Background:

Birthplace: Akihiko was born in Shizume town
Family: Akihiko has one younger brother named Satori and no other family
History:
For as long as Akihiko can remember his life has always run according to some kind of schedule. Even as a young child he remembers his mother drilling him each and every morning about how his day was going to go. Many would think his mother's behavior was controlling and overly possessive, considering she did plan every moment of every day of his childhood. Seemingly over the top, his mother's obsession for planning was actually a necessity for her and Akihiko to survive family life. She was married to an abuser, and a member of Sector Four, other wise known as the blue clan. Akihiko's mother simply had to plan every second of their lives, to not only keep her son safe but to also keep others from learning their families unpleasant secret. Life was livable as long as Jin Habari (the previous blue king) was around given that honor and integrity were always an important part of the blue clan. As long as those core values were being enforced Akihiko and his mother had few things to worry about. It was only after Jin Habari died did his father lose the only moral compass he had.
Devastated by the loss of his clans' men and leader Akihiko's father threw himself at the mercy of the drink. From there the abuse only worsened, instead of just the occasional violent fight between his parents it became an everyday event. Akihiko quickly learned that his mother was the only thing between him and daily beatings, and when she wasn't there the best thing to do was to stand and take whatever it was being dished out. Guess his mother figured that out too because despite the appalling abuse she still ended up pregnant again while pretending everything was alright. The joyful news of another child did little to ease the anger his father felt and like almost everything in their lives the abuse stayed the same throughout the eight months his mother was pregnant. Abuse does funny things to people, and although his mother kept a pretty leveled head through it all she chose not to tell a soul about her pregnancy. At the time Akihiko was about thirteen so he could kind of understand why his mother avoided the hospital. There was simply no way for her to go and keep the abuse happening at home a secret, so she opted for no prenatal care and hoped for the best.
In the end choosing her family over her own health was the wrong choice because right after her home delivery a series of seizures took her life. Just like that his only protector was gone, and he was left with a baby he couldn't care for and a father far too angry for his own good. Needless to say after the passing of their mother their family ran into some legal hardships and for a short time Akihiko and his brother Satori were removed from their home and placed into foster care. The horrors of the foster care system were just slightly better than the horrors the two brothers faced back at home, but it was all short lived. As a former member of Scepter Four, their father in the eyes of the law was considered honorable and after jumping through a few hoops he was able to reclaim his sons. Life without their mother required Akihiko to step up so that he could fill her shoes. For the next few years, he took the full brunt of his father's drunken rages, while also caring for his kid brother Satori. Just like his mother Akihiko kept everything that happened at home quietly, never reaching out to anyone who might have actually been able to help. It wasn't until recent years did life actually change... it wasn't until Akihiko was gifted the power of kings did the wheels of fate start to turn.
There is a limit to how much a person can take, whether they are the abused or the abuser, apparently, Akihiko's tolerance for misery was higher than his fathers. Honestly, Akihiko will never understand what kind of pain his father was suffering or what pushed him over the edge. Maybe it was because his father felt guilty he lived and not in Jin Habari, or perhaps it was because of his sons, Satori and Akihiko, resembled his late wife more with every passing day. Regardless one day their father decided it was all just too much and was going to end his life, but not before he ended his children. Akihiko should have been more on guard that day instead of being so conditioned to his lifes daily routine. It was because he wasn't ready that his father almost succeeded in slicing open his throat. If it wasn't for Satori noticing their father and taking hold of his arm Akihiko would have likely died within minutes. Still, despite his brother's efforts to protect him Akihiko was still cut and was bleeding profusely, and although he wouldn't die right away he was still dying a slow death if left untreated. It was in that state of shock that the chaos happening triggered his powers awakening his sanctum turning the house to which they lived into an icy hell. Akihiko froze his father to death that day.
Akihiko kind of just passed out after that, apparently using a sanctum while bleeding to death too much for even a king to handle. If was a few day later did Akihiko finally regain conciseness all patched up in a hospital with Satori and Scepter Four waiting patiently at his side. Seemed the cat was out of the bag because being as honest as his brother was Satori had told Scepter Four everything. All the good and bad things really, because yes Akihiko got the care that he needed and avoided jail time because of his status as a king, but all of that came with a price. Now labeled as unstable and potentially dangerous Akihiko is required to report to Scepter Four weekly. Guess things are not as bad as they could have been, honestly, he could have been dead. If putting up with the blue clan is all he has to do than things as they are now are fine for the time being.
Clan and Aura:
••••••
••••••
Clan Setup: Since the last colourless king died less than a year ago 'Winter', the new colourless clan, is officially the newest clan on Kingcraft. To be perfectly honest the clan set up for Winter is pretty basic at this point, with only a small handful of members Winter primarily operates on trust. Proving yourself trust worthy to Akihiko is the only way to gain power and to climb ranks. Proving yourself untrustworthy just one time, however, will get you stripped of all your powers and banned from the clan and its territory regardless of your ranking. This system is simple and seemingly easy and yet its effectiveness has been proven this past year.
Clan Goals: The colourless clan has no major goals, they are not interested in changing the world's order or holding large amounts of territory. Winter is a new clan and Akihiko hasn't thought too hard about what it is he wants to do with all this new power. As of right now, Winters goals are to give its members a place they belong, along with some support and power they may not otherwise have in their lives.
Aura Description:
The aura of the colourless clan has a lovely white glow to it and it is not to be mistaken with the silver clan's silver glow. White is the absence of all colour and is the most suited for the colourless clan, it represented by Akihiko's sword of Damocles which is also white. Since each sword of Damocles differs from king to king it is no surprise that Akihiko's sword looks nothing like the last colourless kings.
Now the reason the colourless clan goes by the name 'Winter' is a simple one. All of its members have the power to create ice and snow. Every member has the ability to lower the temperature around themselves to create ice. However, only most trusted members have the ability to use that power on a grand scale. New members or members who have not built a personal relationship with Akihiko, will not have large amounts of power. So please if you are new to 'Winter' do not go around freezing buildings and whole streets. Realistically you will not have the power to do such things, you will, however, have the power to freeze smaller objects, like cars for example.
Members who have proven themselves to Akihiko will have more power than the regular members, these members can, in fact, ice over buildings or cover a whole street in snow. Just don't go around freezing people, to be blunt freezing and killing people will get you booted from the clan so use your power wisely.
Clan Description: Winter is the very newly formed colourless clan, it is not widely known to the other clans as of yet because they have kept a low profile. Winter is still in its early stage so it's main priority as of right now is to add more members to its ranks while figuring out just what their purpose is. New members are welcomed but do keep in mind that just because you ask to join doesn't mean you will be accepted right away. Since Winter is built on trusting relationships, it's only natural you would have to wait awhile. However, once the clan gets a feel of who you are and your intentions you can expect to either be accepted or rejected.
RP Sample:

How long had it been since he began watching the snow fall, he wasn’t sure but if the layer of snow covering his body was any indication at all, he would have to say a few hours at least. A few hours on the roof of Myogi shrine in the bitter cold was nothing to someone like Akihiko whose sanctum was ice. In fact lying there surrounded by his own aura was perhaps the most tranquil experience he had ever know. As the snow continued to fall he was completely memorized, deaf and blind to everything around him. Akihiko was blissfully unaware of the small crowd of passer-bys that had gathered on the grounds underneath him. Maybe he was a tad to memorized because, despite the people gawking at the sky wondering why it was snowing in August, he pulled more power from his sanctum. Large and heavy snow flakes fell in thick clusters and blew out of the gates of Myogi shrine and onto the hot sidewalk. The snow caused trees to begin to lose their leaves and even stopped traffic. It wasn’t until a familiar voice broke his trance that he was even aware that he had caused a disturbance. From the ground, Akihiko could hear his brother Satori calling his name prompting him to sit up and look around for the first time in hours.
Seeing the crowd of people below and taking note of just how much snow he caused to fall, had Akihiko tensing up and looking a little wide eyed at the situation he had created. It was easy enough to spot his kid brother pushing his way through the crowd, but not as easy to answer his calls. Feeling like he was at a lost for words Akihiko sat still and waited for Satori to look up which could have taken awhile if he was waiting for anyone else. Luckily for him his brother knew him well and spotted him within a few minutes, Satori wasted no time getting to the roof by using a large step ladder Akihiko had set up earlier. Maybe a better brother would have stopped a thirteen-year-old from climbing up a snow covered ladder, perhaps that same good brother would have warned his brother the roof was slippery. Akihiko did none of those things, he only waited for Satori to shuffle his way across snow covered shingles before saying anything at all. “Shouldn’t you be at school..?” Likely shouldn’t have been the first thing out of his mouth but it was, and Satori scowled. Maybe even growled, which caused Akihiko to look up and away from his brother suddenly nervous he was about to be scolded.
Breathless his brother paused for only a moment before taking Akihiko by the face and huffing. “I was at school Akihiko, but then I saw the news! Did you know you're the number one trending topic on twitter!?” Satori pretty much said all of that in one big vomit of words, all while shoving his cell phone in Akihiko’s face. Akihiko kind of refused to look at the phone at first, but worried about the trouble he had caused eventually he did take took a peek. Satori was actually right for once, pictures of Myogi shrine was all over the internet. Pictures of a single building being snowed on in Shizume town was the number one trending topic in their area. Crap was really the most appropriate word for this situation and it was all Akihiko could offer Satori who rushed all the way here despite it being the middle of the day. “Snap to it Akihiko we have to go before we get in trouble. Every monk in the temple is convinced this is a bad omen and if they find us we’re gonna be drenched in holy water!”
Clearly, Satori was a little more panicked than Akihiko, that was clear from the way he pulled on his arm. Although he did agree they should probably go before some found them it wasn’t the holy water that motivated Akihiko to finally move. “..Sometimes I wonder about you Satori..” Akihiko sighed as he took his brother's hand and lead him safely back to the ladder. Akihiko motioned Satori to stay and wait while he went down the ladder first, only after he was sure his brother would be safe did he give him permission to come down after him. Slipping through the crowded unnoticed was easy since everyone's attention was upwards at the moment. Likely the crowd was memorized by the beauty of the snow like Akihiko was just a few short moments ago. Envious that he could no longer enjoy the same sights he cut off his sanctum, causing the snow to stop falling and the sun to return. The air was almost instantly muggy as the sun's heat blazed down on the cool snow. Really what a waste and at the very least it deserved a sigh from Akihiko, as he and his brother made their way down the shrines stone steps and onto the busy street.
