Nicolas Rainwater

**Aki** is the main protagonist in **Yesterday's Calamity**. He is also the current personification of the Pale Rider "**Death**" and currently resides in Hades as it's new ruler. He is known as Thanatos of the Four Horseman who rode against the Nephilim who stole the Seven Seals. Before claiming the power of Death, he was officially known as the Grim Reaper; an experimental mercenary in the B.C.A due to his exposure and resistance to Stan Albert's PROJECT: BLIGHT, and survived the events that took place inside Stan Alberts Mansion of June 15, 2003.

## Appearance

Aki is a young child of below average height and muscular build. He has a fairly long, and sharp face, and sizable, expressive, bright red eyes. His eyebrows are sparse and often furrowed, making him seem troubled or annoyed. Aki's hair is long and blood red, pure white being it's natural color, with his hair falling naturally into a middle-parted, unkept style. His complexion is also extremely pale but gains more color later on. After his training in Hades, and during his time as a mercenary, he became very physically fit and muscular.

Aki is first seen wearing royal attire in Hades, which consisted of a large black cloak, trousers, a white shirt with a medallion at his neck with his true name Thanatos inscribed on it, and simple black shoes. A few years after being hired by the **B.C.A**, he also wore a metal face mask to hide his then exposed skull. Aki is often seen in the typical black cloak when on duty. His casual attire consists of a long, white shirt (identical to that which he wore on his first appearance) that is worn under a red sports jacket, black trousers, and white shoes. He always keeps the necklace he was given by **the Mori** underneath his shirt.

By the time Aki infiltrates Pandora in the year 2004, Aki has grown visibly taller due to his genetics being altered by PROJECT: BLIGHT, and his hair has cut up to shoulder length. He has a slight mustache and goatee, as well as the mask that he wore during his C.B.A missions. To maintain his cover, he wears the Olympus armband around his right arm. Later when he was imprisoned following his infiltration of the Kemono Gang, he is shown being cleanly shaved.

## Personality

> "That boy... when I met him, I saw his emotionless face atop his pale skin, I looked into his eyes... and they were empty. He stood, wiped the blood from his cheek... and smiled, sadistically... I then understood, I understood what became of him that day, he was no child... he was purely and simply... evil."
> The Lamb

Known for his silence, Aki is a cold, yet empathetic man holding an overall bleak outlook on life. Having to endure constant suffering and numerous betrayals since his youth, any joy in his life, in time, became roots of malice. In spite of his pale, brooding exterior, he shows a more easygoing, compassionate side around the people he trusts, appearing more sociable and les distant, though he still shows sides of dry emptiness. Despite his burden being the source of his agony, and prying away at him everyday until he finally breaks, he retains his empathy and compassion, refusing to discard his humanity.

As a child, Aki is oblivious to what the world has become. He doesn't know what to do and how to react but through the trauma he faces, he is molded into the Horseman of Death that the Mori always wanted him to be. Aki is now a calm, arrogant, sarcastic, cold, sometimes oblivious, and calculating anti-hero who is resourceful and opportunistic. In order to achieve his goals he is perfectly capable of committing, at best, thoroughly amoral actions such as aiding in killings, participating in the destruction of entire towns, and striking fear into the earth. Aki also appears to be quite cunning, as shown during the Hells Decimation Arc. During a faceoff, he formulated an intricate plan, based on deceiving his foe rather than fighting, to destroy the Sword of Michael. He is typically extremely ruthless but also possesses a dry, sarcastic wit and sense of humor, and has no problem with speaking his mind to other people or insulting them like calling Venus Vontril a whore in front of her whole house after calling out Silania's shortcomings. Despite his odd cruelness, Aki has demonstrated on numerous occasions that he is fully capable of feeling both remorse and empathy. For instance, Aki has stated that before the Death of Mori, he had never regretted any of his actions, even the most terrible ones, because they were always for a greater cause, and never for his self-gain. However, after learning the truth about what she had done. Aki expressed to Rebecca that he felt considerable guilt over killing so many innocent people, even the Nephilim because the cause was no longer something that he believed in.

## Biography

### **Early Life**

Little is known about Aki's childhood, not even his original name, though it is hinted at that his name was "Seth" by the Lamb; Jesus Christ, during his conversation with Rebecca. "Seth" was a normal kid living with his mom Eve in a small city somewhere outside of Bellum during the year 1994. Early on, his dad Adam, and sister Azura passed away from disease and it mentally destroyed his motivation for anything. He appeared to have a good relationship with them before, and held such a good relation with his sister, that it felt natural for him to talk to her again years later despite not knowing it was her. But a year after they originally passed, he didn't want to do anything anymore, not go to school, not talk to his friends, anything. His mom didn't seem to know due to her work, but Seth was already too far gone if she did.

### **Genesis Arc**

When Mankind was deemed a failure, the Nephilim stole the seven seals to save themselves from their inevitable doom. For this crime, God & Samael condemned the Nephilim to destruction and each picked two humans to bring about a new age of Horseman, but it was Death who bore the greatest burden by being chosen by the Mori.

#### **Nephilim Attack/Meeting The Mori**

During the early events of Chapter 0, the Nephilim attack the city Seth and his mom lived in during their battle with the Angels. The boy alongside his mom and his uncle David, attempt to flee the city, but they run into a major roadblock and are eventually pinned down by the giants. The boy was forced to watch his uncle be killed in front of him, he was then fatally wounded himself and was near death as rage and vengeance was the only thing that he could think of. Before he could pass, time stopped and the Mori appeared, offering her aid. She offers him a deal, she help him, then he helps her. The boy accepts and the Mori kills the two giants responsible and soon Aki blacks out, death finally claiming him.

#### **Training in Hades**

After his death the boy awoke in the depths of Hades with Samael and the Mori awaiting him, who then offered to raise him. Before he could respond, the Mori removed pieces of the boy's memory of his old life to remove those chains of limitation and to mold him into the perfect being of wrath and innocence. After some time, he is sent on his first mission: Reincarnation

### **Reincarnation Arc**

After stepping through the gates of Hades, Aki awakes as a newborn baby being held by his new mother: Vivi. He grows up living a pretty standard life, especially since he does not remember anything about his past life. Until one day, Vivi is killed in front of him, the memories come rushing back and Aki kills the attacker.

### **War for Bellum Arc**

#### **Celebration/Revelation Vison**

After the war is won, the Horseman receive medals for their duty, but it is Aki who is called to receive his from Lady Rem, he kneels and she offers her hand for him to hold. Aki does so, and sees everything through her power of foresight. Aki witnesses the past and future of his life, the creation of the universe, to the murder of Abel. He then sees in Rem's memory, he gains the power of death, and kills the Mori. Afterwards he will unleash the souls of the Damned and declare total war on the Nephilim, subsequently wiping out the remaining 1/4th of the Earth's population he was allowed to kill by God in the effort of Genocide. Aki is left horrified when he realizes what he will become, and that any actions to prevent this will lead to that path.

### **Hells Decimation Arc**

#### **Meeting the Four Horsemen of Salvation**

Pestilence, War, Famine and Death run into their Salvation counterparts: Pureness, Peace, Control, and Life.

## **Powers and Stats**

Death is an immensely powerful and skilled warrior. As the rider of Despair, he´s very acrobatic and uses his tremendous agility to climb, wall run, and leap large distances. He primarily wields the sword "Kinslayer" and scythe "Harvester" or other weapons when needed. He is capable of wielding a wide variety of secondary weapons, from chains, revolvers, gauntlets, and bare hands, to massive swords, axes, and halberds. The Horseman also wore many different pieces of armor though he eventually ditches protection altogether alongside the Kinslayer sword.

### **Physicality**

Death's physicality is significantly superior to most other beings, even those of divine nature. He possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, and combat prowess. His fighting style tends more towards speed than power, as opposed to his sister War, and he at one point charged Michael himself so quickly that the Archangel was unable to react to what could have been a fatal strike had Death followed through. His most unusual physical characteristic is his extraordinary levels of durability and regenerative capabilities, which are unmatched by any other entity seen in the series. He is capable of being cleaved by Chaoseater and getting back up. On another occasion, he was impaled by the sword of Michael. War was slashed across the stomach with it and Pestilence was barely able to help her. Death, however, managed to not only survive his impalement but engaged his assailant immediately, and a few minutes later was completely recovered. During another fight with a Nephilim, he had his torso cut in two along with his arms only to have them grow back.

### **Dark Magic**

Due to his power over death from the Mori, Thanatos has demonstrated the power to summon and converse with the spirits of the dead. He cannot, however, restore the dead to genuine, independent life, and it's only temporary as any summoned spirit will fade back to their respected afterlife once his magic ceases, or their body is destroyed. His command of magic, particularly of necromantic magics, is substantial. With the snap of his left finger, he can teleport short distances, cast blasts of black lightning, create storms of razor-sharp particles of his own blood, or even summon ghoulish constructs at will and could summon small armies worth of them if given time to concentrate. he can only cast one spell at a time, however. One of his most frequently utilized powers in combat is his command of telekinesis, which he utilizes with a snap of his right finger. This allows him to throw his scythe while spinning it in order to carve apart enemies at range, then call it back to his hand.

### **True Form: The Reaper**

Reaper Form is Death's most powerful ability. Once transformed, Death takes on a larger skeletal form. His face is completely hidden in the shadows of a cowl, a large robe envelopes the rest of his body, and black wings sprout from his back. When fighting on the ground he hovers slightly, and is able to use this ability to fly. While transformed, his scythe grows with many skulls engraved into the flat of the blade. Thanatos' abilities during this form are unknown but are likely on a catastrophic level, as he claims to have survived The Abyss whilst in it.
