General Information
Maximillion is an Exile from an alternate plane, brought to his knees after challenging the ‘Gods’ of his home plane, and – despite putting up a great fight – being beaten in the end due to his finite stamina wearing out after hours of intense battle between himself and them. Maximillion laments the loss of the land that was his home, and his separation from friends and loved ones, especially while knowing that they are still under the rule of the tyrannical entities who brought him so much suffering. Here, now, he spends much of his time learning about this new (to him) Plane, and attempts to find somewhere to place his roots, as he mulls over his defeat, and the lengths he will have to try and go in order to someday return home, and destroy those who Exiled him.
The "Exalted" Race
The 'Gods' of Maximillion's home Dimension (one parallel to our own) are 'Ultimordial' entities who are, anomalous for (amongst other reasons) being Humans in their final stage of Evolution. After a thousand millennia or so, humans have transcended many of the limitations they are known to have today: they do not need to eliminate waste, and can consume virtually any kind of matter and process it into sustenance. They can recover from virtually any kind of injury almost instantaneously, and their capacity for knowledge and experience is considered to be endless. After over 100,000 years of being exposed to various forms of radiation that was an inadvertent, but inescapable outcome of the lengths mankind went to advance technology, explore the world beyond Earth, and genetic enhancements that altered the genes passed to their offspring.
It is unknown how this 'fluke' occurred, but even the Exalted themselves (dubbed thusly for their tendency to position themselves as Gods over weaker creatures, including Humans) do not know this about themselves, and many have considered themselves to be Deities, whereas others consider that they simply are, and therefore do not require explaining. Due to their elongated lifespans, and their ability to asexually reproduce, the Exalted have found it unnecessary to associate with others like themselves, and they generally do not procreate, and most find some way to blend in with the mensch (mortal races) and conceal their power.
There are not many who have 'come out' as Exalted, but one of them was named Dawn, who spawned three children (Jambara, S'simi and Exodus), and each went on to spawn their own lines. Exodus, the only of the three who felt inclined to 'experiment' with his physiology (and capabilities), fostered two Bloodlines: Soulcry (for he truly felt despair as he produced his first offspring, as though his soul were crying), and Tepes (an abbreviation for 'Terrestrial Types'). The Soulcry Bloodline were borne of the Sun, mirroring Light and Fire, Chaos and Destruction; the Tepes Bloodline was borne of the Moon, mirroring Darkness and Water, Order and Death. Although their potential was infinite, Exodus' progeny found themselves indoctrinated to believe that this (the above explanation of what they were 'borne unto') was the apex of their Destiny, and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Over time, the Soulcry Clan (as it would later be called) established themselves as rabble-rousers, rebellious spirits and destructive forces of nature. House Tepes (who went the more distinguished High Nobility route) operated within the Shadows, serving whatever Royal Family presided over their Kingdom, as sinister assassins who operated from the Shadows as a 'Trump Card' for the Royal Family, when they needed someone immensely powerful 'offed'.
Maximillion is the first of the Tepes line to be born by a means other than Asexually, specifically born through Heterosexual reproduction by Exodus' son Alexandreu Tepes. Well into his adulthood, and after having done some Interplanar/Interdimensional travel of his own (and happening upon Vampires with a similar/identical surname to his own), Maximillion felt inclined (following events that caused him to feel compelled to establish his own dependence) to change his surname to "VonMitternacht"
