Akim Papradon (Pantomime)

Akimu Papladon パップラドン・アキム) is an artifical demon (dubbed "Artificial Demon No.9" ) who was delivered to Franken Stein to have experiments performed onto him. It is hinted he plays a pivotal role in Braz' overlying desire to overthrow King Wolf. Akimu is a phantom presence, which means the body he is shown with is simply a "decoration", while the phantom manipulates the body parts through magic. Because of this, he cannot be easily defeated, as broken parts can still be controlled. His desire is to continually grow stronger, by taking body parts from others.

Pantomime

Artificial Demon No.9

Appearance
Akimu's body is made of many different demon's parts stitched together, leaving many seams seen across his body. Because of this, he is constantly changing, and not of a certain skin color or appearance, but there is a common one. His hair is shoulder-length and white with blue/black center bangs, while his eyes are of a slight yellow tint. His right arm is longer than most of his body, and covered in hair (It was taken from an ape-like demon). His left arm sports sharp shoulder spikes that can extend to a great length. He is most often seen wearing black pants. Additionally, the largest seam across his chest opens to reveal a large mouth with sharp teeth, which allows Akimu to consume others.

Personality
Akimu is obsessed with constantly becoming stronger. His goal is to collect the strongest demon parts for his body, which he believes is too weak. He finds a stunning beauty with fighting skill, and constantly compliments his opponents on the beauty of their technique, however only if he finds it beautiful. Overall, he seems very confident in himself, and also holds himself above others, though he does not seem to have many years of wisdom behind him.

Plot
Akimu Papladon, originally named Pantomime, was a demon performing a top-secret mission for King Wolf when he suddenly when missing and out of contact. Later on, he is delivered to Franken Stein's lab by a person calling themselves Santa Claus, who is later revealed to be Braz Blood. It is hinted that he plays a pivotal role in Braz' plot to overthrow King Wolf. After being worked on by Franken, he has grown stronger than when he first was delivered. However, he escapes the lab using his spatial magic. Heads Hydra, the father of Bell, was forced to give away some of his spatial magic due to orders from higher-ups. It is assumed that those powers were to be given to Akimu. After he escapes, Akimu goes on a search looking for the strongest parts of his body, and defeats those who have what he wants and attatches them to his body. Staz defeats him as part of a deal to learn how to resurrect humans. Though he defeats him, Akimu escapes before he is killed, but not succesfully, and instead has his parts severed and separated by Bell. Bell takes the parts to Franken, but before anything can further progress, Liz arrests both Akimu and Franken and imprisons them. Currently, the two are seen in a lab provided by Braz, while Franken continues to enhance Akimu's body. His previous body is now discarded, and he will now use the body of Father Blood.

Techniques

 *  Phantom Magic:  Because Akimu is a Phantom presence, and not a physical body, the magic he uses is to allow him to manipulate objects and things around him. WIth this, he manipulates how the physical body of Akimu moves, talks, and fights.
 * Imitation Spatial Magic: Akimu also posesses an "imitation" of spatial magic taken from the Hydra family, after Heads Hydra was forced to give his magic to him.

Equipment

 * Spatial Rings : Expanding rings that Akimu stole while in search of new body parts. Using his spatial magic, he is able to use the rings as frames to move through space, similar to Bell's signature frames.
