Name: Shinomiya Masaru
Age: 12
Physical Description: Standing 160cm tall Masaru is taller than your average 12-year-old. While arguably his most noticeable feature it is not all there is to him. With short light brown hair, and uninterested brown eyes, he is not remarkably attractive nor ugly. In fact that would be the most average thing about him at the moment. He is noted to look a lot like his mother in regards to looks, however he has his father's stiff expressions. While he doesn't think he stands out as much, he actually does with his height and apparel. Masaru usually wears dark clothing, mostly black long sleeved shirts, pants, pants, and cloak. The only thing of color that he wears is a necklace with a golden cross, a symbol of his faith that often gets him more attention than needed.
Mental Description: The best way to describe Masaru would be gifted. Things seem to come naturally to him, and even if he can't pick something up right away if you give him a few days he'll be able to do something adequately. Although he isn't particularly smart Masaru is aware that he is talented, but when one would expect arrogance or a boastful attitude of him they would certainly be surprised. Masaru has no drive, no ambition to do anything in life. He has no hobbies, nothing he likes, and no real goals in life. For him it's simply going about the usual route: start at the academy and work your way up the ladder, to protect your village just as you're told.
While he has no passion or initiative, Masaru isn't a robot. He has feelings, albeit he does not speak his mind a lot of the time, but he can go through the motions with things. While he has friends and acquaintances he can talk to he has no real bonds with anyone. There is no spark or fire in his life, which could make him a boring person to be in the company of.
History: Masaru's father was a Priest from the Holy City of Tenouza who moved to Raiden's Eye to try and spread the holy word. While there he met a kunoichi and the two ended up falling in love. It wasn't long before Masaru was born, and for a time they were content. While his mother was a proud individual who refused to adopt the beliefs of Tenouzan she still loved Masaru's father, and the same could be said of the Priest who believed he could eventually get her to turn to the faith.
While his mother was not keen on it, Masaru's father continued his teachings. There wasn't much she could do because of her job as a shinobi so she was often away from home more than she would have liked. While in the care of his father, Masaru began to learn of the faith and adopt it. While his mother was away his father would take him with him to various places in the city to preach the word, and Masaru would watch and listen with interest. He knew his father wasn't well liked, but considered it simply natural for him to have the faith as well.
On the rare chances that his mother was home his father would go off on pilgrimages. However, during one such instances the pilgrimage did not go as planned, and in the chaos his father wound up getting killed. From then on Masaru's mother was the sole caretaker. Masaru continued to practice the faith, often seen wearing a necklace with a cross on it, out of duty to his deceased father.
After his father's death his mother took the opportunity to move them. Having been stationed in Raiden's Eye for the majority of Masaru's young life, she decided it was time for him to attend the Academy. Thus, the pair moved and moved to Kumogakure. While he knows that Kumogakure is not the Holy City he does not have any interest in traveling there, instead opting to do his duty as his mother's son. It was obvious that he was gifted, often taking to things much quicker than most, but his mother knew of his potential as a shinobi and explained to him the duties and responsibilities they had as citizens under the Raikage. To Masaru that means it is only natural to take the path of the shinobi, but he also believes he can conduct his faith and duty in unison. As a gifted child there is no question as to whether or not these things can be accomplished.
