TalesWeaver/Maximin Liebkne



"This is nothing."

This young man is a detective at the international mercenary guild, Shadow & Ash. He's the eldest son of Widmark Liebkne, a revolutionist that opposed monarchies and was working to reinstate the Republic. He has a slender frame, spiky brown hair, and sharp brown eyes. He tends to be driven by his emotions, loves drinking, and has a knack for provoking others with his cynicism - something that others say is too much for a 17-year-old.

Maximin is a gifted thinker and is skilled in making quick decisions, but he's usually too lazy to focus on any one problem for too long and rarely puts his mind to good use. After his father left his family for the revolutionary movement, Maximin practically raised himself and his six younger brothers on his own. He grew up to be wary and distrustful of noblemen, politicians, government officials, and anyone with power.

When it comes to fighting, Maximin fights with an unorthodox street brawling style. He never took any formal training in fencing, so he swings swords like baseball bats. Instead, he mastered some self-defense skills that are fully self-taught, but aren't based on any fundamental principles. He isn't good at magic, but he has a natural gift for using the power of the wind. He subconsciously draws upon this power to his advantage in combat.

Character Background

The people's revolution cost many lives across Anomaradin hopes of establishinga new Republic, but they ultimately failed when they fell against the state army and noblemen, and their dreams of a Republic quickly disappeared into the pages of history. When Chechel Da Anomarad I reclaimed his throne by using his military influence, countless revolutionists were guillotined. Some of these activists were able to escape and hid from the king and noblemen. Among them was Maximin's father Widmark Liebkne, the famous revolutionary and a member of the "Public Friends," a secret club that encouraged rebellion.

Maximin raised himself and younger brothers through many difficulties: his father left them to pursue the revolutionary movement, and then went missing after the fall of the Republic. His mother left after she couldn't stand a life of poverty and taking care of her children on her own.

No one helped the young Leibkne through these tough times - he was forced to do anything he could to survive. One day, he became involved with an accident which led him to help a man named Le Verrier. Le Verrier happened to be the manager of the Narvik branch of the international mercenary guild, Shadow & Ash, and he gave Maximin the opportuniy for a new life as a mercenary for Shadow & Ash.
