Aka

Tigerboy God of Mars, purrviewer of mischief

Character

Aka Tora appears as a pretty young boy in his early-late teens with short blonde hair and piercingly beautiful orange eyes. Atop his head are two blonde and fuzzy tiger ears, and he also has an equally fuzzy striped tiger tail. He stands at about 5'7'' and has a lithe, agile and lightly muscled frame that's typically hidden by the distinctively red kimono or other crimson robes he wears. He has sharp canine teeth, like a feline's. Aka is the Japanese god and personification of "Kasei", also known as Mars in foreign lands. As a result Aka is the epitome of ambition, energy, and assertiveness. The 'Red Tiger' is known for his cocky attitude, smug demeanor, and absolute willpower. His godly abilites give Aka the abilites of shapeshifting, super-strength, immortality, and nigh-invulnerability among others. He's also capable of energy manipulation due to his affinity to the 'Red Star' Kasei, and can control the chakras or chi of himself or humans he encounters. Aka has a pet white tiger named 'Shiroi', who is often seen by Aka's side. Shiroi is a magical tiger, naturally, with the approximate intelligence of a human and some special abilities of his own. Most notably Shiroi possess the ability to turn into a white shooting star, which Aka rides through the sky when he needs to get somewhere quickly. As the deity of Kasei, Aka has an inherent superiority complex when it comes to himself in comparison to ordinary humans, although it's not as pronounced as some of the other gods. Ak…

Lifting his hands to frame the red twinkling light with his fingers, the tigerboy lets out a low whistle. "Granted," He adds after a moment of silent appreciation, "It looks, uh, a lot better up close. But this is nice too." Too nice, in fact. Too nice to not share. "Mou...alright, Shiroi-kun," Aka chirps, turning to his lounging feline companion. "Let's get goin' already. Hup hup, up you get. No more lazing around, big kitty." Aka snickers at that, his own tail flicking against the grass playfully. Shiroi, for its part, blinks its blue eyes dully at Aka with a certain sort of irreverence that only a large cat could possess. The white tiger yawns and stretches out on the grass, before falling into step with its master. "Lots to do, lots to do on a night like this. Lots o' fun to be had..." Aka muses, tapping his chin in thought. "Maybe we'll come across a hapless human to share it with. Or maybe the hapless human will *be* the source of entertainment, eh?" At that, Aka lets a shit-eating grin crawl up his young face as he looks around. "Hmmm..." The tigerboy's ears twitch as his enhanced hearing picks up on a sound. It sounds like...footsteps. Coming from... "Alright, Shiroi. Make yourself scarce," Aka whispers, shooing his familiar away until the magic tiger dissipates into a fine mist. "Don't need you scaring off the new plaything- er, aquaintance so soon with y…
