REIRA AKABA | WENDIGO
CURRENT INFORMATION | TRANSFORMATION COMPLETE
● Death — Wendigo are undead, and Reira is no different. The first time he died (which counted for his change total), he simply experienced slow heart failure, passing in his 'sleep' beneath a tree. The second however (which is counted), he was swallowed whole by Hiro while the boy was a faerie--as a result, he soon became crushed under his own unintentional magic, and revived hours later in the fog as a Wendigo again.

● Elongated Fangs — As a Wendigo, Reira's incisors in particular are long and sharp; while all of his teeth leave a mark, his incisors are so large that his mouth has internally formed itself around them. Each one is over an inch long, and they're perfect for holding prey in place after he catches them.

● Clawed, padded hands — While teeth help, Reira's claws are vital for his skills as a hunter--as well as his desire to play. His hands are padded almost like a bear's, with large, thick claws at the end. These claws do not retract--and in fact the quick within them runs right near to the tip, making it difficult to get them any shorter than they already are. Despite this, Reira seems able to handle delicate actions with his hands very easily.

● Antlers — Where many wendigo have antlers bearing at least three points, if not a full rack, Reira's antlers are those of the Pudu deer; single spire growths that only sit a few inches long, these antlers are good for single strikes to the gut, but not much else! They won't be growing any larger either, nor will they ever gain additional points.

● Deer Ears/facial features — While most of his face remains his own, Reira bears a set of large furry deer ears which swivel toward most sounds that catch his attention. His nose is also padded similarly to a deer's now, but most notable are his tear ducts; pudu scent mark using tears, and Reira's ducts have changed accordingly, creating a very distinctive look to his eyes.

● Fur over Body — Aside from his face, as well as his throat, Reira is almost entirely covered in fur. This fur is largely brown, with an underside of cream, but it carries a 'chinchilla effect'. What this means is that much of the fur seems to gradiate, with the brown in particular showing off this effect. A pattern of cream and silver also runs over his arms and back however, blending with the 'fawn spots' he has all over it. This pattern is more obvious in the winter, when he has more fur over his body.

● Long tail, Thick mane — In addition to the thick fur covering him, Reira's hair has also become fur--silvery, with the same chinchilla effect, but far thicker and longer. This fur creates his mane, and it grows as far down as the middle of his back, between his wings and bone spikes. His tail is also incredibly long; longer than he is tall in fact, though it only exceeds this length by a few inches. The tail is fluffiest at the end, and it moves according to his emotions--but more chiefly, aids in balance while climbing, flying, or even running.

● Bone Spikes — While he formerly had an impressive set of them across his back, Reira's wings have since replaced most of them. Now, aside from the overgrowth of spikes from his spine, he also has rather impressive prongs coming out from his shoulders, near the neck; it is almost as if they are making up for his lack of antler points! Eeriely, it resembles a collar of bones.

● Hooved Feet — In addition to restructuring themselves more like a deer's legs, Reira now has feet replaced by hooves--technically standing on his toes now. It means no shoes, and Reira can't say that he minds!

● Golden Eyes — Reira's very eyes have changed colour, a feature more notable than even the slight widening of his irises. The gold, curiously, is the exact same shade that Shun Kurosaki's own eyes took; a brilliant colour that shines in the dark, creating an eerie effect when light hits at the wrong angle.

● Mountain Rune — Reira bears a rather curious set of runes which are difficult to notice; various locations over his body that would have lined up with medical sensors are marked with a circular patch of colour, with all of them connected by lines. In the darkness, if they have been exposed to enough light, they give off a faint glow--so faint that the human eye cannot detect it.

● Wings — Having enjoyed flight as a fairy, Reira requested wings of Tikbalang; as such, his former 'wing-like' bone spikes have been replaced with broad, enormous wings capable of carrying his weight through all forms. These wings resemble those of the goshawk, and allow for easy maneuvering through the woods that Reira so frequents. However, they are largely silver and blue in colour, even bearing spotting along certain parts of the back to match his fur. Alongside all of this, his mountain rune has spread to his wings; each one bears a large 'Eye' that is only ever clear in night.

● Increased Strength — As a monster, Reira's strength has increased significantly; while he certainly cannot face an adult monster on his own, he could easily battle with the average human, or even as many as four to five depending on their size and weight! At the least, he can lift a car (if he tries at any rate).

● Heightened Senses — Reira's senses have been improved across the board for the most part thanks to being a wendigo; scent, hearing, and even taste (though the latter just means he prefers meaty dishes). The best of all however are his eyes; sensitive to the slightest movement in the dark, he may not be able to see especially far, but he can certainly see everything around him in clearer detail than most any other.

● Paralyzing Stare — Wendigo have a unique ability, one which Reira has as well. By making eye contact, he uncontrollably instills a great amount of fear in the other until he blinks, locking the victim in place with cold terror.

● Immunity to Cold — Being corpses covered in fur, it isn't surprising that Reira is immune to the cold. While the cold brings no ill effects to him however, he still dislikes it quite a bit ('warm' is nice, 'cold' is 'empty'), which prompts him to seek the warmth out long before the cold.

● Icy Touch — An ability that Reira very rarely exhibits, his Icy Touch manifests largely in his feet and in his bite; aside from causing frostbite in a wound if he holds a bite for too long, ice also comes from beneath his feet if he stands still for a certain period of time. It also trails behind him while he runs, though this ability seems to only trigger while he is running.

● Hunger Cravings — Unlike most monsters, a hunger for human flesh is not the only hunger Reira experiences. While he requires the meat all the same, eating it at least twice a month, he in fact craves food constantly--a craving that can never be sated, in fact. For the most part, he eats other meats when he can, though he keeps loose record of portions and timing so that his starvation does not end up bloating him.

● Sunlight Weakness — While Reira's eyes are highly tuned to the darkness, it brings an incredible drawback with the sun; anything brighter than the light of dawn and dusk could potentially blind him, and strong streetlights are even painful to stare at. To counter this, Reira wears goggles, which allows him to wander about during the morning and afternoon hours; since they cannot prevent the searing pain of High Noon however, he tends to sleep through that period of time, also sleeping through the latest hours of the night. He is thus considered crepuscular.

● Silver & Fire Weakness — Wendigo are weak to silver much like weres are, but without blood to carry toxins along, the burning sensation it brings is far stronger. Prolonged contact causes first a rash, and then a serious rot that cannot be easily healed thanks to being undead! Fire however, is far worse; being too close leaves effects similar to a sunburn, and if Reira were to be set aflame, he could burn to ashes within mere moments!

● Pudu Deer Form — Matching the antlers upon his head, Reira is able to take the form of a tiny Pudu fawn--a creature no larger than a kitten. This deer has been nicknamed the 'Andean Mountain Goat' however; so not only is Reira able to run at remarkable speed like this, but he can climb in places where flying is otherwise impossible, just like when he's in normal form. His clothes are not lost when taking this form either, which makes switching shapes far easier now. While in this form, his eye-spots are still present on the wings, but his rune shifts to instead also show an eye similar to that of 'CC One-Eyed Past Eye' over his thigh.

● Fog Form — In stark contrast to his normal form, Reira's rarely seen Fog Form (as his alliance with the 4th God makes this an optional change) is nigh demonic. His mane thickens to the point where it could rival a lion's, and his tail gains a matching silver tip, with bone spikes even creating a sharp spur within it. The spikes on his back become wild and untamed, and come out from even his wings, which still manage to retain flight capability. The weight however forces him to slouch; so even while he gains a foot in height and an added point to his antlers, he still seems to stand at the same height as before. What stands out most however, is his face and pattern. His face itself extends into a full deer snout, with his teeth becoming too large for his mouth to remain closed. Instead of the playful mosaic he normally carries for patterning, his fur goes black and white over the face and middle, resembling a skeleton--a look that naturally draws the eye to his own in the fog, guaranteeing the paralyzing stare has some effect.

● Fourth-Alterations — As a loyal follower of the Fourth God, Elias attempted to try to remove the multitude of problems with Reira's Fog Form in addition to weakening its influence; he unfortunately had to 'trade off' as a result. While Reira does not take Fog Form as a requirement, he now takes it as he approaches a Berserk Point in his hunger, and the form itself has changed significantly; bearing metal plates and cogs to make his movement easier, as well as a ticking clock over where a once beating heart would have been.

● Cybernetic Appearance — As a symbol of his alliance to the 4th God, Reira's runes now resemble the very cables and sensors they represented; these cables are constantly aglow with a neon effect, though his fur tends to dampen the intensity of them.

● 4th Granted Ability (Minor): Vocal Mimicry — One of the abilities granted to Reira as a follower is the ability to mimic other voices, twisting sounds he has heard into new phrases. The downside is that a static-like effect occasionally comes over the voice, revealing it to be a possible false lure.

● 4th Granted Ability (Standard): Frost-Like — A powerful ability, Reira is able to take the form of an icy wind, and even move about while doing so; however, he cannot take things with him, and worst of all, the combined energy it takes to perform this spell along with the immediate emptying of his stomach leave him on the brink of a Hunger Rage; if he does not eat within 24 hours of using this ability, he will enter a Berserk State. Additionally, he cannot re-use the ability until he has eaten.

● Adept Ability: Zombie Creation — Having ritualistically achieved Adept Status before the God's Reform of their gifts, Reira also has the ability to take a bite out of a freshly killed corpse and command it until the sun rises. This gives a total limit of approximately six hours, and while he does not have to kill the body himself, he has yet to use this ability. When time runs out, he feels impressively hungry.

THE BUILDING
NEIGHBORHOOD & NEIGHBORS
The neighborhood Kurt and Reira live in is considered a relatively 'safe' one as far as humans go; ordinarily this would make things a bit more awkward for monsters, but it seems that Kurt's immediately passive nature may have swayed the neighbors somewhat--useful, when a horseman decides to suddenly make your apartment building symmetrical instead of asymmetrical and blocks off someone's fancy penthouse balcony. It seems said neighbors are alarmingly fine with this however (likely because they have...Another. Balcony.); they in fact have set up a system to string a clothes line between the windows so that both sides can dry their laundry easier.
GENERAL BUILDING DETAILS
Kurt overall leaves a continually pleasant attitude in the building, and has a habit of joining in with the small parties hosted for the residents; whether or not the residents themselves are counting on him to keep other monsters at bay is unknown. As it is, these parties are generally hosted in the building's rec room, which is located on the main floor; other rooms down here are simply other apartment buildings, as well as the landlord's office. Originally the building, as noted above, was asymmetrical, with the landlord's own home forming a sort of penthouse at the top. The building itself is about 7 stories tall (not including the initial, department level), and the numbering system for apartments is...odd.

Rather than the expected system of Floor number-0-apartment number, apartments are instead numbered 'bottom to top' (so the lower apartments begin with 7, the second floor with 6, and so on). Since Kurt's apartment technically wasn't part of the initial plan, it thus takes a number according to the floor beneath it, which had five rather large apartments; '1-6' (or '16' as it is listed on the address boxes). The Landlord's apartment is simply numbered '0'.
TOP FLOOR
Aside from the penthouse, the upper floor originally only had an elevator, as well as a staircase, which was formerly locked for safety reasons. Only the elevator needs a key now, while a gate has been set between the Landlord's apartment and the remaining hall; stairs to the roof are on the other side of this. Compared to Kurt's apartment, which was added to fill the small space this left on the otherwise asymmetrical building, the Landlord's apartment was quite large; double, if not more than double, the size, though considering the fact that he is a married man with children, this is likely understandable. As it is, it is implied that the penthouse has a back entrance, as there are occasions where the gate is left untouched for a number of days. (The gate as well is coated in silver; the landlord may say he trusts his neighbor, but safety comes first!)
THE ROOF
At present, only the landlord has access to the roof. There really isn't anything up there anyway, though. ...Yet...



FLOORPLAN & DETAILS
APARTMENT LAYOUT
Kurt's apartment is a somewhat cramped space, made doubly so by the fact that both he and Reira are wendigo; for Kurt this means twisting his head awkwardly through each door, and fumbling with his legs, while Reira himself simply has less room to really move around (the advantages of being small). In order to have the space for a 'great room' (chairs, coffee table, etc), the kitchen counter has a small set of bar chairs along the side where the two eat. The apartment otherwise has a tiny storage area, small bedrooms for each, a washroom, and then finally a balcony from which they dry their laundry.
WALLS & FLOORING
Since the apartment was 'commissioned' by Tikbalang, the interior design is needless to say...his choice. Curiously enough, the papering in Reira's room is still somewhat fitting, being covered with blue carousel horses. The papering in other rooms run from horse heads to strange spiralling patterns whose details are difficult to make out without staring for hours on end.

Only rooms without wallpaper along them are the back wall of the Kitchen--which is instead tile (some of which are marked with hooves), and the bathroom, which also has tile along the walls near the shower. The flooring in those rooms is tile as well; in the other rooms however, it is hardwood, which makes it a bit tricky to walk around (hooves do not have much traction on such smooth surfaces at all!!)
WINDOWS
An unfortunate and unexpected backfire came with the apartment, one which didn't quite manifest until later, is the windows. The landlord prides his building's ability to give the tenants as much sun as they need, which means as many windows as is structurally sound. As Kurt and Reira are both Wendigo, this is an impressive issue; Tikbalang left them no curtains, which means that unless Kurt fixes this issue quick enough, they'll risk going entirely blind just by opening their eyes during the daylight hours.
UTILITIES OF NOTE
As with most homes in Bavan, electricity runs through the apartment, along with plumbing. Water and power are thus both utilities that Kurt is required to pay to the Landlord, (with rent being another matter altogether). The pipes, thankfully, have no issue--though using the stove gets a bit tricky when it's open flame, and you are fatally weak to fire!!

Currently, while they have electricity, they do not have a television, or nearly as many lamps as noted on the floorplan; they do however, have a radio, which is often tuned into certain story-programs.


MINOR ROOMS
FOYER & ENTRANCE
The entry to the apartment is curiously spacious to some perhaps, or at least until one actually sees the wendigo both standing there. The hall is thankfully wide enough for a naga to pass through, though really if you can't pass through that, you can't pass through the door. As both residents are wendigo of course, there is no shoe rack; there is, however, a bristle-hedgehog, which was given to them by one of the apartment residents as a move-in gift with the idea that they could use it to scrape off any grime from their hooves. (It works.)

In addition to the hedge hog, there is also a small coat-rack; once again, there is little here, save for raincoats for both, and eventually a winter coat for Reira, as both boys are immune to the cold (but in the case of the latter, still fond of heat).
STORAGE & LAUNDRY
The storage closet is a tiny room, which can barely be considered 'storage'. Inside there is a small washing machine which Kurt managed to scrape together the funds for, along with other cleaning tools such as a broom, mop, and vacuum (for rugs). Because of this however, Kurt has to essentially empty the closet in order to do laundry.
LINEN & FABRICS CLOSET
The second closet in the foyer is more likely intended to have been where coats ACTUALLY went, but Kurt instead uses it for other purposes; in addition to storing any spare linen for the bedrooms, it is where the vast majority of the fabrics for his side job are kept, stacked neatly and organized as best as possible. Towels, however, are kept in the bathroom..
BALCONY
Just barely large enough to perhaps sit a chair on the one side, the balcony is used mostly for laundry purposes; after the apartment appeared there, the Landlord created a deal with them, stringing a long clothes-line system between the two railings. As a result, they occasionally either gain or lose a shirt.

Oops.



MAIN ROOMS
WASHROOM
The washroom is a simple one, with the bare basics enclosed inside; there is a shower/bath off to the side, and across from the sink can be found a small closet, within which towels and other supplies such as for cleaning can be stored. Since Reira and Kurt are both furred, and Kurt in particular stands firmly by the idea of keeping clean, they go through a lot of shampoo to say the least.

Aside from everything, there is also a small stool folded beside the sink, which Reira uses to be able to use it and see in the mirror.
KITCHEN
The kitchen is somewhat narrowly fashioned, with things arranged such that it is impossible to walk around anything when the oven door is open; there are a number of cabinets within the tiled area of the room thankfully, and the sink is just large enough that a large pot can be set inside for washing (though it is still quite awkward).

The counter with the sink built into it is wider than normal however, as it is also what serves as the kitchen table. On the wood portion of the 'kitchen', there are three bar-chairs lined up along the counter, where people can sit and eat. Rather unfortunately, as with most any area of the house, there is a window shining directly onto said counter--and the glass balcony door is just behind them.
GREAT ROOM
Attached to the kitchen, the great room is by far the most well lit room in the apartment, much to Kurt's eventual chagrin. It is loosely furnished when the apartment is first acquired--there is a loveseat, and two matching chairs, both patterned with a design of plants which rather curiously resemble horsetail grass. There is also a tall radio, which stands between the doors to Reira and Kurt's rooms, and behind the loveseat is a desk and chair where Kurt is able to do much of his sewing work (most particularly after he gets a sewing machine.

Eventually there is also a floor rug, a coffee table, a number of lamps, and a television here as well, along with a small bookshelf.


BEDROOMS
KURT'S ROOM
Kurt's bedroom is patterned with another curious and unknown wallpaper, and rather unfortunately for him is also the bedroom with the most windows. It came with a cushioned bench in one of the corners, with shelves in the base--the bench being built in completely. Aside from that, he has his bed, wardrobe for clothes, and a small dressing table/desk with a stool, where paper work and such is often done if he wants Reira to be unaware of his actions. There is also a side table, and eventually an accompanying lamp; though there is not much room to store anything on it.
REIRA'S ROOM
Reira's room is about as large as Kurt's, with half the risk--literally, it has half as many windows thanks to the fortunate fact that it is located between Kurt's room and the washroom (Though the washroom itself still remains the only room in the apartment without windows). Inside Reira's room is much the same furnishings as in Kurt's; there is a wardrobe, a dressing table/desk with accompanying stool, and a small side table with a lamp. Reira's bed however is far smaller than Kurt's, as the boy will never have need for anything larger than a child's bed. It has also been curtained; both beds are four posters. Additionally, instead of a corner bench as in Kurt's room, Reira's room has a rocking chair in the corner, and Kurt often finds himself falling asleep there when trying to keep an eye on Reira.

REIRA AKABA
PLAYER NAME Usagi
CONTACT INFORMATION [plurk.com profile] usagisquared
CHARACTER NAME Reira Akaba (soft_focus & blurspot, Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V)
Age 7 (Technically 8)
Gem Blue Chalcedony, located between her shoulders at her back, visible through burnt hole in sweater.
Current Appearance & Poof Count 2 (Image Missing)
Permissions Grabbing the child and carrying her around is fine, same as meta limited to recognition of the Duel Monsters card game. If any violence is going to be had, I would rather plan that out and discuss it first however.
NOTES Reira's ability is to mirror and/or negate a power at random by meeting a certain eye with her own and blinking; for each power she has negated or copied (limit 1 each), a clone can be created to fight for her, or fuse with her to act as armor. If you would rather a certain ability not be copied or negated at any time, and if you have preferences concerning the fusion and cloning aspect of her ability, please note it in a comment below!
FURTHER WARNINGS: Reira comes from a heavily traumatic background involving a severe war zone where she was orphaned at an unknown age. She canonically has experienced flashbacks as a likely side effect of PTSD, locking up and 'losing himself'. Her formerly 'dull' demeanor is a likely symptom of this. As it is possible that this will come up in play, if there are concerns and desires to avoid such mentions or implications, feel free to let me know here.
At this time, known symptoms of an attack as experienced by Reira include: Hyperventilation, shock, hallucination, and overwhelming fear/anxiety-a potential symptom may additionally include confusion.
Currently it requires a heavy amount of mental and physical stress to bring the risk of a trigger; Reira will naturally become nervous as topics akin to what she remembers come forward, but in order to spark an actual attack she must feel she is in actual danger. The canon trigger thus far is the approaching attack of three masked figures; therefore, it can be assumed that similar attacks would cause this reaction.
Breaking down doorways, as well as the sound of tanks and bombshell fire, could potentially contribute, but will be a more vague possibility (Read: it is entirely up to other parties involved in a thread).
Given the above traumas, it is not unlikely that she could suffer from nightmares and/or night terrors relating to the events of her past.
ABILITIES
    Shapeshifting; limited to objects and creatures she has seen, still retains her brother's scarf in the shape taken.
    Fusion

    Weapon Generation: 'Camera Glove' (Copies a single weapon at a time; this weapon is identical to the original in almost every way, but is somewhat weaker, and lacks a 'trained hand' to hold it. In the absence of a Gem's weapon, it can copy up to two material objects in the surroundings to form a weapon according to her mental focus.)

    ☆ 'Photocopy' - By focusing her energy into a blank piece of card at any size, she can fill it with the still image of whatever she can remember; this is limited by the size of the card, as the more detail she tries to input at once, the hazier the image...likewise, the larger the scale of the image, the more that becomes lost to detail.

    ☆ 'Blink' - By making eye contact with the left eye, Reira copies a power at random. Notably, she does not copy any skill with this power. This lasts for 24 hours, or until she blinks another (including the first player).

    ☆ 'Wink' - By making eye contact with the right eye, Reira negates a power at random. Notably, this does not reverse any changes already made by certain abilities. This lasts for 24 hours, or until she 'winks' another (including the first player).

    ☆ 'Clone Spawning' - According to any gem she has presently blinked or winked, a clone may be created; this clone is dedicated to Reira's safety, and will fight for her cause, even fusing with her to further protect her.
    In addition to cloning gems she has winked, Reira is alternatively able to spawn up to the number of 'unblinked' gems, a clone of her own self (So either 1:1 or 2:0). These clones, instead of obtaining her weapon as any blinked one will, instead carry the spindash ability. Current Hit Limit: 'Fatal Strike'
    ☆☆ 'Mirror Mirror' - Reira is able to view, through the associated eye, whatever her clones are able to see. If this ability is in use for both clones, her gem acts as a '3rd eye' for her personal surroundings

    ☆ 'Spindash' - Curling into a ball, much like the typical battle-borne quartz, Reira is able to rotate at high speed and charge with great force, rather like a thrown wheel. A spindash moves quickly enough that it can even move up walls, though she'll need to practice in order to reach this point.

'HANDLERS'


Bucky said a handler is someone who you're loyal to, that's really strong. Since loyal means someone you trust, that means Niisama is probably mine, right? Niisama isn't here, but if he isn't there I'm supposed to listen to what the Lancers say, and if the Lancers aren't there, I listen to these people instead, since I live with them right now. So that makes them handlers too, I think.



 




Even though they aren't the ones I'm supposed to listen to, a lot of these people helped me before. I also see some of them a lot, so if I have to, I'm okay with listening to them too.






I didn't talk to these people very much, but I know their names. I will probably talk to them more some other day, maybe.



 




I've seen these ones before, but I don't know who they are, not really. Maybe I can ask later.






People I don't like at all... ...Also people that I've been told to stay away from. ...There's only one right now...

HOW'S MY DRIVING
REIRA AKABA | GOBLIN | FOURTH ALIGNED PRIEST

LAKE DALA, BAVAN LAKESIDE RESIDENT


PERMISSIONS


* FOURTH-WALLING -- Rather not, she's got enough brainbreak to deal with
* BACKTAGGING -- Perfectly fine! Threadhops are also ok if all involved agree!


* HUGGING/GRABBING -- She's eleven so while she might protest lightly, it's not like much is stopping you. THAT SAID.
* INJURY -- PM first if it goes beyond minor cuts and scrapes (so like broken bones or leeched energy). Goes without saying that any actual dying means heavy plotting.
* MIND READING/SIMILAR -- Reira has information revealed about her history that may be triggering in many ways, so it would be best to send a message before such techniques, so that things can better be worked out.
* ROMANCE -- She's 11 at the moment, but if you're in her age window and just want to hold hands and hug, go for it? For obvious reasons, I'm not comfortable with anything that moves beyond what would probably be considered a playdate/outting with a friend for obvious reasons.

WARNINGS

As noted above, Reira has what may be a very triggering background, having lived in the core of a warzone from birth until just recently in her series. It should not come up by this point in time within the game, but if there are concerns even so, let me know.

Specific details on this matter include matters of child abuse/neglect, 'experimentation' (think Winter Soldier with Cards here), and child warfare. Once again, these topics should not come up (and if they do, will come with explicit warning), but please let me know ahead of time if you wish to avoid these matters no matter what.

Do you have questions or concerns about Reira's character? Potential squicks or phobias you wish to address so that they're avoided in the future? Leave a comment here, and I'll make sure to keep that in mind.

Additionally, if you wish to do some plotting beyond game events, you can leave a note here for that as well. Just leave a comment below, and I'll get to it ASAP!

Please note that this page will be updated as Reira's location, appearance, and deity alliance change.

CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Reira Akaba
Age: 7 (Age vague)
Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V
Canon Point: Episode 58
Character Information: History Here!

Personality: Younger brother to Reiji Akaba, Reira is both alike and completely unlike the elder of the Akaba boys by far. What they share beyond physical traits is little; but it is enough. Highly intelligent, a heavy amount of expectations have been placed on him despite his age; as a student of LDS, he's become known as the 'gem of LDS' (being directly referred to as such)--a celebrated and powerful result of their classes--and beyond this, he is by far the youngest member of the Lancers Defense Selection, with all others of the 9-man team being between the ages of 14 and 16. Despite this strength however, it seems as if the path there has been relatively devoid of support outside his brother; he observes the sight of other children being cheered on and even encouraged after their loss, with a distant and perhaps even confused stare. It's a clearly foreign sight to him, one which he quickly turns away from at that time.

It can be difficult to gauge Reira's emotions with that in mind; though he speaks clearer and stronger when serious--something he seems to rarely do at all--his demeanor is typically very quiet and subdued. His words come slowly, and even hesitantly (with his words audibly coming across as such, and the translations of them being constantly filled with elipses and pauses). During duel chants and duels themselves he reacts just as minimally, even in combination with that stronger voice. His words are monotonous, and his expression almost permanently wide-eyed and blank. During a duel, very little if anything seems to phase him either--a likely product of constant training in LDS, along with the expectations of his mother and brother. Outside a duel, he's simply quiet; he scarcely vocalizes beyond short sounds (such as when he gestured to the collapsing Solid Vision Wall during Yuuya's duel against Security), restricting himself to stares and cries of alarm; the most he asks during this particular moment in fact is 'where's my brother?', and to even claim he utilizes gestures ordinarily would be somewhat false. Beyond his point toward the wall after all, he made no such motions.

Because of the subtleties of his emotions, it becomes very evident when he experiences them strongly--the key word being 'when'. When he smiles, it has so far been entirely restricted to events regarding his brother; he smiles and breathes with relief at contact with and encouragement from him after winning a duel--and even thanks the boy he defeats in the final championship duel after said boy compares him to Reiji, a comment to which Reira quietly says '...thanks' in response to. In contrast to this, he gave no response at all to an earlier comment from the same boy, regarding his fusion summoning skill; considering how many other adults have already regarded him as best of the best (News reporter on his debut, his own mother), it's clear that such comments are considered more typical, expected, if anything after all.

If there is one aspect of his personality that can be seen most clearly from the rest, it is his fear--something that is observed almost immediately by the main cast upon his debut. A state he seems to almost perpetually be in, Reira carries his teddybear constantly as security toward this. He is seen clutching it closely when his mother grabs his shoulder while bragging about how she's certain her son will win his next match, and only puts it down for a due--or rather, hands it to someone else without comment, expecting them to take it instead (this point alone outs him as a rather direct child when it comes to interactions, but he otherwise prefers minimum interaction, noted by how often in recent episodes he's simply sat off to the side in silence). When witnessing the crowds of the opening ceremonies for the tournament, as well as when in the presence of those who seem angry, Reira squeezes it tightly with both arms--expressions of clear terror over his face in these moments, his grip on the bear firm and unbreaking (he's been pulled around a fair bit with this thing still held close, though there is more to that below, as it was a more extreme case.)

This fear amplifies without the presence of his brother, as seen in more recent events. In both of the prior examples, Reiji is with him, albeit sitting and minding his own business. When he appears in Synchro without him however, his first instinct is to run from what danger appears, crying aloud in terror. His responses to when Yuuya (who of course is present) attempts to comfort him, are minimal at best. Yuuya's entertainment techniques are met with confusion and uncertainity, and while he obeys the other's request to 'hold tight' (with them riding on Yuuya's hippo in that moment), it is evident that Yuuya does not succeed in calming Reira down more than a fraction. While the boy clings to him in fear during those moments, and does indeed remain relatively close sometime after, he withdraws as soon as the danger has passed, again holding his bear close and his mouth shut. His comfort levels around Yuuya are thus truly 'minimal', even if it is a clear difference between the teen and the remaining people around--Reira still needs a nudge to be pulled to attention (Though this is more connected to his habit of staring off in thought), and still remains mostly silent in the other's presence when outside a moment of panic. He simply happens to tolerate more of that 'presence', and, perhaps, now carry awareness that Yuuya at least is someone he can hide behind if danger comes again.

Overall Reira seems to be a very shy, withdrawn child; he idolizes his elder brother, to the point that at the very mention of searching for him, he brightens enough to blindly follow for a way to him...and likewise, whimpers and quietly whines when restained from that possible reunion (as seen when Yuuya himself held the boy back for his own safety, after Reira attempted to follow Serena and Sawatari to find the man). His dependence on him is unmistakeable, leaving him desperate and skittish without the brother there. When it comes to himself, Reira reacts heavily to the comments other make about him as well, not wanting to be seen or watched--when he is first introduced to the Lancers and met with comments of incredulity (largely being statements concerning his age, and how it would 'hold the others back'), he voices no defense for himself, and even turns away in clear discomfort, trying to 'shut them out'. While this is also reflected in his monotonous, depressive voice however, this also means that any emotions he does display beyond it are immediately evident. He's frightened by conflict certainly (or at the least, the idea of capture, considering Security's statements for arrest immediately preceeded his mad dash away and into a wall), and perhaps even by expectations placed on him; during the start of his first duel it is obvious that he is uncomfortable with being there, and he does not even begin his match until catching sight of his mother mouthing an unknown statement from a window--a sight met with fear and widening eyes before he gets to it. (In contrast of course, both the sight of a 'CC' card, an archetype similar to his brother's 'DD' in naming convention, as well as the connected motion to search for his brother in the window and realize the other's presence, are what spur him to duel seriously, showing the clear gap between his perceptions of his brother compared to all others in that moment.)

This combination of traits leaves him confused about the bonds between others and their friends, and especially about the idea of encouragement or happiness in the face of a loss; such things are what he has regarded with blank staring from afar after all, both after his duel, and even during it. Confusion aside though, these are things he clearly gives much thought toward; at the very least, combined with the many observations his brother has had him sit in on (key of which being duels concerning those of other dimensions), he is viewed as being capable of giving deeper thought into situations--his brother clearly holds his strength in high regard (even stating aloud that he considers the boy of equal strength to the other Lancers), and tells him to in particular observe a duel between duelists of Fusion and Xyz closely, as the 'fate of the world' itself rests upon it. Outside the statements of others, we have his very path of sight--the most noted being his stare to his brother's hands when a duelist on the screen they observe explains (brags about, really) the violent nature of the Fusion dimension. Reiji's hands tightened in their fold and trembled; a sight which Reira did not at all miss, and in fact stared at for some time, clearly taking the response into consideration.

Close as he is to his brother, separation does not become him. While he does at least seem slightly more open to other people, most obviously Yuuya thanks to the attack from Security, he does not tend to approach anyone on his own, and if anything is more inclined to curl into a ball off to the side to be alone with his bear. Being willing to be near and hold onto Yuuya is clearly not something that comes hand in hand with trust; not when each of Yuuya's dueling techniques are met with his questioning stare. This is a child who is asocial to a fault, drawing responses of confusion from others around them early on (in particular, the children he dueled in his first two matches viewed him as being weird), and otherwise fading from view when allowed (noted particularly by his background-sitting in recent episodes)...

However, given how little people have been letting him do that in most recent episodes (key being not only Yuuya, but also 'Amanda', a young girl living with Crow, the man who rescued the group and let them into his home), it's evident at least that he'll at least slightly begin to open up to others.

...Even if 'opening up' simply means displaying more than neutrality in their presence.

I'm fine with Either, but I would appreciate the change even more if it could be associated physically or thematically with Reira somehow.

Summary:

  • Reira was born a few years before his father abandoned the family for the Fusion Dimension; how much he's aware of is unknown, but it's implied he's afraid of his mother--so the two points could be connected.

  • From a young age it's clear he adores his brother though, as evidenced by his love for him now; this drives him to duel to the best of his ability in the 'Junior' level tournament, going from hesitant to steady and strong in his duel with 'Ayu Ayukawa' once he realized his brother was watching.

  • In the middle of the tournament (before his other matches)--as well as throughout it--Reira visits his brother in his 'observation room', where Reiji, watching the duels as well as his brother's reactions to them.

  • During one in particular--a duel outside the tournament, in the middle of a park at night, Reiji specifically tells him to watch close, as 'the fate of their future rests upon it'.

  • Following this, Reira continues to pave his way through the Junior tournament, displaying the ability to summon using Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz summons--something his final opponent, Tatsuya, accurately predicts of him.

  • When Tatsuya voices this prediction, he notes (after his loss) that it's much like Reira's brother, Reiji; Reira smiles shyly at this and goes to meet with Reiji, carrying his trophy.

  • Instead of finding Reiji in his observation room, Reira and their mother end up watching Reiji duel against Yuuya Sakaki instead, the latter having challenged him in a rage over the 'test' that the battle royale had become (which had cost others their 'lives' in a sense).

  • After the duel was over (Reiji having won), Reira is made a 'Lancer' by him; he is quietly presented to the other Lancers by Reiji.

  • Though he prepares to leave when hearing many make comments on how he can't be strong enough to fight with them, and is only a child, Reiji announces that he is just as strong (if not stronger) than all of them.

  • From here, they make the trip to Synchro Dimension--however, Reira is separated from his brother en-route, and appears in 'Commons' with Yuuya, Serena, and Shingo Sawatari.

  • Their arrival is greeted with 'Security', and when he tries to flee from them in fear, he's blocked by a wall they summon, leaving Yuuya to try and comfort him while also struggling to convince the others not to so hastily start dueling the police there.

  • Despite Yuuya's attempts to keep him calm, and perhaps even happy during the encounter, Reira remains incredibly anxious and frightened; this isn't helped when the walls fade to reveal more Security officers, and especially not by the sudden arrival of Crow's gang, who snatch him and the others up by the arms to carry them away by D-Wheel.

  • Reira spends three days in this place, scarcely if ever speaking. When he finally does, it's revealed that he seems to view things with an almost soldier-like lens; he asks Crow, who told him to go eat, if the statement is 'an order'.

  • Soon after this, Crow and Yuuya start arguing over what's more important (Food or Smiles), and attempt to gain Reira's support for their own side while dueling. The duel is interrupted when Security arrives to successfully arrest everyone however...

  • Everyone but Reira, who in the chaos is whisked away to an unknown location by the ninja duelist 'Tsukikage', another of the lancers.


History:
Relatively little is known of Reira's origins for certain, beyond the fact that he's Akaba Reiji's younger brother by a number of years, while remaining old enough to have been born some time before his father left their family without warning. His age unknown as anything beyond 'obviously elementary school level', Reira--like his brother--is something of a prodigy, and by the events of Arc-V is already haild as LDS' 'precious gem' despite his age. This skill is clearly seen in his mastering of all three standard Special Summons; Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz, and it is during his tournament debut that he displays this.

While clearly frightened at the tournament, his mother's implied instruction (Reira does not move forward to his first duel until catching his mother's seeming expectant glare from a distant window) prompts him to move forward, but it is his brother's encouragement which drives him to duel with his full ability. After facing Ayu Ayukawa using Fusion summoning to move to the second round, he proceeds to defeat Futoshi Harada using Synchro summoning--between this time and his next duel, he observes other duels with his brother, in secret, from Reiji's 'observation room'; during this time it's implied that Reira is already somewhat aware of the dimensional threat he will be expected to face, with his brother even saying at one point 'watch carefully--the fate of our world rides on this'. (This awareness can be somewhat supported later on, when his mother takes him up to the observation room herself, as well as just before his third match where her words that 'everything will go as planned' prompt him to hold his teddybear close in unease.)

Following his third match against an unknown duelist, Reira faces Tatsuya for the championship match of the Junior Cup, defeating the boy in a close fight using Xyz summoning. His success earns the comment that he's 'like [his brother]' from Tatsuya, a fact that gives Reira a slight boost of confidence before he leaves with his mother to show Reiji the proof of his success.

It is not long after this that the remaining tournament matches are cancelled, with the announcement that the dimension is now preparing for war coming forward. The remaining participants of the Junior Youth competition are hailed as the soldiers who will move forward to their defense, 'Lancers', but when the duelists gather before Reiji in preparation to take this step, Reiji announces that there will be 9 of them rather than 8--Reira will also be coming. Protests that Reira is merely a child are met with two facts from Reiji; the first being that Reira's strength, supposedly, matches or even surpasses their own, and the second being that they will not be heading to the battlefield just yet. Instead they are to head for the Synchro dimension, in order to hopefully make an alliance.

While they leave as one however, the group arrives in separate locations; Reira in particular finds himself with Yuuya, Shingo, and Serena--his brother nowhere to be found. Already frightened by this fact, the appearance of Synchro dimension's police force ('Security') work him up even further, prompting Yuuya to do his best to both protect and ease his worries via 'entertainment duel' tactics against the opponent. While it works to an extent, this inevitably fails, moreso when Shingo's bragging about their duel methods give the enemy key information on their tactics, and when Serena refuses to go through with a plan to flee with Reira for the boy's safety ('I won't run! I can take everyone on!').

As luck would have it, Yuuya's failed destruction buys enough time for 'Crow Hogan' to enter the area, he and his gang whisking the four away using their D-Wheels. They would be taken to Crow's home, where they could be safe. While Serena and Sawatari would leave and return constantly over the next three days to search for Reiji, Yuuya remained there and kept Reira there as well, despite the boy's occasional attempt to follow suit. Eventually, 'Shinji' (one of Crow's friends) appears with candy--after asking Crow if the request for him to join the others and eat is an order, Crow tells him 'yes', and so he eats without question. After this, Yuuya and Crow try to convince him to support their side of an argument over what's more important, but he looks to the side each  time, nervous and unwilling to get involved. The duel is interrupted in the end, and in the chaos caused by Security arresting everyone, Reira is snatched away by the ninja Tsukikage.

Personality:
Younger brother to Reiji Akaba, Reira is both alike and completely unlike the elder of the Akaba boys by far. What they share beyond physical traits is little; but it is enough. Highly intelligent, a heavy amount of expectations were placed on him despite his age; as a student of LDS, it seems he met and exceeded these, becoming known as the 'gem of LDS'--a celebrated and powerful result of their classes. Despite this strength however, it seems as if the path there has been relatively devoid of support outside his brother; he observes the sight of other children being cheered on and even encouraged after their loss, with a distant and perhaps even confused stare.
 
It can be difficult to gauge Reira's emotions with that in mind; though he speaks clearer and stronger when serious--something he seems to rarely do at all--his demeanor is typically very quiet and subdued. During duel chants and duels themselves he reacts minimally, even in combination with that stronger voice. His words are monotonous, and his expression almost permanently wide-eyed and blank. During a duel, very little if anything seems to phase him either--a likely product of constant training in LDS, along with the expectations of his mother and brother.
 
Because of the subtleties of his emotions, it becomes very evident when he experiences them strongly--the key word being 'when'. When he smiles, it seems to be entirely restricted to events regarding his brother; he smiles and breathes with relief at contact with and encouragement from him, and even thanks the boy he defeats in a duel after said boy compares him to Reiji--a comment which Reira quietly says '...thanks' in response to.
 
If there is one aspect of his personality that can be seen clearly however, it is his fear. A state he seems to almost perpetually be in, Reira carries his teddybear constantly for comfort from this it seems, clutching it closely when his mother grabs his shoulder while bragging about how she's certain her son will win his next match. He only puts it down for a duel, and when witnessing the crowds of the opening ceremonies for the tournament, as well as when in the presence of those who seem angry, squeezes it tightly with both arms--expressions of clear terror over his face in these moments.
 
This fear amplifies without the presence of his brother, as seen in more recent events. In both of the prior examples, Reiji is with him, albeit sitting and minding his own business. When he appears in Synchro without him however, his first instinct is to run from what danger appears, crying aloud in terror.
 
Overall Reira seems to be a very shy, withdrawn child; he idolizes his elder brother, and reacts heavily to the comments other make about him, not wanting to be seen or watched. While it's reflected in his monotonous, depressive voice however, this also means that any emotions he does display beyond it are immediately evident. He's frightened by conflict it seems, and perhaps even by expectations placed on him; this combination of traits leaves him confused about the bonds between others and their friends, and especially about the idea of encouragement or happiness in the face of a loss. Confusion aside though, these are things he clearly gives much thought toward; and it seems from the way he regards other confusing sights, that he's a very pensive child (which is supported by his intelligence as a duelist, something that supposedly outranks his fellow older 'Lancers').
 
There is a curious extension of his personality however, which perhaps adds a sinister outlook to how he perceives his brother. Quiet as he is, the clear question 'Is that an order' made in series proves a familiarity with militaristic terms. By the time he asks Crow this, he has observed enough to realize that Crow is in particular the one 'in charge' where he is at the moment. He has a clear eye for where authority is, and an immediate instinct to thus respect and obey that authority whether they frighten him or not--at least if they're clearly on his side (proven when he obey's Crow's 'order' without question). In the end, it is a clear side effect of being raised in a family set on preparing a city for war; and it will take time before he opens up beyond this role as a little soldier, which despite potential readiness (hinted through his sudden determination at his brother's encouragement), is clearly unbecoming of a boy who in all actuality is scared and alone.

Gem Considerations: 'Blue Chalcedony' (Teardrop Cabochon, Back)

Blue Chalcedony specifically is a stone of calm, and comes in varieties of blue and baby-blue. Combined with the popular teardrop cut it's often put in, and it suits Reira as he is now, with his rather depressive but overall subdued attitude. There is more to this stone however, which gives Reira a strong goal to work toward; Blue Chalcedony is said to aid others in overcoming anxiety and stage fright, allowing them to speak louder and clearer. It would help Reira to gain confidence in himself and his actions, speaking clearly even outside a duel and approaching others on his own terms instead of hiding in fear.

That said, it'll be on the back, mirroring his habits of hiding away from most things.

Power considerations:
List Three Powers You Would Like Your Character To Have:
  • 'Blink' (Right Eye)

  • 'Wink' (Left Eye)

  • Mirror Gems


Reira's never obviously had any sort of power, so it'll be a very scary experience for him, one that he'll likely need a lot of help with--both in mastering the power and in accepting that he has it. His abilities have been drawn largely from the nature of his deck in the series; monsters which copy other monsters, disable them, and more importantly combine their power with those enemy monsters to create a greater strength of their own. As he has a good deal of trouble making eye contact with others, his abilities will be extremely difficult to abuse as well, so please keep this in mind.

'Blink' and 'Wink' as I called them are both the same in action, but have opposite effects. If Reira makes eye contact with another gem (or possibly a gem beast), and blinks his right eye like a camera shutter, he can mirror one of their abilities as his own. The drawback to this is that he does not copy their experiences; which means he is left to figure out how to utilize the power on his own. This power lasts until he blinks at another gem, or until he sleeps.

Same as with 'Blink', if Reira uses his left eye rather than his right, he does not absorb a power but instead disables it. Esepcially strong or latent abilities (IE: Fusion) may not be completely disabled of course, but they will become more difficult for the victim to utilize. This only affects one gem/gem beast at a time however; so it again either wears off if he blinks another gem, or if he goes to sleep.

That said, if he blinks the same gem twice, the power reverses; a stolen power is thus 'returned', and a negated one is thus 're-activated'.

His third ability is a very unique one--Reira can create mirror doubles of gems he's currently blinked (so there's a limit of two), each carrying one of those gem's powers. Reira could potentially even fuse with these doubles (though only with one, as two becomes too much to handle)--provided he has enough confidence to manage the fusion. This fusion isn't the same as an 'actual' one, as the 'other half' is relatively mindless. (If Reira obtains an ability THIS way however, he DOES gain the knowledge of how it works, which is largely the point of using the clones in this manner). As a side note, the clones are less durable than standard gems; if struck through, or over the 'copied gem', they dissolve and cannot reform.
