## Profile

### Background

A man of mystery who suddenly appeared in this world. His body is endowed with a vital secret, he acts in with utmost secrecy. Once a high ranking officer of the Imperial Army, Akatsuki was believed to have been killed in action but has managed to survive after being frozen in ice for fifty years.

After awakening from his long slumber, he returned to his homeland to discover the scenery had become all too unfamiliar. Despite not knowing left from right in this land, he fully intends to accomplish the mission that he was entrusted with: "In the event the mission fails, destroy the Blitz Motor and erase all traces of its existence".

He had an old friend named Fritz, who is still alive in the era which Akatsuki currently live in. Both Akatsuki and Fritz had been keep in touch each other relating to Gesselshaft’s abuse of using Blitz Motors ever since. He was not the original Akatsuki, but the leader of Military Technique Research facility Gesellschaft, the Akatsuki Zero who now goes by the name Murakumo (or Murakumo Zero to avoid being mistaken for Senran Kagura’s Murakumo). Murakumo and Fritz refers Akatsuki by his code name: Experiment 1. He soon learn that Murakumo was responsible for trapping him to his supposed demise 50 years ago, but his former superior failed as Akatsuki survived and awakened.

There is a possibility after he defeated his universe's Murakumo that he saved En-Eins, who is a sole survivor of his cloning batch, before they begin to hunt the remaining Gesselshaft's army led by Mycale (now known as Perfecti), but in separate ways. Only problem is that Murakumo survived in a new body, who happens to be his clone, Senke Misa, Ni Kanae’s superior.

### Personality

Akatsuki is a calm and stoic man who prioritizes his mission above anything else. He can be serious when the time needs it and will not hold back whenever someone stands in his way, regardless of age or sex. But despite it, he respects his foes enough to wish that they may cross paths on friendly terms should they meet again.

He likes classic Japanese culture and also speaks in a very old fashioned way via his pronoun usage.

## Abilities

Akatsuki's ability is the "EXS of the Thunderclap" (迅雷のEXS), which refers to his Blitz Motor (電光機関ブリッツモーター).

The Blitz Motor is actually a type of weapon that grants the superhuman abilities that are seen in his home series, and is not truly an "EXS" due to the fact that he's not truly an In-Birth. It is also stated to be a military secret as Akatsuki himself merely puts it, leaving its origins a mystery. The Blitz Motor also has the side effect of quickly draining Akatsuki's stamina, which can be replenished through food.

In battle, Akatsuki uses personally-honed military-based martial arts ripped straight from his home universe. His weapon is the military suit he wears. Its correct name in German is Taktischeblitzanzug (戦術電光服), which is German for "Tactical Flash Suit".
Akatsuki is the main character of the game so it's no surprise that he is one of the fireball archetypes with a special moveset consisting of a fireball, uppercut, and flying kick. Following the tradition of many fireball archetypes, Akatsuki is a well-rounded character with moves for practically every situation.
