appearance

OVERALL- A sort of mousy-looking guy with ruffled, dark brown hair and darker eyes along with a slightly pale complexion, he does look like the sort of guy who would be inside and on a computer 24/7. He's always wearing a pair of half-rimmed glasses, and he is very nearsighted without them.

UNIFORM STYLE- Wears the uniform without the blazer, and is either seen wearing a plain white dress shirt and tie or a safety coat from the bio lab. Otherwise, rarely deviates at all.

CASUAL STYLE: ... Nearly the same. Again, he's nearly always seen with a dress shirt regardless of the weather or formality of the event he's attending, and admits that he really just likes looking his best all the time. In winter, he wears a long, black trench coat over these outfits.

personality

NATURE: Unshakable.

OVERALL: Akira Towa is known locally as an eccentric of sorts and is rarely contacted by others except out of absolute necessity. Which, incidentally, is often- he's the heir to a portion of a giant corporation and is a medical student in the works, along with being the head of the school's most secretive club, which he started last summer.

While he's not the most approachable man on this planet, it's suffice to say that he's a decent person. He'll patch anyone up for free as long as he has the right tools on him, and is very kind to animals (minus cats, he is awfully allergic to them). His sibling is always the first thing on his mind, and he cares deeply for their safety. He has his goals set high, and wishes to attend a high-end university when he graduates and later become a surgeon. Though, some will say that his devotion to medical practice can reach disturbing levels when he's left to his own accord.

Finally, as a Persona-user, he makes for quite the leader. While his pragmatic nature is a little questionable, it's difficult to deny that he makes an efficient and fair leader, though not always the most compassionate or merciful one. He can be a little cruel at times, but don't let that intimidate you: deep-down, he sees each member of the club as a friend and partner to him and just wants everybody to stay safe.

TRAITS:

+ COMPOSED: Super calm, all the time. He's nearly always got that dumb grin plastered to his face regardless of the situation, and it's contagious. He's the sort of person who others turn to in a crisis situation, since he never really loses his cool.

+ INTELLIGENT: Has won over five merit-based scholarships based on academics. He's an extremely smart individual, but he lacks some street knowledge. He admits his main fields are science and mathematics, and he's not great with the written word. His handwriting is illegible to everyone but himself.

+ INFLUENTIAL: High leadership potential. With his calm aura and intellect combined, he makes for a fairly good tactician who can give and take orders at a moment's notice. When he speaks, people tend to listen.

+ POLITE: Super-duper courteous and gentlemanly. While he's not really the touchy-feely type (in fact, he's quite the opposite), he never shirks his niceties and will always make people feel welcomed. His politeness is known to deviate into sarcasm around people he dislikes, though.

+ PRAGMATIC: Always thinks about going from Point A to Point B in the fastest, most efficient way possible. He's good at mandating resources and has an opportunistic thought pattern, but it can be argued that this mindset makes for a better chess player than a tactician ordering actual human partners.

- CONTROLLING: Total control freak. He likes having things his way, and becomes very passive-aggressive when people deny him his strategies and his ways of doing things. He has to learn that there's more than one way to solve a problem, and that his way isn't necessarily always the best.

- OVERCONFIDENT: Combined with that last trait, he tends to get really smug and takes a lot of pride in himself. While it's quiet, he does have a pompous attitude about him and he hates being proven wrong. He gets this obnoxious look when he's right about something. You know the one.

- MACHIAVELLIAN: Tends to make too many sacrifices at the cost of other people. He's clever, but he's not above lying to others about important matters and getting someone hurt in combat to preserve the larger goals at stake.

- CYNICAL: A pessimist (he argues he's a realist). He tends to see the glass half-empty, and while he's not vocal about it, it's often the cause of his extreme measures. He always sees the worst possible result of every situation, and is living his life trying to avert those bad consequences.

- STANDOFFISH: Harder to open than an airtight jar of pickles. He doesn't show a lot of emotion on the surface other than what he wants people to see, and he's definitely aware of this. He rarely answers personal questions directly, and it takes prying to get good info out of him.

LIKES AND DISLIKES:

+ Pulling all-nighters, science, healing people, his sibling, black coffee, dapper clothes.

- Being talked down to, lit class, the dark, Shadows, cats, oxymorons, morons in general.

history

FAMILY:

Kenichi Towa (Father, businessman/inventor at Kirijo Co.)

Shizue Towa (Deceased as of 2 years ago, was a housewife)

Younger Sibling (First-year in High School)

FRIENDS:

OCCUPATION: N/A

CLUB: Newspaper Club

BIO: Akira was born the first child to the eighth known generation of the Towa family. An innovative electronics company working under the name of the Kirijo Conglomerate, it had been the main seller of wares such as radios, televisions, cell phones, and other such electronics. With Kenichi Towa finding efficient ways to harvest and process metals such as silicon, selenium and titanium, they were able to create top-of-the line electronics that created a favorable balance in local economies. While their father, Kenichi, was a brazen man who was barely sick a day in his life, his wife, Shizue, was the opposite case- she had a faulty immune system and was constantly coming down with everything from colds and the flu to rarer illnesses such as tracheal infections and stomach ulcers.

The Towa family became very rich in a very short amount of time. The first half of the children's lives were spent in a fancy beachside mansion on an island coast, with private teachers being flown in to educate. Their mother, Shizue, lived a gentle life as a housewife, but contributed to a good deal of her husband's ideas with research of her own in the medical field. Before retiring and stepping down due to chronic illness, she had been a heart surgeon. Ironically unable to treat her own illnesses no matter what sort of medication she chose to take, she passed away at only 40 years old.

The loss of their mother left a deep mark upon the children, who were already teenagers by this point. Always at home without a parent to speak of due to their father constantly flying to Europe and America on business trips, it was their own decision to head to Okina and start a high school life of their own.

Yet, it was there only a few months ago when they had discovered their immunity to the Dark Hour. Gifted with Evokers from the Kirijo group, they began receiving mysterious letters from a group known as the 'Shadow Operatives' regarding the state of the town. From there on forward, the Newspaper Club became an underground community of those who could stay awake through the Dark Hour- a conglomerate of young adults who periodically eradicated Shadows in order to prevent Apathy Syndrome from spreading further.
