Akane Kawasaki

Name: Akane Kawasaki
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Birthday: 02/10 (February 10th)
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: A large diagonal scar on his back that spreads from his right shoulder down to his left hip.  Made from a katana.

Personality: A person can hardly ever understand what this young man is thinking about. Akane isn't really talkative and prefers to spend his time alone. When confronted by someone he often does his best to avoid talking with that person, since young age he didn't understand how people worked. Most of the time he would only analyze how humans interacted with each other, but even then he is left confused. When he cannot escape the clutches of a stubborn person he usually gives off brief and sharp words as he tries to end the conversation as fast as possible. He doesn't want to hurt anybody, because of that he does his best to ward people off. Keeping a calm composure he has a hard time understanding emotions. Though there are times when he has a brief chuckle, but it is often misunderstood by his fellow peers. Nevertheless he is very loyal despite his appearance and is often too hard on himself. Making a mistake is unthinkable, because his value as a 'weapon' drops significantly. Treating himself as a 'weapon' he trains whenever he has the spare time to perfect his 'edge' and become 'sharper' so that he never rusts. So that nobody will throw him away again... Currently his only goal is to improve even further tackling many obstacles along the way and to use himself to uphold law and order. While doing so he would like not to get involved with people, just observe them and learn what 'emotions' truly are. Despite his personality he hates being alone. Animals can become one of his weak spots, especially cats. His expression would drastically change whenever he sees a feline, softening up to a point where people would doubt that it's really Akane.


When in a life or death situation his calm exposure doesn't break, though his concentration depends on the number of people involved. If there are civilians or perhaps people who wish him no harm involved Akane does not think so much about his health. His body is a weapon, he is a weapon and that is how he sees himself. A weapon can bend and break, but until that happens he risks his life to protect his beliefs. He has long ago forsaken his life and devoted it to protecting what he holds dear, peace. Listening to orders is natural to him, growing up in a martial arts dojo discipline was a key factor that changed this man. Though he takes on the position as leader when faced with unfavorable circumstances (or in the absence of one). Always prepared to adapt he pinpoints his weaknesses rather quickly and tries to fix them so can improve his abilities. But giving out orders is hard for him, most of the times it's just a single word without further meaning. Something like.. "Dodge", "Attack", "Defend"... There is always a chance that his comrades would get hurt because of his inability to convey his thoughts to others. Though he is still certain that emotions are burdens on the battlefield. Can somebody prove him wrong?


A broken weapon is obsolete.


Likes:

• Katanas - He is seeking for perfection of his body, in that perspective he thinks that he as a 'weapon' needs to be just like a sharp and strong katana.
  
• Cats - In the past he used to have a pet cat that would keep him company throughout the night.
  
• People - He likes people and learning new things from them. Even though he himself is a human just like everybody else, he just doesn't seem to get it..
  

Dislikes:

• Torture - The bruises and scars on his body prove how much he despises torture, his mind becomes completely blank when he sees the act displayed, careful people.
  
• Emotions - He thinks that they are useless. Though he curses himself whenever he displays them. Why? Because to how he was raised it's a sin to show them.
  
• Failure - There is no room for errors. Everything must be perfect, each move he makes musn't be wasted.
  

Motivations:

• Peace - Stopping violence altogether, even though it seems impossible, maybe someday..
  
• Overcoming his inability to feel - He doesn't understand his feelings, because of that he must find out what they truly are, even if he hates feeling them.
  
• Becoming the ultimate 'weapon' - He must and by all means improve himself. A weapon that never breaks, nor rusts.
  

Fears:

• Losing - Defeat is not an option, victory is the only way.
  
• His Nightmare - A repeating nightmare that never ends of when he was tortured in the past. Each time he dreams about it he loses himself.
  
• Solitude - Nobody can stand solitude.
