Detective Max Lam

From fattwiki

Detective Max Lam (Eddy Changkul) is the former partner of Sargent Janis Stone and current partner of Detective Sebastian Young. He and Janis are friendly with each other, having known each other for many years, while he is more of a begrudging mentor to Sebastian.

He is around 28 years old and described as looking scruffy, overworked, with dark rings under his eyes “in the way where there’s going to be gifs of it on tumblr”. He wears an old columbia purple-teal green windbreakers (to make him look smaller than the others) with a black crew neck. Max always has a lollypop in his mouth, and gestures with it when speaking.

After the events of the movie, Max is shown relaxing while listening to the radio and eating sour keys, free from the grunt work he was previously assigned to do.

Abilities[edit | edit source]

Max's playbook is Gunfighter.

  • Gun Ballet: All ranged weapons you use, no matter the type, count as having the ‘area’ special ability.
  • Time to Reload: People don’t usually run out of ammo in action movies unless it’s dramatic to do so. You’re the master of turning the reload into high drama. At any time during a scene involving ranged combat, you can declare you’re out of ammo. Reload your gun and roll +drama. On a 10+, choose one. One a 7-9, choose one but also take a point of harm as you leave yourself open to attack,. On a miss, you’re stuck where you are; the Director may make an immediate move against you.
    • Escape danger scott free, leaving your friends behind.
    • Rely on your buddies for cover, safely moving out of danger.
    • Advance a romantic interest (help him escape, send him off on his own with a kiss, etc).
    • Gain an extra tick of star power as you deliver a line.
    • An awesome shot after you’ve reloaded makes something explode.
