Character's Physical Description: Standing at a pretty average height of 5'10", 150lbs with a lean muscular build due to the years of training, appearing thin to those that would judge based on appearance in clothing. A head full of dark hair, seemingly a midnight purple when the light hits it just right, and bright green eyes. His skin is slightly pale from life in a cold country and hiding in the shadows. Casually he usually likes to wear a dark jacket with a fur lined hood and plain gray pants.
Character's Mental Description: As a boy who started from nothing, Miraku has a sense of pride for how far he's come, but thinks a little too highly of himself. Quite intelligent, a quick thinker and a skilled fighter, he has a knack for avoiding unfavourable situations for himself. This includes social situations, as he mostly kept to himself as a child and even as he continued to grow, he found it difficult to foster relationships which lead to him working alone most of the time. A caring person to those close to him, although he has a hard time showing it, also not having many people who fit that description in his life. He is also proud of his homeland and his heritage and tries to do what he can to honour them both.
Character History:Parents born in Kirigakure, they had moved from their harsh homeland soon after getting married, leaving before the issues had arisen, not having to deal with the fall of their village. Having moved to Lightning Country, the settled down on a farm outside the village where they were able to grow crops and raise livestock which they could use to feed themselves as well as sell the extras in order to help feed the people of the country and make a living for themselves. Having lived in Lightning Country for a few years, they decided they wanted to have a child, and got pregnant within only a few months. Nine months later Miraku was born. Born on a warm summers day within the village in order to have it done safely at the hospital, Miraku would be taken home and cared for on their farm for the first few years of his life.
Growing up at home and being home schooled by his parents, Miraku showed great promise and intellect, learning to speak the common language at a young age. He was also taught to play difficult games like chess, go and shogi by his father who was very much into strategic games and enjoyed teaching Miraku and seeing him progress as he grew and learned from playing with him. Miraku had got pretty good at these games in a short period of time, only having played them for a few years before he was an actual challenge to his father.
Although he grew up on a small farm and provided help for his parents when he could; like other children in this day and age, he had a dream of becoming a strong shinobi. Watching shinobi travel throughout the lands during the times when he would sneak off to play in the fields or woods, and in the village when he and his family would go into town in order to sell their crops and meats. Immediately after telling his parents about this dream, they refused, telling him it was too dangerous of a job. They didn't want him risking his life, saying he should stay at home and take over the farm once he grew up. But no matter words they spoke, he refused to concede his dream. During his free time in the evenings, he would travel into the woods and train: climbing trees, training his speed and stamina. He also worked on his strength through helping around the farm. After months of nagging and begging that his parents gave in and told him he could go to the academy once he turned eight years old.
And so, by the age of eight years old, Miraku began attending the academy in Kumogakure. As a student, Miraku was quite good. He was able to perform all three types of Jutsu; Nin, Gen, and Tai quite well. Also able to quickly adapt to any kind of training or lesson they were being taught, Miraku was near the top of his class but had yet to really excel anywhere. That was, until combat training. When put up against other students Miraku was able to easily overpower and take advantage of his classmate's weaknesses, reading their moves and using what he learned to take his wins. With his strength from working on a farm alongside the stamina and speed he had worked up in the wild lands of Lightning Country, he was a step ahead of all of them. Thing continued in this fashion as he made his way through the academy, managing to graduate rather easily.
After graduating to Genin, Miraku continued to work at becoming stronger. Under the guidance of a Jounin leader along with two other previous classmates, they went on missions and trained together in order to become better shinobi. Though it never really clicked with Miraku and his leader or teammates, never having a real connection with them. It never felt like they were a true team. Things were much different in the real world than in the academy where everything was just theory and learning among peers. Though most of their missions were pretty easy, once in a while things didn't go as planned because the world was a messy place. But that time as a Genin flew by, and after only a few years, the Chuunin exams were upon them. He and his team were able to easily make it through the first part of the exam, and once it came to the solo battle segment, Miraku was able to push his way through and graduate to Chuunin on his first attempt.
Over the past few years before his graduation to Chuunin, his parents had been upset due to the news that their home had essentially been destroyed by ice that seemed to come out of nowhere and force everyone to leave, and Kirigakure to fall. Having family there, they were worried about what had happened to them, having not heard anything from them and weren't even truly sure what had happened. This worry made Miraku very curious, and as a Chuunin, he decided he would acquire a passport in order to travel for a while and try to go to Water Country and see what had happened there himself; maybe figure out what happened to people who didn't make it out.
Upon heading to Water Country, he quickly realized how bad it really was, the land completely iced over, with snow everywhere. Luckily he was used to the colder weather but had dressed up more than usual in order to survive out there. A few days into his search of the lands, Miraku was ambushed by a group of looters of some kind who were dressed much more professionally for this climate and were seemingly looking to find valuables left behind by the people who had to abandon their homeland. Four of them were there and apparently decently trained, enough to hold their own. They felt similar to Chuunin level shinobi. Miraku fought back with all that he could, managing to hold them off, abusing the landscape and unstable footing along with his weapons and ninja wire in order to maintain his survivability against them. He also paid close attention to them, able to learn their styles of fighting quite quickly, using it against them in his favour, but it wasn't enough. After a few minutes, he was overwhelmed and was finally knocked unconscious by one of the enemies.
Figuring he was done for, Miraku was surprised when he came to inside a cave with a fire nearby. He quickly found out he was saved by a mysterious man who seen his fight against the four looters and jumped in after he fell in order to stop them from killing him. This man had taken an interest in the boy after seeing how combat skills and the way he was able to survive so long even though he was outclassed due to his quick thinking and tenacity. The man only gave the name Okuro and never talked about himself. He told Miraku he wanted to train him, but first Miraku had to head back to the village so as to not get in trouble for being away for longer than he had requested previously. As such, he returned to Kumogakure and immediately requested further travel time, so that he could train out there for a much longer period of time.
Returning to Water Country, he returned to find the man still living in the same cave, having waited for him, since it had only taken him a few days to head back, request further time and return. And so began the roughest training Miraku had ever undergone. The man was very tough on him and made him work extremely hard to improve. He taught the boy all about proper combat techniques, being stealthy, and using his speed to his advantage. Okuro told Miraku he believed the boy was much better suited to being an ANBU than being in the Main Branch with his ability to fight so well using his strategic mind along with his speed. He believed the boy would be able to use those abilities in order to perform infiltration and assassinations quite easily, convincing him that it was the right move to try to make his way into that branch and excel there rather than where he was. Spending so much time with Okuro, as well as getting close to him made Miraku believe his words, and decide to agree with the man and work towards becoming an ANBU instead.
Finishing their first year of training, Miraku returned home and began attempting to find out how he could join the ANBU branch. After asking around a bit from the higher-ups, he was directed to the ANBU Sennin at the time and given an interview, along with a few physical and mental tests to make sure he was a good fit. It didn't take long before he was accepted and became and ANBU In Training. It almost felt like a demotion to him, but he trusted what Okuro had told him, and worked hard. The training he had undergone had seen him improve immensely, which lead to him performing very well in his ANBU training and missions alongside the other ANBU. In combat training, he struggled a bit at first, but using his quick mind he was able to adapt and begin to hold his own against proper ANBU, even defeating some superiors in combat due to his mental proficiency and speed.
It didn't take Miraku long to rise up in the ranks to a full-fledged ANBU after his training had gone so well. He was quite adept at stealth and speed due to his training with Okuro. Along with his decent command over the three different types of Jutsu, he was able to complete mission tasks quickly and efficiently. Once he became a full-fledged ANBU, Miraku joined the Strategic Operations Division and began to take on solo missions. Things which involved him sneaking into places and stealing intel or assassinations of easy targets that couldn't be linked back to the village. It really felt like Okuro knew what he was talking about because it felt so natural for Miraku now. Like this was where he was meant to be, or at least where Okuro had trained him to be.
Though now that he was an ANBU, it made it much harder for him to meet with Okuro to train. As an ANBU, he was only allowed to leave the village for up to 60 days before he would be hunted down for desertion. Even still, he managed to make it work. He would take a small break every few months to make the trip out to Water Country and continue to train with the man who had helped him come so far. With his help, he continued to grow, becoming one of the strongest shinobi in the village, and proving his worth on every mission. Miraku continued his faithful service as a member of the ANBU completing many missions and even helping to train new recruits in order to bring up the next generation of ANBU for Kumogakure.
After quite a few years Miraku was able to advance to the rank of ANBU Elite through his continued loyalty and ability to teach those under him while staying unattached to any of them, staying very professional. Though this was mostly due to his inability to manage to find a connection with any of the people he met and helped out, not that he really tried. This new rank gave him the chance to lead teams of ANBU on missions, which he did rarely. He still preferred to stick to being solo as he had never really found anyone else he really meshed with or felt close to like he did with Okuro. After their last month of training, Okuro told Miraku that they would have to take a break for a few years as he had some secret stuff he needed to do. He was keeping up his mysterious visage, never having truly opened up to Miraku. Having listened to the man for so long, he just agreed without much thought. And so Miraku returned to the village and continued his life as he normally would as an ANBU.
