## History

### Early Life

Kaori and Akinori (twins) were born to Melissa Kasumi, a clear sighted and Raijin The Japanese god of lightning, thunder and storms San Francisco, California on October 29, 2004. Melissa Kasumi was weather forecaster at a local news station. Even though of her wonderful paying job she was depressed. Melissa' ex married her only for her money. Her house had plenty of rooms but she only used one. One day while she was going home from a forecast show there was a huge storm. This wasn’t in the forecast and Melissa was confuse. Then her car broke down. She tried call someone but there was now service. Then a very handsome man and Melissa didn't notice, asked if she needed help. Melissa nodded and told him about her problem. The man said he will gladly help. The strange man (who claimed himself as Rogger) helped Melissa push her car to a nearby gas station. Then drove her home. The two talked all about weather and such. Finally Rogger dropped Melissa off at her house. Then he asked her if she wanted go have some coffee the next day. Melissa happily agreed. The two then dated for a few weeks. Then Melissa became pregnant. She was excited about this. She had new family. Now she won’t be lonely her whole life. On October 29th two beautiful babies named Akinori and Kaori were born. But after that Rogger disappeared. In fact Melissa didn't see him when the twins were born. But Melissa knew he will come back. But he never did.

### Childhood

Kaori and Akinori Kasumi were known as the Troublesome Twins. The two caused so much trouble in school that they had to be home schooled at age 8. Their mom was depressed but didn't show it because she didn't want to worry her children. When the twins were 10 Melissa got married to a man named Cedric Lewis. Cedric loved Melissa but hated her children. Cedric was the worst stepfather you could possibly have. Though he wasn't abusive, he got very easily anger at the twins. Once the twins were playing in his office when they broke a very valuable vase that was from China (Cedric was a traveler). He got so mad that he grounded the twins for a month. The real reason Cedric hated the twins was because he had a twin himself and didn't like his twin and whenever he looked at the twins it always reminded him of his sister. But most of the time he thought the twins were just a burden. When the twins were 11, Melissa and Cedric had a baby named Jacob. Melissa was too busy taking care of the new baby she barely paid attention to the twins.

### Monster Encounter

One day while the twins were 13 taking a walk down the sidewalk when they saw two red birds flew (harpies) over head. One flew down and tried to scratch Kaori but she quickly ducked. She got look of the red bird. It had really ugly face. The other one tried to attack Akinori but he ducked. The twins quickly rain home the weird birds following close behind. The twins finally made it to their house and Akinori locked the door. Then he saw a girl with a bow arrow sneak behind the birds and attacked the birds. They exploded into a ball of dust.

### Coming to Camp

When the twins were 14 and their family moved to Big Bear City because Melissa got a new job there. When in the new city, they met a boy with Cerebral Palsy named Billy who was their neighbor. Billy was strange and very distant. The twins was very good friends with Billy. One day, while the twins were at central park when a hell hound started walking toward Kaori he screamed and started backing up. Akinori thought he was seeing things. Then Billy came out of nowhere a started throwing arrows at the hell hound, Soon it exploded into dust. Billy said that he will explain everything later. Billy and the twins went home. Billy told Melissa about Camp Olympia and such. The twins listen. At first they didn't believe him, but when he pulled down his pants showing he was a satyr, they changed their minds. Melissa though was still confused though it made sense Rogger having to leave and him never coming back. The twins packed their bags and began to walk towards the edge of the woods near Big Bear Lake. It took 4 hours when they finally arrived. They ran through entrance where the been ever since. The twins were 14 when they got to camp. They were soon claimed as the first children of Raijin

## Personality

Akinori is mostly seen as quiet, stoic, and silent, usually seen with a neutral look on his face, or sometimes, a scowl. He often doesn't talk much or show a lot of emotion; things are not worth his time, he finds it pointless in showing emotion, however, he surprises people when he shows emotion to Kaori. Akinori *does not care* about the whole Pantheon argument but sticks with the other Japanese demigods since he has social anxiety. Though despite his hard, stoic, silent personality, he has a soft side for his younger twin sister, Kaori, whom he is highly protective over. Akinori isn't a big “people” person and doesn't like to go to large events. At the age of eight, he was diagnosed with a mild form of social anxiety and has been working on overcoming it since. Despite that, Akinori can talk with others, being able to befriend his cousin Shaun Igarashi, son of Susanoo. He has one fault; very quick to anger. It doesn't take him long to get angry at anyone or anything. When it involves Kaori his anger appears much faster and it makes it harder for him to calm down. He later revealed that Shaun is someone else that can push Akinori buttons. The other teen just *annoys* Akinori to the day's end. He tries to understand him and get to know him, but he just can't. Once, the guy annoyed Akinori so much, he ended up electrifying him (not enough to hurt him but enough to make him stop), but he is usually antisocial and quiet.

### Fatal Flaw

Akinori's fatal flaw is his loyalty. Meaning he would risk the world and even his own life to save his friends and family

## Powers and Abilities

### Raijin Kid Powers

* **Electricity manipulation:** As the son of Rajin, Akinori inherited the power to control lightning. He can control, absorb, conduct, generate and store electrical energy.
	+ **Electricity generation:** He can generate electricity out of nothing, which he has full control over this and can decide how much lightning he releases. He can make his lightning appear with the snap of his fingers, which often gets people to back away from him if he is annoyed
	+ **Electricity projection:** He can project his lightning in various attacks, such as beams, bolts, blasts, waves, balls, and scattershot
	+ **Electrokinetic constructs:** He can create constructs out of lightning. Any construct he makes contains a lightning-aura, which can and cannot shock people, all depends on the creator
	+ **Electricity Immunity:** Akinori is immune to electricity and thus can't get hurt by it. Should he get struck by lightning, he'd most likely get a power surge.
	+ **Electricity absorption and redirection:** He can absorb electricity and redirect it.
	+ **Shocking:** As he constantly is generating lightning throughout his body, Akinori shocks anyone who touches him. He sometimes forgets that touching him can shock people. Since he isn't much of a people person, it doesn't bother him.
	+ **Electric conductivity:** Akinori's body is naturally electrically conductive. He can also induce electrical conductivity in external targets by charging them with electricity
	+ **Electrical energy manipulation:** Like Kaori, Akinori is also able to generate and manipulation electrical energy and use it for various things.
		- **Electrical energy-telekinesis:** Akinori can utilize his electrical energy powers in the form of telekinesis. Whenever he uses this power, any item or object is surrounded by a dark teal aura.
* **Storm manipulation:** In addition, Akinori also inherited Raijin's power over storms. He constantly works with Kaori to try to help her control this power, sometimes with little to no success. Akinori rarely uses this power, as it's one of the stronger bits of his powers
	+ **Storm generation:** He can generate storms, but due to its power doesn't use it as much
	+ **Thunderstorm generation:** He has the potential to generate thunderstorms. But, since his storm powers are more than he can handle right now, he doesn't use them as much

Through their siblings, Akinori became more acquainted with the son of Zeus, who also has storm and lightning powers. Aside from his sister, Akinori considers Isaac one of his closest and possibly best friends. Akinori was the first person Isaac confided with on his growing feelings for the daughter of Aphrodite, Angelica. At first, Akinori and Isaac did not interact, not even doing "hellos" or "goodbyes" when passing each other at camp It was thanks to both their sisters (technically Aubrey is Isaac's step-sister) meeting did they begin to talk and get to know each other
