Machiavellianism also called (Political) Opportunism or Realism is a type of politics which primarily focuses on acquiring and maintaining political power from a "selfish" standpoint. In a way Machiavellianism can be said to be an ideology focused entirely on the political concept of praxis, that being actions done for political gain.

Personality

Machiavellianism is very much... machiavellian in his behaviour. Generally very manipulative in such.

He is known for speaking to crowds in masks of whatever ideology's rhetoric he is using to get in power.

How to Draw

Machiavellianism's design is based on the Machiavelli Coat of Arms.

Draw a ball with eyes.
In Blue Draw a Cross on the ball.
Draw 4 needles pointing at the center of the cross.

And you're done!

Relationships

Status Quo ideologies love him, Non-Status Quo hate him. This is true no matter what ideologies those are.
