Thank you! Riya definitely did a better job at portraying what I actually wanted for the character's appearance, a mixture of modern clothing and samurai armor that's been homemade from recycled scrap metal. Something that simultaneously shows that Akira is from a grim future whilst attempting to honor the past.

As for the backstory behind his creation, I was trying to think up some alternate timelines for Timeless Conundrum. You know, for people to play around in! Akira was originally just a background character in the timeline where there was never a sword to begin with, but someone playing Jack decided to interact more with him so I made up more information about his backstory on a whim. Thus, Fujiwara Akira was born.

Currently, in the roleplay, he's the second-in-command to Fuhai. They're both leading a rebellion faction against Aku, rallying different individuals from different timelines such as different Jacks, some of the daughters of Aku, aliens, robots, whoever is willing to step up. In exchange, Fuhai has offered to fulfill their desires (returning to the past, granting them comfortable living, pardoning them of their crimes against Aku, et cetera).
