Profile
Akili is Clan Kiro's contestant. He's rational, logical, and mature beyond his years, but severely lacking in the social graces. He's anxious by nature but expresses it by getting very controlling and obsessive over small details - or freezing up completely.
The youngest devil selected by the tournament’s lottery, Clan Kiro’s Akili is as close as a devil gets to being a dorky, skinny nerd. Most of his knowledge of humans comes from word-of-mouth, and so he does his best to use the advice he’s received and scare his human into submission. He's trying to threaten a college student whose will to live depends on when the next episode of his show comes out, though, so that doesn't go so hot. Fastidious and, at best, magically average thanks to his age, Akili’s only real weapons in the tournament are his sheer intelligence and ability to think outside the box.
Owen and Akili function as pretty tight partners after Owen's resentment wanes and Akili realizes that Owen is a people and not a pet. Partially due to his original mindset, though, Akili can get really touchy and likes to pet/otherwise snuggle Owen (who is less thrilled).
Both boys are absolutely terrified of the prospect of this whole tournament and do their best to get through it. Akili uses an Augment spell on himself at Owen's suggestion and fights in tandem with Owen: he chooses the ability to ignite the air around him, in tune with Kiro's natural ability to breath fire - an ability he's been denied the use of thanks to the tournament.
Social Connections
Owen - human tournament contractee
Khordance - irritating other demon he's forced to spend time around
Brock - they're around each other a lot but he doesn't have much of an opinion about him
World Context
Redone lore coming eventually!
devils are a secluded race that lives under the surface. They are split into a little fewer than thirty clans, each with their own territory and differing customs. Every clan tends to have a unique trait, and they all have a unique skin color that only varies minutely among their members.
Long ago, the devils formed a set of rites with humans that can allow them to survive on the surface - devils cannot stand surface conditions for much longer than a few weeks. By forming this magic pact with humans, they can stay and thrive as long as their human lives. The rites have two halves - an agreement, or Contract, which simply requires consent from the human, and then the Binding, when the devil steals the heart of their human and "consumes" it. They assimilate it and gain the heartbeat of their human.
In place of ancient, destructive wars, devil society hosts a tournament every few years to determine clan dominance. A randomly-selected representative from each clan is sent to the surface, and the tournament takes advantage of the binding rites to utilize humans in the battle. The tournament basically involves devils pit-fighting humans. On top of the standard pact, the tournament gives devils a few "Augment" spells based on their magical prowess that they can use on their humans to ready them for battle.
