Character Questions:
1. Who is the person your character is most bonded with from their canon? Or who is someone they miss the most?
*Atsushi Nakajima. Both are heated rivals and share the same teacher. Because Dazai abandoned the Port Mafia and picked up another student, Akutagawa loath Atsushi. Comparing one to another, Atsushi was blessed with fortune: friends, his weretiger skill, and having Dazai's approval. Atsushi is one of the very few able to beat Akutagawa in skill power. While they both grew up in similar circumstances, in abuse nature, they are able to understand one another through co-op missions together or trying to kill each other.

They both came to a neutral agreement for a six-month pass. Akutagawa will use the time to hone his skill and promised his rival he will kill him after the trial date. Atsushi agreed, but in return he will honor the agreement long as Akutagawa doesn't take a life. While Akutagawa despised him, he respected his strength and how he's battling his inner demons (past traumas). During the Decay of Angels arc, Akutagawa saved Atsushi last moment before death. Though they grew up in different environments, they shared similar traumas and abuses from their past, and doing what they believe is true to move on.

2. What are they most afraid of?
*Failure. Being discarded. Akutagawa sees himself as a 'tool' for the Port Mafia. He solemn goal is to be recognized by Dazai and approved by him, to earn his living. Any sign of weakness or lack of strength on Akutagawa's part is no excuse and deemed useless. From the life in the slump to Port Mafia, he was taught strength was everything and the weak fated to die. Thank Dazai for that.

3. What is their weakness? Emotionally, mentally and physically?
*He's short-sighted, mostly focused on what's in front of him than the big picture around him. Again, he sees himself as a tool, someone useful for the criminal organization. He is easily triggered when Dazai is mentioned, a teacher he looks up to, always seeking acknowledgement. He keeps himself distant from people with little contact as possible, he barely has people to call friends with Gin, his sister, closest to him. He acts rogue in certain cases, mostly personal agenda. Because Atsushi is Dazai's new student, he developed a grudge against him, his goal to best him much as possible, and kill him. Akutagawa is pretty good at keeping himself levelheaded when it comes to missions, until certain triggers are mentioned, failure, weak, and Dazai. His failure is a constant reminder life in the slump.

Physically, Akutagawa is surprisingly fit with years' experience in the Port Mafia. His lung disease acts time to time and is incurable. He coughs mostly after using his skill, sometimes blood, holding it in until the job is done. He will go the extra mile to complete a mission, even if it means adding more injuries and nearly breaking himself. From his Rashōmon, when Demonic Armor is used, it adds more muscular fiber around him, boosting his strength, it strains his body in the aftermath.

4. What would make them happiest?
*Getting Dazai's approval, he earned the right to live. Proving he can beat Atsushi and best him. Be the strongest gifted person.

5. What’s their type for a lover?
*Someone gentle who can bare their fangs, their strength measured to his, and hard to kill. Shared similar life hoods. Caring. Can put up with his behavior. Willing to go the extra mile for him. Sympathize.
