Akane Ryuunosuke

Akane Ryuunosuke is a nonbinary Hunter-in-training. They were a member of Team TPAZ, partnered with Pembe İpek.

After the Fall of Beacon, Akane went with their sister Fuyu to her team's Vacuo home, to rest after the battle. (More detail to be determined)

Appearance
Akane was born male, so their appearance looks slightly masculine. Their skin is fair, with high cheekbones and hazel-shaped eyes. They dyed their hair red before going to Beacon, and it is about shoulder length with choppy bangs.

Personality
Akane is a real hotshot - skilled, and they know it. They take pride in learning how to be a Hunter, and love the thrill of it. Still, they try their best not to be too bigheaded. Confident, but not arrogant.

They're spirited and fiery, standing up for what they believe in and never going down without a fight. They have a very forward approach, though. Someone's being racist or homophobic? Akane will call them out instantly.

Due to their own experiences of being discriminated against, Akane tries their best to be as welcoming and accepting of others as they can. They never want to judge, and want to be a shoulder to cry on. They're someone you can console in and can trust to have your back.

Backstory
WIP
 * Family was extremely homophobic/transphobic
 * Akane's sister Fuyu discovered her bisexuality, was kicked out and went to Beacon
 * Akane eventually found out their own identity at age 15, hid it from their parents and came out to their sister
 * Eventually, once Fuyu graduated with her team, Team SFUR, she invited Akane to move in with them, giving Akane a new family
 * Akane trained with SFUR and decided to follow in his sister's steps and go to Beacon.

Post-Fall of Beacon
WIP

Family

 * Akane does not have a good relationship with their parents (names TBA), who were cruel both to them and their sister for what they identified as. Akane hasn't contacted them at all since moving in with SFUR.
 * Fuyu is Akane's sister, and the only blood relative that they still speak to.

Team

 * Tsiuri
 * Pembe
 * Zurina

Others

 * Team SFUR, Fuyu's team, is more or less Akane's family. After graduating and getting their own place in Vacuo, the team invited Akane to live with them, and since then, they've been happy.

Weapon
(WIP)

Semblance
Akane's Semblance is called (TBA). It allows them to heat up the earth below her, and can reach up to ten feet away. The ground below their enemies' feet would be significantly hotter, burning them. However, while this does not affect Akane, it does affect her allies, meaning that they have to be quite careful. Another flaw of this skill is that it spreads in a circular area around them, and cannot be changed from that area.

Trivia

 * Akane means "deep red" in Japanese.
 * Ryuunosuke comes from kanji meaning "dragon" and "herald".
 * Akane and Fuyu's experiences are based on some LGBT+ community members' stories. As a member of that community I wanted to make characters here to show off those experiences.
 * Their Semblance was recycled from a long-discarded OC.
