Description:

Sora is 5 11 and a pretty fit guy, with nicely sized muscles (not overly big) and healthy looking skin. He has light brown eyes, blackish going on white hair, and fair skin. He resembles a fair skinned japanese person in terms of facial features. Sora is quite a handsome guy, making him somewhat of a ladies man. Occasionally he'll crack a smile that will either melt your soul, or send chills down your spine depending on the occasion. He usually doesn't wear his forehead protector on his head while in public, only because he doesn't want anything to happen to it; but in battle he'll take it off his neck, and put it where it rightfully belongs. His outfit usually consists of gauntlets on his arms, baggy but loose fitting pants and a shitload of weapons. He keeps his entire torso wrapped in bandages for no other reason other than it looks cool... he's a little cocky as you can tell.



Nindo: As balance dictates.
Personality Description:

A prodigious martial artist, Sora began training with his Uncle as soon as he could make a fist. His Uncle's discipline was relentless and unforgiving, but predicated on the fundamental principle: "We do that which must be done." For this reason Sora is slightly cold when it comes towards his job, putting success over even the lives of his companions and himself. He believes in true balance, thus making himself true neutral. Some question what this means, well it means he'll do what he has to make sure good doesn't surpass evil and vise versa. This may sound crazy but it's what he believes in, Yin and Yang.

At times Sora is the kind of guy you'd see handing people food at a shelter or giving his last dollar to a homeless man asking for sake to ease his pain. (Not saying he would, just stating he's that nice) He's calm, cool and collective. Around women he's a really funny guy who always cracks jokes and tries to make them feel as comfortable as possible. He exudes confidence, and doesn't try to act like a douche while doing so. He's basically better than you is what I'm saying. Sometimes Sora's pride overtakes his confidence and he'll fight anyone that dares challenging him without double thinking it. Recently he's been abusing alcohol and cigarettes, not so much to look cool, just to ease his stress. He pays attention to small details and gets anxiety when things seem off. Sora is a lover, a fighter, a smoker, a joker, a midnight toker all that.

History:

November 18th was a snowy day in Kirigakure, the temperature had just dropped to 15 degrees and people were warned of a mild blizzard rolling in. Sayama Hanabi and her husband Mizu were expecting a child on this chilly day, but were too afraid to go to a hospital because of the blizzard. Luckily, Sayama's mother, Oboro, was a great medic. Mizu was very proud when his wife gave birth to a healthy, 8 pound, 10 ounce baby boy. He came out with beautiful light brown eyes and black hair. "I have such high hopes for you son... when you grow up you'll become the greatest shinobi that has ever lived Sora, I believe in you." his father whispered while holding him.

Childhood Corrupted:
Around march when Sora was 3, his family received a letter in the mail. To this day the boy doesn't know what it said, just that her parents were freaking out about it and that on the envelope it was delivered in, it said in bold red letters: "MIZU".This was all it took for the family to completely pack up and move to another random location. Things were fine for the first couple of months, but on Sora's 4th birthday his father began acting strange. He would curse more and starting getting short over even the simplest of things. This continued for weeks, until things got worse and he began getting more and more aggressive. Eventually his father got to the point where he would beat his wife, and over basically nothing, though he would never touch his son. The final climax happened May 28th, a few months short of his 5th birthday. Mizu came home drunk and tried to beat Sayama, but she fought back. A struggle ensued and his father then mercilessly and brutally stabbed Sayama in front of Sora over and over. He tried to stop his dad, but was too weak. Her father then simply smiled at his daughter and left her and his dying wife inside of a house he soon began to set on fire. Kasuga sat in a burning house with her dying mother. His mother's last words were "Forgive me honey... I wish I was strong enough to live for you..." Sayama's brother found the boy huddled up in a ball, crying.

The Ninja Academy:

Years had passed and Sora had taken asylum with his Uncle, Riku-sama. Once the child turned 7 he was enrolled into the academy, and was determined. He began mastering everything, getting perfect test scores and impressing all of her teachers. When asked why, he'd simply reply "Because balance dictates." and continue whatever he was doing. Sora graduated at age 10, and went into special training with his uncle. We reach Sora now, at age 15. He's right at his turning point, where all his skills will become honed. Let's hope the boy can one day find and bright his father to justice.
