Relationships;
By A S H E S .
Erin and Max's relationship is strained. He likes to be separated from his father cause he hates to heard yelling, he likes to spend his days in a forest. When he is around with his father he constantly feels like he has to compete with his siblings. It constantly brings him down and constantly tries to impress him by trying to prove that he is strong. He always ends up hurting himself, or just causing trouble which makes his father snap and yell at him. Their relationship could be better but max hasn't tried to fix it. Nor does he really want to, he feels like it's better this way for them.

Max will never admit it but he favors his mother
Nora, she lets him get away with alot of stuff. For example he often comes home around midnight after exploring a forest or animal for too long and forgot he had to come home four hours ago. She always tries to cheer him up when he's a "grump Gilbert" or thats what his mom calls him when he's rude or short tempered. Nora always tries to make him happy by buying a notebook for him or a nicknack from somewhere when he least expects it.

Max does not like being around
Cinna, while he does have respect for his older sister he doesn't like being told what to do. He likes doing thing his own way and she honestly gets in the way of it. Never would he admit that he loves when she is nice and decides to show her true self. He doesn't challenge her for the top and just plainly gives it to her, he doesn't really want to be the top dog so he lays low and tries to stay out of the way of leadership.
Max gets annoyed by
Artimus, she loves to boss him around even though she is younger than he is. It bothers him to no end and doesn't like to be bossed around. He likes it when she isn't bossy and is peaceful, sometimes he lets her go on his adventures and explore the forest he normally goes to. He actually favors her over Cinna but not by very much, he doesn't like to be around his family and prefers to be alone.
Ryland is Max's best friend, he loves to hang out with him and has a tiny crush on him believe it or not. Ryland always helps him explore and is more than willing to help get information or help with a theory. They met at school when Max was being bullied Ryland was pretty popular and stopped them easily, they all looked up to the guy and Ryland even got them to stop bullying him and make sure others don't as well. Max respects Ryland and easily owes him.
