Name: Endo Eiji (Goes by 'Ji' [Gee])Age: 13
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Gender: Male
Village: Kumogakure
Physical Description:
Standing at Five feet and five inches in height, Eiji was born a thick lad; in terms of his skin and build. Though as he grew older he began to grow into his body. It was said when he was born, his back was seemingly made of titanium. He was an unbreakable kid and it showed in his body type and size. His eyes are a dark caramel just like his skin with a hint of milk chocolate. He likes to wear his hair in different styles, often going from a natural afro, to loose locked hair and everything in between. He is a bit larger than normal for his age, but most people in his clan have slightly above average builds.
Mental Description:
Mental fortitude is something that Eiji doesnt lack. Period. He was born into a tandem of parents that didnt allow him to slack. Even pulling him from the academy until he was truly ready for what it would take to be a warrior. He spent two years simply training his mind through meditations and such as well as recovering from trauma and loss that he'd dealt with that ultimately made him more quiet than he'd been previously. Eiji is still a kind hearted boy, always trying to do whats best for everyone. He only wishes the best for his family and friends. He's a good soul, a kid with a fire in his belly that only wants the best for others, and the ambition to push himself to heights his family have never seen... to be the first of his clansmen do anything was his goal. His father paved a way... but in Eiji's heart he would blast through it. <i></i>
History:
Endo Eiji was born to Endo Sanji and Mariya, his father and mother respectively. Eiji's father was the second son, but the third child, of the Head of the Clan and his mother was an outlayer who came from just outside of the borders of Kumogakure. The Endo Clan, known for their Doton Specialists, were a small clan of Dark Skinned people, led by Endo Datsuji. On the day of Eiji's birth he would be acknowledged as the Tenth in Line of succession to becoming the Clan Head when he became of age. It would be noted that Eiji's Mother was First Cousin to Inu Endo, something that would come up in Eiji's life later on.
From an early age, it could be seen that Eiji was meant for great things in his life, his first word was 'Kunai', but alas, he was a boy that looked for his path. Always the independent boy he would begin trying to be a shinobi like his father watching him and admiring him in every facet of his life. Though, because he admired his father did not mean he walked his father's path. Eiji wanted to be a shinobi who sought to be better, stronger, and more respected than his father which meant what his father was doing would not be sufficient for what Eiji wished to accomplish. The boy had an ambition that flourished unlike anything imaginable for his age, but he was still so much younger than the others that were already training in the academy...
Eiji ended up joining the academy at the age of ten, under the tutelage of a Shinobi by the name of Kinaku Bazu, he was a mentor for the boy and a friend of his father's and a member of the Main Branch in Kumogakure. His rank of Chuunin seemed to match Eiji's father but Bazu always seemed to be a better fighter than Sanji. Which made Eiji want to learn more about him and how he would overcome his father. Through Bazu, Eiji would go through his first year of the academy in a swift breeze. Learning strategy through Chess, Shogi, and even a Naval game that taught the boy tactics, survival, and being a leader. Though, one day Bazu went on a mission only to never come back the same... becoming paralyzed from the waist down from a mission. He became calloused and destructive, which ultimately drove him to take his own life.
Eiji, was destroyed by this, but his parents knew if they let him drown in his sorrow he would never come out of it and would sulk away the training and effort that he'd put into becoming a great shinobi of Kumo. So they pulled him from the Academy so he would be able to recover. And he did... with the help of his father, he would begin to understand what it truly meant to be a shinobi, what it meant to be strong, and to truly gain the grips of reality that in order to fulfill the promises he'd made himself and to Bazu, that he would have to work diligently. Because Hardwork would overcome any natural talent he would be faced against.
So, after two long years, Eiji would retool himself and would rejoin the academy... stepping through those halls, all of the people he'd been friends with had already graduated and begun their shinobi-hood. Eiji was playing catch up, and he would be prepared to do anything to make sure he made his family proud... He was an Endo. And this would be the Age of Eiji. <i></i>
