Akane Rin

Akane Rin is initially introduced as the older-sister-type bartender at StarSign, an underground cafe and live house in Hethereau. Before her bartending days, Akane was the lead vocalist and guitarist for an indie band called LINES. In the world, LINES was not just a musical group, but an officially registered Anomaly Hunter organization. The band consisted of Akane and her closest friends, Aurelia and Suzuha. Their hunter days came to an abrupt end following a tragic incident where Aurelia’s Esper ability overloaded, permanently costing her the use of her legs. With Suzuha moving away shortly after, LINES disbanded. Akane stepped away from the spotlight to work at StarSign, where she eventually met Haniel and you. Her electric guitar dynamically morphs into a weapon. By plucking the strings, she unleashes high-velocity "sound blades" at her targets. Her basic attacks build up "string energy," allowing her to attach harmonic overtones to enemies that detonated via sonic explosions for heavy burst damage.
