Akichi Kamino

## Image Gallery

**Akichi Kamino** is the mother of Hikari Kamino. An infamous woman for slaying and stealing from an Angel, she personally trained her daughter until her departure to work with King Yuni.

## Personality

Akichi is a calm, aloof woman who comes off as generally peaceful and even "out of it" at times. She avoids conflict where possible, much like Hikari, and is usually doing what she may to restrain others from engaging in unnecessary fighting. Unlike Hikari however, Akichi can switch entirely from this, to a much crueller demeanor. If doing so, she becomes almost sadistic in how she acts, actively thriving in combat and even getting a kick out of the strife that comes with it.

Whilst presenting herself to others however, usually when meeting others for business, she prefers the latter, or a mix of both; presenting herself as calm and talkative yet more than capable of asserting authority where needed.

## Synopsis

Nothing thus far. Await actual appearances.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Similarly to Hikari, Akichi is an athletic and fit woman herself, and these features carry into how she acts and how she fights. She's a very mobile woman, using her swiftness and agility to her advantage to dart around whilst keeping close to her opponent for maximising damage. She doesn't feature her daughter's uncanny physical strength or endurance (as those come from Hikari's father), though Hikari's natural swiftness on both feet and the air can more than be attributed solely to Akichi's design.

### Light Powers

After an unexplained event in the past during the 500 Year War, Akichi had managed to kill and steal the Light of an Angel; specifically, one named "Ryū" (竜 lit. Dragon). Upon acquiring this Light, Akichi was made biologically immortal and given an uncanny healing factor which would allow her to survive for the next 300+ years in the exact same state, even if unfed, without water, without sleep and without exercise. Whilst Hikari is more diverse and potent in her technique with using Light Powers, Akichi's Light is by a fair margin purely *stronger*.

1. **Teleportation**: Akichi, like most users of Light Powers, can use "Light Warp". Akichi's form of this technique is developed enough to where she can teleport, virtually, anywhere across the globe; her main points of interest however are her daughter and her homestead on her remote island.
2. **Light Blast**: A basic technique where Akichi fires Light from a body part; normally one of her hands. All Light users can do this, and it was the first skill Akichi learnt.
	* **Ryū — Cascading Light**: An advanced version of Light Blast which condenses the energy to its utmost limit, then fires it off as an ultra-thin laser which detonates into an enormous explosion upon collision.
	* **Ryū — Starkiller**: Another form of Light Blast which dissects the beam before firing, transforming one large beam into, at most, one hundred smaller lasers. These lasers do not pack a punch individually, though can easily tear an opponent to shreds when en masse.
3. **Light Hands**: Of course, Akichi can manifest Light around her body, doing so primarily around her fists. This amplifies her striking power and the endurance of her hands.
	* **Ryū — Gauntlets**: By mixing Light Hands with Constructs, Akichi creates gauntlets out of Light. These pack considerably more of a punch than base Light Hands and are far more durable, almost indestructible, making them especially good at deflecting or blocking enemy attacks.
4. **Constructs**: Akichi is capable of hardening Light into a solid form, much like Hikari and 10. Akichi mainly uses this to create barriers or piercing weapons, such as swords or javelin-like shards of Light.
	* **Ryū — Glistening Hail**: By throwing up a ball of Light into the sky, then hardening it and causing it to burst, Akichi causes a hailstorm effect of razor-sharp shards of Light. This move is most effective against larger groups of targets, especially when numbering in the dozens or greater.
5. **Lightspeed**: By using Light around her entire body and "jumping" forward, Akichi can move at uncanny speeds, bordering on those of lightspeed movement. This ability is similar to teleporting in its speed, although Akichi can also attack whilst entering Lightspeed, incredibly upscaling her attack's potency in the process.
	* **Ryū — Blitz**: By combining Light Hands into Lightspeed, Akichi quickly dashes and performs any number of fist strikes. Due to the momentum of using Lightspeed, these punches do insanely more damage to their victim.

1. **Rapid Regeneration**: One part of Akichi's acquisition of Light was her gaining the ability to cause rapid cell growth through Light Powers, an ability devised by the Angels to instantaneously undo grievous injuries. Akichi's version however is uniquely passive, similar to Hikari's though at a higher frequency. This passive regeneration has caused Akichi to be undying, essentially unkillable and unable to age or be taken down by ailments. Essentially, it makes her "immortal".

## Fighting Styles

**Heavenly Guard**: Much like Hikari, Akichi uses Heavenly Guard as her primary fighting style, all thanks to its nature as a Light Powers-innate skill. Akichi's use of Heavenly Guard contrasts Hikari's; whilst Hikari primarily focuses on kicks to apply individual impacts at a higher force whilst maintaining distance, Akichi is almost feral in how she fights and gets very close, using near-instant punches in place of her daughter's more planned-out kicks. This contrast has led to the two having entirely juxtapose fighting styles, with Hikari maintaining more safety than constantly applying pressure and Akichi maintaining the opposite.

### Weapons

**Daggers**: Akichi has a natural finesse with wielding small blades, like daggers, kunai or knives. This finesse with such small weapons leads to Akichi frequently carrying around one of the former types of blade wherever she goes, using them as "self defence" weapons as well as good practise tools. She has an especially notable skill with throwing such blades, having almost perfect accuracy in doing so and being able to do so at much greater distances thanks to her speed and carrying-on strength.

**Firearms**: Akichi had spent many years in her early life learning how to operate an incalculable list of different forms of firearms, as to best utilize all tools at her disposal in killing Ryū. Due to this, Akichi is a great marksman and can be given almost any handgun, rifle, shotgun, or even niche "firearms" like launchers and flamethrowers, and then use them to great effect. This skill pairs well with her use of daggers, as she can use the former to defend herself at close range as well as deflect projectiles whilst using the firearm to counter-attack.

**Traps**: Though barely classified as "weapons", Akichi has experience setting, managing and then triggering traps, and had done so to great effect in her hunting of Ryū some three hundred years ago.

## Trivia

1. Akichi's name, when broken down into its components, is "**Autumn**" (秋 *Aki*), "**Blood**" (血 *Chi*) and "**God of**" (の神 *No kami*). When put together, her name could be read as "**God of Autumn Blood**" (秋の血の神 *Aki no chi no kami*).
	* This was originally due to Akichi's old iteration: when SVR/SVR2 was a part of DBNG, Akichi was Hikari's *ancestor* and an infamous bounty hunter who wielded Light in a similar way she does now. The name of "God of Autumn Blood" was to reference her brutal history of killings. This was all changed as she became two characters: one in SVR's universe and one in DBNG's.
2. Akichi's maiden name (her original surname) is "**Hinode**" (日の出 *Hinode*), which translates to Sunrise.
3. Akichi's favourite colours are purple and yellow.
4. Akichi is the shortest of her family, standing at 5'5 (165.1 cm), four inches shorter than Hikari at 5'9 (175.2 cm) and seven inches shorter than her husband at 6' (182 cm).
5. Akichi is one of the oldest characters in DBNG, only younger than Biocent and Abcell so far.
6. Akichi's favourite beverage is a special cocktail only made on her home island.
7. Akichi has the goal to eventually fight either Biocent or Abcell, given their respective abilities and them being antithesis's of her. Also, because she thinks it'd be a fun experience.
