[u][b]Receiver[/b][/u]
[list][*][u][b]Name[/b][/u]: Akiya Nobuhiko 
[*][u][b]Age[/b][/u]: 16
[*][u][b]Gender[/b][/u]: Male
[*][u][b]Appearance[/b][/u]: [url=http://i.imgur.com/Z48abjB.jpg]"Being the sidekick is fine, I guess."[/url] He has blackish-blue hair, brown eyes, and light skin. 
[*][u][b]Personality[/b][/u]: Unrelenting courage-bordering-recklessness matched by equal stubbornness, combined with an intense drive towards doing the right thing and seeing justice done. In essence, a very troublesome person who cannot abide by those who are willing to just stand by and do nothing. Unsurprisingly, he's a very outgoing person who is more than willing to assist someone in need, and about as much of a dork as his dream would make you think, being prone to cheesy jokes and having the occasional glimpse of his not-so-underlying chuunibyou shine through. But above all, he is someone who could never dream of doing anything half-heartedly. Though able to completely ignore peoples' insults with ease and capable of remaining positive under pressure, he can't stand personal failure or having something bad be the result of his actions. Likely, this is a function of his inability to give less than his very best, and knowing that his very best wasn't enough. Still, he considers himself to be an optimist overall, but that's not exactly right. He's more like the kind of person who keeps everything together in front of others, but then screams into their pillow when they're alone. 
[*][u][b]Skills[/b][/u]: Nobuhiko's most notable skills are his ability to administer first-aid, do household chores, cook good food while relying on a particularly barren budget, fix broken machinery, and, most peculiarly, the skill to tie all sorts of knots. Additionally, he possesses an overall high-level of athletic aptitude, but no combat training other than fighting off playground bullies. However, his greatest assets have to be his absurdly high pain tolerance, and his eye for detail, which he usually uses to incite people to action. A first-class motivator, in other words (Or maybe it would be better to call him a first-class heckler?)
[*][u][b]Brief Backstory[/b][/u]: Nobuhiko is a person who wanted to be a super cool hero ever since he was a little kid. With a tuner uncle feeding him war stories and a childhood watching news stories and shounen anime on the television, the idea of fighting evil creatures and saving the world ingrained itself deep in his psyche. Though he was not very exceptional academically-speaking, he would often go out of his way to volunteer his services to those who needed them and ended up gaining a reputation among his town as a very helpful child. When he'd learned that he would be attending Akiyama-Kreuz Academy, he was ecstatic. He'd finally get his opportunity, he'd finally be able to be a real hero...! And that's when his parents dropped the bomb that he was a Receiver. Evidently they'd been sitting on this fact for quite awhile, but were never willing to break their son's unbridled spirit that, as an Artificial Receiver, he would be delegated to the battery role, with that image of front-line heroism forever lost.
