Otani Ryuichi
Age
</I>13
<i></i>Physical Description
Body
Taking mostly after his father, Ryuichi has tanned skin commonly seen in the cloud as well as his white hair, and sandy brown eyes that match that of aging paper.
His physique it nothing special for a starting nin. Lean, and healthy and showing early stages of muscle development. He has a large scar that trails from his left ankle all the way up to above the side of his kneecap caused from an accident that almost ruined his hopes of being a nin. Luckily it all healed enough to not hinder his movement. His posture also changes depending on the situation. when not fighting, or doing his duties he tends to slouch, and practically drag his body around to move. However, whenever he turns serious he instantly straightens up. His slouch becomes a solid, straight posture where he can move his body freely, and show off his above-average height of 167 cm.

Mental Description
<i></i>Though most would call him the cheery, and confident type who doesn't take any nonsense, anyone who gets to know him understands that he spends almost every moment thinking ten steps ahead of every waking moment, scanning his surroundings, making sure nothing nearby could break and hurt someone, and things along those lines. Due to a life-threatening accident in his early childhood he believes any accident that happens when he's nearby could have been prevented, and his incompetence makes him guilty. This mindset has him always in in a state of caution, and extreme stress and urges him to become faster, stronger, and more reliable for the ones he cares about.
<i></i>Likes/dislikes
<i></i>He enjoys spicy foods like nothing else, and puts things like chili flakes on anything. He also greatly enjoys bitter foods, and dislikes most sweets.
His favorite color is red, since his mother's journal consistently mentions it was her own.
He has a loathing hatred for anyone who thinks lightly of companionship. Anyone who betrays a friend, or a sibling in arms is trash to him. He will go out of his way to make this known. However on the other end of the scale he has great respect for those who are selfless, and strives to be like them.

hopes/drams/ambitions
<i></i>Ryuishi has a burning desire to simply prevent the destruction of someone's future. Being in a near-death experience has made him value what the future holds, and gave him the thirst to make the best of it. He does not want to see someone else's life to be ruined like his almost was. Though many suggest a good role for him would be to aim for Raikage, he thinks he lacks the leadership ability and the fact that he may never reach that point of strength.

History
<i></i>Parents
<i></i>His father was an everyday man named Otani Kai. A simple man with simple dreams of having a calm, relaxing life away from ninja, and their magic-like abilities.
He was a simple fisherman who would go to the abundant streams of kumo to get his daily yen. But one fateful night he found something-no. Someone floating down the river. It was a woman beaten and barely having the energy to keep herself floating. Her breathing was hoarse and her wounds looks severe. Little did Kai know this would be the love of his life, as well as his entire future.

His mother is a complete mystery to Ryuichi himself, but her impact was never ignored. She had beautiful, long black hair and dark almost charcoal-like eyes. In all the pictures of her she always wore a red dress with a crude symbol of a fan on the side of the bottom half.
He was always told that she left. She didn't want to settle down because that's all that ninjas do. Lie, cheat, and do what they want to for their own desires as well as their own land. However this never worked on Ryuichi. He knew...He knew she didn't just leave. If she left, all of her belongings wouldn't still be hidden in his dad's old room. Her leaf nin headband, her favorite dress, her journal, a raven's feather that she would put in her hair, and even a single yen coin that was created faulty with extremely faded designs on it, and not being a complete circle. It was her good luck charm. After going through all of this stuff Ryuichi found out his mother's maiden name. Uchiha Hona.

Early Childhood
<i></i>When Ryuichi was only 3 years old his mother vanished. No funeral, no goodbye, no one even mentioning her existence. However this left a negative impact on his father, who ignored him in order to waste away fishing for as long as 18 hours a day.
He was never lonely however. He always had his best friend, Chiomi by his side. He met her one day when he was 8, and trying to climb up the many rocky hills of the village and he kicked a rock to hit her head from below. It hurt her a bit but he made it up to her by using some of his weekly food money to get her sweets. They've been almost inseparablesince.
Then, the time he nearly died. The day he went too far. The day he became dead-set in his goals. He was rummaging through his mother's belongings on a dark, cloudy day (Even cloudier by Kumo standards) when he found something hidden in his mother's old dress. A single, flat metal blade not unlike a kunai that was most likely for self defense. A kanju for "Petal" was on the bare metal handle and a small rope dangled from the bottom of that same piece. Ryuichi was in wonder. It was such a small, simple, but elegant weapon. He took it outside and got a piece of firewood that he kept for cold days. He spent hours trying to throw it like a ninja would, but it would always miss or just hit the wood on it's flat end, bouncing down into the dirt. But the one time he went to pick it up again he would regret it. he picked it up to his knee-level and tried to stand up straight only slip in the moist ground.
He dropped the blade, and it propped itself into the log, as it stabbed his leg starting at the knee, and was pulled down when the boy jumped in fear and tried to kick it out. Soon, his legs failed. He was bleeding out. The blade was RAZOR sharp, and now he was gonna pay. How could he be so careless? Why couldn't he just have been safe with it? These thoughts slowly faded as he soon blacked out....
He later woke up to a worried Chiomi and bandages all down his leg. He was told that there was a chance that he would never fully recover, and that sent shock all through his body. He feared that he would never get to start his ninja career.
some years later, and after a lot of physical therapy he entered the academy on the exact same page as the other kids. No stupid leg injury would hold him back.
