APPEARANCE
Pretty tall for a baby face, Max reaches just a CM below six foot. He's lean, with a blond mop of hair and crystal blue eyes that got him out of trouble a lot back in the day and still sometimes does. Max isn't one for dressing up and can often be found in basic A shirts and jeans or some faded band tee and a leather jacket.
PERSONALITY
Max has grown a lot since he was eleven but that doesn't mean he's any less spirited when in the right situation and is known to be a real firecracker at the ringside. His focus can slide from one thing to another and this is especially true when a topic that he cares about comes up; he's always ready to fight for what he believes in.
Max is loving, determined, hopeful, but doesn't put up with shit. Especially when that shit is his Dad and the Charlie-isms that come with it. While he's usually agreeable (a lot more than when Max was young) he can be pretty stubborn sometimes. As Max has grown older, he's maintained a friendly disposition but keeps a pretty separate line between friends and acquaintances. Even so, Max still sticks up for the small guys, the underdogs, and will almost always lend a helping hand when someone really needs it.
He'a a family man, and close friends are family. Max is also a great showman. He still dances with Atom during their walkout and still knows how to sling mud at their opponents although now--since Tak and Farrah have retired from the sport--its more about working together to create a show and spectacle. As it stands, the Kenton family have no bad blood with any other team within the League and are incredible good sports when they lose or end in a draw.

RISE TO FAME
Max was originally famous for his publicity stunt that gained Atom a shot at the title against the now retired Zeus many years ago. He has since become known for his advocacy within the league world especially in the politics of robotic rights.
He believes that as technology advances, self-awareness within the automations being created is inevitable and that these machines should be treated as equals. While he has a fair amount of disbelievers and a few people who call him a nutter, his down to earth and reasonable arguments win over the vast majority of people. For the most part, handlers and trainers within the sport--even the underground--take care of their robots, respect the rules, and work well with one another. Even in fights to the death.

THE KENTON-TALLET FAMILY
Since Atom's rise in the WRB ranks, Bailey and Charlie have gotten married. They rebuilt Noisy Boy, Ambush, and have polished up and upgraded Atom. Tallet's gym functions as a repair spot and boxing ring for future trainers & programmers to physically learn the sport in order to better understand how to train their robots.
The Kenton-Tallet family supports and sponsors several handlers although only one other handler has managed to climb their way into the Leagues outside of Max & Charlie. The Kenton-Tallet family operates as a business as well and includes both Ricky and Finn, even if neither of those are blood family.

RELATIONSHIP WITH ATOM
Atom was the first real friend Max had made outside of his own late mother. He was instrumental to helping build and repair Max and Charlie's relationship and give Max a direction in his life. While Atom was like a father figure and friend when Max was young, given Atom's current level of sentience, Max has since taken on a more parental role.
