Basic Info
Name: Akuma
Nickname: Gouki / Demon
Gender: Make
Age: 30s
Clan:

Looks: Akuma usually wears a dark-colored gi; it is often black or gray, but varies depending on the state of mind he has. He has red hair, sharp, pointed teeth, and is often bare-footed, though sometimes prefers wearing brown sandals. He is often seen with a black belt on his gi around the waist. He has tanned skin and crimson eyes, and wears his deceased master Goutetsu's prayer beads around his neck, with a visible black "heaven" (天) kanji on the center bead.This kanji is featured frequently in Akuma's appearances, most often when he turns his back on his dead opponent, where it burns itself onto the back of Akuma's gi top.

Personality: Akuma is a cold and extremely powerful warrior whose sole reason for being is to hone his fighting skills by battling and destroying strong foes. He rarely displays any sign of emotions, aside from occasional bursts of anger, and rarely smiles. He takes his training very seriously and deals brutally with those who dare interrupt him, as seen in his most recent village, Kirigakure. Occasionally, he likes to test himself against worthy rivals . Akuma often refers to himself as a "denizen of hell" and "evil incarnate", and is seen as such by many. This may be a result of the murders and evil deeds taking a toll on his mind.In line with his martial arts philosophy, Akuma also believes in a certain principle of self-worth. Specifically, Akuma despises hubris (i.e. a perceived excess of self-worth), foolish behavior, and those who rely on means other than their fists to fight or gain power (both of which would indicate a lack of the same). He is also somewhat nihilistic by principle, as his search for worthy opponents often includes someone who would be able to kill him.

Most of the time, Akuma abides by the code of the warrior. He fights to improve his skills and defeat powerful foes - though on rare occasion, he does so to gauge the other's abilities. Although he killed his teacher and believed he did the same with his brother (Gouken), Akuma did so in combat, and thus can be said to have not transgressed on his principles.In combat, Akuma almost never resorts to his true strength, especially if testing another fighter; he only fights warriors that he deems worthy, or the ones he believes have the potential to become such.

Background Info
History: Akuma and his brother Gouken were students of Goutetsu. Goutetsu taught a various forms of Ninjutsu and Martial arts, which incorporates elements of Karate, Judo, and Kempo, and elemental Ninjutsu. He also taught the Kenjutsu and Genjutsu , a lethal genre of ninjutsu which, was in harmony with other forms.As the brothers progressed under Goutetsu's tutelage, a dispute arose on the true nature of their fighting style and the path to master it. Gouken, unable to accept the violent nature, left Goutetsu to begin his own dojo, which Goutetsu did not oppose. Akuma continued Goutetsu's teachings, and vowed to use their fighting style as it was intended.In order to perfect his killing arts, Akuma embraced the principle of Killing Intent, and was forced to give up any compassion he held towards other human beings. In addition, Akuma realized his limits as a martial artist could be expanded, and left Goutetsu's guidance of enlightenment to train alone to gain more power. However, due to embracing the killing arts to its fullest extent, he developed a lust to fight to the death, unlike Goutetsu, who had been able to use the techniques without giving in to its dark side.After coming back from his island, Akuma went back to Goutetsu, and fought him in a death match to prove that he had surpassed him. Akuma killed his master with the same techniques taught by his master, who died happy to see his student surpass him, and Akuma, believing that he was the true master of the Art, took the prayer beads of his dead master and placed it on his neck. Gouken came to visit his former master to see how he was doing, only to find his lifeless body and his brother, now no longer human. Gouken, shocked to see that his younger brother took the life of their master, berated Akuma, who said nothing and left for the woods.

Many years later, Akuma fought Gouken, while the then-young duo of Ryu and Ken watched. Akuma told Gouken that he was not strong enough to face him without giving in the killing intent; Gouken retorted that the art was much more than just death and destruction, accusing Akuma of dishonoring their master's name. Akuma told his brother that Goutetsu did not truly understand the art, and that he was a fool for not using it to its fullest extent. The fight continued, and Gouken won. Akuma told his brother to kill him, but Gouken had no intention of murdering his own kin, prompting Akuma to call him weak for sparing the life of a strong opponent and declare that he would return.A couple of years later, Akuma came back to Gouken's dojo and fought him in battle. Akuma believed him dead, not knowing that Gouken had somehow lived through the attack by emptying his soul, and was only in a coma. Ken saw the flash of the attack while running to the dojo, but arrived only to find Gouken on the floor. Knowing who was behind this, Ken confronted Akuma in the woods and fought him, only to be defeated. After defeating Ken, Akuma disappeared without a trace.
