Makkal Hanaya
(https://image.eveonline.com/Character/92093581_256.jpg)
At the End of Your Journey (http://attheendofyourjourney.blogspot.com/) - Makkal's blog.
Basic Information
Callsign: Makkal
Age: Mid-Twenties
Height: 5'1''
Weight: 153 lbs.
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Light Blue (natural), Silver (implants)
Birthplace: Shinsuru (Sazre V, Nohshayess)
Citizenship: Khanid Kingdoms
Events:
YC 115, 04, 20 - In order to atone for personal failures, Makkal has joined I-RED. She hopes that by showing martial prowess and defeating the enemies of the empires (pirates), she can redeem herself.
YC 115, 05, 05 - Makkal's marriage is annulled due to her family's influence. ((Partner's player is unable to continue playing EVE.))
YC 115, 05, 30 - Promoted to Chūi in RDC. Placed in charge of operational assessment, management, and upgrade (OAMU) of several RDC facilities.
YC 115, 06, 12 - Hostile actions with Clockwork Pineapple in IRED space include a structure under Makkal's OAMU. Several guns refuse to operate and Makkal is suspended during post-action investigations. Investigations find her non-negligent and changes are made to OAMU policy.
Description
Holo-projection: A slim Khanid woman in a modest but elegant Amarrian dress, her hair in an elaborate coif.
Face-to-face: Highly augmented - black metallic arms and legs, silver eye opticals, and an electronic edge to her voice. Tends to wear simple blouses and Caldari-style pants.
The Universe According to Makkal!
Amarr - Corrupt, arrogant warmongers.
Caldari - Godless, but good business partners.
Gallente - Degenerates seeking to infect the cluster with their perversions.
Minmatar - Savages, but a god send.
Ammatar - Lapdogs. What the Kingdom could end up as if we're not careful.
Intaki - Excellent people.
Nation - Great ideas, and the reason those ideas can't be applied.
Equilibrium of Mankind - Evidence of the Ardishapur family's weakness and corruption.
Intaki Syndicate - A noble beginning, but without a strong leader to unite them, they've never reached their real potential.
Red God Worshipers - Mostly crazy.
Kingdom citizens who work for the Reclaiming - Mostly traitors.
Various Amarr Houses - The Ardishapur invaded and occupied Makkal's homeplanet for a time and the clan as a whole still sees them as enemies. Makkal's step-father has several silver hands he keeps as trophies. The Kor-Azor's moderate politics is seen as appealing and intelligent, and the Hanaya clan has had more business relations with that family than with all the others combined.
Oh, I just remember this:
1) Makkal gets a kick out of people referring to her as "Lady Hanaya" because the title is a questionable one. Properly, Lady Hanaya is the first wife of Lord Hanaya, her grand uncle and the head of her clan. Makkal was named after her maternal grandmother, who is also Makkal Hanaya, so within her family and in official documentation, she's typically referred to as Makkal the Younger.
2) The name Makkal is a future version of Micheal, the archangel who leads the forces of heaven. It means 'Who is like God?' (It's a rhetorical question, the implied answer is 'no one.')
3) Makkal's comm has an obscenity filter that tends to chew up swear words as well as various profane comments. Makkal herself has a private inhibitor that delivers the sensation of an electric shock whenever she swears or attempts to engage in prohibited activities.
---------------------
Clan Hanaya
Some history and context to Makkal's family.
Clan Hanaya was formed when one of the Holders under Khanid II, Lady Indara, refused to join him in his rebellion. Uniah Hanaya, the Indara's majordomo, killed her and seized control of her forces. As a reward, he was raised to peerage and given control of the border world of Shinsuru.
Shinsuru is an oceanic world rich in (delicious) marine wildlife and able to support extensive underwater agriculture. Unfortunately, due to its location, it was a frequent target of border skirmishes and trade disruptions. What should have been a profitable planet was instead impoverished and wartorn. It was even occupied by the Imperial forces for 12 years, during which Lord Hanaya and his clan had to take sanctuary with a neighboring family.
For much of its existence, the Hanaya clan was known as small and destitute, but fiercely loyal to the Kingdom.
This changed when the Kingdom began to establish trade relations with the Caldari. The Hanaya clan helped Kaalakiota establish itself in the Kingdom, especially with the 'soft' elements of Kingdom business the Caldari struggled with. Currently, Clan Hanaya runs a sprawling logistic network for Kaalakiota and various Khanid industries that supply the Navy.

Kat and Makkal really should meet.
-
I suppose that answers my question as to where the Kingdom players are. :)
-
Added the universe according to Makkal.

I am in agreement.

Hello there!
-
I really like Makkal, btw. +1 Tib Approval.
-

They (we?) are, predictably... in the Kingdom :3
Also, goes without saying, but :cube: Makkal
-
I love Makkal! Though she and Azdan haven't spoken much.
Having seen her view on Amarr, it makes sense why they may not have spoken much. The list of people whom might actually like Azdan IC grows very small indeed.
-

Thank you! I also like Tiberious, but Makkal avoids him given Nation's reputation. Makkal is also interested in transhumanism and has advocated using TMCM on criminals, so she's very leery of appearing to support or have anything to do with Nation.

I'm glad you like her!

They haven't spoken much because I haven't been on as much, and when I am on, I'm often doing private RPs.
Her dislike of the Amarr Empire has never influenced her reaction to Amarrian characters.
-
I've enjoyed the interactions I've had with Makkal, though our respective factional affiliations limit it a bit.
Given the Kingdom already uses TCMCs on slaves, I would be surprised if they hadn't - at least on a trial basis - used them on criminals too.
-
I like this character!
I also like your Faction feelings roundup. I'll probably be stealing that for when/if I ever write a public bio. :)

And you remind me that I didn't do EoM.

Oooooh.
If I had known that, I'd have had Makkal use them extensively on her indentured laborers.
-
If you are doing other small factions (particularly given her liking of the Intaki) you should do Syndicate. Particularly given the parallels with the Kingdom, and the differences, Makkal might have an interesting perspective.
I can't say I'd be sorry to see a breakdown of her opinion on the various Houses - though if they are all variations of the Amarr one it might not be needed.
-
Awesome character.
It's a pity that Makkal and Tammy are on the opposite ends of the Khanid political spectrum (and she probably already called Makkal "Lady Hanaya" a few times, hehe)
I also like your Faction feelings roundup. I'll probably be stealing that
Also, this!
-
Added joining IRED.

Hi,
This is one of those annoying "There is only Zuul" RPer-Type questions. How do you balance when you as a player want to do something that your character probably doesn't? When it's a big thing, particularly. How legitimate do you think it is to bend your character's actions towards your OOC wants, rather than allowing your play to follow your character's natural growth and development?
This one is a might struggle at the moment. :ugh:
I designed Makkal to like what I like and her personality type is one that's easy to play with. The problem is that it's been a year since I created her and I'm a dilettante. I know that if I relax and give it a month or so, several of my 'issues' will work themselves out, but in the mean time, I'm constantly having to slap my hand away from my own PC.
What sorts of questions or issues do you have? Anything we could help with maybe?
-
EVE is hard and I expect sticking it out for a few more months will help.
We can chat sometime about more specific things if you'd like.
-
Ah, I missed the Universe according to Makkal. I want to steal that idea.
-
I should probably update it. Makkal's view of people has softened a bit since she left the Kingdom and interacting with others.
-
I've enjoyed the few times I have interacted with Makkal, not sure what it is about her, but I like her a lot.
-
I definitely forsee some interesting times if Makkal and Reppy continue interacting.
Onward, fellow Khanid!
-
I look forward to it. :)
-
As some of you know, I lost my job in October. I canceled my EVE sub that month, but had enough ISK to buy a PLEX, but that time runs out the 10th of November.
Still jobless, and feeling rather unhappy about things. I've decided to retire Makkal for a time. No, I am not quitting EVE. I actually spent a few months away last year as well.
But until then, carry on. :)
-
:(
-
It's getting pretty lonely in the Kingdom.
-
I'd offer a PLEX, but time spent in EVE takes away from time spent looking for new job. Good luck and hopefully you can come back soon!
-
I've had similar lapses in income, although those were due to me simply not accounting for events out of my control. If I had more money I'd be as generous as the person above but I don't. Good luck finding the new job and I hope to have you back securely in the arms of EVE once more.
-
Awww.... I'm sorry. Will miss the Makkal.
-
Never knew her, but heard good things.
Tried to engage her in some Stuff™, but I understand now why it did not work out.
All the best!
Jude.
-
You need a PLEX ? I should have enough isk to buy one if you want.
-
Well, poo. I guess that explains why you haven't been around lately. Have been worried and wondering what was up.
Echoing what Lyn and Karm have said, by the way. You want a PLEX, just ask and I'll toss the ISK your way.
If you feel like chatting or RP or whatever even while you're out of EVE, gimme a prod - you know how to reach me. There's been some stuff going on it would be fun to have your input on. :)
-
The Duchess and the Lady (I know, I know, she doesn't like to be called like this) were never on good food with each other—at least not in the forums, for another opportunity didn't arise—but it is sad to see another Khanid departing.
I wish you the best and hope you find a new job very soon!
-
hope things improve soon.
-
It's getting pretty lonely in the Kingdom.
Also this. :cry:

omg vincent. lol.
*wipes tears from eyes*
you have graced my life with yet another gem of the internets.
-
Vince scores bonus points on this one, as it's from the "RP" forum.
-
... that is whacky.
Thank you to everyone who's responded. I appreciate the well wishes.
While it's kind of some people to offer a PLEX to me, I don't think this is a good time for it. Not only am I looking for a job, I'm attempting to write a novel this month.
Besides, my RP has been rather sporadic and uninspired lately. :/

Don't give me ideas. Now is not the time to be giving me ideas.

Had some RPs with Kat and Morwen. You might see Makkal around a little now.
