Age: 25 Sex: Male Gender: Bisexual Birthday: December 14 Sign: Archer Height: 5’11” Weight: 158 lbs Hair Color: White Eye Color: Azure Physical Description
As much as he would like to say that he has changed, Kiri has barely had any significant changes since waking up in the middle of the forest. And in the span of five years that he was thought lost elsewhere, his features remained the same from when he left, or at least, the last of the memories he could remember.
He still had white hair but his once gold eyes that reflected the surge of power that came Hogosho had somehow clarified and illuminated like the moon, an azure moon. This, he attributes to the refinement of his brother’s soul after years of captive to a curse. Though the soul still resides within him, both brothers have won against fate and regained the aspect of the beast. Not as a curse, but as a blessing. Much to his dismay, he didn’t seem any taller than last time. Still, it really did feel as though it was all just a dream. While he still retains his formal wears of yukata, hakama and haori to the colors and design and crest of the Tsuyoshi Clan, he now is mostly seen wearing a normal all-black coat and parka. He also wears tactical pants and boots that can be loaded out with the many small items needed for emergency treatment. But for longer travels and missions, he still has his handy backpack, a rusty colored water-resistant rucksack with a few of his traveling clothes and emergency treatment medicines. Personality
Post Rampaging Demon Arc
A lot has happened since Kiri became a Mednin-in-training. He now has more patience than ever, especially with having to deal with different types of people. He has also become more observant. At the same time, his awareness towards himself has also grown. While the events that followed the rampaging of his beast in the academy grounds have left him with guilt and almost wracked with doubts, Kiri was able to come into terms with himself and his past. Kiri has also somehow learned to be sharp-tongued though he does choose whom he would approach that way. In the beginning One would think that his ordeal with the Cursed Beast of Ruin had scarred Kiri, but that is only the normal presumption. Due to the nature of the beast, formed from the soul of an ancestor (his older brother to be precise), Kiri was able to retain his sanity despite the rage and torment that is naturally bound to the Cursed Beast of Ruin. Partly, this is because of learning of the beast's true identity and acceptance. Having been isolated for years, this beast became his sole companion and in a way comfort. That said, he is very trusting to the decisions of the beast, though despite the accursed nature, any means of violence and aggression is curbed by the pride and honor of the original soul of the beast. Nevertheless, such violence is present when forced to engage in battle. As such, to aid in his own attempts to keep silent and peaceful as much as possible, Kiri tends to avoid conflict and decided to pursue the arts of healing. In other aspects, he can be very meek and naive due to the fact that he had been isolated for many years, and his short journey with caravans he met could only teach him a few things about survival, but not everything one should at least know for his age. Despite that, he is quite the eager and determined guy, since he believes that he should deal with his life in his own way. As such, surprisingly, he harbours no hatred for his former family (for now, he only thinks of the beast as the only family he has), which may also mean he could be a bit skeptical about others. Nonetheless, because of his own desire not to let others feel the suffering of dying (an experience he learned and shared with the beast’s memories of his death as a human being), he is more inclined towards healing than killing. Still, that does not erase the fact that he has a demon inside of him and that he is ruthless when forced upon. History Born into one of the branch families of the Hasegawa Clan, Kiri had to adhere to the strict rules of the family. He did not possess a Cursed Beast of Creation as a child and so he was considered among the few of lower importance, with the family still believing that one day he would awaken to his fated Cursed Beast. However, when that fated day did arrive, everyone was aghast that the beast he contained was the Cursed Beast of Ruin alone. Fearing for the worst, and knowing that it could lead to his death, his mother tried to hide the truth and for many years, it worked. One day, however, his father would reveal the truth in order to preserve their family's honor, thus, Kiri was placed in an isolated house, seemingly imprisoned as the Main Family would debate on his fate. While in the past, those born without the Cursed Beast of Creation were treated harshly and even put to death, Kiri was fortunate to remain alive because of his young age, though isolated from the rest of the clan.
Without proper tutelage on how to restrain the Cursed Beast of Ruin's influence, there were many instances that he lost control. Trapped in his soulscape, Kiri would confront the Beast that forms itself in the shape of a large wolf covered in mist and plated with armor. In its terrifying form, often accompanied by the wailings of grief, rage and desire for vengeance or simply destruction, it was inevitable for the young Kiri to succumb and lose his sanity. Many times would he lash out like a wild animal to those that deliver his food. But something changed. Like all cursed beasts, whether of creation or ruin, they are formed from the souls of ancestors of the Hasegawa lineage. Their true identity is mostly unknown until both the host and the beast would finally come to an understanding. This is why it is favourable to have both beasts as to create peace within the Hasegawa. In Kiri’s case, however, without the absence of the Cursed Beast of Creation, no one had any hope of his well-being nor would they believe that one day he would attain such a peace. Which ended up making him all the more dangerous as they could only see a nefarious aura about him, even when he was externally calm. The reason for this strange acceptance was because the beast had devoured him in his soulscape, and there he learned of the beast’s true identity, as well as releasing the curse on the said beast that allowed for it to regain its own past memories. Here, he learned of the man who was born before him, yet died a horrible death on the hands of his father on the very day that Kiri was born. This was a man who, along with the others who were cast aside for their incompleteness of having only the Beast of Ruin, had been sentenced to death, and so it would only be right that he would be reincarnated into the same beast that changed his fate. But this man was far closer to him than first appeared, for what was reflected on Kiri’s eyes was no longer the shape of the wolf of vengeance, but that of a man who looked a lot like him, albeit older. One day, his father visited him, trying to plead with him to speak after the many days of silence and not touching his food. The clan was of the mind that he was no longer human at this stage and mercy would only come through execution. It was a strangely familiar recourse. “Father, you never spoke of my brother, did you?” said Kiri, which surprised the old man who sat safely behind the bars of the isolated house. “You have no such brother. You are my only heir.” “No, I don’t think so. My beast said he was born before me,” he continued as he observed the old man’s face grow pale, “But died on the day I was born. He was saved because his soul found sanctuary in mine. However, we both recall the pain of the blade that cut through our neck, the tears that swelled up our eyes, and the last glance upon our father who struck us down without remorse.” “That can’t be!” “Will you be the one the clan sends to kill me again?” It was an ominous conversation but Kiri never spoke another word to his father again, no matter how much the other pleaded, denied at first and then finally relented to the truth. Inside him, he was angry, sad, and he felt like the world was against him. There was only him and his beast of a brother that lived inside, and his soulscape was the only place he could be free. When he finally reached of age, old enough to be treated an adult, the clan had to finally decide his fate. He, too, found chaos inside his heart, and he could only want to break free. But as the day of his execution drew near, he found that his desperation weakened. Strangely enough, his brother’s words, the comforting presence of the beast, was soothing at the face of death. Then, he finally surrendered himself, ready to be killed. It was just luck, and perhaps his own fate, when his father managed to plead his case. He did not want to kill son again, and no one in the clan could find any reason to execute Kiri as the days leading to it showed nothing of the sort of disastrous curse of the beast of ruin. Thus, they stripped him of his name, his claim to the clan, branded him an outcast, carving a sign across the pale of his back– one that would show his unfortunate stance– and then threw him out from the safety of their home. Abandoned in the wilderness, blinded at first, only to be able to see after the effects of the jutsu washed away, Kiri would find himself alone. With no knowledge of the outside world, nor things to help for his survival, he was pretty much sentenced to death in a natural way. However, the beast of ruin would guide him, and he would struggle to survive in this strange world beyond his clan. Meeting people, fighting with people, being taught in his soulscape, Kiri would manage to find himself in a different country, accompanying one of the many caravans he would temporarily join. And in this new country, past the marshes, he would find himself in a large port. He did not know what to do until one of the drunk caravan members suggested he stay and try to conquer the country. Of course, drunks were silly, but another spoke that this country was as strong as the others, and that here, people were tested for their skill and not their identity. It sounded too good to be true, but Kiri was getting tired of moving and moving without a destination, so he was at a bind. One night, as he joined the men to tavern, he would hear more tales about this country’s heritage, its power, its legacy, and he couldn’t help but dream what it would feel like to leave amongst the clouds. And only then did he decide that perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to try and figure it out. “I never caught your name, boy,” said the caravan master as he gave Kiri some extra money for his journey. “Hase-… uh… Kiri. Just Kiri,” he would answer before finally leaving for that so-called village amongst the clouds. Life in Kumogakure wasn’t as easy as Kiri thought. Then again, he hadn’t lived life normally to even have a good grasp of what was normal, and his nomadic experience with the caravan was also quite different. Here, in the village amongst the clouds, the community was quite alive and large that he first felt a bit suffocated. He had to adjust with the way the people moved about, the way they talked, the way they lived. All in all, he had to try and blend in like everybody else, which did not go so well when he almost always ended up with fights as his demonic tendency (that is, the influence of the cursed beast within him), no matter how close he was to his brother by now, would inevitably make such aggressive behaviour rather appealing. Fortunately, it helped him in his journey as he joined the academy. Their, even if his contemporaries were younger than he was, they had the skill and technique, as well as family backing to help them. All he had was himself and the cursed beast, and it was enough to pull through. Still, despite the challenges he had faced, and there are likely more to come as he could already feel that he would need to improve in so many areas even after leaving the academy, he thought it was a form of freedom. This was a path he chose, and he was willing and welcoming to take in all that would face him, may they be success or failure. Only then would he grow. Growing stronger would entail that he would be able to fight for the freedom he desired, but he was also very much aware of the danger it possessed. As much as he was more expected to be a frontliner in the battlefield, he found it more soothing to follow the line of those med-nins he’d seen in the village. He always thought it was a way for him to show that there could be good things that come from being born with just one cursed beast, that of ruin, and at the same time, he found the profession quite dignified. Though merciless during battles, he was still quite taken about the idea of being able to save others. Still, one may say that Kiri still has ways to go to truly know what he desires to be, or that he is still quite naive of the realities of the world, but his journey has only begun. Training to be a medical ninja was taking a toll on Kiri’s psyche. It wasn’t just the mental frustration, but also the physical frustrations that he had to deal with. However, unknowingly, he had been suppressing such frustrations that when his past finally catches up with him through dreams and visions, he loses control over himself. Despite the seals and the third eye that he had been given by Junko and Osu, respectively, his beast became enraged with his doubts fuelling the demonic aura until he could no longer keep it together. It led to a disastrous fight at the Academy Grounds which left Hoshi in a critical condition in the hospital and Kiri arrested and placed in prison where he was to wait for his fate. Fortunately, with the help from Osu, Junko and Ayumu, he was able to come into terms with his doubts and was able to finally make a decision that he had been trying to avoid all these years, which was to accept himself without limiting his future. Thus, with a newfound resolve, Kiri would set off to train with Junko with an unwavering determination to gain control of his power and protect his family, which was now Kumogakure. In addition, he would be formally adopted into the Tsuyoshi Clan, though he is still hesitant to use the family name because of the incident which he fears may end up tainting the reputation of the clan.
Relationships:
Osuteno - Mentor. He respects Osu like an older brother figure and goes to lengths to prove his worth to the other. He's the first person in Cloud that Kiri opens himself up to, especially with his past on the Hasegawa Clan.
Tsuyoshi Junko - Adoptive father. He took in Kiri as one of his own in Tsuyoshi Manor and has long been a supportive pillar. Shrinya Kahako - Adoptive mother. Once just an outsider who looks out for Kiri, she adopted Kiri after saving him during his most troubled times when the curse was trying to takeover once more and Kiri committed suicide. Somehow, Kahako managed to save his soul, met the memories of his biological mother, and took her place as the one to raise him as her own child after the incident. Kogami Ayumu - Former Raikage and adoptive father. As Kahako's husband, Ayumu also took in Kiri under his wing, though their relationship was wrought with something deeper in the past. Kiri had once rampaged when his Jinchuu took over and Ayumu had almost called for his execution because of the incident. After that incident, Kiri has pledge loyalty and looked up to Ayumu from afar, bettering his ways. Kagetsu Yui - Former Main Branch Sennin and strict teacher. Kiri was always fascinated by Yui's ability to lead the Main Branch and had since tried his hand to become a teacher for the academy. He does a few hiccups and gets lectured by Yui, but nevertheless, she also encourages him to do his best. Kaji - Shadow. He was a mysterious individual that Kiri only knew from afar, but when he became the ANBU Sennin, Kiri couldn't help but get intrigued. In the end, he somehow felt a connection with the man and silently kept to himself though admiring him from afar. Perhaps it was this that helped him decide to take Kahako's offer to join as an understudy in the Sentou Henkan. Kouin - The Temporal Enigma. At first, their relationship was one of mentor and mentee, but after finding his mother's diary, Kiri came to learn that Kouin was relative. He has kept this secret from the man ever since, not wanting to confront him, but an incident forced his hand to fight against Kouin. When his doubts and desperation took over, Kiri almost lost to the will of the Jinchuu's curse. In an attempt to stop from rampaging again, he planned to commit seppuku. Shouyu Hoshi - Friend. At first, he thinks Shouyu is a reckless brat who is too naive about the world, but soon warms up to him and feels like he needs to protect and educate the boy about the harsh reality of the world. Tries to act like an older brother to him. | Custom Class: Mugen HP: (65+lvl) x stamina CP: (40+lvl) x chakra control Class Bonus: Kinjutsu-Jinchuuriki (Holy), +2 HP mod High: Ninjutsu Acc Average: Evasion, Genjutsu Save Low: Range Acc, Melee Acc, Gen DC PL: 3,600 ASP: 817 CL: 15 OoC: S HP: 49,200 CP: 33,000 IC Rank: Mednin Agility: 600/600 Stamina: 600/600 Taijutsu: 600/600 Ninjutsu: 600/600 Genjutsu: 600/600 Chakra Control:600/600 Abilities: - Physician (Med Branch Free)
