Description

This link is to the preset that you see here in this display

Ma’kaiu is the main character of a Lion King Fan-Fiction I wrote when I was in High School. I finally managed to make him into a FeralHeart preset. All I had to go on where a few old sketches I made in the 8th Grade…



The name Ac’hati comes from the first few chapter's of my Lion King Fan Fiction.. They are the spirit worshiping African tribe of humans that wound up adopting Ma’kaiu as a new born and raising him into his young adulthood.

The Ac’hati's belief was that our souls never truly rest, and that all life energy is only borrowed from the earth for a short time and one day must be returned in order for new life to begin..  

Every symbol on Ma’kaiu’s body represents very specific stage in the passing of the life spirit from one form into another.. with each symbol holding its own deeply rooted place within the Ac’hati Tribes patron religion.. 

If anyone is interested in learning the meaning of these symbols, i have posted a description below this line... 



The symbols read from the lower end of his thighs, near the ankles on his back legs. 


The three circles at the lower end of his thighs 

As the life energy of a living thing returns to the earth upon their passing lifeless spirits from within the earth gather strength from this energy rising higher and higher from within the earth as they grow. 


The large swirling symbol on his rump with the two long streaming trails heading up along his side to his lower back

Upon reaching the surface of the earth, theses spirits spread throughout the land carried along by the wind....


The 6 large white circles spread across the middle of his back

The spirits travel across the land until they collide with a new unborn creature in its mothers womb...infusing their pure energies within the hollow shells, giving them there first heartbeat and bringing them to life...


The large white wings on his back between his shoulders

As a creatures life reaches it's end their energy is released, spreading across the land slowly seeping back into the earth.


The large sun shaped symbol on the back of his neck

The once empty spirit now filled with the essence of life, ascends freely into the heavens, becoming one with the universe where its pure bright blue light will shine for eternity. 
( this is their explanation for the stars in the night sky )

The symbol on his upper front limb near his shoulder

This is the holy crest of the Ac'hati royal family, which represents longevity, prosperity, and good fortune, and also represents the bearers stature and placement within the tribal families.


The large symbol on his head reaching down to between his eyes

The Ac'hati holy Shaman and high chief as he sits on his throne overlooking his village and his people.


The small white dots around his eyes

The mark of an Ac'hati Male hunter and Warrior


The small symbol on his nose

This symbol was painted by the mothers of the Ac'hati tribe who nursed and cared for Ma'kaiu as if he was there own. This symbol shows two small children petting the head of a large black feline in the view of the Ac'hati Chief as he sits on his throne over looking the village

I know this fairly old but I was wondering if you could help me. So I downloaded your present and then opened up the 'How to use presents' file. I read through it and attempted to change the name and add the number but it won't allow me to write or delete anything already writen. Is it a must to do these things? If so do you have any idea what's wrong. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope I haven't bothered you because this present is older than others.
