just like they are while running on the ground. Once initiated it lasts up to 5 posts and can not be used for an equal number of your posts as it was used after it ends. Does not technically end until the time limit is up or the user willingly lands on the ground.
3.Air Slide-
Allows the user to experience a burst of momentum in any horizontal direction while in mid-air, moving their body a distance of one meter at extreme speed. One use per post and can not be used again for 2 of your posts. If applicable, Air Slide can also not be used again without first landing on some type of surface and then entering the air once more.
4.Ripple Drive-
A burst of energy is sent outwards from the user in all directions and pushes opponents away by 10 feet. The burst doesn't cause any damage and is purely a means of getting an opponent away. Can only be used on an opponent's body, not as a means of countering on oncoming Ability. Three uses per battle and only lasts 1 post.

"Once apon a time, there was a young watchmaker. He had tons of friends and family. While fixing a watch, he had to look for spare parts that still worked. He found the parts he needed in a old lock-box. In the box next to the parts he found a old broken watch. It must of been 20 years old. The young watchmaker put it in his pocket. He finished fixing the watch and put it in its case so it could be returned to the owner. Then the watchmaker took the old watch out of his pocket and started tinkering with it. He found and put in the missing parts. Then all of the sudden something amazing happened a mysterious blue portal appeared and sucked him in. He was transported 500 years into the..."
I most of heard that story a thousand times, but I still find it interesting. Every-time I heard it, I got so into it that it was like it was the first time I had heard it. I always used to believe it was true and it could happen. Little did I always used to believe it was true and it could happen. Little did I know it had and it would again.
Every-time after he finished the story I would ask, "What happened to the guy after the story?"He would always answer," You have to wait until next time."
After many years of never hearing what happened, I told him that tomorrow he had to finish the story. He didn't finish the story that night, or the next night. He didn't get the chance.
Oh, I'm sorry, none of the probably made much sense to you. I'll explain everything so sit down and listen to my story.
Hi, I'm Maximilian Maximus. I am 16, and a half. I was born into a family of watchmakers. My dad was the best watchmaker in the city. I was to be his legacy. He taught me everything he knew about watches and clocks. I was born 516 years ago. I will explain later. Now my mom was a kind and gentle woman. She didn't work by choice. She stayed home and took care of my dad and me. My dad's workshop was on the ground floor and the rest of our house was on the second floor, which were rare unless there was a business in the building. We stored all our food in the cellar to preserve it.
Oh, I forgot, I live in Radiant Garden. As I grew up I got a lot of friends and learned to be able to tell who were true friends and who is not. When I was 12 years old my mom grew sick. My dad looked around for weeks for a cure, but only found medicine to keep her alive. It was not cheap, so he had to work twice as much to pay for food and the medicine.
He kept searching for a cure. He finally found one when I was 13. We had been eating less food to save money for medicine and a cure, but we only had about a third the cost. We tried everything we could to raise money for the cure.We couldn't get enough so he had to resort to gambling.
He was doing good at first, we almost had enough. Then one night he came home beat up. I asked him what happened, but all he said was it was nothing. The next day, I found out that he was accused of cheating. He knew he hadn't cheated, but he gave the people the money he won back.
He tried earning the rest of the money by earning more. He couldn't earn it fast enough though. When I was 14 her body was so use to the medicine it stopped working. One morning I went to check on her and she was completely covered up. I knew what that meant, she was gone.
My dad and I lived our lives day by day from that day on. Everyday seemed a little bit easier. On my 15th birthday my dad allowed me to work for him as his apprentice.
After a couple of months of working under my father I got curious. I thought if we can make pocket watches, why can't we make ones for a wrists. So I started experimenting.
I took apart a watch and made an outline of all of the pieces. I made smaller versions of all the pieces, then put them together. I couldn't make the watch work quite right yet so I attached it to a strap on my boot. I make an exact replica of the mini watch to put on my boot.
I began tinkering with the components of a watch and tried to see if I could put it in a bracer or bracelet. I managed to make it so I could put it on my favorite gloves. All I had to do now was figure out how to combine the two watches to make it so it worked.
It was a week before my 16th birthday and my dad finally agreed to finish his story. He had gone to the marketplace without me and left a note saying where he was. I ran as fast I could to the way there I decided to cut through an alley to get there faster.
When I turned into the alley, I froze. I saw my dad surrounding by weird black creatures and a group of local thieves. My dad had dropped the food and took up a fighting stance. Before his I had never know he could fight.
The thieves attacked him one at a time and he beat everyone of them away. Then they had the creatures attack him. He was able to fend them off, but they just kept coming back. He couldn't win. The thieves called off the creatures when they thought he was dead.
When they were out of sight I ran up to him. He was still alive, barely. I kept telling him I was there and to stay with me. All he said was, "I'm sorry I couldn't finish the story for you. Now you know how my version of it ends. If you want to find out how your version ends. If you want to find out how your version ends, open the box under the counter in my workshop and see for yourself."
My father fell silent. I just sat there crying for the rest of the night until a watchman found me and asked what happened I explained what happened and he took me home. Two days later, a funeral was held for him.
On my 16th birthday, I opened the box, considering it my birthday present from my deceased father. It was a watch with some pieces missing. The missing pieces were right next to it in the box. I took the watch apart and put the missing pieces in. When I started the watch up, there was a blue vortex that sucked me in.
When I woke up in the morning, I was in a dark alley. I got up and walked out of the alley puzzled. I didn't recognize anything. I walked around for a couple of hours, until I bumped into someone and fell down. They helped me up and asked if I was okay. I said yes, just a little confused.
I asked where I was and their reply was Radiant Garden. Confused I asked what year it was. They told me the year, with a confused look on their face. I told them thanks then walked away.
'Could it be possible, did I time travel 500 years into the future?' That was all I could think about. I was walking down the street when I was attacked by the same types of creatures my dad was. My gloves and boots seemed to react to the enemy. I tried fighting the creature, but failed. Some stranger attacked and defeated the creature and told me, "Watch out for the heartless if they get you, they will try to take your heart." Then he walked away.
Many things ran through my mind. 'What are heartless? Did time traveling change my gloves and boots into some kind of weapon?' All I knew was I needed to get stronger. For four months I trained how to fist fight and worked repairing watches and clocks to pay for food and shelter, even though I wasn't used to the watches and clocks here yet.
Now that you know who I am, and what I was talking about this letter should make more sense. I am still in the future, but I managed to send this back in time. I am still trying to figure out how to get back to my own time though. So until then use my story as a bedtime story.... for me.Love,
Maximilian Maximus, Your Son.
P.S. Hope my adventure here is as exciting as yours dad.
