Maxim_Kirshev

You know, some people lead a double life for... whatever reason. Many are unaware of it, or perfectly aware and doing it for fun. Many do it because its a part of their job, and many more do it to keep their 'real' life from interfering with their fantasies. Few do it simply because they have to, as a fact of their existence.

But then, there's few people who're strung across several worlds at the same time...

Now, this may not be what's happening, but it sure as hell is what it feels like for Maxim! If its not one thing, it's another...

Between you and me, its really more like he's strung across several alternate realities that have him, mentally. He has access to their skills and knowledge as a result, seemingly resulting in him being, in effect, a prime user or administrator, when he's occupying their bodies. Now, while this may seem useful, in all honesty... it makes it very hard for him, in some ways. How would YOU like suddenly being somewhere else, eh!?

Thankfully, there's something useful to this... we'll call it the Narnia Effect, but really its just a sort of differing timestream sort of deal. He returns at the same time that he left, even if its not the same place. But we've wandered, haven't we?

Maxim is... unusual, clearly. He stands out clearly in a crowd. His hair is a pure white color, and silky to the touch, while his eyes are different shades, dark, clear red and dark, clear blue(on his right and left sides, respectively). Typically dressed in black(for preference reasons that seem tied to his other selves as well, as it happens), often with a silver watch and a simple silver ring(just a band) that he can't remember the origin of, he's a study in contrasts. He looks human, otherwise, though there may be more there that cannot be seen.

Like, for example, his ability to eat people, learned from one of his further-removed other selves and carried to all of the others. But you can imagine what he'd use that for, I'm sure.

Presently, he's unemployed, a bit of a bum. However, he's from a wealthy family, so this isn't much of an issue. One of his ancestors invented... something or other, he doesn't know and he's never cared enough to ask. Still, it's kept him healthy, if rather doubtful as to whether or not he's sane. Still, he saves a ton of money on entertainment... who needs video games when, with a little focus, you can live it?

Though it's not all its cracked up to be....

There's a few alternate lives he knows about for sure, though. Many if not all of them seem to revolve around a military career, for some reason, which worries him a bit. Still, none of them are DEAD yet, so... yeah.

Fantasy Maxim: A wandering mercenary with a wicked blade. Literally.

Steampunk Maxim: A spark, albeit of a low level, and a vicious fighter, he's got a number of bounties on his head, but no one's bold enough to collect.

Industrial Revolution Maxim: A boat captain, specializing in... discrete deliveries.

Noir Maxim: A private investigator with a mixed reputation.

Cyberpunk Maxim: Another private investigator, and a hacker, apparently ex-military. He's got a few robot sidekicks, too, though times are tough, as he owes favors to unsavory individuals.

Scifi Maxim: There's several variants on this. Most of them are engineers or mechanics.

We're not sure about this one, but there's a vorish Maxim out there in some setting he can't remember.

Apparently, though, Maxim can bring aspects of his other selves to this world, and has dubbed his base world 'Prime'. Still... this realization has made him wonder... what else is out there in his world?

But... yeah. Sloppy profile, I may clean it up or not. PM if interested!
