Appearance[]
"9-1-1, emergency, there's a handsome guy in my house! Oh wait, scratch that, it's only me." - the man who spoke to mirrors
Mac is a towering hulk of a man, and fortunately his cartoonishly tall frame assisted in keeping him relatively proportional as he began to put on his substantial muscle mass. In only 3 years he more than doubled his resting weight.
Ironically, his face seems out of place with the rest of his body, as he has relatively normal facial features, like you might expect of a bank teller or the guy that does your taxes. In fact, the only noteworthy thing on his face is his golden orange hair.
Because Mac is easily recognized by his sculpted mountain of a body, he doesn't tend to favor a single outfit. Rather, his appearance changes from day to day, sometimes multiple times in single day. From sports apparel to circus costumes, the only thing that's certain is that it will be loud and attract a lot of attention.
Biography[]
Mac was raised in a family of innumerable children, and as such received little to no attention from his parents. The veritable army of siblings were known for causing all sorts of trouble and Mac was no exception.
He attended a school of theater to his parent's pleasure (one less child to deal with), before he flunked out of despite his overzealous personality and persistence. Afterwards he dedicated himself to building his pencil-thin body into a shrine, one that others would beg, borrow and steal to worship at.
He eventually fell in with a group of pirates, mistaking their vessel for a traveling ship taking him to the island hosting what would have been his first ever bodybuilding competition.
Personality[]
Mac's personality is incredibly multifaceted, to the point where he is difficult to read. There are only 2 defining constants: his need for attention and his consistent inconsistency.
Mac is generally a loud rabble rouser, who wants nothing more than for everyone to tell him how cool he is. This is likely related to the fact that he was lost in a sea of siblings, and received little to no attention from his parents. He seems to be rather fond of praise from women, but his "try hard" attitude generally stops there. He doesn't know the first thing about women or relationships. He's also more than willing to volunteer for distraction roles, since he isn't picky about who his audience is.
Due to Mac's vapid nature, he tends to be easily offended, though he's rarely openly aggressive. He has a habit of holding grudges, and then holding any perceived "victory" over the other's head, likely long after they've forgotten about it. These sorts of things are generally childish and competitive in nature.
Mac's speech seems to be rather well formed, likely carrying over from his theater days. He tends to talk entirely too much, and hardly ever about the situation at hand. If he has any situational awareness, he chooses to ignore it for the most part. He also has little to no understanding of history, and will commonly bombard people with questions when he doesn't understand what's going on. He's not an idiot, he's just... distracted.
- Likes: Mirrors, loud music/theme songs, epithets/titles, all kinds of meat*, and candy (especially saltwater taffy)
- Dislikes: Competition, chicken (ironically), drawing, slimey sensations, anything totally neutral in color (accents are fine)
- Under the impression that his family was famous for some reason, despite lack of a family trade and measurable wealth. Openly references any one of his numerous siblings for their "fame", expecting people to know who they are.

Combat Style[]
Mac abuses a style of fighting that resembles a bastardized form of wrestling. It is primarily focused on grappling and taking advantage of his large size, but occasionally makes use of powerful strikes. His throws and submissions resemble catch wrestling and judo, with added emphasis on flashiness.
Despite his massive strength and heft, Mac is not always the first to charge into a brawl. As a rabble rouser and entertainer, he's generally more focused on charismatically pumping up his teammates and eliciting cheers from passersby. In this regard, many of his techniques are considered flashy and impractical, though he seems to make a special effort to collaborate for the sake of the performance. Many of his "techniques" are little more than catcalls, dances and gestures, but they seem to rile everyone up just the same.
Statistics[]
