Name: Makai
Gender: Male
Age: 180 (driders only mature at 100)
Race: Drider
Occupation: Unemployed
Skills: Makai has many useful skills, spinning web, poisonous teeth and Claws. As for mental abilities Makai can project a hard illusion of himself as a human, any human. This allows him to remain unseen and invisible to those around him, often being more than a few feet, sometimes not even in the same building as his projection as he himself remains safe in the darkness. He uses this illusion to bring himself 'prey'
Weapons/Possessions: A drider has very few posessions, usually only a weapon of choice or a staff. Makai has neither. He does however wear a simple leather strip with a jewel that was his daughters.
Appearance: Makai stands at average height for his race, 7 feet and six inches high. For a human of course, this is terrifying. He has long white hair that runs half way down his back, standing up from the sides of his head are two long ears, elflike in their appearance but thin further at the tips for a few inches like Antenna. His skin is black like obsidian and hairless until it meets the Spider half, as it goes down to the spiders body it sprouts fine hairs like fuzz that he uses to sense people's movements and air currents. Using these fine hairs he always knows when someone approaches, and can often tell if another is breathing from up to 30 feet away. He wears a simple thin strip of leather around his neck with a red jewel attached, a present he once gave to his daughter. None may touch it. His legs are long thin and Spindly as like the legs of a red tailed spider, he also has the long angry red stripe down the tail of his abdomen, again, like the spider.
Personality: Makai is quiet, as are all.. not egotistical.. Driders. He has a deep hatred of humankind due to their brutality and savagery when it comes to his kind and kin. Since losing his daughter to the foul ape decendants he sees them all as a food source, often hunting them and drawing them into his traps. He has no qualms about killing humans, after all, they took from him, why would he not take from them? He dislikes humans greatly but knows an all out conflict is not going to end well for the side of his kin. Hearing of Rafe and what he wants to accomplish he wishes to join with him, taking over the world with subdefuge and deceit appeals to his instincts than an all out fight. He is reserved, often taking in aspects of an entire situation, and striking when an opponent thinks they have won, whether it be an arguement, or a fight in itself.
History: Makai was hatched, as are all Driders. Being male he was exceptionally rare, only one in 100'000 are born male. In the first hundred years of his life he spent as a humanoid, slowly changing over time until he reached full maturity. At 100 years old he began to breed with females, as all Driders need to do as there are so few males. One of his hatchlings caught his attention. Most Drider offspring look nothing like their father, taking on their own form, with their own paticular traits. This one however, was like him. Same hair, same eyes, same skin tone. He claimed her as his own, leaving the community and heading out himself with his daughter. He adored the child, often spending hours simply looking at her fine features, doting on her, making her gifts. One gift the girl adored was a simple gem they made together using their combined poison, his web, and their blood. Using the very limited magics that only Driders know, they formed a gem. A present from father to daughter with the promise of 'No matter where you are, if you have this I will be with you'. Since then no matter where she was, he could find her using the gem as a homing beacon. For 20 years they lived together in the wilderness, eating wild animals and builiding themselves a fine home mixed with web and wood.

Then the humans came to their area. Makai and his daughter stayed away from the creatures, staying out of sight and hiding. They lived in relatively no fear of humans, but preferred to stay away from the conflict. That is.. until the humans stumbled across the home.

With Makai away at the time finding their next meal, his daughter was found with the web. She had just started to show physical signs of the transformation to come and the humans took this as a blight. They killed her, just for being what she was.

Makai returned from the hunt carrying a full grown deer. He came to find his home alight, and his daughter dead. He was uncontrollable. He felt a rage through his body like none ever before, poison dripped from his mouth as he screamed, charging through the forest like a beast possessed by the nine hells.

No humans survived in the village that night.

The next morning, Makai returned to his smouldering home and buried his daughter, taking the gem he put in on, whispering to her grave that no matter where he was, she would find him. Remembering his promise he turned, leaving the area, his home, his daughter's body, and the pain behind. He headed east, he had heard whispers that there was a man who understood. A man who would help. A place where his kind would not be hunted down and slaughtered for just existing. "Rafe." All he had was a name. For now, that was all he needed.
Other: Makai is a humanoid with the body of a Red back Spider
