[color=ed1c24][b]• Name:[/b][/color] [i]Akatsuki.[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Age:[/b][/color] [i]Unknown, believed to be around 17 years old.[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Gender:[/b][/color] [i]Female.[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Race:[/b][/color] [i]Automaton.[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Appearance:[/b][/color] [i][u][url=https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2904410]"I am at your service, my liege."[/url][/u][/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Personality:[/b][/color] [i]One would think that a being made of steel and magic would have no emotions or semblance of humanity. Those who do so are probably going to be very surprised with how humane Akatsuki can be at times. A sheltered existence made her social skills become all weird but she's ultimately a good person, better than most flesh and blood humans, in fact.

Akatsuki's stoic exterior may make her seem to be an aloof being, however, she does have a big soft spot for cute things, especially children, and animals. Being a machine causes her to have certain hardship to comprehend certain concepts which can lead to Akatsuki being easily swindled by, for example, a merchant that selling food at a price far too above the correct one.

The one thing that's certain is that, once she swears service to a lord or cause, she'll devote her full existence to it. Until her duty/contract is done, or she's dismissed. Such devotion can get to self destructive levels sometimes. If she's not stopped, Akatsuki would do anything anything for her current master, up to and including, giving up her own life for their safety. For her master, Akatsuki would even endure being treated as a lifeless machine —or doll, to be abused— despite the fact of how much she hates it when people treat her as if she's an inhuman monster.[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Skills:[/b][/color] [i]As skilled a saboteur, Akatsuki is trained in all manner of covert operations, including, spying, encryption/decryption, infiltration, demolition, assassination, psychological warfare, etc. Almost no tactics are too low for her, including the usage of explosives, poison, hidden weapons as well as martial arts. She also has exceptional stealth and sensorial skills, both from her training and nature as an artificial human. Lastly, but not least, she also has survival and tracking training despite not having any biological needs, given that those skills are also basic for any saboteur. Oh, and she's also quite good at taking care of children, especially reading stories for them...[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Abilities:[/b][/color] [i]Akatsuki is much stronger, durable and faster than a normal human. She's also immune to any manner of disease, poison, doesn't need to breath. However she still needs rest to recharge her spent energy. Moreover, she's able to eat human food and convert it power, but she needs a lot of food —especially sweets— to make up for a proper recharge or her magical energy. Seeing Akatsuki gobbling down food is almost as easy as seeing her with a blade between her fingers. Make of that what you will...

However, Akatsuki's greatest ability is her unique power to control magnetism. She generally utilizes it to create all sorts of weapons made of iron-sand that she carries around in her body. Even if her own iron-sand supply is emptied, she can simply draw more from the ground around her as long as it has enough concentrations of it. This is especially useful in riversides and beaches, which are places naturally packed with iron-sand. This ability is the reason why Akatsuki was known as the Living Forge, Rust Killer, Black Iron Princess, among other names during the Yeln War.[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Equipment:[/b][/color] [i]Despite being able to provide almost any manner of gear she may need on the fly, Akatsuki owns —and cherishes— a short, exotic-looking sword that's the last memento she has of her father. It has her clan's motto "Evil swiftly cut" engraved on its hilt. She also used to own a bejeweled hairpin, another present from her father so that she doesn't forget that she's girl, not a machine, but it was lost long ago. Akatsuki would give almost anything to recover it.[/i]
[color=ed1c24][b]• Brief History:[/b][/color] [i]It's unknown when, how, or by who Akatsuki was built. Being an automaton with specs and abilities far above most of her kind, to the point that she's hard to analyze even for the most proficient machinists, theories about her origins abound. In all likelihood, Akatsuki is a relic of the Yeln Empire and their insanely advanced technomancy, however, there're few ways to prove that theory.

She has occasional flashes, or "dreams", of dark laboratory/workshop as well as shadowy figure that Akatsuki thinks is her creator, or her father, as she likes to think about it. However, none of them are conclusive, leaving her with more questions than answers.

Akatsuki's earliest conscious memory is the day when she joined, or better was taken under the wing of the leader of a Laakian saboteur clan. She was treated as a daughter by the seasoned assassin as well as the rest of the clan, allowing Akatsuki to grow as an individual, despite the extremely sheltered life of saboteurs. The only thing they knew about her is that Akatsuki was "recovered" from a supply convoy belonging to Yeln Empire, they were fully prepared to destroy her before the clan's leader —who had recently lost all of his direct family— decided to take her in.

For years, Akatsuki fought beside her new family, seeing most of them perish thanks to the hardships of their living. One day, when the war was almost over, the remnants of her clan were sent to a mission that turned out to be a trap set by a Yeln spy within the Allied Forces ranks. Needless to say, they were decimated by Yeln Airships. Akatsuki only escaped because her father pushed her off a cliff.

Once again, she didn't know how long she spent unconscious, but Akatsuki's next memory is of being awakened by a machinist and being forced to join a city gang out of gratitude by their boss. Despite the fact that she hates this job, or the way he treats her as if she's less than trash, Akatsuki, is forced to obey him by her saboteur vows.

Maybe fate has something else in stock for her, who knows? One can only hope...[/i]
