Akira Harukami

**Akira Harukami** is a Lich slayer, for The Lich slayer corps. Akira became a Lich slayer in order to save his sister from the coma she has been in for 2 years. As well as that he also wants to gain more power to finally make a change to the entire Velboe race; as he does not agree with a lot of their ideology and hopes to be the person to represent what his sister wanted for the Velboe race.

Before becoming a Lich slayer, Akira was a nobody to the Velboes or what they meant. His main task was to feed and clean the horses of the leaders of the Harukami Nomads.

## Appearance

Akira is a young man who turned 17 before joining The Lich slayer corps. Akira has a pale colour skin tone, with a tiny hint of purple (As all Velboes have) For his body frame, Akira has an average amount of muscle mass. He has lilac coloured, nose length, wavy hair that has more of a deep purple colour at the ends. Akira has a mask that covers his entire face with only the eye sockets being visible. On the mask, there is a dark blue line striking down from the right hand of his forehead that runs down the eye socket down to his bottom lip. He wears this mask in order to hide the humiliating face that he bears: the face that was too weak to save his sister, to help his friends and to change The Velboes. So Akira has vowed to wear this mask until he deems himself worthy of having a face that he can show his sister when she awakes and to have a face that can stand up to the Velboes. As for clothing, Akira does not really have the best fashion sense, as he doesn't buy clothes instead he sows them and because he isn't that experienced with sowing, he never really puts anything flashy on them. What we usually see Akira wearing is a dark blue/black tattered trench coat that flows below his knees. Underneath the trench coat, he wears a plain white t-shirt and wears loose black coloured trousers. Around his body, he will use leather straps to secure everything in place as he doesn't want everything flowing everywhere when he rides violet as that would be a hindrance for him and her. Unfortunately, Akira can not make shoes so as an ultimatum, when he is in another city with his party he will buy brown calf boots.

## Personality

Akira is a strong willed and ambitious person, who wont ever stop fighting in this world until he has seen his goal fulfilled fully. We can see many examples of these qualities throughout the story. We see his strategic qualities throughout battles and with general things such as time efficiency and party protection. We have seen him come up with plans (in Bvadar Port) which resulted in the victory between them and their enemies, granted the party did help with ideas but he was still able to adapt and aid them in victory . An example of how strong his will is, is where he was fighting against the black flamed lich with his party. In this battle we saw his fighting-arm being burnt down to the bone, we saw his body in it's debilitating state yet he poured out all of his energy to ensure the party doesn't die and that they can foresee their goals in life. Akira is also extremely ambitious, which can sometimes lead to his downfall due to the ignorance he shows whilst in a state of ambition, a representation of his ambition is when he led the party to the hospital in the anarchy of Bvadar Port (when it was be swarmed by liches) in order to save his sister from the Liches that swarmed the hospital, knowing well all the party could die in an instant. The battle there was tough and we saw Akira at 100% throughout the fight and it proved to be for something good as he was able to save his sister from the liches with the gamble.

As Akira is only 17, it is expected that he has a flamboyant and unpredictable personality around the party. We can see the happiness that he has with the party especially with Brognaelfirenkir as they even went as far to poor trash onto Heinberg just for a prank. We also see him encouraging small little sparring matches and even placing bets on who would be the victor. However, Akira gets extremely agitated when he sees the party and himself underperforming and he usually holds them in 'debt' as he does not want his life to be lost in a world like this and leave his sister all alone. The other reason is that he doesn't want to see his friends die on him that is why we can see him being very blunt and honest when he believes someone is jeopardising the party. An example for the 'debt' was were he made Heinberg pay for the map due to underperforming but that is only half of what he sees a 'debt' completed, the other half is unknown as he has never confronted anyone with the second part of 'debts'.

He also has a commanding personality, as we see him making decisions for the party a lot of the time and usually is the first one to start the conversation. He does this so he can keep his sense of authority when he is talking amongst his peers and it usually works as no one really intervenes with his endeavours when he talks to the party. We can also see his commanding personality through his 'other half' violet, even though he believes they are equals he will not hesitate giving a harsh task for her to follow as long as they all succeed one of his hardest tasks for both of them was telling her to leave when Akira was in battle with the half lich.

## Fighting style

For Akiras sword skills, he uses Jousting and Kendo. He usually uses more jousting techniques when on Violet but will still use kendo techniques when on Violet. When he is not mounted on Violet, he uses a broad range of kendo techniques.
