[BCOLOR=transparent]His jaw is slightly sharp, giving a firm shape. His nose is on the smaller side, complimenting almond shaped eyes. His eyes -not only the iris but the entire eye- are a striking electric blue, seeming to flicker with the electricity that runs through his body. Ayato has two ears matching that of his Raiju form atop his head, poking out of his slightly spiky, lightning blonde hair that reaches down past where human ears would be. His long bangs mostly cover his left eye,with a small part so he can see properly. From the top of his jeans are the three tails that match his Raiju form.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]During a thunderstorm, his human form gains more aspects of his true form as a Raiju if he does not change entirely. His canines, which are normally sharper than a humans, grow slightly into almost fangs. The electric blue of his eyes turns cloudier and darker. His form becomes more hunched, using his hands and feet as if all were feet. His body seems to spark with pure electricity, wrapping around him.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Clothes ||[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Ayato has a rather expansive closet from his time as a Raiju in Japan, given how much his kind was respected out of fear of repercussions. Plus he seems to really like clothes. Ayato seems to primarily favor form fitted pants, and rather loose sweaters. No matter what he wears, he always has some kind of long sleeves on - or something covering his wrists like bangles or a watch... even though he cannot tell time using a non-digital watch. Additionally, Ayato seems to like big scarves in the winter, and hoods or hats.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Ayato is a young man who seems to enjoy using the line between confidence and arrogance as a jump-rope. From the respect his kind was given in the past, he has a strong sense of pride and borderlines having a god-complex. What is described as typical of a teenager, he sees himself as indestructible - he’s the representation of lightning and thunder in Japanese mythology, and nothing can harm that… right? Because of these traits, Ayato is incredibly difficult to argue with as he will always believe he is right. Ayato is snarky and always radiating sass, though it’s primarily because it his default state when he does not know how to handle a situation. Ayato seems to get himself into a lot of fights, though generally not on purpose. It likely does not help because he treats it all as a game.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]However, Ayato is also incredibly loyal. Once someone gets close enough to him, it is nearly impossible for them to get rid of him - the only known way being a rather bitter betrayal. He possesses a peculiar, and a little bit of a rude sense of humor that he displays through innuendos, terrible jokes, and a series of whistles or facial expressions. Ayato could be described as a dork on the inside, as he seems to be getting more and more into the rest of the world and it’s pop-culture to the point in which he’ll make weird references at inappropriate times. Ayato is incredibly protective of those around him, especially those who have any kind of Japanese blood in them. He will fight people without a second thought should they make some kind of attack, no matter whether or not an authority is present.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]During thunderstorms, or the hours leading up to a major one, Ayato becomes agitated. He seems in a constant state of being on edge, and anything can set him off. The control of his abilities weakens, an aura of electricity surrounding his frame and shocking anyone who dares to touch him. During the thunderstorm itself, Ayato becomes incredibly violent - he’ll attack anyone who comes close, and destroy whatever is around him as Raiju’s become incredibly agitated when the weather shifts. When the storm passes, expect a tired child who will try to make up for his behavior in some way.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]
[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Ayato has a fairly well-built physical form, given all of the physical activity he has to do while a Raiju. The muscle across his body is completely lean, giving him a slimmer, overall shape. His hips are slender compared to his broader shoulders. Ayato carries himself with confidence and swagger, never hesitating in his steps as he glides across the floor. Hands have long fingers, skin having become thicker from using them to climb and fight often. With a smooth complexion, his skin is soft to the touch - besides his hands and feet.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]His jaw is slightly sharp, giving a firm shape. His nose is on the smaller side, complimenting almond shaped eyes. His eyes -not only the iris but the entire eye- are a striking electric blue, seeming to flicker with the electricity that runs through his body.

[BCOLOR=transparent][BCOLOR=transparent]
[/BCOLOR][/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]In his true Raiju form, Ayato is significantly smaller - being only eighteen inches long with his body. His three tails help to double his length. Every part of him crackles with electricity at all times during this form, but can be dumbed down depending on whether or not he needs to come in contact with another creature. With three pairs of legs and his small body, Ayato can maneuver rather easily throughout his environment and is quite fast. Each pair of paws has small but razor sharp claws.[/BCOLOR]

[BCOLOR=transparent]Biography / History ||[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]Born as the only son of his family, Ayato was treasured by his family. He was to be the one to carry on the family name - to be the example towards all of those around him. It was honestly intimidating to a young child, but at the same time it gave him the sense of power. Even with his elder sister, [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]he [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]was to be the leader. [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]He [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]was the one who would hold power. [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]He [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]would be the one to guide the new age, even if he was years younger than his female counterpart. He was [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]important[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]. To someone who thought himself as inferior to his sister when they started their training together, this was everything. His sister, who had more time than he, was far more talented with her skills in lightning than Ayato. So this was seen almost as a trump card over her. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]When he was old enough to be brought towards the shrine towards the Raijus, his sense of entitlement only seemed to grow as he saw what some did. Some would bring offerings when storm season arrived, in hopes of their homes and land not being touched when the Raijus would inevitably become agitated from the weather. They brought everything from meats to coins to cloths to incense. For days at a time during this season, would Ayato sit just out of sight from the humans and watch as they prayed for their own safety. It was his mother who had to bring him back by the scruff of his neck back to their home as the days to the first major thunderstorm of the season arrived.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Ayato did not remember much from his first major thunderstorm.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]He remembered waking up the next day with his little hoard of offerings in shreds - all the fabrics he found intriguing to all the coins he loved all ripped apart or fried to a crisp. His parents just patted his head and reminded him that it would be something he would learn to control - that more offerings would come soon to replace it. In that moment, he made a decision. Ayato wanted to be awake or at least conscious next time the thunderstorm happened - if he could do this kind of thing to his things… imagine to what he could do to other Raijus who fought him. To anything the believers feared. So he attempted to practice under his father’s metaphorical wing in an attempt to control this state. Progress was slow, and still is - but progress is progress.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]It was when he was wandering around his family’s mountain that he heard about the Academy. Talk of a place where all manner of mythological and magical creatures could go to live in peace or to learn how to control what abilities they could not. It peaked Ayato’s interest. He approached his parents with the offer, and over much deliberation.. It was agreed. If Ayato could make his there way on his own, they would find a way to make sure he could attend.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent] [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]And with time, Ayato made it to the Academy.[/BCOLOR]
