Máximo Armando Simón

Character Backstory:  



1970 - 1981
Máximo Armando Simón is born to poor factory workers in Havanah, his Family was very much against the Communist Revolution and in turn Castro's regime. From birth, his parents drilled Anti-Left sentiment into his brain.
Máx spent the first 11 years of his life in Cuba, he was an intelligent boy despite his lack of formal Education. His parents put him to work around the city, never in the factories. He became well known in his local area as a helpful boy, willing to help his neighbours with their work in exchange for little pay or food. He was always excellent at keeping secrets, it was something he required to be good at, loose lips sink ships, especially when your parents are totally opposed to the Castro Regime.
On December the 21st, Máximo's family migrated to Columbia to escape the Castro regime.

1982 - 1985
Máx found himself in a remote Columbian village with his parents, who got a job under the local (and biggest) Drug Cartel as plantation workers. Máx took up work for the local Clínica as a simple cleaner, doing nothing more than scrubbing the building. Máx would see the Cartels masked Enforcers walk the streets armed with Kalashnikovs, knocking on the doors of residents, sometimes dragging them out. They had an Aura to them, an Aura Máximo found himself attracted to.

1985 - 1988
At the age of 15, Máx joined the Cartels Enforcers. He found himself patrolling the streets of his Village, with an assault rifle slung over his back, it felt great, he felt so powerful. Over the years, he proved himself to a loyal and efficient member of the Cartels Enforcers, quickly he climbed the ranks of the Cartel. At the age of 18, he switched over from the Village Enforcers to a guard at the Cartels compound a few miles from the Village. Máx developed a relationship with the daughter of the Cartel's leader. In his spare time, she taught him how to read.

1989 - 1991
Máximo found himself beginning to read Political literature, his interest in it grew and grew along with his influence among the soldiers of the Cartel, his charismatic personality made him easily likeable amongst the Men. 
On the 23 March 1991, Máximo declared himself a Fascist.
After years of Anti-Left sentiment drilled into him by his parents and the knowledge bestowed upon him by books, he firmly believed that with the support of the Cartels Soldiers he could take control of the Drug Syndicate, cease all its wealth and use the Cartel as a base for starting a New Columbia, a Fascist Columbia.

1992 - 1993
Máximo's plans were totally foiled. He misjudged how much the Men liked him, and as soon as he started planning to overthrow the Cartel he was ratted in by several of the Cartel's soldiers. 
As punishment for his disloyalty Máx was to suffer the full Wrath of the Cartel.
They tortured him for Days.

First, they cut his face.

Then they took his right eye.

And finally his left Arm.

They left him alone for a while, treating him so the amputation point would heal before they took his other. And they would have taken his other arm if it were not for the Daughter of the Cartel's leader. She saved him, and in turn, saw herself killed at the hands of the Cartel. 

After fleeing the Cartel's compound, Máx hopped the first bus to the nearest City. There, with the money he had nabbed from the compound on the way out, he bought a plane ticket to Mexico.

Upon arriving in Mexico, now crippled and totally cashless, Máx did not know what he would do, he could only be grateful that he was alive. He spent the first year in Mexico starving on the streets as a crippled beggar.

1994 - 2000
As 1994 rolled in, Máx was still on the streets, however, he finally found his big break as a sympathetic elderly gentleman by the name 'Raul' offered him a job as a clerk at his Cigar shop. The work for Máx was tough due to the nature of his injury but he managed. With an income and a hot meal on his plate two times a day, Máx began to save his Cash. Máx stayed employed under Raul who passed away in 2000. The store was left to him.

2000 onward
Máximo remained in Mexico for several years as a Cigars salesmen, finally with the rise of Augmentations, he packed his bags, took the money he saved and bought his ticket to the US. Upon arrival, Máximo spent the Majority of his money buying his first Augmentation. A Cybernetic Arm Prosthesis. Máximo Found himself broke once again, but no longer crippled. Reinvigorated, Máximo decided it was once again time to begin plans for the Fascist revolution. China was his target, after the fall of Communism he believed the Chinese people may be more inclined to join him and his far-right views. With some of his remaining money, he bought a ticket to Hengsha.
