Editing Dayton Files: Max Jensen (section)

==Background==

There is a gate behind the ferris. It doesn't always take Max to the same place. But it always takes him away - to the Bleak City, to the Crossroads, to the Endless Woods. He's a carnie, so he fits in anywhere. And nowhere. Most ruthless thieves and thugs in the worlds look down on a carnie. Honest citizens recoil if they encounter one away from the lights of the carnival itself. Bloody goblins look down on a carnie.

But a carnie is what Max is. A hustler through and through.

Max was born in the shadow of the ferris. He can read tarot cards. He can read marks in a crowd. But what he is best at are the games. Shell Games. Knife Throwing. And in the canyons of any city - free running. He's almost magic when it comes to free running.

Too many weird things happened when Max was around, however, and he eventually had to leave the carnival behind. He still visits when it comes to town, but in his day to day life he is now a bike messenger who hustles cons on the side.
