Personality
Positive:
[/b]
* Philosophical- He's spent a lot of time alone. And he has used that time to think about things like life, right from wrong and all around controversial things. bringing to think more critically.
* Down to earth- Aku enjoys seeing the sights. from stopping dead in his tracks to see and remember a beautiful sights, or staying up all night to watch the stars.
* Honor bound watching the little guy get pushed around is the easiest way to set him off. Aku lives by a strong moral code that he refuses to stray from. but although he is good. he is a chaotic good none the less
[/ul]
Negative:
* Self loathing- He will never forgive himself. killing the only woman who ever loved him.
* Holds grudges- Forgiveness is not at all his strong suite. depending on the caliber of you're offence. believing that some one is truly sorry is not a concept Aku is willing to grasp.
* Suffers from sleep depravation- a down side to his power. is the fact that his body is like a charger most often his body just sucks up more power rather than shutting down to recharge the normal way. but even still this can leave Aku restless.
* haunting memories-
* Sharing his feelings- Aku would much rather show a smile than a frown. after all, all people are temporary in his life. why waste time sharing feelings. why waste time letting them in. [/ul]
Likes:
* Fighting- being hot blooded he finds the best way to build relations ships, settle scores and pass time. is to slug it out man to man.
* Fixing and crafting things- since he was young he's always loves taking things apart and challenging himself to put them back together. knowing how thins work gives him a feeling of worth.
* Training Himself- learning how to get better at his powers, physical combat and even meditation.
* Lightning and thunder storms- as you could guess he feels more powerful its a time where the sky is literally his power sours. But it also serves as a calming time to bring him a clear mind.
*Energy drinks[/ul]
* Listening to music - you can always catch something blasting from his head phones, unless his Mp3 is off in to which he'll just sing the lyrics.

History:
What's the first thing you remember? Aku's first memory was one that would haunt his dreams.. When ever he got a chance to sleep of course. Growing up in a world where picking up cars, moving things with brain power or in his case, being what is basically a human battery. People tend to not understand, even hate the select few people with these abilities. Born into a struggling family of a father( Kessler ) who worked as a store clerk and a stay at home mother ( Rose ) who was disable from a stroke years ago, Aku was the little light of her life, her reason to keep going in the day to day struggle. But as for his father, he was very abusive and truly manipulative. Often he would steal her disability checks to go blow it all at the bar, valuable money that truly could have gone towards food and bills or better yet her physical therapy so she could get back to her real bread winning job. But Aku's father thrived in people being at his mercy, anything to feel like a god. On a rather slow day at work he came home to find Aku sucking power directly from the TV. Maybe your parent talked to you about your abilities but his father saw this as a big pay day. Obviously Rose was the goose to lay the golden egg, so he got it in his head that he would sell this little burden and make more. And why not start now, After all Rose could only say no she couldn't truly put up a fight not sexually not to stop him from making a run for the door with the little pay day. He tried to set his devious plan into motion grabbing Rose and throwing her down to the bed. "I'm gonna make a gold mind outta you." Trying to commit this unspeakable act and with Aku in plain sight. And that was his mistake. Thinking a five year old would just sit back and not come to aid his mothers screams and pleads. So he ran over with the intent on pulling him away but in turn through all the pandemonium it was too much emotion and he was in position of a power that thrives on emotion. When he made contact he sent feed back from that energy he consumed earlier. A great gesture, a bold move for such a young child, but Kessler had Rose pinned to the bed. And that cause them both to get fried on the insides. And Aku watched it all. Killing his mother and demon of a father... Yea that was his first memory, his only nightmare.
Upon his parents death Aku was taken to an orphanage. And for a short time all was well. The care taker was a nice woman. But her kindness reminded him the only other woman he had known. And knowing only that both his parents died she tried her best to make him feel at home. For a short while a things where okay, not great but as good as it was going to get. Things got hard after a group of newer children came rolling in. They terrorized other children. And the peace seeking Aku never fought back when they bullied him. Surely this must of been his punishment for killing his mother and father. But not everyone saw it that way, Rex a fellow orphan stood up for him when the biggest of the kids decided to use Aku as a punching bag. When Aku set eyes on his savior he felt a since of safety, and a possible friendship. Aku was sure that all the other children hated him seeing as how no one ever wanted to be bothered with him for keeping children up at night when he had night terrors. It truly wasn't his fault he wished he could stop it, if he could build some sort of wall to hide it behind he would but he wasn't strong enough to hide it. Something he would quickly change. Over the years he was able to gain friends through Rex people he would grow to fight along side and make trouble with, Friends he would come too loose in the blink of an eye..
Years passed and for a while it was great. Aku built relationships. But also still dealt with what was his first memory. To avoid nightmares he mainly turned to staying up all night and praying for those terms of sleep where you don't remember dreaming at all. As for his abilities. They went dormant after the death of his parents. But re-activated themselves when he was loosening a fight to a rival crew for wandering around in their territory. Strange enough he had the territories all memorized but when he gets to listening to music and zones out he kind wanders aimlessly and doesn't even pay attention to where he is or is going. Knowing what crew he ran with they figured they would send Rex a message by sending Aku's broken body back to him. Honestly at this point Aku didn't really think that would matter anyway. But that didn't stop them from trying it out. By now Aku had fought enough to hold his own in a fight against multiple targets but he was no one man army. After about 30 min of fighting he grew tired and sluggish. One of the kids capitalized on this by taking a pipe to the back of Aku's leg. Dropping him to the floor. Looking up at their leader, with a bloodshot eye and a swollen shut one he they all stood around him like a pack of wild dogs staying at bay only because the alpha was around. Max Kimble. Although that wasn't his gangster name he demanded everyone just call him Madd Max or else he would have his gang come beat you too near death.
With his bad eye he gazed into Max's eyes and he could see it. That same look his father had in his eyes. When Max went to swing his pipe Aku reached out and grabbed it. Normally catching a metal rod would hurt like hell but at this point he was far more beast than man. The moment hit landed in he hand he latched on and sent 20,000 volts through the pipe about as powerful as a weak teaser not to shabby for someone who just re-awoke their ability. Max went to the floor shaking and jolting. As his men stood around they looked upon Aku staggering to his feet with a tight grip on his new weapon. He sent currents of electricity through the pipe. Scaring the weaker members. "He's one of those freaks." Max said from the ground. "EVERYONE GET OUT OF HERE. You got saved by that FREAK when we where younger, you hung around that FREAK growing up and now you're one." Max spit at Aku but in his simply stepped back.
"Yea. I guess your right" Aku said. He saved me that day, From you, now I can save myself." he raised the pipe in the air holding it motioning to stab it down. Max looked away holding his hand in front of his head. But Aku simply stabbed it into the ground. And walked away. "I have things to do more important than dirtying my hands with your Filthy blood." After all he was right. He had a new ability. He had remembered what Rex did when he first got his ability. Sending Max into a wall, and now he could of fried Max to a crisp in front of all those other kids. He needed to learn control. As he walked away he could still hear the pipe resonating with electricity.
From that point on he started to calm himself. During the day if Rex or Vee-Vee didn't have a job for him which no one really had a use for him, he went off to be alone using his abilities in secret hoping to learn his boundaries, and branch out. He would also wandered into other rival gang territory to practice his combat skill. Just as he thought he had it down he went to be around his friends more but dark days where to come. This new kid Jason got in good with Rex earning trust and friend ship that didn't even belong to him, only to double cross the whole gang. But Aku was able to run, Until recently when he got captured after trying to save a child from getting hit by a bus.. Yea. You'd think people would be grateful. On the bright side he did learned a new ability. Being able to shield the child and himself with what looked like a giant rib cage. This new ability was short lived due to him passing out from the impact of the bus and the feeling of being drained. When we came to, men in black combat attire where dragging Him into a Cargo container.
"Its gonna be about 12 hours. Until we get to the dock. And 15 until we get to Ashford. Now like it or not you wont be able to leave here till we get there so. Pee in a corner or hold it. And don't try escaping. We lined this all with rubber." The man in Black said. "don't worry. I've no where to go. No where to run too. Where ever we go will be better than where I've been, Now close the door and go away." Aku walked to the far end if the container, sat with his back to the wall, closed his eyes and sang old songs to himself. Hoping to soak in what last of the sunlight for the next 27 hours. But of course, nothing ever goes as planed.

RP Experience: how long have you been roleplaying? This would be my first RP
How did you find us?: A friend referred me
RP Sample: what started as a smooth ride soon got ruff. From the sound of things a serious storm was brewing Aku knew this because whenever he was low on power everything went black and white and it was like he could see and feel the nearest power source. He could see it, the lightning striking, and feet drained, h pit in his chest formed whenever the lightning would strike and he failed to reach out and grab it. It was like hanging food in front of someone who hasn't eaten in a week. It only grew worse, when lightning struck the ship head on tossing the container in the ocean. It was one thing to not be able to see but now Aku was no better than lost cargo helplessly tossed around in raging waters, it all came to and end when a wave spun the container making him slam his head knocking him out for who knows how long. "wake up little sparrow" a soft feminine voice woke Aku from his incapacitation.
"Oh baby boy that's going to be such a awful knot you have there" she said
"M..Mom" Aku said struggling to sit up. It was hard too function with a mind splitting headache.
"you're... Alive? no that's not possible I fried dad and I made toast out of you." His eyes started to water up but he pushed it down there was no need for tears. "You cant be real. I'm dreaming or dead, I slammed my head and now I stuck in some sort of purgatory. I knew I would be punished for what happened. " He said looking his mother in the eye. knowing he was unconvinced she sat directly in front of him and slapped him across the face. And some how the pain was there, he could even feel his face turning red. "You have A lot to learn "
"Don't call me that.. mom, that boy died with you." a tear rolled down his cheek along with him hanging his head in shame. Just then the container came to a smashing stop, "Rose stood up in silence shakeing her head and turning towards the doors of the container. She sighed and said "There's no need to explain right now. you have a big day ahead of you, a big fight to contribute too." She began to walk forward as the doors opened, the bright light blinded Aku and upon his eyes adjusting He was greeted by an old friend.
