Mr. Machias

Mr./Ms. Machias is a minor character seen in the comic "Cinder Isle" he is a teacher at Cinder Isle Highschool during the T1-G1 virus outbreak and pandemic. He is one of the earlier victims of the virus when he is infected by his wife after she contracted the virus through unknown means but transformed very slowly. When he came home one day and found she was much more libidinous then usual he is enticed by her sex drive and unfortunately is too distracted to see her body changing before she infects him during foreplay. After getting infected Machias becomes the teacher responsible for the specialized Sex-Ed classes added to the school curriculum due to the issues presented by the virus. He (now She) is assigned to teach the class about sanitary safe sex practices and to educate formerly male students about their new gender. While her class is a bit awkward and makes a few students a bit embarrassed over all she is a good teacher and does her best to make a safe and unjudgmental environment for her students. During the class that included Gavin and Zoey she educates them on the science of a womans menstrual cycle but when Zoey is caught talking about her first period with Gavin in class Machias asks her to share with the rest of class using her as an example as well as showing other students to pay attention much to Zoey's embarrassment. She then instructs the students on safe sex practices such as condoms and sanitary practices. At one point one of her students asks her how she was infected, and she shares her story as an example, though she is a bit embarrassed of how it all happened. She answers a few questions on what types of sex are safer options than others but is not able to answer everything. When one of the students who used to be a boy comes out and asks about the virus making her attracted to boys despite being a straight man before. Machias confirms her suspicions and admits it seems a common occurrence for an infected to be driven to state of bisexuality and even admits she has felt more attracted to her brother-in-law than her wife. She also thinks to herself how she has already experimented with a few male teachers on the side but refrains from sharing this with the class. He is eventually cured, and memory altered by Alistair Huntington about a year later along with the rest of the island.
