- The last is on the top of his foot from accidentally dropping his first dagger in it thanks to, again, Jace.
EXTRA(s) :
- Due to the blow from Sebastian when he was a child, he has very bad tinnitus, so he almost always is wearing nose canceling headphones or has magicked hearplugs.

- When he blushes, it goes to his ears and neck.
FACECLAIM :Timothée Chalamet
OPTIONAL DESCRIPTION :
Max very much has that 'boy next door/nerdy' exterior when he's dressed down. Very casual, down to earth, graphic tees, ripped jeans and vans, something he took inspiration from his brother-in-law, Simon. His hair is normally unruly and in his eyes, even when wearing his glasses and he's almost always seen with his noise canceling headphones on. In work mode, his hair is slicked back, dressed in all black Shadowhunter gear and wears specially charmed ear plugs so he can hear his partner or group over whatever else is going on around them. Sometimes, if it's a chill mission or recon, he wears his headphones. -

SECRETS :
- Hearing Sensitivity ; Thanks to getting hit in the head and where by Sebastian, Max's hearing has gotten incredibly sensitive, to the point of it being painful, but he doesn't like talking about it with non family or people he trusts.
- Memory ; Though it's brief, Max actually remembers Sebastian attacking him and Isabelle, it gives him frequent nightmares still, followed with Sebastian sobbing and apologizing. He refuses to talk about it.
- Sweet Tooth ; But not for the reasons everyone thinks, he actually turned to candy and sweets to curb his PTSD, but to also do something with his hands and keep his mouth busy.
- Autistic ; He got himself secretly tested about a year ago, much against his Mother's wishes, but he needed to understand himself better. Only Alec, Izzy, Jace and Cali know.
- Toy Collecting ; No one Max currently knows makes fun of him for it, but he remembers when he was younger, some of his cousins did, very viciously, and he doesn't talk much about it now, even when asked.
HOBBIES :
- Training ; Initially, Max did actually dislike it, but once he fell into habit and saw improvements, it definitely became one of his favorite things to do every day for a few hours, just to keep himself in tip, top shape. Plus he likes to show off a little to his friends.
- Photography ; Ironically, something he picked up from after the attack in Alicante, because he never knew what day would be his last and he wanted to leave behind lasting memories.
- Reading ; Though he always had an interest, mostly in comic books, he has broadened to other things, beyond school books, too and has found he enjoys unwinding with a good book after a long day or night of patrolling.
- Poetry ; It's absolutely awful, but Max enjoys it as another way of unwinding and putting his thoughts together when he's struggling. Definitely will never let anyone else see it, however.
- Drawing ; Originally, at the insistence of Cali, it was used to help him remember or draw out his feelings after the attack on him and Izzy, slowly becoming something he loved and even has made some short form comics.

FAQ :
QUESTION #1 :Wait a second, isn't Max dead in the books?
- Hey, why yes he is! But my friend Seraph and I decided his death was complete bullshit and served no real purpose, other than killing off someone for the shock factor and the fact Clare would have had to incorporate him more into the story than she already had. So much work to make a potential new generation of Shadowhunters less insufferable than the ones currently read about. I also felt killing him off was wasted potential. So, here we are, with our AU and Max is still alive!
QUESTION #2 :Really, that Timothée Chalamet guy?
- Why yes, you pretentious made up twit! But in all seriousness, it was actually harder to find someone to potentially play an older face for Max after the abysmal casting they had for him in the show. Not that I disliked the kid, the opposite, actually. But he didn't match the families aesthetic. Literally, the few images I could find of the show's version of Max, the kid was blond when both older siblings were clear brunets/ravenets and... Hispanic. Which was an odd change for me, but I'm all for diversity, where it makes sense. So I kept more in theme with the books rendition.
