The Biography

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Birth Day: October 27

Arcana: Emperor

Place of Residence: Vista Square

Evoker: Mental Shackles

Academy Semester: 3rd year

Class: (We'll fill this in once you're approved. This will be your class in school)

Sorority: Swim Team

Part/Full Time Job:Lifeguard

Appearance: Axel has black hair and brown eyes, he's lean and has a slightly broader build from his time on the swim team and is of average height. At school, he can be seen wearing his uniform with a loosened collar and unbuttoning the vest if it is warmer outside. Outside of school, if the weather is nice and warm he can usually be seen sporting a T-Shirt and jeans/shorts with the addition of a vest or jacket if it is a bit colder. During the winter season, he sports a black parka with a fur outline around the hood along with a long sleeved shirt or sweater.

Alternate Appearance: When in a dungeon, Axel wears a black trench coat with red highlighting around the trim. Within, he wears a red dress shirt and a black tie. To match the outfit he wears red dress pants with black stripes going down the pant legs finished with a pair of black dress shoes. The mask he wears matches that of his persona, ornate and seemingly made out of stone. However, there does not seem to be an obvious opening for the eyes but he is still able to see with it on.

Personality: Axel likes to present himself as a cheerful spirit with a gung-ho demeanor. It is rare to catch him in a bad mood and he always appears to be full of energy. He enjoys helping others with their problems and is very ambitious when it comes to his studies and extracurriculars. He stands strong in his beliefs but always wants to understand the other side and other viewpoints to help him grow as a person.

However, all this hides what really troubles him in his heart. He has hidden insecurities about his academics and school life. He lives in constant fear of failure and constantly worries about how he appears. Although he likes to project this cheerful personality, he actually lacks self-confidence in his own skills and his ability to succeed. He has a tendency to run away from his problems or ignore them. Due to this lack of confidence, he has an obsession with controlling all aspects of his life or lamenting his ability of not having the foresight to have predicted things to come. This has so far prevented him from growing as a person and enjoying life to its fullest. Although he wants to help others he seldom reaches out and has a hard time vocalizing his issues. He projects the better side of himself as it is who he wants to be and he hopes by pretending to be that he will eventually achieve it in earnest one day.

After Awakening: Within his heart, he has the ability to become the person he strives to be and that comes out when he goes dungeon crawling. Preferring to keep his identity hidden, he feels when he assumes his alternate appearance he has the self-confidence in his own strength to achieve anything and to fight for what he believes in. Although this bravado shatters once he exits the dimension or after experiencing a crushing defeat, he recovers and comes back stronger than before.

The Background

History:

Axel grew up in a reasonably wealthy family, not too much that they were lavished with luxuries but enough so that Axel never had any material wants in his life. However, nothing comes free and his parents had very high expectations for him and his future. With all this at his disposal, there was virtually nothing holding him back from achieving and reaching for success. He developed an inner fear of this responsibility and every failure made him less confident in himself. He learned to hide his insecurities and put on a brave front as he didn't want to worry those closest to him and he didn't know how to properly express these feelings.

When the eternal divide happened Axel lost his father during the catastrophe. Being the main provider for the family, his life changed drastically starting with the move to Endymion. His mother had to get a job in another part of the city and the need for Axel to provide for the family and be successful were greater than ever. There were no well-known schools where his mother worked and as such Axel enrolled in Seven Stars Academy and began living alone in a small condominium flat in Vista Square. There was more pressure on his shoulders than ever and it only worsened the issues he was experiencing already. Moreover, he loathed himself for not being strong enough to help his mother after the divide and being so reliant on the ones around him. His life of bliss was shattered and he had to grow acclimated to a modest life in his new surroundings. He became even more closed off and couldn't build friendships that could last as he couldn't express the deep-seated issues that haunted him.

Currently, he is a 3rd year at Seven Stars academy and has done reasonably well for himself. His grades were always in the As and he was part of the school's swim team. However, he lacked meaningful connections with those around him as he never truly opened up before. As such, he doesn't understand people as well since most of his friendships were superficial and on the surface. Although he never exhibited any potential to be a persona user it was because of the barriers in his own heart that prevented him from realizing his own abilities.
