He is the First player in SAO to gain a level over 100 and the first to gain over 12 skill slots as a result. Known as the most versatile player in the game, he was known as being a survivalist. He did what he had to do in order to survive the ordeal SAO put him in. He has several in game Monikers including his infamous moniker as the PK Guild Hunter in which he earned by killing off PK Guilds in SAO.
Akatsuki has Long shoulder length and slightly spiky black hair and vibrant golden amber eyes. He generally wears a pair of Khaki pants, a white button down or tee shirt and a blue denim jacket with a pair of red lace up sneakers. Other times he will wear a Hawaiian shirt with a pair of cargo shorts and leather sandals. When out and about he almost always wears a pair of aviator sunglasses and sometimes a brown wide brim fedora. When going to school he wears his Highschool uniform but still wears his Aviators nonetheless. He also has his left ear pierced and often wears a Moldavite Magatama Earring and a Moldavite Magatama Necklace, other times he wears a cross earring and necklace made from meteoric alloys.
Sword Art Online[]
Akatsuki started out wearing a black trench coat and black pants with black military style boots and black gloves. Before the beta was over his avatar had long waist length red hair and a scar over his left eye. After the beta was over he retained his irl appearance in the game with the exception of his outfit. Somewhere in the time skip he obtained a player-made black plague doctor's mask and obtained the coat of midnight from the marketplace. After the timeskip he remains wearing the plague doctor's mask but also wears an outfit similar to Kirito's but with taller boots, new matching gloves, and a black button-down shirt with dark silver buttons to match the belt and boot buckles as well as the silvery trim pieces on the coat of midnight. He also at some point obtained a user-made black top hat with a crow feather to match the rest of his outfit. The overall player killing skill plus this appearance is what gained him the moniker The Black Crow.
Personality[]
Akatsuki has a complex and two faced personality. With his loved ones and friends he values and treasures them dearly and will do anything to protect them and keep them safe. With allies he is dedicated and loyal and would never betray them. However, when it comes to enemies, he is their worst nightmare, when facing enemies he is just as analytical as he is with his friends but instead of using it for consideration for building a lasting relationship, on his enemies he uses this skill to pry at their mental, emotional, and physical weaknesses and limitations, to find the fastest, grueling, or most painful yet quickest ways to destroy them either figuratively or literally. Sometimes if he sees a few good qualities in an enemy he will also use this adept social skill to somehow "correct" them and turn them onto a better path, either through intimidation or conversation. Besides gaming, his hobbies include playing the guitar, collecting vintage vinyl, and collecting antiques. When not gaming his heart out with Yumeko, He spends alot of his time at home working on one of his classic cars, a 1964 Chrysler 300K Coupe With a 512 CID Hemi which he uses in drift racing on his free time. He claims to at least own three classic cars, stating that his uncle comes back to Japan from his job in America at least once a year always bringing him a classic car as a souvenir.

While it is true bigger eats smaller, if the smaller is intelligent enough, the opposite is also true. The hunters eventually will become the hunted. That is the fate of Player Killers.

Humans are social creatures, and some are not able to survive on their own. Until they are, it is our job to protect them and nurture them so someday they may become our saviors from this hell.

We become strong because we are weak. When you become strong there will always be another that is stronger. Therefore even at our best we are weak, and most people forget that.
