Cinkaid Akatsuki

"He with the ability to affect his surroundings by all means....."

- User: Alpha Olphion

Cinkaid Akatsuki (アカツキ·キンケイド, Akatsuki Kinkeido ) is one of the main supporting characters and tritagonists seen in the storyline, Fairy Tail: Tales of the Forgotten. Once a resident of the Infernius Kingdom, he had been sent away to Fiore because of his sudden illness. Being Dante's best friend and prominent rival since childhood, he serves as a catalyst to some of Dante's growth throughout the series. It's known that he works for the Magic Council after they help him with his thermokinetic problems, which derives from his illness which somewhat made his body fragile but granted him immense magical power. Serving part of said council, he's one of the captains of the Rune Knights. However, it's been stated that he's also the leader of the Red Dawn Executioners, a band of rogue, well-trained assassins that carry out the very will of Fiore, destroying all obstructions that dare disturb it's peace. It's because of this that many of his enemies fear his very presence. However, they're known to help out the rebel army and Team Astraia, becoming their personal mercenaries, and by extension, part of the group, due to the friendship that the two group's leaders share and their common hatred for its current king.

His services for the council had granted him the title of Wizard Saint (聖十 大魔導, lit. Seiten Daimadou), something he takes much pride, due to the benefits that it grants. Far and wide, like Dante, he's known by many titles such as Thermo God of Calamity (災難の熱電神,  Sainan no Netsu Denshin); it's the one he's most famously known for because of his absolute mastery of thermokinesis. Although.... not everything about him is set in stone as one is about to see.

Ambitions
"Jesus.... Why are you asking me that of all things?! Ah fuck it! If you're so interested, then I'll tell you. It's to be with everyone. I love them all, even if they can be buttholes sometimes. I want to make sure that they're happy and none of them will come to harm. My squad.... Infernius' civilians.... the Magic Council.... the other Wizard Saints.... you..... all of you are so precious to me. Dante..... I just wanna live happy with everyone and everything around me, just like anyone else would. Does that suffice enough as an answer."

- Cinkaid's main goal in life summed up in a few, simple, and sweet words to his best friend.

Background
""Let’s make a promise that if one of us dies, we will fight for everyone else even harder to honor that loss." "What are you saying. We both will have to survive.” "I know. I also don’t have the slightest intention of dying. Even so, we end up fighting strong foes. There were battles in the past where it wasn’t weird for us to have died". "That’s why we won’t know what will happen from now. That’s why I thought we should make a promise now if that happens. If one of us dies, then we will fight for everyone even harder for that loss." "Ah! I will repeat myself, but I don’t have any intention of dying! -Also I will hate it if you die as well. I will hate it if my pal dies." "Yeah, you are right. I hate losing my pal.""

- Cinkaid to Dante about their promise to each other about fighting for each other and for their loved ones.

Quotes

 * "Sorry... For making you do the dirty work..." - Cinkaid to a fellow Wizard Saint about doing a job in his place.
 * "Those who can't acknowledge their real selves are bound to fail." - Cinkaid remembering the words of his best friend.
 * "Apparently, one of my subordinates decided to screw you over. They said that they did it for "my sake" but that's total bullshit in my book. They decided to get greedy because they were bored and had nothing else to do. I properly scolded them for that. However, in this case, they weren't in the wrong. They made the right decision. I will have to properly apologize to them afterward. For now, let me finish what they started." - Cinkaid to Kokabiel Styx during their initial battle.
 * "OH MY FUCKING GOD, WILL YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT! IT GETS FUCKING ANNOYING AFTER A WHILE! DO YOU HEAR ME CALLING YOU "MR. LOVE DOCTOR"! NO?! THEN CUT IT ALREADY!

 * "If you let your guard down… you're dead." - To one of his subordinates during an espionage mission.
 * "Ah crap, I screwed up again with this. Eh.... I'll have one of my lower, more-competent subordinates do it" - Cinkaid talking about a particular job that's out of his skill set.

Trivia

 * Unlike Dante, he doesn't hate  the cold and has no preference to weather-type conditions. This may be due to his thermokinetic powers and his body's adaptation to any situation it's put in.
 * He's known to be a smoker, enjoying it from a relatively young age, precisely 18, in order to relieve stress.
 * Cinkaid 's favorite saying is "Armour-sleeved single hit" (鎧袖一触, Gaishū Isshoku), which means to defeating someone with a single blow. This might correlate to his role as an assassin, always having to end things in an instant before the enemy has time to react.
 * He's known to be an avid lover of Dante's pet, always wishing to have one of his own. He even states that it "looks cute enough to hug and carry around.", though he doesn't show it in front of others in fear of what they might think of him.
 * He soon gets one later in the story as a gift from Dante as thanks for all of his help thus far.


 * He has, a fear for most kinds of insects. Dante says that this fear comes from the fact that spider eggs once hatched in his ear and he got traumatized when he saw them coming out of it. This fear is transferred over to all insect-like beings of the sort.
 * Cinkaid is the author's main supporting character for his storyline and roleplays thus far, being somewhat used as back-up for Dante.
 * Of course, Cinkaid's favorite colors are Vermillion & Crimson as opposed to his best friend's favorite colors of Azure & Cerulean.
 * The quote about Cinkaid's comment on humanity's thirst for power was inspired by both 's talk to Sasuke about one's own perception about reality during their final battle in the hit series Naruto and 's speech about equality amongst humankind another hit series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
