## History

### Origin

*See also: History of MAC C*

The founders of Apple, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak decided to keep the legacy of their products alive, even if Earth was destroyed by nuclear war. They had secret access to a laboratory that could form life as well as knowledge of the Falkirk Portal. They created their chosen lifeforms, **Mac Guys**, to worship current and former Apple products and sent them through the Falkirk Portal, with knowledge of the portal and how to use it, as well as basic medieval-grade survival, farming and building skills. They were given multiple Mac Computers and the Golden MacBook, a mystical item that would supply them with new Mac Computers and power all their Mac Computers.

### Before Invasion

*Main article: Mac Guy Empire*

The **Mac Guys** chose the forest resided in by The Witch and The Troll as the location for an empire called The Mac Guy Empire as it was close to the portal. They first built a fence around this area, taking wood for it from the centre of the forest, and then cleared three-quarters of the remaining trees, using the leftover wood to create their houses and divisions between them to make fields. 1/4 of the forest was kept for wood farming. They also expanded out to form several outposts of civilisation known as The Mac Earldoms, this whole section of claimed land was surrounded by a second fence enclosing a country-sized area which became the Mac Earldoms. They also constructed the now destroyed Mac Guy's Castle for the residence of the electoral monarch of the empire.

The King Mac Guy of the empire was firstly Mac Guy8, and then Mac Guy3135.

Sometime after the Empire's founding, the Earldoms fell due to the complex reproductive nature of Mac Guys and the empire fell back to the inner fence, leading to the decay of the outer one. This left multiple castles and buildings abandoned, which would be seen later as structures such as The Dipo Castle.

### Invasion of the PC Guys

*Main article: Invasion of the PC Guys*

The PC Guys, after their native planet was contaminated by large amounts of methane in the atmosphere, decided to flee to another planet. They chose to invade MAC C, as they wished to get rid of the Mac Guy Empire. They decided to invade the empire instead of some unclaimed land to immediately dispose of an obvious threat and succeeded in doing so.

### Between Invasion and The Coalition

The Mac Guy Empire was defeated by the PC Guys, and the Mac Guys were exiled to the northwestern corner of the empire to make way for The PC Guy Empire. in an area known as the Mac Guy's Forest, with only 15,000 Mac Guys remaining, at a density of 1,363 km2. The PC Guys used some of the Mac Guys buildings and infrastructure to grow, produce and store food, as well as for defence and general transportation. During this time the PC Guy Empire

### Peasant and Mac Guy Coalition

*Main article: Peasant and Mac Guy Coalition*

Around 3 years after Invasion, the Mac Guys were asked by Mac Guy3135, Dilys, Passemafuser and Anon A Mousse if they wished to be involved in a siege of The Non Apple Castle. After a lot of plotting and negotiation, the Mac Guys engaged in this battle. They, along with the Peasant PC Guys, were victorious and took the empire back from the PC Guys. As a result, the Mac Guys formed a coalition with the Human Protagonists, Human Prisoners and Peasant PC Guys. They ran a successful coalition for 2.5 years.

### Second Empire

*Main article: Second Mac Guy Empire*

The Peasant and Mac Guy Coalition was destroyed by the PC Guys after they found out how to reproduce without The Copy and Paste Machines. The Mac Guys, therefore, decided to move away from the New PC Guy Empire and construct a new empire to the southeast. This was called The Second Mac Guy Empire and was a much larger, more powerful, and more populated empire than the first.

## Biology

### Appearance

Mac Guys consist of a body, a head and four limbs.

The body is a white spheroid shape with three green ovals on it, the body contains all the organs of a Mac Guy except the brain. Also contained within the body is an air-filled cavity that lightens the Mac Guy to around 70 kilograms. Two fluid-filled, connected sacs are also contained within the body. the fluid in these sacs is pumped between them with a heart-like organ to provide enough stability to stand. This is due to the small feet of the Mac Guy. Finally, the body contains all the muscles required to move a Mac Guy's limbs.

The limbs are four thin black structures made of an extremely strong protein. They are hollow to allow tendons to move them, which are powered by the muscles within the body. The limbs are two arms and two legs, however, they are of similar length, construction, thickness, and strength. This means a Mac Guy has stronger arms than the average human, but weaker legs. A Mac guy overall is therefore slightly weaker than a human, much weaker than a PC Guy and significantly weaker than strong characters such as Dilys.

The head is mostly another air-filled cavity that makes the Mac Guy bottom-heavy, again for stability. Also taking up a significant portion of the head are a Mac Guy's two eyes, which are much larger than a human's and allow a Mac Guy to see in even the dimmest of lights. The nose is also enlarged, to allow Mac Guy to sniff out any toxins that may harm them. they are able to sense any dangerous chemicals using this nose. Finally in the head is a Mac Guy's mouth and human-sized brain.

### Sexes and Reproduction

Female Mac Guys are the dominant sex, being 170cm tall, compared to 163 in males. They are also stronger, with their limbs being about as strong as a human leg. Female Mac Guys spent much of their time trying to populate the empire.

Mac Guys reproduce naturally unlike the PC Guys, but unlike humans, need 3 males to impregnate a female, and have about 3 males for every female. This makes breeding incredibly difficult and it is common for male Mac Guys to have multiple partners. Also, as a result, permanent bonds such as marriage between Mac Guys are uncommon and adultery is much more accepted within Mac Guys than among humans.

Mac Guys mature around three times quicker than humans, taking 5 Earth years to reach sexual maturity. There is a consistent 20-year gap between generations. Mac Guys take 6 Earth months from fertilisation to birth. Twins are uncommon.

It is notable that the complicated reproductive system of Mac Guys was the main factor in the fall of the Mac Earldoms.

### Generations and ageing

Originally, Mac Guys were split into three distinct generations, each one more populous than the last, a first generation, a second generation and a third generation. The first generation was created at around 20 years of age at the time of the founding, the second generation was born soon after the founding, and the third generation was born around 30 years after that, almost directly before the Invasion of the PC Guys.

These generations were decimated by the PC Guys as the only generation of Mac Guys that were not wiped out by genocide was the second generation. A fourth generation was born in the Mac Guy Forest and was around 2.5 human years, 9 Mac Guy years of age at the time of the start of the Coalition. They reached sexual maturity by the fall of the Coalition and were a successful generation, however, they were insignificant compared to the number of second-generation Mac Guys created artificially by the Copy and Paste Machines at the start of the Second Mac Guy Empire.

A Mac Guy has yet to die of old age, however, unlike PC Guys, they do have a finite lifespan. Also unlike PC Guys, Mac Guys age, they become slimmer through age due to the large air-filled cavity in their bodies losing elasticity through age. Their three ovals also change from red to yellow, to green, to blue and finally purple. Mac Guys are minors at red, and at peak strength and endurance at the green. Finally, their hair turns grey at around age 60.

It is therefore easy to tell the age of a Mac Guy from the ovals:

* Red - 0-5 Human Years (At this age Mac Guys are shorter and plumper)
* Yellow - 5-15 Human Years (At this age Mac Guys are full height and maturity)
* Green - 15-45 Human Years (At this age Mac Guys reach peak strength)
* Blue - 45-60 Human Years
* Purple - 60+ Human Years (At this age grey hair develops and Mac Guys are thinner)

### Comparison to PC Guys

When compared to a PC Guy, a Mac Guy has the significant biological advantage of having fully developed legs, as the PC Guys do not have legs due to Angus running out of chalkboard when he designed them. Mac Guys are therefore able to outrun PC Guys at full speed and even outrun most humans. Mac Guys have the disadvantage of having shorter arms and a worse grip than PC Guys, who have an extremely strong grip thanks to their lego-like clasp hands designed for holding on to heavy items such as PCs. Mac Guys, however, have to rely on holding items within their wrist or balancing them on their hands. This makes clasping items such as swords more difficult, though not impossible.

## Governing

### Mac Guy Empire

*Main article: Mac Guy Empire*

The Mac Guy Empire was governed by a democratic leader, known as King Mac Guy, who ruled before they died, stood down, or were incapacitated. King Mac Guys were voted in using the Single Transferable Vote, along with a Vice King, a second In command, who ruled when the King was away and would immediately be a caretaker king when a new king was being elected In the event of a King passing. King Mac Guys were given optional democratic elections for advisors, which were Mac Guys who had a great weighting in the King's decision-making.

### Mac Guy Forest

The Mac Guy Forest lacked an official form of governance, however, it was generally agreed that Mac Guy3132, the Vice King at the time of Invasion, would lead the group of Mac Guys in the forest with a group of Mac Guys of Importance. This was undertaken in the Mac Guy of Importance Shack, the largest building in the Mac Guy Forest. It was constructed in the thickest and tallest part of the forest soon after Invasion to avoid the PC Guys spotting it.

### Peasant and Mac Guy Coalition

This coalition had the same governance as the original Mac Guy Empire and was led for its entire duration by a King Mac Guy and a Vice King, again there was an option to elect advisors, which was undertaken. The only difference however was the Imperial Military, consisting mostly of Human Prisoners and led by Generals. This was the most unstable governance in Mac Guy history.

### Second Mac Guy Empire

The Second Mac Guy Empire had completely new governance, the most modern and advanced one ever seen in The Adventure Series Universe outside Earth. The position of King was replaced by the position of President, which had the same powers as the king. Like Kings, Presidents are democratically elected and serve for life unless they die, stand down, or are incapacitated. Instead of being advised by advisers, the President is advised by a Prime Minister, themselves advised by Parliament, of which the Prime Minister is the leader. To become Prime Minister, a Mac Guy must become the leader of the largest party of the Parliament, which are voted in during annual general elections, in which Mac Guys voted for their favourite party using the single transferable vote. Parliament can also overthrow the President with a Vote of No Confidence, in which 67% of the Members of Parliament must vote to replace the President. Prime Ministers and Members of Parliament cannot be overthrown, even by the President, however, they can step down or lose general elections.

## Technology

The Mac Guys were only ever given medieval-grade technology, with the notable exception of Mac Computers and the Golden MacBook that powered them. This put the empire at odds with PC Guys, which have mainly Enlightenment and Industrial Age grade technology, as well as select advance contemporary, or even futuristic manufacturing and PC-creating skills, which they learned from the very intelligent Human Prisoners. It also put them at a significant disadvantage to Linux Guys, who possess mainly inter-war technology, though not the skills to manufacture PCs and PC Parts.

### Weapons

Mac Guys are at a significant disadvantage over PC and Linux Guys due to the fact their weaponry is the most primitive of the three empires. Mac Guys only have access to bows, crossbows, swords, spears, maces, axes, various medieval battle weaponry and various siege engines such as trebuchets and siege towers.

* The PC Guys however have access to all of these as well as muskets, cannons and gunpowder.
* The Linux Guys are even more advanced as they have access to more modern firearms and high explosives.
* Humans are the most advanced as they have access to autocannons, homing missiles and atomic weaponry.

This means the Mac Guys frequently had to take advantage of psychological warfare, guerrilla warfare, chemical warfare using methane, tricks, disguise, espionage, and sheer numbers to outwit the other two empires.

### Architecture

The Mac Guys only had access to simple building materials. The vast majority of the buildings constructed by the Mac Guys are made of wood, mainly oak and spruce but not birch, mud, straw and rope. Prestigious buildings such as The Mac Guy Castle were constructed from stone. The same building materials and techniques were carried on to the Second Mac Guy Empire, however, scaled up and more intricate.

### Food

The Mac Guys had a simple diet consisting of Meat from the MAC C Farm Animal, vegetables, fried, berries, bread, beer and cider. The food was produced close to the centre of the empire, in an area that eventually became the main area of the Peasant's Fields under The PC Guy Empire.

The bread was created in windmills and watermills, due to the Mac Guy's lack of electricity beyond The Golden MacBook. Beer was brewed in breweries in the same area, and also in this area were butchers and blacksmiths.

### Transportation

The Mac Guys mainly used horses and carts to travel around during the days of The Mac Guy Empire, this is contrary to PC Guys, who mostly used rail transportation to travel around their empire. The horses were stolen from Earth and carts were created by the Mac Guys.

The Mac Guys constructed a vast network of paths linking the Mac Earldoms with the Empire. Mac Guys were notable for creating paths quickly and efficiently.

The Gorge of Eternal Peril was not a hindrance to the Mac Guys, due to a strong and wide bridge being constructed over it in front of the Mac Guy Castle. This bridge, along with its associated path and gatehouse, was destroyed through an explosion by the PC Guys after Invasion of the PC Guys. This was done to prevent potential invaders and completely seal off the Empire from MAC C. The Eastern Grasslands were also accessible via bridges that bypassed the Bridge of Death. These were lost in the great fire that was set by the PC Guys after Invasion that destroyed most of the Peasant's Houses. It is unknown if the PC Guys ever knew of these bridges.

### Progression

During the Peasant and Mac Coalition, the Mac Guys managed to learn from the Human Prisoners and progress rapidly in technology, learning how to use important inventions such as gunpowder and electricity.

## Residences

*Main articles: Mac Guy's Castle, The Apple Castle and The Non Apple Castle*

The Mac Empire consisted of very simple, one-roomed farming houses which became The Peasant's Fields. The only other buildings in this empire were functional with the exception of Mac Guy's Castle, a small, rectangular castle with round turrets. This castle had four main spaces and was the residence of the King, Vice King and their families and advisors.

During the Peasant and Mac Guy Coalition, a large quantity of Mac Guys lived in The Apple Castle which was the converted version of The Non Apple Castle, itself an extended version of the Second PC Guy Castle. This castle was enormous and was converted to suit the needs of the Mac Guys, it was so large the vast majority of the castle was converted into regular apartments for singular Mac Guys on Mezzanine levels.

The Second Mac Guy Empire is headquartered in another castle, constructed in the new empire in granite by the Mac Guys and Peasant PC Guys. This castle is even larger than The Non Apple Castle and can house thousands of Mac Guys. it also contains Parliament.

## Constructions

*See also: Mac Guy Empire, Second Mac Guy Empire and Mac Earldoms*

The Mac Guys have constructed the following structures within The PC Guy Empire:

* Border Fences
* Peasant's Houses
* Peasant's Fields
* Mac Earldoms
* Roads and Roundabouts
* Central Peasant's Farm
* Earldom Pathways

The Mac Guys constructed the Mac Guy of Importance Shack, and other primitive buildings while living in The Mac Guy Forest.

They, and the Peasant PC Guys, are also responsible for the construction of the Second Mac Guy Empire.

## Beliefs and Interests

Like the PC and Linux Guys, the Mac Guys are secular, with no religious Mac Guys shown to exist, nor any policy on religion or lack thereof. This means the Mac Guy Empire lacks any sort of structure or area dedicated to thoughts or beliefs. They do however look up to the founders and key figures of Apple, as clearly demonstrated in the names of the Mac Earldoms, which are all named after key figures and products in Apple's history.

The Mac Guy's main interest is also therefore Apple, however, they also believe in a positive society for all, though have different methods of achieving such goals, as seen with the multiple Mac Guy Political Parties as seen in the Second Mac Guy Empire.

## Diplomacy

### Alliances

The Mac Guys did not form any large rivalries for the first 40 or so years of their existence. They had a cohabiting agreement with The Witch and were strongly allied with Seymour for the entire existence of The Mac Guy Empire. In The Adventure To Retake the PC Guy Empire, the Mac Guys form alliances with the Human Protagonists and the Peasant PC Guys, which they retain until the present day, despite the fall of the Peasant and Mac Guy Coalition. It is likely that in the future the Mac Guys align themselves with more humans such as Human Prisoners and other groups, especially if they share the goals of the final destruction of the PC and Linux Guys.

### Rivalries

The Mac Guys have formed many long-term rivalries with other groups, the longest standing rivalry is the one with the PC Guys as the PC Guys attempted to invade The Mac Guy Empire twice, once upon their creation and again in the successful Invasion of the PC Guys. The PC Guys have killed thousands of Mac Guys over the rein of the PC Guy Empire. and have constantly oppressed and imprisoned Mac Guys, for example by confining them to the Mac Guy Forest. The PC Guys also act carelessly on Earth, which can potentially lead to the end of MAC C. They have a minor rivalry with The Troll, however, do not bother him as he is also a hindrance to the PC Guys, and instead, just build alternative bridges when they are in power. Finally, they have a large rivalry with the Linux Guys for their success with The PC and Linux Guy Coalition.
