Max Johnson

Appearance
Standing at 5’11” and roughly 175 pounds, with a trim yet muscular build. With fair skin and light emerald eyes, Max normally has a relaxed expression over his face, only sometimes replaced with a small smile filled with boyish charm. Max doesn’t spend much time styling his light brown hair, opting for a more natural feel to his aesthetic. Green eyes will scan a room with a curious and questioning light. A shock of black hair, wisps barely covering his forehead while his face has a strong mustache.

Personality
He is highly intelligent but with an advantage in academic studies. Often weighing logical reasoning before making a pure instinctual choice but would usually prefer his "gut" over logic, and often could explain the pros and cons of nearly any reasoned decision they made. When it comes to other races and their spiritual beliefs, he embraces any opportunity for learning about other cultures' religions and spiritual beliefs. When it comes to his academic skill he excels in learning and picking up new skills, giving the tutor his full attention to ensure success.

Ambitions
He wishes to one day lead his own mission of importance and be recognized for what he has done. Other than this, he simply wishes to serve and do well by his fellow crewmates and people abroad.

Morals
He is a pragmatic man at best. Though he leans more to the benevolent side of things he can make hard decisions that will likely be unpopular, and ensure the survival of his people first. If it comes to it. He prefers honor over trickery though acknowledges sometimes it is better to be wiley than to be direct.

History
Max was born on Earth in San Francisco, the home of Starfleet, to Peter and Maria Johnson. Neither of his parents were interested much in Starfleet or exploring the galaxy, but expanding their own skills as chefs! Both of them working to maintain fresh ingredients for use in their restaurant. This instilled an interest in the culinary arts with Max from a young age, learning the skills of their trade and using it to learn discipline and patience. When he started at school, he began to show interest in the other cultures of the universe, due to many of his classmates having originated from all over the Federation. Soon enough he would become close friends with a Bolian called B’kal, the two of them teaching the other about their own culture and learning just as much.

As the two grew up and began to mature, they set their eyes onto Starfleet, seeing it as a way to go out there and explore the universe. A chance to explore what secrets the universe was hiding. With this aspiration, the two would focus a lot of their time on studying, preparing themselves for the academy, it was also when the two began to split. Max started to show interest in Security, while B’kal gravitated toward Science.

Instead of following down the path of becoming an officer, Max wanted to do whatever he could to get out in the galaxy. Due to this he opted into the Enlisted course line, a less intense course that specialised on a few select courses for his division. This meant he spent a short amount of time at the academy, acing his courses before being assigned to the USS Arcadia.
