Name: Wolf Kotei Nickname: The Wolf Age: 16 Gender: Male
Height: 5'11" Weight: 180 lbs Appearance: Wolf looks like your typical trouble maker, it's usually because of his glaring red-orange eyes and his long dark mane. His "swagger" you could say is sort of arrogant and intimidating with how he carries himself, though he's not really like that but that's for later. He is a dark skinned shinobi, something passed down from his Kumogakure heritage. He wears a sleeveless black shirt and black pants. He has a grey cape that sort of comes down from under his shirt toward his feet with a gold underlining. He has an athletic build and strong muscle definition. He looks like a strong and rambunctious kid.
Village: Sunagakure Character Rank: Genin Clan: N/A Element: N/A
Personality: Strong. Funny. Honest. Brave. Empathetic. Those are the five qualities that oversee Wolf's personality. Wolf has a strong sense of will and to get the job done. He's not the type to back down from a challenge and will sometimes jump the gun. He is not easily hurt by words or even actions. He takes things with a grain of salt and keeps moving forward. This also relates to his bravery for as said before he hates to back down. Even in the face of overwhelming opposition, Wolf will try to stand his ground. Sometimes this may lead him to becoming reckless but he learns from his mistakes. He hardly falls for the same trick twice. He can sometimes get carried away with his honesty, speaking his mind no matter how offensive or who is around. But he comes from a good place, most of the time. His sense of humor involves sarcasm and a type of brutal honesty that many find entertaining or insulting. It's all in fun for him however. He keeps a light hearted attitude amongst friends and family. He is a understanding person who isn't quick to judge. He understands everyone has different circumstances and ways of thinking and often tries to understand people, even though he may not agree with them. However one should not confuse his empathy with sympathy or apathy, those are very different things.
Character History: Wolf was adopted by his distant aunt, Kira, and her husband Bino who lived in Sunagakure. His parents were Kumogakure shinobi killed in battle when he was 7 years old. His first brush with death and loss. Something that sounds like the tale of many children of shinobi. The loss left him with severe depression and put his aunt Kira to quite the test since she had no children of her own and had to deal with a broken one. He nearly broke her marriage which didn't help his emotional being. What helped was his new friend at the time, Liam who lived nearby. Having a friend like Liam to talk to and interact with was what he needed. Liam had also lost his parents to battle but 3 years prior. Liam was 4 years older than Wolf, so he was more mature and had a better grasp on coping that Wolf would come to understand. Liam was also in the shinobi academy at the time, wanting to follow in his parent's footsteps, minus the death. Wolf on the other hand had no interest in being a shinobi but admired Liam's bravery and will. Wolf looked up to Liam like a brother.
Flash forward 5 years and Wolf would be joining the shinobi academy himself. The years he spent with Liam had changed him for the better. Even his aunt Kira was proud to see his growth and looked at Liam like her second adopted child. Liam had become a chuunin at this time and Wolf often shadowed him when he was in the village. Learning the qualities of being a good shinobi early. Liam would even help Wolf train which is why Wolf did so well in school. But one day Liam would just disappear. No one knew why? Not even the other shinobi because Liam was not on an official mission, so they couldn't assume he was taken or killed. They eventually labeled him a missing-nin. Wolf knew this meant they saw him as a traitor who fled the village. But Wolf couldn't believe that, he knew Liam too well. Kira worried that this would send Wolf back into a depression having lost someone else close to him but the opposite would occur. Wolf would strive harder to become a shinobi so that he could find out what happened to Liam.
Wolf became a genin when he was 14 and since has been doing his best to get recognition so that he could improve in rank and have a better chance to search for Liam.
