Background

Prologue – Sunyin Port
Mako was born the youngest of fraternal twins on August 12, 2104 under the banner of Konohagakure. The son of Kurama and Chiaki Sarutobi, his first few years of life would be pleasant until the attack of Kumogakure. After the death of his father during the initial stand against Kumo, his mother Chiaki had moved the family to her hometown of Sunyin Port. Spending all of his life at the port city, they avoided the brunt of Kumo and the NCIA from conception to collapse. At the age of six, Mako's twin, Kairi had fell into the harbor on accident while playing ninja. While she would be saved and would recover, she had developed a rare illness that had caused her to lose much of her hearing and limit her severely in her day-to-day life. In 2114, the untimely death of his sister had greatly affected Mako. While not becoming an angry and brooding youth, he would become much more difficult and introverted. At the age of eleven, Mako would continue a quiet life with his mother in Sunyin Port, away from the influences of shinobi in Konohagakure. While his life was rather normal, a fateful encounter with a child by the name of Naminé would change his life forever. In a similar turn of events, Naminé fell into the harbor after playing ninja. Jumping into the harbor as soon as he did, Mako was able to rescue the child before any further damage could be sustained. Being a catalyst in the altering of events that had occurred this time, Naminé had become a catalyst in Mako deciding to follow the path of the ninja; calling him "her hero". Much like his twin sister Kairi, Mako decided that in order to protect people like Naminé and his late sister, the path from within Konoha would enable him to become a ninja; a hero. As a late entrant into the Leaf Academy at the start of 2116, Mako's journey would finally begin.

Personality

As an adolescent, Mako is oddly relaxed for his age. However, this does not remove the fact that he is still a boy with very little life experience, leading to a naive outlook on the world around. Despite losing his twin sister, he had never truly become brooding or stand offish. Instead, he remains quiet but with a positive outlook in most situations. This isn't to say that he is immune to external irritants but certainly, the springtime of youth is upon him. All things said, Mako does have the odd knack for easily agreeing with other people's opinions or decisions and then in a most bothersome way, just as easily go his own way if deemed necessary. Though this nature has a way of creating problems for himself, he tends to forget most negative things that happen, including things that he has said or done.

Appearance

A bit of a sore thumb. Mako holds distinct features of both parents.His father being of the Sarutobi clan in Konoha, had bestowed to him a frame of athletic potential and unruly hair. While his mother tracing her ancestry to the Lightning Country since the time of the fourth shinobi world war. Had gifted unto him dense textured hair, green eyes, and a catalyst in the higher melanin count in his skin. Mako is a unique blend of Fire and Lightning heritages, even with his mother being a century removed from her ancestor country. All the while having the natural look of displeasure strewn across his face, even if he is not displeased at all.

• Casual: Typically seen in loose fitting tops and jogger type trousers. The fabric and materials that make up his clothing vary from time to time but his preference for single layer clothing and comfortable trousers is the overall theme of his appearance. Coupled together with practical footwear for play and everyday activity; Mako can be described as very low maintenance.
