paragraph:
Maxwell is a pretty good looking guy, considering he doesn’t go out of his way to primp his appearance. He has soft black hair that occasionally falls into his baby blue eyes, and it’s usually at least brushed before he leaves his apartment in the mornings. His face often holds a subtle sad quality about it, almost as if a piece of him is lost and gone forever. His smile easily lights up his face, proving he is indeed a warm, caring person. It never seems to reach his eyes though, but he does his best to hide his inner turmoil.
Build wise Max is fairly average. He stands at five feet and eleven inches and is muscular but not overly well toned. He does spend at least three days a week at the gym, provided he has enough free time. Usually Max is dressed fairly smart. He wears the collared shirts and nice jeans or slacks. A tie is always optional, and his belt is usually plain leather. His shoes vary between black leather loafers, Asics sneakers, and tan colored sandals.

teaching background/experience:
Maxwell wanted to be a teacher since he was twelve. There was a brief period in which he wanted to be veterinarian, but his allergies quickly doused that dream. He was exposed to the profession early on in his life, his mother being a special education teacher. His school years were spent in prep schools, followed by him obtaining a Doctoral degree in Medieval History from Cambridge.
Before applying to Royal Academy, Max taught at both the high school and college levels. The first two years of his career were spent at New College, from which he’d graduated. There he mainly taught Medieval History, though he also had a few sections of European History and Ancient History. At New College he also met his wife, Samantha Lewis. His marriage brought about a career change and he became a history professor at the University of Bath. He remained there for five years.
Recently divorced, Max has decided to change things up a bit. He’s packed his bags and moved to America for the time being. Leaving his daughter was probably the hardest part of his sudden life change, but she gets to be flown in on major holidays. As for income, he’s applied for the job of History professor at New York’s Royal Academy.
personality:
Max used to be a very happy guy. Life was good, with all its little hardships being taken in stride. He had a wife he loved and a beautiful little daughter. He was always smiling, very warm and friendly. He would readily talk to anyone and made it a point to attend most of the social functions he was invited to. He was, and still is, a gentleman. His heart’s been shattered though, and most of the time he is nothing more than a shell of his former self.
Ever since Samantha left him for another man, Maxwell has been rather depressed. He seldom smiles, and when he does it never reaches his eyes. He doesn’t go out of his way to make new friends, and tries to avoid social gatherings if he can. To a perfect stranger he seems rather cold and uncaring. Truth is, he still isn’t over his divorce and the fact that he’s thousands of miles away from his daughter is killing him inside.
In the classroom Max is all business. He doesn’t take any crap, so the students that actually decide to show up better be ready to learn. If you are disrespectful or fall asleep, he will tell you leave. It’s not a request. Maxwell doesn’t see the point in teaching those who do not want to learn, and therefore doesn’t tolerate sloth like behavior. He does try to keep his lectures fun and interesting though, and is not opposed to group discussion. He also supports group projects, so be prepared to work with your peers.
Give him time and Max will warm up a bit. He’s not looking for romance, and will probably brush off most advances. He does want a good friend though, someone he can talk his problems through with. One of the most notable things about Max is that he is a very loyal guy, and once you’re able to earn his friendship chances are you’ll have it forever.
