Maxie Infodump #1 - Little known character details from official media

I promised to post some of my maxie infodumps and headcannons, and I think I'll start it off with something simple. His official character bio that was hosted originally on the first release of ORAS (this will be ORAS Maxie focused)

here is a transcript for easy reading: "Maxie is the leader of Team Magma, the team seeking a world ideal for humanity. He pays attention to even the smallest of details, and is quite sensitive in some regards. He has a habit of describing situations in numerical terms. He possesses a cool-headed outlook, thinking that some sacrifices cannot be avoided if he is to achieve his goals." Okay, so first, after looking at the original japanese version of this page,

小さいことまで細かく気にする、神経質なところがあり、さまざまなことを数字を交えてあらわすのが口癖。 目的を果たすためなら、犠牲が出ても仕方ないと考える冷徹な思想の持ち主でもある。 The one word in here I wanted to be sure of was 'sensitive' since it can have many meanings, and the original japanese gives us some possibilities with:

Personally I think (being) highly strung is the most likely option here, but either way its an interesting character trait. And we all know he certainly builds up frustration and tension and explodes a bit like a volcano. Even if he does manage to correct himself afterwards.

~ ANYWAYS ~

Now that we have the bio, let's break it down a little and look at some fun examples of it in action! Maxie has a habit of describing situations in numerical terms. This typically comes out more when he is nervous or stressed. Here are some examples: Ill just take ORAS as an example here since this is already getting pretty long... In ORAS after fighting him at mt chimney, he lets you know in a specific numerical way, how much he fell behind:

And then again, when you battle with him and lose in the Battle Resort where he just has to let you know the situation in numerical terms by giving you the exact lose chance according to his own calculations of course:

"So the great Maxie has fallen, even when battling alongside your team... I shall commit this curious phenomenon to memory. It had less than a 1 percent probability of occurring, you know."

this culminates in a really interesting interaction between him and courtney after the delta episode. While It's pretty clear that Maxie cares for his team and especially his admins, he definitely struggles when faced with his crying admin, and being unsure of what to say, he settles with a numerical quantifier again.

He assesses the situation, and decides to comment on how MUCH courtney is crying. His "paying attention to even the smallest details" trait also ties into this habit of his, and is probably why he jumps to conclusions a little too early because of small things he's noticed. Accusing Tabitha of wanting his spot as leader, just because he disagreed with him is one of those situations.

Pokemon Masters EX has a lot of new scenes with Maxie, and I would love to talk all day about them, but I'll just pick out one here, and that's from the "A pasio Spectacle" event. In this event, Maxie overhears team break members simply say the word 'glasses' and instantly jumps to the conclusion that not only did they want to talk to him, but that they noticed his "magnificent mega glasses" and would like to hear a lecture on how they were scientifically made.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZmmaf9bhD8&t=144s here's a link to watch it, its worth it :D He certainly picks up on small details, but tends to miss the bigger picture sometimes, which is fun because I believe archie tends to do the opposite. Perhaps his mega glasses are actually designed to reflect this, because they work like horse blinders, and keep maxie looking straight ahead (trust me, I've made a pair of these, and you cannot see someone standing to your immediate side). Looking straight ahead is also relevant to his life goal, of ensuring the bright future of humanity, and as he says: "propel humanity to greater heights of progress and evolution." And that concludes my infodump regarding this one little bio that is no longer available without the wayback machine, and I just wanted to share it with any other Maxie fans out there :D Next I think I might tackle the bigger topic of how Archie and Maxie have so many fun contrasts in personality and more. and then maaayyybe I'll feel comfortable enough sharing my headcannons and theories. But only if people want more lol, I am not good at writing big posts :>

Hi Lightsen! I saw you do commissions on your twitch. I was wondering if we're supposed to send you a message before your next stream, or if we're only able to commission you during the stream itself? Sorry if you can find this somewhere in the about section, but I couldn't find it right away, so I figured I'd just put an ask here to make sure!

hi! i tend to prefer people sending in moneys during stream as i have less chance of missing the notification. but I also have a discord that people put their refs in and I can keep track.

You don't need to be in stream to have a commission done, but if you let me know your ideas, and then send it in the same way through the donate button on twitch, i can add you to the list even if offline. as long as you can let me know in advance ^^

Last but not least to mention is the funny Manic pixie dream girl tiefling/fey Iris, who we met. She has a bit of a crush on him. despite the memes, for memes sake, Honestus currently has no idea, and is completely being an idiot boy about the whole situation. I'm sure once he realises he's going to headbutt the nearest tree in frustration anyways thanks for being patient while I spam my OC doodles. I'm all out now :D iris belongs to the lovely @birdsaretoddlers

The cool draconic wings is a feat he got gifted from his deity not too long ago, they look very cool but I imagine he had to get our bard arakokra to teach him how to fly (the arakokra Xoox belongs to the awesome @nostralygos).

Thanks to all of you for the responses to my last message, here is my Boy Honestus!

Big thanks to my lovely DM for threatening me with love <3 Anyways, He's a Cleric of Lendy's, a chronic do-gooder who has a heart of gold but not the best or intelligent methods of doing good. (basically he puts his foot in it constantly when he's trying to help).

His trickery domain gives him ability to go invisible, pop into the ethereal plane, and be a general menace, which he uses to the full to 'help'.

He was raised in the temple of Lendy's from a very young age, since his parents wanted to fight the big bad dragon cult that leads up to the BBEG in our campaign. they left him at the temple to keep him safe (he wasn't told about the cult at all), and then they vanished from their regular visits when he was around 8 years old. (here he is shown above as a kid, teen and adult).

assuming them dead, he eventually leaves the temple because of deity gifted visions of the BBEG, and the temple finally let him leave as he is 30 now and wants to do something to help.

Here is his mom and dad, Maccath and Steven. in our travels we later found his mom had been held captive by a dragon, and we save her! *(she's a little nutty and wild, loves academic research into and about dragons, she's also sorceress, and ends up becoming a dragon rider). Steven was a lot more reserved and a bit of a nerd. He is confirmed to have passed away by ship sinking caused by the dragon that ended up kidnapping maccath.

Honestus looks a lot like his mom in appearance, but takes more after his dad in personality. big thanks to @birdsaretoddlers for actually helping write and flesh out most of this backstory and familial ties for me during the campaign, I am so attached to them all <3 Next post I will throw in a bunch of fun expressions and memes of him because why not :D

Question for whoever ends up seeing this

Would anyone care if I posted a little DnD OC art in here now and then? I've accumulated quite a bit of him and really the only people I can share him to are my DnD group of friends. I'll put a tag for him so you can easily block it if its annoying at all also I am STILL waiting on PokemonMastersEX finishing their round 2 competition winners before I can share my next big maxie thing ;v;
