Name: Hashirama Raito
Nickname: Little Brawler - This nickname was given to Hashi due to his unmatched mastery in Taijutsu among people his age. He enjoys fighting and showing his superiority over any other young taijutsu user he is matched against, and loves to prove them how far away they are from him.
Hyperactive Demon - The name speaks for itself. Hashi is a very hyperactive individual and seems to be everywhere while causing chaos all over the place.
Age: Fifteen
Gender: M
Height: 175.3 cm (5'6" )
Weight: 71.1 kg (156.5lbs )
Hair color:▐ Blond
Eye Color:▐ Sky Blue
Appearance: Always cheerful and with a smile on his face, Hashi is a well kept and sweet looking boy. He usually wears a mix between lightly colored long sleeved shirt and a pair of dark pants. While the clothes are perfect fit, they still are easy to move around in and not slowing down Hashi's movements. He doesn't care much about his appearance, focusing more on comfort that how well he looks so his clothing adapts usually to the given moment. He still refuses to wear large coats even in the winter, as he believes they would weight too much and slow down his movement and reactions which he would not approve off.
Not caring much about his looks, Hashi has longish for a boy and always messy blond hard as well as honey brown big eyes which could be considered quite cute. Together with his slim yet athletic body, Hashi comes across as swift and quick which portrays his skill set well. He wears his head protector as a scarf around his neck as while he isn't afraid of getting hit, he still believes he should defend a part of the body that is most open to deadly attack.
Village: Kumogakure no Sato
Character Rank: [C-Rank] Genin
Clan: Raito
Element Personality: Rarely seen angry or without a smile, Hashi is a rather cheerful individual who enjoys company of others as well as some free time. While he does love peace, he would much rather spend time with friends socializing or training together. Hashi is just one of these people who considers everyone his friends and can usually befriend anyone and anywhere. Its that optimistic attitude which led him to becoming overly excitable, getting overly happy with minor things and feeling the need of telling everyone around him.
Hashi enjoys training with people more that alone. As a matter of fact he preforms much better with people looking over him, as he does feel the need to prove others that he is, or rather will be famous some day. His techniques are usually flashy but quick, not giving the opponent even the slightest opening usually leading to a quick fight where either side wins.
Hashi dislikes pointless work which can be easily avoided or which will lead to nothing, hence at times he chooses to avoid some of the more boring responsibility, going swimming, playing games or simply chatting to girls. While Hashi gets along with most people, the female gender seems to enjoy him more as he is a pretty open person compared to other guys, with the additional fact that Hashi is actually a huge pervert. While its true that most of his friends are female, Hashi does have a few good male friends.
While Hashi does love fighting and training, he dislikes the idea of taking another person's life unless its absolutely necessary. In fact if possible, he tends to avoid pointless combat which often leaves him at a disadvantage due to the opponent making the first move. In addition he is very loyal, and even despite the previous point, if an ally or a friend is attacked, he would consider it a necessity to kill the attacker solely to save his comrade.
Hashirama is set in the belief mankind will never look at situations rationally and will - always and inevitably - resort to violence to resolve conflicts. Most of the time he manages to keep this cynical part of his persona under wraps, but occasionally something so spectacularly idiotic happens that reveals his hatred of all things ignorant. He can burst into a fit of curses faster than the blink of an eye, and wields his sarcasm like a second language. Such outbursts are rare and seen by few, however, so most are unaware of Hashi's more temperamental side. It takes a lot to get a rise out of the brunette; anything short of incredible disrespect for his friends and family will rarely earn such a rise out of him.
Deep down, behind his sometimes questionable morals and "excessive" actions, Hashi is a good guy. He is completely honest about everything he says and does, no matter what the consequences might be. His methods are questionable, but everything he does is done with a good intention in mind. When he steals, when he lies or fights, he only does so out of his overpowering desire to establish peace for his chaotic life - even if it's only for a few minutes.
Hashi's only real goal is to enjoy life as much as possible. He loves to laugh and make other laugh alongside him, to poke fun at friends and strangers alike. As such, his more serious demeanor is often overshadowed by a playful persona that pokes fun at everything and everyone he comes across. If he finds a situation amusing himself, he might take his antics so far that other parties involved might actually question his sanity. He'll taunt his foes with ridiculous insults and threats so horrendously violent one might mistake the brunette for a psychopath. Hashi will ignore all manner of social tact should he find it appropriate for the situation, making the most bizarre inquiries and contextually-inappropriate jokes in order to amuse himself.
Now he is a friendly person to all the person he considers dear, even while assuming a cold and stoic approach to people. Those closest to him know him as a quiet yet respectful man. Although calmed and collected he sometimes lets the anger get the better of him such when his beloved fiance was taken as a hostage only to be killed before him. Having a greater attachment and sense of belonging with his homeland he will do what he has to do in order to save it. Even sacrificing his life and that of his subordinates to accomplish his goals.

- Yeah, well, this kid just can't be mean. He doesn't like it and even if the meanness was justified, he just can't be it either. He's far too much of a pacifist and friend seeking persona that causing harm on purpose just doesn't work for him. But then, one could call him too sweet, which actually then turns into a fault and a dangerous one for a shinobi. Because he could show mercy at wrong times, which could end up into disasters.

- Or rather, childish ignorance. He is fairly innocent and doesn't always understand people can have ulterior motives that are less than neat or proper. He is pretty ignorant as of why people would want to fight. But he is not ignorant about the subject of death, personal experiences having told him early on that shinobi tend to die, despite being like super humans.
Character History: - the Preface:
Hashirama Raito was born into the Raito; a family whose members tended to lean towards the aspects of a martial artist rather than a shinobi. Knowing how to defend oneself was a key aspect of life within this tight-knit family, and there had yet to be a child who didn't learn how to throw a solid punch. Ever since the moment he could walk Hashi found himself undergoing rigorous training exercises and forms so long they would boggle the minds of most any ninja. He learned how to move both on and offbeat during a fight before he could even speak full sentences, much less actually hold a conversation with someone his age. Learning how to perfect his footwork and increasing his flexibility were both daily routines for the boy. Every day the boy was dragged out of bed before the sun even rose, followed by hours of the same exercises; stretching, sitting in stances, perfecting the slightest of mistakes in his combat form. He spent plenty of time watching his family's sparring matches, picking up on the subtle movements they made and what techniques they had labeled as 'effective' and not just 'flashy.'
After finally coming of age, Hashi was thrust into the ninja academy at the wishes of his father. He personally didn't mind all too much, and really didn't have much trouble with the lessons he was taught. And from that stemmed the problem that most of what he was being taught he had already learned years ago. As such he became the class clown; always making jokes and overall becoming the center of attention. He was relatively well liked by both his fellow academy students and his instructors, who grudging admitted that he showed promise as a shinobi. His taijutsu skills were naturally far above average, and while his ninjutsu were unpolished they showed signs of promise. His genjutsu weren't bad - he just didn't really care about them. Hashi preferred to be in the middle of the fight, not sitting on the sideline serving as a distraction.
Graduation felt relatively insignificant to Hashi, who considered it a relatively simple task. He graduated near the top of his class, and probably would have been at the top if he had honestly cared about his written exams. Merely a week later the boy found himself thrust onto a team with two of his fellow genin and his jonin-sensei. Teamwork was something came naturally to Hashi; his already outgoing and open personality, combined with his considerable skill, made him an excellent companion during missions. Yet, he always remained detached from his team in the sense that he rarely honed his skills while he was with them. Instead he found himself under the tutoring of his family, who were more than eager to jam his head full of a multitude of wind-element jutsu as was custom. His skills with a blade continued to grow under the tutoring of his father, yet for all the work Hashi put into his ninja career he never received the 'respect' his father claimed he had not yet earned it.
