Biography
Accelerator (一方通行アクセラレータ Ippō Tsūkō (Akuserarēta)?, lit. "One-Way Road") was a male human born in the modern age where he entered into Academy and showed talent as a an 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 Level 3 espers instead with this being clones of Misaka that were made as part of the Sisters program.
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.
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.
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.
