"One-Way Road") was a male human born in the modern age where he entered into [[Academy City (A Certain Magical Index)|Academy]] and showed talent as a an [[Espers (A Certain Magical Index)|Esper]]. As a child, he found that he could not fit with other children due to his abilities harming those that came close to him. When he was 10 years old, an incident with the other children led to an aggravated incident that caused Academy City to be deployed against him. This resulted in him giving up and he was sent to a special class to manage his powers. As a result, he became somewhat of a loner and was distrustful of other people. He then took part in the Power Curriculum Program and with his powers being realised he was put into a special class when he was 9 years old. Accelerator was then discovered by '''Kihara Amata''' who trained him on how to control his powers and influenced him enough to the point that the boy began to adopt his personality. It was then that he was made to take part in an experiment in creating the first Level 6 esper. This project was overseen by the city's best supercomputer '''Tree Diagram''' which determined that this shift could be achieved by him killing another Level 5 named [[Misaka Mikoto]] 128 times. Unable to accomplish this feat, the project heads considered an alternative plan to 'level up' accelerator. This involved him killing 20,000 killed espers instead with this being clones of Misaka that were made as part of the [[Sisters (A Certain Magical Index)|Sisters]] program. Each of the clones was an inferior copy of Mikoto with them instead being ranked at a power of Level 2 but the sheer numbers wold allow Accelerator to increase his power. This led to him willingly taking part in the experiment where he planned to gain a reputation as the most powerful and feared esper so that no one would ever challenge him again. He came to kill 10,030 Misaka clones where after murdering Misaka 9982 his actions came to enrage the original Misaka Mikoto who wanted revenge for their deaths. Despite both being Level 5's, she proved to be powerless to stop Accelerator who opted to kill her in the hope of completing the experiment that would move him to a Level 6. | + | Accelerator (一方通行アクセラレータ Ippō Tsūkō (Akuserarēta)?, lit.

Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Accelerator was a skinny teenager who had pale skin and moppy white hair along with distinct red eyes. His appearance was partly due to his ability as it blocked ultraviolet rays that prevented his body from producing melanin. Such was his power that he gained a number of epithets that included The One Who Wields the Power of God (神の力を振るう者, Kami no chikara o furū mono), Number One (一番, Ichiban) and as The Strongest (最強, Saikyō).
Typically, he showed a somewhat lazy personality with him being indifferent to people and the events that surrounded him most of the time.
Due to his potential, he was often targeted by assassins and researchers throughout his life. This led to him not trusting anyone and believes in attaining power.
His overconfidence in his power meant that he tended to arrogantly underestimate his enemies.
According to Aiwass, deep own Accelerator actually craved to be a 'hero' similar to Touma. However, he often declared himself to be evil because he believed he could never be a hero. Ths, deep down he was someone that tried hard to redeem himself.
After meeting Last Order, he looked to protect her from harm.
Powers and abilities
As an Esper, he had a unique ability called Accelerator (一方通行アクセラレータ Ippō Tsūkō (Akuserarēta)?, lit. "One-Way Road") with this being a power only wielded by him. It operated by creating a thin field of AIM (無自覚AIM Mujikaku (AIM)?, lit. "No Awareness") around him which allowed him to modify the vector values of anything he touched. Through Vector Transformation (ベクトル変換 Bekutoru Henkan?), he was able to control a vectors magnitude and direction allowing him to influence anything such as such as bullets, heat, and electricity.
He had a passive ability called Reflection (反射 Hansha?, lit. "Reflection") that reversed any oncoming vector coming towards the field that protected his entire body.
One common use of his power was to alter the vector of an object targeting him. This technique was called Vector Control (ベクトル制御 Bekutoru Seigyo?, lit. "Vector Control") which was versatile as it could be used defensively and offensively with it requiring no conscious control. Accelerator could use it to deflect or redirect any form of attack made against him such as from bullets, pressure waves or explosions without any need for awareness of the threat. In one case, he was capable of either reversing a person's blood flow through contact or even cause them to explode.
He came to be held as the 1st-ranked Level 5 and the strongest esper in Academy City. It was this reason that he was initially considered a candidate for the Level 6 experiment.
Due to his powers, he had no experience with hand-to-hand fighting as he had always defeated his foes in a single attack.
Accelerator later came to suffer damage to his brain that resulted in him having to use a choker-style electrode that connected him to the Misaka Network. The brainwave network allowed him to use language an also compensated for his lost ability to make the necessary calculations for using his power. However, it was said that this version was only half as effective as his old ability.
