Appearance:

Akumi Is an attractive Predator resembling a flower that devours what daftly draws near in nature. Cunning as well as intelligent. Most who meet her will take notice quickly as she does not take a frontal approach to how one fights; Suggesting a willingness to work outside the box to achieve her goals. Akumi's black hair and fair skin is evident of her oriental descent. Even her eyes were once brown to compliment her heritage until Augmented within the Spartan program during the start of her teenage years. The change did not happen as expected. Instead of building her bulk muscle development formed tiny fibers that acted as flexible fixtures to strain her mobility beyond a normal person. Akin to micro fibers meant for bone augmentation it seemingly 'bonded' with her muscle lining and tendons. Though her muscles did take on a small 117% increase it was realized that the effected regions doubled projected endurance and speed performances; more so resulting in a 278% increase. Her rapid eye movements, hand eye coordination, and reaction time increased by a large margin of 1287%. An anomaly by all accounts being that most subject were 300% below that statistic. Outlining her special change was her eyes which mutated in color to a silvery blue hue signature of most Spartans. Fast and agile, Akumi became a new Spartan completely. Her size only added to this outcome now only standing at 5'9 inches. The smallest Spartan to date. All the cadre that trained her knew she was no shock trooper but something more, something different.

What is your character’s personality?:

  • Akumi is a quiet Spartan when around other UNSC personnel. Both Cold and calculating in thought viewing herself as a Weapon then a person. However with the unexpected attraction she has felt for one of her own fellow HeadHunters Akumi finds at times it hard to pick what it is exactly she really is. (If the Love she feels makes her truly a human after all.) This mental hole has attributed a fracture in her psyche making her insecure emotionally at times and will also adopt violent aggression to anyone that may threaten her emotional bonds. Her hobbies revolve around music and art, notably renaissance, which makes her a (oddly) cultured Spartan; speaking strongly of her intelligence. This, in part, gives light to her "graceful" manor even in battle.
  • Tending to be the silent type reflects herself in battle. For Akumi would rather slip up behind the enemy and take them out quickly and quietly then sound the alarm with weapons fire. Like her counterpart Victoria.

    What is your character's history?:

  • Born to a Lunar Colony Akumi's home was utterly destroyed when the covenant invaded the Eridanus system in 2530. Being the daughter of an Officer to the local Fleet COM defense force Akumi was able to secure passage out of the system when the warning alerts began to sound out to the UNSC in system. However her remaining family members were never found after the Lunar City was glassed during the initialof the invasion. Her ties to a UNSC Military Family, orphaned at that, ultimately gained her the 'opportunity' to become one of the First to enter the SPARTAN-III program at Camp Currahee on Onyx designated as Alpha Company.


ReBirth

"I am going to give you a chance to learn how to fight, a chance to become the best soldiers the UNSC has ever produced, a chance to destroy the Covenant. I am giving you a chance to be like me: a Spartan."
The LT's words echoed in Akumi's mind....Over and Over. But nothing could comfort her in this moment now. High above the clouds at 7,000 feet was only her and the 'New' recruits that might one day become Spartans. A word mentioned but never understood. Unlike many here she had no choice in her coming to this planet. Though to leave would mean she equally had no where to go....The military was all she knew no. A man in uniform yelled across the Pelican words she could not understand. Blurred by the sound of the engines. The heavy pack on her back almost made her knees buckle as all of the children and herself stood at the increased yelling coming from all around them.

"God what Have I done....Save me please..." She cried to herself buried in the noise of the chaos. Others weeped as she while some were only quiet. Looking around confused. Only the very few looked ready for whatever it was the elder men had in store. The man to the rear of the pelican gave a hand signal she did not understand until the doors opened. The air rushed in and out and Akumi could see the ground below. Far far away and tiny. Fear consumed her. "God please...send me an Angel. Send me some one to protect me!" The blonde angels she saw in Chaplin books appeared in her head. No such real comfort would come. A bright green light turned on and soon those unlucky first to jump were out of the rear of the pelican. Static lines pulling out their parachutists as they fell to the world below. Many had now where to go and could only scream as they made the jump. Many just as she. Her turn closed in. Coming to the ramp she saw the night sky calling her to it. Away from the light. Away from what she knew....This was to be her new life? No blonde, blue eyed angel to repel her fears? Tears rolled down her face coming to terms quickly. A boy behind her yelled for her to hurry. He was much older then her and shoved her where she fell to her knees. Blood poured from her skinned knees as she rose. Turning to face him. Struggling to rise under the weight of the pack. As she stood her fist balled and came to his face hard. She felt extream pain in her hand and yet satisfaction. A knee fallowed into the boy's groin before she turned. The flight chief did nothing but fear of his lash forced her into the night. It was a sweet release to her and when the fear was quelled she welcomed the darkness. As the shout released from the pull of her static line it jerked her hard with the resistance it made to her fall. Akumi coughed and almost threw up. With little to eat the last week it was hard to do so. God sent no Angel. No deity her family, her councilors, her care takers followed did anything for her this night. It was she who saved herself with the leap of faith.

The ground closed and her knees buckled unable to stand the weight of herself. The heavy pack before drained her. She rolled and some how this softened the blow. Alone their in that field she curled her knees in close. The tears stopped..."I am....My own..." She said...Looking up she could see lights from a hog coming her way. She waited for them under the new life she had decided to fallow with that act. The single act to jump birthed her something new....Something powerful. A girl with no fear. Slowly she rose looking to the men approaching her. A scowl on her face. Ready to dive into this new life unlike before.


During her training the overseeing officers began to note her unique ability for close quarters combat which placed her above all her piers. Closing distance with her foes without fear she even elected to take on much bigger trainees. That combined with her incredible speed, hand to eye coordination, size, and flexibility made her body the ultimate weapon for this task alone. Later during Augmentation it became increasingly clear she was not a Spartan built for open conflict. ONI, seeing this as a means to another end, decided it best to pull her from Alpha Company and train her more in espionage, infiltration, and further more highlighting in depth hand-to-hand training focus. This oddity in the Spartan program would also pave way more so for the HeadHunter initiative. The Missions that followed became CLASSIFIED reports, or even myths, whispered within the main stream forces. Stories of ghosts on the outer rim in small teams killing armies or even high trier targets. It seemed fictional to most brass who even heard of the program.

The reality of the HeadHunters was that only Spartan-III's with a select skill set were required before even being viewed for entry. Once the HeadHunter 'to be' was selected for the position she/he under went an in depth infiltration training regiment before evaluated for pairing. For HeadHunter teams only operated in teams of two. A process that broke down every aspect of the Spartan's psyche to be matched, percent wise, to another HeadHunter in order to maximize effectiveness working together as a team. The missions these teams were sent on often lead in the Spartan's death however. Which added to their existence as nothing more then myth. However ONI knew full well the HeadHunters were in the Galaxy doing what armies could not. Armed with only themselves, the top of the line gear they carried, and their unique skill set. Ultimately setting them apart from any other Spartan counterpart.

After the death of her partner on a unknown Moon deep in Covenant Space Akumi was transferred to Earth after the Fall of Reach as a UNSC effort to collect high value assets for the battle to come. It was here she was paired with another HeadHunter which eventually lead to a physical relationship shaking the core of her beliefs. Now she felt that death was something to avoid in order to live with her new found bond, her family. Some time later an Op. that went south caught Akumi and Victoria-B154 in its wake. Victoria would ultimately be set on the sidelines and replaced by another HeadHunter named Seth-B315. These events triggered a emotional break down in Akumi which Seth would further add too by applying threats to "remove" Victoria from Akumi forever. Not at all knowing that Victoria and Akumi had been in a relationship. Mentally stired, and faced with an ultimatum, Akumi lost the ability to speak to others communicating only with HUD to HUD text or green to red status updates. The only one Akumi would speak to at length was Victoria there after for the affection they cultivated as more then simply a pair...

Still there was more to come for Akumi and her young Headhunter counterpart; Seth. When the nuclear device detonated on a joint operation the blast wave nearly killed her and Seth who detoured to save a wounded Akumi. The moment Seth risked his life Akumi realized she misunderstood his motives before when he threatened Victoria. Both survived the blast and Once healed up their relationship only got better from there.

Once the pair returned to Victoria she and Nick, another former Headhunter paired with Victoria, were badly wounded from the recent battle for earth. Combat operations continued across the Planet directing the four Spartan's to mission after Mission. Only upon the climax of New Mombasa some miles away from their main effort in Australia. Akumi was gravely wounded when confronted by three hunters. Killing one only ignited a berserking rage in the remaining three. Victoria and a hand full of UNSC ODSTs managed to fight off the beasts before a killing blow could end Akumi's life. The Headhunter was evacuated to an urgent care facility under ONI guard. Mean while the team of Headhunters ventured into the unknown portal after the UNSC Frigate 'Forward unto Dawn'. The monsters that chased them there came to force retreat in the Spartan's and their crew. Opting to leave the Flood as the Master Chief ordered all remaining forces pull out.

Akumi and Victoria were reunited after those events and remain committed to the UNSC as a Covert Operations Spartan Fire Team designated 'Mobius' aboard the UNSC Infinity.

Wow she's fuckin' tiny xD

Anyway, getting onto the review, class selection and strengths is appropriate, all good there. Didn't see any details that struck me as off with the backstory to Akumi's character, it was actually quite nice to read. I'm a sucker for tragic characters man so you've got me with Akumi, just this one little detail though before I slap my +1 vote on it.

Okee Dokee, insofar as I know. There are no real percentages given for how much the augmentations increase efficiency when compared to baseline Humans, beyond descriptions of what they do, E.g Increased Muscle Mass & Density, but one detail here that seriously needs to be tweaked is the reaction time decrease. Out of Armor, all Spartans reaction times are decreased by 300%, while Akumi might be quicker than everything else, it's not going to be twice, three times or even four times everyone else, that's a little much Dox. You change that to some descriptor like "Considered to have sharp reflexes even among her Spartan peers." We'll be good to go mate.
