Personal v2Personality:It would not be unwise to say that Itachi is a living interpretation of the symbolic relationship between yin and yang - the polar opposites interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and that give rise to each other.
Yang -- the most noticeable between the two of Itachi's personality. It is immediately clear to anybody who meets Itachi that he is a charmer. Whether it be the confidence he displays when speaking, or the twinges of quirkiness that display themselves upon his face, or a mixture of the two, there is a certain aspect of Itachi's that makes him an overall personable fellow. In public, one can always find Itachi smiling and enjoying himself, entertaining others with his bright personality. While some may find the happiness Itachi displays over what seemes to be nothing overbearing or annoying, most view it as a desirable trait in a friend, which has enabled Itachi to procure and retain mutual friendships with most people he meets. Itachi embraces the core values of Nordic chivalry, being kind to all, giving glory to his gods, and protecting the innocent from evil (including himself).
Yin -- the more obscure between the two of Itachi's personality. While outputting a genuine, friendly demeanor, Itachi is never un-alert, knowing all too well how swift death is dealt to those who are complacent with safety. The quirky aspects mentioned before are a side-effect of this ever-present search for danger. Due to the witness of his parents' brutal murder and being literally almost bathed in blood, Itachi was placed in a disposition towards bloodshed and killing. However, this goes against the most sacred doctrines of his beliefs, both religious and philosophical. To mediate between being pure and to keep from going on a rampage, Itachi only kills those who he deems are not worthy of their life. It is not unusual for Itachi to kill, torture, or maim murderers, rapists, or other serious criminals. The darkest part of Itachi is the intense desire to find the ones who took his parents' lives, and take theirs as retribution.
In the simplest terms possible, Itachi is an honestly kind person with a dark past.
Likes:Due to his violent disposition, in combination with the limitations he puts on himself due to his own philosophy and religion, Itachi enjoys granting death to those who deserve it. In addition, Itachi has always enjoyed the sound of rain, as the gentleness of it induces an atmosphere of tranquility. Another thing Itachi is very knowledgable in and enjoys thoroughly is the field of music, including theory and listening to it.
Dislikes:Even in light of his early past in which he enjoyed doing so, Itachi now dislikes the thought of sleep. He would much rather spend his time doing something productive instead, such as training or studying new types of jutsu or history. In addition, Itachi also hates the sensation of itchiness and extreme heat. There is nothing Itachi dislikes more about traveling to other places than learning that the weather his destination may or may not be sweltering in nature.
Motivation:Itachi has many goals despite his very low status as a genin within Boufuugakure. He considers the goal he has of the utmost importance would be to find the group of men and avenge his parents' death. Another motivation Itachi has is the promotion and spreading of his philosophy in which to help the world: help those who are righteous and good-hearted, and punish those who would threaten to disrupt the peace that the others produce.
Fears:Essentially none warranting placement here, as the one fear Itachi ever had (losing his family) already was made a reality, and he has come to terms with it. The worse that Itachi can fathom in the current time is himself dying before being able to avenge his mother and father. Itachi also fears of what he may become if his view of his guidelines for killing becomes skewed or tainted.
Clan InformationAzarai [Assumed]Bloodline Name:Fuuingan
Bloodline Ability:The Fuuingan (封印眼, lit. "Sealing Eye) is a powerful dojutsu granted to those who have blood of the Azarai clan pumping through their veins. The dojutsu grants upon the user the ability to place a seal of any nature on a non-moving target, such as a wall or floor, without the regular medium of pen and ink. This ability, when combined with damage-dealing seals like those typically associated with explosive tags, can deal devastating damage to landscape and person alike. In addition, the subject of fuuinjutsu automatically becomes the user's primary specialization, with the individual having seemingly empathic knowledge of seals. Because of enhanced chakra flow to the eyes because of the dojutsu, the user's vision is slightly increase (by a factor of 10%).
Location:Spread across the world.
Clan History:The Azarai were a fabled clan told to exist before the formation of Hidden Villages. Rumored to be fuuinjutsu masters and the creators of sealing techniques, they are believed to be a myth and dismissed as such. It has become apparent throughout the past couple of years that this is untrue, as the clan's signature trait: the Fuuingan, has appeared in individuals across the world. This can only mean the the clan's blood has been diluted among non-clan members, with only some offspring capable of activating their dormant kekkai genkai.
HistoryHistory:ChildhoodKenrai Itachi was born on a hot summer's night in the land outlining Boufuugakure to two loving parents. The family was close-knit until tragedy struck, and both of Itachi's parents were listed as casualties after slavers struck the village in which they lived. It was assumed that Itachi's parents gave their lives as to not let their child be conscripted into a life of slavery. A ninja patrol of Boufuu discovered the remnants of the village and the sole survivor of the attack: Kenrai Itachi, left traumatized after the attack. The mental abilities of the child were not hindered in any way; however, the violence and bloodshed of the fateful night left him with night terrors and the knowledge that his parents were cut down in front of him.
Before fulfilling his role as a shinobi of Shippugakure, Kenrai Itachi was, in the simplest of terms, a lazy child. While most his age would be found engaging in games with others and socializing, Itachi would prefer to remain indoors and sleep. This lethargic lifestyle led to an awkward start in school, in which Itachi continued to be rather introverted. As was frequent of children in the age frame, Itachi was ridiculed and bullied by his peers as a result of his timidity, which only escalated as age also increased. By the time Itachi was 10 years of age, he was physically assaulted nearly every day, beaten to a pulp by a trio of know bullies. Striving to become stronger and ward off any future assailants, Itachi enlisted in the ninja academy.
Feverishly learning the book material, Itachi graduated ahead of his class, becoming one of the first to engage in learning actual ninjutsu and taijutsu arts. One of the instructors at the academy quickly noted the progress that Itachi was making, labeling him as a potential candidate for rookie of the year. It took roughly six years since his parents' brutal killings, but Itachi was finally able to say that he was proud of the work he had done. Whereas in the past he would lie in bed letting evils torment him, he would now combat the very same evils by training until his knuckles tore, his feet bled, and his body collapsed from exhaustion.
The instructors were immensely surprised and disappointed when they learned of Itachi's exit from the ninja academy. Itachi had not seen why he would be missed - he had learned what he needed at the academy, and changed his lifestyle as a result. Returning to normal public schooling, the now-twelve year old was pleased to see that the same trio of bullies that had made his early childhood a living hell were still up to their un-noble antics. Becoming a target by appearing to be his old self, hunched shoulders, looking at the ground, appearing weak and afraid, it was only a matter of time before the bullies struck.
It was the same as last time, first came the insults "blonde-haired fag," "pussy," and the like. It didn't bother Itachi at all, he had learned to block out most of their words just through focusing on something else, and he wouldn't fight them if they didn't attack first. The indifference to their words Itachi was displaying aggravated the bullies further and further, until the one phrase he had never heard in his life was muttered by the strongest of the group: "your mom gives nice blowjobs." Itachi froze mid-step among chorus of "oohs" and laughter. Something within him snapped. His body seemingly moving of its own accord, Itachi simply smirked as he continually smashed his old assailant's head into the ground, painting the floor-tiles red after one smack.
The assault of the trio of bullies left Itachi expelled and nowhere to go -- his landlord had cancelled the lease on the apartment after word got around that one of his tenants was almost convicted of a crime. The same night of the assault, Itachi noticed that he had no nightmares during his sleep. Within the next couple of days as he lived on the streets, Itachi ran into one of his former instructors from the ninja academy. The instructor implored Itachi that he return and finish his training so that he could become a full-fledged ninja. Seeing no other option, Itachi accepted, living within one of the dormitories at the academy. During one of the many spars between students at the academy, Itachi spilled an immense amount of blood considering the nature of the fight, hospitalizing the other fighter for several days; that next day, Itachi noticed he had no nightmares, much like after he nearly-killed his past-assailant. After days of thought and research, Itachi concluded that he had to spill blood in order to remain at peace with the world around him.
RP Sample:Itachi sighed, examining the man who he was about to engage in combat. He had seen the man at a pub before the preliminaries of the exam even began. The man was despicable, Itachi couldn't count the numbers of times he had witnessed his opponent grope women, insult others, and assault those weaker to him. Itachi's nonchalance quickly turned into an expression of longing and impatience; he wanted this man's blood on his hands and he wanted it now. The second the words left the proctor's mouth Itachi dashed forward with speed that his opponent had no hopes of matching. Bring his fist up into a devastating uppercut, Itachi sent the teen into the air. Itachi jumped up, seizing his airborne opponent and throwing him towards the ground. A chorus of pain-filled "ahs" made their way around the arena's audience as the boy landed face first into the congregation of jagged rock.
Itachi walked toward the motionless body, drawing his kunai and ready to deal the final blow. When just ten feet away from his soon-to-be kill, a jounin - maybe the opponent's sensei, stopped him. Looking into his eyes with a blank stare, Itachi quickly realized who this man was. The smug expression on the man's face matched the one on one of the mens' faces who killed his parents on that fateful night long ago. Erupting into a blind rage, Itachi closed the distance between them with incredible speed, jounin-level at least. The man had no chance to react as the genin from Boufuu clutched his neck and slammed him into the ground, crushing his windpipe to a degree. A muffled "dumb bitch deserved to die" was all it took for Itachi to kill the man, ripping out his throat as he tossed him aside like a ragdoll, Itachi barely knew what happened when the man exploded in an excellent display of energy.
Itachi sighed, feeling as if an enormous weight had been lifted off of his shoulders.
