powers nerfed & gained
❆ - superhuman strength: nerfed to the point he couldn't destroy, like, a building in one hit, but even hakuji as a human could punch people's bones apart so good luck!
❆ - self healing: nerfed from instant to delayed 5-10 minutes.
❆ + conditional sunlight immunity: an enchanted anklet that nullifies the harmful effects of sunlight and sun-based magic so long as he is wearing it.

deaths & resurrection prices
none..... YET

other permanent changes
❆ scarring - november 2025: a solid scar the width of his fist at the crux of his ribcage and at the same height on his back, implying impalement. any sensation to this scar, including pain, is shared with kyojuro.


weasel's note: akaza's handwriting is the very sad and choppy scrawl of a man who barely knows how to write. the netbook is just polite enough to make it legible. i just type it in all lowercase bc i'm too lazy to pick out the spelling/handwriting mistakes. thank u for your understanding. i'm having fun now thx

he lives at the inn, the room next to kyojuro's. his window is boarded up from the inside. it is very dark in there. mentitycave

he lives at the soryu dojo south of the river, in koyuki's old room. he offers unarmed self-defense training at the dojo.

[It's unfortunate that Akaza seems to know exactly what Luca is talking about. Maybe, just maybe, it's a start of a beautiful friendship. However, that sense of camaraderie is almost immediately threatened by Luca's need to cause trouble. He is an Aurelius, after all, local gremlins, terrors, and jesters. And boy, does he see a chance to tinkle his bells.

Besides, he's very curious to see if his theory about the two men is right.]

That is good to know. [So Luca wasn't wrong that they shared some sort of bond. Interesting.] Granted, I am not terribly worried about my sibling being in any danger, thanks to him. I do fear, however, that the whole town may regret the two getting to know each other, if she has it her way.

[consider his bells tinkled. akaza looks even more lost than when offered the hand, tilting his head and everything.]

What does that mean? Would she try to hurt him? [the mere thought begins to raise his own hackles once more.]

[unheiring]

[Oh, this is too good. Kiera is sure to kick his ass if they catch wind of it but... He suspects they won't ever. At the very least, it won't be from this guy.]

No more than he would enjoy, I suspect. [But since Akaza seems so lost.] My dear sibling is, ah, something of a harlot. And it has been some time since a man has deigned to glance their way. Unfortunately for them, said men are generally more interested in each other. Your friend, though, seems different.

[bluebasketballed]

[the way he reddens and poofs up like a cat.]

That -- [FUCK you, his voice didn't crack] -- is none of my concern! It isn't my business who he -- [he's going to implode.

he snarls, even though it's for show and not actively malicious. yet.]

Don't talk to me about this.

[unheiring]

Of course it isn't. I did not mean to imply as much.

[Though he can tell that Akaza isn't outright lashing out, he isn't about to push any further. He has his answers. And now he has gossip for Ain, later. It's been awhile since they've been able to dish together. The poor guy probably needs the distraction.

With a light smile, Luca takes a step back, shrugging away the topic.]

Anyway. If there is anything you do find you are able to eat, let me know. I will gladly try to keep it stocked for you. Within reason of course.

[bluebasketballed]

[if luca appears to be backing off, akaza will begin to close the door. this has long passed his comfort level.]

Nothing you can offer, I'm sure.

[unheiring]

A shame. All the same, you are welcome to join us, should you ever find you are able to tolerate the scent.

[Aaand a gay little wave. Again.]

Have a good night, Ser Akaza.

[bluebasketballed]

Just Akaza, Luca. [akaza doesn't do formalities or titles.

also, what is wrong with that man. he's a little... 🍎🍊🍇]

[unheiring]

Understood, Ser Akaza!

[He dips around the corner before he can get impaled, thanks.]

[bluebasketballed]

[there's just an indignant snarl before the door slams. little fucker.]
