Personality: Akutsu is a gruff, mostly apathetic young man with a very disrespectful attitude. A lot of this can be attributed to his upbringing. He is the bastard son of a young single mother, and was raised in a small, rundown apartment, learning to fend for himself as his mom scraped and worked for a decent enough life for them both. He only knows certain things about his father; that he was a vampire hunter, and that he disappeared just before Akutsu was born. His mother hasn't revealed anything more to him, and over the years he's decided he doesn't care. While growing up, he was frequently recruited into street gangs in the area, and though he did well enough in school, he played hooky more often than not. Among the usual thug activities, he took up smoking at fourteen, and had himself tattooed. His mother attempted to corral his energy by putting him through training, both hunter training and martial arts. It was a good move, and he was able to channel a lot of his anger and violence into it. Then, very recently, he tracked a vampire he suspected was hanging around their home. He attacked in order to protect his mother, and was bit and turned. He doesn't even know the name of the vampire who is now his master, but hates him with every fiber of his being for changing and ruling over him. Whoever the vampire is, he occasionally sends him single drops of his blood. It fills Akutsu with self loathing every time he can't will himself to throw them away. He tends to direct this self-loathing outward, isolating himself from others more. It wasn't his decision to come to the academy, and because he loathes both the vampires and the clueless humans that idolize them, he keeps to himself, wishing for a way to kill his 'master.'
RP Sample: He used to like the moon.
A thin stream of smoke curled upwards into the night. Akutsu Jin flicked the ash from his cigarette absently, his yellow-gold eyes scanning the school grounds. Nothing but vampires, as far as he could see. Pampered, bloodsucking little shits. When they bothered to glance his way, it was to give him disgusted or condescending looks. Or to laugh and put him down to whoever they were with.
It made him want to rig every one of their damn windows to fly open at dawn, since he couldn't rip them apart personally.
He refused to acknowlege their looks or their ridicule. So long as they left him alone and didn't start anything with him, he could detest them just fine from afar. So far, he hadn't had any incidents.
Humans were another story. They stared, and pointed, and treated the vampires like celebrities. It was downright sickening. He had no patience for it, and tended to send them glares that spooked them enough to skitter away from him quickly. If they didn't, he told them flat out to get the fuck out of his way.
He didn't like it here. No way. But he'd promised his mother. She knew as well as he did he was more likely to stake himself than stay a vampire, but at this school he had a shot to find some way to get around being that bastard's puppet. Or, at least figure out how to take the vampire down with him. Either way, he'd be satisfied. Revenge kept him going, and he'd keep moving until he got it.
Sick of the sight of his classmates already, he flicked his cigarette butt down on the ground, grinding it out with his boot. He looked up again, eyes hardening at the brightness that shone down on him from the veil of the night.
He hated the fucking moon.
Other comments: He chain-smokes when he can, and is very coarse with others when he does speak. Expect a lot of antisocial and/or hostile behaviour.
