With an IQ higher that many people can bench press, Nikolai is brilliant engineer. He is a man of carnal pleasures, enjoying good drink, a good fight, and the company of woman. However, two commitments he makes are to the warp core/engine/ship, and to those he considers family. He is an outspoken man with little regard for the chain of command, and little interest in pomp and circumstance. He is Quinn’s oldest friend/brother and considers himself a Quinn family member, and will state that it is Mitch’s fault he joined Starfleet.
“You know damn well I was three sheets to the wind by the time you asked me!”
“Hawthorne, is that you? Isn't there something else you need to be doing right now, like checking the paint on the hull?”
“Reznov here, go ahead Commander I mean Captain...oh whatever. What do you want Mitch?”
Max is a Shi’Shiross Augment. During the Borg attacks of early 2381, Max was assimilated. He was one of the many assimilated recoveries from Starfleet who willingly began Dr. Throlo Shi’Shiross’ process to reactivate the dormant nanites, then halting them in a state of maintenance. Max cannot contract disease; his body can self-repair at a rate faster than a normal human. His body can process most toxins, either in the air, injected, or ingested, and he has the strength of at least a Vulcan, if not more. Max is a man of few words, but is friendly enough, but much like 7 of 9 is extremely formal, even in informal situations. Some would say he is emotionless but that is contrary to the truth. In truth, Max is embarrassed given his differences to other humans.
His character should sound, dead-pan, or monotone
