Akuseru Shinigami

Akuseru (Aksu) Shinigami is a student in Peace Valley Academy in Danganronpa : Chaos Descent.

Physical Traits
Akuseru Shinigami is a timid boy who was raised in an urban area outside of Tokyo. His normal attire consists of a black wide brimmed hat, and an outfit resembling that of Victorian era Catholic priests. A chain hangs off of his belt, with a crucifix attached to it. Akuseru's attire is completely black, with red accents on his robe and gloves. His skin is very pale and spotted with freckles, and dark circles hang under his eyes.

Personal Life
Aksu was adopted by a single father at a young age, who worked in a funeral parlor. Aksu was homeschooled by his father and now works around the funeral parlor, organizing burials and funeral services. He does very important work, and takes great pride in what he does, therefore he feels there is no room for failure. Aksu's father holds him up to very high standards as well, and is very strict with him.

Personality
Akuseru is a very shy and quiet person. He rarely speaks up on his own in conversations, and almost never raises his voice at other people. He is very emotionally sensitive and will often break down at any slightly negative comments directed at him. Even if the comment was not meant to be taken negatively, Akuseru tends to assume that every comment made about him is negative.

He was held to very high standards growing up, so manners have always been very important to Akuseru. He sees everyone around him as superiors, and treats everyone with the utmost respect. His speech patterns are very formal, and he will sometimes use older dialect that would go over the heads of other people his age. Akuseru grew up in an environment where any mistakes were responded to with punishment, which made him become very apologetic in later years. He apologizes for things that wouldn't normally elicit an apology, or for things that weren't even his fault. His lack of self esteem and fear of failure tend to control the majority of his mindset, but he is always kind and respectful to other people no matter what.
