Maku

From Apocalypseblade

Maku is a character in Blades of the Apocalypse. He is an augmented human, like his twin brother Taka. He debuted during the Broken Heaven storyline.

Pre-Story History

Taka and his twin, Maku, were born 2 minutes apart in the village of Reyone, on the continent of Old Etrah. The two were looked up to by the younger children, due to the novelty of their appearance. Taka used his position as a role model to teach the children the importance of kindness and respect, and fighting only in self defense, and as a last resort. Maku, on the other hand, believed that it was more important to establish control through power, and taught the children who followed him to lay opponents low before they become strong enough to be a threat. The two would often argue about their conflicting philosophies.

Then, on the day of Arius' imprisonment in the Abyss, when Heaven and Hell broke, the twins were, for unknown reasons, affected by the energies released. Taka absorbed celestial energy from the break of Heaven, while Maku absorbed demonic energy from the break of Hell. The two found that they had gained abilities from this, mirroring their philosophies.

Eventually, months after gaining their powers, Maku went on a rampage, killing several people in Reyone before being run out of town. Taka was exiled out of fear that he would follow his brother's example, and began to track down his brother.
