Just put "SHINRA PSYCHIATRIC WARD" on his shirt and you've
got this one.

more damage)

A circular wave of what looks like fog rolls along the ground,
centered on him. Causes several random status problems for
enemies, and positive ones for allies.

Quotes:
"Unexplained plot complication... MUST STAY DEAD!!!"
"Is THAT good enough for ya, Mr. Smart Guy Voice In My Head?!?"

Background story:
In a rare moment of competence (their last for several years),
the Turks managed to capture a superhumanly powerful... _something_
that looked human, but was definitely not, according to Hojo's
tests. All attempts to determine how its abilities worked led to disaster, though they had a trace of success with the stable reality fracture that they had confiscated from it. Deciding that more
attempts to analyze the thing were a waste of effort, he decided
to give the never-named thing a Jenova injection, just to see what happened. This, predictably, also led to disaster. Despite
being reasonably intelligent before, its grip on reality was
broken almost entirely by Jenova's attempts at control, and it
was dumped in the ShinRa Psychiatric Ward. (Yes there is one.
How else can you explain Palmer?)

Amazingly, her attempts failed. This thing was the only example
of successful resistance of Jenova influence. weeelll... partly successful. Though the unique energy that empowers the thing
makes it impossible to control, Jenova can still try to influence
its actions by talking into its mind...

Deciding a few years later to finally get some use out of the
damn thing, Hojo (with some covert prompting from Gevura) decided
to arm it and leave it where Cloud's party would be sure to run
into it. The thing was ridiculously hard to kill, and if they
did beat it, it was no loss. That wasn't likely, since it fought
like a madman. It did everything like a madman, actually. Even
looking directly into its eyes was an experience much like having
broken glass ground into your brain.

Nobody had a clue as to what Gevura was planning: He had had a
little electronic monitoring device planted in the thing's head,
and could listen to everything it heard, and talk into its mind
just like Jenova. Its being defeated thanks to Tifa was just
what he was hoping for.

Now there's something with no connection to the Lifestream in
the party, and the only side it's not being jerked around by
is the Other.

So far.

And just to make things completely idiotic, it sometimes objects
to being controlled by the writers. "Damn you, guy from another dimension!!"

One of the more consistent things about Max is that he has an
instinctive reaction to any person or thing that brings pointless
or unexplained complications to the plot: Aaron Shattuck-like
inhuman brutality. If you have any of those in mind from Fated
or the original game that you want dealt with, just email me [neovid@hotmail.com] about it, and I'll try to come up with
something inappropriately violent for Max to do. (Johnny of Costa
Del Sol will DIE!)

Creator's comments:
OK, I admit it, he's actually NeoVid, just in the Fated universe.
I have ONE S-I and I'm never making another if I can help it. Deal
with it.

As for his multiple mental problems, the main thing to remember
is that the voices in his head are _really there_, so he has to
talk back to them. He also knows things he shouldn't,because he
doesn't realize there's no way for him to know the things he talks about. He makes a lot of weird and/or disturbing Obscure References,
and unlike Gevura, these nonsequiturs are mainly to make everyone
realize how strange he is, and get me mad amounts of points (you
got a problem with that?).

Max's memory is also comparable to smoking, twisted wreckage. No
telling what'll pop up out of it, especially since he's played
FF7. And this all fits into NeoVid's personal timeline a while
after the first GMCA tournament. So that Clone #777 seems reeeeeaaallly familiar, but he can't quite place him...
