Name: Miyamoto Hiroshi
Village Affiliation: Sand
Branch: ANBU
Rank: AiT
Character Age: 25 yo
Gender: (Mostly) Straight
Sex: Male
Towering over others at an impressive 6 ft 8 in and 255 lbs, Hiroshi's massive stature alone makes all but the most hardened of shinobi falter in their steps. His sun-kissed skin bears an abundance of scars--relics of his rambunctious youth--most of which are proudly worn as mementos of his indomitable tenacity through the years. His proudest embellishments are not wounds, however; they are instead gray-scale tattoos depicting open eyes located on the palms of his hands and in the middle of his chest.
Oddly enough for a natural-born native of the arid Kaze no Kuni, he is able to grow out his facial and body hair at an alarmingly fast rate, and as such he opts to trim and style his beard and sideburns rather than shave them off constantly (his mustache is a different story as he would prefer not to have a mouthful of his own mustache while eating). He also grooms the dark brown hair on top of his head so that all of it kept fairly short save for a twin set of bangs framing his hair line.
Of course, Hiroshi does not run about without any clothes whatsoever; he favors attire that is functional for his ANBU profession as opposed to fashionable among the Sunagakure elite, opting to wear a khaki outfit consisting of a sleeveless loose fitting hoodie, a pair of loose fitting breeches, and Greco-Roman-styled sandals.

Despite constantly battling the entity known as Unmei within him for his own bodily autonomy, Hiroshi remains relatively calm and collected most of the time--'relatively' in this instance referring to his intolerance for willful ignorance (or, in layman's terms, blatant stupidity) and the aggravation such idiocy causes him.
However, when under extreme duress (such as in a life-or-death situation), it is not entirely unlikely that he will experience a sort of psychosis as he starts losing himself to Unmei. During such episodes, he will start mumbling to himself (or rather he and Unmei will begin conversing externally rather than internally) and, while not so detached from reality that can't be reasoned with, he may possibly respond to any attempted interaction--friendly or otherwise--with aggression. In conjunction with his strong sense of self-awareness during these moments, these rare occurrences, for better or for worse, prove to leave lasting impressions on both Hiroshi and the lives he touches.

Much like Zansatsu, Unmei was also once a powerful demonic entity that predates civilization and perhaps humanity itself. However, whereas Zansatsu wishes to incite the apocalypse upon the world so he can revel in wanton destruction and mayhem, Unmei merely seeks an end to civilization so that all living beings may continue to adapt instead of becoming complacent with the stagnancy of society.
The Miyamoto clan dates back as far as the Sentama Clan and the days of Primus and the first men, and as such it should come as no surprise that both Unmei and Zansatsu share similar fates; whereas Zansatsu had been originally sealed with Sentama Reikazu and eventually Akatora Shin to further the pursuit of power by Father Soma, Unmei was sealed within Hiroshi by his own clan to keep the demonic entity guarded against Soma and the remainder of the Makaibatsu Cult. Hiroshi, though willing to bear host to the Dread Wolf, is still learning how to tame the savage beast within him.
Born into the Miyamoto clan to two loving parents, Hiroshi's childhood in Kaze no Kuni was fairly bland until one day at the age of six he was abducted by Makaibatsu cultists. Although the Miyamoto clan was swift to rescue the boy, the whole ordeal awakened the dormant Unmei within Hiroshi, provoking the young boy to go into a tantrum of titanic proportions while in the custody of his clan. Finally, his grandfather--the clan elder--contacted the Kazekage and his Steward and requested that Hiroshi be enrolled within the academy there so that he can learn to tame and harness the power of the Dread Wolf . . . or at least be contained by those more experienced in such matters.
While attending the academy, the fledgling student trained vigorously at the Throne of Bone and revived the Way of Infinite Intuition, which subsequently enabled him to utilize any corporeal weapon more effectively so long as additional mental effort was applied. Eventually, he used his newfound martial prowess and mental discipline to graduate into the ranks of the ANBU as an AiT at the age of twelve.
