The naming was supposed to be named 'Makkert II', but the roman numbering went bad on me. Also this monk has a hairtail, something I didn't see at the creationscreen. For a long time, I wasn't too fond of my monk for these 2 reasons. After I dyed the tattoo-scalp black, it's look improved, and it didn't look to horrid anymore. Nowadays, it's by far the character I invest the most in, both in time as well as in-game currency. The challenge to play a good monk never gets boring.

After winning a contest on GWG, this character has been immortalised by Manuel Clavel of rpvisions.com here: Makkert Ii.

Last name is a reference to Magic the Gathering, and keeping with the 'toon #1, toon #2, toon #3' theme. A pyro/warder usually. Whenever I want to set my mind at zero and just want to play something simple, I play a nuker.

This character was supposed to follow the naming convention 'makkert toon#4-reference'. I found 'Makkert Quadrivium', of which quadrivium means: 1. crossroads, place where four roads meet.(the '4th char' reference, as well as diversity of Ritualist) 2. second stage of the medieval curriculum (Factions). In the end, it sounded to boring, and I went this reference to some of the ritualist skills. Currently acts as mule, as I found the ritualist boring to play.

no. 5, in roman numbering is 'V'. no. 5 is written 'five' in English, and from those 2 the bastardised form 'Vive' came to mind. To make it some what nice sounding, I made the backname Vivendel.

Created after release of Nightfall which introduced the skillstemplates & itembuilder. She now takes the place of Makkert Ii, who now can 'retire' to PvE after many fierce battles. Valentis is latin for vigor. Her CC weaponsets rock.
