Name: Akira Ibarazaki/Maeve
Age: 24
Gender: Male/Female
Race: Human/Mirage
Sex: Male/Female
Appearance:
Akira:
-Casual: He is a rather tall man, standing at 6'2''. Akira has a slender, but lightly-muscled build, hidden by his usually stylish clothing; this originates from his being the performer of his own stunts on the show. However, his usual dress being a white blouse, a black vest and ribbon on black trousers and fine-looking brand loafers -all bespoke-, he can often be mistaken for a slender, flat-chested woman in what appears to be butler's clothing. The fact that his voice is rather light for a man (and almost indistinguishable from a deep woman's voice) and that his looks are rather feminine, with long blonde hair and dewy blue eyes behind thin-rimmed glasses, do not help this at all. He can easily be mistaken for a foreigner not from Japan, inheriting more of his looks from his Finnish mother than his father, and always comes off as taking good care of his appearance.

-Yokai Senshi Koga: Akira looks barely any different in his role as the eponymous Yokai Senshi. Instead of his usual refined and stylish wear, he wears a white longcoat with a jet-black, ornate chestplate; not a real piece of armor, of course, but one made for the show's purposes. He also wears light black trousers with metal boots locked in with silver clamps. His blonde hair is tied up in a ponytail to accentuate his slender look and recall the samurai of old. Akira rarely wears different clothing on the show and on stage show appearances, but then again he always makes it work somehow. The clothes are good for actual combat; Akira does many fights on the show while untransformed and does his own stunts. His outfit also comes with a fake sword mounted in a well-made scabbard, though the sword is useless for any actual fighting and is just a prop.

-Maeve: Maeve stands just as tall as Akira does, with a curvaceous, feminine frame most idols would kill for. Most of her body is covered by shimmering translucent black cloth extending over her forearms, groin, hips and torso, leaving her shoulders and back uncovered and her chest protected by an ornate, gold-rimmed metal plate, contrasting the pale white skin underneath. Her long black hair flows down her back, and the top half of her head head from her nose upwards is hidden by an opaque black veil and a horned golden tiara. Her clothing is a form of magic in the form of translucent, easily warped cloth, dubbed Shadow Weave.

-Carnage Form: In Carnage Form, Akira begins to resemble the titular character of his TV show, being clad in jet-black armor with an ornately forged chestplate, greaves and pauldrons. His arms are clad in the same armor, with clawed gauntlets and ornately crafted armor protected by sleeves fashioned from the same material as Shadow Weave; this is mostly due to the influence of Maeve than anything on Akira's part, made most apparent by Akira's helmet in this form resembling a snarling, horned wolf with glowing golden eyes. Akira's armor also bears a black cape with golden rims, that doesn't seem to ever be caught on anything; this is due to this cape being made from the same material as Shadow Weave.

Personality:
Akira: Kind, calm and polite to a fault, rarely making their displeasure clear except by subtle gestures or by granting the 'cold shoulder'. He is often rather reserved, and rarely desires to fight unless necessary. Akira is driven to some extent by a chivalrous instinct and acts as a mediator when necessary. However, it is clear he has a mischievous, playful side, often 'shipping' people he believes to be a good couple with each other. He is also rather good-natured about his appearance, often cracking jokes about his feminine looks. This contrasts greatly with the cold, chilly person he portrays in his role as the the demonslaying Yokai Senshi Koga, who is far more pragmatic and far less polite.

Maeve: Maeve is the opposite of the man she shares Performa with, being rather cold and aloof, with no interest in being polite at all. She has a sadistic streak, loving to hear the sound of her enemies' pained cries, and is also incredibly pragmatic about matters, preferring to kill first and ask questions later. However, it is clear that for all her darkness and sadism, Maeve has a caring streak and will gladly assist Akira in protecting his allies. They also share a mischievous, playful side, though Maeve is less quick to show hers than Akira is to show his.

Perks:
Bloody Glee: Maeve takes pleasure in the pain of her enemies and is especially ruthless to opponents she has already trapped. x1.3 damage against opponents afflicted with debuffs.
Evil Shine: Maeve's curses slowly degrade and bring down her opponents, whittling their resistances down as her magic weakens them. Each time Akira inflicts a debuff on an opponent with a debuff already placed on them, extend all existing debuffs on the target's durations by one turn. This perk's effect has a one turn cooldown and does not activate consecutively.
Debilitate: Maeve's magic is toxic and debilitating, slowly degrading an opponent's defenses as she wears them down. Akira's attacks ignore 10% of the target's ailment resistance or immunity (if any) and each debuff that lands on the target halves the target's ailment resistance (after reduction from Ruinous Aura). The ailment resistance reduction is removed if Maeve does not use a debuff on the same target for one turn.
Session: Akira is in possession of a high store of Performa, allowing him to share it with the Mirage Maeve. Allows the use of the ability Session.

This debuff activates the effect of Debilitate and counts as a debuff for Evil Shine and Bloody Glee. Akira's Session counts as a Dark Session.
