Oddities:
- Lazy Eye -
Akito's left eye is a weak one, meaning that eye is worse at perceiving and seeing than its right counterpart. He acquired this trait from reading books in the dark, something children shouldn't do. He often does eye exercises with his finger, just as a measure to help improve this weaker eye.
- Unable to Crack Knuckles -
Akito makes a fool of himself when trying to be intimidating, especially when he cracks is knuckles. He can't do so normally, so when he does, he complains about a pain that doesn't actually exist. He will appear to crack them, but they will make no sound at all.
Personality:
{Studious, Observant, Quiet, Sleepyhead}
Akito is a quiet person in general, but he isn't what you would call a kuudere. He knows when to talk and speak his opinion, but he really only talks in those circumstances. Because of this trait, he has few friends. Instead of spending much time with the friends he does have, he stays within the confines of his home, with his parents. Akito often spends most of his time either reading or studying for tests, just to review the knowledge he'd gathered weeks before.
When in groups or gatherings, Akito is still somewhat quiet, but like almost every other person, he can have fun. He is always aware of his surroundings, making sure no odd people are around him. Although people are not supposed to judge books by their covers, Akito does- with both people and books. With his favorite hobby being reading, Akito usually picks books by their cover and author. He also can look at certain people, and deem them as "special" out of a crowd, but this isn't near a skill or an ability- it's just something he can do.
At his school, many people see him as nothing more than a brain, someone who focuses on academics more than social life. And even though this is true to some extent, Akito does have his small group of friends, which go out with each other occasionally. As for bullying, Akito hasn't been picked on so far. He's gotten remarks that are somewhat rude, but nothing too important or serious. Finally, even though Akito is mostly an introvert, he actually loves to learn new things. And when something very very new- perhaps someone with powers- appears, he gets very excited and attempts an interrogation.
He is unaware of the situation at hand; the most he knows is that there are people with otherworldly powers. He doesn't know that there are Rebels or Angels, and definitely nothing about "The Man". He also, however, doesn't know the consequences of following the Leader of the Rebels around.
Hobbies:
- Reading -
Books have been a part of Akito's life since he was a toddler, when he learned how to read. Books apparently bring him into "a totally different" world, creating his sense of fun. Stories and even newspaper and magazine articles speak out to him, creating an aspiration for a literary career.
- Piano -
- Studying -
He doesn't like to do it, but he does it a lot. To refresh his memory about the things he learned in school, he studies for about half an hour every day, just enough for the amount of things he's learned that day. He usually studies mathematics, just because the formulas, functions, and all that jazz are so complicated.
- Naps -
Akito goes to sleep late at night, so to get some energy, he likes to relax and take a nap, to cool down after a possibly arduous day. Maybe read a book, check what's going on on the news, or just sleep in quiet, there are no real cons to the short naps he takes.
Habits:
- Scratching his head -
It's not because it itches- it's because he's embarrassed. A flustered Akito scratches the same place on the back of his head, a quick way to tell what he's thinking at the time.
- Teasing -
When Akito doesn't feel like staying quiet, he often throws in a quick tease that he himself doesn't even notice. It could be a quick bad joke, or even a stupid dirty one- the possibilities are (not) endless.
- "Aash!" -
Akito accidentally says this out loud when something goes wrong, or he makes a mistake and messes something up.

[center]History:
Born a natural learner, Akito was the only child for a while, so he got a head start. His parents, Terukado and Momo, were in good standing with the neighborhood, with nice jobs and a generally peaceful life. For Akito, life went on normally- he went through grade and secondary school, he got a younger brother, and he managed to make a few friends. But with his introverted, inwards personality, it was lucky he made a few, which barely carried him to high school. (STILL WIP)
