Axel Yagani,16, Male; Weapon
{Nickname}
“Is Axel not short enough for you?”
{Ethnicity}
Asian
Axel doesn’t have the most intimidating stature. He’s slim and lanky, standing at 5’11, with an awkward body he works well. With dark red hair contrasting his pale white skin, he’s a bit strange looking. On a normal occasion he can be seen with his yellow lensed goggles, though for formal events he sometimes removes them. Usually clad in leather with a video game attached to his hand, Axel has the appearance of a bit of a ‘nerdy scene boy’. To a point, his facial features are almost feminine, with very gentle and non-intimidating edges, though his personality changes his aura.
{Personality}
Axel’s primary mode of living is focused externally, where he deal with things rationally and logically. He lives in a world of facts and concrete needs. He lives in the present, with an eye constantly scanning the environment to make sure that everything is running smoothly and systematically. He is extremely talented at devising systems and plans for action, and at being able to see what steps need to be taken to complete a specific task. However, he can sometimes be very demanding and critical and is easily annoyed when feeling someone isn't meeting his standards. Valuing competence and efficiency, Axel won’t like a person very much if they can’t quickly fix their mistakes.
That being said, he’s actually quite charismatic. Underneath his surface easy going charm and laughter, he has an uncanny ability to perceive people's attitudes and motivations. Pick up on little cues which go completely unnoticed by most other, such as facial expressions and stance, he’s often a couple of steps ahead of the person he is interacting with. This has turned him into something of a flirt when he gets comfortable enough around women.
Of course on top of all of this, Axel is prominently protective of those younger than him, or incapable. Though his meister doesn’t fit into the latter category, he is fiercely protective of her. Though he’s not the brawniest boy, lay a hand on her and you’ll be scared away immediately by a chainsaw of an arm. Even though Reene can fully look after herself, Axel feels responsibility and strong loyalty toward her, outside their weapon-meister bond, probably because of his past. His soul color is green, with swirls of red and black, if you look closely. However, it’s perceived usually as a rather strange colored green.
Devil’s Chain
{Description}
Axel changes into a modern chainsaw when in weapon form. Though it’s his only current transformation, it’s quite versatile in size, types of blade and handle, and can bend and increase in speed to the Weapon or Meisters will. Axels usual large appearance is a shiny metal toothed blade and a glossy red base and handle, while his smaller is a more grungy red and black. Both hold the same powers and capabilities, the only thing that changes is range and looks.

{Biography}
Born into a family with a history of Demon Weapons, it was a surprise when Axel, the eldest of four, was the only child to have Weapon abilities. His parents went out of their way to provide support for him and constantly made clear their intentions for him to continue the family tradition of going to DWMA. However, Axel would have none of that, and instead took to rolling with a gang in the city from the age of ten. He was a rather valuable asset- a quick half transformation to show off his Devils Chain and whatever the gang wanted, they usually got. The small band of teenagers, along with a few younger members, ruled over the worse part of the city. It was a glorious role to most, but one looked down upon by adults and authority figures. Axel developed his smoking habit along with the habit of wearing goggles, to somewhat hide his identity. Despite the pride and glory he felt in the gang, he didn’t want his parents to know the worst of it. They were mildly accepting, thinking their son was just in a rough-and-tumble group of kids.
About two years into his involvement, when sleeping away from home and coming back late was normal, Axels younger sister, 10 years old now, thought it’d be fun to follow him, thinking she might join in on the fun at the same age he had. Axel avoided her in the back alleys until he lost her, then proceeded to the hideout, the same as every other day.
Except this time, his sister was found raped and murdered the next day.
Feeling unbelievably guilty, especially as his family hit financial and depressive ruts, Axel quit the gang and got a job. His former family pitched in bits of money, but Axel began to be a full part help in his family’s financial survival. When his mother passed away at Axel age 14, his father became an abusive drinker. He was fired soon after, and Axel was the main source of light to his remaining younger siblings.(6,9)
He brought home the money, he looked out for them, protected them from their father. On particular bad days, Axel would even deposit the younger ones to his old gang family, before and after school.
When his current girlfriend volunteered to take his siblings into her own home, Axel completely ditched his father. He worked up more money for his new household, his girlfriend and her working parents. He was able to live comfortably, as were his siblings. Even after him and the girl broke up, they remained a nice little family. Axel took to giving money to the young street kids, spurring his protective streak to younger people. The former girlfriends family prompted Axel to join DWMA, and he family accepted and joined.
OTHER: Smokes often, is a bit addicted. Also addicted to video games; is never without one. Even in battles a PSP can often be found in his pocket or boot.
(I have rather high fever right now, though I wont put the blame off. haha. Anyway, point out anything you'd like changed.)
