Character: Goro Akechi | herewardbound Canon: Immediately post-final boss
About: Akechi is a complicated kid from an abusive background who, for much of the source material, is a tightly-wound bundle of pent-up aggression and misdirected hate. He's... doing better, now, though it would be an outright falsehood to say he's anything resembling okay. He's done some really sketchy stuff to put it mildly and while his true complicity in his actions would be up for debate, he still has a long way to go before he makes his way to being merely 'unstable', let alone 'well-adjusted'. Happily, in Reverein he may well have an opportunity to actually exist while not under direct threat of death or totalitarian control, which can only help. He might even make a friend! whose name isn't Ren Amamiya
Abilities: Akechi is an excellent marksman and skilled with a sword- though his true skills lie in the usage of his Persona Hereward, a manifestation of a fragment of his psyche given form. While Hereward is his only Persona currently, in canon he does technically possess the 'Wild Card', which ordinarily would grant him the capacity to summon multiple Personas, born of bonds with others... unfortunately, due to circumstances, he's spent most of his life entirely socially isolated, and his ability to utilize the Wild Card has been stunted. In Songerein, however, with time, perhaps Dreamotion will allow such abilities to take root? assuming people can tolerate him At the moment, though, Akechi's emotional state is... tumultuous at best, and his ability to consciously utilize Dreamotion is badly stunted, with Hereward capable of only the most basic abilities. He's probably going to be unconsciously breaking things around him for a while.
Dreamwalker Form: Bluntly, Akechi in dreamwalker form looks like a Featherman Reject, but that might well change with time, since his outfit largely seems to be dependent on his self-perception.
Plans: Short-term, Akechi's going to be settling in and getting used to the idea of being here. A primary goal for him is uncovering the mysteries of Reverein, especially this 'Story Eater' he keeps hearing about.
CR Dreams: Akechi is difficult to get along with. He's competitive, he's frequently rude if not outright nasty, and he doesn't trust easily. But, with time and effort, Royal shows that beneath the spiky personality there's a desperately lonely kid who's never really been allowed to be himself or just... exist, without someone pulling his strings, let alone have friends. The long-term pipe dream, of course, is having a wide and varied network of friends and trusted Confidants at the end of it all, but if even a small handful are willing to get that close, I'll be happy.
