He typically Wears a scarf tucked into his battered lab coat, with a red belt around the coat, and a brown leather vest over the coat. He wears baggy blue pants, and worn leather hiking boots. his hands are protected by gloves of the same leather. He is often seen with a bag of holding of his shoulder, the strap of which he has added potion holders to.

Personality
In terms of alignment, Makkis was once Neutral Good, but his time in Sørligste has shifted him to Lawful Good. In a similar Vein, his Red/Blue/White colour pie has shifted to Green/Blue/White.

Makkis is a semi pacifist, preferring to never strike first, and always give a chance for enemies to redeem themselves. He believes that greed is one of the driving forces of evil in this world, and thus seeks to provide ways to counter it. When he hunts, he keeps only what he needs, sharing the rest, and in politics, has pushed for Democracy in Sørligste for well over 25 years, which is the majority of his life. He is also a follower of the sisters of peace.

Makkis switches between two voices, a quiet and meek, yet understanding voice, and a more agressive booming voice. His humour is often dark, with a healthy dose of Sarcasm.

Makkis was born with 8 tattoos on his right arm. When he died falling from the walls of Atopolis, he revived the next day, with one of the tattoos faded.

Early life
Many Years ago in the Antarctic tundras South of Sorligste, Makkis Pekkis was born to a Pureblood Hyakki name Ardreth Pekkis, and a Valdic Human woman named Feldr.

His Mother would die in childbirth, and his Father 15 years later. By the time Makkis was 20, he had figured out some magic, and even created a Flying machine that used Hydrogen for buoyancy, but

Founding Atoa
Whilst flying, Makkis fell asleep in a storm. Upon Waking up, he was in a strange land far North of his home, and his balloon had crashed into the house of a Shark that walks on land and wears a Suit. The Balloon was a total write off, but he had somehow survived the crash, and was informed that he was in the hamlet known as Atopolis. This was a recently formed Squatter town in Tortuga. Upon the Village Doctor healing him, he decided to do what he could to help the half a dozen people who had shown him such kindness.

Atopolis would soon have Elections. Makkis, along with Zach Castellan, would go on to form the New Beginnings Party of Atopolis. This was a great success, Makkis would go on to win Vice Mayor in a tiebreaking boxing match with Jaja921, and Zach Castellan would win Treasurer.

It was at this time that Makkis began seeing strange visions of Cats in his sleep, and Nine tattoos on his arm that he had had since Birth began to glow. Little did he know it at the time, but these were caused by Exolvonturis, one of the old gods, and a primary deity of the Sisters of Peace.

Upon hearing of Shark's plans to rebel alongside the City of Norvos, Makkis started doing some recon, and sending letters South via Owl to his friends, this would lead to Potatolemon, Maybepotato, Lycatic, and Owensters joining Atopolis.

The Rebellion, and Atopolis's location got sold out by Yimmu-Audal; at which point The Pirate King showed up in Atopolis. having snuck in undetected, the Pirate King climbed a tree and began making his demands. With their cover blown, Makkis knew the fight was over, and promptly joined Shark in bending the knee to Tortuga.

in the Aftermath of the Red Turban Rebellion, Makkis worked tirelessly to negotiate with the Pirate King. Somehow, he sat down at the table an enemy of the State, and walked away with a free castle, Windcliff and it's surrounding lands that would eventually become Port Leon and New Holstin were now officially his.

When the Horns of War blew in Sørligste, Makkis feared the devastation that would come, but ultimately answered the call to action, and travelled North to Carthya City with Potato, Shark, cxon, iiX, and several Norvians to meet the Tortugan forces before the final battles of the war would begin. Potato ultimately ended up staying in Loria to defend against a counterattack that would never come. The other Atopolonians, Makkis included, went on the offensive.

Makkis fought in the Seige of New Dorrasterock, alongside other Tortugan Forces, including several Ato-Norvians. After the battle, he collected several Bardonian Dandelions for safe keeping so that his countrymen wouldn't kill them all, helped bury both side's dead, then met up with Potato and headed home.

Atoan Idependance
Makkis would help collect the funds for purchasing of Atoan Independance from Tortuga, which was eventually presented to The Pirate King in a chest.

Makkis successfully ran for the Position of Consul, serving alongside Shark in the Senate for 4 Years.

After 4 Years, Makkis successfullly won a second term in Office, however, this was ultimately cut short by the Republic's merge with Serevos to form the Grand Sørligstan Federation.

Formation of the GSF
During his second term as Consul, a citizen of the Republic illegally overthrew the Republic's neighbouring Rival, the Kingdom of Serevos. Makkis was torn on his thoughts of this at first, but they ultimately turned to dismay when the reports of restrictions on freedoms of the newly declared Leverosi Citizens started to emerge.

Leveros was offering an alliance with the Republic of Ato, but Atoan spies inside the First Leverosi empire informed the Senate that Emperor Ookami and Empress Elzaress were actually planning war on the Republic. Because of this, the Consuls hatched a plan. Makkis would the Face, openly dealing with the Leverosi Empire, whilst Shark and the Atoan Legions secretly supported an underground resistance movement which seeked to return Democracy to Serevos, and free them from the percieved Leverosi oppression.

The Republic of Ato then declared war on the Leverosi Empire, and rallied 11 Nations to their cause. This ultimately culminated in several battles, including one where Jayant, a prominent Serevosi figure was slain by Leverosi forces, but the tides of battle soon turned, and Jayant's City of Port Leon, which bordered Makkis's Atoan City of Windcliff, was the first to be liberated. Makkis, through the powers of Exolvonturis, whom he had now fully embraced, would go on to resurrect Jayant, much like he had done for Zach Castellan, and Elzaress.

Makkis served as the Judge of Elzaress's Treason Trial. After the Jury found her guilty, Makkis sentanced her to Community service, and barred her from holding political office in the GSF. She ultimately refused the punishment, and fled to Uldarash.

Tired of being Head of State, Makkis endorsed Zach Castellan as the New Beginnings Party of Sørligste's official Head of State Candidate. Zach would place place in the top 3, but not first, and as such became Shoulder of State. Makkis would elect to run for Senator of Northern Ato, beating both other candidates, and appointing his fiance and future wife, Potato Lemon, as his Secratary.

Now possessing an Alliance with Uldarash, and with Lost Creativity at her side, Elzaress purchased a province of Khand, and declared it the Second Leverosi Empire.

Adressing Shark, Makkis, and several diplomats from the GSF, beginning with the words "You don't take my Empire" Elzaress declared that she would be taking not only all of the original empire's lands, but conquering the entireity of the GSF. Makkis swore that he would never let such a fate befall the people of Sørligste, and thusly formed a pact with the other 3 Founding Fathers of Ato to stand and fight to the last man against Leveros and Uldarash. the GSF was able to really several Nations to their cause, but due to the South Sea Pact, could not Rally Carvay, Aldovir, and Tortuga as they had done against the first Leverosi Empire.

To save the people of the GSF, even at the cost of national sovereignty and democracy, Makkis agreed on a bill to allow the Annexation of the GSF into the Tortugan Protectorate of Frostmarch. Thereby joining the South Sea Pact, and ending the war with Leveros. This was unpopular with the people of the Federation, but Makkis was able to convince several key citizens that it was better to save the people, and some semblance of freedom, than to die saving their ideals.

The Grand Jarl of Frostmarch, Rose of house Host, sadly died with no children and before naming any heirs. Therefore, Frostmarch decided to hold an Election, between the two seiormost Jarls, Frug and Temsyod. Makkis was famously the only Atoan to vote for the losing candidate, Temsyod, who lost by 2 total votes.

Despite his obvious loss of touch with the wants of the people of Ato, Makkis was apointed the Jarl of all of Ato due to Shark Greatwhite's departure from Sørligste. However, Grand Jarl Frug was unhappy with the absolute size of the Jarldom of Ato, which contained all but one of the defunct Atoan Republic's 7 Regions. Makkis was ordered to devide Ato in half, keep one half, and find a new Jarl for the other. Makkis then split Ato into Historic Ato, and Atoan Regalia, and was about to begin the process for an Election in Atoan Regalia, when Shark Greatwhite returned only a few months after his departure. Makkis then promptly appointed him.

Makkis would Marry Potato Lemon, a Hyakki, on the 25th anniversary of the Founding of Atopolis. This took place in the Temple of Fesdros in Atopolis.

Makkis Held Elections for his Thanes, a position that is responsible for a quarter of the Jarldom. there have been several Elections so far, and the current Thanes are Zach Castellan in the West, Reizee Greatwhite in the South, Jurassic in the East, and his wife, Potato Pekkis, in the North.

Scientific contributions
Makkis, being an Inventor, has experimented with Black Powder technology, this has led him to refining some Tortugan Firearms to fire further, and jam less often.

He has also made several Muskets with underbarrels capable of firing Rockets.

During the time of the Atoan Republic, Makkis forged the Consul's Gladii: a pair of indentical Swords to be handed down to whichever two individuals hold the title of Consul of the Republic of Ato. Their design is that of a Gladius with Elvish runes on the blade, and an Emerald Pommel.

While it was originally Forged by Elzaress, Makkis repaired cxon's signature moonlight Kopesh "cxon deez nuts" when it became to damaged to use.

Makkis was involved in one of the Archaeological digs that uncovered the designs for Steam Engines, which can be used to power Trains, and Airship propellors.
