☽ for the most part, aku keeps to himself. he's not the kind to seek
out companionship willingly, a bit asocial, he tends to go
throughout his daily life by himself and doing things on his own.
his head in the clouds, it's not often his mind is quiet, always
buzzing with thoughts about one thing or another with no real
peace and quiet. aku is a bit snappy, having a tongue made of
knives and a sort of temperamental attitude, making him easy to
irritate and thus fun to toy with if one doesn't fear him from his
quiet but foreboding aura. while often mean-sounding, he is not
mean-hearted, actually a gentle soul who just doesn't know how to
get his feelings across in a healthy or proper way. soft, he does
desire companionship in some shape or form, though he would
never verbalize this, both out of embarrassment and just from not
knowing how. he's a bit hard on himself, getting frustrated with
himself easily if he doesn't perform as he expects himself to,
though not nearly as hard on others despite his cold tones and his
inability to express warm approval. incredibly patient with others,
he does his best to be understanding, though his easy-to-rile
emotions often get in the way of his judgement, and he feels guilty
for yelling at others when they don't deserve it. apologizing is a
difficult feat for him, and quite embarrassing and damaging to his
pride, though he will force himself to do it if necessary. as harsh
as he is, he in no way intends to make enemies and tries to keep
that at a minimum, though he doesn't take antagonizing lightly and
has no problems deepening a rift that others build between them. ☽
☽ aku was born to two well-known people, both heroes in their own
respects. they had trouble with conceiving, a bunch of
miscarriages and birth defects visible in the womb making getting
pregnant and carrying a healthy child a nightmare. when aku was
conceived, it was skeptical he would be birthed, and once he was
born, no one believed that he would live beyond a few weeks. born
with a myriad of health issues, he was somehow spared any
immediate life-threatening defects, and surprisingly thrived
much to his parents excitement. an only child, he lived a lonely
life, his parents often busy with their work as heroes and either
leaving him with sitters, or alone once he got old enough to care
for himself, so he ended up raising himself for most of his life.
while understanding of his parents situations and that they love
him dearly, he couldn't help but be consumed with dark thoughts,
being left alone way too often for way too long. not enough time
with his parents stunted his social development, and he struggled
to make friends, kids often not wanting to be around those who are
socially awkward and timid. as the years went by he grew
unbothered by the loneliness, altering his lifestyle to such an
isolating existence, though as he got older, he also began to act
out a bit due to the stunted emotional development. jeopardizing
his parents' careers with his sharp tongue and, now, his fists, they
ended up sending him off to live on his own to attend a more elite
and vigorous school in the hopes that it would mellow him out, not
quite understanding that this all could be mended by them coming
home earlier and taking the time to eat dinner with him, and
not quite aware of what school would actually be recruiting him. ☽
☽ aku's quirk is called 'wolf of the moon'. an odd blend between a
mutation quirk and an emitter quirk, the most noticeable part of it
is that it gives him wolf or canine-like features, such as prominent
canines, harder and sharper nails, thicker hair, and the most easy
to see, ears and tail. it alters his body in a bit that can't be see,
such as enhanced sight, especially in the dark or at night,
enhanced sense of smell, different muscle composition, along with
some behavioral alterations that is more like an animal's instead of
a human's. he's a bit stronger than 'a typical human' without
activating his quirk, to which he harnesses the power of the moon,
either healing others or knocking people back with strong
emissions of light or lunar energy, though it works best if he is in
direct contact with the rays of the moon, where, kind of like a
werewolf, he is empowered by the presence of the moon and gains
a bit more of an animalistic quality to himself. if he overuses his
quirk, he comes exhausted and fatigued, and needs to absorb the
moon's rays before being able to use it again. an odd blend
between his parents' quirks, which has to do with lunar
manipulation and a transformation wolf quirk. [wip; will

☽ aku's faceclaim is ayato kirishima from tokyo ghoul. he has longer
indigo hair, thick and quite close to fur in texture, with a set of wolf
ears on his head a similar shade. his eyes are a silvery-blue that
tend to look as if they're glowing [and actually glow in the
dark/moonlight], thinner and canine-like in shape, with pale skin
decorated in a bit scarring, mostly from multiple surgeries
throughout his lifetime. he's about five-five in height, a bit shorter
than average, and not all that heavy, with a thick-furred wolf tail
sitting behind him.
aku tends to wear a bit of silver, be it in the form of piercings or
necklaces and bracelets. he dresses in darker colored clothes,
often long and flowing, with a cloak he never goes anywhere
without, as he uses it to hide his tail and ears, as if embarrassed
by them. he keeps his body covered at all times and dislikes
exposing his own skin, summer being his least favorite season, as
he has to wear appropriate clothes, heat exhaustion being too
deadly for him for to risk.
akin to lie ren's volume four attire, he exposes only his shoulders
in his hero outfit, wearing long pants, thick boots, a muscle top,
and fingerless gloves that end about mid upper arm, combines
with a long cloak that ends at his heel with a hood that drapes
over his face, specialized to capture moonlight easier than normal
wear [similar to how solar panels work, but for lunar light] and
allow him easier access to it. ☽
☽ a few of the disorders aku is afflicted with are
-sickle cell anemia, where red blood cells contort into a sickle
shape. the cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood
cells, and can block blood flow causing pain
-cystic fibrosis, a hereditary disease that affects the lungs and
digestive system. the body produces thick and sticky mucus that
can clog the lungs and obstruct the pancreas
-and hemophilia, where blood doesn't clot normally because it
lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins ☽
