DESCRIPTION:
→ Eyes a dark reddish brown color, Ran is quite a sight. Ran has hair long and black. → He dies his hair black, he's actually an albino. The bangs and upper half of his hair is rather choppy and sort of messy. His bangs fall all over the leftt side of his face, covering the tattoo that curls up around his left eye. The dark black tattoo as well designs the left side of his torso and his right arm, swirling and twisting all the way down to the outer of his left thigh. His skin is pale. Almost always his hair is pulled back in a ponytail that rests on his shoulder. Or he has his hair cut short. An oriental piece keeps his hair pinned with a golden stick and circles on either side. The red hair piece as well having golden and scarlet designs upon it. Around his neck sits a red collar trimmed and gold with a sort of tassel hanging off in the middle, leading to his defined collarbone.

His body is well-toned and built strong, obviously he works out, but not over powering so it leaves him looking as a strong young man. Over his left shoulder is the three scars from the bear assault when he was younger as well as the one that sits cheek to cheek over his nose. His stomach is bandaged with a large red top over his arms and most of his torso. It sort of clings and leaves his pecs unhidden. A blade is sheathed to his back with an intricate belt and red tassels upon it to match. On his legs he wears baggy red pants that cut off below the knees and are tied up with a black belt to hug around his waist. Traditional samurai sandals compliment his feet with no tabi socks beneath, just his bare toes.

PERSONALITY:
→ Ran is by definition an asshole. He loves to be mean, kick people in the ass while they're down and often uses most men and women to his own advantage. He's the kind of free spirit that doesn't seem like he would ever settle down. He constantly seems to get on people's nerves and does so on purpose. Blatantly, he disregards what most people say is good and righteous and throws it out the window to get laid instead. He seems like the kind of douchebag most women would complain about. Often seen with a woman on each arm, the cheesy charm he often puts on is false and created only to get what he wants. Though he seems to show no regrets in his actions, there are a few people he takes a 'liking' to and will treat them like a friend should. For his friends Ran would do nearly anything for his friends.

Ran is type of guy that makes everything seem like it's a pain in his ass. He hates to work, hates to do anything more than party, drink and flirt. He's oddly passionate about flirting and once he puts his sight on a person, he does not back down so easily. He's very demanding and quite often seen as the lazy asshole who does nothing or the bossy jerk who doesn't know what he talks about. Ran is a bit of a loner. Due to his pride, he doesn’t like to accept help from anyone and in times he will get mad if someone offers him help. As if feeling insulted. His ego is as large as some might say possible as he sees himself as perfect at times and does not need to be assisted. Nevertheless, in his eyes, Ran is always right. When he makes a wrong decision, it's often left as unaddressed and he will seem as if it never happened. He pushes on, not looking back on the failure.

Ran is incredibly defensive. When people are against him, he doesn't hesitate to attack or say something rather asinine. He's crude, rude and lewd and not normally the guy people are friends with. In fact he's a guy who seems to be avoided by most men though his odd charm attracts the oddest of friends. He's a quick-tempered man and it's easy to get on his bad side. It is likely for Ran to throw something like tantrums when he doesn't get his way.

Lazy and the definition of is in his very make up. Ran is a lackadaisical man who is often unmotivated to do anything he should. Though he will get his work done, he tends to procrastinate for hours un-end before he even touches his stacks of paperwork. Often found playing hookie, he is a man who dodges responsibility. Due to incidents with his little brother, Ran is easily annoyed by little kids. He gets frustrated as he has no patience and refuses to deal with them. Because of such, Ran takes extra precautions just to make sure he can avoid children. Even though he has issues with his little brother, Ran will always make time for Tas. Though he may seem annoyed about it, he actually loves his little brother. He's not very good at showing his affection for the people he cares about. SO essentially, he bullies the people he likes by teasing them or making them seem like a hassle.

Ran is a person who keeps his real feelings to himself. He doesn't talk much about himself and normally pursues more about his potential fling than he ever speaks of himself. Alone, Ran shows his more sensitive side, like the fact he likes to write poetry and is very upset by the fact he can't cook. As well, his hobby or one of them is that he gardens.

LOVE:
→ Woman, loitering, artwork, turtles, anything with peanut butter, good sex, flirting, gardening, poetry

HATE:
→ Shrimp, kids, Shopping, cooking, dolls, doing work, being seen as a woman, vandalism, abuse of power

DEEPEST SECRET:
→ He's bisexual

IDOL:
→ N/a

...........................................................................

HISTORY:
→ Born an older son of the Akiyama family, Ran was the family title holder. This left Ran in high expectations from the day he was born. Being the namesake was not something easy to uphold. Though most problems didn't hit until he was three, where the real training had started. His world was thrust into balance. He had to have manners, he had to read the world around him was crazy and full of law. Serious structure that made his childhood not much of a childhood. He could only play with certain friends, talk to certain people and though it was common for most children, he had a bed time that he wasn't allowed a minute past. He was strictly on schedule and even once he started school the training didn't stop.

He met a few kids at his school, teaching a lot of what normal kids learned while he started his raise in his growing aspirations. Not much spare time he ever had. After all, most of his days were spent balancing the trainings his family had and the hobbies of ceremonies were traditional use. His main practice started around second grade when he began kendo. Practicing with wooden swords in the way of fighting. A traditional form of sparring and practicing. It was something fun and entertaining that amused him. His studies and hard work never really paid off. Ran wasn't the brightest and even with all the extra work he often looked like a dumbass. He could barely pass some of the simpler tests.

After his brother came into the picture, Ran flew off the handles. Jealous that he was no longer the center of attention, Ran decided to do his own thing. He became a kind of delinquent. Hanging around bad kids, he started smoking and drinking (to get drunk) at a young age. He went to parties and generally did the wild stuff he shouldn't, short of actual crime. It was odd that he found his parents didn't notice much. They were too obsessed with worry about his little brother, Tas and whether the young boy would be able to make it through the world with an IQ that seemed to be equal to a toothbrush. It enraged the boy to know his brother was an idiot and yet got all the attention.

Even at the point when Ran started trying in school again, he couldn't find their attention. It felt as if the only person he had, was his best friend. The two were inseparable and as Ran reached his high school years, it became more obvious. Unfortunately once Ran became 18, he went off and ran away from his family, not saying a word to anyone. His vanishing led him to a trip to a forest where he ended up in a fight with a bear, which made him lose terribly. His body was a bloody mess and if it weren't for a kind old man, Ran would have died. Lucky for him, the man HAD been there and brought the young man to his house. His new friend, a hermit, was kind and taught Ran sword fighting (having been an ex-veteran). It was a tough time and Ran found himself reading up on plants and animals and even more, he learned about alchemy.

The next two years were ones that gave Ran a new understanding in life, however his friend's brutish nature rubbed off on him. Ran was a bit more of a cold person, a bit more impersonal but altogether he was the same Ranmaru. The exception; a tattoo that curved up the whole of his right side as a momentum from his drunk hermit friend. Oddly enough, Ran still wanted to drink.

His first objective when he returned was finding Kaede. It took a while to regain his friend's good side once again, but as friends do, they became best of friends again. Ran followed his own goals. What exactly they were, was an unclear thought for even him. He met a woman and fell in love. However, one day when he came home to talk to her, she was gone. Ran was broken hearted and after that he became less serious about life. It took him a long time to get over the woman, but with Kaede's help, he managed to pull through. His heart may have been in stitches, but at least he was alive.

In the following years, Ran simply tailed around with Kaede. Not having much of a goal of his own. He joined the Aerugese military and showed his skills of being a slacker. After so many years of working, he retained the same rank, just more experience. Ran never really pursued a higher rank and more or less just kind of lazed his way through the world. His spare time spent gardening, poetry or picking up women. Nothing he could find serious. Instead he just sort of remained in a state of stasis, not trying too much to do anything.
