For armor, he wears a deep red and gray breastplate.
History: Aksel was always busy since his family owned a farm which supplied Vale and a number of other kingdoms.He never got to experience what is was like to just relax and do something he personally enjoyed. Aksel is the eldest boy in his family meaning he was the prime example for his younger siblings Rhory, Tzuriel, Auriel, and, Drue. Hobbies were only permitted if they pertained to academics. For a long time, Aksel wanted to learn the piano, but never got any formal training. He ended up teaching himself how to play. This became one of the many secrets he hid from his parents because he'd use his homework time to sneak into the basement to play the old piano. Only his sisters know the secret and do their best to cover for him.
It was easy to say Aksel’s relationship with his parents was a bit strange. He could hold a better relationship with his father than his mother for many reasons. One of them was that he supported Aksel’s decision to attended signal academy when he turned 15 but his mother did not. In her eyes, Aksel was too naïve to be a hunter. Said that his book smarts could get him farther in life. It can be assumed that she is jealous of her son because he was able to be bold and do things without caring if his family supported him. With his sibling, Aksel got along with them fine. Often the eldest sister Aleksa would baby him by referring to him as her
pure bread princess which is a long time running joke that Aksel is very dainty even though he is known to handle the harsher jobs on the farm. His little brothers are a bit hesitant to follow Aksel’s lead because of his too carefree attitude. They felt that it was too dangerous to think that way. His Aunt Korra played a heavy role in his life. While his mother refused to pay to send Aksel to Signal Academy, his Aunt was more than willing to help. She gave him money along with giving him a weapon to use.
School life only lasted until he was 12 years old. There was a staff shortage at the farm. To make up for the shortage Aksel was moved to home studies. In the time, he was in traditional school Aksel was known to be the know-it-all in class because he always caught mistakes made by the teacher. His grades always stayed above 90%. If they faltered below Aksel would be punished by his mother giving him the worst jobs on the farm. In class, other students learned that Aksel would believe anything he heard. They began to tell him ridiculous things when it came to homework assignments often leading him to do the wrong questions and fail tests.
Aksel very much enjoyed his time at Signal Academy because he never felt that he had to try and make people like him. He managed to graduate, but when it came time to take the Beacon entrance exam Aksel struggled.
Personality:Aksel is a rather relaxed person and often seen as high strung upon first meeting. When he has come to know someone, he shows a much more playful side. Aksel is also noted to be very stubborn and hot headed. He sometimes is seen to be soft hearted causing him to be gullible and getting himself stuck in bad situations. With his teammates, Aksel likes to be supportive in any way he can. It can tend to get annoying since he lacks the understanding that being supportive is not always what his team needs in sense of emotional issues. Aksel is little to never aggressive with people. Sometimes his older sibling syndrome, kick in and he will sacrifice sleep, time, energy for his team and or friends.
Aksel has always done well academically, his grades never falter passed 90%, however, he sometimes gives off that dumb farm boy vibe because of some of the questions he asks. He tries his best to be as organized as possible in anything and everything he does.
Aksel has a talent for playing the piano and sharp shooting
Aura and Semblance: Aura color is crimson red
His Semblance allows him to cover his sniper’s bullets in aura and charge the shot to deal a heavy amount of damage. Aksel is limited to using this ability because it lowers his aura by 2% with every use. The bullets damage is enhanced by 10%. To charge each shot it takes Askel 5 seconds. The bullet can only last 20 seconds with the charge before it goes away and will need to be recharged again. If Aksel recharges a bullet, it cannot use any aura remaining in it as an extra. It will never overcharge, nor can it be undercharged. If any of this occurs the bullet will crack.
Combat Behavior: Aksel is relatively quiet when it comes to his objectives in battle. He prefers to stay well-hidden and out of sight. His strong suit is landing critical hits on Grim when using his sniper rifle. Aksel is by no means skilled in hand to hand combat and has poor skills in handling melee weapons. When it comes to targets that are not Grimm Aksel struggles to shoot at the appropriate time. He reacts quickly to finding his marks and moving around when he needs to reposition. Aksel can also easily read the environment giving him the upper hand to the best hiding spots. Sometimes he has trigger finger making him waste bullets and almost harming his teammates.
