Character Description and History: Akiri stands a little over 6 foot tall, and has the build to match. He has shoulder length black hair that curls a little at the end. When he is battling he likes to keep it tied back, not wanting anything to impede his vision, but when he’s out of battle he lets it flow free. He has almond colored eyes, a rather prominent nose, and a damned near permanent smile.

Akiri wears a pair of black pants, a black shirt, and a black Fedora with a feather sticking out the top. He wears a silver necklace with a pendent of a shadow fox, his favorite zoid. He has a large scar on his back from when he was a child, and a scar on his arm.

Akiri is was born in Delphoi, his parents names were Alexis Mara and Kyu Mara, and were both Zoid pilots. Both of them piloted a shadow fox, and were rising in popularity, and were working towards securing a large sum of money for their son to live happily and comfortably, but disaster struck. One day during a zoid battle both of his parents were killed when their Zoids were hit in the cockpit by a powerful Zoid.

Akiri knows little of the Zoid, but vowed to track it down if it still lives; this is why he decided to become a Zoid pilot. His decision as to which Zoid he would use was easy enough, he wanted to go the route his parents did and go with a shadow fox, his and his parent’s favorite zoid. He took what money his parents had and bought himself a shadow fox, and spent months training in how it worked and fixing it up by working odd jobs as a delivery boy for his uncle. Eventually he had everything he needed to join in on Zoid battles, and decided he wanted to join a team, hoping that eventually he would come across the Zoid that killed his parents, so his journey begins.
