That's the price I pay for giving up on the easier path. For chasing revenge. A part of me forever gone, never to be acquired. Twelve wings, six regrets I rid off my soul. The gaping hole they left remains, but... If I give up now, I will be consumed. There are things far worse than this void, than this weakness that has taken a hold of me. I cannot give up, not now. Not while there are still people to protect.

Perks explanained:

SHSL Determinator (Never You+Forward+Rage): He will not settle for this fate. Even if he has to go through the depths of his personal hell, he will rage against the dying of his light. He has the will to never give up ever, and not accept the fate cast unto him. No matter what kind of horrors await for him, or what is coming his way. He will stand his ground, he will push forward. His spirit and soul unbreakable, enough to challenge his destiny.
"Abandon all your hope, ye who enter here". No... no. I refuse. I defied all of you once. I will manage to do it again, even if it is just a single nightmare eater I stop from eating someone's dream. It will matter. All the little things.

Beyond Catastrophic Damage (Athleticism+Rage): The will to go past one's limits and survive. He can tap into his inner strength, push himself beyond the limit to stay alive at the blink of defeat. The power to go past his body's natural limitations, and then way beyond that.
I feel all of my muscles burning. Everything hurts. From my body, to my soul... I can't stand down. I cannot give up, not now. I won't let my guard down, not in this nightmare.

The Will to Struggle (Stubborn+Forward): A sharper mind, and great will. When one has hit rock bottom, the only way is up. He cannot get desillusioned, not anymore, or allow his sadness to devour him as it once did. Even if his will destroy his own body, he will only push his emotional forward, burning all of himself in his Idolon form.
Untill all sins are repaid, until my life manages to turn around. Even if my road leads to a grave, it is the one I will follow.

Backstory:

Itsuki used to be a good boy; one would say he was the best boy. A human-shaped golden retriever. Once upon a time, three years ago, he was so much happier, with such a brighter future. However, that future collapsed on him like a castle of cards.

He was a member of the old student council, just as the Awakened and Nightmare Eaters started to appear. He catalogued, fought against threats, he dealt with those newly arising situations with his old companions, one of whom was his lifelong crush since his childhood, as well as his childhood friend and his best friend.

He planned to one day confess his feelings to her, maybe when the situation with the Nurarihyon was dealt with, but he sneezed and lost. His friend started dating someone else.

He was kept in the dark; his friend feared he would cut ties if he knew more than necessary.

That someone caused her to commit suicide. He doesn’t have clear details, only that they were in a relationship and that the breakup led to her death.

He tried to cheer her mood, help her deal with the break, but it all failed.

He failed.

She committed suicide anyway.

It shattered his inner world, so godammn much that everything about him started to change on the inside. His demeanor became more violent, his smile became a lie to hide all the seething rage inside his chest.

The only thing he knew about the one that broke her heart was their name and that they were an Idolon user.

And thus, he started a hunt throughout Kageoka, facing delinquents, facing bullies, facing anyone he thought would have an inkling of where that person could be.

He first questioned his fellow council members, who knew way more than he did about the relationship; he was kept in the dark intentionally. It caused a rift so big with him that he led to the dissolution of that lineup of council members, followed by a horrible lash out against the world.

He went to the school where that person studied. When he couldn’t find him, Itsuki lashed out against everyone who looked as much as a delinquent. He was not the fighter he is today, but his spite, rage, and motivation kept him going, and going, until a tidal wave of violence was unleashed on that school, kickstarting a wave of school violence with him in its heart.

His tantrum grew a rift between him and his father, who formally disinherited him until he could become a “better man, not blind by violence”.

His flesh became scarred, his skin thicker, his bones denser; he became a stalker, unrelenting in his pursuit, leaving a wake of violence in his path. From bullies, he started hunting yakuza, scaling issues further and further, and eventually even leaving the whole Nurarihyon and Idea World shenanigans as a side objective compared to his vengeance.

He is a storm of violence, hiding his darkness, shrouding his rage, waiting for the moment he can strike and unleash all of his accumulated vengeance.

It has all failed.

He failed on his personal quest, he has hurt innocents, and the price of his violence has been paid in spilled blood. He is stuck in the Idea World, with no way back as far as he knows it. But it doesn't matter.

He will stay there, until his guilt and sorrow are finally cleansed. He will help others, by trimming the tidal waves that soon will wash over Kageoka. Meaningless as his struggle is, he still finds defiance against destiny.
