Shimizu Akio
⌈"Life is a game, and I just know how to play it."⌋




Image
⌈Age⌋
Appears early twenties, but he rather not say his actual age

⌈Appearance⌋
As a human Akio appears as a handsome young man standing at 5' 9'' with a lean, but well toned build. Much like his family Akio takes dashing emerald colored eyes from his mother, his mother once told him that his eyes alone could pierce the heart of any maiden who gazed in them. While he gained his mother's eyes he took his fathers rugged brown with a slight red tint hair, Akio's hair stretches down just above his shoulders and is done up in a topknot.

On almost all occasions Akio has a relaxed look to him. As well Akio gives off a sociable, happy, and some what lazy feel though that makes it easy for people talk to him. Almost always he will be seen with a dashing smile, though sometimes it's hard to tell if it's a smile or grin.

Even though Akio is a Bakeneko and extremely fond of his youkai form, he is currently unable to obtain it because of Yousuke. While he can't revert into his youkai form, Akio is still able to use his youkai powers to change his form into an array of animals and people, but he prefers to stick to different animals as he finds looking like other humans be a disgrace to his prefered human form.On almost occasion when he does turn into an animal he prefers to turn into a cat, as he sees them being the closest thing to perfection in the human realm. Generally it will be a pure white cat, which is odd since white house cat's were thought to bewitch their owners and control or kill them which caused them to be abandoned or killed.

⌈Personality⌋
Akio has a personality that few forget after they meet him. After one's first encounter with him most would describe him as loud, funny, outgoing, in a way he is a party wrapped up into a ball. Akio is extremely found of sarcasm and enjoys poking fun at people mostly it's just for his amusement and he means no disrespect sometimes, though it tends to get him into bad situations. He enjoys living out an exciting lifestyle that has as much "fun" as he can get. Which usually comes around to drinking and telling outlandish tales to whom ever will drink with him. On top of that Akio's a more on the spot kind of guy, thinking things through is not his forte he rather act in the here and now instead of sit around thinking about what to do next. Most remember about him, is his smile which some say can change to grin or smirk in an instant, few have ever seen him without a smile and Akio prefers it that way since he wants to be remembered as someone who brings happiness wherever they go.

Although he is kind and lighthearted, that's not to say he dislikes killing. It's more on the side that he dislikes senseless killing, Akio is true to himself he enjoys thrills and excitements and that can come just as much from having fun as from a fight. Still Akio has his morals and refuses to harm women or children no matter the situation. Even during combat the same smile he always has stay's true even when fighting a heated battle.

For someone to have to place Akio on the side of good or evil is tough. While he can be one of the kindest people you ever meet or someone who enjoys bring happiness and life to a crowd, he can also be one of the most ruthless, not in a psychopathic kind of way where he enjoys just killing people, but in the way that fighting and killing are a part of the cycle of life and he intends to not stop it, as well to him the trill of battle is exciting and his motto is "what is a life if not exciting."

Now there are very little things that can actually upset Akio and turn his infinite happiness into actual hatred as well as erase the smile that defines him. That would be someone who is controlling and not just manipulative, but someone who forces you to act in ways you would not. Before his mother's dissappearance, Akio thought that nothing in any realm could bring out an ounce of hatred from him, but that was until he met Yousuke. No person had ever drawn so much hatred from him it was also the first time that he found himself unable to smile in someone's presence to Akio that man is the symbol of everything Akio hates. In a way Akio's entire personality changes in his presence and it's clearly noticeable, the normally cocky, sarcastic, lighthearted person disappears and is replaced by someone who is silent with no scent of friendliness to be found, the normal smile is replaced with a scowl and glaring eyes. The worst thing next to losing his mother would be having to follow every word that Yousuke says, against his will.

⌈Relationships⌋
Even though Akio personality draws people to him he never fully draws attachments to people. In his entire life he has never found someone who he could genuinely call a friend, though he has met countless people and has had a blast with each and every one. The easiest thing to compare him to would be a bee drifting from group to group meeting all new people and forging new bonds with each person while Akio enjoys it there has just not been that person who he could deeply connect to, though for his lifestyle of always moving around it makes it hard for people to just be around him for a extended period of time in the first place.

There has been one relationship that has been there since he was born. That would be with his mother since he could remember his mother has always been there when he needed always giving out an open hand and answering any question he would have. Akio grew up an only child so his father placed the expectation of him being a great warrior on him since birth that didn't bother him though since he cared not for what his father thought, even though this strained their relationship to the point where they don't speak often, but that was how Akio was always rebelling refusing to be controlled by one person. His mother though seemed to understand that best and it helped Akio keep on with that life knowing that his mother was there when he needed.

⌈Home⌋
Akio moves and lives where he is told by the warlord.

⌈Equipment⌋
Two katanas that are a part of a larger set of four. Each scabbard for the katanas have a Bakeneko on the tip colored in what appears gold, each katanas Bakeneko has a different number of tails depeneding on the katana. The first katana made has a Bakeneko with just one tail, the second one made has one with two tails, all the way up to the fourth one made has four tails with each the tails seem to wrap around the scabbard all the way up to where the collar of the katana rests. The set of four katanas represent the four tails of their family, though Akio only has two of the katanas and his father has the other two.

⌈Strengths⌋
Stamina: Countless years have been put into practice as to please his father, but it was never enough, though it did help his stamina in the end.

Speed, Agility, and Strength: Being a youkai has caused Akio to be born faster and stronger then humans not to mention the countless years that he was trained by his father as he tried to forge a great warrior.

Trickery: Being able to transform into different animals or people he has met has helped as it provides for different routes to open up. During combat Akio has even used it though some may say its dishonorable, Akio would say that finding his mother takes priority over upholding some honor.

⌈Weaknesses⌋
Youkai Form: Since Akio's youkai soul which is bound to a white sash is in Yousuke's possession. Akio has to follow every order he gives as well he is unable to turn into his youkai form which holds a lot of his power.

Impulsive: Akio is renowned for his impatience, though it's more that he rather act before thinking since in his mind thinking gets you nothing acting gets you results.

Women: When he was training with his father Akio swore to his mother that he would always be kind and respectful towards women as well as never harm them. With his sarcastic attitude the first bits hard, but he refuses to break the rest of his promise out of respect.






⌈History⌋
Akio had an easy going life up until his mother disappeared. He grew up in a four tail family which meant he was just above the common class. Since Akio could remember his mother was always the loving one, that's not to say his father wasn't its just his father always had expectations of Akio to be a great warrior like he was which wasn't what Akio wanted. Though for the longest time out of respect for his father Akio trained. He still can't remember how long he trained for, but he can assure you it was a long time. Eventually Akio felt he was overworked, it was around that time that he and his father started to have their falling out, but the entire time his mother was always there for him which in a way kept Akio from falling into depression from being all alone. It was that time in his life that changed him and defined his personality to how it is today.

After that Akio spend most of his time in the human realm, traveling around as it was a good way to stay as far away from his father as he could. Occasionally he would return to visit his mother, but that all changed after one visit. Akio was away for an extended amount of time during one of his trips and when he returned to his house all he found was a heart broken father. While he may have not been on good terms with his father, one thing was for sure, his father loved his mother with all his heart. It was a first for Akio, his smile slowly faded as his father told him that his mother had gone missing without a trace. Still Akio couldn't bare to leave his father in such a state, but his priority was to find his mother some told him he was crazy and she was already dead, but Akio refused to believe such words.

Akio didn't care to change how he acted just because his situation had changed. He continued to be himself just with an alternate goal. Without his knowledge his world was about to change though, on one of his trips back he was told that someone knew of the location of his mother. After countless days he spent searching he came across a woman, she gave a long detailed story on how she had found his mother normally Akio would be somewhat careful, but it was the first lead in a long time and he couldn't afford to pass it up. Looking back Akio would call himself a fool for trusting in someone so much because after he was brought into the human realm the first night his youkai soul was stolen.

It wasn't long after that he found himself calling Lord Yosuke master. Akio detested being controlled and used, it was the first time he had met someone who actually brought out hatred from a man who was renowned for never being angry. And, now he has to follow every order that man gives, as much as it pains him to do it Akio always reminds himself that once you cage a wild beast you have started the countdown until your death, for once a cage beast is set free it is the master who feels the wrath first.
