Goals: To protect Last Order

After being a prime target for researchers and assassins throughout his life who saw a threat of his ability, Accelerator built a sense of paranoia.

All Accelerator seeks is power, enough power to scare off anyone, without having to fight at all. Any opportunity to gain more power, Accelerator would comply immediately, which is why he joined a project that was created for him to become the first level 6 esper. In order for Accelerator to achieve this 'level up', he would have to kill 20,000 Misaka clones.

As a megalomaniac, Accelerator strives to cause fear on those who dare to oppose him. He's a pure sadist, nothing better than inflicting pain and seeing his foe suffer, until ending their life.

After meeting Last Order his personality changes, becoming more cool and mature. He strives to protect her and even treats Last Order like his family/child he has to take care of.

He also has an affinity for black and white-themed clothing. He changes his initial clothing from a black shirt with white striped patterns to a white shirt with V patterns.

When he is enraged or excited, such as when fighting a strong or amusing opponent, he breaks into a wide grin and laughs, giving him a maniacal and sadistic appearance.

Much of Accelerators past is unknown. He mentions that he once had a "normal name" but has forgotten it.

As a child, Accelerator couldn't control his powers and it caused harm to those who got close to him. Since he wasn't able to approach anyone, this made him become a loner. After some time, Accelerator was discovered by Kihara Amata, a researcher with a vicious nature who thinks little of human lives, who trained him in how to control his powers and influenced him enough for Accelerator to adopt his sadistic and maniac personality.

Because of his ability, Accelerator was made the subject of an experiment attempting to create the first Level 6 psychic. He willingly joined to gain a reputation as the most powerful and feared psychic so that no one would be foolish enough to challenge him ever again. Accelerator killed the first 10030 Misaka Clones and kills clone 10031 before the experiment is ultimately stopped.

He originally wanted this reputation simply so that no one would ever get hurt trying to attack him, resulting in their own destruction, though as he went deeper into Academy City's dark side his goals slowly became more and more twisted.

The staff along with the four legs can be retracted in and out of the cuff. But its more important feature is a component inserted by Accelerator that blocks other interference devices. The crutch allows for Accelerator to block specific wavelengths after successfully analyzing it and using the equipment of the crutch, an interference wavelength can be reverse- engineered to specifically block that wavelength.

This device has 3 settings:
OFF : device is off.
NORMAL : allows him to do basic human functions for 48 hours until it needs to be recharged.
ESPER MODE : all his calculations are increased significantly, however this can only be used for 15 minutes until recharging is needed again.
