About Me. That's right, ME! Not YOU!!
Hey there! I'm Max, a dedicated Star Wars fan with a passion for story-telling and currently serving proudly in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. My main character of Max-Tex has gone through plenty since 2004 when I first conceived him at a little-known Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy roleplaying server, RPG-System, and its various incarnations. I plan on somehow writing him into the canonical lore of Star Wars.

=The Character: Max-Tex=

Max-Tex was my first creation and character in Star Wars role-playing that quickly became popular within many of the groups I've been with. The character is a bounty hunter who is infamously known to be the best in the business (second only to Boba Fett).

Initially, I intended him to be typical cannon-fodder in the bounty hunting world although many circumstances have changed that in the years since.

Inspiration
Many things went into the characterization and creation of Max-Tex, he's not a wholly original product. Many of these are drawn out from some of my personal favorites in terms of common themes and archetypes in stories. These inspirations have given the character a strong foundation and share many of the same dark personalities, traits, and overall thematic tone since the beginning. Essentially, Max-Tex is all of them rolled into one:
 * Star Wars Galaxies - My lone toon and bounty hunter in the game, "Max-Tex Payne", where the name and many of his attributes came from.
 * Red vs. Blue - Tex; the female freelance mercenary clad in black MJOLNIR armor. I love her!
 * Jango Fett and Boba Fett
 * Dengar
 * Max Payne
 * Frank Castle a.k.a. The Punisher
 * Solid Snake
 * Dog the Bounty Hunter
 * Agent 47 from Hitman
 * Collateral - Tom Cruise's character, Vincent
 * Dirty Harry
