Akio Kawakami

In mental pause

Type
Plotter - Long Term
Job
Bartender
Use
Akio is a necessary tool to drive the character he is attached to forward, he is a device to sell both his and his ally's growth. He is another example of an NPC in need of personal overhaul, his prominent flaws at the moment will push the plot forward and expose some issues brewing in the world.
Goal
Attain strengths that assure him. Ascend in shinobi status. Stand on the same grounds as those around him.
What makes them cool?
Unimpressive is his brand, he tries at least. Being badass escapes him and likely won't try to find him. If he were to reexamine himself, he could be cool in other fields.
Additional Goal(s)
Refine his bartending skills. Leave his lasting mark on the world.

Desire
Akio desires to expand his knowledge and grow into a fully independent person in a magical society.

Facial Characteristcs

An oval shape with a prominent chin.

Speech Patterns

Concise and eloquent.

Body type

A healthy, fit body.

Sight

A young adult with a wild head of gold. With a pinch of feminine fashion.

Smell

A clematis scent. His aroma should be bottled up and sold with how sellable it is.

Touch

The texture of his skin is muscled, but thin.

Emotional State

Mostly at ease. He relishes in his free time by reading in bed or drinking some tea.

Happy

Very cheery and jovial. It is hard to be down when his mood is so infectious. He rambles on for hours on end, it is difficult to escape his sudden monologues.

Sad

A rain cloud of self-deprecation forms above Akio when in a sorrowful mood. His mood drastically drops and he is rendered stiff from insecure joints.

Angry

The disposition to his anger is dependent on the level of it. Sometimes it could be considered cute how unimposing he is. But if he is seriously offended, he could come off as obnoxious and unnecessarily dramatic.

  • Akio's chakra nodes seem to have swollen in power
  • Akio's training is starting to unhealthily affect him
  • Akio Kawakami

    Akio is one that scales higher and higher for something that does not recognize him. His actions seek to better a want of his, but his needs severely lack in priority. He enjoys absorbing new information and applying fundamentals from any topic. What he applies it to is up to him.

    Physical Description

    General Physical Condition

    A vessel of not enough muscle mass. A body not dexterous enough nor strong enough. But that matters not for his vessel means well.

    Body Features

    His rosy white skin is clear and lazy of markings.

    Facial Features

    There is a sweet little beauty mark under his left eye.

    Special abilities

    Yeesh.

    Apparel & Accessories

    A form fitting uniform for training that leans between masculine and feminine. It is a simple but respectable fit.

    Mental characteristics

    Sexuality

    Man do I smell like a homosexual.

    Education

    At Genin level, Akio is more than brushed up on the basics of taijutsu and battle tactics. But removing himself from a shinobi equation is where his intellect truly shine. Being well knowledgeable could even be considered a trait of his. If a scenario's solution were up to formula or equation, Akio would excel beyond the status quo.

    Employment

    Akio has not considered touching any other career but the one he has currently: the Cub Bar's bartender. The bar is his solace, it is his comfort. He has a soft spot for his job there and does not care much for his father's wishes of the place. He takes time researching and developing new entertaining bar tricks to woo the patrons who have the pleasure of being tended by him. He studies the many tastes that different alcohols have to properly play with all of them. He loves mixing and matching different casks to form an all new flavor.
