Atsushi

"I don't follow by yer rules, so don't go thinkin' ya can order me 'round."
Atsushi is a reaper who hasn't shown up in a week just yet. He was from Akihabara, having been apart of the Melodi Metali gang. He wasn't always hanging out in Akihabara before his transfer, wandering around, no matter the relations between the districts.
==Appearance==
Atsushi has medium length bleached blond hair, with dark black roots that poke out from under the blond locks. It's cut just above his shoulders, and styled in a manner that most of his hair hangs over the right side of his face in a sweep style. The rest of the hair hangs tucked behind his ears, which he sometimes pulls into a low ponytail.
He has slightly tanned skin, looking sun-kissed, possibly having Polynesian roots. He is fit, though not overly muscular, indicating he keeps active but not actually working out. His eyes are small in size, though is likely from him keeping them halfway closed most of the time, which are light brown in color.
He is usually seen wearing dark colored tank tops, with low necklines, though they are normally black. He wears these un-tucked, with cargo shorts, having a lot of pockets, usually black or dark grey in color. On his feet are black sandals, which vary between flip-flops or slip-ons. 
He's got his ears pierced, studs in both lobes, two hoops orbital on his left ear, one helix hoop and two auricle studs on his right ear. He's also got a belly button piercing. Aside from that, he wears a black collar around his neck, that looks similar to a dogs collar, but leather. Last but not least, is an anklet, which is silver in color and has a little white gem on it, possibly a diamond.
==Personality==
Atsushi is very outgoing, having a very lax aura to him while he's talking with people. However, this lax persona he has, makes him come off as slightly uncaring and nonchalant in a way. People didn't realize the underlying manipulative nature he had hidden behind that lazy smile. The fact he could come off so laid-back made him easy to approach, a chill person to talk to and hang out with. 
But again, this was all a front for his darker side, which was manipulative, even to the point of instigating, all his teasing. His teasing could come off playful but there was always a touch of malice to it, one that often slipped under an unsuspecting person's radar. Most of the time he would just come off as a mischievous trickster, with no foul intent. This helped him plenty as it allowed him to pit people against each other with a few phrases.
His dishonesty was to the point that he sometimes expressed caring for someone, a player, to the point of being a 'guiding' hand to their 'redemption'. Which isn't to say that he didn't try, he was aiming for them to win after all. To grow as a person, but he did it in such a fashion that they should realized that not everyone has good intentions when they offer help. It was to this end that he justified this 'two-faced' persona he had, all as a means to show the players how the world really is.
== Noise ==
His noise form is a large, 7-8 foot large raven with tribal marked wings as well on his beak. His form is black with the noise patterns being light blue to dark blue in a gradient fashion, the darker shade closer to the body while the lighter shade to the tips of the winds. The wing span is closer to 10-12 feet, giving him an overly large appearance when flying. He's also got brilliantly blue eyes that are a complete contrasts to his dark form. 
He can send jolts of lightning from his wings as he flaps them, being his form of attacking. He can also call up storms with a caw, littering the noise plane with bolts of electricity. 
He is called SynthPunk Hrafnfreistuðr while in this form.
==History==
===Pre-Game===
Atsushi was a normal boy, he grew up in a normal family with a normal life, going to a normal school. How utterly boring. And he hated that lifestyle, he hated how dull and 'normal' his life was. But was he willing to go out of his way to change it? Not really, why bother if it likely wouldn't change anything. That was his mentality. It was probably this mentality that caused his death, up against a group of boys barely his senior. They beat him within an inch of his life, all because he had stepped on some kid's shoes. Not that it mattered. He lived an uninteresting life, he was going to die the same it seemed.
===Game (Akihabara)===
At least that was what he thought, before he woke up in the Underground, no longer dead, no longer feeling the pain the being beaten as he had been. And it was then that the game soon started, where he was going to be fighting for his life, or rather what was left of it. Sadly, that defeated attitude of his was what was taken, his inattention and conformist nature. He was freed.
But with the lose of his 'meek' nature, grew a worse one. He felt the need to survive, by any means necessary. He wasn't afraid to trick his way through the game, even at the detriment of others. It got to the point he didn't even care about the life of his partner, which ended in his near downfall. With the passing of his partner, as she was erased, he was left with few choices. He could die himself... or he could accept the proposition of becoming one of them.
Now that was an interesting offer. He could survive, and from the sounds of it, he could forget about that boring life of his. He could do what he wanted, enjoy life to the fullest and have FUN. That interested him greatly, so he accepted the offer. He cared about about his fee, he was better off without it in his mindset. He could remember how boring life was when he was alive, this was a much better change, and he was going to keep it. No matter what.
=== Post-Game ===
Atsushi lived his life, or rather what was left of his life as a reaper, in Akihabara, working with his game between games to try and get the gang, the Melodi Metali up in the dominance game. But he also didn't care too much, as long as he survived and had fun doing it, that was all that mattered to him. And then there were the games, where he could help the players on their way, or deter them as a means to let them grow. Again, that didn't matter to him that much.
But it soon became a drone of rinse and repeat. Fight for dominance, guide players, dominance, players. So on and so forth. It became boring, much like his old life, and he grew bored of it, like most things. It was through this boredom that he ventured out from Akihabara, exploring the other districts within the Tokyo area. Some reapers cared not for his 'intrusion' some others... were a little more forceful.
But he took it all in stride, simply enjoying the unpredictable nature of it all. And it was because of this lifestyle he decided he wanted a change of pace, a different district to have fun in. He was going to transfer. Goodbye repetitive Akihabara, hello new district.
==Relationships==
===Isamu===
Isamu Tanaka is the leader of Atsushi's gang, who he doesn't talk to much, as the leader is very much into the ideal of isolating oneself. Atsushi shares that similar sentiment, wanting to be on his own like the leader. He knows very little about the leader or the other members of the gang for this very reason. 
=== Melodi Metali (Gang) ===
Atsushi joined the gang after he had lost his partner in a battle, not that he cared much her. But he enjoyed the fun lifestyle of the gang, until later on and he found how incredibly boring the people of that gang could be, much to the uncaring attitude of his gang. They didn't even care when he ventured out into the other districts. Even less so when he wanted to leave. No one missed him, that likely was certain.
=== Yui ===
Yui Yamamoto was Atsushi's partner during his game, though he can't remember her very much. All he knows is that she had been a very headstrong girl at the start, but as soon as day one occurred, she underwent a massive change. She questioned everything she did, often asking him for his opinion or advice, stuff that he never felt the need to give. Eventually, she got erased, which was a relief for him in the end, because at least then he didn't have to babysit her anymore.
==Trivia==
*Atsushi has a perchance for sweets, including ice cream, chocolate and donuts. His favorite is smoothies though, which he gets from Starducks a lot.

*He used to be into mythology before his death, likely where he got his noise name.
