Will the RP be consistently grim? Or will the grimness be changeable by player actions?

Despite its massive flaws, my RP, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, is still one of the longest ongoing RPs in RPGuild - It turns 4 years old in July and the current thread itself is more than a year old.

Name: Akira Ayumu
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Wutai)/Cetra Hybrid
Occupation: Ninja Apprentice/Healer
Appearance:
Personality: Akira is driven by the desire to learn more about himself, both as a citizen of Wutai and the inheritor of the Cetra species’ sacred mission. To honor the latter, he tries to be kind and forgiving, even to those who had killed his country folk and ravaged his land, but even at his age, the boy knows that kindness and compassion aren’t enough. Strength is needed to defend kindness and compassion, and force is sometimes needed to break the cycles of hatred that have engulfed the planet since time immemorial. Though young, Akira wishes to be known as someone who soldiers on despite the pain he has suffered, but knows full well that he’d wind up merely ‘posturing’ about things he does not really know anything about. After all, no one is truly free from anger and hate, and one should not regard oneself as such. Or at least, that’s his perspective. He also dislikes his own weakness and inadequacies, and grudgingly admits that he needs help in compensating for them...
History: Akira’s mother, Sakura, was a Ninja of Wutai who had found one of the few remaining Cetra in her travels. This Cetra, Kirin Ayumu, was a local healer whose handsome looks and kind disposition stole Sakura’s heart, and the two fell in love and married. Thus, Akira knew happiness in his first few years, until the War with Shinra reached their region of the Western Continent - And everything changed.
His mother was called away to defend Fort Tamblin, the greatest fortress of the Wutai Tribe, against Shinra’s forces of SOLDIERs. She survived. However, while she was away, their village was attacked by Shinra’s soldiers who were seeking his father for some nefarious reason, and Kirin hid his son and many other citizens in a nearby cave while he sought to ‘negotiate’ with the Shinra forces. He was taken prisoner by them and whisked off to an unknown fate soon after.
When Akira’s mother returned after surviving Fort Tamblin’s fall to Shinra’s SOLDIERs, she told the boy of his Cetra heritage and how Shinra must have kidnapped his father for experiments. As there was now peace between Wutai and Shinra, there was no hope of rescuing Kirin with military force… But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t try. And so Sakura Ayumu vowed to train Akira in the ways of the Ninja before she left, and the next seven years were spent teaching the young man in the ways of Ninjustu, where the latter discovered a talent with the Naginata.
Then on his fourteenth birthday, she and him started their trip to the Eastern Continent, disguising themselves as ‘travelling actors’ heading for Midgar. This allowed them to hide their weapons in plain sight as ‘props’. However, even with this, Sakura Ayumu found getting through security checks harder and harder as they went east, especially with Akira being too kind and honest for the subterfuge required to smooth-talk their way out of security checks and local suspicious people. This culminated with her leaving Akira behind on Fort Condor, a known Anti-Shinra hotspot, while she went on ahead towards Midgar.
During that time, Akira proved his worth as a Healer-for-Hire, helping the mercenaries who were protecting the Condors nesting on top of the Reactor in repelling Shinra forces. He also acquired some Materia from these battles, which fascinated him as Materia were forbidden for Wutai citizens as part of the Peace Treaty with Shinra. Then came the second trauma of his life - Word arrived from Fort Condor’s contacts in Midgar that Akira’s mother had been killed trying to infiltrate Shinra HQ.
And with grief, loss, and tears, Akira’s journey begins...
Weapon:
Sekai no Hikari (Light of the World) - A Naginata made from wood sacred to the Ancients/Cetra, and is thus unusually light and tough in defiance of the laws of physics. Its consecrated blade inflicts extra damage to ghosts and the dead, and the Kanji inscribed on the shaft is rumored to increase one’s healing abilities...
Skills:
Flurry - A series of swift strikes and cuts which can hit multiple times, but whose damage is reduced as a result.
Disarm - For nonlethal takedowns, Akira can knock a weapon-holding opponent’s weapon out of their hands with a swing of his Naginata’s shaft.
Power Swing - Akira swings with all of his strength in a single, mighty attack.
Equipment:
- 1x X-Potion
- 4x Potion
- 3x Antidote
Amulet - A tragic Keepsake from Akira's mother, and his last remaining memento of her.
Sprint Shoes - Increases Speed
Bronze Bangle - Increases Defense slightly.
Stopwatch (Custom Accessory) - Renders Akira immune to Slow or Stop Spells.
Cheap Smartphone - A secondhand smartphone paid for at a high cost by Akira's mother so he can talk with people all over the globe. Has several Virtual Private Networks/VPNs.

William Ascot
When preparations for the competition began and there was literally no evidence of cheating from either side, William was pleasantly surprised - That meant more time to copy enchantments and forge items. Already, his ‘Soul Forge’ spell was activated and he was using his other powers to conjure up metal and additional pieces of wood.and bone for his next sword - Revelation. Revelation will then be empowered by the next series of spells he saw and copied with his Enchantment-Copying Eyes, and if those spells do not fit the name ‘Revelation’, he’d just name his sword something else.
A glance at Helena and William felt a surge of admiration - It seemed she was the reason there was no cheating, at least for now. Good. Now to wait for everyone else to draw Magical Artifacts - He was already discreetly copying the Darvon Sisters' Magitech and the powers those manifested. Hopefully, they didn't notice, but he can always pay them back anyway.
William briefly paused as his thoughts were diverted to another direction… He needed a source of information for his goals - Without information, his dreams of independent action would be stillborn. Thankfully, Jacob was not the only one with connections, even though William will admit that he was worse at playing the game of espionage. Scratch that, he was a newbie.
I hope you’re doing Okay, Jacob, were his thoughts as he looked to see if his brother was a spectator...
