Torazawa (Uchiha), Hisoka.

THE INFO.

Name: Torazawa, (Uchiha) Hisoka
Nickname: Tora-san, Hiso-kun (not that he enjoys being called either)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:

With light skin that tans easily, Hisoka is a teen with humble looks, neither particularly gorgeous nor unattractive, with a lean build (standing at exactly six feet; 182cm) and waist size to spare (65kg; 145lb). His eyes can take on numerous expressions and expand to be fairly large when shocked. Normally however, they’re sharp and slightly narrowed, with a strong layer of suspicion rooted deeply within them. From time to time, a bright spark of energy or playfulness derails the stone-cold normality but such occasions are as frequent as a blue moon.

His scalp has several scars on it, though they are practically invisible with his black hair grown out. His nose, unblemished and straight, is yet another average body part. Slightly thin lips that show no sign of creating a smile rest between the nose and a narrow jaw line.

Speaking more in-depth about his hair, it hardly has any reaction to sunlight other than a slightly blue tint. It tends to absorb and thus, it doesn’t appear any lighter or “shine spectacularly” when hit by sunlight. The hair is of medium length, a sign of rebelliousness and freedom that had stayed with him for the longest time, since he was a child. His bangs, while capable of covering his eyes are cut in such a way that they rarely do, and he is able to see without obstruction nearly all the time, even when the hair is wet and heavy. The back end, reaches half way down his neck while the sides allow for some of his ear to be visible.

Hisoka’s entire body is well conditioned and perfectly healthy, partially due to his upbringing as the adopted son of a carpenter. A ruthless trainer, Hisoka has enough self-awareness to know his limits and therefore, knows just how far he can push himself. Typically, he over does it, possessing a strong urge to succeed, whist managing to refrain from any permanent or long term injuries. With muscles that had been built since a young age and a body leaning on the taller side, yet fitting a slim build; Hisoka maintains a good amount of equilibrium. No piercings or tattoos plague his body with their ostentatious appearance; Hisoka prefers to remain plain.

As for clothing, Hisoka sports two different outfits, the first and most casual one consists of a simple prussian blue kimono. It's generally what he wears when in the comfort of his own residence, or occasionally when he's out for a leisurely stroll. Though primarily the deep blue color mentioned earlier, the plain kimono also has a white collar, and a white obi around the waist. Over all this, a black Montsuki embroidered with the Konohagakure village simple is worn. For footwear, white tabi and classic wooden sandals Hisoka made himself.

The second outfit is far more like the formal shinobi garments. Having not yet received a flask jacket yet, as he is only a Genin, Hisoka instead wears the long-sleeved charcoal gray shirt with the red whirlpool swirl on the shoulder that is common among Konohagakure shinobi, although the sleeves are slightly wider where they end by the right than the normal variation. Underneath this is a white short-sleeve shirt, a thermal layer, so his attire suits a multitude of temperatures. Occasionally, these two layers may fight for dominance, sometimes wearing the white t-shirt over the long-sleeve, other times the long-sleeve is fitted over the white short-sleeve. For pants, again, the durable typical gray/black pants worn by the majority. The pants end at mid-shin however, where training tape is wrapped around for the remainder of the extremities, down to the standard shinobi sandals. A fairly common look, but then again, shinobi aren't suppose to be the flashiest dressers.
Personality:

Curiosity – Hisoka is always searching for clarity. Not necessarily answers, but he wants to understand the root behind something, the driving motivation, everyone and everything living must have some, right? Unfortunately, most of Hisoka’s key motivation has been self-serving; he is rarely inclined to assisting others unless he can find some later benefit from doing so. Nonetheless, his passion for being able to full understand and comprehend all is ablaze. He is independent, and always has been considering his upbringing; so most of the time he pursues his curiosity without aid.

Environment – Hisoka enjoys experiencing his surroundings, even if it’s simply lying in the grass the teen will want to experience the ambience of the location, the atmosphere and the mood of the place (this ties in with curiosity). The attention he gives towards the environment suggests that he may pursue skills in the tracking/sensing area of Ninjutsu, though being a somewhat idealistic youth, and given his curious nature, Hisoka wants to know and master everything.

Energetic – Although he typically has a cold demeanor, there’s a large amount of energy within Hisoka, which can lead to restlessness if not channeled or controlled properly. This energy is usually seen during training or combat, but isn’t limited to the shinobi lifestyle. It is also expressed in the enthusiasm he has when speaking about a particularly interesting topic, or during a rare moment of foolery and goofing off. There’s never anything half-hearted about what Hisoka does when this energy radiating, and this tends to be seen by onlookers, giving him a “magnetic” effect on people if not charismatic so long as he chooses to flaunt it.

Motivated – For Hisoka, it’s all or nothing. There is no halfway for him. When striving to do something, even if it’s training, practicing his kunai or shuriken throwing, he must do it until he has mastered it. Mere competence is not enough since, in his mind, the average shinobi is “competent”. To live and to survive, he must therefore be more than competent; a master at whatever it is he tries to do. While this leads to many educational pursues, and a well balanced intellect, along with the interest to pursue studies in all areas of shinobi life, there are times where Hisoka’s strengths and weaknesses either inhibit or force him to follow more heavily into certain categories.

Introspective; Introvert – Hisoka has a habit of being too introspective. Far too much does he analyze his own actions, and thoughts, dissecting them, both the good and bad ones. While this does seem like a positive trait, allowing him to recognize his own faults, Hisoka is seldom to admitting them and rarely does he try to rectify them unless they pose a serious problem; introspectiveness doesn’t equal maturity. In addition, due to the amount of time Hisoka spends on his reflecting periods, as well as his natural inclination to interact with the natural environment, he is rarely given the chance to appear social, although he typically does mind being (so long as being “social” doesn’t include to interacting with a large group of people, or being in overly crowded or loud places). Above all, to fully bring out his sociability, Hisoka must be interested, or curious about whatever is going on. This isolation and introversion is in contrast to the amount of energy Hisoka has within, and a reason why his charisma goes largely unnoticed.

THE NINJA.

Affiliation: Konohagakure no Sato
Rank: Genin
Specialties: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu
Elemental Affinities: Katon, Fuuton
Combat Style:
There’s something interesting about the way Hisoka fights. While he is perfectly fit and able, the youth prefers to abstain from fist-to-fist confrontation, instead utilizing primarily Ninjutsu to attack from a fairly reasonable distance. It isn’t that he dislikes the physicality of battle in any way, rather, he is simply more inclined to using Ninjutsu (an unexplained, and perhaps irrational reason, but this is how Hisoka operates). On a more mental level, Hisoka does what any “proper” shinobi would. He analyzes and assesses the situation to the best of his abilities and then tries to find the best way to exploit an opponent and defeat them. This doesn’t mean the youth’s a super-wiz, though it does suggest that there is a certain level of planning and strategy to each of Hisoka’s actions, even if to him they seem rather instinctual. With all this said, Hisoka isn’t hotheaded; the type to charge in blindly, filled with a loud desire to announce himself to an enemy. Even when provoked, or excited in battle, Hisoka bottles the thrill to an extent, allowing it to slip out sutbly, without making any unnecessary moves. Conservative; would be a good word to sum up his fighting style.

THE BACKGROUND.

History:

Early Years (Birth – Age 7)
Born to two shinobi who were smitten with each other since their first joint mission, Hisoka was born with two loving parents, two individuals who gave each other hope, happiness, and the energy to get through life’s mundane situations. Both were so enveloped within each other, that friends of the couple found the two could not be separated, and when a baby came into their lives, they simply must have the best for their offspring, a perfect mix of both their features. So, for four years Hisoka was lavished with anything he wanted; spoiled completely with whatever toy he desired, any food he craved. Such a royal lifestyle was his childhood, and it showed no sign of changing...

The change was quite abrupt, a four year-old Hisoka was entertaining himself in one room, one cool summer evening when the knock on the door came. His mother, belly expanded with the prospects of another healthy child answered it. The sound of his mother opening the door was all Hisoka could remember from that night, the remaining memories blocked out for the shock would be extraordinary, even for a healthy-minded sixteen year-old. All the teen recalls is that the next day he was relocated, his room, which had been the only room, he knew for four years vanished in an instant. His parents, who had cared for him to a fault for the first four years of his life also disappeared without a comprehendible explanation (though, being four, Hisoka was oblivious to much of the world around him).

Somehow, the toddler found himself in the care of an aged couple, whose children both suffered a short life due to the nature of the shinobi lifestyle. He obtained a new surname "Torazawa". His new caretakers were quite traditional in the sense of raising a child, and Hisoka found himself under the “heavy” discipline of his knew family. Of course, the todder fought back as best he could, which consisted of tantrums and misbehavior that continued for the next few years of his life. The husband, Hisoka’s new father was by no means a bad man. On the contrary, he was perfectly fair, and his method of raising a child with of a strong sense of discipline was an admirable one. However, being spoiled by his biological parents made Hisoka resist to this, the child was so used to getting his way.

The Preteens Years (8-12)
It took around two years to adjust to living with his new family. They weren’t shinobi like his real parents, but both still held professions that would shape Hisoka’s development into his teen years. The husband was a carpenter, and so the majority of the later half of Hisoka’s childhood consisted of helping his new father with constructing and repairing buildings, among other structures and objects. This way of life was fine for the boy, as he got to travel to different areas of the world, discovering many things along the way, and imprinted a strong curiosity within him. The world was so vast! The different climates, terrain, cultures and towns, all of it mixed into one euphoric childhood.

Carpentry also instilled the meaning of discipline in Hisoka, although the boy always had a strong motivation towards whatever he wanted to do. However, having only known the skills of a carpenter, the boy’s life was fairly limited. Still, the work developed strong muscles and perhaps even some amount of good character in the tween, each day was so eventful, each new project taken by the husband and his adopted son like an adventure, Hisoka had almost entirely forgotten about the career his parents had; the cold-blooded way of the shinobi. It would’ve remained that way for his entire life as well if it wasn’t for an unfortunate group of bandits that saw an older man and his young “son” as an easy target one afternoon in the forest the carpenter and his boy were travelling through.

It wasn’t a very good fight. The bandits were cocky, and completely unaware that even an aged carpenter could still be in excellent physical condition. There wasn’t much blood spilt, but then again a carpenter’s tool belt isn’t the same as a shinobi’s equipment sack. Essentially, Hisoka’s adopted father was able to take out two of the bandits with a quick knock on the head with his hammer. Meanwhile, however, an interesting event was taking place. Unable to assist his adopted son as he was confronting the first two pillagers, the aged man witnessed firsthand the power of an inherited bloodline.

It was miraculous that Hisoka could even avoid the reach of the two big men, and completely surreal what he did soon after. A small hole in his shirt caught a branch, pulling him back towards the monstrous figure of the two bandits. A sweep from the machete one of them carried was aimed for the Hisoka’s neck, an attempt to get back for their fallen comrades. Deep brown, almost pitch black eyes transformed into piercing scarlet as a quick acrobatic motion freed the boy from the branch, and transported him away from the heavy blade. Then, almost as if the boy could see with perfect clarity, he aimed a rock scavenged from the forest floor and placed it perfectly on the eye of the machete wielding man. Seizing the small opportunity, Hisoka made a lunge for the blade, whith dropped from the bandit’s hand as he went to nurse his wound. Successful, blade in hand, adrenaline flowing, and energy-high, Hisoka made an attempt at the final bandit, who in turn responded by trying to draw his large hammer. Needless to say, a nimble youth versus a brute with a heavy weapon… Hisoka, in all his inexperience emerged with the bandit’s blood on his clothes.

Teens (13-16)
His Sharingan had awakened, a gift from his father who was now just a blurry face in incomplete memories. However, Hisoka wouldn’t know of his lineage until he was fifteen, when he first entered the shinobi academy, much to his caregivers detest. Both their children died due to the harsh lifestyle of a shinobi, and they refused to lose another. The skirmish with the bandits lead way to new possibilities for Hisoka, he now took interest in shinobi affairs, intrigued by their lifestyle, energized by his brush with combat. However, as mentioned, his caregivers were less then happy with the teens decision to join the academy. They were able to subdue his desire for a two years before they finally couldn’t control him any longer, and had to give into the youth’s strong desire. They simply couldn’t deny such a motivated and enthusiastic boy. Entering the academy at fifteen, Hisoka began proper school in contrast to the poor attempts of self-taught shinobi techniques that he tried to learn when he was fourteen. A motivated pracitioner of the shinobi arts, the teen did well at the academy and managed to graduate in a year, come his sixteenth birthday, his present, a Konohagakure hitai-ate.
