CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Maxxie Oliver
CANON: Skins (UK)
AGE: 17
CANON POINT: Post series 1, right after Tony's accident
BACKGROUND: Wikipedia, Skins wiki

INCENTIVE: At the end of S1 of Skins, Maxxie's friend Tony gets hit by a bus and winds up with a subdural hematoma that changes his personality drastically. Not only does he now need help doing even basic tasks like eating, dressing himself, and writing his own name, Tony's personality has changed radically—where he was kind of an asshole and a narcissistic wanker before, now he's quiet, withdrawn, and often has fits of frustration and fear where he lashes out at everyone around him. Even though all the rest of Tony's friends basically abandon him because he's a burden and they don't know how to handle it, Maxxie stays by Tony's side and helps him through it all. He takes Tony around the town and brings him over for dinner and even takes him to a party that nobody else invited Tony to, and just generally takes it upon himself to be the shoulder that Tony needs to lean on. Maxxie has infinite patience and love for his friends and would do anything for them, and I think that extends to being willing to make a visit to Eudio if it meant guaranteeing Tony's full recovery.

FIT: Although he's 17 and therefore technically not an adult, Maxxie is an incredibly openly sexual person. He has no hang-ups about his sexuality and no trouble acting on it. In fact, Maxxie's comfort with his sexuality and his willingness to experiment gives him a reputation as a slut around his school—Maxxie ends up being sort of indiscriminate about who he sleeps with, even going so far as to sleep with one of the same estate chavs who calls him "fag". I doubt he would have any trouble agreeing to physical intimacy if it meant saving a friend. ETA: Maxxie would be aged up to 18 upon arrival in Eudio, but he's already fairly experienced for his age and nearly 18 anyway, so I doubt that the change would have much of an effect on him. Other than him finding it cool that it's possible, it would have really next to no actual impact on his behavior, emotional state, maturity, or physical appearance.

CONSENT: Because Maxxie has so much experience with sex, casual or otherwise, I believe him to be more than passingly familiar with the concept of consent. I think that while Maxxie might not always require or give explicit verbal consent, he would be able to read reactions and back off if necessary—he would never, never force himself on someone. The one caveat is that Maxxie does have a tendency to have a lot of sex while intoxicated, but again, I think that even when intoxicated he'd only want to have sex if his partner were enthusiastically into it.

SAMPLES: PROSE

The man in the suit finds Maxxie in the hospital, staring down the crap coffee machine with its crap espresso for the seventh time in as many hours. He's been awake for nearly a day and a half, he thinks, and so at first, when he turns his head, he thinks he's got to be dreaming. Or having a nightmare, rather—Maxxie thinks he'll wake up in a second and be back in a Bristol where none of this ever happened, where Tony isn't hooked up to more machines than Maxxie can count, barely alive, and he'll take the everloving piss out of Maxxie when he finds out Maxxie dreamt about him.

Inside, though, he knows it's not a dream. That's why he listens when the man says he can help.

ACTION/VIDEO

[ the video cuts in on a view of a clear blue sky, as Maxxie is perched up somewhere high—nowhere dangerous, particularly, but he'd wanted to get up above the grind for a moment. it's a nice day. Maxxie isn't actually in the frame, but the video shows part of his legs and lap, making it clear that there's a cup of tea in his hands. it's a nice chamomile. not his favourite, but he's learned to make do. ]

Today's brilliant. [ Maxxie's grin is probably audible in his voice, as is the sniffle that follows. ] I mean, it's a bit cold, innit? But it's a nice day, it reminds me of home.

—Well, actually it gets colder at home, but I've no complaints.

[ he takes a sip of his tea and sniffles again. ]

I wonder, does it snow here? How's the weather? I dunno, but it doesn't seem like I've been around quite long enough to really get my mind around it. [ he sounds thoughtful, maybe a little wistful. building snowmen would be nice. ] If I'd stayed at home it'd probably be snowing about now. Or at least just raining loads.

ANYTHING ELSE?
