Safety was not much of a concern to Akae when venting out her frustrations through fighting. She does all she can to power through injuries, even if it means she comes out of the fight worse for wear.

Akae is not good with people, and she prefers to be the first to get her hands dirty before anyone else has the chance. Being the underdog of most of her fights has taught Akae that wit is key to gaining the upper–hand.

Abilities


"Haishou" (敗招) Warhammer (+200)
Damage Rank 4 (+400)
–––Removable (-200)
–––Weakness: Being a Pure Soul¹ (-100)

A warhammer hidden deep within the Kyoushuku Temple. It is said to have been wielded by the Shinigami warrior Beregendo (ベレゲンド).

Its construction seems to be primarily sunuke wood for both the head and the base of the warhammer, giving it a deep dark brown color. There are studded rings around the ends of the shaft, and cracks are very prominent all over. Within these cracks, there seems to be a deep orange glow. There does not seem to be any obvious mechanism keeping the picks on the shaft. Due to this, it is possible for the picks of the warhammer to be used as tonfa. Following this example, the shaft of the warhammer can also be used as a thick jo staff. Additional damage is provided by any surrounding aragami. When in the hands of a pure soul, it is just a big stick (i.e. Damage 0).


Haishou Jo Staff (+100)
Damage Rank 2 (+200)
–––Removable (-100)
–––Weakness: Being a Pure Soul (-50)

The shaft of the Haishou warhammer, having had its head detached. Additional damage is provided by any surrounding aragami. When in the hands of a pure soul, the aragami are dispilled and the jo staff is just a big stick (i.e. Damage 0).


Haishou Tonfa (+100)
Damage Rank 2 (+200)
–––Removable (-100)
–––Weakness: Being a Pure Soul (-50)

The head of the Haishou warhammer, having been detached from the shaft. Comes in a pair. Additional damage is provided by any surrounding aragami. When in the hands of a pure soul, the aragami are dispelled and tonfa are just small sticks (i.e. Damage 0).


Haishou Armor (+375)
Protection Rank 3 (+300)
–––Ongoing (+300)
–––Removable (-150)
–––Weakness: Being a Pure Soul (-75)

The Haishou weapons have a tendency to attract drifting spirits that hold a penchant for ill will. They grasp at the objects in their invisible forms, as well as the user of the weapon. Their hands are fully capable of deflecting any incoming impact, serving to be just as effective as plate armor. They also enhance the strength of the wooden weapons, causing them to inflict as much damage as their metal counterparts. It is said that the more one grows familiar with Haishou, the more its potent it becomes… As long as the wielder holds on to Haishou, the protection provided by the aragami is ongoing. If a pure soul were to wield Haishou, the protection from the aragami are not provided, leaving the supposed user to be as protected as their current attire allows.

Assorted Martial Arts Techniques: Resilient (+700)
Agility Rank 1 (+200)
Damage Rank 1 (+100)
Endurance Rank 2 (+200)
Move Object Rank 1 (+100)
–––Ongoing (+100)

Akae's primary outlet of frustration comes from the organized fight club nearby the Kyoushuku Temple. She had initially taken to a mentorship under one of the members. She picked up some of the basics of jujutsu, but she found that none of them were to her satisfaction in the heat of the fight. Since then, she started to apply her own techniques, often to weak results. This straying from the jujutsu teachings caused a falling out between Akae and her temporary mentor. Although Akae loses a majority of her fights, many note that she possesses a brilliant resilience during fights, and she is able to employ that resilience when perfecting her own techniques. They also note, however, that the young fighter still has a long way to go. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this same resilience also makes Akae excellent for heavy labor for prolonged periods of time.

Master Skills
  • Sports (Martial Arts) Rank 2 (+100)

1 "Shintō does not teach that anything is a sin per se. Rather certain deeds create a kind of ritual impurity that one should want to be cleansed merely for one’s own peace of mind and good fortune, and not because impurity is wrong in and of itself." Impurity can also be caused unfortunate incidents. https://jref.com/articles/shinto.27/
2 "Failure to show proper respect is a sign of pride and lack of concern for others. Such an attitude is looked down upon because it is believed to create problems for all. Those who fail to take into account the feelings of other people and kami will only attract ruin for themselves. The worst expression of such an attitude is the taking of another’s life for personal advances and enjoyments. Those killed without being shown gratitude for their sacrifice will hold 'urami', lit. a grudge and become 'aragami', a powerful and evil kami that seeks revenge." https://jref.com/articles/shinto.27/
