Background and Origin
Child of the Akehebi
Aki was born to a a young human woman, Maisie Nixon, working as a mortal servant to one of Japan's lesser known vampiric clans: The Akehebi, or Blood Serpent Clan. Her mother came to Japan with her own parents many years ago and was never able to lose the label she had been given as a girl of English-American descent. This treatment forced her to seek out a life with less reputable groups. It was through this course that she met the Akehebi clan. Being promised a life where her land of origin would not matter, she foolishly joined the clan. And they didn't lie. Where she came from didn't matter, but now it mattered what she was. The clan was devotedly supremacist of vampirism, which led to Maisie being seen as little more than a willing slave or even livestock. Eventually, she found herself the personal concubine of one of the higher up vampires: Lord Shunsuke. And from this arranged, she eventually bore a child with the diluted vampire bloodline commonly known as a Dhampir.
Aki's birth was not a clan-shaking event, but it did call into question what the young girl's place was within the clan. Was she human or vampire? The debate had been brought up before in the clan, and her birth once more lit that flame. Maisie knew well enough that she did not wish for her child to be raised as either a tyrant or a slave. The unrest within the clan was an opportunity that she could not miss out on. And so, during the confusion, she managed to slip away one night, and somehow managed to find her way out of Japan and back to the United States. Naturally, this would not go unnoticed forever...
A Shadowed Life
Growing up, Aki was always aware that she was different, but other than that, she had been able to live unaware of her heritage for the most part. Living in this bliss left her with many questions however about her differences. Her mother always avoided the topic. But when during puberty, Aki began to develop hypnotic powers alongside her already amazing physical prowess, everything became more complicated.
Going through high school with powers is something that is more of a curse than a blessing. Even while trying to hide her powers, rumors began to spread. Some true, some false. But they all had some effect. Most worrying, however, was that the rumors began to slip out from the school ground.
It was at this time that Ravenswood Academy became something to consider. A place where Aki could truly learn about her abilities, and live more sheltered and safe. With a normal life becoming more and more dangerous as it seemed like the rumors of her abilities were spreading, changing to Ravenwood could not happen fast enough.
The Scarlet Moon Rises
Around age 17, Aki and her mother noticed that they were watched more often by outsiders. Maisie had specifically been very alert to this, but it got to the point that Aki noticed it as well. It didn't surprise either then that on a gloomy winter evening, Aki was cornered on her way home from class. Assailants with glowing red eyes and sharpened claws. Aki ran as fast as she could from her assailants, only able to make her escape by fleeing into the busier streets. It was at this point that Maisie was forced to tell Aki the whole story and explain to her what she was. The revelation hit like a bomb, but it also awakened a spark in Aki. Her mother had suffered this secret to protect her, and after risking so much to give her a chance at a normal life, these monsters would try to take it all away.
Aki was already fully aware of the fact that she was faster and stronger than the average human, but so were their vampiric assailants. Luckily for her, there was a place that seemed to be teeming with individuals capable of teaching Aki how to fight. For a few scary months, Aki and her mother lived hiding in plain sight. They would stick to crowds where their assailants would not be able to touch them, and moved into a small rental apartment with thin walls. All to make sure that there was no chance for them to be cornered without causing a fuss. And finally, when Aki graduated high school, the two moved away to Millennium City. And there, Aki would hope to find a way to learn how to fight and defend herself and her mother.
Life in Millennium City was not only safer, but also full of oppertunities. Maisie found work at a local diner, while Aki pursued a degree in medicine, all while training with numerous martial artists and even managing to catch the attention of UNTIL and PRIMUS. By age 22, Aki had finished her bachelor degree and had spent a few years training her skills. And while she trained with a number of weapons, she seemed more adept at using superhuman strength to swing around an axe as deftly as one could swing a blade. Her attention would soon be put to the test, as she decided to finally confront those who would hunt her. Their shadows were always visible from the corner of her eyes, and many times she had to flee for her life. But with her training under her belt, she stepped up to the next time she found herself cornered. Perhaps it was more the element of surprise, but Aki was able to deftly dispatch her attacks, and even claimed one of the weapons they were using: An enchanted battleaxe, engraved with ornate designs and infused with blood magic. It tapped into her vampiric side and allowed her to gain strength beyond what she was already capable of. With this new weapon in hand, a taste for vengeance and newly developed skills, Aki finally decided to use her powers for a greater purpose. Setting out for Vibora Bay, Aki took on the name of Scarlet Moon or Aketsuki and has now become a low profile vampire hunter, aiming to make sure that those of her darker bloodline with ill intent cannot ruin more lives.
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Super-Human Physique - Aki is stronger than most humans, and definitely faster and more agile. The strongest of these traits however, are her reflexes and her senses. She is able to react to most events with split-second precision. Combined with a trained sense of how to act in unexpected situations, she is very quick to react to anything happening to her.
Nightvision - Aki's glowing red eyes allow her to see in total darkness. Her vision takes on a more reddish hue in this case, and thus colors are harder to differentiate, but she can distuinguish shapes with near perfection.
Blood-Drinking - Under most circumstances, Aki would refuse to do this, but if Aki were to consume a moderate amount of human blood, her vampiric abilities would scale rapidly to the level of a true vampire. She refuses to do this in anything that is not a life or death situation as this can awaken a feral side of her that she fears she would be unable to control. It is possible that she might get an even bigger power boost from consuming vampire blood, but she has no intention to find out.
Hypnotism - To a lesser degree, Aki is able to use her vampiric mental strength to plant subtle messages and commands in other people's subconscious. She cannot truly entrace people, but she is capable enough to influence weaker minds.
Skills
Martial Weapon Training - Over the course of a few years, Aki has learned to fight and defend herself through the use of various melee weapons. And while she is skilled with most weapons from sticks to blades, she has an affinity for wielding top-heavy weapons, her favorite of which would be the battleaxe, which she can wield with the same speed and dexterity as one would wield a sword.
Medical Training - Due to her education and work, Aki is a skilled medical professional. She knows how to treat most injuries and can stay very calm while doing so.
Stealth Training - Due to the risks she has been exposed to in her life, Aki also picked up a fair amount of stealth training to learn not only how to hide in the shadows, but also how to blend into crowds. While she is no magician in this regard, her vampiric gifts have enabled to her to be at the very least moderately adept at staying hidden in many situations.
Attributes
Half-Vampiric Heritage - Most of Aki's power comes from the vampiric blood that runs in her veins. Though diluted and thus not as powerful as many true vampires, it also means that many of their usual weaknesses do not apply to her. She has no weakness to sunlight or running water. Nor does she depend on human blood to survive. However, this diluted blood does still grant her the ability to see perfectly in the dark, as well as having above human strength and especially superhuman reflexes. She only has lesser regenerative powers thanks to this. She can also drink human blood, a choice that would, for a time, dramatically increase her vampiric boons. This is however something that she prefers not to do, if only to further distance herself from the vampires she hates so much.
Gear and Equipment
Gear
Bloodleech - Aki's battleaxe, while taken from assailants of her origin clan, has served her well. The axe is empowered with blood magic and drains the blood of whoever it strikes. This in turn powers up the axe and any vampiric properties the wielder may have. This axe allows Aki to go into a battlerush, becoming stronger and faster throughout a fight. The power scaling is however nowhere near what she would gain from directly consuming blood.

General Perception
Aki has made sure to try and keep her hero persona well hidden. It is the primary reason why she lives most of her day to day life in Millennium City, but goes vampire hunting in Vibora Bay. In the few times that she hunts in Millennium City, she takes extra care to stay out of the picture. Anyone without extensive inside information from UNTIL databases or similar sources would likely not know who she is. The name Scarlet Moon however is a more known name, especially among the darker residents of Vibora Bay.
