About: The 'rabid dog' of the Port Mafia. Akutagawa is someone who values actions over words, sometimes to others understandable dismay. He's a bit cold and a bit snappy at times, but he's not COMPLETELY a bad person, just one who has....killed a LOT of people and sees the world in a very cynical lens. He's redeemable! Maybe! He has fanatical loyalty to those who seem worthy to him, and disdain for anyone who he sees as beneath that.
Abilities: Akutagawa's ability is Rashomon. It's been nerfed considerably, but it has several forms and mostly depends on his emotions/his strength/his creativity/what clothes he's wearing/etc. He can use his coat to form into a great beast that can devour spacetime and attack with it, same with anything else he's wearing since Rashomon is defined as 'control of clothing'. It's pretty strong, but he's not creative enough to make it fully grow to its full potential.
PLANS General: I'd like Akutagawa to slowly open up more. He's kind of not used to the whole 'friendship' thing so having him get used to it would be good. He might bond best with people who kind of understand how he operates. His journey here is going to be a lot of him stepping out of his shell since he's alone, so there's a lot of opportunity and we're just now starting, really. My ultimate goal is to get him to grow past his worship of Dazai, but....that'll take some doing.
CR Dreams: I'd love for Akutagawa to get actual....friends. Lmao. He has no idea how friendship works so ppl offering? to befriend him? wow. amazing. He's not someone who'll take well to the good-hearted hero sort but I can see him bonding with people who are able to get him out of his shell and people who are patient-ish. Maybe people who remind him of home? Anyone who might understand mafiosos.
