Name: Aburame Ryujou
Age: 10
Physical Description: Ryujou is a sticky little boy. Standing at 1.3 meters and weighing a tad over kilograms, he is a bit smaller than his peers. He is most commonly dressed in the trademark high-collared jacket and dark sunglasses like the rest of his clanmates, albeit fairly honey stained. The rest of his appearance is largely obscured by the sunglasses and jacket, which reaches down to his knees. What is visible of his face seems fairly pale, as though he isn’t outdoors fairly much.
Mental Description: Due to his familial circumstances, Ryujou is a largely quiet boy who doesn’t interact well with others of his same age. He in keen to get along with others though and prefers to nervously observe situations before getting involved so that he doesn’t make mistakes – a trait that extends to most of his other actions. Through his upbringing, he doesn’t have any real ambitions, thinking mostly for the short term. The one thing that he is passionate about is honey and bees.
History: Born into the Aburame clan, Ryujou lived a very bland childhood. He grew up with his equally bland father and separately they did very bland things. Though his father was of the prestigious Aburame clan, he worked in the Hokage’s office doing office work. His father worked long office hour shifts and he was generally left on his own. Worrying that his son would become a social outcast, Aburame was soon sent to the academy.
Bloodline Application: Ryujou was born to the Aburame clan of the Leaf village. Upon his birth, as is tradition in the clan, he was seeded with the insects that had made the clan so widely known. As a youth, Ryujou had to learn to adapt to the insects within him, the endless buzzing within himself forming a dislike of his own bugs. While having a distaste for his own insects, the young Aburame still had a passion for insects as many of his clan had. What separated his passion from the others however was his insects of choice.
Ryujou had a love for bees (and honey).
This was an odd development that formed a rift between the young Aburame and the rest of his clan. Having a dislike for their own insects was already distasteful, but expected of childhood rebellion; the bees were a very unwelcome change from the norms. While the young Aburame refused to conform, his social status in the clan only continued to suffer. His own insects had begun to start ignoring orders, Ryujou’s hatred of them beginning to become mutual. These changes were not something the clan had dealt with before in the past, the child having such a confliction with the clan’s insects. The clan’s elders however saw a potential solution with the child, and the boy was summoned to be integrated with insects anew.
His ceremony at the age of 6 years old was another oddity, but the clan understood the necessity of it, the boy was not coping and needed help. The clan’s elders however did something unorthodox. Instead of integrating the Aburame’s insects with the boy again, they instead allowed in bees. Bees from their all but forgotten rivals, the Kamizuru Clan.
The combination of the two-different species within the same child was at first appearing as a failure, the young boy being bedridden as the insects conflicted inside him, both attempting to drain chakra while fighting the others. One day however, the boy appeared completely fine, if still the odd child he normally was. Upon examination, they discovered that the bees had apparently become victorious. What had happened was however slightly different, while the insects had warred, the bees had begun to adapt from the environment the Aburame’s own insects had formed in the child. When Ryujou rebegan his trainings as an Aburame, while the clan was initially suspicious of how fruitful the results would be, they were surprised by Ryujou’s coordination with the new insects, the bees adapting to follow the secret arts of the Aburame almost seamlessly.
It was at last that Ryujou managed to adapt to the Aburame’s arts … if in an unorthodox fashion. While the bee loving child had finally found his way, his place in the clan would remain an oddity for his choices.
