INFO
NAME: Aku
ALIASES: Master of Darkness, Shogun of Sorrow, Emperor of Evil, Deliverer of Darkness, etc.
CANON: Samurai Jack
CANON POINT: negotiable; default between season 4 and season 5 or pre-finale
SPECIES: ???
ORIGIN: Primordial space
OCCUPATION: Self-appointed overlord of Earth
BACKSTORY: Aku is a cosmic-horror type entity that originated in outer space billions of years ago. He fell to Earth (by accident) and was given sentience (by accident) when a human used magic in an effort to banish his darkness from the land. He is made of a fluid-like substance that can take many forms and regenerate when damaged. Though he has no connection with Hell, he looks Satan-y enough to be referred to as a demon. Aku has many god-like powers and has ruled his Earth for centuries unopposed. Yes, his eyebrows are onfleekfire.
POWERS: Aku has MANY powers but he is best known for shape-shifting and incendiary abilities. He can take any form he pleases, typically organic in nature and following his color scheme.
WEAKNESSES: Magical powers or weapons, specifically those that are divine or crafted from light/purity/righteousness.
PERMISSIONS
BACKTAGGING: yes
FOURTHWALLING: memes ✔, games ✘
THREADJACKING: yes for network threads, logs—ask first
PLAYER CONTACT: PM or private plurk
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Possible graphic depictions of violence. possible mentions of conquest, torture and enslavement in dialogue or meta.
FORMAT: Prose is my default but I will match formatting.
SPEED: I usually manage one or two responses in a day when my schedule permits it. I try not to take longer than a few days.
PHYSICAL CONTACT: Acceptable but he may be grumpy
FIGHTING / KILLING: Fighting—yes, but please take into account that Aku with his powers un-nerfed is very powerful. if your character is an average human, I strongly advise against them picking a fist-fight with him without a plan. Contact me before killing.
MATURE THEMES: Okay with most subjects. Do not expect Aku to be sensitive about your tragic backstory. I prefer to stay away from topics like rape or sexual abuse.
TELEPATHY / EMPATHY: Characters are welcome to sense that Aku is a magical, dark and otherworldly entity but unless we've discussed otherwise (or you're in @empatheias), they will not be able to read his mind. His thoughts will be perceived as a jumble of distorted darkness and light from the cosmos. Sensitive characters may also hear or sense a deep droning sound in his presence.
