The average gravitational pull on Earth, or the “standard gravity”, is 9.8 m/s[sup]2[/sup]. The closer to 0 m/s[sup]2[/sup] the gravity becomes, the more force Akira must exert. At his current mastery, he can lower the gravity to close to 1 m/s[sup]2[/sup]. On the other hand, increasing the gravity is somewhat easier as it can be more easily visualized as a pulling force. Akira can increase the gravity of the Earth up to 20 m/s[sup]2[/sup] (To set a point of reference, Jupiter has a gravity of 24 m/s[sup]2[/sup] and would be ridiculously difficult to move upon but would generally fail to cause stress fractures unless bone integrity is especially low.). He can also generate up to 5 m/s[sup]2[/sup] of gravity without an original source such as the earth. [i]tl;dr - Akira can manipulate gravity with a limit of 0 m/s[sup]2[/sup] to between Saturn and Jupiter’s gravities.[/i] [color=f0bfdd][b]Quagmire-[/b][/color] Akira increases the gravity in the area of his target, making the effort required to move a few times greater as 100 lbs turns into 200 lbs. Lifting limbs, maneuvers, acrobatics, etc. become a great deal more tiresome, if even possible. [color=f0bfdd][b]Singularity-[/b][/color] Akira creates a gravity well within his line of sight or spatial comprehension that has differing levels of strength depending on Akira. Maximum strength and area of effect at 5 m/s[sup]2[/sup] and 30 square meters (98 ft). This is Akira’s specialty as he can slightly manipulate his movements as well as the movements of others with singularities, causing his fighting style to be extremely unpredictable. His maximum range for utilizing a singularity is about 100 meters. [color=f0bfdd][b]Suspension-[/b][/color] Akira decreases the gravity to the point that an area maximum of 30 square meters maintains a strength of gravity significantly less than the moon’s. 100 lbs becomes 10 lbs.

Akira is skilled with the pistols but as he favors melee combat, his proficiency may be lacking compared to those who take the time to master firearms.

Generally Akira does not carry the weapon unless his mission specifies its applicability [/list] [center] [hr][b][color=f0bfdd] -=[[color=96768a]Personality[/color]]=-[/color][/b][hr] [/center] Pleasant. Akira fits in with any crowd and is generally very agreeable. He sets the world of the Gryphes on one side, and his own world on the other. In his own world he is lazy and easygoing. He hangs around various communes without any goal beyond relaxing and enjoying himself. Even in his own world, he is belligerent if someone wrongs him, and he does not hesitate to punish those around him for their transgressions. Where Akira is belligerent while off-duty, he is ruthless when it comes to matters regarding the Gryphes. His methods are often lacking in empathy to anything but his aligned interests, and apathy to morals takes a prominent role in a majority of Akira’s actions. When it comes to killing, Akira can be described as nothing other than wolfish and predatorial. The one thing that is shielded from his cold countenance is that of his house. He will sacrifice every cell in his body to protect fellow Gryphes, thus he is often looked upon with a sort of ‘big bro’ attitude. [center] [hr][b][color=f0bfdd] -=[[color=96768a]History[/color]]=-[/color][/b][hr] [/center] Since Akira was born, he was raised with endless nourishment and opportunity as the son of a prominent figure in House Gryphes. From the ripe age of 3, Akira was already geared towards a combative role in life. Growing up, he received rigorous training in both long-range combat as well as short-range combat, this meant proficiency in both ballistics as well as numerous melee weapons, thus his arsenal is diverse and extensive. As he developed, Akira’s ability to manipulate gravity became more and more prominent, thus he was often trained where he was forced to manipulate gravity to survive. Carrying out jobs by the time he had turned 12, Akira’s proficiency to kill was nearly disturbing. His first kill barely irked him and he only became more professional as time passed. With each kill, he began to enjoy the hunt more and more and he became the leading contract killer in House Gryphes. As he quickly rose through the ranks and proved himself, he soon became the direct underling of the House’s leader. As his position rose, so did the responsibilities, and he had to learn not only how to better fight, but also how to manage finances and practice diplomacy. Akira, if anything, always adapted quickly and took his responsibilities on in stride. From his current position, he serves with utmost dedication to the point that he must be told to go on break.
