name: Inuyama Akira Cygnia
age: 50's
pronouns: he/him
occupation: teacher (Promised Morning Academy)
status: mundane, former Dreamer

Akira is the childhood sweetheart and husband of Odette Cygnia a.k.a. Dreamer Swan, one of the founding members of the Dreamer Union and its public face for nearly two decades. For the most part he is known simply as this, happily overshadowed by his wife's accomplishments, though any Dreamer who has walked the halls of Promised Morning Academy will also know him as Inuyama-sensei - a history and home economics teacher with a deep love of music.

What Akira doesn't want people to know about though is his own past as a Dreamer: Dreamer Orthrus, a sentry archetype who awoke while Dreamer Swan was trying to rescue him from a powerful Nightmare. Orthrus fought at Swan's side for years, but ultimately decided to give it up in high school, wanting to focus on his studies instead of struggling to do both. This was part of Odette's motivation in later helping to form the Dreamer Union, and Akira continued to support her with this endeavor just as she had always supported him, assisting mostly behind the scenes.

Now that both of them have lost their powers, Akira's focus is on continuing to nurture and support young Dreamers, while also raising two children and supporting Odette's protege. He is a kind and gentle man with strong paternal instincts, ones that results in him trying to help his students however he can. His eldest, Odile, has recently awoken as a Dreamer, which has caused him more anxiety than he'd like to admit.

+ history

Akira was born the youngest child and only son of a big family. However, when he was very little both of his parents and youngest sister, Reimi, passed away in a car crash that he was the only survivor of. Akira was then raised by his eldest sisters, Harumi and Umi. Akira grew up with a lot of survivor's guilt, as well as guilt seeing the way Harumi gave up many of her dreams and worked herself to the bone to keep their family together. Because of all this he was a very withdrawn child, keeping a lot of his issues and feelings to himself, and eventually became a target of bullying at school.

He met Odette when the two were 12 years old, after she came overseas on an exchange program. The two became close over time, with feelings eventually starting to blossom between them. After a traumatic event involving a bully smashing Akira's beloved guitar though, he fell victim to an extremely powerful and vicious Nightmare. Odette as Dreamer Swan did everything she could to save him, even being willing to risk her own well being to do so, and it was her voice that got through to him and kept him from losing all his memories. He managed to awaken as a Dreamer and fight back against the Nightmare, the two of them defeating it together.

After that Akira joined Odette's Dreamer team, eventually coming up with the name Dreamer Orthrus for himself. They worked together for several years, but when they all got to high school the group started to struggle in the waking world. Akira was the first one to make the decision to give up being a Dreamer, as it hadn't always been as positive a experience for him as it had been for Odette and he wanted to focus on his future. By this time he and Odette were already dating though, and he promised he would still be there to support her no matter what.
