So Akira is all about FIGHTING AGAINST CORRUPT POLITICAL SYSTEMS. . . . . but at the same time his skepticism of Astoria's motives/purpose/e v e r y t h i n g means he isn't about to meddle in another world's affairs just because Astoria told them to, oops. That said, he won't be indifferent-- if he does catch wind of some way he can legitimately help people, he'll absolutely take it! Just. You know. He's going to be wary about being used as a puppet by someone else he barely knows to interfere in the politics of a society in which he doesn't belong, so any help he offers he'll want to do on his own terms.

That aside, he's absolutely going to be drawn more towards the Syndicate and the seedy underbelly of El Minha than anything else because that's his #aesthetic SO LIKE. . . YOU KNOW. Which means lots of time spent at the casino and otherwise getting accidentally swept up in shady dealings and all sorts of other shenanigans, and very little time schmoozing with royalty. Please come bet on lizard races with him!!

He may also be quite the formidable opponent for the pickpockets of the Grand Market because how the heck else does a teenager who has no clue what he's doing make money, and also because Akira gets into some kind of trouble wherever he goes, I swear.
