Character Name: Akito Sohma
Series:
Fruits BasketAge: Around 20.
Canon: Fruits Basket is the heartwarming tale of Honda Tohru discovering the secret, and secret pains, of the Sohma family. When hugged by a member of the opposite sex, those who bear the curse of the Chinese zodiac turn into their respective animal. It's not all fun and games until someone turns into a seahorse, though. The emotional, and even physical, scars of being a part of the Sohma clan are felt strongly by all those who are cursed. One of the reasons for the crippling strife is the cruel and twisted head of the family, Akito. Really, when God is one of us, he isn't a slob like one of us.
As the incarnation of the God of the zodiac, Akito possesses a special bond with all the cursed members of the Sohma family-A fact that he makes well-known and often takes advantage of. Given to having his way, he expects obedience from the rest of his family to unreasonable degrees. If someone acts out of place, Akito has the tendency to resort to violence and other tactics to ensure that nothing is contrary to his desires. He garners respect out of fear, not love. Akito's speech often reflects a believed superiority with cutting comments while appearing mild-mannered until provoked by any slight, real or not.
Sample Entry:
It really is a secluded place with a rustic charm, isn't it? Someone could just wander into the woods and never be heard from again, just like in those horror films. -Oh, that's right, someone has; several people, even. It really is surprising where my family can wander off to when left unwatched. I'll just have to keep a closer eye on them from now on. Really, they should be glad that I came all the way out to a place like this to find them, but I just couldn't leave them all by themselves. If you can't depend on family to never give you up or let you down, then who can you?
Now, as for the tour, there isn't much to distinguish this place from a filthy bog. The service is disappointing, and shouldn't be seen or heard... Or smelled, for that matter. They might explain the quality of the food served here, though. While I can appreciate local delicacies, I won't tolerate being served food that blinks at me again. Really, it's no wonder that everyone wants to escape this place, but the barrier is one of the few good points. It makes my work a bit easier.
As for the more unorthodox parts of this place, the rules are passable. I wouldn't want the eyes, or minds, of any of the younger members of my family being hurt. Children can be very delicate, after all. The rules should help inspire a Spartan living for the older members too. They have a tendency to be just as willful and troublesome as the children. It's a labor of love with them, really.
Haha, I didn't mean to keep you til your ears fell off. If you don't mind, I'll just pass my thoughts along to our dear cousin, Elizabeth, instead.
