[community profile] awashrpg CRAU: Akira arrives in a mysterious, colourless and rundown town. He finds his best friend, Ryo, is already there and has been trapped in the Town for some time. After reconciling with him after their argument in canon, he decides they should work together to find a way home, which involves fulfilling various quests listed in a mysterious forum post to restore colour to the Town. He also meets a young woman named Pyra who he immediately bonds with, as he is able to sense the sadness she carries with her.

After various fantasy/fairy tale events, involving escaping an ice palace, taking the role of the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, hatching and raising a young dragon, and fending off a dragon attack, Akira decides they need to explore further beyond the Town and ventures into the forest with Ryo and Dextera. They come across a forest guardian, and in the ensuing battle Akira is impaled in the chest. The sun pendant (see Inventory) Ryo gave him protects him from being killed instantly, but the poison in the guardian's claws means he loses his life. After slaying the guardian, Ryo, Dextera and Pyra use a grimoire and some of their own life force to revive Akira with no death penalties.

Akira is taken from when the forest has begun to encroach on the town and the game begins to enter its initial endgame phase.

His colour log provides an illustration of some significant plot-related threads and CR developments (updated up to May 2019).

PERSONALITY:

CRYBABY - Seemingly a weakness, but is in fact Akira's main strength. Deeply sensitive and compassionate, Akira is attuned to the suffering of others far more than the average person. If they're in pain or distress, he will easily shed tears for them, even if they aren't willing to shed tears for themselves. He's even able to pick up on the feelings of someone as seemingly unfeeling as Ryo; when they were children, he insists Ryo is crying when the two of them fail to save a dying kitten, even if Ryo is unable to express or understand the emotion for himself. Even with strangers, he can intuitively pick up on what they're feeling, such as when he cries for Koda the first time they meet, despite not knowing that Koda was grieving for his dead lover. Conversely, he won't express his own suffering so as not to worry others. When his parents are killed by Jinmen, he keeps it a secret, and he never confides any of his problems in Miki, despite her repeated attempts to have him open up.

KINDHEARTED - As an addendum to the above, because of his deep-seated empathy, Akira treats most people (and animals) he meets with unconditional kindness. He befriends Ryo as a child when Ryo washed up alone as an amnesiac, becoming his only friend even when Ryo was hated by others for his behaviour. Akira's caring attitude leads him to follow Ryo even into mortal danger when he returns into his life later. While Akira doesn't have other friends besides him, he's also shown as being good with children -- he has a close relationship with Taro Makimura, who looks at him as an older brother. It's also children who are the first to stop attacking Devilman and move to hug him when he tries to protect innocent people from a mob.

PROTECTIVE - Preferring to do no harm to others, Akira is a sworn protector of humanity from demonkind. Even knowing he won't be accepted as a Devilman, he still fights demons and puts his own life on the line to protect humanity (and later, to save other Devilmen facing persecution). He's very protective of those close to him, particularly Miki, who he actively defends from anyone seeking to harm or take advantage of her; she in turn always thinks of Akira as the first person to turn to when she's in trouble. When he can't save someone, particularly his loved ones, this leads to guilt and despair.

NAIVE - Because of the unconditional kindness he shows to those close to him, this makes Akira incredibly trusting, to the point of being of being easy to manipulate. Often, he doesn't question Ryo's methods until it's too late, and even though Ryo repeatedly shows he places little value on human life, Akira's loyalty to him tends to blind him to the truth. Akira also struggles with concepts like why humans in general fight and kill each other, and is heartbroken when fellow Devilmen are hunted and killed instead of seen for the humans they really are at heart.

HORNY ON MAIN - Akira's sex drive is far higher than a human's, and he doesn't particularly care who knows it. At school he takes over a room to screen porn on a big screen at full volume, he runs a race wearing athletic shorts tight enough to leave his bulge in clear view, and he tends to fantasise about himself with Miki. In general he tends not to act on these instincts beyond that, even if he clearly enjoys the attention and outrage he causes. His strong desire, however, leave him open to being preyed on by demons such as Silene, and he's almost killed in more than one instance because of it.

BERSERKER - If confronted with a demon, Akira will often fly into an aggressive rage, and fights with reckless abandon, revelling in hunting and killing any demons he comes across. Because of his tendency to run on emotion, all his intense feelings are poured into his hatred against demonkind in battle, whether it be with tears rolling down his face, furious snarling, or vicious grinning and laughter. This can inspire fear in weaker enemies, but it can also leave him wide open to severe injuries. No matter the wounds he sustains, if he becomes too emotional or filled with bloodlust, he won't stop until he tears apart his enemies or gets torn apart himself.

CRAU - Akira's time in Awash has helped him open up to a select few about being a Devilman, restoring his faith that not everyone will be hostile towards him for what he is. He's also learned a little about romantic love and relationships, having learned about Ryo's feelings and being rejected by him, nursing an unrequited crush on Pyra (who herself had feelings for someone else), and entering a casual relationship with Duo Maxwell.

POWERS/ABILITIES:
  • DEMONIC STRENGTH AND SPEED: Being possessed by Satan's champion, Akira is the strongest amongst devilkind. Even in human form, he can fight a group of human teenagers off with only a single hand, and has unnatural agility and reflexes. When shifted to devil form, he can tear demon enemies effortlessly apart before they have a chance to react, whether with his hands, claws, or jaws. He also runs really, really fast. It's kind of weird.
  • ENDURANCE: Heals faster than a normal human, and can regrow limbs and survive impalement or bullets. However, this healing takes time, and if his wounds are severe enough, he can be left weakened or to die. If he loses his limbs he can join the bodies of other Devilmen to his to speed up the regeneration process, although they have to give up their lives in order to do so.
  • NIGHT VISION / ENHANCED HEARING: He can see in the dark in both forms, and in devil form, can use his wing-like ears to enhance his hearing.
  • FIRE: He can heat his own body up to boiling temperatures, or create flames to incinerate his enemies.
  • FLIGHT: In devil form, he has wings that allow him to fly or glide.

INVENTORY: Three Awash quest rewards: a sun pendant, which is dulled and no longer has any powers; a fire sword, capable of creating small amounts of fire; and a photo of Akira, seated with the Makimura family.

Also coming with him is Tako, the Makimura family cat and actually a Devilcat. In Devilcat form Tako can fly, temporarily blind and stun enemies by flashing the bulb-like appendage on his tail, can survive impalement, and can talk. These things are unlikely to come up ingame, as he pretends to be a normal black housecat. As of Akira's CRAU, Akira is now aware Tako is part devil, but likewise will behave around others as though his pet is an ordinary cat.
