Name: Nataya, Ryuma
Physical Description: Ryuma is a about your average sized 8 year old. Coming in at around 4ft 6in in height and weighing around 60lbs. Though he is young he is very fit as he spends a large portion of his time training himself according to his clans rules. His hair said to be the only other feature of his mothers is of a very light pearl color that said to range in color according to the lighting. Going from a dull pink to white to even showing up as turquoise on a rare occasion or two. Being in a clan that sports training as everything Ryuma is not given the luxury of wearing whatever he wants. He owns a few pairs of casual loose clothes for days at the academy otherwise he is constantly wearing tight fitting active wear, or armor. The only thing that never leaves his side is the sword given to him on his 6th birthday. Though it is sealed shut and he has never unsheathed it, this weapon goes with him everywhere.
Mental Description: Ryuma could be said to be cold and calculating even as a child. He puts his own interests and desire before others even at this young of an age, and show no remorse should this cause pain or issues with others. Despite this trait for some reason he always has a crowd following him and people seem to adore him. Ryuma being raised to constantly be training is always on edge even as a child and has learned early on how to take advantage of another when they show weakness. Even when appearing happy or relaxed he is still always watching and waiting.
History:Nataya, Ryuma born to Nataya, Maru and Ryu, Misake. Maru being the current head of the Nataya clan and Misake being a woman who was kidnapped by Maru’s actual wife in an attempt to bring him a child of promise. Misake, hailed from a clan that was said to have a hidden potential and amazing promise. A clan supporting a bloodline so rare that even the heads of the sand village would bow before them just for possessing it. This is what drove Maru’s wife to seek out a woman from the clan.
The Nataya clan had been in decline for years. They sprouted out like weeds, but like weeds they were nothing but large in number. They held no true power, no bloodline, and most certainly not a truly skilled member amongst them. As such the clan became somewhat of a scourge, something to be ashamed of. Though never officially proven as criminals the clan heavily relies on criminal activity in order to boost themselves in status. Ranging anywhere from kidnaping, stealing, or even murder. Yet despite all this the only thing the Nataya’s have proven is they are good at covering up crimes. Not once have the Nataya actually managed to gain an advantage or power by their activities.
Maru the current head of the clan was no exception. He married a common woman from sand whom had no special trait other than a lust for power and a keen mind. Together the two of them gave birth to two children. These children were the joys of their lives, but alas they possessed no inherit talent much like the rest of the Nataya. This is when Maru’s wife decided it was time to start seeking out other ways of obtaining special abilities for her husband, and the clans dream. The first act from her was to kidnap Misake a woman from a clan shrouded in mystery said to possess some ancient power. The woman was held captive and forced to give birth to a child, named Ryuma. After his birth it was revealed that Misake’s clan possessed no special traits and were normal just like everyone else. This sent Maru into a fury and he killed Misake. However, not wanting to make his wife’s effort be vain he trained the young boy harshly from a very young to become the best ninja he could be.
Ryuma was subject to not only intense training and beating had he not complied, but his older siblings bullied him and were encouraged to do so. As he was the black sheep and major disappointment of the family. Training was basic to start, learn to throw kunai, learn to fist fight, learn to throw shurikien, and learn how to control chakra. All these things came quickly to Ryuma, but despite his fast learnings and adaptability he was constantly scorned for not being good enough. If he would master a basic, then the task would turn into mastering something impossible.
Seven years into life and all Ryuma knew was training and beatings, but that suddenly changed when Maru’s had a set of twins. The twins possessed some innate power that awed the clan and everyone adored them. To everyone they were the golden ticket the clan needed to get out the hole they had dug. Their birth maybe Ryuma’s life even more of a hell. It was no longer training and beatings, but just beatings from both his father and older brothers. Though he did keep up his training whenever they weren’t paying attention to him. As this was his only means of escape from the life that he was born into.
A year passed, and it was almost time for him to start in academy. In fact, the date was just a month away. In the courtyard he trained with a wooden spear as he normally did. Alone and quiet as to catch the ire of the clan. The sweat rolled down his brow as he danced throughout the courtyard practicing different fighting styles with the staff. It was noon and the sun shone down directly upon him, slowly the heat rose and so did his exhaustion. From within the house laughter is heard as his two older brothers chase each other around and play fight eventually ending up in the courtyard.
“Hahahaha. Ryuma’s at it again.” The oldest chuckled mockingly as he pointed to his younger brother Ryuma who continued with his training without batting an eye.
“Stupid Ryuma, thinks he will become something.” The older but younger brother spoke as he spat at Ryuma. In that moment Ryuma lashed out and attacked the slightly older brother.
The strike came fast and quickly put his brother into the dirt out cold. The oldest angered by this attacked Ryuma with intent to kill. Ryuma’s mind was clear as he watched the older move in the same pattern he had for years. Years of beatings from them made them predictable now, in fact even when the oldest tried something knew Ryuma seemed prepared for it, and with no emotional affliction to mess with his mind the fight was all but decided. With a few swift motions Ryuma was able to not only disable his oldest brother but he also did some serious damage. The oldest suffered from several broken limbs and spine, and the youngest a concussion. Though Ryuma did not fear the backlash from his father he expected it, yet what he received was a surprised. Maru for the first time in all of Ryuma’s life offered to give Ryuma anything he wanted, and he would get to sit at the table for dinner for the first time. To Maru this should Ryuma had more promise at least more promise than his older children, and at the end of the day Maru’s only interest is to make his clan have power.
