Approved by Ren!

Name: Maxton
Gender: Male
Personality:
When he was younger, he was a more energetic, enthusiastic kid - one who would take the time to explore every option and interact with everyone. He was much more rowdy - he tended to give a ton of physical contact - whether hugs or punches - and he never really knew a limit to what people were comfortable with. As he grew older, everyone began to express their boundaries to him, and he tried his best to avoid crossing them, but sometimes he'd cross the line and end up getting scolded for doing so. He mellowed out from being an overwhelmingly rowdy kid, but was still comfortable with giving hugs or receiving them, or socking someone in the jaw if he needed to.

A man of few words, Maxton oftentimes stays quiet unless he absolutely needs to speak. Due to having to deal with Rot as a child, he's sometimes overwhelmed or exhausted, and will usually have to take breaks in the midst of whatever is happening. He tries his best to keep the pace with everyone throughout the day, and tries to discourage everyone from slowing down for him - he feels like he needs to challenge himself to be stronger, to fight off Rot the next time it hits.

He was a warrior, as you could say, but not in the sense that you'd expect.

As a child, he was diagnosed with something known as Rot - an illness that infects until removal is required. He spent most of his childhood to and fro from the doctor to home most of the time, and as a result of that had to do half-online school and half regular school. He spent most of his off-time trying to fight the illness, but it soon won over as it caused the loss of his eye.
Coping with the loss of his eye was difficult, but he managed to pull through, but soon his second battle begun as Rot began to go after his leg. It was back to his battles of going to the doctor and home, struggling through school and managing his time. He fought using anything he could - treatments, medications, therapy, painkillers, anything to try to fight off the imminent loss of something bigger than an eye.

It wore him down, however, and the worst was the last remaining answer - he had to have his leg removed. It took him a lot longer to cope with it than the loss of his eye, but he didn't let that drag him down - he trudged and pulled through, bearing the loss on his shoulders like a true warrior.

Relationships;
Cortizo; Maxton's known Cortizo ever since they were children. They both had met in the hospital, Maxton being there for his usual checkup for his Rot, and Cortizo being there for problems with his vocal cords. Cortizo attempted to say hello in sign language - however, poorly - before Maxton shuffled to get him a pencil and some paper. The two became friends over their illnesses, and as they grew up Maxton tried to help Cortizo with sign language despite poor depth perception. Maxton considers Cortizo to be his best friend, and Cortizo thinks the same.

Sans; Sans puts Maxton on edge, mostly due to his nature of "I'll literally fistfight you if you look at me wrong". He tries his best to avoid making Sans mad, as he doesn't want to risk more damage to his horn or his face, as that'd probably be another hospital visit he doesn't need..

"God, you're such an idiot.."
He sighed and laid his head on the desk, glancing as best he could to the stack of papers next to him. Most of the papers were already filled up, but a chunk on the top of the stack were blank for future use.
"I can't believe I keep forgetting to track my doses! What will Carmillo think?" Maxton put his front paw on his face, grumbling as he sat back up. "I really should set reminders... Maybe I should have Cortizo text me every day to remind me. He could text me when he's taking his medications so we can take them at the same time." He glanced from the stack of papers to the cell phone on the opposite side, and debated for a minute. He didn't want to trouble his friend, but...
He inhaled and moved to hook up the usb keyboard to his phone, typing out a message for Cortizo.
'Hey, do you think you could remind me to log my doses when you're taking your medicine? I've been forgetting and I think it could help me out if someone reminds me.'
He sent it and leaned back against the chair, grabbing the sheet to put down today's dose. As he was writing, his phone buzzed, and he turned to check what it read.
'Sure, I'll start trying to remind you tomorrow, okay?'
Maxton smiled before putting down his phone.
