akutagawa

Appearance Hair: Black, messy, slightly long, framing his pale face. Eyes: Piercing silver-grey, often shown with dark circles underneath (he rarely rests). Clothing: Wears a long, tattered black coat with an old-fashioned high-collared shirt underneath. The coat’s ragged edges give him a ghostly, menacing look. Build: Lean, sickly thin; he coughs frequently (due to tuberculosis-like illness). Aura: Intimidating, gothic, and dangerous—like death itself walking among people. --- 🧠 Personality Cold & Ruthless: Shows little regard for human life, especially when on missions for the Port Mafia. Prideful: He despises being looked down on or considered weak, especially in comparison to others. Inferiority Complex: Holds deep resentment toward Dazai Osamu, his former mentor, who abandoned him. Akutagawa craves acknowledgment from Dazai and feels overshadowed by Atsushi Nakajima. Vengeful: He is driven by grudges, particularly against Atsushi, whom Dazai seems to favor. Loyal (in his own way): Despite his ruthlessness, he is loyal to the Port Mafia and especially to his boss, Ougai Mori. Hidden Softness: Cares deeply (though quietly) for his sister, Gin Akutagawa. --- ⚔ Ability: Rashōmon (羅生門) Named after the short story "Rashomon" by the real-life author Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. Nature: A black, cloth-like manifestation of darkness that sprouts from his clothing. Uses: Can slice through steel, stone, and almost anything. Can extend and manipulate at will (defense, offense, or movement). Can change forms (blades, beasts, shields, etc.). Limitations: Requires a lot of stamina and puts strain on his frail body. Upgrade (after Atsushi partnership): Learns to coat Atsushi’s tiger form with Rashōmon for devastating combos.
