Personality
A Lion-Hearted Fool
Akil is quick to flash a smile, laugh at a dumb joke. He is know for having a very thoughtful gaze, he thinks about so many things in a day he can never recount his own musings by the end of the day because he can't remember most of them. He has a calming temperament, can be seen as welcoming personality by the way he can just sit and listen for hours without saying nothing at all. He can retain little details about someone, even if they only mention it once in passing. Picks out the best birthday gifts and alcohols for parties. Can pick out good outfits for his girl if she doesn't feel like doing it. The simple little stuff. But there is so much more in his head.
Everyday things can seem sacred to him, like listening to music or hearing the voice of someone he cares about. Not only does he get to appreciate the sound the music makes, but also the color the sound has. A single song can paint a masterpiece due to a neurological gift called synesthesia where sounds translate to colors before his eyes. Someone's voice can be like their own special aura due to the color he'll see. He loves this gift. His mind is a gift, he can sit and study something in his hands and be able to draw an entire diagram of how it works by simply looking at it for a few minutes. He is a technical whiz. But with all this, it is almost as if he is getting punished for the gifts he has. He has been plagued by migranes since he was a child, his ears become more sensitive and sounds that once held such a beautiful hue become more painful than euphoric. He can become overstimulated by his surroundings easy. And unfortunately, on top of it all, he has Depersonalization Disorder, which causes him to step out and away from the beauty he enjoys around him so much. It's a lot like torture, luckily he has someone who pulls him back to the ground.
Due to years of abuse for their appearance and religion, Akil's parents taught him a certain disregard for authority. Trust his instincts, don't let someone control him, don't let any man tell him he isn't good because of his heritage. And when his parents were killed because of a hate crime, it sent him into a spiral. He grew a hatred inside him for the government, or so the people he solely blamed for his parents' abuse, he became frightened and angered at the government. Due to another outside source (Micha) whispering into his ear, he believes a complete dismantle is in order and that the way to do it, is online. Where the money and secrets and violence is all tucked away and kept secret. He had always been good at computers, and had hacked his way through more than one government facility, he had the power at his fingertips to cause a fresh start. From the ashes would rise something better... Right?
Where it all comes back is that the two most important people in his life are complete opposites. Alexis is his calm, his peace, and his home, while Micha is his war, his hate, and his fear. He is in a constant struggle with Micha about 'the proper way', but what is the proper way? He didn't know. He doesn't know. And with so much happening all at once for the young twenty something, he finds himself constantly lost.
Employment : Store Manager At A Coffee Shop
Pretty standard things. Make coffee, make sure the bills get paid for the shop, make sure payroll gets done. He likes the job for the simplicity of it, but also because it helps keeps his mind preoccupied with minimal tasks.
