Character's Physical Description:
Beneath the Clothes:
Gōmon's body is heavily filled with scarred tissue which he has accumulated through the years. He was given a choice to heal those wounds, but decided against it as the scars allows him to not forget those who gave up their life for his survival. His face being the main outlet of pain, its disfiguration has brought his scorn and disgust where ever he went, causing his attitude towards human life dwindle.
His eyes are branded with a cursed sigil, that will bring him eternal misfortune where ever he goes.
Character's Mental Description:
Gomon is a kind being who is willing to sacrifice himself in the face of death just to save other. But as the years went by, his kindness dwindled into a spiralling world of chaos. The people around him, disregarding his existence as a mistake has caused his personality to become more unwilling to voice out his emotions. Also his confidence having taken a heavy blow due to his disfigured face, making him afraid to even talk when necessary.
Deep inside, Gomon is a purehearted human who wishes to start a proper family of his own so he can truly enjoy the familial feeling that has been missing for all these years.
Character History:
From birth Gomon never knew who and where his parents were, but that didn't deter him from having a rich childhood filled with happy memories in the orphanage. But as the years went by, all his "Brothers & Sisters" were adopted while he stayed back......watching everyone around him dwindle in size, eventually leading to the closure of the orphanage. He spent years on the street of Konoha just barely making any money by doing odd jobs, which someday led to him being under the leadership of a bandit group, who used him as a slave.....tortured him.......disfigured his entire body.....branding every slave that comes by with a cursed sigil, to show others that the slaves were theirs.
He made friends with the most unlikely people within the group of slaves, Akio a distraught father captured on his way back from a mission, Akira a hopeless son sold away by his parents to earn money and Daichi an elderly man having reached the brink of his lifetime. The four seemed to build an unusual yet deep bond, the pains of the past slowly slipped out of everyone's throat, causing them to become closer....like family.
The 2 years of pain and suffering felt like an eternity, but he stuck on.....stuck onto the hope of survival all due to his "family", sadly misfortune struck and Daichi had finally succumbed to his wounds, his smile as blissful as ever causing all of us to envy his release from this hell-hole. This envy caused a spark of determination and courage between the remaining three, as they decided that they would finally escape this place.......no matter the cost. The days went by as they meticulously thought out their escape plan, which involved having one of them to play dead and act as bait. Gomon took it upon himself to play that part, so he did, waiting until night settled before he could act his role.....and the bandits being as they were, fell for the trap.
As the lone bandit walked into the cell to observe the "body", the other two who were acting scared jumped onto him, by knocking him out and taking his keys. Unfortunately, the bandit let out a scream of pain before being knocked out causing the entire camp to be alerted and rushing towards their position. The three made it out of the cell and into the forest........they finally could feel the taste of freedom & life......but sadly it was short-lived, as the group of bandits started to slowly gain in on them. Suddenly a swivelling arrow pierced the chest of Akira causing him to collapse. Akio realising what had happened decided stayed back in hopes of being able to hold the bandits off as long as possible, giving Gomon a small silver pendant with a picture of his wife and child in it, asking him to deliver it to his family. Which Gomon unwillingly accepted as he didn't wish for his friend to die......but Gomon knew.....knew that survival cannot be guaranteed without sacrifices. So he quickly placed Akira on his back and started to flee while looking back to see his blood-bonded friend staring at him from a far with a gentle smile on his face, causing an avalanche of tears to erupt from his eyes. Gomon held onto his wits are he ran farther and farther away, the sounds of fighting quietly fading away the deeper the two went in.
After a few hours, a small smile formed on Akira's face as he could feel the life slowly drift from his body, whispering into Gomon's ear to leave him behind, but in the panic Gomon didn't listen and instead continued. Days passed before he had finally reached the road towards Konoha, he shouted in excitement towards Akira.....who had died a few days back due to his wounds causing Gomon to collapse onto the ground in tears. Holding onto the body of his dead friend who he had been carrying all these days while completely disregarding his wounds left a bitter taste of emptiness in his heart.
He stood there for a few minutes, looking at Akira's smiling face....praying that Akira would pass through peacefully to heaven. And continued on his journey on the paved path towards Konoha......what felt like days passed as the gates finally came into view. A large smile filled his face as he limped his way towards the gates before exhaustion finally took over, and he collapsed in front of the gates.
He woke up the next day with a small group of masked shinobi surrounding his bed, asking him about what happened and then departing leaving him in the care of doctors who asked if he wished to be healed of all his external deformities. Gomon flat out rejected that wish.....knowing that these scars are something that will serve as memories to the sacrifices that were made for him, and to never allow others to ever experience the pain he went through.
