## Biography

### History

The youth was discovered in Japan, with seemingly no recollection of his past. The name was used to refer to him after he was found charred and lacking clothing in a crater caused by a shining meteor which had fallen from the sky.

He was discovered by a high school girl named Chizuru Yagami in a field due to mysterious circumstances which even he does not know, or care to disclose. She in turn gave him the name 'Akira Asuka'. Among other nicknames, he turned down "Ryusei", as he thought the idea of being called a meteor was a bit too far given the circumstances. He seems to understand Japanese and English, and may potentially understand other languages, though this remains to be tested.

To this end, he takes advantage of Chizuru's sympathy towards his alleged assault by monsters, which she assumes to be the case despite Asuka not confirming nor denying that to be so. He spends his time living in her home as she looks for her father, seemingly lost in the chaos around the time of Asuka's appearance. At some point, he acquires a red Gespenst, which while ordinarily a fairly simple mech is made incredibly versatile and agile through Asuka's own customizations, the extent of which he has yet to disclose.

While unsympathetic to the plights of other people, Chizuru's determination to help others begins to awaken a greater sense of awareness and responsibility regarding his fellow man. While he seeks to gain answers regarding his mysterious past, he acts as an independent mercenary, fighting for whichever force gives him money while he beats up dimensional beasts. For his own sake, he keeps whatever he does remember about himself a secret, though he may be the key to answering some mysteries regarding the goings on with the Earth.
