His mythrian number card is number 8: nullfiend which represents his inner darkness from his past life. In a nameless village hidden by the shadow of a great forest, a child was born beneath a blood-red moon. His name was Maximus—and from the moment he drew breath, the world recoiled. Flowers wilted at his cries. Birds fell silent when he passed. Animals avoided him. Even the wind grew cold when it touched his skin. Everything he touched withered... or died. The villagers called it a curse. They whispered of omens and wrathful gods. His mother wept each night, while his father vanished under the weight of shame. No one dared approach him—not out of cruelty, but of fear. One day, a stranger came to the village—a shaman cloaked in tattered robes and promises. His eyes glowed faintly, like galaxies behind clouds. He spoke kindly to Maximus, the only one who ever had. He promised a cure. A way to lift the curse. A way to be normal. The shaman was Don Thousand, the the deity of the barian. And the ritual he offered was no healing spell. It was a trap. In a circle of ancient symbols, Maximus was betrayed. His body collapsed as his soul was torn from it, reshaped into something neither living nor dead—a Barian Emperor, forged in sorrow and bound to serve. Yet even among the Barians, he was not summoned. Not awakened. Instead, Don Thousand locked his crystalline body deep within the void—forgotten, nameless, unseen. Time passed. The war between Astral and Barian raged. The Emperors fell one by one. Nash and Marin vanished. A gap formed in the balance of the Barian World. And then... a child died. In a faraway city, a young boy named Zachary livien passed in a tragic accident. But death did not take him. Instead, Maximus awoke—his soul re-forged and re-born in the boy’s body. He had no memories. Not at first. Only flickers—crystal shards of grief and fury. Now, Zach lives as an ordinary child with extraordinary shadows. But as the war between worlds reignites, the “Forgotten Emperor” stirs once more. Maximus' Barian form is a towering figure cloaked in flowing dark shadows, his body seemingly composed of smoke and void. His armor is sleek, jagged at the edges, black with deep purple accents that flicker like distant stars. His face is a smooth, featureless mask, void of a mouth. His presence exudes an eerie, cold aura of forgotten power. Zach is able to barianbattlemorph to his true form. Zach wears a black sharp pendant with a purple crysal in the middle and he wears this pendant as a human and barian. In his human form, he wears simple black hoodie with black boots. he has long black jeans and a belt. He has a scar on his left cheek and his eyes are purple. When he attends heartland academy, he never wears his school uniform and sticks to his normal clothing which he has been dress coded multiple times. While his dark appearance and scar may make him look cold and introverted. he was actually once vibrant and kind to everyone around him. however ever since his parents died something stirred in him. He changed to angry, quiet, and lonely. However, when at home he secretly has a bit of a childish side to him as he has a teddy bear he calls mr. fluffles. Unfortunately, his parents died when he was young and lives on his own. Thanks to inheritance and determination, he managed to rent out his own apartment to live in. Relationships: Rio kastle/Marin and Zachary: While in their past lives, they never knew each other personally but one time during a expedition, she met him and found his ability interesting but thanks to their empathetic side, she understood him completely. While maximus was imprisoned by don thousand, he knew of nash and marin's disappearance but never knew where they really gone since their souls were placed in Rio kastle and reginald kastle. When they were both in their new respective lives, they both actually knew each other well and were even friends. they often hung out or dueled one another. He currently doesn't know he was a barian and only knows himself as Zachary.
