Appearance
Maxfield's average appearance usually involves a suit of some nature and other apparel that goes along with such a thing. When he transforms, he takes on the same appearance of the Zodiac Soldier of the Silver Millennium, Nephrite.
Personality
Maxfield is a very serious-looking individual and that particular appearance is rather correct by most people. He takes everything he does extremely seriously and puts forth a great deal of effort into it. His attitude generally is very frank and generally speaking has very little social filters, so some people find it hard to deal with. He's a very open and honest person and ensures that people understand exactly what type of person he is when dealing with others.
Background
Maxfield was born to an affluent family in Crystal Tokyo and never had any want or need in the world at all. He was an accomplished businessman in his early life which led him to become a small business owner of his own company. However, fate had much more grand things in mind for him, as he was chosen by the stars to become the embodiment of the Zodiac Soldier to defend Crystal Tokyo and its enemies from any harm.
His role, specifically, is one of the four guardians of the Earth and Endymion's personal guard. His powers were gifted to him from the stars above and revolve specifically around planetary alignments and astrology. He was recruited into PARADIGM as that is where the other Sailor Soldiers were brought with specific instructions to assist them in any way he can.

Special Abilities
(These are skills, things that can be learned or trained, like martial arts techniques, Jutsu or magic spells. Abilities that are outside the norm of regular humans, but only because they have not had access to them.)
Swordfighting - Maxfield was taught swordsmanship by the royal guard inside Crystal Tokyo's palace, but his skill with the sword is greatly enhanced when he calls upon his Zodiac powers and uses his Zodiac Sword.
Martial Arts - Beyond swordfighting, Maxfield is also competent in CQC, karate and tae kwon do, equivalent to a black belt.
Powers & Merits
(Unique, or hereditary, in-born powers, whether due to genetics or magic, things that can't be taught to others or simply gifted to this person from an outside force. Powers based on weapons should go in the Items. Merits can also go here.)
Crack Driver (1) (You know why this is here)
Burning Aura (2) Whenever Maxfield invokes any of the Zodiac signs, anyone with an aura sense, or even those without, can sense the type of power he's going to wield. Those who can sense auras can clearly see which sign of the Zodiac he is currently using.
Prophetic Ability (4) Being someone who can read the stars gives you some insight into the future... sometimes.
Zodiac Spells
Only one astrological sign may be invoked per mission or per day, whichever is longer. For example, if something happens at the Inn and he needs to use an astrological sign, that same one would be used for a mission later that same day. Each of these powers individually loses to the Sailor Senshi of the respective planet and should never be used as the basis for "Well if we need X we can use the Zodiac guy!" For example, his Aries powers are probably 1/4 of what Kamen can do with fire.
Aries - When invoked, allows the manipulation of energy from Mars, which is fire-based. The following abilities are granted when Aries is invoked, and only when Aries is invoked:
- Fire of the Milky Way: Releases a torrent of flame from his hands at an enemy. This cannot be redirected or used for anything but a torrent of fire. This fire is on par with a level 2 elemental spell in Final Fantasy games.
- Burning Speed: Covers himself in an aura of flames that allows him to run up to three times as fast as a normal human being. If cast on another, it increases their movement speed by 25%.
- Blazing Sword: Creates his Zodiac Sword, which is covered in flames, which may leap onto an enemy to try and burn them.
- Fire Shield: Gives him an increased resistance (not immunity) to heat, up to 500 degrees for a few minutes. He can still suffocate and die without oxygen, because he is not Batman.
Taurus - Taps into the power of Taurus, which is ruled by Terra, or the Earth itself. Allows the following abilities:
- Third Planet: Raises rocks and earth from the ground to hurl at an enemy at around 30 miles per hour.
- Terran Sword: Allows the Zodiac Sword to take on properties of the earth, which tries to petrify people or objects upon striking them.
- Earth's Wall: Raises a wall of earth to block attacks and offer cover. This wall of as strong as any other natural earth in the area.
Gemini - Taps into the power of Ceres, which allows the following abilities:
- Planetary Growth: Vines, trees and other plant life rise around an enemy to entangle and hold them in place. These can hold regular humans for an indefinite period of time, but anyone with magical strength or other inhuman abilities will not find themselves tied for long.
- Blade of Ceres: Allows the Zodiac Sword to paralyze anyone struck by it.
- Gemini's Blessing: Allows the user to switch places with another. This process is instant and can be resisted if an enemy who is aware of teleportation magic.
Cancer - Invokes the power of the Moon to allow for healing and defensive abilities.
- Full Moon: Creates a barrier around a friendly target that reduces the chance they can be affected by mind or body-altering effects.
- Half Moon Sword: Allows the Zodiac Sword to absorb half the energy of an attack and allow the user to take that half of the damage as well.
- Cresent Moon: Focuses energy to slowly heal injuries over time. Cuts and scrapes close in approximately two minutes, larger injuries take a much longer amount of time -- this isn't something to do spot healing with, it's to stabilize.
- New Moon: Attempts to purify a character of anything negative, be them emotions, energy or poisons. Requires concentration to use and no other actions can be taken.
Leo - Invokes the power of the Sun for holy attacks.
- Solar Flare: Emits a massive blast of holy energy that hits everything in a 30 yard radius. This attack can only be used once per invocation of Leo.
- Solar Winds: Envelops an area in intense, heated wind that is extremely uncomfortable and damaging to any demonic creature or monster. Does nothing to non demonic-creatures.
- Zodiac (fabulous) Sun Sword: Causes the Zodiac Sword to be able to emit bursts of white light. This can be used to illuminate areas or simply blind enemies (and allies). It also causes the sword to radiate holy energy.
Virgo - Allows the user to increase his resonance with Mercury, which allows the manipulation of ice.
- Ice Illusions: Allows the user to create illusionary objects, senses, sights and feelings. If an individual touches these illusions, they burst into a fine mist, not unlike that from ice. These illusions do no damage if they strike an enemy, but he may create as many as he desires, given enough time to do so. These illusions will not trick anyone trained in the art of illusion magic or techniques.
- Mercurial Sword: Allows the Zodiac Sword to freeze on contact with other objects.
- Ice Shield: Creates a shield (literally) of ice that can be used to deflect blows and some attacks. Doesn't withstand stronger attacks.
Unique Items
Zodiac Sword - A long sword that has several points of light flash across it on a regular basis. Each point of light that flashes creates one of the twelve Zodiac symbols. The sword itself is enchanted, it cannot be broken even under the most extreme circumstances (GM discretion obv).
Items Of Note
None specifically.
Weaknesses & Flaws
Conditional Magic: Zodiac Spells (-2)
Maxfield's Zodiac magic depends entirely on the day, time and location. If he goes to a different world before invoking his Zodiac signs, another may be invoked. Once he invokes one, he can only invoke another on the separate day.
