Max Balewood

A character appearing during the endgame of Misery of Magic, Max is a strange blue soulless cat. He is corrupted and does not speak.

Personality
Max has no personality whatsoever.

Story
Max was created in the Energy Centre by Kris and Ember with the use of the End Tools, as an attempt to clone Emerald.

In-Game
In the Energy Centre, Max appears sleeping in a tube.

After defeating Kris at the end of North Edge, the game returns to the beginning of North Edge with a Level 1 Max replacing the existing party.

When the other characters return in Worse Space, Max remains in the party, as either a second or third character. This is the only way to get a party of three characters.

Stats
Max is underpowered in the sense that he begins at level 1 and has a rather low Life Force Factor, but his starting Weapons are relatively powerful. Any weapons another character is holding are unavailable during the section where they are removed from your party, but any weapons left in the weapon inventory remain usable.

Starting Weapons

 * Corrupted Slash (permanent, Tier 1)
 * Corrupted Orb (permanent, Tier 1)
