Fan Casting Travis Slater in Akira: Part 1

A shy, introspective orphan turned 21-year-old biker struggling with addiction and self-worth in the slums of the Old City. When an experimental drug unlocks latent psychic abilities, Travis transforms from a vulnerable young man desperate for escape into an unstable, terrifying god. This descent charts with aching vulnerability and volcanic rage, making Travis a tragic figure rather than a simple monster. His love for Kaori is his last tether to humanity; when that tether is severed, the world breaks with him.
