Personal v2

Personality: Kraken is a quiet, soft-spoken child. He will not talk first if he doesn't have to, and ultimately despises crowds. He will not stand having more than a few people in the premises, no matter what, or he will go crazy on them. He is a bit of a jerk, at times, seeming coldhearted to people he cares about, but in reality, he doesn't take the time to delve deep into peoples feelings, and honestly, he doesn't really care unless the persons someone who means something to him. He can also seem quite emotionless, always bearing a face without any trace of emotion, except some form of anger or sadness or resent in them. But when he does open up, he is nice, kind, and caring to his friend. He is quite mischievious when he wants to be. He is usually convinced by Anubis to do something wrong or crazy, and Kraken, being easily manipulated, usually ends up doing it. Kraken loves having fun, but never starts something like that unless provoked or forced. But when he is having a good time, Krak will show one of his rare smiles. He is kind to children younger than him, but he tries not to show it to his family.

Likes: Kraken likes a number of things, despite what he says. He enjoys greatly food, espiecally Ramen. He will always have some food in his pocket or shirt pouch wherever he goes. He also likes being with his family. He sometimes makes it out as if he doesn't care, but really, he loves their time. He also, sectretly, loves Music. He will listen to any kind, and it usually calms him down.

Dislikes: Kraken is a great hater of loud noises. He will not stand for it, and will automatically leave the place where the noise is, even if it's his own home. He also dislikes the fact that no one trusts each other. He also has ill intentions of standing in front of crowds. He dislikes being the center ofa attention.

Motivation: Kraken has a motivation not unlike anyone else. He wants to become Kage, and rule the village, and to help his clan gain power, and restore it to it's glory.

Fears: Kraken has an intense fear of being deserted. Even being alone by himself strikes fear in his heart, even if he dislikes crowds. He would rather be in a place with a million people than be by himself.

Location: Sabakugakure

Clan History: The clan started out as a small nomadic family who lived off of what the desert in which they resided provided. They never stayed in one place too long, always moving about the desert, treating nature with the greatest respect. They were unique, due to their religion, which consisted of hundreds of different gods, each one being a personification of an element or object. The clan made many shrines to these gods, praising their powers. They even had a group men devoted to the worship of their gods; their preists.

The clan grew over time, slowly progressing into a small villages worth of people. They finally were forced to settle into a permanent settlement, unable to move about with so many people. They built large shrines to the gods, building idols of them to worship. The clan was happy with their lot in life, giving the gods many sacrifices to keep them favourable. The clan lived this way for not a handful of years, before the famine came.

The famine demolished the clan's pastures, killing off all of their cattle, causing many of the clan to die off. The high priest began to pray to the gods, asking for their aid, praying to them, hoping that they would send them food, or a way out, some way to survive. No answer was forth coming, the gods were silent, for many days. The high preist began to fast, making all of the priests under him follow his lead, allowing the ordinary people of the clan larger portions of their dwindling food supplies.

For a week he fasted, then that night, he recieved a vision, a dream as he sat in the shrine, chanting. The gods showed him a valley, a valley so lush, so green that it hurt the eyes to look upon for too long. A winding slash of blue crisscrossed through the center of the valley, providing the much needed water that provided life out in the dessert. The high priest was shown a safe path to the valley, he awoke from his dream, and spread the good news telling the entire clan of his dream.

The next day they had packed everything they could gather, and began to head towards the safe path the gods showed to the high priest, the Nile river, which lead directly into the valley. So the clan set forth, heading off for this new land that was to be their own, in order to start their new lives. Many more died on the two day journey to the river, but five infants were born, within days of each other. Though these five children all shared a birth defect. Each one of them was born with only one working eye. The other was dead and milky white.

The high priest prayed to the gods, asking them about this strange defect, and again the gods gave him a vision. They appeared to him, telling him of the power of the path of the Shinobi, of the power of chakra, and how they themselves could access this power. The Gods went on to explain that the children who were just born would be able to learn elemental chakra, though only if they devoted themselves to one god above all others. The dead eyes were a sacrifice to the gods for this power they had been granted.

They gods also told the high priest that his generation would be unable to learn to use chakra, but that each child from now on would be born with only one working eye, and that future generations would have the ability to use chakra. Shortly after this vision the clan set off again on their journey through the desert, towards the lush greenery that was to be their new home. The high priest never saw it, as he died shortly after his second vision from the gods. His finaly act was to promote his right hand to high priest.

By the time the clan reached the valley their numbers had been halved, though many of the surviving women were pregnant, and each of them knew that their children would be born with this odd defect, for the high priest had told the clan of his second vision, before he died. The surviving members of the clan were frail and starving, many of them suffering from malnutrition. Luckily for them fruits, vegetables, and animals were in great abundance in this valley.

once more the clan settled down, their month long trek through the desert finished. Slowly the elders of the clan who had survived began to receive strange messages in their dreams, and awoke with odd knowledge; the knowledge of a shinobi. They had been instructed to teach the young children the way, teach them the essential skills of a ninja. Slowly more and more of the clan gained this knowledge, and were able to create an academy, to teach the youth of the village how to be a shinobi.

Years later the clan has once again returned to the size of a village, now with a strong bond with their gods, all members missing one eye. The clan now knew of the shinobi villages, especially of the closest, Sabakugakure. They did not pose a threat to the village, so the two had a tentative peace, neither attacked the other, though they would not assist each other either. The two villages have been this way for a while, in a stale mate. Until the new leader of the clan, one Anaguma Zeppeki, has tried to do the unthinkable, he is trying to make an alliance with the village. Only the future will tell what happens to those who dwell in the lush green valley known as Egypt.


History

History: Born into a quiet, friendly family, Kraken was a young, happy child. He was always laughing as a baby, no matter what Than, after a year, his younger brother was born with that fatal disease, and He began losing attention, and it all went to Deddo. But he was to young to understand that, and he was to young to understand the fact that his brother got most of the attention. HIs older sister, though, was kind to him, and still gave him some attention. He was very protective of his older sister, despite the fact that he could barely do anything to help her.

When his parents divorced, Kraken became quiet. He never talked, he never smiled. It was only after the begging of his patron god, Anubis, that he finally opened up a little, though not much. They were all releaved, but still, the days went by, and finally, Deddo was cured. Kraken was happy for him, but still never spent much time with them. He would usually spend most of his time around the village, by himself, eating, or otherwise being one of many residents in Sabakugakure. He sometimes tapped into Anubis' mind, asking him questions about his life, his job, but Anubis seldom answered. This led Kraken to believe nobody liked him after some time. He than spent a while just sitting in his house. He rarely left his room when his mind was set on that thought. He only came out to use the bathroom, watch TV, or eat. Other than that, he would sit there, watching the paint on the wall chip away.

Soon, some days after that, he was finally persuaded to come out, missing the days when he went to the Ramen vendors carts and thinking in the sandy desert on the outskirts of town. He grew a bit kinder to others, but not much. He also grew a bit mischevious and curious, wanting to gain some friends after years of solitude. He finally settled for one friend, Named Ihen, who spent most of the day in the Ramen shop along with Kraken. The two ninjas grew close, and sometimes sparred each other. They grew close to each other, and soon spent all day together, from dawn until dusk.

Soon, though, his friend had to move, to Glacier, and, Kraken, grief stricken, attempted to move with him. But Ihens mother scolded him ,and the moved away, and Krak hasn't seen him since. Now he goes around the village often, eating Ramen, staring out at the desert, and listening to his music by himself.

RP Sample: Etai walked silently and slowly to the Takekages office, his Village Headband under his sleeve, tied tightly to his arm. His longsleeve black shirt was torn on one sleeve, showing off his skinny arm. He wore a pair of black, fingerless gloves, and his sword was shining in the light. It was late in the day, around Dusk, so the streetlights were beginning to turn on. He was given hateful stares, and some people actually tried to attack him once or twice. But Etai didn't fight back. He would either take it, or flee.

Finally, he reached the office, and knocked heavily on it. He wanted to talk to the Kage. He needed to know more about the fight between this country
