- "You've been ROOOOAD-KIIIIILLED!!!"
The charismatic host of hit game show You've Been Roadkilled!. Though he goes by Max Celerator, this is not his real name. He is known for his friendly nature, love of cars, and love of hitting people with cars.
Character[]
Appearance[]
He has wild brown hair, normally gelled into an extreme pompadour. He has a wide smile with large, white teeth. He is quite broad-shouldered, wide-chested and thick-eyebrowed.
On the show, he wears a leather jacket with a spiky black collar. Beneath it, he wears an off-white shirt with a shiny chrome-effect tie. He also wears leather pants and leather boots, with fingerless black gloves.
Personality[]
Despite his appearance and proclivities, he is one of the friendliest people you could hope to meet - unless you cross him. He has a black-and-white morality that extremely skews his judgement, and he either sees somebody as a friend or an enemy, with very little space in between.
On air, he is a boisterous bundle of energy and challenge - he acts like he lives, breathes and sweats charisma. Off air, he is either a compassionate over-enthusiastic friend or a spiteful, snarky foe. While he is not narcissistic or self-obsessed, he can be attention-demanding and clingy.
Biography[]
Very little is known about him, apart from the fact that as a child, his parents were forced at gunpoint to run him over by an unidentified carjacker. Though his father managed to swerve at the last minute, the car collided with a telephone pole, killing both parents upon impact and causing the pole to topple onto the boy, badly injuring him. He survived with enormous physical and mental scars from the experience.
This marked the formation of his extremely polar morality, and he became convinced that human beings deserve everything they ask for. His own near-death experience had humbled him, so therefore any good-hearted human being would accept this experience and any bad-hearted human being would deserve it.
Even going so far as describing being hit by a car as 'having your very being weighed by the hands of god', he created his game show with nothing but the obscene amounts of money left to him by his parents and his own blood, sweat and tears. The rest is octane-fueled, amnesia-clouded, morally-split history.
Relationships[]
Brash Butchly[]
- "Bash, you're a laugh riot! How'd you do your hair, kiss an electric fence?"
Celerator and Butchly are long-time drinking buddies, having been guests on each others' shows. They met when Brash scratched Celerator's vehicle in a car park and, after a long and violent brawl, the two forgot what they'd been fighting about and started entertainment's most charismatic, unhinged friendship. They share friendly jabs back and forth, and both get away with saying things to the other that would get anyone else slapped.
The Stuntmen[]
- "Diggs, I need - stop screaming, it's just me, your door was unlocked - I need those reports on my desk."
Max is very fond of his three colour-coordinated stuntmen, Digby, Bigby and Rigby. He refers to them by affectionate nicknames and is unhealthily prepared to drop everything if one of them needs help. It's not uncommon for one to find him in their houses uninvited, purely because he was thinking about them and needed to be nearby.
Trivia[]
- He is the head of a small quasi-religious organisation known as the Chalice of the Chrome Queen that worships cars as tangible embodiments of a great mechanical deity.
- He is a frequent guest on the shows 'Car Thing' and 'You Don't Want This Prize'.
