Name: Tanimoto, Riku
Age: 12
Date of Birth: 23 June
Gender: Male
Height: 151cm
Weight: 38kg
Physical Description: Riku bears Black hair that stretches to touch his shoulders and continues to grow as he refuses to get it cut. It even dares to cross in front of his face from time to time. Hidden underneath his dark locks is a pair of unique jewels. subtly changing from a bright yellow to a neon green and everything in between whenever they please, Riku's eyes are a mystery to all. Though he is young and weak, he still holds himself up with pride. His lanky body lacks nearly any bit of muscle due to his age. Standing at a mere 145cm, Riku is of average height. However he is considered to be underweight with a weight of only 43kg. Riku bears the average pale complexion of one living among Village Hidden in the Clouds.
Mental Analysis: Riku is quite the upbeat child. He is willing to take on any challenge set before him and believes he can conquer anything he sets his mind to. He's always looking at the positive side of things. However, he tends to put the needs of others before his own as he values friendship highly. Riku tends to be a goofy child, pulling pranks or performing stunts to make people laugh. Don't let that fool you, he is a bright kid. Curiosity often gets the best of him and leads him to stick his nose into places where it doesn't belong. Though as happy go lucky as he seems, Riku is not perfect. His over-confidence often leads him down a plethora of dangerous paths. And his brutal honesty tends to hurt others, even though he does not intend for it in such a way.
History:
Prologue
A fisherman by the name of Masao Tanimoto was admitted into the village hospital after a horrific fishing accident. With the aid of the Shinobi doctors, Masao was saved and began a long road of recovery. During his stay at the hospital, Masao fell in love with one of the medical ninja aiding in his recovery. He came to know her as Asayo Fukiyama. A beautiful, heartfelt woman with a passion for medicine.
Long after Masao had finished his recovery, he continued to visit Asayo at the hospital, spending time with her while she worked. And finally she accepted an invite to go out on a real date. It wasn't long afterwards that the two young adults were married and began having children. The First born son was named Riku.
Chapter One
Riku grew up as the oldest son in the Tanimoto household. So he was always the object of his father's attention. Always being pushed to be the next heir to the Tanimoto fishing business. But that was never Riku's true focus. His mind was elsewhere, whether it was off making friends around the village or having fun and goofing off. Riku had a difficult time making friends as most in the village had grown up being neglectful giving anyone they had seen the cold shoulder.
But Riku never allowed that to get to him. While playing alone in the Nimbus Delectatio one day, he met a boy just a year older than him who also loved to have fun. And after sharing some fun that fateful day, Riku became friends with the boy known as Tora. The two grew to be practically inseparable. Always playing around and getting into trouble together. They even had deep conversations about life. As deep as conversations can get for a pair of pre-adolescent boys. But Tora revealed his long life dream of becoming a powerful shinobi to help protect his village and become renown among all the lands.
Riku, too, idolized Tora's ambitions and shared his dream. He even gathered the courage to explain that to his father. Though Masao had not approved of Riku's dream, he would not stop the boy. For standing up to his father like he did revealed that he was ready to become a man. Masao encouraged Riku to pursue his dream even if it was not the path he wanted for his son. Riku met up with Tora afterwards to celebrate his father's acceptance. And though they played and had the time of their lives like they always did, Riku had no idea that Tora was simply a manifestation of his unconscious.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I would like my member name to be changed to my character name. Riku if possible. If not, Tanimoto Riku is acceptable. I would appreciate it. Thank you.
