rin akagi

Face Claim: ORIGINAL ART // BY ME

APPEARANCE



Rin stands at roughly 5'9 but carries herself as if she were 6', shoulders squared back and head held high. Her body is nice hourglass and toned so that she can crush a man's head with her thighs. She exercises often with more of her focus in cardio and flexibility to compliment her loose fighting style.
She has a few light freckles brushed across the bridge of her nose and shoulders and extremely unnerving red eyes, not helped by her insistence of piercing eye contact when looking at others. Her hair is intentionally choppy and dyed a deep blue-black that is always perfectly styled in that "not really trying" grunge style. Rin always makes sure she is fully committed to her goth-punk aesthetic and always is wearing a full face of makeup (her war paint) and her numerous rings and cuffs (her weapons).
She also has an intricate yakuza-style tattoo that goes down the entire length of her back and bits of her chest and arms (not entirely visible from the back) but only shows it too those she trusts completely. Additionally she has a few piercings; bridge, eyebrow, and a few other hidden places.

Rin has taken the liberty of accessorizing with the school uniform; rolling up the sleeves of the jacket and and leaving more of the buttons of the shirt undone with her ripped black thigh highs and black combat boots.
Rin is very particular with her fashion, gravitating towards styles that give her that mature and dangerous aura, lots of leather and black.


PERSONALITY



Rin is Shadowhaven's own ice queen, from her cold demeanor and stern words she is definitely one of the more intimidating peace students. She is a woman of few words and believes in brutal honesty, finding passivity a waste of time and would much prefer is everyone just said what they meant. Despite her cold exterior, she is incredibly passionate and determined towards her goals and can't help to have a soft spot to the few she considers friends.

Above all else Rin believes in a justice and despises those who would prey on the weak and helpless and will not hesitate to retaliate on behalf of others, often ending up picking fights with those she views as cowardly and cruel. She has a pretty black and white view of the world that influences her values but ultimately she truly does believe in her vision and will not hesitate to take any action if it meant protecting another. Because of her militant views she doesn't tend to get along with other peace-aligned students who usually think she's just trying to find a way to justify her blood lust and aggression.

Rin was raised pretty traditionally and still has some left overs of that life that she hasn't quite shaken off; She only calls people by their last name and expects the same in return, only using first names if she considers you a friend. English is her second language though she's been overseas for a while now so her accent is quite light, only intensifying when she's flustered or emotional.
Rin tends to be more detached from others and tends to keep them at an arm's length so its pretty difficult to get under her skin but if you manage to its very difficult to not tease her, its one of the few times anyone can see any real emotion on her face.



HISTORY



Rin Akagi was born in Honshu, Japan to the wife of a yakuza member and thus grew up in very closed circle. Rin was raised alongside the children of other clan members and was partly raised by the younger recruits and didn't know anything of the outside world. As far as Rin was concerned, this violence was the entire world, influencing her world view. As she grew older it was easy to fall into the pattern of violence set before her; join the family and wreak havoc it all was just so expected. As a woman she couldn't join officially and was trained to eventually be a bodyguard for the boss's wife, she was thrilled to be trained for such an important task but felt that she needed something more.

Rin was beginning to notice how difficult it was for stay stagnant. She created her own gang of women that roamed the streets looking for any reason to fight, any reason to let loose all this fire she had boiling to the surface within her. It was almost an itch that got more unbearable the longer she stilled her fists, small whispers that reverberated through her chest urging her forward. "Don't you want to feel it again?" the voices asks her "Don't you want to make them pay?" and god did she. She funneled the rage within her to purpose, targeting those she believed to be true scum, fueling a god complex that would help her develop her own brand of justice.

It was another night for her. The man crying and bleeding beneath her foot had been drunk and grabbing at hostesses in the club her family ran, scum. She kept a stormy expression as she kicked him hard in the ribs, any yells muffled by the sheer euphoria of scratching the itch. Her eyes glazed over as begun to grind her hell into his side.
HURT.
MAIM.
IMPAIR.
MUTILATE.
KILL.
Rin stilled looking down at the pathetic mess beneath her heel, how long has she been here doing this? She vomits before she realizes whats happened. This always happens when she lets the itch fester. "It felt good though didn't it?" Rin pauses, it was the voice but it wasn't in her head it was behind her.
"You were right all along Rin. You need to purge this world of men like that." Rin's eyes flicker over to the body. "Why ignore that flame in you?" Rin finally turns to voice, eyes steeled and unwavering as she follows the figure.

Rin moved overseas after becoming a prospective harbinger of war and has only become more assured of her beliefs. She knows the path she must walk and she will not hesitate.
