[b]Base Power:[/b] Telekinesis. At its basic level, Akio can levitate and manipulate small and light objects within his line of sight using his mind (though gestures can help him visualize what he wants to do more easily). He isn’t sure, but his powers are probably connected with the fact that one set of his grand-grandparents owned and managed a small temple. 

[b]History:[/b] Middle school was probably the time Akio truly realized how different he was from the other children. Even though his parents and some teachers noticed even earlier that he had an “overactive imagination,” it didn’t trouble him personally until he made the mistake of mentioning it too many times to his school-mates. They first thought he was just playing around, but eventually either accused him of being a liar or simply got annoyed with him. As such, Akio delved rather strongly into several solitary activities.
 
He got into video games initially just to blend in with others a bit more, which at least prevented him from being a complete loner. His parents tried their all to be as supportive as they could, but Akio knew they worried the more the older he was. Eventually, he simply learned to say that fantasy really interested him, and his mum and dad were both relieved once he convinced them he didn’t believe those things to be real anymore. His dad took him hiking on the rare occasions he had the time to do so, and his mam helped him take care of Sora when he first got him for his 12th birthday, showing him how to prepare the lizard’s food and the like. Akio basically got whatever games and other material possessions he wanted, because his parents believed that was much healthier than him going around trying to convince people spirits were real.

His parents even took him once to a particular temple once, and he learned that it once belonged to their family, though someone else obtained it some decades ago. That visit started Akio’s photo album dedicated solely to temples and shrines, though his attempts to capture a spirit on film have been in vain. He does still secretly keep a sketch-book for depicting the occasional spirit he sees, but he has also drawn and painted several that he only found about on the internet. His efforts to adapt to society’s expectation has gained him the select few friends in school, though he’s still more of a quiet and solitary boy.

[b]Supernatural History:[/b] He was very, very young, somewhere at the start of elementary school perhaps, and he had wandered into a forest, getting a bit lost as he curiously went from tree to tree to explore. On the way, he met a very pretty lady standing by a tree and he wanted to ask her the way out. He was almost dazzled by how [i]beautiful[/i] she was, but thankfully managed to catch the creepy factor to the scene in time. An incredibly tiny arm, red as if from blood, slowly began descending from the tree and made grabbing motions at him. The lady tried to distract him, but Akio wrenched his gaze away, turned in the other direction and ran. He ran, and ran, eventually making it out of the forest and home. He still [i]remembers[/i] that one tree and had avoided that one forest [i]for years[/i], only a year or so ago managing to overcome his fear enough to give it another visit. Even though he had been young and terrified back then, he had indeed drawn about the event. Naturally, his parents weren’t overjoyed when he showed them the picture and half in excitement half in fear tried telling them all about the pretty lady who almost got him murdered. This was one of the major events that made him somewhat more cautious about what to tell whom.
