Background/History: Iwao Akatsuki is a Japanese operative for Trident. He is known by the nickname of "Boomerang," as he never fails to return from a mission, no matter how deadly.

Personality/Motivation: Iwao seems to be in it for the thrill of living life on the edge. His quote (see below) pretty much sums up his personality. He is not without out a sense of honor, however, and teams up with Yu and Yoshino to assist them in escaping from The Forest of No Return.

Quote: "I'm not interested in any life without death. See, this is actually my idea of a good time. A game of life and death... I'm in this business for the thrill of it!"

Powers/Tactics: Iwao uses a "machine suit" which is similar to Arcam's armored muscle suit, except it sacrifices ability for increased power. This suit is based off of the suits used by Fatman and Little Boy. In addition, Iwao is a skilled martial artist, and carries a wide assortment of weapons.

Appearance: Tall, and good-looking, Iwao's features are marred by a pair of scars that run along the lower-left of his forehead, over the far-end of his eyebrow. Iwao has black hair and brown eyes, and a strong build.

Designer's Notes: Iwao carries highly advanced Trident weapons when on a mission. The equipment listed is only meant to be a sampling of his possible gear.
