~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Sakurai Ryo

Village: Kumo

Clan: N/A

Age: 11 and some months

~Appearance~

-Height: 4'10"

-Weight: 80

-Hair Color: Light brown

-Eye Color: Dark brown

-Clothing: He dresses in dark, earth-tone colors, but mostly green. The style of clothing tends to vary, but he seems to prefer shorts to pants (due to a particular spar with a friend, during which he tripped over the long legs of his pants and thoroughly embarrassed himself).

-Physical Description: Ryo has a normal tan from spending most of his time outside, being with his friends or training. He is less muscled than some boys his age, which accounts for his weakness in Taijutsu. There are a few scars on his body, small nothings from accidental cuts that went a little too deep.

Story/Background: Ryo is fortunate to have two living parents, but sometimes he is secretly disappointed by them. Some people are the offspring of prodigies, of legends, or at the very least, someone who has earned a good reputation in the village. Both parents are more than capable fighters, but their personal quirks leave something to be desired. In general, they lack certain social skills and always seem awkward when interacting with others, which often leads to them being perceived as a bit strange.

Ryo never wanted to be the best ninja in the village, merely one that people noticed and respected (as opposed to being viewed as his parents were), which is not the best motivation. He always had many acquaintances, but uses the word 'friend' sparingly, and only in his own mind -- he would never risk a confrontation. He's glad he was able to begin such relationships before his peers were old enough to be too judgmental. This is a crucial time in his life, as he is about to begin "real" training and he is only beginning to grow up. He still has a lot of time to change, to acquire new reasons for doing what he does, to have new goals and dreams. Of course, that's assuming he realizes that his "friends" might not always be his friends, and that being himself doesn't automatically mean that he'll be ridiculed.

Personality: Not so much a "go-with-the-flow" type as a "change-with-the-flow" type, he tries to keep in control of a situation as much as possible, but then forces himself to adapt if/when it spirals out of control. Because he's continuously trying to change himself to fit different situations, he's very out of touch with himself, and therefore tries to make up for it by surrounding himself with others who are unique and confident. This is also due to a slight inferiority complex.

Very energetic and extroverted on the surface, while much more reserved inside; likewise, Ryo is prone to making rash decisions in a crowd and taking more time to think them over when he's alone. Hopefully, as time goes by, he will learn to be himself more often and stand up to his companions. He wants to be a medic-nin in order to become more useful.

Likes: Confident people. Knowledge. When people depend on him. Loyalty.

Dislikes: Over-confident people. Dogs (but, for some odd reason, not wolves). Arguing/fighting with people he cares about.

~Favorite~ (What's your character's favorite…)

-Food: Almost anything spicy, though he has a very low tolerance for it.

-Color: Yellow

-Book Genre: Historical fiction, and even some nonfiction

[Azure]

if i did my math right, he would end up with 2 skill points left over, because the points cancel each other out, now if you're allowed to have that many skillsto start with, i don't know

[Guest Sweet Neodaddy]

You're allowed as many skill points as hindrance permits. Six hindrances to start.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sorry. Fixed that.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It says that you are given a +2 to begin with. That's what the "automatic: +2" means. I apologize if that wasn't clear. I added the descriptions, as well.

[Guest kuratg]

How come, instead of writing out your character's name in his history/personality, you've got 'Name'? xD I'm guessing you forgot to edit that out.

[Guest Uncreative Username]

Yikes. I edited so much that I overlooked the most obvious thing... ><;;

[Guest Uncreative Username]

I don't mean to seem impatient, but I'd like to bring attention to the fact that it's been three days since anyone has posted in this topic. (If I still need to edit something, please don't hesitate to ask.)

[Cloudnine]

Imma not a modmin. XP But good job.

Everything looks great, its literate, exceptional vocabulary. ^^

Just...check out my sig. Shirahime's not related to your character in any way.

[Guest Uncreative Username]

Is there a reason this topic has been ignored for another five days? (Should I be PMing someone about this?)

Agh. I apologize if I seem rude or annoying. I understand that mods have lives outside of the forum and all of that. ><;;;

[Guest Sweet Neodaddy]

PM a modmin.

[Rei]

Tip: Unless you plan on becoming a medical Shinobi don't dabble in their skills.

People have lives unless you find a way to draw their attention they won't bother looking.

Mmm...Rei does have a point. Unless you're going full medic, it's not advised to take medic stuff. Otherwise, approved.
