Build and Skin Color: Akira has a slender build typical for a nepleslian, though she has a larger than normal bust. Her skin is a cream like color with yellow undertones.

Eyes and Facial Features: Akira has a heart shaped face and a broad nose thanks to her mixed heritage. Her almond shaped steel blue eyes that look like they could penetrate into someone's soul.

Hair Color and Style: Akira likes to keep her black hair layered and shoulder length. She also has streaks of red in her hair.

Distinguishing Features: Akira does not have any real distinguishing features.

Personality: Akira is a quiet but determined type of person that looks like she always has something on her mind. She is not known to be a huge talker, but will dive in a conversation if it interests her. But the lack of talking does not impair her ability to lead. When she does issue a command, it is well known and clear. Though the last 5 years of stagnation have taken their toll on her passion for the position.

• Likes: Akira gets along well with confident people. Pankration is a form of martial arts she picked up from watching Elysian matches after the war. Took her a lot of effort to find an Elysian that was willing to teach her enough for her to practice on her own. She also loves kickboxing, which supplements her pankration skills.
• Dislikes: Akira has a strong dislike for those that are unsure about themselves. It largely stems from seeing leaders that kept changing their orders and got people killed she knew well.
• Goals: Akira's only real main goal at the moment is to gain the recognition she believes she has earned.

Born originally on Yamatai, Akira and her Nepleslian parents moved to Neplelsia for reasons she was never really curious about. She remained there surviving until she enlisted into the Star Army of Yamatai in YE 23 as a member of the infantry corps. Something her parents were completely against from the start. And for good reasons since she right out of basic training Akira was sent directly to the lines against the Elysians. One of her more memorable events of the war for her was encountering an Elysian Plebian medic. He tried to go straight to hand to hand with her squad, but eventually tripped. Akira knocked him unconscious, tried him up, and left him in some bushes after the squad cleaned up the rest of the Elysians

Even as a simple Santo Hei, she displayed a lot of leadership potential. On more then one occasion she had to take over when either her team leader was either killed or simply froze up. That got the attention from more senior commanders and by the end of the conflict, Akira has moved up to the rank of Nito Heisho.

Akira briefly was discharged from the Star Army of Yamatai, returning back home to Neplesia to take care of her parents. Both had become ill while she was on the war front. Doctors told her there was not much for them to do other then make the two of them comfortable until they died. They died before the onset of the First Mishhuvurthyar War. With no need to be in the chaos of the planet, Akira proceeded back to Yamatai to enlist again once word of the war reached her ears.

Against an alien species that was both alien and strong to her, Akira's natural leadership and skills were constantly put to the test. Despite her attempts to keep her subordinates alive, she would lose more than half her squad in direct assaults against the Mishhuvurthyar. She soon found she had more of a niche for more irregular types of attacks harassing and paralyzing them. Utilizing and training smaller size units within her command, she found it much easier to do things in such a way.

When the Species Restriction Order came down in the later part of the war, Akira immediately got herself transferred into a NH-29 Nekovalkyrja body. One she viewed it as an advantage as she was not capable of doing much now. But the fear of dying the same way her parents had died was also a large driving factor as well. At the end of the First Mishhuvurthyar War, Akira had manged to rise to Santo Juni. But the rank was only a temporary one as she was tapped for officer training to become a Centurion.

Graduating in YE 32 from the Kyoto War College, Akira was tapped to temporarily command the newly commissioned YSS Truth's Vengeance gaining for some unique experience. Once a proper commander was available, she received another temporary reassignment to the YSS Sakura II Plot as an infantry officer. Afterwards, she received orders to various legions leading as a centurion or platoon leader depending on personnel levels allowing someone of her rank to lead as a centurion. Despite her performance, no real promotion opportunities ever presented themselves.

Eventually she grew frustrated and decided to take up a position as an infantry training section leader. At the very least she can supervise the molding of the Star Army's future soldiers.

At YE 39 9月, she received orders assigning her as the infantry wing commander of Task Force Inquistion's flagship, the YSS Orochi. She was not entirely sure the orders were valid initially until she had them verified by PANTHEON. So much for riding it out to retirement. After a stint with Task Force Inquisition, Akira found herself sent over to Legion XX as a centurion once more.

Late YE 41, she returned to training with a transfer to the Zenjinkaze Fighting High School on Yamatai after her graduation from the School of Advanced Infantry Combat. She had successfully striked for one of the limited slots for existing solders of the SAoY. Though she had to take it twice after failing during the fly phrase when she made a critical mistake, resulting in her capture by cadre. A mistake she does not intend to repeat ever again.

In YE 42, she was assigned to the YSS Kanagawa. After a disastrous experience (and returning to tell about it, Akira was assigned to commanding an infantry training unit. Despite all of her effort, she returned back to where she languished for many years. But this time around, she did not remain the same rank as in 2nd month of YE 43 she was promoted to Taii.

Having served since YE 23 with a 6 month break, Akira now questions if she should continue to serve or to simply retire. She after all did have the years required to do it. After a brief stint on the YSS Resurgence, she finally retired in mid-YE 44.

Surrendering her long-time NH-33 body, she returned to her original Nepleslian. It was done largely for three reasons. The first was to allow her to engage in the old Nepleslian traditions of upgrading one's self with cybernetics. The field had greatly developed in the Yamatai Star Empire since she joined.

The other reason was largely to fully close that chapter of her life. Wishing to spend some time wandering the sector, she did not want to deal with the anxiety some people get when they see Nekos. She also did not want to illegally be a Neko if she somehow found another faction worth joining.

She opted to move to Fujiko where she had some distant relatives living. As chaotic the region had been the last year, it seemed like the best opportunity to apply both her skill sets and earn a living as a Security Consultant. While in a bar during the festivities the Nepleslian Reds, Akira was handing a digital copy of something that would be come the Charter of the Nepleslian Reds. Fully supportive and asked to sign it, she became a signatory.

Her Security Consultant gig was upgraded to being the director of a new training program for the FDC's Self Defense Force. Wishing for an advanced infantry unit to handle extremely dangerous criminals, she was brought on to test run Project Titan.

Knowing candidates best learn in multiple environments, she opted to buy a Nuwa and named it ISS Eternity. Part schoolhouse and part exploration ship, she opted to hire a ship captain to free her to focus on training.
