A few technical details...
As a reaper, he uses a scythe as part of the job description. Aku has known he would be a reaper since he discovered that his magic is death or ghost, which naturally draws the user toward danger usually resulting in an early death. He has been waiting to die for years, because that means a huge increase in power for any death/ghost mage. During the years he was alive, he trained with a scythe, which was replaced when he died with the one he uses now. Each reaper's scythe is a very personal weapon, so every scythe is different. Aku's is about seven feet long with a 2'8" blade. The weight of the blade is counterweighted by an iron cap on the other end. He also carries a mortal hourglass, used to show how much time someone has left, though it is inaccurate if the mortal has cheated death once before. It's not very big, only a little over two and a half inches long. Alright, done.

Bio (I'll try to keep it short): Aku is the son of Drake and Isabel. He's obviously rather morbid and likes to wear black. He trained under his uncle, another reaper commonly known as Grim, and was expected to die long before sixteen. It's thanks to modern medicine and Drake's protectiveness that he lived that long, though he would have preferred to die younger thank-you-very-much. He has a twin sister, London. They are as different as they could possibly be. Aku tends to be rebellious, snide, and critical, but he is quite loyal and has a great sense of humor after he decides to like you. His fatal flaw is pride. He purposely disobeys Drake even when it's against all logic, purely for the sake of disobeying. For years he's been smaller and weaker than most of his family, and he does not take perceived insults well. He sees himself as inferior, though he'd never admit it, and almost all his stunts are to prove to everyone that he's as good as anyone. Now that he's dead, he has complete disregard for his own safety. Aku never talks about how he died. No one knows and no one asks.
