About this title

Synopsis

As Christmas Eve approaches Academy City, an array of decorative festivities adorn the streets. While the rest of the city is getting into the merry mood, it seems gloom is all that Touma Kamijou experiences. After suffering from one misfortune after another, he encounters Mikoto Misaka escaping from the watchful eyes of Tokiwadai Middle School in an attempt to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere. The two agree on making the most out of this dreadful holiday; however, unbeknownst to them, a mysterious third party observes their every move. Elsewhere, the newly instated Academy City Board Chairman initiates his first operation—a plan that will turn the entire city's framework upside down. Naturally, as he seeks to leave every stone unturned, previously hidden enemies begin to reveal themselves along with their malicious intents... [Written by MAL Rewrite]

    Age: 15-16 Height: 168 cm Hair color: white Eye color: red Classification: Esper Affiliation: GROUP (Former operative) Occupation: Nagatenjouki Academy Level: 5 Partner: Last Order Ability: Vector Manipulation Quote: "Just because I've gotten weaker, it doesn't mean that you got stronger, right?" Theme Song: "Saikyou no Nanori" Accelerator is the most powerful Psychic in Academy City and the main protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator. His real name is unknown, though Accelerator recalls his surname was composed of two characters and his given name consisted of three characters. First appearing as an antagonist of the third light novel, he later becomes a main character and the lead of the science side in the Toaru Majutsu no Index series, especially in volumes 5, 8, 12, 13, SS1, SS2, 15, 14, 19, and 20. A sadistic boy about the same age as Touma, he has an ability called "Vector Change," a form of telekinesis allowing him to change the vector values of anything he touches due in part of having a thin coat of AIM fields surrounding his body. This ability allows Accelerator perform feats such as reversing the blood flow inside a person's body, increasing the wind velocity around him to create a massive plasma storm, and blocking sound. His ability is automatic, which means that he must consciously allow gravity to affect him and that his body blocks all ultraviolet radiation, resulting his albino appearance (white hair and pale skin) because his body is unable to make melanin. The automatic nature of Redirection also prevents the use of projectiles (like bullets) and explosives (like bombs) against him. Accelerator's unique ability made him the subject of an experiment attempting to create the first Level 6 ESPer; according to the city's best supercomputer, Tree Diagram (which was unprecedentedly destroyed by Index's Dragon Breath), this feat could only be achieved by killing 128 skilled Level 5 ESPer without a single failure. Since there are only six other known Level 5s in Academy City, an alternative plan was formed to "level up" Accelerator by having him kill 20,000 skilled Level 3 ESPers: the Misaka clones. He willingly joins the experiment to gain a reputation as the most powerful and feared ESPer that no one would be foolish enough to challenge and even killed many who got in his way.

    Age: 15-16 Height: 168 cm Classification: Esper Ability: Imagine Breaker (unique non-esper, non-magic ability) Level: 0 Famous Quote: It's my dream to go back home smiling, without having lost anything. He is the series' protagonist. He has the lowest psychic rank possible at Level 0—largely because the people testing psychic abilities cannot detect or classify his abilities. His power is Imagine Breaker (幻想殺し, "Illusion/Fantasy Killer"), a power which negates all magic, psychic, or divine powers but also his own good luck. Due to the nature of his power, the founder of Academy City considers him neither a Psychic nor a Magician but rather a normal person with a unique ability. He tends to stay away from trouble but possesses a strong sense of justice, albeit somewhat shallow and dogmatic. He is a smart student and knowledgeable about certain subjects yet is a failure in his esper studies. While he is an idealist for the hopes of other people, ironically he is cynical about himself possibly because of his powers. (Source: Wikipedia)

    Magic name: Beast666 Birthday: October 12, 1875 Height: 175 cm Ability: Archetype Control, Spiritual Tripping, Crowley Hazards, Blood Sacrifice, Genius Intellect, Healing, Hacking, Various forms of magic including curses, modern western, kabbalah, and much more. Weapon: Blasting Rod, Smartphone Position: General Superintendent of Academy City Based on the late Aleister Crowley. He was once the greatest magician in modern magic history, where more than half of all modern magicians are affected by this man's established theories, and two-fifths of them are direct followers of his ways. Aleister stretched the boundaries of sorcery farther than the advances made in the last few millennia alone and written many top-class spell books like The Book of the Law. His death in 1947 shocked many but it was not the last the world had heard of him. In reality he faked his death to stop his obsess fanatics following him and secretly went to Japan where he meet a doctor who he would later called Heaven Canceler. Years later, Aleister, Heaven Canceler and several powerful individuals combined their resources and influences to create one of the most technological advance city on Earth at western Tokyo, Academy City. By this time, rumors of Aleister still being alive led some mages to discover the truth. At first they were happy to see that he was alive but were immediately shocked as that not only Aleister abandoned using magic but was more interested in the study and development of ESPers. To this day, only a few magicians know Aleister is still alive who are mostly the leaders of powerful magical organizations and their trusted followers and those that do know him view him with skepticism, curiosity on what he's doing or outraged for abandoning magic and supporting science especially ESPers studies. Not making things any better is the fact Aleister was responsible for the creation of the truce between Science and Magic where neither side is allowed to interfere in each other affairs which has irked both sides. As the 13th Board of Director and General Director of Academy City, Aleister has the final say of the city affairs but usually leaves the city's welfare to the other members of the board. He resides within a tall, gray building called The Windowless building, known for not having any exterior windows where access to the building is a secret to a few. In there, Aleister's body which has now become younger lies inside a giant glass tube, supported by machines made by Heaven Canceler that extended his lifespan where he plots his mysterious plans.
