Makaris

The Makar, also known as the Makari(s), are rare and powerful mages that in their past unlocked a powerful ability; to create. The Gods condemned them and inflicted most of their race with a curse, and though they have this curse their new shadowy state they're still able to access their power of creation.

## Biology

Makari were once a elegant and regal race of people, and in the Crowned Isles they were considered the wisest in the plane. Ancient Makari (also known as The Blessed Ones) were a gorgeous race: their skin impossibly smooth in complexion with the coloration of solid gold, with their hair following suit. Their eyes were a beautiful shimmering opaline color, with beautiful teal, magenta, yellow, and white colors.

After the Makari were cursed however, they became ostracized among the other mortal races, seen as beings of pure corruption. Also known as The Chaotic Ones, the Makari of modern times have lost the beautiful features that made them so revered. Their skin is now a volcanic grey, and their hair is a shadowy black. Their eyes are no longer as beautiful as gemstones, and instead are a repulsing blood red. Wisps of shadowy energy drift off from them, and move like flames in slow motion.

## History

Ancient Makari were revered as god-like entities for their immense knowledge, and were given offerings and temples built in their honor. The attention to them was overwhelming if not undesired, but they were given even more knowledge of culture in this way, so the couldn't complain.

At some point, the Makari wanted to *become* Gods, desiring the ability to harness the power of creation. They were approached by the Goddess Ebersole and warned to not pursue their goal, however they ignored the Goddess, removing the Goddess from their worship. They worked tirelessly to unlock the power they desired, and eventually unlocked the Creati abilities.

On behalf of Ebersole, the Gods bestowed a curse upon the Makari that made them unfavored by the rest of the world, and tainted their gorgeous appearance with one that was more sinister. Now they live as outcasts in society, forced to hide their face and live in the darkest corners of cities, only being approached by people wanting something from them.

## Subraces

The Ancient Makari are a rare race in modern days, being the descendants of the rare few Makaris that weren't in the Crowned Isles when the curse was cast. Also known as The Blessed Ones, the Ancient Makari are capable of utilizing Light Magic as well as their Makaris abilities.

### Duat Makari

They are both Modern and Ancient Makari, with half of their body being affected by the curse and the other half being that of the Ancient Makari. They are born only from one family of Makaris known as the Takirua, and thus are extremely rare. They can utilize Light and Chaos magic up to Intermediate level, as well as their Makaris abilities.
