My name's Maximilian Justice Powers, and I'm comin' clean. Don't think anybody here even knows my full name.
My dad died when I was 12 in a border skirmish with Blue Moon. My mom washed laundry for a living to support me and her. I was a crummy kid after my dad died, and I never did what my mom told me to do. I got into the wrong sorta people at school. I'm sorry I did that now, and I don't think I ever told her after I grew up. Army straightened me out when I was 16.
When I was 15 I used anabolic steroids for about a year, maybe a year and a half. I was a big, angry kid, they made me bigger and angrier. When I got into the army I had to get clean. Been clean ever since. But I always tell people I'm all natural. I am. But I wasn't always.
Killed three men when I was 17. I learned to stop countin' after that. But I'm probably directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of army men. I'll tell you it was for a good cause, that it was done in the defense of the people of Macroland and Omegaland. But I ain't gonna lie and tell you I ain't killed before. 'Cause I have.
My best friend Grit and I were in love with the same woman, Nell. She's now my boss. And she's married to my best friend. When she asked me if I was okay with her marryin' my best friend I lied and told her I was. I wasn't. When Grit asked me to be his best man I said I was happy for him. I wasn't. I sat there and I cried as I hugged him and told him I was happy for him when I wasn't. I think he knew, though. We both pretended it we both didn't know, though. Sometimes its hard to go back home and see them together.
One time for a week I was Green's Blastoise and another time for a week I was Bulba. If at some time you ever thought one of them was actin' weird for a week, it was probably 'cause we'd switched bodies. I guess that happens a lot here. But I didn't tell nobody when it happened to me.
If I ever told you somethin' that wasn't true, I'm sorry. If you want to ask me somethin' about me, now's your chance.
[Private level 1 to Green]
We need to talk. You know why.

...Well, okay, no matter the reason, that was a pretty big thing to do...
...Sorry about your dad.
[He can relate.]

Yeah, I dealt with my dad when I was twelve in the wrong sorta ways. But I got over it eventually. It's alright. Lots of guys in the army get killed, it's just sorta a fact of life in my and my dad's line of work.
Mom wasn't too happy about me joinin' the army when I was sixteen but it was the only thing I could figure out that I'd be good at and that I could do to get myself a job and get straightened out. I came around and started feelin' bad about how I'd been treatin' my mom.

Vinnie asked you to tell your life story?
[YOUR FAMILY DIDN'T APPROVE OF WHAT YOU DID EITHER??]
I probably already know the answer but even with all that stuff about your mom not likin' it, you still don't regret joinin' the army huh?

I see...Yeah, I get how it can be hard to let it all out. But it was real brave to do it...
[Second part's true to life; so much.]
Well I'm glad ya feel that way about it. Seems like you did a lotta good with yourself.
no subject
And thanks. I like to think that I did.
