>>6221727>Maximilian van Gerstenveld tot den Yssel is, in a word, broad. Broad-shouldered, broad-faced, and broad-smiling, just a tad more than polite custom dictates appropriate. He's larger than his father, not by height, but by weight and bulk, a throwback to an earlier generation. Like most noblemen of the Empire, he's blonde, blue eyed, and no stranger to sport or sparring, though his work leaves him sitting in a command chair, which grates on him from time to time.>His coarse features and distinctive scar have led some of his rivals to consider him thuggish or crass. He's leaned into it a time or two, and enjoys telling anyone who asks a different story of how he was wounded. The truth is that it happened during a fluke ceiling fan accident that the family didn't let get out, but Maximilian is more than happy to let people think it's a mensur scar, beast's talon, or worse. Usually, he's strict on grooming standards but given the late hustle of activity, has let himself go a little.
