It's April 24 and she was declared dead when a video was released to the public depicting her death scene and another warning from Akishic ZERO to the people which sparked their curiosity and fear.
A teenaged hacker from Port Island, Mishura Akira, comes to Ashigawa because of the call of the famous programmer, IGOR. He finds himself tasked with fighting Akishic ZERO after IGOR introduces him to the concept of Persona, egoes of the human psyche utilized as weapons against beings called Shadows which are said egoes that have gone rogue. IGOR also enlists the help of several other teenagers with the hidden talent to summon Persona from Ashigawa Academy to face the kidnappers in battle across the Computer Network. The only way to truly go against Akishic is the use of the Velvet COMP, a computer system that monitors the Network for anomalies caused by Akishic ZERO and allows IGOR's Chosen to traverse the network and it's regions created by the thoughts and feelings of thos kidnapped. IGOR has set the stage to begin the Fool's Journey. The kids have the decision as to whether to take up their destiny and save those taken or falter and have lives be lost in vain.
Persona/Shadow Concept
The human psyche bears an ego. That ego is a facet that shows a person's true emotions and feelings. If one accepts that piece of hisself/herself, then that ego becomes a Persona who's powers are that person's to command. However, if the ego is rejected by the person completely, then it becomes something malicious known as a Shadow which is essentially an out of control Persona that remains that way until it can be suppressed. The Akishic ZERO members are unable to control their Persona and thus bear Shadows that are only under their control to a small degree. The power to use Persona is bestowed by IGOR, but any use of the power otherwise such as the Akishic's is forced and therefore difficult to handle.

In the Network, Akira wears a black slim armor covering every part of his body except for his head. His legs are wrapped in armor pieces placed in a way as if segmented downwards and he wears crimson red boots mostly covered by the leg armor only showing his feet. His arms resemble his legs however they angle upwards and his shoulders are covered by a series of gears. Akira's hands are black gauntlets with red pentagrams of the Satanistic origin.
Arcana: Fool
Persona:
Musashi - Akira's intial Persona is a a lean, tall samurai made purely of darkness with imposing yellow eyes. Musashi's outfit with a main black armor and red grooves etched in a pattern forming a pentagram like its user's across it's arms and chest. The samurai doesn't wear a helmet and the darkness that is supposedly his hair stretches halfway down his back. On his hips are two sheathes, one each holding two katana.
Ultimate Persona will be revealed later
Weapon(s): Shiden - Akira's digitized katana bearing a transculent type of blade kept visible by loose bandages. The handle is red and on it is the kanji for Mishura. The blade is kept in a black sheath on the back of Akira's armor.
Other Weapon will be revealed in time
Personality: Akira is an extremely stoic person who is generally unable to keep friends for extended periods of time. This mentality has molded him into the type of person who keeps to himself. However, he does care for somethings in life most especially when danger looms over things and people he holds dear. Without hesitation, he stays in Ashigawa with a newfound sense of righteousness to try and save Akishic's victims. Akira, however, tries to mask this desire to help people by keeping a cruel demeanor to those around him, most especially his allies.
Bio: Akira was born in the city of Port Island and grew up as an orphan. His parents died mysteriously on January 31 and the police ruled it out as murder. He went about his life falling into a rough crowd that hung out behind the station. He soon became interested in the workings of computers and tested his intelligence by hacking past firewalls of many systems including banks, federal vaults, and big name companies. His work was wide known but it could never be traced by the police. By time he was sixteen, Akira felt it was time to leave Port Island especially when he received an e-mail from the infamous hacker, IGOR. The e-mail brought him straight to Ashigawa City to find out what was really going on. Despite already being a high school graduate in his own right, Akira decided to enter himself as a student in the academy to find the rest of his allies.
