  * According to the lore, tigers tend to be very large (either muscular or fat) and it's usually a sign of a health issue if they are as thin as he is. His body is the way that it is because he is half cat, but he's otherwise indistinguishable from a tiger, so people often assume he is ill in some way.
  * He is specifically a Sumatran tiger/domestic shorthair cat hybrid. And yes his father is orange

===== Personality =====

Most people's first impression of Makko is that he is very polite but rarely stays to talk for long. He is somewhat shy, has trouble connecting with others, and prefers to be alone most of the time. However, when he is around people he is close with or doing something he is passionate about, he can become quite energetic. He is also on-time for everything and hates being late.

He is very apprehensive about unfamiliar things, and overthinks everything. He often works himself into a spiral over even the smallest things by coming up with every possible way something could go wrong. Something as small as seeing a spider can ruin his whole day. He has to be pressured to try new things, even just small things like trying new foods. He relies heavily on Oliver to remind him to calm down. He would rather stick to a tried-and-true method than come up with an easier way to do something, and tends to work very slowly and carefully. He prefers long-term effort over instant gratification.

To his boyfriend, Oliver, he is a safe person to talk to and and is the person he relies on most for emotional support. He's often the one to rein him in when he starts to move too quickly or go too far.
