#whether or not i make a post like this again hinges enitirely on my insecurities

Okay so I've seen a bunch of peeps on here make posts about their persona hcs unprompted, but it's not smthn I've tried cus making first moves makes me feel pushy

However I have a whole lotta Akira hcs that I just rlly wanna share so..

-Akira was an (unintentionally) aggressive kid (as opposed to Goro who grew into his aggression in his early teens). It's not like he actively set out to upset/harm people, he was just naturally violent and hyperactive. He calmed down during middle school

-I personally see Akira as autistic? Mostly because those little in-game quirks he does (frequently adjusting his glasses, twirling his phone/pen, tugging on his gloves, fiddling with his bangs) as some form of stimming. His favorite is playing with his hair. As a child, he would just go wild and totally mess up his hair to get all that energy out. This leads into the next hc..

-He's sensitive to textures. Specifically hair textures. When he gets rlly close with someone, he likes to play w/ their hair (if they let him). He'll ruffle it, braid it, comb through it w/ his fingers and all that

-Touch his his love language. Loves hugs, hand holding and all kinds of physical affection. Y'all should know I'm a big fan of shuakesumi, so w/ Sumi he prefers to hold her hands and w/ Goro he prefers to lean on him

-Stated this in a previous post, but Akira is genderfluid. He's fine w/ any pronouns, most peeps just stick to he/him. It's not until a little bit after the events of royal that he starts outwardly presenting in more feminine and androgynous ways (thanks Sumi :>)

-This one's a bit out there, but I hc Maruki as Akira's birth father. I thought of it the second I saw him and already had a whole ass story in mind? I've only seen this hc once elsewhere and it was in a series of rlly good fics by wildcard_rumi. No I will not elaborate on the fics or my story ideas, just understand that Akira's bio mum was/is not a good person in this scenario and is p much one of the reasons Akira feels like he can't talk about himself

-I don't think I need to explain why I see Futaba and Sojiro as Akira's found family, but I want you all to know that I see Morgana and Sophia as his sibs to some degree too :>

-More of a simple one, he doesn't like sweets. Sugar gives him a headache

That's all out in the open now, I will await my punishment for saying words ever at all
