⭐ Akeem is naturally a very charismatic individual, while it can be argued that these are skills that he learned in order to deal with people during his travels, that is not true, and the case is that he has always been like that. Being as observant as he is, he has almost mastered the ability to read a person and deduce not just their current state but also their perspective wants and if there is something he doesn't know he's smart enough to either play dumb, flatter, or whatever is needed in order to have people willing give information to him that can help him and his case. This has not only helped him in matters of business or flirtation but also in just general conversation with very few people having anything negative to say about the man.

⭐ Akeem is a vegetarian due to his religious and personal beliefs but has eaten meat before in his life, often due as a result of translation issues, when he was traveling abroad in his 20s and 30s, a situation that he almost instantly recognizes when it came up due to the fact that, because he doesn't eat that much meat, when he does he gets fairly ill as a result.

⭐ Akeem runs rather hot with regards to body temperature. He's, almost, always slightly warmer than almost anyone who makes physical contact with him and yet despite this he seems to have no issue in hotter environments where others might need to cool down. Instead he seems to thrive there. Likewise, while he does hate cold weather he doesn't need to seem to bundle up as much as one might expect. 

⭐ Akeem keeps a collection of items that he has gotten from his travels, and while he does have a few mass produced, proper, tourist trap objects in his collection such as mugs and snow globes, he prefers things that are handmade and one of a kind. Along with that a good few items in his collection, minus those that came from the likes of a souvenir store or an airport, are things he didn't even buy, often being things that were instead given to him for free either due to his ability to talk people into doing so or by being a good guest while he was staying with them. He also jokes that a few of the objects in his collection are cursed but that is probably not true. Probably.

⭐ Akeem walks with a cane alongside his prosthetic, although generally he doesn't need it, often only needing its help for extremely long walks or on rough and uneven inclines. Yet, even still, he treats it almost as an extenstion of his body, using it to gesture, add to a flourish of his movements, push things away, or pull them closer as easily as using his own hand most of the time. Along with that, he can walk almost silently with his cane despite it being made of wood. Because of the nature of the material that it is made from, on certain floors, the cane tends to make a faint clicking tap sound when it makes contact with a surface. As easily as on or off, Akeem seems to have developed something of a talent of moving silently with it, often using that ability to sneak up on people in the likes of his showroom in order to surprise them and make a bigger first impression with them when the silence is broken by him suddenly speaking up; although he does delight slightly in making people jump a bit in shock.

⭐ Akeem, due to his upbringing, in which he was raised to follow his father into a career in law has a knack at spotting, writing, and/or getting out of loopholes. Often able to either see a glaring flaw in a contract presented to him within a few minutes of reading it or write one that is not only air tight but also one that most people tend to not even notice unless exact circumstances come up. And while he could easily use this talent in order to enrich himself, and he does, although that depends on the person for whom he's writing the contract, just as often he can write something into a contract that can and will help a person with a future problem.

⭐ Akeem, despite both coming up in and living a fairly wealthy lifestyle, lives almost completely spartan. For example, while he does own what is arguably a fairly decent home, complete with multiple stories, bedrooms, bathrooms, a pool, and etc? The only rooms with any sort of furnishing are the rooms in which actively uses, for example, the kitchen and the master bedroom, the rest of them are pretty empty with the exception of one or two guest bedrooms and bathrooms with the bare minimum on the off-chance he invites someone home who either doesn't want to join him in his bedroom or sleep on the couch, as well as a room which could serve as something of an office filled with the prior mentioned trinkets in his collection. More often than not, he simply uses as much as he needs in any given month, saves some, but gives the bulk of his funds to those who he thinks are more in need.

⭐ Akeem's employees have an extremely favorable opinion of him as a boss, even those who formerly owned the business that he bought from them, a fact that, the latter even more so, comes as a surprise since those who haven't had contact with him aside from rumors view him as a shrewd businessman. Between an extremely generous pay, extensive insurance plans, treating them as equals to him, flexible shifts, and ousting people who make work uncomfortable, difficult, or outright hostile? Few have any real reason to dislike him once they begin to work for him.  The occasional quality of life gift from him also doesn't hurt matters. 

⭐ Akeem has been, ever since the incident that led to his falling out with his family and the loss of his leg, open about his pansexuality. While in certain cases he doesn't actively advertise it, for example, in countries where his attraction to men is considered illegal, he doesn't actively deny it either. This has been more true ever since his divorce with the amount of male and female partners being roughly equal since (and before) that point.

⭐ Akeem despite growing up in wealth, was cut off from the bulk of his funds when he all but cut himself off from his father, however, since then he has managed to build something of a decent fortune for himself. Even more so with his wealth increasing to its roughly current levels during his trips around the globe, and while he insists that nothing he did was illegal, mostly, he does refuse to mention exact details on how he came into his fortune with some speculating he did everything from simply being a savy businessman, to conning people, to gambling, to those illegal activities that he denies occured.
