Name:
Makoto Kiyoshi
Age:
15
Gender:
Male
Village:
Kumogakure
Rank:
Chuunin
Nature Manipulation:
Earth
Appearance:
Slim and petite, standing at five feet even in terms of height and weighing no more than a mere one hundred and five pounds, even at the developing age of fifteen Makoto not an impressive figure to behold. In fact, he is seemingly frail because of his lean, yet fairly muscular build being hidden by his clothing and shorter than average height. Makoto has semi-long pale blond hair that he wears tied up in a ponytail. His eyes are two different colors with the left being a brown color and the right being a lighter hazel hue. He finds his different colored eyes slightly embarrassing so he usually parts his hair and allows his sliver bangs to cover the left side of his face.
His clothing consists of dark, red himmed hamaka with a few decorations on them and simple sandals in terms of lower wear while he wears a vest on his upper body with detachable sleeves. Over his normal attire he often wears a dark hooded cloak to hide his bright hair and the lighter colors of his clothing from view in order for stealth purposes. Complementing his clothing is a hip pouch worn over a half of his rear end wear he stores some of his ninja tools as well as a ninjato sheathed and set horizontally between the hip pouch and his body. He also has a shuriken holster on his left thigh, but chooses not to wear a headband unless needed despite being loyal to his village. Still, he does carry around his head band just incase he does need it.
Personality:
Makoto is a studious young ninja with a passive personality, a gentle demeanor, and a friendly smile. He does his best to take any happenings in stride as well as go with the flow. Kind, patient, understanding, it is almost as if the boy incapable of anger and he even makes an effort to be respectful towards others. He also shows a chivalrous side, believing that men should protect women and not harm them. Makoto is quite talkative as well, so much so that he’ll talk whether those around him are listening or not and even to himself.
Makoto tends to be a bit of a pushover due to his kind nature. Nearly anything can capture his interest, but because of his short attention span rarely does anything hold his interest unless it appeals to him in some form. However, beneath his calm, good natured attitude is a curious mind with a thirst for more knowledge and a determination to understand it. While admirable he has a bad habit of becoming aggravated and withdrawn when something continues to elude his understanding, becoming obsessed over comprehending it.

History:
Makoto didn’t have a significant birth. He wasn’t born to two highly respected ninja or into an influential clan. He was just a mistake that never should have happened. His mother was an escort and his father was a second rate jounin obsessed with becoming invincible. Originally, Makoto would have been abandoned by his mother at childbirth, but his father saw fit that he should have a successor and took responsibility for him. Early on, he proved to be a caring if slightly harsh father. He raised Makoto with extravagant feats he supposedly accomplished and began to train the boy in his image even before sending him to the ninja academy.
However, Makoto’s father’s twisted nature surfaced when the boy joined the academy and started to develop at an alarming rate. His potential was astounding and far surpassed that which his father thought was possible. The man soon saw his own flesh and blood as a eventual threat. Makoto, who had often looked up to his father and strived to become worthy of his acknowledgement, came to resent his father and all he stood for when the man started to openly voice his worries of Makoto’s growth and intimidate the boy during training sessions in an effort to instill a lasting fear within him.
Fearing his father, but refusing to give up the path of the ninja that interested him Makoto began to distance himself. He spent more and more time studying at school, in the libraries, or simply training on his own before going home. His father, driven by a lust for power, trained himself into the ground when not on missions and soon came to shun Makoto completely. Makoto’s ire intensified day by day. The thought of killing his father while he slept wasn’t uncommon within the boy’s mind. However, when he did manage to work up the courage to attempt the feat he was quick to learn that his father never let down his guard. The moment would be burned into his mind as the scariest event in his young life.
After that he threw himself completely into his ninja training. The boy was seemingly unaffected when his father was reported K.I.A. from a mission gone wrong a few months later. Silent, withdrawn, yet showing much promise he drew the attention of a veteran ninja that took him on as an apprentice upon graduating from the academy. The jounin was old, but still strong and very experienced. Makoto flourished under his teachings and slowly opened up to the man expressing his desire to become invincible. In his long life, the old man had become wise and stressed that “invincible was only a word”. Afterward, Makoto lost his anger and developed into the person he is today.
Makoto has recently been promoted to chuunin due to his teacher’s recommendation and his skills being recognized in adequate tests. With his promotion, the old man has stepped down from his rank and retired as a ninja stating that Makoto had to develop on his own from there on.
Notes:
RP Sample:
Makoto let out a tired sigh as the lines of text blurred on the scroll making it impossible for him to continue reading. His hand moved to rub the mental and physical exhaustion from his eyes in order to bring the text back into clarity, but said action yielded little result. In fact, if anything the text seemed to become even more difficult to read. Finally, he gave up on deciphering the unfocused text and collapsed in his spot. Even the hard wood flooring beneath him felt as comfortable as a bed given his exhausted state. His back ached terribly from sitting in one spot for so long.
He stared up blankly at the ceiling, absently noting that the candles that gave him enough light to read also made the shadows dance around him. He began to murmur what he had recently read to himself in an attempt to keep the haze from consuming his mind. However, the words were distant and jumbled even to his own ears. As the the words slowly died on his lips, Makoto's eyes drifted close to allow a comforting blanket of nothingness to cover his mind.
