Akira

Face-up artist(s):

maiya

Tattoo artist(s):

Dybbuk (nape) / hane (arms)

Date of acquisition:

2016

Provenance:

Iplehouse

Reason for choice:

A few weeks ago I had asked Iplehouse if I could get a JID Asa head on the boy body via CDS with the knowledge that the head might not fit perfectly fine. I was told that was not possible which okay, no biggie it was worth asking.

Fast forward at the end of March when I was on Iple’s website again to look at the new KID Paige and saw one of their auction dolls at the end of the site – a JID Asa dressed boyish. “Oh”, I thought: “let’s look if she maybe has a small bust so I could snatch her up, pad her a bit and pass her off as a dude!”. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a ‘real’ boy aka JID Asa girl head on JID boy body. You know, the same combo Iple told me was not possible (haha). In Real Skin which was my top choice for him to round the whole WTF-moment off.

Worst Points:

The JID body poses like a brick

Eyes:

Taobao

Wig:

Angelheim Luka the Pan fullset wig

Favourite colours:

Red / Orange / Yellow

Key fashion accessory:

Samurai Armor

Name story:

He was actually named Arturo for the longest time but I never really fell for the name so when it came to shelling him as a doll I ended up looking for a better name - Akira means 'bright' which kinda fits with the whole fire demon theme (cause fire is bright, you know /gets bricked)

Character gender:

male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

After the death of his father, Akira was promoted as head of Moskaw’s army by Arundel, High King of Moskaw. He is loyal to fault and has the love and loyalty of his subordinates because he has a reputation of being just. His life, apart from the brief stint with Jeromé and the near-beheading of his employer, is going in strictly wrregulated paths until Khaled is born. Since Arundel has no interest in his son even going so far as to actively shun him, the child ends up with Akira more often than not who does his best to alleviate the abuse and neglect the boy is put through. Khaled refers to him as the only real father he ever had and even makes him Kimete’s godfather.

After Khaled’s flight and the ban Arundel put on his son’s name in Moskaw Akira spends the next centuries grudgingly working in his old position till he snapped, gave Arundel a piece of his mind and went on to search Khaled to see if his charge was actually save now. Since a whole contigent of bloodhunters had spent years before him searching for Khaled to no avail, working as a mercenary for hire and making a new name for himself – no longer Akira of Moskaw he was now more referred to as Akira the Avenger.

He eventually stumbled over Pazuzu’s lair (and subsequently over Khaled) and signed up as her general after Jeromé, who had been with her since a while, convinced him of the merits of this plan (en detail, in bed probably).
