Phyiscal Description:
On the spectrum of things, Akumu is attractive, but in a dark sort of way. His eyes are almond shaped and narrow, the irises are black - like all Izumi's should be - and framed in, well, dark eyelashes which are just a bit more full than a normal male's, but it just adds to his mysterious beauty. His eyes are set beneath two narrow, pointed eyebrows and sit upon accentuated cheek bones. His face is narrow and lacks fat and has an extremely refined look to it. Emotional displays range from a crooked grin (when pleased, or amused) to an absolutely horrifying look that could freeze the blood in your veins. But, often more times than not, the look that sits upon Akumu's face is one of dignified confidence.

His body, tall and slender, is beautifully sculpted. He is strong, agile, the perfect fighter one could say. He is well muscled, but not overly so. There's the perfect amount to allow him both strength, speed, agility, and flexibility. Akumu's movements are often elegant, fluid, and full of confidence. He believes that a ruler should be strong and beautiful, and considers himself as such.

The Izumi's hair is a deep black and soft to the touch. He keeps it cut, but nothing too short. Akumu enjoys a longer, jagged hairstyle. His bangs cover most of his forehead and hang in pointed strands before his dark eyes. The back of his hair stops near the base of his neck in a sort of pointed v. Akumu has no hair on his chest or back, nor does he allow himself to grow any kind of facial hair - it's simply unsightly. He does have a small amount of hair beneath his arms, on his arms and legs, and about his groin; all of which he keeps well trimmed. He is, afterall, a man of appearance.



Personality:
When around him, you can feel his presence - it's simply overwhelming. Akumu is a strong man, with a sharp mind, and a dark heart. He's not what you would call rotten, just mean-spirited - he's a big bully with a lot of power. What king isn't? Most of the time Akumu speaks with a civil tongue, and never degrades himself by slandering anyone. He speaks with a lot of wit, and if he decides to insult a foe, he does so with taste. You'll never find him spitting filth at someone the way a pimp would curse out his whore.

On the downside, Akumu is greedy. He claims that this trait came from his human days, and it just stuck... never to go away. But, he indulges the trait none-the-less. Akumu surrounds himself with expensive objects, high-class people, and many, many rare and beautiful artifacts. He loves the idea of wealthy living, and will never really be able to live any other way.

Dominant is the perfect word for this little boy. His ego expands far and wide, and has yet to stop growing. He sees himself as the definition of power and will accept nothing more than complete and total submission from his followers. If anyone at all shows him slight discourtesy, or challenges his authority in any way, it's a one way ticked straight to hell, my friend. The only person he'll accept it from, really, is Kei... but he can only push so far...



History:


demon
As a child you could say I was normal. Like any Izumi I had a dark twinge to my persona, but unlike many, I found I had a knack for learning. I was intelligent, scarily so, and that's how it all began. When I started my training many noticed that I was progressing quickly - and soon I was stronger than almost any Izumi in my age group. My strength continued increased, as well as my pride and confidence in myself. Soon there was no one left for me to fight - no one could entertain that part of me which yearned for battle, so I became bored... and that's when I got this wonderful idea. Yin, she was strong, but was she stronger? I had to find out. So, like a fool I challenged her for her position as leader because, earlier, I had come to the conclusion that I was much better suited to lead the clan. Unfortunately, after a long fight, I was defeated. Furious, the Izumi leader banished me from the clan and stripped me of my precious demon blood. I was a pathetic mortal then... but when that happened, I lost that darkness that plagued my soul. I was brilliant, but no longer conniving. And so my life as a human began...


human
I was human now, and very vulnerable, but part of me was thankful that Yin had only stripped me of my Izumi blood. I was lucky she hadn't killed me. This is where the second stage of my life began... Aurelia. The beautiful Aurelia. We married. I was twenty and she was nineteen. The years that we spent together were great. One year after our marriage Aurelia and myself produced a child, a little girl by the name of Good. She was such a sweet and innocent thing... Oh, how the world will be so unkind to such an innocent soul.

I was twenty-three when I regained my Izumi blood, unbeknown to Yin - ha! I laugh at her ignorance - through a method that will go to the grave with me. My dark nature returned, though, and that this twisted mind of mine had other plans that to remain with a human. So, I burned Tsukiyomi's castle - what a glorious knight that had been. I still remember the heat on my face, and that look in my daughters eyes when she had seen me... and I left.

And so my kingdom arose from the ashes. It was plagued with criminals, corruption, and greed. My kingdom expanded rapidly - to the Tsukiyomians dismay - and gained strength faster than anyone could ever believe. Today I live within the walls of the castle, my upper-class civilians housing themselves with me. I don't care much for them, but their petty lives provide so much amusement. None of my followers know of my Izumi heritage, though, and I fear a revolution if that information is made public. Now, I do have a right-hand-man, someone I am very happy to have. Kei Koruno is a very special pupil of mine - his gift, I dare say, is perfect for the plot I have in mind. Soon Tsukiyomi will be mine.
