Empathy
APPEARANCE
Akira is 5'6" tall and weighs 142 pounds or so. His hair is darker violet-brown and kind of frames his face. He has a long ponytail that he keeps tied off and usually under his shirt, but sometimes it falls out or he just doesn't care to hide it. His eyes are a bright, almost oceanic blue, and always expressing some kind of emotion. His skin is a normal kind of tone, but he tends to be a little darker in the summer and a little lighter in the winter.
He wears clothing that he finds comfortable, but usually is in a hoodie. He always is wearing darker colored clothes and maybe a necklace and wristbands. Lately he's been wearing gloves, especially when he has to work as a Manor Hunter. He wears almost skater, or scene, type clothing, but honestly that's just what's comfortable for him. He won't dress up unless he's forced to.
At this point he has many scars from his previous battles, the most visible being the one on his neck from his final battle with Riku.
WEAPON(S):
Akira has a lovely pair of daggers with sheathes specially built against his arms from his wrists to his elbows to hold them hidden in place. This is why he is usually in a hoodie or wearing long sleeves, in order to hide the sheathes on his forearms. Though he does not wear them all the time.
▪ INVENTORY:
Akira's wings are a dark violet, blue, and black. They look almost like a raven's wings, and he has had them for a few years now, since he met Amos. Also on his person are simple things. A ring from his brother, a locket from Amos, a mini flashlight, and his wallet.

PERSONALITY

hopeful
loyal
logical
determined
▪ NEGATIVE TRAITS:
depressed
paranoid
quick tempered
lack of faith in himself
unstable with changes
▪ LIKES:
strawberries
cats
thunderstorms
music
helping others
▪ DISLIKES:
mean people
change
doctors
anger
darkness
▪ FEARS:
darkness
his past
losing control of himself/his powers
losing his lover
Kyou
▪ TALENTS/HOBBIES/QUIRKS:
training alone
thinking outloud so that the psychics can't read his thoughts
sleeps to dubstep
▪ INSTRUMENTAL:
Akira can play the piano and the violin.
Akira has dealt with a lot since he has come to Shunojiski Academy. He almost wishes that he would have stayed locked up in his family's basement instead of dealing with all of this. But of course, that is not how things work.
Akira has had his life threatened, been taken over by an evil personality of his own creation, and fought a Manor that had tried to control and experiment on him, and had done so to his brother. He had fallen in love, twice, and been reunited with the brother he had lost so long ago. He has killed many, saved many more, and all within the past 4 years. All of this dramatic change has made him a different person.
Akira is not so naive, not so foolish anymore. And now that he is grown and mature, he is beginning to lose hope that he will ever find out who he truly is, what he is truly good at. He wishes more than anything to find what his life means to him, and to those around him.
He is also afraid of the dark in such a sense that he will freeze up and huddle himself in fetal position until it goes away. He almost always carries a flashlight with him though, to try and avoid this from happening.
Another important part of Akira's personality is something that he fears more than anything, but hasn't heard from since his battle with Riku. He has an evil side of himself, a darker part that he named Kyou. This voice in his head, this other personality, it was completely evil in all sorts of ways. It thrived for the torture of Akira and others around him. But since that last battle, Kyou has not ben heard from. Akira hopes that his other half is gone, but he is not so naive as to think that this reprieve is permanent.
ADVANCED EMPATHY: n/a ▪ LVL MAX
▪ USAGE ATTRIBUTES/SKILLS:
He usually makes the person he's fighting feel the most dreadful of things, self-loathing, worthlessness, hopeless, pathetic, disgusted, any amount of negative emotion. Other wise he fills them with pure hatred and pain. Usually they will just commit suicide because of it, so he has no need to get his hands dirty. He also passively gets filled with the emotions of the people around him, and despite all of the work he has done on this, he still gets overwhelmed by it from time to time. Due to how strong this ability is, he also can tell who is a Manor due to their hidden hearts, and he has the ability to see right through their false personalities. This has always caused him trouble, though at this point in his life he really couldn't care who is and who isn't what.
ELEMENTAL WATER
Akira is a dramatic little shit and likes to make it rain harder whenever he is in a brooding mood and it is already raining out. Other than that, this power is fairly new to him and he is still learning what he can and cannot do with it, but manipulating the rain is something he just finds useful, as it has a tendency to better his mood.
TENKAI: TELEKINESIS ▪ LVL N/A
▪ USAGE ATTRIBUTES/SKILLS:
Akira doesn't much use this ability, though he does find it handy to be able to move books into the shelves he cannot reach.

HISTORY
▪ LOVE LIFE:
Past Love: Luka de'Enguarde.
Current Love: Amos Vang,(Missing) gave Akira his wings.
Akira's past is quite the tragic one. Born almost 2 months early, to his mother's affair with a Nephilim(manor/tenkai), he was found to be an utter and complete mistake, but he was allowed to live there, much to his father's protest. He was weak and very insignificant, and was kept in a small nursery until he was 2 years old, to get whatever medical care he needed for his weakened body. After that, Akira was kept in the basement, given a tutor during the school year that raced him through lessons so he got to be a year or so ahead each time, upon his mother's request. His father would then lock him up again during the summer months and beat him constantly.
Akira's older brother, Luka, was the only one that would remember to feed him, to bathe him, and to give him someone's shoulder to cry on. He offered comfort and love when the boy couldn't receive it from his parents. Quickly, being half brothers, they became a little more than that.
When Akira was 6 years old he began to hear a voice in his head. Slowly this voice became another personality, Kyou, that hated anything and everything around him. He took all of the punishments that little Akira couldn't endure, learning more and more of the cruelty of living creatures. More and more he hated them, and soon his powers were discovered.
A few months after he had turned 8 he had learned that he could feel and manipulate the emotions, fears, and even pain of other living creatures. This was one of the most important turning points of the young boy's life. Akira had completely given himself to the beast inside of his mind. Luka knew that it wasn't his kind and sweet younger brother, and for the longest time stopped visiting him, letting him revel in his own madness, slowly losing his mind.
One fateful afternoon was the first and last time that this insanity saw the light of day.
One of the guards to his room had been sent in to feed him, since Luka refused to see him. No one had remembered to shackle him the night before, and he strangled the guard through the bars of the cage, making the man's pain heighten so much that he took his gun and shot himself just to end it. Kyou stole the keys and let himself loose. He followed the emotions of the others, finding it easy to slaughter them with nothing but his powers. But the blood, it covered him, and he laughed, much like a demon would.
When he got to his parents, Luka had already sealed them away from his powers, and trapped Kyou, sealing away most of his powers so that he wouldn't harm anyone. He regained his younger brother's personality, making Akira return to the cruel world that he hadn't had to deal with in a little over 2 years. Kyou would not be able to return until Akira trained himself to master his powers.
A year or so after the whole fiasco, Luka and Akira became much much closer to one another, surpassing the simple sibling relationship to something much much more.
Luka gave Akira a ring, which was more just to keep Kyou sealed away, to wear off of his own finger. However, unknown to Akira, his brother had a heart condition and died just shortly before Akira's 14th birthday. However, Luka was not really dead, even though Akira didn't know it at the time.
The beatings became more frequent for the next year as his father grieved the loss of his oldest son, and suddenly one day they stopped. Akira had been named as the next in line for the company's head and suddenly he was forced to appear in large crowds of people. His powers had never been worked on before. He hated every second he spent with his father's arm around his shoulders as he was introduced to the countless people who's names he would forget in a matter of minutes anyways.
Once he turned 16 his father decided to send him to the actual school to get to know some of the kids he would be ruling society with. Akira absolutely hated the idea, but at least he wouldn't be getting beaten anymore.
Akira met his friend Amos, who is a Manor, in the music room when he had tried to kill him because they had such similar powers. The fight between Akira and Amos was pretty much a draw because even though Akira had lost control, Amos had become his friend.
A lot of interesting things happened to him after that. A hit was put on Akira's head just because he could tell who was a Manor and who wasn't. This was, of course, a huge threat to the Manor community, and he went through three more threats on his life. One of them he managed to defeat the Manor girl, another Amos had made Kenji go away. The last came later.
Akira was removed from the school and disguised himself as a boy named Keiji Ryoka. He hated how much he resembled his dead brother, but went to school anyways, getting looks and stares and rumors all the time. He stood up to his father, and while out of the school worked more and more on his powers, nearly tripling them in a short period of time.
He found a message from his brother in the library, and soon was lead to believe that Luka was still alive, which he was. Amos had taken him to see his brother, because well, Amos had been working for the person who had taken Luka captive. Luka was a mental disaster, as was Akira, but Luka was much worse off. Luka had tried to kill Amos, and Akira removed the ring that Luka had given him when he was little to seal his powers away, and almost killed Luka, himself, and Amos.
After that, Akira was once more removed from the school for his own safety. Again he worked on his powers, but he didn't bother with changing his appearance anymore, and finally he went to Kei Sinclair and explained the situation at hand.
A Masquerade was held not long after, and Akira was used as bait to lure a bunch of Manors in. Little did he know that the Manors were already planning an attack and they had Luka seal all of the doors shut. Chaos ensued, and Luka had tried to kill his brother, but couldn't, stabbing him in the arm instead.
Christian, the Manor leader, was killed by Kei Sinclair, and the Manors world was thrown into chaos. Luka was stripped away from him once more as Riku declared war against the Manors, and took his brother, forcing him to do things for him.
Akira's hatred for Manors began growing more and more and he began training how to kill them in secret. He learned how to fight using hand to hand combat from a young freshman named Kinniku. Along with this, he once more began to hear that voice from his past, even though no one ever told him what had happened Kyou returned.
Kyou caused a lot of trouble, killing off random subhumans and manors alike. He wasn't one to really care who he killed, if they got in his way, they were no more. He spent a few months in search of one specific Manor. Amos Vang, Akira's own lover. As long as Amos was around, he couldn't emerge. He made a deal with Riku, who found Amos, and brought him into his clutches. Kyou wanted to kill him, but soon, Akira emerged, and Amos swore his love to him. Riku was quite furious, but together they escaped without much harm being done.
Kyou had emerged a few times since, when Amos hasn't been around.
Akira and Amos met up with an Albino male named Kyrarei, who seemed very familiar, due to his pictures being on Riku's walls in the small apartment he had before. He wanted revenge on Riku, for doing such horrible things to him, and Akira agreed to team up with him, Amos agreed as well.
Together, through many fights and struggles, Riku was killed by them. Kyrarei took in Luka, Akira's Brother, and treats him like his own son. Kyrarei moved away with Luka, and Akira sees very little of either of them.
Amos once again was called again on Manor business, but Akira is getting used to his lover not being there, despite how much it pains him to be away from Amos for so long.
Another year or so has passed, and Akira works in the Shunojiski Academy Library, still being an apprentice librarian, and helps anyone with any project they need assistance with. Many of the Manors still know who he is, but none of them mess with him anymore now that he has had a bit of specialized training. He does not kill Manors unless they are a blatant threat to society, like Riku had been, and has since found ways to completely control his empathy so he doesn't really pay attention to who is a Manor and who isn't.
