"It’s better to be hurt by the truth, than be deceived into happiness by a lie."

- Akane to Nozomi Ono

Akane Ono is the sister of Nozomi Ono, the the current heir to the Ono family. She’s a master archer, and a powerful astral psionic.

Appearance
Akane is always wearing traditional Japanese clothing. She has, on occasion, been seen in modern clothing when relaxing at her flat with Nozomi however.

Personality
Akane is open and cheerful at all times outside of combat. She’s very much the lady-like older sister. Akane tends to never lie, and will never sugarcoat a single thing she says. She has patience and wisdom beyond her years, and keen want to share her wisdom whenever she gets the chance.

Akane is a gentle soul; unless somebody really needs to be harmed, she wouldn’t hurt a thing on purpose. She would sooner show the enemy open arms than the sharp end of her arrows. This gentle attitude can be her downfall at times, but when pushed, she won’t hesitate to impale you on an arrow.

Background
From the moment she was old enough to really understand her mother’s words, Akane was taught all about the secret of the Ono family; their seemingly hereditary astral psionic powers. Her father was of the Ono family tree, but wished to end the astral secret with him. Akane was trained in secret from the age of three about her powers and how to use them. As well as archery, as a cover.

Akane’s mother could only manage to train Akane in secret, so when Nozomi was talking about herself seeing spirits, her father was getting upset. Akane’s mother shouted at Nozomi for it, but never meant a word of it. In order to keep Nozomi’s mind off spirits, her father began training her in kendo and other sword techniques from a young age.

Akane and her mother were out at one of their secret training lessons when Akane’s father was attacked by a psychic, and left with fatal injuries, and Nozomi with a minor injury. They rushed to the hospital when they got back, but Akane’s father dies the next day from his injuries. Nozomi went into a strange mood after this, and fell silent, and only wanted to be in her father’s dojo.

The following week, late at night, Akane and her mother left Nozomi at the dojo while they went to get some food from the local store. After they got to the store, they realised they didn’t have the money on them, and had to head back home, which lengthened the time they were out, as they were on foot, and the dojo was a little out the way, to just over an hour.

During this time, the man returned, and started demanding to be trained. Events occurred, and Nozomi ended up getting a near fatal hit on the head. The man then burnt the dojo down with intense, violent flames, fed up with place. Akane saw the flicker of flames, and she and her mother ran back, but by the time they got there, the place was ablaze. The firemen arrived to put out the blaze, but the fire was violent, and felt like no ordinary fire (because the man was controlling it from the shadows). After everything, there was only ash left of the dojo, and no Nozomi (As she has been taken by a spirit).

Akane and her mother were distraught, and knew who it was that did this, but once again, they never saw his face. Akane pushed herself harder than ever with training, begging her mother, who knew all the secrets of astral psionics, to train her like there was never going to be a tomorrow.

Akane trained, partly to take her mind off everything, and to aid in her revenge against her sister’s and father’s murderer. All the while, Nozomi was being raised by a spirit, without knowing anything of what happened.

In 2015, Akane and her mother felt they needed to move on, after spending the past years desperately searching for the man who ruined their family. The both agreed they had enough of hiding from and chasing a faceless man with no name. In October of that year though, the gang which that man from all those years ago worked for finally found Akane and her mother.

He showed up at their door with a small group of powerful psychics, knowing not to underestimate the power of Akane. Akane felt she was no match on her own, not when she lost the initiative and had no distance. Just as the man’s gang went to attack, something happened, something which Akane and her mother couldn’t believe. A girl, out of nowhere, was stood before them, blocking the man’s attack. Then, in an instant, she felled all the attackers. She turned around, as if a ghost from beyond, Nozomi stood before them.

Akane and her mother were understandably confused, looking at Nozomi as though she were a ghost, but Nozomi looked back on them as unfamiliar faces. Nozomi asked them if they were alright, and after they said they were, she turned and left after cuffing all the attackers. Akane ran out to Nozomi and asked her if it really was her, Nozomi just replied “yes”. Akane asked where she was going, Nozomi told them she was going back to the Psychic School Islands. She was speaking to them as she would any stranger, and it pained Akane to hear it.

Akane and her mother made their mind up; they were going to the Psychic School Islands, and would find Nozomi there.

Powers
Akane has been trained in astral powers and techniques all her life, but isn’t close to the same level as Nozomi, as Akane can’t commune with spirits very well yet.
 * Astral Manipulation, Spiritual Force Manipulation- In terms of astral energy manipulation, raw astral power and techniques, Akane is better than Nozomi, being older and trained to a greater degree. Akane has also been taught how to delve further into astral power, and into spiritual force.
 * Spirit Running - An astral technique which Nozomi knows as well. By focusing her astral power, Akane can make her body act as a spirit, and thus move with incredibly speed.
 * Spiritual Bow Construction, Arrow Generation - Akane can form a bow and arrows out of astral/spiritual energy.
 * Supernatural Vision - Akane was born with supernatural eyesight, which is what caused her mother to take her to an archery club, where she excelled.
 * Electromagnetic Vision - Akane can focus to see electromagnetic waves.
 * Energy Perception - Akane can focus to see astral/spiritual, emotion and psychic energy, and telekinetic force.
 * Illusion Awareness - Akane's powerful sight lets her see through illusions.
 * Invisibility Awareness - Akane's sight is good enough to see through invisibility.
 * Night Vision - Akane can see perfectly well in the night.
 * Soundwave Perception - Akane can focus to see soundwaves.
 * Telescopic Vision - Akane's sight is telescopic, and she can "zoom in" to get a clearer shot of her target.
 * Enhanced Archery - Trained nearly all her life, Akane is a master archer. And by combining her great astral powers into her archery, she is a formidable foe.
 * Selective Damage - By controlling the astral energy/spiritual force of her arrows, she can make them damage exactly what she wants them to damage. She uses them often to shoot through allies into enemies when she can't get a clear shot.
 * Super Speed Combat Archery - By combining her archery skills with her Spirit Running technique, Akane can unleash a bewildering number of arrows at her enemies within moments.
 * Trajectory Manipulation - Akane can control the astral energy/spiritual force of her arrows to alter their trajectory to hit the target.
 * Charged Attacks - Akane can add powerful effects to her spiritual arrows, given enough time to commune with the spirits or charge her energy:
 * Explosive Hell - By adding explosive effects to her arrows, especially during her Super Speed Combat Archery, Akane can make a literal hell of explosions.
 * Oversized Attacks - Akane can charge a huge and destructive arrow of pure astral/spiritual energy.
 * Projectile Enhancement, Trick Arrows - Akane can add the powers of spirits to her arrows, to give them a wide variety of effects; from fire to ice, from explosive to electrical, e.t.c..

Trivia

 * It was almost coincidental that Akane training in archery, and Nozomi in swords, as now they make a very dangerous team together. Nozomi keeps the enemies at a distance, and gives Akane the time and distance to attack from afar.
